Blu Terra - Fix

@DRJEEP unveils his brand new Assassino EP on KAIZEN.

Early support from Pearson Sound, Pariah, Jay Carder & Roni

As the first transatlantic signing for the label, Doctor Jeep brings a dynamic fusion of genres, paying homage to his Latin American roots whilst pushing the boundaries of Baile Funk, UK Bass, & Broken Techno.

Following his collaboration on Madam X’s Homecoming Ep, coming straight off the back of a European tour & release on TraTraTrax, it’s no surprise that André Lira’s cross-pollinating sounds marks a milestone for the KAIZEN 10 year birthday.

Tracklist:
1.) Assassino
2.) Pula Perereka
3.) Cyber Funk

Assassino sets the tone with high-energy intensity at 150 BPM. Merging Baile Funk, complex drum patterns & techno, the real "sound the alarm" deadly Dubstep switchup SKREAMS 2004 nostalgia. Paying homage to the Dubstep glory years of Benga, Mala & Coki, echoing the classic sounds of FWD & DMZ, it’s a fierce Dj weapon, armed to murdah dancefloors.

Pula Perereka is a playful fusion of Baile Funk & wobbly UK Bass that rides an infectious beat & quirky frog croak. Yes, you read correctly. A staple in Pearson Sound’s Dj sets with plays all across the festival circuit, the boundaries of straight-fire bangers & tongue-in-cheek techno are forever evolving.

Cyber Funk blends the worlds of Electro & Baile Funk. Channelling the robotic essence of Kraftwerk & Detroit techno underneath a repetitive "cha-cha-cha" vocal & sharp snare hit, it’s the perfect genre-bending approach to André’s influences in underground club music, highlighting his Brazilian roots & a decade of NYC rave culture.

Doctor Jeep’s connection with Madam X goes back to when he received one of the first KAIZEN hoodies. Their paths crossed again in 2019 with a joint performance at Elsewhere club. Bringing Doctor Jeep into the KAIZEN family feels like a natural progression, reinforcing the label's ethos of fostering close-knit, innovative artist relationships.

Tectonic Sound lays down the gauntlet for the future direction of the label. The compilation comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, including re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like 2562, Shed, and Distance. It’s an exhilarating 24-track journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic’s sound in mind - at an intersection where dubstep and techno meet.

Beatrice M. - Poison

Japanese explorer of the deep Dayzero is next up on Nerve Collect with his Step Inna EP, which brings six tracks of meticulously crafted post-dubstep rhythm and bass. 

Tokyo-based Dayzero has long been providing a link between the Far East and the UK underground. His futuristic sounds rewire dubstep, techno, breaks and bass with psychedelic colours and spaced out moods on leading labels like Livity Sound and ZamZam. He has a new album on the way this year, but first comes this latest intersection of body-driven, mind-expanding sounds.  

'Revival' is engineered for full-body movement. It's intelligent, instinctive and just a bit unhinged as watery droplets and a frazzled lead warp space and time while mangled bass drills down deep. 'Step Inna' skanks through a dystopian dreamscape with chanting dub vocals. They echo like encrypted mantras as calculated bass patterns ground the groove, percussive hits launch you skyward and then collapse inward. 'Antibody' has spring-loaded bass that rebounds under rogue circuitry while the rhythm stutters in broken, syncopated spasms below a smattering of wobbly toms.

'Remains' is highly pressured and kinetic, a thudding rhythm with overdriven tribal percussion pining you to the 'floor. 'Alignment' is a tectonic transmission sent back from tomorrow—mechanical yet organic, the bassline rumbles with subatomic weight beneath ghostly pads and static-charged synth lines. 'Gravity Phrase' is where ancient rag	a meets future bass culture. Stringy Indian melodies linger in the shuffling dub rhythms and wordless vocals drift like vapour trails in a soundscape where mysticism and machinery collide. 

This is an EP of precision-guided portals to the outer edges of bass music.
