Break Free Your Mind

We’re extremely happy to welcome Housty to Incurzion with his ‘Harmonics’ EP. The 22 year old Bristolian newcomer has already made an stamp on the scene with unforgettable releases with Identity Records and Transparent Audio.

In true Incurzion fashion, we agreed with Housty to be completely outside the box with his demo’s. Ranging from harmonic catchy liquid to experimental, subtle minimal horns. Housty has successfully displayed his wide range of styles and skills on his Incurzion debut.

Welcome to the team Jack.

A Lifetime Obsession

Melinki & Kind Fiction - Trying Feat. Luke Truth (VIP)

Doomsday fishes, a term often used to describe ancient or highly endangered fish species, are living reminders of Earth’s evolutionary history. These species, such as sturgeons, paddlefish, and coelacanths, have survived millions of years but are now critically threatened due to human activities like habitat destruction, overfishing, and climate change. They play crucial roles in maintaining aquatic ecosystems by supporting food webs and contributing to biodiversity.
Their decline serves as a stark warning of the fragility of our natural world and highlights the urgent need to protect freshwater and marine habitats. By caring for these species, we ensure the stability of ecosystems that not only support diverse life forms but also provide resources essential for human survival. Biodiversity conservation is not just about saving individual species—it’s about maintaining the balance of life on Earth. And that is the reason why we will donate all proceeds to Ocean Conservancy and support their work.

T3K Recordings unveils the latest release from Japanese Drum & Bass powerhouse Tomoyoshi! Known for his razor-sharp production and high-energy sound, this release on the H30 series is something special—it blends his signature style with chilled retro flavors, creating a unique and captivating vibe.
The Feel EP highlights why Tomoyoshi is a hidden gem in the Drum & Bass world, deserving of more recognition for his exceptional creativity and skill.

I found my old files to one of my favourite albums I made called Rebitten By The Lizard when I went on Holiday to Lizard in Cornwall here in the UK. So I decided to reimagine all the main tracks into something a little more upbeat and covers rave genres House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and UK Funky. If you want to listen to the original album the links are below.

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo
