The third of Breaka’s self-releases sees collaborations between himself, known-associate Frazer Ray, and brother Bakey.
“Fun with a capital F is the theme of this EP. I selected these four with that in mind, each one also bringing a different flavour of the UK sound. ‘The Loudest Woiioii Ever’ and ‘Phone’s Ringin’ are the product of a few sessions that me and Frazer managed to squeeze in last year. We were hugely inspired by early dubstep, instrumental grime, and of course UK Funky.
For the flip, I thought it was high time to release some of me and my brother’s productions for the world to hear. ‘Club Dynamics’ takes things right up to 150bpm, and draws on Jungle and Juke influences. We round off the release with ‘Pro Perc', a UKG groover to vibe out to, named after the now closed drum shop on Kentish Town Road we’d visit as kids.“

FBN008 strikes with a storm of thunderous electro, techno and breakbeat grooves, as Hedchef searches for ‘A Disappeared Regime Of Materiality’.

‘Guillotine Clause’ brings razor-sharp synths to cut through a tense atmosphere, before flipping the script for a techno-charged second half to throw the dancefloor off-balance.

As we re-enter with Vol. 7 of Meeting Of The Minds & I've got a very special set of tracks on this one.

Even though I've known Sully for a number of years now, we've never actually been able to work on a tune together, for no reason in particular. We've been supporting each other's music in that time & I've been a big fan of some of his music, especially the tunes on his label Uncertain Hour, his recent EP on Astrophonica & his collaborative EP with Kid Lib on Magic 3. But our paths have never really crossed musically, so I thought that this collaborations series would give me good reason to get in touch and work on something with him and the outcome of that is "Windswept".

Breaks, bass, dub, techno, rave, acid, electro and Eurodance; 'Transnaturel' transcends genre. The first-ever compilation on Nehza Records is a mixed pot of sounds, and together they collide to highlight the beauty of nature and where we, as humans, stand with our environment in 2022.

Welsh producer Aloka injects a dose of gritty breakbeat on 'Digeridoo' and cites the cultural practices of native tribes as the source of his inspiration. The track is a take on people in power quashing native communities and, as a result, dissolving the connection between human beings.

Alicia Keys is one of the undisputed queens of contemporary R&B. Powerful vocals, earnest lyrics and a deep self-awareness are the main pillars that have held up her career. But what happens when you fuse ballads with basslines? For this vinyl-only co-release on Bristol imprints Eminent and Slippery Sounds, Knoxville’s Nikki Nair stands at the intersection between new and old and redefines exactly how to nail the bootleg edit.

‘If I Ain't Got You’ is a precise flurry of two-step garage and nostalgic vocals, Alicia’s lilting voice still recognisable despite the dancefloor environment. A glossy rhythm breathes life into the old classic so that it becomes a new entity, which somehow welds together the murky rave realm with the weightlessness of Summer. It’s rare for tracks to suit any given setting, but this one might just be a strong contender.
 
‘Show Me Love’ takes a more starry-eyed course, weaving dewy textures into a fresh whimsical appeal. There’s still a subtle nod to the past despite the more recent Alicia/Miguel sample, which comes in the form of the 2010’s grime era melodies and nostalgic soundscapes. The breakdown around the halfway mark is a particular treat; it hoists up the vocals in reverence before the first of two ice-cold, dubby drops.

They say that if you’re paying homage to one of the greats, you’ve got to do it right. But Nikki Nair goes above and beyond that into a captivating alternate reality where the rush the second time round is just as good. These bootlegs are instant classics in themselves.

January 2023 sees the launch of 'Steppers Globe’, a 4-week period of releases to showcase overseas UK Garage artists and display their talent on the main stage. The project consists of 4 EPs (to be released one per week in January), each of which are crossover releases with overseas labels pushing the UK-Garage sound. 

SPRAYBOX (Japan) was founded by Tokyo based producers Genick,
Jacotanu, Nizikawa, and Oblongar in November 2021. Their sole purpose
was to support Japanese dance producers, whose music draws a direct
influence from UK Bass sub genres.

 In this link-up, Steppers Club founding member Sam Deeley joins
 forces with That Fancy I, another very special Japanese prospect.

We’re excited to announce ‘Soon’ (MANT006), coming from debut artist, oliver. It’s a real honour to be chosen by an artist for their debut release, and we think you’ll enjoy the journey as he drifts between ambient, downtempo electronica, and techno.

'Possession', the stunning opening track, is an ethereal vignette capturing the melancholic atmosphere of late night and early morning. The EP's immersive title track, ‘Soon’, effortlessly layers pads and melodies that combine to provide moments of both introspection and euphoria. 'Tripped' and 'Melt' complete the EP's original material, and are as well suited to a Sunday drive as they are to the dance floor.

As is tradition Ian DPM, the previous EP artist, takes the lead on remix duties. Featuring on his 3rd consecutive Mantissa EP, he imprints his distinctive style on 'Possession', and expertly closes the record with a take that is vibrant, trippy and club ready.

RED010 marks a powerful statement of intent as we look to the next five years and beyond whilst reflecting on our achievements so far, what we aspire to accomplish and how we can continue to push the sounds that resonate with us. Although it has taken time to reach this milestone, our commitment to quality over quantity remains unwavering.

This compilation serves not only as a collection of club-ready tracks but also as a longform piece suitable to more passive listening. With a total of 14 tracks, it stands as our most extensive release yet, expanding our label family to well over 20 artists. The digital release will be complemented by a physical cassette, perfect for playing in the dusty tape deck of your mate's Vauxhall Corsa as you head to that mad rave in the countryside everyone is talking about.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) on this project with all the profits being donated to this cause. Both Lewis & Ethan have their own personal experiences with mental health difficulties and strongly believe that SAMH is absolutely vital in facilitating the provision and promotion of mental health care, support & information.

Product Toss joins the NHS for 'Plug Gulp,' a 4-track walk through the springy, sonically-gouged production style that the Newcastle-based artist has offered to the electronica world over the past few years. Disparate in BPM, structure, and inspiration, drawing idiosyncratically from Dubstep, UK Bass, and UK Funky, the vibe is profoundly dynamic and versatile in its engineering. Occupied with mid-frequency hums and inflections, bouncing against tight, syncopated percussion made seemingly from hollowed-out origins.

The journey across the collection follows the progression of mood and atmosphere akin to leftfield club music nightlife, with the artist drawing inspiration from their own experiences across many moments found only after dark. A desire to capture the evolution of such tracks' natural habitat is what informed Product Toss throughout their conception, and the 4 tracks nestle comfortably into this space - functional, DJ-ready tracks destined to influence movement.

'Bile' enters with a swung force characterized by pushing sub pulses, sparse drum patterings, and dripping, fluttery notes, both organic and inorganic in nature. Sensuous and dubby, the piece maintains a healthy homeostasis, shifting subtly with a droning layer of low-end that feels wholly reminiscent of Master Chief's shield recharging. Perhaps appropriate given the track is a weapon.

Hassan Abou Alam is next to step up to the unconventional Nerve Collect label with six tracks of futuristic club-ready chaos. The finely crafted EP arrives in August and comes on 12" vinyl and via all digital platforms.

Hassan Abou Alam has established himself as one of Egypt's most innovative underground musicians over the last 10+ years. His music is a meeting of disparate worlds - organic and synthetic designs, digital and analogue tools, the traditional and the futuristic, and it has come on the likes of YUKU, Rhythm Section, Banoffee Pies and Casa Voyager. His versatile sound pulls apart existing genres and reconstructs them as something entirely new.

Opener '3asabi' is a stylish sonic assault with thumping rhythms and trippy oscillations that will get any dance floor bouncing. It's fun yet functional, serious yet seductive.

Hassan Abou Alam's blurring of the lines between the real and the imagined is second to none on this EP. It's a sub-heavy mix of the human voice, machine-made sounds and inventive rhythms that make for something new, weird and wonderful.

Vancouver’s Destrata returns to Scuffed Recordings with three new tracks on his Keepsake EP, backed by a remix from SUCHI.

Originally appearing on London-based label Scuffed in 2023 with his Mutationist EP, Destrata picked up support from the likes of Leon Vynehall, rRoxymore, and Anz among others. Having also released with a ‘who’s who’ of electronic labels in his short career including 3024, SPE:C, and Of Paradise, Destrata was also named an artist to watch in 2024 by Mixmag.

Now returning with his Keepsake EP, Destrata describes his latest work as being altogether more melodic than his previous releases, while keeping drum work front and centre - or as he puts it, “My bass music friends think I make techno & my techno friends think I make bass music.”

Destrata’s melodically-focussed outlook is obvious from the outset, with lofty synths and vocal chops contrasting warping bass and skippy percussion across the EP’s three tracks.

Mantissa w/ Ian DPM- 23/01/2025

"The first single from our upcoming album to be released on Human Disease Network, NRJ du Désespoir marks a radical departure from our previous releases, featuring aggressive synthesizers, complex rhythms, and a special focus on sound design.

The track evokes the tacky atmosphere of late-night public radio shows, where prank calls, celebrity gossip, and the latest hits would dominate the airwaves. These references are sampled and shattered into abstraction, creating a blend of sounds borrowed from various aesthetics: breakbeat, trance, acid, garage, and bass – echoes of the 2000s resonating in a futuristic and diverse era."

Magic Bells was rediscovered after the theft of his laptop. It was a sketch made alone in a hotel room just days after a heavy breakup, bringing a more personal and emotional twist to Tsepo’s repertoire. On the flip, Phantom Fibre stands as Tsepo’s most polished club track to date, carefully crafted over 18 months and luckily mastered right before the laptop and hard drive theft. Both tracks complement each other perfectly in their percussive and detail driven nature as well as their playful dance with the listeners sense of expectation.

Australian based ambassadors of genre fusing techno X CLUB. make their anticipated EP debut with ’SCUM’. Shifting between hasty breaks and propulsive 4/4 kicks, the EP focuses upon a definitive neo-futuristic rave sound inspired by a combination of 90s rave, jungle, electro and warehouse techno. Amongst clear hints of nostalgic influence, X CLUB. have involved a quantitive level of abrasive digital and analogue sound design in sculpting their signature techno-grime texture. Featuring four dynamic heaving club cuts, ‘SCUM’ explores tones of darkness while inducing a trance-like sense of euphoria. Blasts of contorted synth tones rage against mechanic percussive rhythms manifesting the scene of a dystopian industrial rave set neither in the past nor future.

‘SCUM’ is officially set for release on July 2nd via brand new Brisbane based electronic label Earthed.

PREMIERE: Ronan - Dream Portal (Reptant's Lizard Tech Mix) [Planet Euphorique]

Straight off the assembly line of an unregistered production plant in an unmapped cave somewhere on the Swiss-French border, After My Bae is Hermeth’s attempt to deal with conjugal strife and narcotic dependencies by fusing his signature saturated acid with furiously dirty ghetto beats. The man has issues, no one can deny it, but goddamn does the music bang.

Fresh Kicks 127: Ian DPM

The second release of 3 Feet Deep takes on a darker tone, bringing together clubby tracks that are centered around strong basslines. “Alright Then” is a consistent construction of soulful chords and rolling snares with an altogether simplicity yielding the floor to the bassline to rule.

Break Cycle marks Fly By Night’s third release of 2020 with a heavy fusion of breaks & electro from up-and-coming artist Tom Place in a 3-track EP. Following his releases on Bade Records and Aloka’s Typeless, this year has marked an emergence for Tom as he further embellishes his recognisable brand of techno inspired electro. The EPs opener, Eight Five, is a heavy-hitting electro track featuring a rolling drum beat and an instantly recognisable vocal echoing throughout its’ inner realms. Followed up by its’ more spacey counterpart Break Cycle, a track which builds tension perfectly and exactly surmises what makes Tom’s production so exciting to listen out for right now. Featuring heavy UK bass influences, this track really doesn’t belong in a world where vibrating soundsystems can’t pulse out its’ unrelenting bassline. The EP is wrapped up with the genre-defying Transients, a floaty, emotional track, which serves as a reminder to Tom’s dubstep roots, while still remaining indistinctively electro. Break Cycle embodies a perfect summary of the direction Fly By Night are pushing into as a label, at the start of a busy period of more things to come from both the artist and label.

The creative minds behind Handy, merch dons, illustrative geniuses, radio hosts and all-round good guys are now trying their palms at the world of the record label.

No strangers to danger, they hit the ground running with a five-track rodeo from Handy resident Maroki, complete with remixes from two standout talents of their respective scenes, 1800-Girls and Jensen Intercepter.

Jensen Interceptor offers his signature sound on a plate to close out proceedings on this release. Warp-speed tempo, rapid fire synth lines and crazy percussion result in a guaranteed dancefloor destroyer.
