Bex & LOOR - Feels (Early Hours Mix)

Kessler - Brain Displacement

Resurrecting 3 unreleased gems from the Swamp 81 glory years.

Breathing new life into these timeless OneOneOne club classics, Madam X welcomes live sequencing duo, Klose One and Claus Fuss to KAIZEN.

Having done the rounds on the UK underground circuit, these weaponly dubs have been crying for release. The collaboration between London's golden boy Klose One and classically trained German composer and producer Claus Fuss catapults these underground stalwarts into the spotlight once again.

A1) WOUND UP
Wonky techno at its finest. Tailor-made for the shufflers. No-nonsense ‘lights-down-low’ underground hard-hitting anthem.

B1) TIEFSEETAUCHER
A sly creeper. Clocking in at an imposing nine minutes, with an arpeggiated clusterfuck of bleepy techno pads, squishy flavours and shuffling hi-hats, it’s straight-forward, rolling techno at its most mesmerising and hypnotic.

B2) THEME FROM LEVEL 3
For the hoods-down, intuitive movers. A stripped-back, ecstatic abstraction of steady builds, bridges and breakdowns. Marble-smooth pads and pristine hits, creating euphoric hands-in-the-air moments.

The perfect soundscape, suspended in hedonism and ecstasy.

As you ascend to your peak, the unyielding kickdrum, distorted synth and groove bring you back to earth in a climactic return to reality.

Lacuna delves into deeper and darker territory with a split EP from two young producers carving out their own niche in the bass music landscape. Following 2023 releases on Left, Right & Centre and Nostro Hood System respectively, Small Crab and Elpac join forces on Lacuna to deliver four no-nonsense, club-ready, low-end tracks.

PREMIERE: Small Crab - Snake Bite [Lacuna]

Bwoy, it’s dark in here.
New name, who dis? Austrian genre bender Toupaz, fka Awo Ojiji, delivers four polyrhythmic steppers that weave blissful moments
into an threatening aura. Is it half-speed, is it double? Is it both?
Either way, there's loads going on.

Glass Ft. Lisa More - I Prowl The Night

Maelita n’en est pas à son premier essai musical puisque c’est à 7 ans qu’elle commence la musique en tant que pianiste. Une dizaine d’années après, c’est derrière les platines qu’on la retrouve avec sa volonté de casser les genres en proposant des sets toujours variés et éclectiques.
Un seul but, déconstruire les idéaux afin de partager son amour de la musique. Si elle a fait ses armes à Grenoble, dans des endroits comme L'Ampérage et La Belle Electrique, aux côtés d’artistes comme Lena Willikens ou Optimo, c’est désormais à Lyon qu’elle réside.
Cette ville qui l’inspire par ses multiples influences, lui offre un terrain de jeu où elle continue d'exprimer toute sa créativité.

With In Filtration and Paradigm I wanted to explore aspects of 4x4 Grime and Techno, touching ground on the dubstep-meets-techno sound that's been making rounds these recent years. The result is an honest approach to these worlds, attempting to pick up the fundamentals while incorporating my own sense of merging grime, 2-step, techno and dubstep.

Krotone returns, rebooting his own imprint with a two-track release exploring the darker side of UKG & Techno.

Krotone has a proven track record of delivering heavy hitting, dark and dubbed-out garage/techno crossovers that always hit deep. With this, his first release of 2025, Krotone unveils Pull & Always Evolve… a pair of finely-tuned atmospheric steppers that see him continue to shape his own sonic terrain. Both tracks inhabiting the liminal space between the dancefloor and the introspective, recalling a lineage that stretches back to the golden age of the UK underground.

This release sees Krotone at his most compelling…. a call to both remember and push forward.

Soreab continues his rapid ascent through the underground with Ziran, a singular, undeniably seminal collection of richly atmospheric, endlessly swirling, thunderous bass and techno compositions that explode through the lithosphere like a fire fountain and find their home on Of Paradise.

Comprising four original tracks, including collaborations with Montréal-based artist SIM and Serbian producer Feloneezy, Ziran sees the London-based artist elevate his craft, drawing on his refined approach to sound design and sonic clarity to deliver a spacious, hypnotic, and fully immersive label debut, one that presents an altered sense of human nature that cannot be reached by words.

After heartbreak and a stolen hard drive and laptop, a new chapter opens. Amsterdam-based Tsepo returns to Intercept with a powerful two-tracker born from both emotional and material loss. 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.

Alrighty, In this Instrumental, I applied what I learned with Compression, however, this time around, I used one less plugin during mixing, and the compression in a different way. 

The Outcome turned out being nice, not as dark towards dynamics as the house instrumental was. A little less black, a bit better overall satisfaction.

I also did the mastering a little bit differently as well. I wasn't able to achieve 8 LUFS, however I was able to achieve 8.5 LUFS.

The Sub Bass in this Instrumental will likely really work a woofer in a good way where you the listener enjoy it.
