Bait’s second VEP (Various EP) is a 4-track dive into a rather modern phenomenon: 150 dubstep, as DJs and crowds seem to be enjoying the faster bass sounds, yet broken rhythms and heavy halftime pulses. For this release, we’ve got L.A.’s rising bass-music talent Carré, who specialised in racing wobblers, and recently released her debut solo EP on her label FAW (Fast at Work). Track 2 is by UK-born Berlin-based Formella. This is the Femme Bass Mafia member’s first-ever release. The Third track is by Fast Castle label captain Gent1le $oul, also Berlin-based and pushing hybrid dubstep in the German capital with hot vinyl releases and parties. Last but not least, SPLT’s mental banger “Grill Party” that Beatrice M. happened to discover in Laksa’s Truant podcast and reached out after dropping an “ID?” comment on SoundCloud. The Lyon-based producer never misses, his tracks have been played out multiple times by Garçon and Agonis, in the continuity of merging bass and techno.

@Defrostatica is delighted to welcome @LaDame1 to the label. The kind polyglot DJ and producer from Belgium, with a vision of music that is centered around global breakbeats, presents four forward-thinking takes on jungle music.

She has crafted her own distinctive approach to jungle drum 'n' bass, combining elements of both slow and fast styles within the genre in a way that is entirely unique. Her drum hits are precisely
and minimalistically arranged, creating a powerful impact in perfect harmony with deep-roaring basses and vibrant, tropical voices. La Dame's conceptual use of animal-sounding samples is based
on the idea that the Bestiary EP depicts creatures that are a mixture of human-cyborg and animal, through electronic music. We can clearly hear the creatures dancing passionately and loudly on the
broken screens of our time.

@The-Untouchables remix of Kinnara, a being half human and half bird, is as heavyweight as you can expect from them and we are over the moon to have the pleasure to premiere it on our platform!

Kuwaq Yaku is a tribal track merging influences from old school dub, and techno, between the two phases. It's a track I've been sitting on for quite a while and has had 3 different names leading up to this release 🤣

'Kuwaq Yaku' is a location from a Tomb Raider playthrough I loved, and I feel the Mayan areas in the location harnessed the tribal feel of the track.

Hope you enjoy! Big thanks to @im-zonna on the stellar master everytime!

Fear Of Silence VA-1

The third release on Dubrunner's Menace label finds the soundsystem stalwart continuing to refine his distinctively modern club twist on dub sensibilities. Drawing elements of techno, trance, amapiano and dubstep into his lean and mean digi-dub workouts, Blackheart arrives as a laser-focused selection pitched at forward-facing DJs working the dance at peak time.

For all the weight powering the likes of 'Protocol', Dubrunner's distinctive style is rooted in minimalism. The tangible breathing room in the mix leaves plenty of space for every subtle synth flourish and spring reverb splash to shine while maintaining a seductive tension throughout, all the better to hold the dancefloor energy on a tight leash.

There's an even stronger sense of pressure bubbling under the surface on 'Blackheart' thanks to the looming low-end which purrs away underneath the crooked-but-driving drums, leaving the lead lines to add an emotive flourish as a foil to the introspective dub chords which shimmer through the track's latter stages.

'Bad Mind' is a precision-sculpted throw down shaped out by delicate percussive intrigue and snaking groove, leaning further into a dub techno palette to set the mood and offset by flickers of auto tuned vocals that nod to amapiano.

To round the EP off without easing up on sheer soundsystem impact, 'Night Shift' carries some of Dubrunner's most assured production work to date. The ramp up for the drop is undeniable, letting the bass snarl and the drums roll without losing that sharply-rendered restraint we've come to expect from one of the most inventive producers in the broad expanse of contemporary bass music.

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.
