With the debut VA compilation of Basilica Blueprints laying the foundation for the label, Basilica now moves on to building higher and harder with the highly anticipated debut solo EP from UKBass heavy hitter, 9TRANE. 

9TRANE’s beginnings are a hard 140 instrumentalist featuring heavily previously on grime labels such as 1Forty have solidified hard hitting and gritty tonality to his sound. His progression into the 130 bass and techno scene then combined these elements with the groove and flow of techno and electro. 9TRANES percussion is a force to be reckoned with, slashing through the sonic walls of dark and dangerous basses and ethereal atmospherics.

The Slang EP builds a scene of intense suspense. Dark and ghostly halls of sound surround with distant swelling vocal cuts that build the wavering storm that is about to come crashing in. The storm then rolls in with an engulfing swell of deep and wobbling bass, sharp and crispy claps and percussion rolls through as the storm continues.
9TRANE’s releases have garnered the support of Jamz Supernova on BBC Radio 1Xtra, the mighty Loefah on Rinse FM and many many more, along with lining up alongside the likes of My Nu Leng, Opium Hum and Red Light.

Dubrunner continues to shape out a vital, modernist slant on the soundsystem tradition with this second drop on his label Menace. In keeping with the approach set out on 2023’s Ruthless EP, his firm foundation of steppas, dub and digi is a springboard for explorations of broader club styles, taking in elements of breakbeat hardcore, techno and plenty more besides.

Fallen Tree builds on the promise of his debut with four further meditations. Lead single ‘Shangdao’s Revenge’ is a monolithic, moody half-stepper electrified with dub techno chord shimmers and elastic breakbeats, and spaced out with deep wells of atmospheric processing.

‘Fallen Tree’ locks into a tight 4/4 march driven by detailed percussion, with a classic steppas bassline, off-beat chord chops and distant melodica touches paying tribute to hugely influential UK steppas pioneers Alpha & Omega and their apocalyptic cut ‘Ground Is Shaking Dub’. The presence of log drums remind you Dubrunner is bringing his own fusions to the table, drawing on the amapiano explosion as fuel for this hybridised fire.

‘Overruled’ strikes a more forthright, political tone, as Dubrunner foregrounds his values in a fierce statement against the oppressive systems of state control, capitalism and racism. The vocal samples come from Sankara Future Dub Resurgence, whose focus is on Africa’s defiance of its colonial history. The taut, high-definition construction around the message takes its cues from the explosive sonics heard at Darwin’s bassweight REEF sessions in Berlin.

The breakstep lead-in on ‘Pressure’ tells you to prepare for a drum-focused workout, and that’s precisely the approach Dubrunner takes as he chops up the percussion and maintains a light-footed impact in contrast to the broad, cinematic heft of the other tracks on the EP. It’s a potent demonstration of the versatility in the Dubrunner sound, while still maintaining that grounded sense of soundsystem meditation which courses through everything he turns out.

In 2020, Phasmid released his debut single ‘Shunned’ on Gimme A Break’s We Are Viable compilation, raising funds to support Leeds-based MAP Charity. Five years on, the eclectic DJ and producer has announced that his debut physical EP will be released via GAB on April 4th 2025.

Having cut his teeth in the UK Garage and Breaks scene, Phasmid took an extended leave from the DJ circuit to refine his sound and production techniques. Hadal Zone is the culmination of Phasmid’s various musical explorations to date, showcasing the producer’s signature clean-cut and bass-led take on breakbeat, electro and trance fusion.  

‘Onyx’ pushes the project forward with two experiments in percussive UK bass, with a four-by-four surprise in the latter.
