Diffrent Music roars back into action after an extended hiatus to raise a couple of young giraffes with the electrifying new compilation, ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ LP.

Launched in 2010 with the aim of bringing something new to a drum & bass scene that had become overly formulaic, the label has continuously pushed in new directions, often incubated tomorrow’s stars, and evolved beyond even that original grand ideal. ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ unleashes 17 tracks of bleeding-edge electronic music, proving that after 13 years, Diffrent still sounds like nothing else.

Core artists from the label’s distinguished history bring their expertise, such as drum & bass mainstay Arkaik and sound architect Fearful, who team up with label boss Dexta for the MC GQ-sampling ‘Old Skool’ — a new track with a classic Diffrent sound. And there are numerous debuts: A.Fruit reworks an all-time Diffrent classic, ‘Boxgroove’ by Dexta & Hyroglifics, into a glitchy halftime stomper; none60 bosses Silent Dust turn Dexta’s ‘SE4’ into a rebellious dancefloor juggernaut; and the mysterious Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ becomes locked ‘n’ loaded rave artillery in the hands of Pepsi Slammer.

Label stalwart Mauoq puts his signature psychedelic future dub spin on ‘Departed’ by Cuelock, who in turn delivers the ice-cold, grime-indebted ‘Pages Of Snow’. Lakeway conjures the epic ‘Even Though’, nearly eight minutes of ecstatic, spell-binding, hyper-rave wonder. Dexta goes solo with squelchy techno jungle stormer ‘Giraffes On Acid’. Even Sense MC makes an… appearance.

New-gen Diffrent acts are in fine form too. The inimitable BrandNewTrumpets opens the album alongside Macc; ‘We Are The Tightrope Walkers’ is a powerful spoken word piece that erupts into a hail of punishing breaks. No Nation, Sheba Q and BK Balance, meanwhile, turn out explosive, hi-tek junglism on ‘Too Late’. From Diffrent’s industrial-toned sister label Are We Really Alone? (A.W.R.A.), Amir De Bois joins forces with Fearful for the paranoid, jittering ‘73’; Tokyo’s Itti summons thunderous bass on the ritualistic ‘Rumbling’; and Croatian artist Spaj.A.S.E.’s competition-winning, mind-mashing remix of the first ever Diffrent release, ‘Everyones Mad’ by Chills, finally sees the light of day.

Always looking to the future, Diffrent also welcomes modern jungle visionary Eusebeia, who puts his ethereal touch to Crypticz’s ‘Could Have Been’, and Stateside up-and-comers Illexandra & TGRbass, who deliver the supercharged, elastic bounce of ‘Swampy Swami’. Closing out with one from deep within the vaults, ‘Aftaparty’ is Beezy and MNTX’s ode to seeing where the night takes you. It’s a fitting note to end on, as a new era of Diffrent Music begins. Where will it take you? Join us on the ride and find out.

"I've loved every moment of the label so far: the fast-paced release schedules, the slow years, the podcasts, albums, singles, EPs, parties, etc. This compilation album signposts where we are at — a bunch of classic Diffrent artists, a load of new faces, and a few remixes thrown in for good measure. Each tune stands alone, but stands tall next to each of its siblings. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we have! The revolution is here, join the revolution!" - Dexta

‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ will be released Friday 22nd September 2023. It will be available digitally and on cassette, alongside a limited edition zine.

SE4 (Silent Dust remix)

FFS Premiere: Dexta – SE4 (Silent Dust remix)

Dexta’s @diffrent label roars back into life with 17 cuts of exploratory drum & bass artillery from the outer perimeters of the genre. Listen exclusively to ‘Boxgroove (A.Fruit Remix)’.

Boxgroove (A.Fruit Remix)

Premiere: Dexta & Hyroglifics ‘Boxgroove (A.Fruit Remix)’

Blood Trust makes a pitch-black return to the Digital Red Label series with "Give Them Rope" and "Leagues Apart", revealing a decelerated, yet intricate evolution of the signature sound he first introduced on 3024. 

"Give Them Rope" navigates the murky terrain of mutant UK garage and grime influences, hinting at the pulse of Diwali-rhythm dancehall. An ever-present double-time roll punctuates through distorted ambience, evoking a sense of relentless drive. 

"Leagues Apart" delves deeper into the skeletal framework of UK garage, but deviates into a stripped-back, darker space with precision bursts of fragmented breaks. Are these tracks Drum & Bass or has Blood Trust begun an exploration of something else entirely?

Written & Produced: Blood Trust

Guest Mix 24. Invincible Cut ***Free Download***

Pepsi Slammer hits SweetBox with two cut-throat hardcore belters.

Release Date: 3rd November 2023
Pre-order: https://sweetbox.bandcamp.com/album/pepsi-slammer-jazzies

Fresh from his gnarly remix of Gaunt’s ‘Firefloor’ for sister label Diffrent Music, the Londoner ups the ante with ‘Jazzies’, a grime-meets-breakbeat sheller packed with dramatic strings, sirens, pirate radio vox and the gulliest of low-ends. Pure slewidge!

Flipside ‘Waste My Time’ is just as dangerous, with a slippery, swinging beat and relentless, pulsating bassline. Constantly reinventing itself and attacking from unexpected angles, it’s another dancefloor damager that stands out in any set.

Co-founder of South London record store and electronic music hub, Planet Wax, and lathe-cut specialists 1-800-Dubplate, Pepsi Slammer (AKA Sicknote) is a true vinyl obsessive and a walking encyclopaedia of hardcore, jungle/drum & bass and so much more — and he’s put all that knowledge to good use delivering two distinctive club heaters in classic SweetBox fashion. Slammer by name, slammer by nature!
