A. "Coming For You"
B. "You Know Me"

Next on the table keeping the pink giraffe output fluent and high quality is a two track single from Russian based Kije (Kie-Gee / Ki-j / Kidge? You decide!). Channeling through the brand new GiraffeStep subdivision, this debut release kicks off with a bang. Kije steps away from his usual 2-step tech based explorations and drops two well contrasted pieces perfect for the Diffrent Music catalogue. 'Coming For You' is a real moody halftime giraffe head-nod vibe with rib cracking subs, crisp hitting rimshot/snare hits and dark atmospheric soundscape work. The flip-side, titled 'You Know Me' is nearly a million miles apart style wise, with it's unique blend of smooth melodic strings, powerful vocal snips and hard hitting drums all fused together with a slight underlying duke style groove pumping through.

Support from Reso & Mistajam on BBC Radio 1Xtra.

Kije - Coming For You [GSTEP001]

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?

Highlander - Subtle Radio - 16/09/2023

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!

The project, titled “Kord EP” explores subterranean depths, expansive sound design and intricate drum combos.
