In her EP Separation, released on Paperfunk Recordings, RiANTHE transposes the very notion of separation into sound: a tight kick-drum thump ticks off the seconds of an expanding rift, a dense bass line pulses like blood retreating from shared memories, and gauzy synth layers slowly shear apart, leaving a transparent corridor of silence where you can hear a new identity crystallising from the shards of former closeness; the music does not merely illustrate detachment—it inhabits it, revealing how an act of separation widens the space to breathe, and how, in that sonic pause between “we” and “I,” it finally becomes possible to hear one’s own echo.

@tim-reaper is back on Repertoire - and he's brought a few mates along.

The EP starts at a blistering pace with the beefed up VIP mix of his 2016 single "Lanterns", whilst label boss Law alongside Kola Nut join forces with Tim for the lush roll out "Unknown Future".

Continuing Repertoire's rich tradition of working with Canadian artists, Montreal's Comfort Zone brings his unique melodic stylings to the laid back "Greenscreen", before Tim closes proceedings on the same note as it started with the chopped up amenage of the Apocalypse Now sampling "Sunrise".

London-based No Nation heads up the first in a brand new series on Inperspective Records, 'Technicality Sessions', highlighting the most explosive talent and eclectic selections!

Rooted in the sounds of Jazz, Progressive Rock and Fusion, No Nation quickly cemented himself as a staple within the Soul, RnB and old school Hip-Hop club scenes with a Residency at Vibe London, alongside stellar appearances at popular events like Old School Sundays and GotSoul Sundays, as well as international bookings across the globe. A transition away from his roots brought him closer to Jungle, and a residency on Subtle Radio exploring a fresh take on UK dance music.  All these influences are eminent throughout this sublime mix. 

As a producer his music is something to be savoured. Drawing inspiration from music on labels such as Inperspective and Scientific Wax, he combines a dynamic and diverse fusion of soulful sounds, chopped breaks and samples - sure to leave a lasting impression. Along with his production partner Sheba Q, No Nation has several features on Bristol-based dance label, Slippery Sounds, and looks forward to releases on other notable imprints in 2021.

Green Fingers Collective Presents: 5nakey Selections

Squidgy, fluffy, soft and sweet — all words that describe the tasty marshmallow treats that front the latest SweetBox release, but a far cry from the two weapons held within.

Pressing the Big Red Button is Manchester junglist K Super, co-founder of the Certain Sounds party and resident for the Ruff Cutz and Pick & Mix Soundsystem crews alongside partner Atlas (who joins her on the flip).

Lead track ‘Flumps’ is pure hellfire hardcore. Full of sneering darkside stabs and propelled by an insatiable break, it was originally produced as a war dub, but after a little more tinkering is now a certified WMD.

B-side ‘Condemned’ offers heavyweight jungle that swaggers and stomps in equal measure, inspired by the likes of Digital and Spirit. Prime your gun fingers for this one.

Having found new purpose in 2020 with acclaimed releases from the likes of Constrict, Luke Sentric and TYPE, these two searing cuts from K Super lay the foundations for what’s set to be another standout year for SweetBox.

Next-gen junglists No Nation and Sheba Q join the Diffrent Music roster, bringing with them the rebirth of the GiraffeStep series.

An incubator for up-and-coming talent that saw early releases from the likes of Fixate, Lakeway, Conduct and Crypticz, the last GiraffeStep release came in early 2018 with Itti’s ‘Ritual’ EP. Confined to the pages of history since then, a new wave of talent has inspired label boss Dexta and breathed new life into the series. Returning with a new look for 2021, GiraffeStep kicks off with a brace of tracks from two of London’s most exciting rising talents.

No Nation started out spinning soul, RnB and hip-hop at nights across the UK capital, including Vibe London where he held down a residency. Though he’s since moved into more high-energy territory via his Subtle Radio show and Mutuality event, which stormed The Cause in 2020, these sounds still inform his sets and productions.
Sheba Q built her name via her Jam In The Attic events in Brixton. A member of the House Of Hi-FI crew, who are focused on closing the gender imbalance and supporting womxn in d&b, she also hosts a show on Subtle and in 2020 delivered fiery guest mixes for the likes of DJ Mag and Goat Shed.

The pair met a decade ago, while studying engineering at Queen Mary University in London; initially connecting over a mutual love of soul and hip-hop, it’s in jungle that they’ve now found a shared rhythm. At the end of 2019 they decided to focus their efforts on production, and grabbed the attention of many with the searing ‘Too Late’ in summer 2020, which took aim at those involved in the cultural whitewashing of jungle music and delivered a lesson in furious breakbeat science in the process. (A version of this track has been signed to Diffrent’s forthcoming ‘Revolution Of The Giraffe’ LP.)


For their Diffrent debut, the pair deliver two cerebral but propellant cuts. ‘Seasonal Grief’ is swathed in cosmic pads and driven by the infectious groove of funky conga rolls. It isn’t until near-halfway through that a glistening sax drifts through the mix, delivering an empyrean moment, before fading once more, consumed by a voracious beat and melancholy keys.

‘Mother of Mars’ is similarly unpredictable. A familiar harmonica intro is met by the thump and clatter of rolling drums, that all of a sudden give way to an unearthly vocal and ominous bassline, as if summoning the ghosts of the titular, long dead planet. As the track moves forward, the break becomes increasingly fragmented, flinging out chunky kicks and the razor-sharp shrapnel of detonated snares.

GiraffeStep couldn’t ask for a better start to its new life, and the release is an early marker of a year No Nation and Sheba Q are ready to take by storm. Available digitally and as a limited edition 10” vinyl, ‘Seasonal Grief’ / ‘Mother of Mars’ will be available to pre-order on 5th February ahead of full release on 26th February.
