Dexta comes with his most personal work to date: three Moog-fuelled tracks dubbed the ‘Third Life’ EP.

Diverting away from his recent hypercharged club disruptors, the Diffrent Music founder instead opts for a more measured, and ultimately more hypnotic, approach.

Opener ‘Third Life’ is the most menacing effort, though in the manner of a relentlessly approaching stormfront. All ominous chords and descending scales, it has the air of a classical organ piece, rewired for the 41st century.

‘Swan Filter’ — produced with Iliad (one half of Conduct) — and ‘Letting Go’ offer some respite,via a sleuthy trip-hop joint and some achingly delicate autonomic, respectively.

Together as the ‘Third Life’ EP, they further showcase how Dexta’s versatility and ear of something out of the ordinary are as present in his studio work as they are when A&R-ing.

Out Now 12" w/ Digital

Mrshl & Subtle Mind - When The Rain Comes [Elemental Arts Premiere]

Water churning, time turning, sun burning
Wave crashing, head bashing
Ride, glide, collide
High flying, fish frying
Eye crossing, cookie tossing
Snaking, quaking, booty shaking
Scrolling, controlling, rock ’n’ rolling
Wave Rider.
Lakeway’s new jetting, sweating,  
In your face bass for Diffrent Music.
Strap on that seahorse and ride…

Out 25th September 2020 on digital & limited-edition cassette. Pre-order and get ‘Crystal Waters’ to download instantly.

Lakeway - The Summer Camp Fire Drug Song

Diffrent Music is proud to welcome Type — the UK junglist and MPC jedi master behind the Tube Digga YouTube channel — to the SweetBox family. 

On the A-side, a classic flavour meets a classic sound. ‘Cola Cubes’ is ruffneck jungle business of the highest order; all overdriven, high-octane choppage and gully b-line action that’s guaranteed to cause untold damage in any set.

On the flip, ‘Vibration’ sees Type in murky steppa mode. Leading in with the signature psychedelic time-stretching of the Akai S950, this one delivers the kind of overwhelming bass weight that’ll have your chest rattling into next week. 

Available to pre-order now on digital and as a limited edition 10” lathe cut from the Diffrent Music Bandcamp, digital retailers and record shops. Out 25th October.

Type - Cola Cube

Diffrent Music preps two juxtaposing cuts from label stalwart Fearful in ‘FKD’ / ‘XINF’.

Summing up 2020 in name and sound — though actually produced prior to the current crisis — ’FKD’ brings darkness and danger via urgent beat shifts and shadowy tech contortions. A bouncy step keeps things moving, but this one is all about that distorted b-line tearing through the mix.

‘XINF’ couldn’t be more of a contrast. Playful percussive rolls fill an otherwise sparse beat, while huge swells of low-end and fizzing synth tones combine into an epic, uplifting cerebral crescendo. A classical masterpiece rewired for a hopeful future.

Both tracks hint at old school Diffrent vibes, but applied from a fresh perspective not heard before on the label. Fearful’s ‘FKD’ / ‘XINF’ is out Friday 27th November on digital and limited edition 10” vinyl.

Fearful - FKD

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.
