BrandNewTrumpets returns to Diffrent with the 'You' EP — four sublime cuts that journey between her expansive style and club-geared drum workouts.
While previous efforts have seen BrandNewTrumpets weave narratives about other people and their struggles into her work, the ‘You’ EP tells the story of her own production evolution. The release finds the Croydon artist challenging herself with new techniques to push her artistry to new heights.

Opening on ‘This Is For You’, a gorgeous eight-minute love letter to her partner, the EP immediately showcases BrandNewTrumpets’ desire to indulge herself in making beautiful and deeply personal music.
‘Changed For You’ sees her turn towards the dancefloor — a reflection of her development as a DJ — delivering punchy, propulsive bass and tough drum work without losing any of the cinematic wonder she’s become known for.
‘To You’ continues down the club-ready route, but leans into the kind of cosmic rolling sound of labels like Good Looking Records and Soul:r.
And final track ‘Only You’ sees BrandNewTrumpets’ vocals — which are present throughout the EP — layered in unfathomable numbers to create a magnificently lush world for her spritely percussion to play in.

It’s another incredible effort that further solidifies BrandNewTrumpets’ epic signature sound, while showcasing just how far she’s come over the past five years.

BrandNewTrumpets - You EP

Jungle-DnB

SPEED

EL PATROL SELECTION - el futurismo 002

Deliciously seasoned with a more than a little kick!

Following up his 2020 debut, TYPE returns to SweetBox with two fiery jungle cuts built on his Akai MPC X.

Known as the MPC Jedi, TYPE is the tech wiz behind the Tubedigga YouTube channel, where he serves up music production and sound design tutorials from his hoard of MPCs and other vintage and modern tech. As a hardware devotee, he performs live on MPC rather than DJing, and it was during one of these live sets, for the launch of his previous SweetBox EP in 2020, that Dexta and the Diffrent crew first heard ‘Cherry Bomb’ and ‘Eclipse’ and immediately snapped them up.

‘Cherry Bomb’ is a quintessential junglist workout, pushing a combination of four sampled and homemade breaks to their limits over an otherworldly sound bed. With kicks that land like a mortar strike and the explosive militancy of a supercharged drill sergeant, this one’s ideal for peak-time switch-ups and ready to send any dancefloor into a frenzy.

‘Eclipse’ shuffles and steps with the South London producer’s signature precision, though the percussion takes something of a backseat this time. Front and centre instead are an array of monstrous technoid rasps, elasticated subs and an LFO-esque, earworm bleep repurposed from TYPE’s days as a video game sound designer. This is heavyweight business screaming out for a dark room and a big rig.

Pre-order is live now ahead of release on digital and limited-edition 10” vinyl with hand-numbered, screen-printed sleeves on 25th March.

Early support from Ray Keith, Paradox, dBridge, Double O, Kode9, Jossy Mitsu, Tom Ravenscroft, Jossy Mitsu, Danielle, Breaka, Sherry S, Yushh, Laksa, Ciel, Peder Mannerfelt & many more.

TYPE - Cherry Bomb / Eclipse

And now for something completely different. Following Sofa’s no-nonsense jungle adventure, we now have something so utterly nonsensical and ridiculous it will either enrage or delight you. Please welcome gladde paling. 

The smoothest eel this side of the Scheldt, part merrymaker, part mad scientist, gladde paling has been tickling fans silly with his intense two minute hype bullets for exactly a year. Launching last July, his signature is based in finding daft, surreal and plain stupid samples and flipping them into meme-ified missives that flex between jump-up, hardcore and hard dance. 

Literally anything is fair game to this young talent. From the announcement sound on a Dutch Intercity Sprinter to sounds of chickens, sirens, strange spoken vocals, his own Instagram followers and cult theme tunes anyone who grew up outside of The Netherlands will have no clue about.   

Sitting on the fence is impossible. You will either love or hate it. But no one can deny the freshness gladde paling offers amid a sea of identikit dark rollers and emo copies right now. As he says himself in this interview, people don’t go to a rave... so why be serious?

Remember Your Roots - Dom & Roland

This latest 1 More Mix is brought to you by the cutting-edge sounds of Crypticz. 

Hailing from punk and a Prodigy-loving family, his interest in electronic music has taken him on a sonically varying journey which shows no sign of letting up any time soon. 

We recently spoke to Crypticz, who established himself at Diffrent Music, a label that’s been at the forefront of pioneering electronic sound since 2010. 

These progressive sounds are showcased in their latest album Revolution Of The Giraffe, which features tracks by label veterans like Arkaik, Lakeway and Crypticz himself. 

A lover of vinyl records and a wide range in music taste, Jordan Parsons’ Crypticz project has been in a state of flux lately. Having not played to a live crowd for a year now, the Bristol-based artist believes a self-indulgent approach to his music has seen a decline in club bookings but his recent return to the recently resurrected SWU radio station means he’s back on the airwaves regularly shelling out leftfield bangers. Bangers like THESE. 

Find out more about Jordan's music journey over on 1 More Thing: https://1-more-thing.co.uk/audio/1-more-mix-073-crypticz/

Nucleus & Paradox have always been a worthy pairing and their next release for Metalheadz, which is split into 2 parts, once again proves it. Their 2005 single on the label is switched up across both parts, with ’12 Bits’ getting a Mako remix whilst the duo themselves present a new take on ‘Aragon’, bringing a fresh spark to the original.

The two remaining tracks on the EP are originals, with both showcasing exquisite breaks and twisted basslines throughout. Artwork from Vodker completes the ‘Wrath EP’ package.

To mark an end of an era I thought i'd give away a track that was written in my studio I'm currently packing down.

Post from insta:

So today is the day I say goodbye to my studio room. Although this isn’t the best looking or acoustically treated room, it’s served me well as a little studio for the past 13 years. I’ve written everything from Blue Eyes, Marka, Imperial, Chain Reaction to my debut LP Enjoy This Trip, right up to the music I’m releasing today in here. It’s seen collaborations with legends, seen me in good and bad moods so as you can imagine I’m feeling pretty emotional having to say goodbye today. I’ve made some amazing memories in here.
I just wanted to thank everyone whose supported my music throughout my career so far as this is the room it’s all been written in.
As a little leaving present I though it would be nice to give a tune away for free as a little thank you to you all for the continued support. The track I’ve decided to give away is ‘8am to 1am’ as I remember it being a great session and that’s literally the time it took me to write it. You can download via my bandcamp. Ash x
