KOSMOS191DGTL Ritual X "Katana EP" (preview)

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with Cities: Episode 5, the latest installment in our ongoing series spotlighting international Drum and Bass talent and the diverse sonic flavours they bring from their corners of the globe.
 
This fifth chapter sees the return of The Maniatics to Dirtbox, the explosive trio from Seville, Spain, who deliver a blistering crunchy Neuro roller that embodies their raw, high energy sound.

Known for their unrelenting style and innovative production, The Maniatics once again deliver a track destined to tear up dancefloors.

Joining them is Diode, hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. A now-regular name on the Dirtbox roster. Diode continues to carve out his place in the Dirtbox legacy, showcasing his signature blend of gritty textures and razor-sharp grooves that perfectly complement the Cities ethos.

The Cities series has already featured heavy hitters such as Slaine (Birmingham, UK), Lee UHF (Sheffield, UK), Erbass (Sao Paulo, Brazil), and ESKR (Albuquerque, New Mexico) each artist bringing their unique take on Drum and Bass and representing their hometowns with pride.

With future episodes already in the pipeline, fans can look forward to upcoming showcases from places like Bedford, UK, The Colony, Texas, and St. Petersburg, Russia. The Dirtbox vision for Cities is simple: unite the global DnB community and highlight the sounds shaping our scene, one city at a time.

1/ Maniatics- “Dont Look In The Mirror”

"Don't Look in the Mirror" is a mind-bending journey into the darker side of Neuro rollers.

Opening with an eerie, tension-soaked intro and a massive drum build, the track wastes no time setting a cinematic tone before dropping into its haunting title vocal sample.

From there, it launches headfirst into a filthy, chugging bassline layered with trippy textures, pitch-bent madness, and twisted reverse bass stabs that keep the listener off balance.

The breakdown offers no real relief, just a moment to catch your breath before Maniatics unleash a second drop packed with relentless kick-driven rhythm, razor-sharp percussion, and unpredictable structure. 

It’s chaotic, warped, and brilliantly executed, pure dancefloor destruction.

2/ Diode- “Europa”

"Europa" sees Diode at his devastating best, delivering a relentless Neurofunk weapon packed with energy and atmosphere.

The track opens with haunting vocal samples and sharp stab synths that immediately set a chilling, horror-inspired tone.

As the tension builds, it erupts into a full-throttle drop, a surge of adrenaline powered by snarling basslines and razor-edged drums. The midsection keeps the suspense high, returning to eerie vocals and cinematic stabs before launching back into the chaos for a second round.

It’s a massive neuro banger with serious dancefloor impact, executed with Diode’s unmistakable precision.
