In this accompanying mix, @kiddyondebeat, a 25-year-old amapiano artist with production credits with the likes of DBN Gogo and Mr JazziQ, showcases the sound of “private school” amapiano — a subgenre that combines soulful melodies, jazz chord progressions, smooth basslines and a “clap and tap” rhythmic pulse.

Moving away from her early inspirations of Chicago house and disco, @manami-b is now dedicating her sound to the dark and murky depths of bass

"I haven’t put out a mix in a really long time, and this is the first mix under the rebranded sound. I’ve been playing bass-driven music for longer than I’ve been making it, but this is the first mix exclusively [dedicated] to it. It felt amazing; it was so fun to put together.

I wanted to execute a feeling of a loss of control, as if descending into an abyss-like place and being spat out the other side, using club music that explores the sub-realms. Musically, this mix truly represents where I'm at right now, particularly with my DJing."

Brussels' contemporary techno specialist @phara-6 gears up for his sixth release on his Phaaar imprint: 'How High Can Pigeons Fly'; a dithering expedition through breakneck techno, cavernous EBM and spine-tingling electro. 

'Beetham Tower' sees the FUSE resident ply a decadent myriad of percussion across a mind-bending bassline, with its title referencing Manchester's 47-storey skyscraper — a futuristic-yet-dystopian structure that can be seen from all vantage points across the city.
