Dont Talk

After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.

So we are speechless about this mix by Driftwood. He is presenting by himself.’

“I’ve decided to release my SPRING PROMO MIX 2020 through Infinite Sequence who approached me a couple months ago and I’m very excited to say its a heavy one this time, unlike my Footwork Mix from last month (a showcase of my favorite things happening in the genre) this new mix is meant to feature my original releases and the forthcoming music i’m sitting on bolstered by an absolutely overwhelming collection of dubplates i’ve gathered from friends, with a few nods to the cutting edge stuff charting recently too! suffice it to say this tracklist is very exciting and as always im eager share it with everyone! Hope you Dig It!!”

Bottoms up into autumn with LiT MIX 020 from Calgary’s Dooshima D Big Kitty! This set is a high-energy heater at 130 bpm, libra-liciously dancing across the Black Atlantic musical diaspora of afrobeats, uk funky, bassline and garage house. She’s serving us the savvy selections of a Polaris Music Prize grand juror, mixed with the soul and skill of a Director at SheDJsYYC, where she offers DJ mentorship and workshops for women in Western Canada. 

You can hear the instrumental of D Big Kitty’s recent debut single with Teafannie, Ladies of the Dance, mixed in here with Mina & Bryte’s “One Leg”, and it’s great to hear new made-in-Canada afrobeats hold their own with contemporary African anthems by producers like Gafacci, Moris Beat, Citizen Boy, Pl4net Dust and Boddhi Satva. 
 
This set is straight up banger after banger and doesn’t let up with spontaneity and stamina. D Big Kitty is on her own next level throwing in heady UK body music by producers like Throwing Snow and Scratchclart, big room Canadian house like Neon Steve and Egyptrixx, and the list of vocalists featured throughout is epic including Magugu, Badi, Lady Lykez, Sweetie Irie, TT The Artist, Davido, Movado, Fox, Mr. Eazi, Bunji Garlin and Stylo G… even Ultra Naté! Yes, this is the set we’ve always dreamed of that includes both classic Strictly Rhythm soulful house and Beyonce’s Lion King soundtrack. Sheep don’t run with lions, and we can’t not dance to D Big Kitty!

She’s affiliated with an inspiring alignment of Calgary collectives championing women, LGBTQ and BIPOC culture including Tigerstyle DJs, Big Kitty Crew, Afros In The City, Umoja Sessions, and Pink Flamingo YYC. She wears protective swag from her own lifestyle brand SheSoShaded while speaking out and organizing in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. We stan for all of this. D Big Kitty is more than an influencer, she is a leader worth following:
