Since their first release for Dispatch in 2019, Genic have gone from strength to strength. With multiple releases and features for Dispatch alongside releases for Sauce Recordings, Sofa Sound and Dutty Audio, the Genic sound continues to evolve.

Two years since their debut album "Rough Nights", the full-length follow-up reflects their growth as artists and reinforces their unique take on the genre. Their sophomore LP, "Process" is packed with filtered funk and that classic Genic sound, but also reveals a deeper, more melodic side to their production.

Process LP

Genic - Unforgiven

Juho Kavasto and Sainey Gibba are back to remind you of their production prowess, with their first slice of new music since 2022! Having taken a bit of a welcome break from production after the release of their debut album ‘Simulations’ back in 2021, the pair return with a re-energised approach and a recognisable, yet pleasing sound palate to paint the aural canvas of 2024 anew. 

Reworking ‘Jola Dub’ taken from their aforementioned debut LP ‘Simulations’ - the VIP brings back the Gambian tribal vibes once again but this time with a more familiar, DJ friendly drum pattern. Big, chunky bass textures meet shimmering synths in an energetic collision ready to tear up your local discotheque. 

Come and partake in this re-imagining of the Gambian inspired original, not to be missed, available in all good stores from Friday the 23rd of February.

Words Don't Matter EP

EastColors - Dubby

Lifestyle Music have been asserting themselves as one of the most game-changing independent imprints to come through in recent years. Their continuous stream of releases, as well as the platform that they’ve offered to newcomer artists, has enabled them to establish themselves alongside some of the drum & bass world’s most established labels. Their underground, finely polished cuts and the artists who’ve spent time in the studio creating them have ensured that they’re ahead of the game, pushing past their counterparts to pedestal music from across the spectrum of dance music that they’ve committed to. 

For their forthcoming release, they’ve brought duo Volatile Cycle into the fold; the second edition of their ‘Volatile Cycle & Friends’ EP delivers four cut-throat anthems which are sure to put both Volatile Cycle and their featuring artists into the clubsphere’s forefront. Vowel comes through first with the effortlessly-tech driven record ‘Dispersed’, pulled forward by his crashing drum sequences and swathes of clattering percussion. Volatile Cycle show their eye for indentifying upcoming talent through ‘Dispersed’, one more reason why they’ve become such a defining part of the Lifestyle Music roster. Wingz joins Volatile Cycle for ‘Time’s Up’, with its moody levels of bass and creeping atmospherics. An apt track for the darker months, ‘Time’s Up’ brings a brooding production standard and an intimidating technicality – the type which has become a standard for Lifestyle and their back catalogue. 

Long-time collaborator Barbarix jumps on board alongside Volatile Cycle for ‘Trauma’, a hectic journey which utilises crunching LFOs and gradually builds segment after segment. Then finally, London-based Philth offers up ‘Nowhere’, merging his minimalist, rolling style amongst Volatile Cycle’s chaotic signature. With four brand new tracks about to be released on Lifestyle, given a platform by an imperative part of their team, the label is entering the latter half of 2018 as strong as ever... another reason why they’re becoming tastemakers within the underground world of drum & bass. 

Streaming and Beatport Exclusive Release October 22nd / Worldwide Release 5th November
