DROOGS013 - Holsten

A. Hidden Figures
AA. Strident

Not content with already laying waste with multiple exhibitions of villainy previously on Droogs and UVB-76, Holsten returns from the depths to inflict more destruction with his latest salvos for Droogs.
“Hidden Figures” blacks out right from the top with insidious pads, phantom force knocks, filthy Reece and a reverberating clock bell that signals the witching hour is upon us.

“Strident” shoots poison darts through the tree line with cascading breakbeats, soundman call outs, more nefarious Reece sweeps and chest out Junglist bravado.

Voidloss - Gentle Chaos (Original Mix)

Chotto Matte (Japanese for "wait a moment") leans into lo-fi drum machine vibe with a raw, unpolished mix. Distorted percussion, thick pads and heavy hats create a dense groove. A mono-style layout and saturated kick give the track a compact, brutalist character. Rude, bassy and rolling.

Kuttin Edge - Chotto Matte (Bandcamp Exclusive)

Plunge into a sleek minimal-drum & bass slice where every beat breathes and each silence counts. “Tell Me” builds on skeletal drums and shimmering atmospherics, inviting you into a soundscape that's subtle but unrelenting. Mindloader’s layering of crisp percussive clicks and soft, drifting pads creates tension that simmers rather than explodes — perfect for those late-night sessions when the dancefloor thins but the energy doesn’t fade. Let the groove take hold, and let the space inside the track echo.
