through the fire though it burns

Now That's What I Call ec2a

@cotto_music's back with a two-track heater for the heads craving that classic hard house energy. "Bring Tha Hard House Back" lives up to its name with a jacking swing that fits in a chunky, disco-infused bassline. A squelchy Korg cuts through the mix, while orchestral stabs and vinyl scratches on the breakdown evoke a legit 90s street brawler video game vibe. On the flip, "Roll On" takes a darker turn, a brooding speed garage number perfect for late-night sets. Follow the driving techno kick to a drop where a manky bassline pulsates beneath flickering electronics. Prepare to get lost in this one.

[DOS-EC2A-01] - COTTO

Nottingham’s very own n4tee brings speedy g and hard house warfare on this double-tracker. First up, “88kru” gives no time to settle, instead packing in enough blasting sound FX to fill up a lazer quest arena. Then, n4tee takes you up to the big boss: a behemoth breakdown with a doom-stricken bassline that knocks the dust off the drums. “Riddim Runnaz” hands over to a thrusting house groove that spools and unspools like a turbine. When you think you’ve got it pegged, the track digs deeper to find a grizzly second drop spawned from the depths of the Earth. A stretched voice in “88kru” declares “you can’t bring me down”, and with this addition to the Digital Only Series, you’ll be on board.

French producer and Rinse France resident Hyas debuts on ec2a with a two-tracker that pioneers EUKG - velvety European garage featuring verses from a duo of MCs from across the channel. “Mit Rauch” taps up Germany’s Vitus04 for some freestyle energy. Whipping percussion and drips of organ lay the foundation for the rapper to launch into breathless flows in the verses, vaulting over each bar like a true lyrical olympian.

Over a bristling frenzy of speedy G hi-hats, Sheffield’s Silva Bumpa comes through with a snotty, disco-flavoured bassline burner on “Automatic.” The drop tumbles down the bar stairs, dusts itself off and does it all over again over a rock-solid swing. Bumpa throws flashes of a disco ball in the mix, as well as a swaggering vocal sample which slows down just enough to make the whole track feel even more nimble. Glamorous and gritty, it’s classic Silva Bumpa tekkers.

With a stacked lineup of trusted names and fresh firepower, All Hands on Deck is a genre-splicing comp that commands everybody on the floor. These 10 tracks rip through styles like a NOS-fueled tour of UK clubs. One minute you’re locked into a jungle breakbeat, the next you’re blindsided by shimmering Eskibeat, or a tense grime fiddle can jump out of the way of a strutting organ lead. Expect the signature ec2a sounds - gusty speedy g and drooping dubstep wubs - but there are nuggets of newness amongst the fray, like Robustt’s sickly acid synthscape, or TEXT’s bittersweet UK bass yearning. It’s a lock-in at the dingiest, smokiest, bassiest club in the world - high metal fences guarding the DJ booth while the dancefloor turns feral.

This EP was inspired by my trip to Lisbon, Portugal. This project is my sonic snapshot of a place that left a lasting impression on me.

Written during a late night creative surge after a trip to Lisbon, Bossa to Musicbox is an reminder of the city’s vibrant after-hours energy. This track bridges ancestral rhythms with hypnotic, driving grooves.

The fast-rising UK DJ-producer Soundbwoy Killah is gearing up to deliver his noteworthy debut album 'Halcyon Daze' via Sneaker Social Club.

Ahead of its release on August 23, Mixmag has secured a premiere of the LP cut 'Wanna Hold U' - a luring, hard-bitten track that "channels the ghost of UK garage with one eye cast back to its US house roots."

Jack Stevens aka Sully has become somewhat of a cult figure in the jungle world with his output being in high demand. His work is unmistakable. It’s always true to it’s origins while simultaneously adding new takes and juxtapositions in palette and composition. A true artist that excels in his field.

Stevens returns to Astrophonica with Swandive, a body of work presented in dual energies - dark & light, body & mind, Yin & Yang. In Werk you’re put to the test physically as es- ki-like percussion stabs grab the attention and demand a response. A staple in Fracture’s DJ sets for the last year or so.

Poison demonstrates a side to Stevens’ production that is harder, meaner, cruder and all together more brutal than he is known for. The result is an infectious mix of venomous bass and corrupted drum breaks fit to kill any dance.

The title track Swandive begins to counterbalance the fierce energy and bring some har- mony opening with calming strings and trademark icy melodies before elevating to an intense state of amen divinity that twists and turns in a story like fashion.

Memories completes the balance with euphoric bass stabs and emotional strings culminat- ing in a searing and conclusive anime-like solo. Some of Stevens’ most daring work. The cycle is complete.

Sully - Swandive (APHA023)

First a party, now a record label, Off Beat (@offbeatsound) tap into a rich vein of British sonic history. Their inaugural release is an embodiment of their love of UK Bass culture and promises a productive future.

London-based Breaka (@breakaleeds) has been making waves since 2018 and shows no sign of slowing down. From his releases on Desert Sound Colony's Holding Hands imprint and the impressive work of his own label, to his contributions to the rambunctious Leeds party Stretchy Dance Supply.

'The Ambush' is full of jungle-inspired sound design. With its 130 bpm think-break drums, drifting birdsong samples and snarling 808s, the track is reminiscent of early Good Looking Records 12"s.
