A somatic and sonic journey into Red Sprites.
Ecstatic to share my depiction of these through the medium of music
Leading up to the release I asked the question, apart from their general allure as a fascinating, powerful phenomenon, how do I relate with these as beings?

Well when you look at the structure you notice their dendritic electrical formations are not so dissimilar from the formations of the root structures of plants. And in turn, also dissimilar to that of the structure of our own body's neural pathways.
These Sprites fall under the umbrella of a 'Transient, Luminous Event'
I find that we, as humans, as sentient beings, experience transient luminosity all the time.
Whether it be through momentous spikes of inspiration, when we lock into a topic or task, our brains may be lighting up in that same way, that same flashing ionic reaction which causes us to scintillate into excitatory experience.
The nature of transience being subject to whatever stretch of time we compare it to. With this in mind, our very lives as a whole could be considered 'Transient, luminous events'. Where the luminosity projects inward and outward as soon as we animate into this world.

TLDR: above so below etc etc we are the red sprites of the ground level of earth so big up yaself ya mad jesus

Enjoy <3

BLOCKLAB is a duo of experienced producers from Krasnoyarsk, Vasily aka WASTA and Stas aka Sector.13. The guys joined forces in the fall of 2022 and have already gained recognition from genre enthusiasts worldwide. They have previously released on the acclaimed UK label White Peach, creating a solid following of club & sound system DJ's, radio hosts and fans

BLOCKLAB's concept, both as a project and in their compositions, lies in the idea that a single track explores entirely different moods, unfolding like a short film over 3-4 minutes. Their tracks are written in various vibes and emotional tones. This EP also features TRAKA, musicians based in Florida and Montenegro, as well as Nikita Oddkut.

SYSTEM is their latest offering, this time for System 108, known for multi-genre release strategy with fun in its cultural vision. Twisted 4-tracker, full of bass, cinematic drops produces a perfect playground for fans of heavy-rhythm workout.

Dirty Beats w/ Digital Selekta - 20th March 2025

Your eyes

it's been a minute since I put out some tunes! Going to work on sharing some of the flips/edits/dubs that I've been playing out for a bit.

LEMONADE is the first track I heard from SOPHIE back in 2015. Her tunes continue to blow my mind, and I'm grateful for having come across her catalog of genre-defying, boundary pushing music. Hope you dig this 160 experimental take on an underground classic.

On this weeks episode of TBDNBS, host Anubis has newly formed SEQ Collective "Subversive Sound" take over the airwaves! Founded by Creatune, Komodo & Anubis out of a passion for underground bass music and sound system culture, the collective aims to push the sound they know and love within both the club & outdoor music scene. With a steezy 90 minute mix + an interview talking a little bit about themselves and the collective, what better way for the boys to make their introduction!

Alex Tuz - Insertion [Iparallels Records]

I saw an angel cry.

Concrete Nights is a dark, pulsating journey into the heart of the city after midnight — where concrete breathes bass and neon lights reflect off the dancefloor. The album captures the raw energy of underground clubs, blending deep sub-frequencies, industrial rhythms, and hypnotic textures that pull the listener deeper into the night.

This is a sound narrative of warehouses, basement venues, and sleepless hours between darkness and dawn. Concrete Nights isn’t background music — it’s built for heavy sound systems, shadow-filled rooms, and movement without thought. Each track escalates the tension and drive until time dissolves and only rhythm remains.

Fusing techno, industrial, and dark club elements, the album delivers a gritty, urban atmosphere for those who live after hours and feel the bass through their bones. 🌃🔊

Drum and Bass producer from Bellingen, Australia. I specialize in melodic, deep, ethereal dnb. Crafting a careful coalescence between masculine and feminine energy. World building, story, and continuity are all important to me in music. I also like to play subtly with psychedelic or glitchy elements with my sound design. Aiming to create a blend of mystical and sentimental bass adventures that leave a lasting impression
