Dev/Null - DARK FOURS [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
https://youtu.be/7t3D0DCUrnE

This November, American cult hero Dev/Null debuts on Trickfinger & Aura T-09's Evar Records with MICROJUNGLIZM, an 8-track album that explores the power and beauty of darkcore, jungle tekno and breakbeat rave. Chopped drums, hairpin turns and alluringly emotional pads open up a time portal between the past and the future, decorated with haunting samples and musical Easter eggs that show off Boston-based Dev/Null's deep history as a rave historian and scholar.

MICROJUNGLIZM's fantasy suite was written over the last year, arranged and sequenced entirely without a computer. Dev/Null fell in love with Teenage Engineering's PO-33 Pocket Operator – a portable, pocket-sized sequencer that he started using during his DJ sets to create special versions on the fly. The limitations of making entire tracks inside the PO-33 immediately suggested the sampling techniques and stylistic hallmarks of early jungle, already one of Pete's longtime obsessions.

"The PO-33 has some of the same low-fi sonic charm as retro gear used back in the day," Pete explains. "8-bit samples, 11khz mono sound, kind of like an Amiga computer. It's been really fun and exciting to have my own tracks to throw into sets – even if they're raw, unfinished 3-minute things which get played once and never again. A few of these tunes were done for my sets at parties thrown by Aura T-09 in L.A., so I'm happy they're coming out on her label."

While these tracks may seem maximal, they are minimal to Pete's ear – a departure from the intricately sliced and information-dense breakcore for which he's known. The album emotionally bottles the essence of a bygone era with an individual palette of influences, from UK grime anthems to Italian horror soundtracks. Pete is not merely trying to tap into the cultural zeitgeist for all things jungle and breakbeat rave – he's already been here, stoking the fires of this scene since the early 2000s with his tastemaker blog (Blog to the Old Skool), his cult vinyl reissue label 8205 Recordings, and his deep dive radio shows: Demon Poetry on NTS and BTTO (with new-era jungle torchbearer Tim Reaper) on Jungletrain.net. MICROJUNGLIZM itself follows on from the momentum created by Pocket Selector, Dev/Null's 2020 outing with the PO-33 on the Modern Urban Jazz label, run by veteran UK drum 'n' bass producer Justice.

MICROJUNGLIZM is available NOVEMBER 19th, on Evar Records via digital download and 12" vinyl. Check out these amazing breakbeat meditations from a modern master of the style.

After releasing his first single In Orbit in 2020, Irish producer Lukeozade returns with his debut EP, Moral Mirage; more rhythmically complex and heavier than the transcendent, minimal/deep house sounds of In Orbit. 

In Moral Mirage a fusion of genres can be heard. The EP transports the listener, aurally moving them east to west as the music departs from The Ney Track and transitions towards western club sounds. The ney flute and North African rhythms are replaced with off-beat Hi Hats and playful basslines. 

Lukeozade continues to explore his love for sound design and unique sounding electronic music, paying tribute to his influences on the way.

Anonym joins the Dream Schemes label for our 9th release. We first came across Anonym after hearing some tracks from his Eternalism release, and featuring them in our radio show earlier in the year.

A side - Pure Energy - is a fun and bouncy track that feels like it is bridging a gap between jungle and electronica. This one features nice break work, drips of percussion and dreamy arpeggios, all wrapped up in an electronica leaning blanket that feels soft and warm.

B side - Unveiling Protocol - slowly builds up a backdrop of atmospherics before bringing in the breaks and rolling out - taking the listener on a journey through lovely string melodies that rise and fall over the top of subtle movements that keep the track flowing.
