Next up on Critical Music’s Modulations imprint comes a showcase from one of the most talked about names in UK hybrid bass music right now. Heavily supported by the likes of Kasra, Shy FX, dBridge, Mark Pritchard, Rockwell, DJ Die and many more, Sam Binga talks us through this dance floor fire release in his own words…

"I guess the main idea behind 'AYO!' was to make something crunchy and lo-fi, but still heavy enough for the
floor. I think I was listening to a lot of Timbaland beats around the time I built this one - I've always loved the
massive kicks and weird squashy snares he uses, so I wanted to try something along those lines at DnB speed.
The rest seemed to flow quite organically and Redders brought his usual charisma and animation to the vocal.
Like the man says, everyone knows he mashes up the show…
'Freezy' is a bit more straightforward - something like a tribute to classic bouncing-subs jungle, but with added
southern crunk vibes and a chunky halfstep beat. If I remember rightly, there's a gun being cocked over each
snare, and I brought the hardware sampler out to get the pads and synths sounding suitably 1995."

Mark System - The Earth

J:Kenzo is an artist Metalheadz have long admired and it was only a matter of time before they brought him into the fold for a full EP.
 
Titled 'ZegaFunk', J:Kenzo's 4 track offering was instigated by the 2020 lockdown and fiercely spurred on by Goldie over the course of the year. There is a real classic feel to the EP, so acutely influenced by the sound of 1997 with dystopian pads and groove-laden basslines readily bursting from each track. Innovative dub influences and engaging patterns keep the listener captivated throughout a slick EP with both substantial weight and flavour.

@theuropeancanon returns to Dead Trax with “La Pistola” EP, delivering a razor-sharp, erotically charged suite of four tracks that oscillate between sensuality and aggression, club hedonism and introspective psychodrama. DDTX004 is not just another techno-adjacent oddity—it’s a meticulously sculpted sonic object, balancing Gothic maximalism with the glitched-out intimacy of post-PC music, spread across three original cuts and a deconstructed bass remix by Bristol-born artist @solla-sound.

PRE-ORDER: https://deadtraxuk.bandcamp.com/album/la-pistola-ep-ddtx004

The avant-garde duo European Canon, formed by Uvemaster & DJ Troublesome, are a pivotal yet overlooked act in Spain’s electronic scene. Following their production work with Lil B and Denzel Curry, the Ceuta-born brothers transitioned into electronic music, blending punk elements with forward-thinking electronics through a consistent driving groove, establishing their signature sound.

DDTX004 opens with “Quieres Mirar”, slithering in with the humid breath of a nocturnal encounter. Built around whispered ASMR vocals, warped castañuelas, sub-bass pulses and sighing flanger trails, it channels the sultry tension of the early Modern Love catalogue and the percussion qualities of Night Slugs seen through a rose-tinted lens of digital erotica. 

A sunlit curveball that swaps darkness for euphoria, “See U Today” is an ode to Balearic romance and the golden years of 2000s Ibiza. With shimmering organs, sunset breakbeats and a gently elastic bassline, it tells the story of a fleeting beachside affair—both nostalgic and hopeful, with just enough haze to blur the line between memory and fantasy.

The title track “La Pistola” is the EP’s bullet: an industrial, hyper-digital club weapon that oozes menace and dark humor. Vocals are metallic and androgynous, like an AI seductress corrupted by libido. The metaphor behind “la pistola” is delivered with provocative elegance, backed by corrosive acid lines, obliterated 808s, and splashes of noise. 

The remix by solla takes the original’s firepower and dissolves it into a fog of modular glitches, dubbed-out percussions, and disembodied fragments. Imagine Bristol if it had been built in a fever dream, where organic textures warp and decay in a slow-motion implosion, hinting at dystopia but never fully surrendering to it.

1. European Canon - Quieres Mirar
2. European Canon - See U Today
3. European Canon - La Pistola
4. European Canon - La Pistola (solla Remix)

Circles EP

Mystic State - Circles

Today marks another artist debut on Strictly, Australian producer Ape Suit brings forth his Avalanche EP. 

Some serious blends between half time and techy elements come together perfectly to form that typical signature sound we keep hearing back in Ape Suit's productions. 

These tracks will have you on edge until the moment all elements collapse into the full, expertly constructed grooves.

As a bonus we have the lovely missledz featured as a bonus with her take on the track "Rutting" off of the Avalanche EP. 

We hope you like these tunes as much as we do! 
Take note of the name Ape Suit, you will definitely see it pop up more in the future.

Free download through Hypeddit as usual

Exit Records is at forefront of electronic music, constantly pushing the envelope in terms of aesthetic and execution.
Label owner dBridge strikes a careful balance between releasing music that serves a purpose for dancers and thinkers alike. The roster of artists involved in the label is allowed express themselves as they see fit with only one stipulation; pushing the genre forward.
The Exit Records club nights are typically riotous affairs- they stand as a mix of the most cutting-edge music crossed with a firm eye on the dancefloor, from stages at festivals to residencies at clubs across the world, the events are known to sell out.
As the label enters its 15th year of existence a confidence in sound and direction has come to the fore and this is what cements Exit Records as a go-to label for those inside and out of the genre.
