Siren Song (VINYL RIP)

Hailing from Poznan, Poland and leading the legendary DrumObsession crew, Locked Concept welcomes Alegria for his debut on the label.

Alegria was first approached for a release on Locked Concept following his debut EP - ’Petrograd’ on Akuratyde's Modern Conveniences. Although this wasn't the first time Lockjaw and Tellus had heard of Alegria, with the two label co-founders coincidentally seeing him DJ, supporting Kid Drama at one of the DrumObsession events in Poznan, way back in 2015.

Fast forward to 2024, Alegria delivers his forward-thinking ’Aurora Borealis’ EP. With different Poznan-based artists collaborating on three of the four tracks, the release stands as a sonically diverse contribution to the Locked Concept catalogue.

The title track - a joint effort with Tellus - kicked the entire effort off in the blissed out Autonomic style both artists love. Ewski, who used to be part of a legendary dubstep collective (Dungeon Beats), also found common ground with Alegria on ’The Healer’, which is the smoothest, and most delicate piece on the EP. ’Terra Incognita’ with Istota, who used to run a short-lived albeit stellar experimental drum & bass label Black Crane, is a 130 bpm bass-driven electro / breakbeat hybrid. Finally Voitek Noir joins Alegria on ’Englishman’ in a beautiful 80s-inspired Autonomic storytelling piece for the patient listener (wait for that second drop!).

They say good things come to those who wait and we’re glad Alegria and his friends took the time in crafting this EP.

Aurora Borealis

A. Alegria & Tellus - Aurora Borealis

Collective Unconscious’ is a collab between 7 producers, emerging from Bop’s Patreon community project. Samples tossed into a shared folder became the raw materials for a track that feels both spontaneous and meticulously crafted — an abstract conversation between artists, transformed into a singular experience.
Now, with brilliant artwork by @lenabeobjects, it’s here on Microfunk — ready to let your mind wander.

Lost in Deep Vol.2 with Zeb Samuels [Free Download]

This has been described as Shelflife for Calibre's
120-140 material. If you know the means, methods and magic of Dominic Martin, you'll already have this in your basket. But in case you need a little extra info or new to the abyssal vaults of Calibre, the Shelflife series is a regular collection of projects and unreleased material he's made over the years. While best known for his dnb, his house, techno and dub material is just as prolific, deep and mesmerising. As is the case here as we range from steppy, curmudgeonly techno ("Front Loader') to funky electro style breaks ('The Saki') to bumping shufflesome house ('Ukrained') to vast spacious dub ('Come With Me') Complete with many other deep and reflective shades between, this is yet another fantastic body of work from one of electronic music's most unique and revered artists

The Pleasure District label returns for the its fifth release, the stable  was previously home to Heart Drive aka dBridge and Kid Drama but the gates have been opened for Fracture and vocalist Lucie La Mode, with one collaboration with the aforementioned Kid Drama. The release opens with Remember The Time Feat Lucie La Mode, the track itself is reminiscent of a soundtrack work by Vangelis whilst La Mode’s vocal adds a warmth to proceedings. The second track is a collab with Kid Drama and marries some very disparate elements in the vein of previous Pleasure District releases, keeping the musical pallette open and yet achieving cohesion at the same time.

Fresh from a series of artist-led 12"s, Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label returns with 'Dark Matter', its first compilation since 2017's 'Cosmology Selections'. Collected in a triple vinyl LP / digital formats, the release offers a fresh snapshot of the exciting possibilities and experiments happening at the intersection of hip-hop, jungle and bass music; a hybrid sound the label has pioneered since its first release eight years ago.

Across 14 tracks, 'Dark Matter' showcases Cosmic Bridge's growing global roster of artists: Moresounds, Danny Scrilla, Proc Fiskal, Margari's Kid, Oliver Yorke, J:Kenzo, TMSV, vromm, alongside new faces Samba and Rude Operator, and perennial favorites Es.tereo, Synkro and Djrum, the latter two in collaboration with label head Om Unit.

Stylistically the compilation covers a broad range, and gives listeners the space to digest it all with a running time of 75 minutes. There are stripped-down, meditative rollers such as TMSV's flute-led 'Ominous', the bass hypnosis of Danny Scrilla's 'Sacred Waters', and Samba's snappy, booming remix of Om Unit's 'The Lake'. The timeless energy of jungle is channeled in Proc Fiskal's 'Death', a percussive, bouncy number, while Moresounds plays with filters (and your mind) as he refines a less-is-more take of classic themes on 'Watating'. J:Kenzo highlights the music's Jamaican roots on 'Dub For Bashenga'; a tough, pounding cut that goes straight for the chest and which finds its counterpoint in Rude Operator's 'Broken Sky'.

For those who like more expansive, cinematic approaches there are epic waves of drums, slick editing and euphoria in Es.tereo's 'Floating Point' and Vromm's 'Decentralized', while Oliver Yorke's 'Treasured' and Margari's Kid's 'Challenger' squeeze soul from colder sound palettes and tight breakbeats.

Om Unit's two collaborations, 'Reflections' with Synkro and 'Ruins' with Djrum, reflect the compilation's ambitions and breadth. The former is a delicate, uplifting roller that sets you up for the dark rumblings, freeform stylings and frenetic rhythms of the latter. The compilation ends with a track that arguably stands tall on its own, Crypticz's 'Chrysalis' feat. Amy Kisnorbo; an 11-minute epic that plays out like a love letter to the magic of breakbeat science, dub technology and human creativity.

Dark Matter is a finely crafted statement of intent from Cosmic Bridge and Om Unit, shunning easy self-congratulation for a dive into the musical potentials and connections of a sound that is now an established part of the global bass music vocabulary.

Reflections

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.
