Please welcome to the Time Is Now family one of the scene’s most exciting talents. London-based drum specialist, Bluetoof, brings the heat with a multigenre 4-track EP, featuring a weighty refix from the likes of Manchester badman, and close compadre, Interplanetary Criminal. A multi-faceted EP to keep its listener on their toes. The title track gets things off to a steady start with a minimal bassline and complex percussion, inspired rhythmically by breaks but textured by layers of hollow drums which lend it a more organic sound.

Next up, ‘Perilous’ takes things on a darker, more bottom-heavy turn with a traditional two-step beat and a womping bassline, suited to the club’s early hours. As to be expected, ‘That Got Dark’ continues in the same vein. The focus remains on percussion with a skipping, half-broken rhythm which is interrupted momentarily by breaks overtaken by a stomping 4/4 beat. Finally, enter Time Is Now family member, Interplanetary Criminal, who extends the 4/4 propulsion to create a pacey speed garage banger.

For the 33rd edition of our Member's Mix series, we're delighted to have the OG group member and all round lemon squeezer, DJ Cosworth.

One of the true behind the scenes dons in recent years, his work spearheading the essential Hardline Sounds imprint has helped to carry the torch for darker bass led sounds. Alongside this, he has proved himself as an accomplished producer having recently released a collection of tunes alongside Interplanetary Criminal, with some serious forthcoming solo material in the pipeline. 

We’re thrilled to have Joseph down for the ride as he delivers an hour of UKG.

We're kicking off the Bloc Dubs series, consisting of treats from us and our friends. This one's a 2-step special: First off we've got Loomer as the international guest, coming in from the US with a firm nod to the classic UKG sound. The second track is by Swedish wild card diskotek+apotek boasting a mellow, yet energetic tune for the late night dancefloor. Third comes Stockholm garagehead Toof with a squelchy west-coast stepper before letting Ljudas – representing Swedish MIR Crew – finish things off with some funky flavours.
