I initially uploaded this cover of James Blake's 'Retrograde' at the start of this year on my 25th birthday on another soundcloud profile, after wanting to cover this song for so long! I took it off soundcloud as part of my rebrand and didn't get around to uploading it again although I was meant to lol.

But it's back, after hearing so many lovely things about it from people, in the places where I least expect. Just listening to how much this cover resonated with people really filled with my heart with joy and happiness! I am very proud of what I did with this track, very proud for stepping out of my comfort zone and even into new power as a music creator and artist. Produced, Performed, Mixed & Mastered by me!

Anyway my peoples, enjoy listening to it again! This is for you 🧡

And if James Blakes ever see's or listens to this, mate, I love you 🥺😂

A quick redrum of a very fave instrumental. Always in my mind, sounds a bit heavier now <3

Unexplored tempos and hybrid acoustics are on the menu of Kaval's stellar new EP.

Opening riddim “Bunk Bed” offers 4 minutes of surprise and bounce with the familiar Kaval’s tuned drums, 2nd track “Sorcerer” tries to ward off evil spells with his mutant rhythm while 3rd extract “Sleep Apnea” takes us through a restless sleep at 112bpm. Finally, closing tune “Tooth Fairy” sounds like a fun 2-step beat both for kids & adults.

NORA ZION - CALLING

Going Down

a raw french electro-pop EP with four tracks circling around one idea: forgetting. <3

dark basslines, glittering synths, and sharp beats meet vulnerable French lyrics that cut straight through.
each song feels like a night drive through neon streets... fragments of memories flicker, then fade.
sometimes forgetting hurts, sometimes it feels like freedom, and sometimes it just sounds like a kick drum hitting too hard.

this EP isn’t polished nostalgia! It’s the rough beauty of erasing, moving on, and losing yourself to the music.

The first single taken from the forthcoming Full Circle EP out March 12th on Club Yeke feat Riko Dan, Warrior Queen and Tim Reaper 🤙🏽

Dem Nuh Want It brings together UK bass producer Kouslin coming through with a heavyweight bassline perfectly ridden by legendary UK MC Riko Dan for his take on the Full Circle riddim.

Full Circle is all about rejoining the dots between the huge imprint that the Caribbean has made on Black British identity, and the exciting future that lies ahead.

Dem Nah Want It Ft. Riko Dan

Born and raised in South London, Kadence aka Fiyahdred—formerly known as Bamz—has been a dynamic force in the UK’s electronic music scene. Their musical journey began at the tender age of six with beatboxing, transitioning to music production by ten, influenced by a household resonating with Hip-Hop, R&B, Rare Grooves, Grime, House, and Reggae. 

This deep-rooted connection to rhythm and melody laid the foundation for their signature sound—one that fuses vibrant percussive energy with soulful electronic textures.

In 2011, Fiyahdred left school to fully immerse themselves in music, rapidly gaining a following within the UK funky community through self-released tracks and electrifying Boiler Room sets. After years of non-stop momentum, they took a step back to recharge, explore new sonic ideas, and reconnect with their artistic vision. 

Emerging with renewed purpose and a fresh perspective, they reintroduced themselves as Fiyahdred—a name reflecting both personal and creative evolution.

In 2021, Fiyahdred made their debut on Hyperdub with the release of Anyway, an EP that showcased their ability to blend deep bass, syncopated grooves, and hypnotic melodies into a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. This release marked a significant milestone, positioning them as a key figure in the next wave of UK club music innovators.

Fiyahdred’s music seamlessly bridges the gap between UK funky, house, Afro-electronic sounds, and the rich musical landscapes of the Caribbean. Their productions and high-energy sets carry echoes of the queer house pioneers who laid the foundation for modern dance music, while carving out new sonic territory that honors and evolves the legacy of Black electronic music.

Most recently, Fiyahdred launched Wildfiyah, their own music label, as a platform to support their evolving sound and amplify artists with a shared vision. One of the first projects under this banner is Wildfiyah Presents: Ember - The Extended Mix Series, a deep dive into their influences and creative inspirations. 

With this new venture, Fiyahdred continues to carve out space for innovative and boundary-pushing music, cementing their place as a trailblazer in the electronic music landscape.
