Premiere: Nectax ‘Swarm Behaviour’

As it's 808 day today I've decided to upload a couple of Fracture & Neptune jams on an 808, loaned to us for a while a few years back. We don't have it now, but we made use of it. 

This is basically us, an 808, a Mackie 2404 and a Lexicon MPX100 getting down.

Fracture & Neptune 114bpm 808 Jam

It was my birthday the day before this show and having collected a couple of atmospheric beats I felt it was time to do a show of it and this is the result. Personally, I love when I do a show like this because they just seem to stir up the emotions when I listen back. Hope it does for you too....

The Jungle Carousel Show #93 Atmospheric Drum & Bass (Jungletrain.net) 9th July 2025

We present a release from maestro FTRRLT (Future Reality) @future_reality

Denis has previously released on the label. The last two parts of our Ultimate Campilation compilation series featured his dancefloor UKG killers "Watch Out" and "Gunshot" (the latter a collaboration with fellow renowned badman Ninety). In 2022, the artist's beautiful release "Gonna Get You" was released on the ec2a. FTRRLT's music has been featured in mixes by Coco Bryce, Riz La Teef, Rareman, and Main Phase.

We've been fans of the musician's work since discovering him in 2020 on SoundCloud. Over the years, Denis's tracks have regularly been featured at our dance parties.

FTRRLT traditionally focuses on jungle, garage, and dubstep, mixed with various facets of electronica. A distinctive feature of the artist's sound is its vintage, reflecting the influence of the golden era of artcore / intelligent jungle and UKG. Denis's music is multilayered – woven from jazz motifs, old-school R&B vocal samples, hypnotic atmospheres, organic percussion, and rich and skillful scratches, it possesses a sensual and melodic quality. The meticulously assembled rhythm section is distinguished by its softness and, together with the voluminous bass, confidently maintains the groove. All this imbues FTRRLT's music with warmth and nostalgia. At the same time, the carefully crafted proportions of badboy intensity and funky rhythms prevent the groove from dissolving into the atmosphere.

The release is named after and dedicated to the eponymous "WHATSGOINGONGUYS?!" group from Simferopol, Crimea, Denis's hometown. Denis, as a selector, was a resident promo artist along with Pauk and Shurekene. The group was active from 2016 to 2021, hosting parties and open-air events across the peninsula. Play the release from the first track and be transported back to a weekend in Simferopol in 2016 with "WHATSGOINGONGUYS?!" posse.

The aesthetics of the 90s, echoes of Simferopol streets, and the golden age of raves are seamlessly woven into the album cover by artist Vadim Sloof.

This release will be a real find for connoisseurs of the soulful side of jungle and UKG.

Mastering: Evgeny Shchukin @fmsao

SCALADE - 20/11/2025

‣ Available here: quartz.bfan.link/interloper

Metalheadz and Quartz present Interloper, a body of work years in the making, and an unfiltered document of evolution, displacement and creative persistence. Originally sparked by an invitation from Goldie in 2018 to deliver multiple releases for the label, the album gradually took on its own identity, absorbing each stage of Quartz’s shifting environments and mindset.

There has always been something quietly disquieting about the music of Quartz, also known as Elliot Garvey. Not in a theatrical sense, but more like a fog that rolls in and never quite lifts. Interloper continues that tension: textured, brooding, and deeply precise. The record doesn’t announce itself; it unfolds slowly, rewarding close attention with meticulous detail and atmosphere.

Garvey’s path has always been unconventional. A Welsh producer uninterested in social media or self-promotion, he has carved out a singular presence within the underground. Respected by veterans and quietly championed by tastemakers, his work sits outside trend or scene. “I’ve always chased that looming tension,” he says. “Something that hits in a way you don’t quite expect.”

Unlike many concept-driven projects, Interloper emerged organically, over years of work alongside his other releases. “I realised I’d been holding onto this idea that albums needed a narrative,” Garvey explains. “Once I let that go, it became a diary, a reflection of refining my craft and finding the music I truly love.”

Sonically, the record resists easy classification. Distorted textures, intricate sound design, and subtle sampling weave through each track, balancing grit and clarity. Despite its variety, a single thread runs throughout: a tension that feels both ominous and euphoric. That restless curiosity defines the album, from the stark propulsion of Ganzfeld to the layered atmospherics of Skeng.

Growing up in Cardiff, far from London’s pirate radio hubs, Garvey developed in isolation, guided by instinct. Record shops were classrooms, and intuition was the only teacher. “I had to work out what hit me,” he recalls. “No tutorials, no shortcuts, just listening and learning.” That independence shaped a sound that is club-ready but unconstrained, detailed yet raw.

The title Interloper reflects Garvey’s position within the culture: present but never fully belonging. It is both an inside joke and a quiet statement, a nod to the artist who exists in the shadows, shaping the scene without demanding its spotlight.

In a world driven by visibility, Garvey’s silence is deliberate. He allows the music to speak for itself, building a reputation on substance over persona. “If I was going to make an impact, it had to be through the strength of the music,” he says.

Interloper stands as both culmination and continuation, intense without theatrics, brooding without ego, and deeply personal while remaining universal. It is a record that lingers, its impact growing long after the final note fades.

“Really, it’s just about doing the work,” Garvey says. “You show up, make something honest, and let it run.” In a landscape obsessed with immediacy, Interloper is quiet defiance, a record that doesn’t ask to be seen, only to be felt.

As a producer, DJ and label owner Charlie Fieber continues to be an important figure in the development and innovation of UK electronic music genres with a career spanning over two decades. As Fracture, Fieber’s output is prolific and never stands still. From the hyper sped up Techno sound of Turbo to the genre blending Footwork Jungle collaborations with Teklife regulars DJ Earl, DJ Spinn and DJ Taso. He is constantly experimenting and flipping the script and 2022 saw the release of the world building Ambient Electro album Omura with Sam Binga. Releases and affiliations have come from some of the UK’s legendary hardcore continuum labels such as Goldie’s Metalheadz, dBridge’s Exit records, where in 2016 Fieber was part of the mysterious Richie Brains supergroup with fellow experimenters Alix Perez, Chimpo, Fixate, Om Unit, Sam Binga and Stray, and more recently with Alix Perez’s 1985 which saw the curveball collaboration with Kenyan artist Nah Eeto. Fieber’s latest work is his most ambitious to date; '0860’ is an album, radio station and interview series that explores the history and legacy of Pirate Radio and its importance in the development of UK underground music.
As a DJ his sound has travelled with appearances on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Boiler Room, Fact Mag, Rinse FM, Keep Hush and multiple US, EU, UK and Asia tours. 
In 2009 the label, Astrophonica, was set up as an output for his own music with Neptune and has since become a home for other like minded and experimental artists such as Sully, Client_03 and Moresounds. Fieber’s impeccable A&R has led to a flawless and in demand back catalogue championed from Annie Mac to Sherelle and with multiple nominations in DJ Mag’s Best Of British awards.
