"Nausika again prove that it isn't necessary to scream to be heard. Quiet, understated and confident space funk . Throwbacks to the early Subtitles sounds with a refined new approach. Three new tracks from Nausika and a fourth track 'War Machine' where the duo team up with rising Russian producer Brain Crisis."

EP release date: 10th August 2015

Nausika - Synthetic

For five years, Santoku has remained a pinnacle within the world of US drum & bass. They’ve delivered various packages of fresh sonic transatlantic, helping to push the genre on not just American soil, but also across the full global market. And this year marks their 5th anniversary, with three releases to celebrate half a decade committed to giving platforms to both newcomers and more refined talent throughout the 174bpm sound spectrum.

Their next LP will be the first stepping stone towards this five-year commemoration, with its namesake hinting at the full albums content. ‘Jutsu’ continues the theme of Santoku, translated from Japanese into ‘technique’ – alluding to the fact that the entire album is comprised of remixes. Included on the LP are previously released tracks which have become a definitive part of the Santoku discography, as well as four brand new reworks from the likes of Gridlok, Myselor, A-Cray and Logam.

Gridlok needs little introduction, and neither does his groove-ridden retake on Mayhem and label head Logam’s ‘All I Do’. It sets a standard for the rest to follow, including the cutting percussion of Amoss’ remix of Mayhem & Logam’s ‘Centuria’ and the punching bass of A-Cray’s ‘Leviathan’ switch up. The mesmerising tribalism of Quadrant & Iris brought into Logam’s ‘Hypnotic’ acts as a release stand out, alongside Nickbee tackling Mayhem & Logam’s ‘Infinity’ with his longstanding, high quality production engineering. Then comes Eatbrain head honcho Jade’s remix of Logam & Mayhem’s ‘Ourboros’, paying homage to its forbearer but also implementing the chaotic atmospherics and crushing mechanics which makes Jade so infamous. Emerging icon Des McMahon’s track ‘The Hawk’ is given a treatment by Mean Teeth, adding another biting dimension to the original. Logam also adds his twist on McMahon’s style, bringing ‘Delirium’ into unfamiliar territories. And finally, Zero T has his minimalistic yet meticulously fashioned features brought into Hajimari’s ‘Analgesic’ and Myselor delivers Mayhem & Logam’s ‘Orion’ through his lens.

Together they encapsulate the five years Santoku has spent dedicating to their artist’s craftsmanship. And it’s a monumental release, one which sets them up to reach a decade of releases – especially whilst dropping music of this calibre.

Taken from my 'Chapter 4' EP, out now on Invisible.

When Nikolay was in Groningen we made this together in a weekend. I still remember our bass faces and jokes like it was yesterday. I think you can hear both of our influences in this one and I'm still really happy with the result. When are you coming to Groningen again NickBee?

Mefjus - Sizzle Fizzle (Circuits Rewire)

You know we had to do it… 

Probably one of the most important, if not THE most important release our label has ever done, The Australian Connection set a mission and set the scene for us moving forward. We got abroad, got a bunch of sick producers and a bunch of sweet tunes, played out, made some mates, and realised that it was pretty cool to use our label to shine a light on national scenes worldwide. 

Following this series was The Belgian Connection, another wicked outing for us and another set of nutty tunes, and we’ve got some cool shit in the pipeline for next year too, that should see us racking up the air miles and in-flight pints, and make us some more mates around the globe too. 

But enough of that, back to the present, and we’re bringing it home, completing the Australian leg of our endless mission to mine the scene for the best new producers, by getting the tunes from our Ozzy mates, and giving them to our UK mates to have a pop at. 

The results, unsurprisingly, speak for themselves; what was already one of our favourite releases gets a makeover, and comes out looking even better than before. Just cop the tracklist and you know it’s gunna be a big one; Klax puts the twist on Lockjaw’s ‘Cells’, Terrence & Phillip get the deep tech treatment at the hands of Objectiv & Klinical, Data 3 mangle Gran Calavera’s neuro-banger ‘Panorama’, and that’s just the start of it. The whole release positively oozes style and stamina, and it’s been great to hear how each producer stamped their unique sound on some already fantastic tracks, this was a super-fun release to oversee, and the finished product will be on rotation for years to come, definitely not one to miss!

Arriving in 2019, his latest EP on his co-founded Fraktal Sound showcasing the young hungarian’s more developed sonical approach.By the age of 23, he has developed a unique approach to music production, focusing on crystal clear drums, heavy hitting yet minimalistic bass arrangements and hypnotizing atmospheres.

Straight outta Groningen NL, Fre4knc’s frequencies are progressive in spirit, techy in nature and dark and dynamic in delivery. Turn on, tune in…

DJ, producer, sound designer, dedicated perfectionist: Bertran van den Hoff has been honing his tense, moody signature since he first fell in love with the dark designs of late 90s tech-driven underground drum & bass. Committed to the dark art of studio-craft for over a decade, and even longer learning the psychology of the dancefloor and the language of mix alchemy as a DJ; he has played across the world from Fabric London to the Great Wall of China via multiple Noisia Invites appearances. He’s also released music on a wide range of respected, agenda-setting imprints such as Flexout, Noisia's Invisible, Dispatch, Critical Music, and Playaz.

Years of deep fine-tuning. Understanding the science of sonics. Really knowing the sound, textures and grooves he wants to bring into the world… All these things and more have led to a consistency and high benchmark in everything he does. This could be one of his ever-growing body of collaborations with Amoss; his recent explorations into techno with The Futurist; any of the high levels of intoxicating, spacious hip-hop influenced halftime in his work; it could even be his dapper moustache… Nothing leaves the Fre4knc laboratory until he knows he’s done himself, the groove and the movement justice. The very same can be said for his DJ sets; dramatic tech narratives that cover the board progressively and dynamically, they probe deep into the three decades of bass culture he’s been entrenched in his entire adult life.

Stay tuned for more frequencies…
