Rift makes a powerful return on Dispatch Limited with the Black & Gold EP, a five-track collection that marks a fresh chapter in his sound. After stepping back from production to reset his creative direction, Rift channels a rawer approach, drawing on the influence of early 2000s drum & bass while weaving in the tense, atmospheric qualities of cinematic scores. The result is an EP that feels both stripped-back and expansive, balancing heavy pressure with eerie, suspenseful sound design.

The project is also shaped by visual art. The title track, “Black & Gold,” was the first piece written for the EP, sparked by inspiration from Bill Elis’ artwork. The visual tone of his work set the foundation not only for the track itself but also for the identity of the full release.

Across the EP, Rift explores themes of unease and intensity. From the brooding atmospheres of “Teardrops” and “Paralysed” to the rolling momentum of “Tremors” and “Sinners,” the journey culminates in the title track’s stark and cinematic presence. Each cut feels deliberately crafted, reflecting both a reverence for drum & bass history and a forward-focused creative vision.

The Black & Gold EP has already gained strong support across the scene, with Philth playing a central role in championing the tracks both in sets and during the production process. Additional support has come from Enta and Cause4Concern, underlining the impact of Rift’s return.

Alex SLK has brought together several artists to collaborate with for his first official EP to drop on Boey Audio.

Hailing from Riga, the capital of Latvia, Alex SLK has been pushing through the expanse of music so he can be heard for quite some time now. After first discovering drum & bass at the age of eight, he stumbled upon one of his parent’s CDs – one which just happened to be Aphrodite’s self-titled album. His knowledge of the genre began to grow and before long he was pouring over Therapy Sessions mixes, where he was soon influenced by the likes of Technical Itch, Dylan, SPL, Limewax, Robyn Chaos and Audio.

This now translates into the high levels of production which Alex SLK boasts in his own work; the ‘Binary Funk’ is cleverly titled and lets you know what you’re letting yourself in for when you first press the play button. Its title-track features an undertow of funk peppered with rolling sub bass and gritty snares, whilst a heavyweight, beating drum pattern sits underneath and it’s the track’s driving force.

The fifth installment in the Depth series also marks the official induction of Bisity into the fam via a staunch collaborative track titled "Clouded Thoughts". It's available as a Free Promotional Download as part of the release.

Next up, Envydnb joins Alex SLK for ‘Sonar’, a record which follows similar sonic patterns although does this through the merging of two powerful forces. Envy adds the sweeping layers whilst SLK delivers the patches of guttural bass sounds which he’s renowned for across his catalogue. And lastly, Alex SLK adds into the mix Kyst Cortezo for ‘No Tears’. With growling vocals sitting on top of a moody bass rhythm and glowing atmospherics, you’re taken out into the deep but the EP’s final track.

Alex SLK rounds off a stellar collection of tracks and in doing
so proves why Boey Audio brought him into their ranks.

Fighting Fire: Relief for Australia is an initiative to raise money to support fire fighters and the communities affected by the current bushfire crisis in Australia.

The project involved the coordination and release of a collaborative drum and bass LP hosted on Play it Forward.

The money raised will be donated to Red Cross Australia. Red Cross provide psychological first aid (among other support) for those affected by events like severe bushfires.

Mental health is a big topic in the music scene and the psychological impact of a traumatic event such as that in Australia would be undoubtedly devastating.

Donating to the Red Cross will directly assist fire fighters, their families and communities in healing and rebuilding following this devastating time.

Artists involved in the project include Bally & Boom, Creatures, Embr, Equilibr1um, False Relation, Freshney, Handsprime, HD, Incus, Jay Marwaha, Jimi Reborn, KOAX, LoKo, M:FX, missledz, Moose, N-MON1C, Philth, Screamarts, Serpico (Philth & Volatile Cycle), SMP, Sublimit and Transforma.  It's been a pleasure to have them involved and we thank them for their contributions. Mark (Abis) kindly offered to master any tracks that were unmastered, which we are very grateful for.

The full LP is available via the Donate to Download link. Please consider donating to download the release and supporting this important cause.

SIXT017 // B-Origin - Chaos

Drawing audible influences from early noughties techstep, the project’s fierce opener, “Chaos”, is brimming with gravelly bass design, backdropped by a maelstrom of rapid-fire, intricately layered percussive rattles to make for an exhilarating instrumental.
