Hello!

Here’s a free download of a song that I recently wrote with my long-time collaborative buddy, UFO! and a couple of really great producers from Spain, Beauty Brain.

Beauty Brain has been on our radar for quite some time now. They approached us with a rough idea for a song, and we thought it was great, so that’s where this started. UFO! and I had been playing their music in our DJ sets for a while, and it made sense to try and get a collaboration wrapped up with them.

This is the first in what hopefully becomes a lengthy string of collaborations between myself, UFO! and other artists. We plan on releasing them as we complete them. As of now, we have about 4 or 5 more in the works. We contemplated releasing them all together, but we think that people would prefer to just get the tunes as they’re completed, so here you go!

We hope you enjoy this one. It’s kind of strange, with a healthy dose of thump. 

’Til next time!

Nick / Bro Safari

Artificial Intelligence - Forgotten Truths ft. Steo (Deft's '15 Remix)

HAVELOCK ‘Chamber’ EP
Release Date: 16th February 2018
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN008

Having thus far mainly featured as a guest on music released by long time supporters Ivy Lab, the Chamber E.P marks the first solo excursion for 28 year old Nick Jackson a.k.a Havelock; arriving via the same 20/20 LDN imprint that housed all of his collaborative work.

Featuring a span of BPM’s and aesthetics ranging from knocking 808’s to papal-inspired Jungle; the project makes for a relentlessly bleak and unsettling listen - featuring guest appearances from 20/20 mainstay Deft on the track “Chimes”, and Bristol-based instrumental grime producer Hi5Ghost with his remix of “Graphics”.

Born and bred in London, Havelock has been quietly honing his production for almost a decade, branching out from his initial explorations in minimal drum and bass into territory closer in complexion to noise-scene abstractions and alt-hip hop.

Having cut his teeth DJing in clubs and bars during his stints in Amsterdam and Leeds, he went on to found the Buried Audio record label, responsible for releasing music from acts who would go on to become celebrated actors in the bass music landscape. Sitting in the same lane as a small cohort of pioneering outfits such as Darkestral & Exit Records, Buried audio went onto release some of the earliest works from artists such as June Miller (Ram Records) & Nick Modern (Metalheadz/Tempa)

It was only after wrapping up Buried Audio and returning to London that the Havelock alias was born; his focus turned to producing music that encapsulated an increasingly far-reaching taste in obscure underground electronica. Drawing on influences from ambient, metal and abstract hip hop, his sound is loosely engineered by design and paints bleak landscapes with a tangible rawness and innocence.

Tracklist:
1. Graphics
2. Chamber
3. Chimes (with Deft)
4. Fiction
5. Graphics (Hi5Ghost Remix)

Yip Wong, better known as Deft, is a producer whose signature sound effortlessly blends hip hop, house, jungle, and footwork influences. He employs his honed sound design chops to create immersive productions that have gained the support of artists including DJ Shadow, Gilles Peterson, B.Traits, and more. 

His sample pack is as tight as his releases, containing top-notch drums, fx, and tonal loops that are excellent for both cinematic textures and mainstream productions.

"Layers" - Splice Sample Pack Demo

Release Date: 5th April 2019
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital // Limited edition 8” picture disc
Cat No: 2020LDN016

‘Cracks’ is the new album by ever-evolving producer Yip Wong aka Deft, set for release on 5th April 2019 via Ivy Lab’s 20/20 LDN label.

A body of work that is setting a milestone for the beats scene, ‘Cracks’ is a cinematic and powerfully emotive record by Deft, seamlessly brought together through lo-fi, immersive atmospheres and crisp, intricate beat-scapes. Shaking off the constraints of genre; Yip listened to albums by artists such as Grouper, William Basinki, Bibio and Arthur Russell to gain a better understanding of how these musicians and artists constructed narrative in their work. The album is a personal document to dealing with loss, the process of grief, and the release that comes through music.

“Since I started writing music, I’ve always wanted to put together an LP; a body of work narratively driven with a consistent and coherent voice. As I’m a firm believer in the journey/story that music can give and create, I always tried to apply my idea of an LP to most of my previous EPs. During a large period of time whilst releasing music as Deft, my sister was fighting cancer. Listening to and creating music during that time was really important for me, as a way to cope and deal with everything that was happening. After a long fight, my sister sadly passed away nearly four years ago. I deliberated a lot about deciding whether or not to talk about all of this but ‘Cracks’, although it has gone through a variety of iterations over the past three and bit years, has been my catharsis, and it revolves around grief and all of the ways in which I’ve dealt with the loss of my sister.”

Encompassing how he was feeling at the time, the title track ‘Cracks’ was the first piece he wrote. Deciding this would set the tone of the album, Yip began to use these samples and sounds as the palette for the rest of the tracks. As he continued to write, he focused on resampling and adapting from each previous sketch. Repeated notes, drones and pulses were something he tried to maintain throughout the album, to reflect on his thought processes during this time, and the oddly comforting but often debilitating effect these cycles had when they broke.

“Writing ‘Cracks’ has reinforced my own belief in sampling, resampling, recycling and recreating something out of something else. I sample a lot in music, be it creating my own samples from samples or whatever, and the album has come through this method of thinking. I also worked with one of my good friends Alphabets Heaven on ‘On The Wire’. We worked together solidly over a few sessions to write and record the bass that he played, and that was a process I thoroughly enjoyed; working with someone you know well and trust, and also having them be a part of something that personally means a great deal.”

The ambient tracks on ‘Cracks’ will be collected, along with a new track exclusive to the vinyl, on a limited edition 8” picture disc. The need for a physical format was important to Yip: the track ‘In Passing’ features a recording of Yip’s sister’s voice at the end, one of the only voice memos he had of her on his phone.

“I wanted my sister to be on the record in some way or another. We originally weren’t going to do vinyl for this release, but decided to do this 8” picture disc. Having ‘In Passing’ on vinyl means there is something physical that exists in the world that has my sister’s voice on it.”
