Mixes

Hot on the heels of a split tape for Portland label Pearsoll Peak (which he co-runs) and a solo CD for Cosmic Bud/Bud Tapes, Matthew Pepitone's mix for Index includes four original songs created over the past year. Leaning heavily into trance, glitch and ambient, these can be seen as b-sides that compliment his recent output nicely.

Tracklist:

1. Insane Trance Arps
2. Super Bowl Drift
3. Moody Glitcher
4. Unreal Odyssey

INDEx Mix #36 - Matthew Pepitone

Hesh is somewhat of a traveler. He spent the last few years between Leeds, Brussels, Berlin and Maastricht and is now back in Brussels again. In his time in these cities he studied music in depth, discovering a deep passion for an environmental sound. His musical journey started with house music and then drifted away to acousmatic music, soundscapes and ankle breaking techno. Hesh is also the co-founder of @Initiate_concept and curator of the Initiate Reflexions Podcasts:

INDEx Mix #40 - Hesh

Defrag is extreme sound design and audio rhythmic experimentation of Jeff Dodson, a composer and sound designer living in Los Angeles CA.

Defrag's influences like IDM, dubstep and experimental abstract glitch, filter into his music. With his classical background giving it a more cinematic progression. Orchestrated strings, piano, classic analogue synths and software processing add up to a fusion of analogue warmth, modern classical and raw digital abstraction.

That he chooses instead to make his attention to detail the vehicle for his songs rather than their focus is not only admirable, it’s a definitive comment on his priorities and where they lie. Defrag makes complicated music, but you can completely forget that in the moment and just experience it.

INDEx Mix #45 - Aritmia Sonora

This mix is a reflection of my 10+ year journey through the (bass) music scene as a listener and later as a DJ, Event Curator and Label Manager of "Eyesome". The selection starts off rather gentle around the 120-140 bpm mark with dub(step) and 4x4 UKG material before dipping into drum 'n bass. Both styles were highly influential to my taste in music from early on and up until this day continue to shape it. I feel lucky and privileged to be able to work with so many talented musicians on a regular basis. Hope you like the mix which I recorded - S/O Palanga Street Radio for allowing me use their studio.

INDEx Mix #47 - Marco Ferrantelli

This mix was done for us by Mono Code for Source Control, featuring unreleased music and tracks from the forthcoming Unkey & Mono Code collab release “Tech Two EP”, that will come out on Source Control the 24th of October 2025.

Launched in 2025, Source Control is an innovative music label founded by UK based artist Unkey. With a vision to create a platform that embraces a diverse range of musical styles, it will remain firmly rooted in its origin of dubstep and 140 beats. The label is dedicated to showcasing sub-heavy music that is dark and atmospheric, providing a sonic landscape where artists can explore their creativity without limits. 

Cornwall-based producer Henry McEndoo, formerly known as Deft Design, nowpresents his latest project: Mono Code. An underground electronic artist withroots in dubstep and halftime drum & bass, his sound has always been definedby dark, atmospheric undertones and meticulous attention to rhythm andtexture.Mono Code represents an evolution — a sharper focus on the intersectionsbetween breakbeat, garage, dubstep and forward-thinking bass music, while drawing increasing influence from the hypnotic drive of techno.

Unkey is another producer who effortlessly explores the darker side of bass-driven dance music, seemingly drawing inspiration from stripped-back Grime instrumentals and two-step rhythms. The Midlands based talent has released on such labels as Artikal Music, Dungeon Beats, Uprise Audio, and more. His sound is a high-octane amalgamation of the many strains of UK bass-centric music, often with a melodic and rhythmic flair that typifies his tracks. Unkey is also founder of the Source Control label and an accomplished DJ/producer bagging up airtime on staple stations such as BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, 1 Xtra, Rinse fm and SWU.fm. 

With the new “Tech Two” release on Source Control, the duo delves deeper in their shared fascination with texture and structure. Re-imagining and reconstructing material from their previous “Tech One” each track is a re-egineering of form, tuned for the darker corners of the club. The result is a record that feels both connected to its origin while entrirely forward looking, setting the stage for “Tech Three” coming out next year, where the evolution of their sound will continue.
