‘The Pulse of Iron’ an apt reflection of modern progression into the unknown industrial world. It comes from Naarm based artist, Consulate who has found a home on Pure Space Records for our 10th label release. On this EP, Consulate delivers four tracks of dance music for the dystopian with a slick DnB sheen.

On the A-side ‘Postrach’ the centres the record squarely within the realm of its influences, its intricate percussive patterns offset by industrial ambience. Here a half-time snare cuts through the abyss of ambience, while a floating topline caries you through dreary territories. Completing the A-side is ‘Spec 4’, a subtly staunch percussive track that is fueled by acute vocal sampling, weighty breaks and a hypnotic dub infused bassline.

The flip side heads back into half-time territory with ‘The Fear’. Delayed vocal samples paired with dub-style stabs pulse in a heady but immersive rhythm. Rounding out the record is ‘Warlock’, a percussive track that proves the restraint Consulate has in his craft. Moody, sliced vocals skitter through delayed percussion creating a sense of tension. When it feels as though the storm is just about to hit, you are enveloped by fast-paced jungle breaks drawing you deeper into the eye of the storm.


‘Here beyond man’s judgements all covenants were brittle.’

[ST004] Premis - Alumni EP (feat. Double Precision, Thrived & Sha Ru)

Tinkah - ‘Apathy Is Death’ [EP] is releasing on Knowledge records, May 2023.

Chapter One in this here sonic tapestry is woven by Leipzig artisan, Tinkah - An artist we had the good fortune of releasing in 2022, as part of the Return to Nature series.

‘Apathy Is Death’ is a precisely engineered, restless and longing work of experimental bass music. Tinkah has created a sonic landscape that is both mesmerising and chilling.

The fundamental note is tension as he speaks a tale of ego and its myriad manifestations.. Highs & lows. Climax & anticlimax. Adoration & pity. A 12” quest through the taverns of retrospect.

The 6 tracks, live arranged on a MPC alongside a whimsical bounty of synths & effects, are packed rich with cinematic soundscapes, driving rhythms and an ever evolving temper.

Inspired by true events and adorned with sounds from his world. ‘Apathy Is Death’ tells the parable of being jointly lost and found in the intensity of life.

Available on 12” Vinyl and Digital
The 12” record comes with a large format poster insert, stickers and special treats.

Sister Zo - EMP

With summer fast approaching in Copenhagen, we bring you a new local duo with a sound that makes you wish for the sunset as fast as possible. BUSCAN & TAKJACOB are pulling inspiration from all the Copenhagen scenes that they are mingling with, from punk and hardcore to techno, bass music, dubstep and beyond. All is mixed together on this EP.

Both originals contain the distinctly thematic drums. Title track ‘Mask of Djalu’ takes it in a polyrhythmic, genre-bending direction, ready for that late night trance vibe. Meanwhile, ‘Petrichor’ is a straight up 140 bass monster, complete with heavy kicks, wobs and horns.
For the remixes, label bossman Alex Index delivers a hard hitting flip of ‘Petrichor’ with end-to-end breakbeats. Remixing the title track is London’s secret weapon, Ollie Rant, with a UKG trip, that somehow both gives off throwback vibes, while securely illustrating the sound of the future.

A little something for everyone, as long as you like heavy ass bass!
