Five years on from the label’s debut release, Bristol based Innate mainstays Gilbert and Owain K step into the limelight with their first split 12”.

Buoyed by the rip-roaring success of recent solo outings on 030303 and M>O>S Recordings. Gilbert offers a perfect summary of his trademark sound on Side A: full of star-gazing sci-fi synths, immersive textures, glassy-eyed melodics and timeless grooves.

First doffing a cap to one of his major influences, Leeds legends LFO on ‘Low Flying Objects’ – you’re met with booming acid bass, intergalactic electronics, dreamy pads and jacking drums. When the breakdown comes, it’s a thing of rare beauty. Flipping the script on ‘Unknown Entities’, he wraps shuffling drums and butter-smooth bass in celestial chords, yearning synths and the bubbliest of leads with serious emotional punch.

Owain K takes over on Side B with two more sublime slabs of head-in-the-clouds dancefloor futurism. Taking us to ‘Corona Borealis’, a small constellation a billion light years away, he combines the dreamiest of ambient chords with crispy electro drums, a deliciously raw bassline inspired by bleep techno’s most celebrated tune, and melodies that twinkle like distant stars. Accompanied by ‘New Horizons’, a lusciously enveloping, sun-splashed deep house workout that first appeared on a digital-only EP back in 2014. It provides a suitably tactile and warming end to another fine collection of high-grade cuts.

Innate 006 - Gilbert / Owain K

We are back with our first outing of the year, returning to the various artists format with a mix of talents all making their mark on Innate 007. 

UK veteran Tom Churchill opens up with 'Unknown Unknowns (Edit)', which brings plenty of fuzzy and lo-fi aesthetic to jacked up drums and spaced-out pads. Rai Scott then shows her class with 'Suasion' that sinks down deep into immersive drums and is subtly lit up with simmering strings. 

Owain K and Gilbert then hook-up under their brand new alias Curved Space and showcase their love of electro with 'Reverie,' a dreamy cut that glows with nice celestial melodies and will have dance floors in a zoned-out state. Last of all it's Lisbon mainstay Jorge Caiado debuts with the chord-laced 'Floating Without Lifting,' a sophisticated and serene jazz-techno cut that takes you to the stars.

Innate 007 - Various Artists

We're launching a new sub-label, Innate Editions: dedicated to timeless UK techno, IDM, electro and ambient music, all on heavyweight vinyl. 

The first release revives Connective Zone's Palm Palm (@connective-zone), a millennium-era classic (and Ben UFO favourite) that first came out on Mark Broom and Dave Hill's Unexplored Beats in 2001. 

This long-out-of-print, expensive and hard to find gem has been remastered by Jamie Anderson and so sounds superb with many lavish electronic layers, richly emotive melodies and dynamic drums that lean on UK techno, IDM, and deep electro. Sounds as good now as it ever did.

Roo with Owain K - 06 June 2025

Damo B brought the Innate boys Owain K and Gilbert up from Bristol to Manchester to help man the music stations @ Eastern Bloc! A wicked night that started with Damo B playing on a loosely B2B tip with Owain as they jointly delivered a smooth vinyl session deluxe, exploring their mad collections of deep, grooving, funky house music with a few techno licks thrown into the mix.

Gilbert then stepped up for a LIVE electronics set, performed off-the-cuff and exclusively composed of his own material. Astonishing music that will make you wish you were there!
