The inimitable Cold Leader returns to Codename: RCRDS with his first solo EP for the label – ‘The Valley Beyond EP’, providing a perfect snapshot of this truly unique emerging talent.

‘The Valley Beyond’, ‘Listen OK’ and ‘Electric Weekends’ all demonstrate his distinctive approach to fast breakbeat music, eschewing conventional norms in Jungle / Drum & Bass for a completely fresh and novel take on the sound, perfect for the dancefloor.

The release is complemented by fresh remixes from Moakz, who spins ‘Clear To Engage’ into a deep introspective roller, and NonRev’s driving take on early Codename: banger ‘The Hollow Sausage’ pushes the original into a fascinating new atmos-tech direction.

Out 23/02/24 on Bandcamp, 04/03/24 on all other platforms)

CODERCRDS018 - Cold Leader - The Valley Beyond EP (Out 23/02/24)

Raket's first EP on Ion Drive features two pressurized powder kegs. Relentless atmospherics, bass growls and sound efx don't let up as the tension builds and builds under a barrage of Techstep Breakbeats and subsonic bass bombs. 
Concrete Bed and Rust Bucket are two forward thinking works of modern Techstep.

Atmospherics is Soul Intent’s fourth studio long player and sees him explore interstellar soundscapes via his Exkursions imprint. Anyone familiar with Alex’s work will have likely picked up that he has a soft-spot for science fiction and Atmospherics draws on influences from classic movies through to seminal ambient electronica LPs such as Biosphere’s “Patashink”, Global Communications “76:14” and Aphex Twin's “Selected Ambient Works”.

Polska Skeptic Tank show w/ Lubi J b2b Electra - 16 March 2024

After a brief pause Codename: RCRDS return to the second part of our ‘Broken’ trilogy, and bringing together a selection of newcomers to the label.  Separated by geography but united by the rhythms of jungle and drumfunk, the release takes to four different corners of the genre as we move between darkness and light, playfulness and intensity over the course of the release to discover the Broken Tribes. 

The EP opens with Brownsville’s breakbeat maestro Krugah, with ‘Simple Ting’ providing a stunning example of his unique and creative style.  Marvel Cinema joins the fray with ‘Endless Energy’, full of frantic drum edits which provide a counterpoint to the dreamy house-inflected vocals and pads.  The 2nd half of the EP moves into a darker direction with Jack Rapture’s amen choppage skills at the fore on the deep and introspective ‘Why Are We Here?’, before E.B.S. closes the release with the intense ‘Aftermath’, interspersing dark distorted bass tones and dubwise vocals with tearing amens and moody synths. 

Release date 26/04/24

CODERCRDS021 - Broken Tribes EP (Clips) (OUT 26/04/24)

Wicked Jungle Records and Okee take you on a deep jungle/D&B excursion with the forthcoming release 'Kobu / Yuyu', paying homage to the Golden Years of atmospheric jungle whilst adding contemporary liquid flavours. 'Kobu' delivers a hard-hitting flurry of rapid fire amen breaks expertly balanced with soaring, atmospheric pads and an infectious, undulating bassline straight out of '94. 'Yuyu' sees timestretched snares interweave with 2-step breaks and laid back, jazzy bass notes creating a perfect example of modern jungle funk. Okee's 'Kobu / Yuyu' delivers two very differing takes on the liquid, drum & bass style which are destined to become an essential addition to any forward thinking jungle/drum & bass set.
