After two stunning releases on Exit Records in 2018 and 2020, 2022 marks Itoa’s third offering to dBridge’s esteemed catalogue.

With his ‘Oh No’ EP, the London artist follows hypnotic loops into a treasure trove of 160 and bass bangers that are sure to keep their cool even as they set dancefloors on fire.

From the slouchy, wall-melting fuzz of ‘We Want’, to the breakneck claustrophobia of Girlboss Microplastix, the release keeps the body at its core: in Itoa’s words, “trying to make music that makes me want to move when surrounded by uncertainty and possible collapse.” Fierce, but subtle: funky, and still ice cold.

For the title track, Itoa incorporates spicy vocal grit from Japanese vocalist Nakamura Minami / なかむらみなみ, a rapper with affiliations to iconic Tokyo-based imprint Trekkie Trax. ‘Oh No’ takes jacking acid to new levels, unleashing an infectious 303 workout not just for the feet, but the shoulders too. Go ahead and whip your hair to this one—then take a sweat break before ‘Fonda U’ continues to tear up the tracklist with crisp wubs and a drumbeat that just won’t quit.

On the flip, ‘Girlboss Microplastix’ and ‘Catch Eyes’ hit a perfect combo of neurofunk hypnosis and raise-yer-gunfingaz fuel. Who said a 303 couldn’t tag team a reese bass… Jump-up, footwork, bassline and braindance all make their cameos here and the results are delicious—fine dining for the UK heads.

Jan Loup makes her debut at Jupiter4 with a display of stretched Half Time and cursed Dubstep songlist. Introspection and stomping sound design prevails during the 5 originals songs across Jan's own voice that blends perfectly with surreal droning. New York and Monkeytown Records affiliated duo Sha Ru get aboard with a 4/4 remix together with London based Eyeza, who recently released at Mexico's Infinite Machine, with a deranged ensemble of mutant Techno.

https://soundcloud.com/kindergartenrecords returns with a VA full of depraved glamour and malicious intent, welcoming back https://soundcloud.com/drvmmy and Despina with a pair of unholy club-movers ready to put the fear into any dance, while Italian duo Train to Eltanin make their first appearance on the label with a mangled stomper that splutters with chaotic energy. As for Ma Sha Ru, Taiga is the most accomplished use of Masha’s vocals to date, cocooning them in a tempestuous barrage of pulsating bass and a swirling, kinetic drive.

Newcomers Train to Eltanin are co-founders of the Cyberspeak Collective in Milan. Just in their early 20s, their contribution, Bambam speaks to a prodigious talent, taking a starting point almost reminiscent of 90s big beat before ripping it to shreds immediately, squeezing every ounce of freakiness from it’s bizarre vocal snippet and contorting the track beyond any recognition.

Drummy and Despina, featured on KINDER002 and KINDER003 respectively, double down on this atmosphere. The former, having shown already his penchant for the sinister, evokes the spooky raison d'etre of its namesake in RL STINE, and builds a shuffling stepper over PS2 squeaks, and a gargling broth of bass and taught drum hits. Despina meanwhile delves into disarray with Entropics, named for “the tendency of a system to go from a state of order to one of chaos.” The result is two build-ups for maximum tension, broken with two break-neck plunges into the abyss and a cataclysmic flurry of knotty beats and bottomless subs.

Exit Records is at forefront of electronic music, constantly pushing the envelope in terms of aesthetic and execution.
Label owner dBridge strikes a careful balance between releasing music that serves a purpose for dancers and thinkers alike. The roster of artists involved in the label is allowed express themselves as they see fit with only one stipulation; pushing the genre forward.
The Exit Records club nights are typically riotous affairs- they stand as a mix of the most cutting-edge music crossed with a firm eye on the dancefloor, from stages at festivals to residencies at clubs across the world, the events are known to sell out.
As the label enters its 15th year of existence a confidence in sound and direction has come to the fore and this is what cements Exit Records as a go-to label for those inside and out of the genre.
