We are excited to announce the expansion of the Transparent Audio family in 2025, introducing new talent to our roster, and we have a big surprise in store. Welcoming our newest artist, Kaneki.

A fresh face in the bass music scene, Kaneki is a versatile DJ and producer whose sound spans a wide range of tempos, from 130 to 170 BPM, with a main focus on sub-heavy, bass-driven sonics. Drawing influence from early jump-up drum & bass and the organic groove of drum-intensive rollers, Kaneki is poised to carve out a unique space for himself within the bass music community.

Formerly known as 'Khan,' originally from Plymouth and now based in Bristol, this next phase of his career marks an exciting evolution, as he continues to develop his new and distinctive sound. Whether it’s through the explosive drop of a high-octane Drum & Bass roller or a bone-rattling heavyweight Dubstep track, Kaneki’s music always carries a groove that resonates on the dancefloor. His productions are not just about heavy basslines; they evoke emotion and movement, engaging the mind and body.

With a growing catalogue of releases under his previous moniker, Khan, Kaneki is now focused on embracing his new identity and looking forward to exploring the next chapter in his evolving sound. We can’t wait to share what’s to come from Kaneki in 2025 and beyond.

Lara x Leader ft Logan (FREE DOWNLOAD)

"Atomic" kicks off with a dark, tension-filled atmosphere, pulling listeners into an almost cinematic build-up before the drop hits with the force of an atomic blast. With gritty, deep basslines and a raw, no-nonsense energy, this track is primed to make an impact.

Drawing on the best of classic UK dubstep, "Atomic" blends old-school vibes with a fresh twist, capturing the unmistakable grit of the genre. It’s tailor-made for the dancefloor, delivering relentless beats that’ll leave listeners hooked from the first drop to the very last bass hit.

Jah-Tek presents the 140 entry into the 13 track VA album, 'Hidden', from Acris. This one spears through the tonal spectrum, fireing off dense lead oscilations, accompanied by resonating etheral pad work and thumping low end.
