Pathwey presents ‘Release’ — the second in a series of two-track EPs. Featuring the ethereal vocal stylings of Moondrop, ‘Release' aims to deliver a message of healing and evoke a sense of hope and inspiration. The EP was conceived during a recording session in 2018 at the foot of the Hawaiian volcano, Kīlauea, the day before a massive eruption shook the island. The ‘Release’ EP reflects on this monumental initiation and is an homage to the immense power of nature and the cycles of life and death.

Opening with “Carry Away”, waves of lush vibrations and emotive bass frequencies carry Moondrop’s potent vocals across a vivid soundscape. Her powerful lyrics take the center stage as they call upon the listener to connect with the healing energy of Mother Earth and recognize our innate connection with all living things. This compelling transmission serves as a reminder of the importance of environmental stewardship and urges the listener to embrace the power of positive change.

Intelligent grooves and elegant soundscapes gracefully carry us into the EP’s title track. Delicate melodies weave through extra-dimensional sound design as Moondrop's voice transmits an ambiance of celestial tones. Inviting the listener to shed old patterns of stagnation, “Release” asks us to let go of the things that no longer serve us and progress in our evolution into higher states of being.

Exploring unique interpretations of Future Garage infused with IDM and Neuro Bass, the ‘Release’ EP showcases Pathwey’s depth as a producer and Moondrop’s elegance as a vocalist. Together, the two offer a deep expression of healing and self-transformation from the heart and soul. With its evocative themes and captivating compositions, ‘Release’ hopes to inspire listeners amidst the many challenges and obstacles on the path of spiritual growth.

It’s been a minute, but Sneaker Social Club is gassed to facilitate the return of the mighty House Of Black Lanterns, locking in for the dankest 2-step flex in a sincere ode to pirate radio culture. Dylan Richards has always displayed an affinity for low-end pressure threaded through his versatile HOBL output on Houndstooth and his prior work as King Cannibal, but he’s never dialled in to UKG with this much focus before.
 
The A side comes on strong with ‘Back To Back Special’, a dark garage creeper with negative space so vast it becomes all consuming — all the better for the ample MC toasting and spring reverb FX splashes to ping out around the skeletal, hard-knocking swing and snarling bass. ‘Out To The Private Number’ maintains the theme, flipping soulful UKG tropes into an ice-cold update for these malevolent times. 
 
On the flip, Richards pushes the formula further out with ‘Slew’, which deploys hardcore-minded bass hooks in a devilishly dissected rhythmic framework and amps up the yard intensity on the MC source material to create a deadly intersection of garage, rave and dancehall. ‘Summon Like’ dials up the eeriness and lets the growl of the bass take centre stage in a potent, unnervingly minimalist dance wrecker that simply confirms the crystal clear vision Richards is pursuing on this record. 
 
It’s a devout love letter to the edgiest of garage’s golden era without being limited to a simple genre study. Instead, a broad church of soundsystem exaltation gets expressed through the Richards’ elevated production vocabulary, capturing the shockout, mind-blowing spirit of the most trailblazing plates when they first got dropped on an unsuspecting crowd.

More on Kabuki | below

Few artists have been releasing music for decades yet still maintain their relevance with the ever-evolving soundscape we call electronic music. Enter Kabuki, an artist that falls into the cateogry of original junglist yet for years has released widely across the bass music spectrum. He also holds the title as one of Sony Playstation’s most celebrated gamer soundtack musical talents.
