Lock on for a legit excursion into 140 realness as Sneaker Social Club welcomes Silas into the fold. The breakthrough Oxford beatsmith has been on the bubble-up for a minute, facing off with the likes of Trends and Boylan on Mean Streets, remixing PRAGA and throwing down for repeat appearances on Rinse and elsewhere.

The sound Silas pushes on the ‘Wot’ EP - his debut solo 12” no less - is steeped in the original dank pressure of OG grime and dubstep, where moodiness and minimalism create the perfect storm for all-consuming soundsystem immersion. There’s a wavey swing to ‘Know Yourself’ which contrasts with the strict, claustrophobic drive of ‘Wot’. ‘Ubuntu’ on the flip teases an evocative sound world just past the edge of the mix, but manages to hold down the stripped back approach on a skippy 4/4 rhythm which nudges garage into a kind of tech-house-funky amalgamation. ‘Make It Happen’ offers yet another subtle slant on Silas’ style, crooked and gritty but still executed with
an unrelenting, austere focus.

Consider this an essential pin dropped on forward-leaning bassweight sounds which carry the torch for grime and dubstep’s ice-cold origins, maintaining maximum presence without even a whiff of derivative wobble.

Silas - Know Yourself [SNKR054]

For our second release in the series of singles and EPs, @thematicspb & @oddkut have joined forces to bring a "Minimal Grind" EP. Equally split into two solo and two collaborative productions, this four-tracker once again proves Oddkut's and Thematic's mastery in both fields, with sonics ranging from pretty stripped minimalistic dubstep to skippy percussive-driven leftfield bass.

Oddkut - Internal Rift

Faux Poly welcomes more newcomers to the label this summer, this time with a heady collaboration between Vancouver’s underground mainstay Max Ulis and Bristol-based Nina (aka 1/2 of DE-TÜ), featuring a bonus track with Adam 2.

Their EP Mythra was born out of opportunistic collaboration in Vancouver, while Nina was in town for a show. The lead track Culture was put together quickly and instantly the two artists knew that they were on to something good. This track, along with Bumpa & Papaya showcases a confident, hardware-focussed minimal techno sound with unmistakable elements of classic bass & dub. In-keeping with the Faux Poly imprint these tracks comfortably straddle multiple dance genres and are built for the club.

Finishing off the EP is the stellar dubstep curveball Testify, a collaboration between Max & Adam 2 using the unique Soma Enner synth alongside vocals from Nina.

Max has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver’s thriving underground and is a regular on the West Coast festival circuit. Max’s diverse music productions have found a home on labels such as Turbo, VRNT, Iile, Club Designs, Sloth Boogie and Thirty Year Recordings, and has seen support from DJs such as Ben Sims, Prosumer, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flugel, Anz, Skream, B. Traits, Soul Clap, and Om Unit.

Oddkut - Inna Tek

An unexpected but refreshing fusion of styles, this Special 4 Track E.P. sees recent Dimeshift labelmates Delian Sound and Spectre come together to self-release a collection of hard-hitting, hybrid music that shelves trends in favour of carving out a new soundworld.

In a format harking back to the early days of Tempa, the E.P. taps into both producers' interest in writing fresh takes on the '02-'03 post-garage moment, reinterpreting elements of 140/dubstep, breakbeat, and more.

Delian Sound's signature breaks, sampling ethics, and wobbles bookend the release, leading the opening breakstep-excursion "Bass Odyssey " and reese-drenched roller "Eclipse" in the finale.

Meanwhile, the measured edge of Spectre's pad, synth, and drum work set the stage in the merciless, keeps-you-guessing track "Anything" and meditative progressions of "Stasis".
