PRESSURE CORE distils warped bass, siren-led tension and rolling rhythm into three KAIZEN rave staples.

Built for longevity.

Tried and tested across clubs and festivals throughout 2025.

Tracklist:
Alarm of The Lizard – A cold-blooded club tool. Imperative sirens cut through hard drum percussion, while Baltimore-style vocal fragments add grit and immediacy. Dramatic, groove-focussed, and full of raptorial energy.

Gold Brew
A potent brew of heavy bass-weight with a breakbeat backbone and undulating low-end drone that crescendos into a FlightFM-style, free falling monster. Straightforward and brutal, it’s a headsy switch-up whose subtle approach, detonates mid-set with control and sophistication.

WhistleCore
A high-octane percussive stampede that's both playful and functional. Rolling drums and claps ratchet the tension before a carnival whistle locks the groove breaking into a militant procession that sparked realtime conga lines during a Madam X livestream in Tokyo. Dembow inflections and dancefloor plot-twists = maximum body movement.

SMIFF - PRESSURE CORE (KZN016)

Now a familiar face on the Cowgate club circuit, 24-year-old DJ and producer SMIFF has made quick moves in the past couple of years: finding his feet at Headset’s long-running parties, holding down a Sneaky Pete’s club residency and more recently hopping on the decks to play a b2b with Skrillex. SMIFF’s sets are adeptly packed with heavyweight belters and more subtle textural sounds, exploring the crossroads between breakbeat, dubstep and other soundsystem influences. With a growing catalogue of releases and regular slots behind the decks at venues all over the city, you can party in comfort of knowing the future of Edinburgh’s dance music is glaringly bright.

"Shady and sinister, they're on a strictly hoods-up, heads-down tip. Think moody dubstep with the addition of some subtle percussive seasoning and you're there."
