After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.

MISO - The Pact [Premiere]

Paying homage to the EP's which still stand as a vital part of the Ram discography, the label is about to reveal the third part of the ‘Ram Rave’ EP series. After launching the succession of releases in 2019, providing a package for both DJs and fans alike, Ram pulls together a collection of cuts which has signalled for the dancefloor orientated artists within their scope.

Delivering Prestige, Focusfire, Smooth & DC Breaks, Disaszt, Living Plastic, LQ, Ungru, NC-17, HeadRead, Psynchro & Whalespruce and more into the mix, welcoming artists both old and new, Ram enable fans to supplement clubbing culture at home. And they’re preparing them for the time their favourite spaces open their doors once more.

LQ - Divination

York based Aperio joins forces Low:r for the next instalment on Ram’s sister-label Program, this now being his third outing on the imprint. Having also made an appearance on the 2020 Ram Records Drum & bass Annual, Aperio has been a frequent face amongst the array of talent which appears throughout Program’s extensive release schedule.

For this next single they pull together their individual geniuses and offer two fresh new perspectives on the Program moniker. ‘Perspectives’ is a rolling riddim with clever drum work and searing vocal patches, meanwhile 'Lost Souls’ draws for plucked strings which build into swooping layers of melody. So once again, it’s time to get with the Program. Opening the door to the summer months from the comfort of your speakers.
