OP015 // Krotone - Stranger

Krotone’s self-titled releases and output on Of Paradise, Challenger Deep and Earful Of Wax, have rightly become buy-on-sight material for clubbers peaked by the darker side of left-of-centre, dubwise club music. 

His stunning contribution to our mix series is no different, featuring just under two hours of driving, off-kilter, peak-time weapons in his signature style, with plenty of surprises along the way.

Krotone plays Wire on 11-11-22 alongside Djrum & re:ni.

Krotone - Outlook Origins 2023 Mix

Krotone takes the spotlight for Devil’s Work's third release, the new label launched by Idle Hands boss, Farrell.

During the heyday of the Idle Hands shop, Krotone’s self-released 12”s resonated deeply with the shop's ethos, delivering bass-heavy, dub, and techno sounds that perfectly encapsulated the vibe within those wall. Farrell took notice, integrating these tracks into DJ sets regularly. So, when the new label Devil's Work emerged, it was only natural that this Leeds-based producer and DJ found a place among its ranks

‘Champion’ stands tall as a formidable slice of propulsive dub techno, adorned with resonating stabs and an elegant breakdown.

Meanwhile, ‘Project 36’ boasts a similar weightiness, its sound leaning towards garage while retaining a distinct dub techno essence.

Closing the curtain on Devil’s Work releases for the year, this marks the finale of 2023, promising an exciting array of releases lined up for 2024.

DEXT020 - KROTONE - MASH DOWN EP (CLIPS) OUT 23RD FEB 2024

@krotone brings his unmistakable brand of garage and breaks to Scuffed Recordings on his 16 Deck EP.

Leeds-based producer Krotone is one of the most unique producers working in garage and breaks in recent years, with releases on labels like DEXT, Of Paradise, and DPR, alongside appearances at Outlook Festival and some of his hometown’s most prominent venues.

Krotone’s sound flits between 2-step UKG and breakbeat with a healthy serving of groove, bass weight and dub influence. Produced on a hardware setup, Krotone’s sound is shot through with an upfront rawness that makes his tracks stand out in a crowded field.

His 16 Deck EP features three new tracks, from the the lurching swing of opener ‘Watch’, to the satisfyingly wobbly title track, and closing with the taut, stuttering 4x4 and spaced-out dub chords of ‘Original’.

More 0113 repping as we welcome Leeds' Krotone to close out the mix series for 2020!

This one nestles perfectly in between an underwhelming Xmas and "WTF shall we do NYE?" Moody, deep, somber 4/4 with a slap of signature dubby textures from a talented producer who's emerged this year and set to grow into 2021! 

Here's to a Happy New Year...
