Djum is a tense skeletal take on drum and bass, replacing the standard heavy basslines with tight polyrhythmic drumwork. The metallic percussion takes the forefront, giving way to incredibly cathartic sub hits and sparse, distant breakbeats.

Bloodhound - Djum

Qant - No Niceness

Après avoir découvert le spectre de la bass music à travers la scène rave toulousaine. Aujourd'hui installé à Paris, Qant évolue au coeur de sonorités UK Techno, drum'n'bass, dubstep, et surtout jungle. Depuis peu, il s'est également mis à la musique live, toujours accompagné de sa fidèle boîte à rythmes Digitakt. 

Avec cette track, l’artiste nous plonge au cœur d’un univers sombre, teinté des sonorités bass music qu’iel affectionne.

5.   Mani Festo – Organic Technology

For our 4th release of 2024 we are excited to welcome back label mainstay Mani Festo for the follow up to his excellent “Eye’s Open EP” released on DEXT back in 2022 . “Ripple EP” sees him continue to develop and elevate his sound by taking things to more of a deeper level than his previous release’s. The theme of introspection is tightly woven throughout this EP as allot of time looking inwards was done while working on the tracks which were developed from sketches’ over a two year period.
The artist says - “It’s not overtly designed for the dance floor, deep melancholic moments are ever present, underpinned by heavyweight soundsystem music, something that is deeply embeded in my inspirations”
All the trade mark breakbeats and heavily saturated drums sounds we have come to expect from Nick are Omnipresent but refined in such a way he can stamp his own signature of distinctive uniqueness.  The EP covers a diverse range of styles and emotional soundscapes from Ethereal pads underpinned by rolling breaks to straight up balls to the walls overdriven 4x4 techno nastiness, and to top things off we have one of the UKs original underground hero’s Hooverian Blur getting in on the action with a killer no nonsense remix aimed firmly at the dance floor. We Hope you enjoy the release!

Third time’s a charm, right? Deep, rumbling—a shift in the seasons. Serious stuff, but always with a grin—Ommaya Vol. 3 baby. That’s right, our mainline compilation series is back for round three, bringing in friends from Tokyo to Berlin to the UK alongside familiar faces to properly bass-boost this entry. Bass is so back.

Ajota - Basalt

"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."
