In 2022, coming out of that very weird lockdown, I was starting to sketch in the studio. I made Life Is But A Dream, and I had no idea what to do with it. I knew I was stepping away from my own label Hospital Records, and that was it. I played the track to my agent Chris BluMarTen and he instantly said "send it to Goldie. That would be a vibe to release on Metalheadz". I loved the idea so I did, not expecting for a minute that Goldie would like it. To my surprise, he called straight back, and said he liked it and he’d like to release it.

This felt surreal - All my D&B had only been released on Hospital ever since 1996. And now I was looking at a release on the OG of foundation labels.

G said make another tune, and I was tossing ideas back and forth with Conrad Subs, and we came up with a beat we liked. I’ve been following Genesis Elijah for years, always loved his lyrics and flow, and I sent it him, and he came up with the vocal lines for All On Top. Again, Goldie loved it, and we had a release ready to go.

I’m beyond proud and grateful for the opportunity to release on Metalheadz.

34-й эпизод серии livecast от Traffic — одного из ключевых двигателей развития андеграунд drum & bass-культуры на Дальнем Востоке и в России, продюсера и организатора резидентских ивентов :data.

За плечами Traffic — более двух десятилетий музыкального пути: от первых d’n’b-вечеринок во Владивостоке до сетов на ведущих площадках страны. Он прошёл путь от локального энтузиаста до важной фигуры сцены, чьи треки издавались на RAM, ProgRam, Demand и других международных лейблах.

Сегодня Юрий — организатор и активный участник московского лейбла Data Music, куратор одноимённой серии мероприятий, объединяющей глубокий саунд и верность корням жанра.

Лайвкаст был записан вживую на одном из событий :data в стенах клуба RNDM.

Episode 34 of the livecast series comes from Traffic — one of the driving forces behind the underground drum & bass movement in the Russian Far East and across the country, a producer and resident event organizer with :data.

With over two decades of experience, Traffic’s path has taken him from the first d’n’b nights in Vladivostok to sets at some of the most respected venues in Russia. He has grown from a local enthusiast into a key figure of the scene, with releases on RAM, ProgRam, Demand, and other international labels.

Today, Yuri is an organizer and active contributor to the Moscow-based label Data Music, as well as the curator of its namesake event series — known for its deep sound and commitment to the genre’s roots.

This livecast was recorded live at one of the :data events held within the walls of RNDM Club.

We're excited to welcome EIJER - of the legendary duo Artificial Intelligence - back to Metalheadz for his second solo release on the label.

Titled 'Between The Gap', this 6 track EP builds on the momentum of his 2024 offering, expanding the vision with even greater depth and purpose. True to form, EIJER continues to masterfully balance contrast, merging light and dark across a tightly focused collection of tracks.

Standouts include the cosmic textures of 'Space Freak', the heavyweight, system-ready pressure of the title track, and 'Strip Back', a minimal yet cutting piece led by razor-sharp synth work.

Bungle - Twilight

Thinking

The Shimmering
On the violet-blue world of The Planet Wub, every orbital cycle brings the season known only as The Shimmering. During this time, the twin suns align, saturating the forests in waves of bioluminescent light. It is said that the planet’s inhabitants — crystalline-skinned beings attuned to rhythm and resonance — enter a state of cosmic courtship, communicating through low-frequency bass pulses rather than words.

The track captures that moment:

Funk-heavy jungle breaks as heartbeat accelerations

Alien percussion arrays echoing across the glimmering valleys

Bass frequencies entwining like dancers beneath the twin moons

For those who hear it on Earth, The Shimmering isn’t just music — it’s a love song between galaxies, a mating call broadcast through jungle drums and subsonic frequencies to any species capable of feeling rhythm in their bones.

🌟Xenobungalism: The Intergalactic Bungalist Frontier🌟

If Bungalism is the Rebirth of Jungle, then Xenobungalism is the First Contact. It begins with 1993–1995 jungle DNA — chopped breaks, rolling basslines, ritual percussion — then splices it with sound sources that don’t exist on Earth:

Hallucinated breakbeats folding time signatures in impossible geometries

Speculative instruments made from crystal, plasma, or quantum pressure waves

Alien fauna rhythms — cephalopod bass trumpets, insectoid percussion, telepathic dolphin choirs, creatures beating subsonic warning signals on hollow asteroid shells

The dancefloor becomes off-world terrain:

Raves in bioluminescent swamps under three moons

Bass ceremonies led by Octophantelepi elders

Wobblefish tribes summoning tidal drops with spectral drums

Xenobungalism rejects human minimalism and keeps the bright, playful, skankable spirit of Bungalism alive — but filtered through extraterrestrial physics. Delays loop through wormholes, Doppler sweeps bend spacetime, and every drop feels like the gravitational pull of a black hole made of funk.

It’s jungle when the rainforest itself has been abducted, mutated, and turned into a galactic breakbeat ecosystem.
