t’s with great pleasure that we can welcome the formidable talent that is Ed:it back to the CIA fold. His last release for the label came a fair few years back now, in which time this fine producer has been slowly but surely honing his craft. Always one with an ear for the subtleties within the music and an ability to produce a range of styles, while his output may have quietened down over the last year or two, his work-rate in the studio appears to have done quite the opposite. These latest four tracks that he has given CIA seem to have many of the elements and personality traits of his earlier work, but with a further refinement and quality to them. 
‘The Keep’ comprises of four cuts, ranging from deep late night rollers, jungle inspired dub work-outs and all the way round to beautifully melancholic musical pieces. This body of work truly contains something for everyone, and while it nods to several of the important heritage points within our music, it sounds contemporary and cutting edge - the perfect middle ground for a constantly growing and developing musician.

The Exist and See EP

Digital Native - Sunsets and Footsteps

Dispatch veterans NC-17 and Philth developed a bond during back-to-back sets at Outlook Festival and Dispatch Recordings parties across the UK. Sharing a nostalgia for the classic era of tech drum and bass, their spontaneous quick mixes and upfront selections gelled. This quickly developed into a creative partnership that aimed to replicate that same energy with new productions inspired by the golden-era tracks they still play in every set. 

Combined with a love of cinema and gritty, raw funk-driven rollers, the pair quickly found themselves in a prolific creative flow that gave birth to the 'Last of a Dying Breed' EP series. The first volume of productions from this period forms a statement of intent, with each track delivering heavy impact with huge dance floor appeal.

➔ About the Track
Originally a flip on a random Rhodes sample I downloaded from YouTube, I haven't been able to locate the video ever since. Started August 2023.
The main rhodes in the drop is duplicated and pitched up an octave, with volume automation, giving it this guitar-like tonality. One of my favourite sound design technique since, which I've reused in tracks such as Sirens (never released but iykyk).
The vocal is made using Synthesizer V, with this being my first experience with lyrics, up until my remix of Bad Seed for YOKAI's album. I wanted a deep voice, similar to that of DRS which I was (and am still) addicted to. Unfortunately not quite what I envisioned but it worked.

➔ About the Album
Collection of Liquid Drum & Bass works from 2021~2024.
This album is a testament to almost 4 years of producing, while still not finding what I truly enjoy making. Perhaps, one could say I'm lost. But at the same time, I've been lost forever yet I've never felt like it was truly a problem. So Let's hope the next few years are equally filled with both ups and downs - I think this is what makes my life so interesting.
Liquid DnB has been a great genre to produce over the years, with inspiration by Makoto, LSB, Harry Shotta, and many more. While being a genre I sometimes consider as 'lazy' or 'uninspired', I still think it's one of the widest subgenres of drum & bass, considering the range of instruments---both synthetic and acoustic---which can be used.

The cover artwork and video visuals are a love letter to my magnificent country and region - the French Alps, and showcase something I really enjoy: taking deep breaths outside through driving, hiking or cycling. The photo was taken in 2023 during a bivouac and is the westside of Taillefer from the Plateau des Lacs, and various videos were taken from 2021 to today on various trips and hikes, by car, foot or bicycle.
