UN GROS MERCI À LES YEUX ORANGE POUR LA PRIMEUR !!!

Bakongo comes proper with two stripped back drum workouts for TRULE’s 10” series. UK Funky pioneer Roska has been making great percussion tracks under his Bakongo alias for some time now. On Thirteen/Level Cowbell he continues this with two rugged, skeletal drum tracks with tough, minimal bass and the faintest trace of texture in there that absolutely demand to be moved to.

Our long awaited second record comes in the form of a vinyl only VA, showcasing a variety of experimental club sounds from the UK’s underground.

UK Bass duo @heritage_ds collaborate with @Delouk on the A1. Following up EARWAX001 and The Reminiscence EP with a signature Bass/Breaks hybrid, Undesirable.

The A2 comes from the Berlin based and Sneaker Social Club affiliate, @Lowendactivist. 'Circle Speak' is a 140bpm low end, club weapon who’s rolling sub bass and mid-track percussion set the precedent and typify’s LEA’s genre bending style.

On the flip, we welcome Leeds producer @Krotone to the label, bringing with him a forward thinking Techno-Garage sound. The gradual onset of signature dubbed out chords on 'Immersed' make for a lengthy hypnotic breakdown and an emotional return to the dance floor.

Closing things out is @yosh_productions, who’s been firing on all cylinders since his 2020 emergence with serious EP's on Vivid, Time Is Now and Holding Hands. His remix of 'Immersed' is an all-out, drums blazing, breaks wobbler.

We are happy to welcome Canadian producer So Durand to the Choki Biki Family! The Ottawa native has supplied us with a 4 track EP comprised of Breakbeat, Jungle and Rave sounds that ends with an epic half-time Bonobo-esque masterpiece.

‘This Unruly Kingdom’ is the perfect transitional tool for both your Breaks and Drum & Bass DJ, blending the two genres together and sitting at around 160bpm.

The opening track Disons Que is reminiscent of early liquid Drum & Bass producers such as Bailey, Artificial Intelligence and Squarepusher. It combines melodic sounds with a deep bass and relentless breakbeat!

Following up is Take Me Back There, an early 90’s sounding Rave track with it’s Piano Stabs, Amen Breaks, Dub samples and 4 to the Floor drop.

Next is the titular TUK (This Unruly Kingdom). TUK is definitely one for the Drum & Bass and Jungle heads. So Durand’s North American heritage comes through clearly here with his use of high pitch vocal samples. However, it’s heavy Drum & Bass drop would definitely be heard in a Bristol basement.

Finally, So Durand ends his EP with LIES, an atmospheric hip-hop style track similar to acts such as Hudson Mohawk, Kanye West, Bonobo or Clap! Clap! thanks to his use of brass samples, broken vocal stings and wonky percussion. Wait for the second drop on this before you write this piece of genius off.

This Unruly Kingdom is out on Choki Biki Records on the 18th of February.

This Unruly Kingdom

PREMIERE : So Durand - Disons Que

Taking the reins for Tread's debut release is the unique Guava, whose previous releases on labels such as R&S and Holding Hands have made him one of the big names to watch in the left-field electronic world. Collaborating on the release are two of London’s finest session guitarists, Alex Blake and Leo Abrahams. Their impressive CVs include work with artists such as Jon Hopkins and Skepta, respectively.

Things open up with ‘In Cloud’, a blissed-out slab of broken techno, spaced out with guitar riffs played by Blake. Both ‘Libelle’ and ‘Equinox Meaning’ continue on this theme with a cut of bass weight, with more silky guitar performed by Abrahams on the latter. Dublin-based Sputnik One is on remix duties, turning ‘Libelle’ into a beefed-up club weapon fit for any sound system.

This is Detroit's Filthiest second appearance on Defrostatica Records after his joint with Sinistarr "Yo Speakerz" which received praise by legends DJ Shadow and Jon1st in 2017. The Baghdad-born, Detroit-made musician and Ghettotech innovator returns to the label with three no-frills banging 160 BPM tracks. Honor Among Thieves EP bristles with content of an artist and dj that knows a thing about making you move. The release is topped off with a glowing remix by BSN Posse from Malaga, Spain: smokey halftempo hangout melting into an amen break explosion.

Basic Rhythm - New Style EP - SNKR017

A1 - New Style 
A2 - Too Nuff 
B1 - London Warehouse 
B2 - Ready Again 

London based Basic Rhythm (aka East Man) gets straight to the point with his latest, aptly-titled ‘New Style' EP. 

This one is aimed straight at the dance floor, with grounded rhythms, melodic teases, and low end you know is gonna make the bass-bins wobble. Offset by a stab-loaded dancehall beat and a merciless 140 club killer on the A-side, the flip reels off low slung frequencies so solid you could cut them with a knife. One for the sweaty club basements and the warehouse raves alike!

Stepping out with Bristol's Sneaker Social Club, Tadd Mullinix pulls up under his 'X-Altera' cloak. Laying down a unique take to 90's jungle and hardcore on 'New Harbinger' EP.

Today we have title track 'New Harbinger' for your listening pleasure. A booming, amphibious cut intricately weaving wildlife atmospherics with raucous rhythms and boisterous, snarling sirens. A delicately twinkling, hair-bristling refrain is laced through in the latter stages for that final tear-jerking touch of togetherness. Essentially, 'New Harbinger' is engineered purely for massive moments only.
