The Chikara Project strikes again with an impressive silky release that's bound to be left on repeat. Chikara welcomes Haida to the label with his debut EP, "Don't Need A Title". We chose to Premiere @mysticstate remix which has been left on repeat since they sent it over. 

"When Haida, an enigmatic figure who resides in the islands of British Columbia, sent us "Don't Need A Title", we were immediately blown away.. The title track is a thick, powerful beast, with elements of UK garage, broken soul and early 2000's dubstep all fused together into a truly unique track, with an absolute earworm of a vocal hook. "Tribunal" walks a more introspective path, with organic, tough percussion, ethereal melodies and gritty reece chops. To round off the release, label heads Mystic State flipped the titular track into a 160bpm crawler, with their signature clean drums, reverberated atmospheres and warm basslines."

Don't Need A Title EP

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄 : Haida - Don't Need A Title (Mystic State Remix) (CKRA026)

Traversing the stereo spaces beyond his traditional catalog, Duffrey has been at the forefront of an aural and social injection of drum-and-bass into the bloodstream of the wider bass music landscape. Brandishing a reputation for rhythmic swagger and tight instrumental interplay, his pronounced characteristics find a natural home at elevated bpm’s, delivering both an homage to and an evolution on the sound at the center of the Shred the Infinite EP.

Marrying a system-tested and storied palette to a newfound frenetic pace, Duffrey weaves between neuro, liquid, and glitched-out overtures across the EP’s runtime. The positive contrast between the aggressive, churning breakdowns and generous melodic phrases keeps the listener gliding through the meta-terrain of each track’s attitude and atmosphere, pushing and reshaping the journey across each downbeat. With the pristine presentation of these four interlocking drum-and-bass adventures, the Duffrey catalog continues to fill out the novel paths between kinetic synthesis and tried, trusted dance floor sensibilities, with Shred the Infinite becoming the latest stepping stone in an ongoing quest to move minds and bodies in tandem

The Chikara Project is back once again with another impressive release. We were so stunned by how great this release was we couldn't chose just one track to premiere. Our first choice is a collaboration with Jack Flynn - Oakley (FKA as JFO). Without even listening to this tune we knew it was going to be good. Two names we have seen work together before, and two very strong names on their own. This deep sound system rumbling tune is complimented with dark mid basses accompanied by melodic soundscapes. Contrasting both a light and dark sound that makes you truly feel something.


"Mystic State return to their own imprint The Chikara Project with their first solo release in nearly a year, the “Stutter” EP. Comprised of four tracks which perfectly summarize the trajectory the duo’s sound has taken over the past few years, the “Stutter” EP is Mystic State’s most confident, mature and accessible release yet."

Presenting Poztman's debut album on Outtallectuals, "Blood, Steel & Rust"; a powerful tale of resilience and the human spirit’s tenacity in the face of catastrophe. The album tells the story of Alix and his village's struggle to rebuild after a catastrophe, blending biopunk folklore and dark avant-garde electronic music across various genres. 

The narrative, rich with themes of resilience and community, showcases Poztman's signature mix of IDM, neuro beats, and cinematic tribal elements. The EP follows from the Rites Of Calling EP, released via Outtallectuals in 2020.

This is an ages-old remix I did for @karnagejp and @mark-iv-official. It's always been a personal fave of mine, but figured it was time to set it free, so here's a download.

Huge shout out to @karnagejp and @mark-iv-official for agreeing.
