The young master that is Kublai is back to grace CIA once again. 
Fresh off the back of his solo and collaborative label debuts last year, we’re excited to bring you the next step in the development of sound of this Manchester based talent. With an ability to turn his hand to a whole wealth of styles, he’s a great fit for the label, always bringing something fresh and for a range of occasions. 
Deep, musical, rolling – Kublai always seems to have all the weapons at his disposal – and his new ‘Don’t Rush’ EP is no exception. He’s already got his drums on lock and the bass has got the necessary fizz and weight in spades too. And the song writing just keeps improving as he starts to really find his own palette. ‘Don’t Rush’ and ‘No Unity’ bring the rolling dancefloor vibe, while another collab with studio ally Minor Forms sees Jungle flavours bought to the fore. And an exciting meeting of minds and first linkup with young vocal talent Aaliyah Esprit on ‘Pushin’’ is one for the lovers, not the fighters. 
Kublai seems like he can do it all. We’re excited to bring you his next four heaters here with the new ‘Don’t Rush’ EP.

Aaron Payne & RMS - 'Pacific Dreams'

Known for having a weighty catalogue of compilation series, ProgRAM has introduced this releasing style as a way to explore the artists who help make the imprint a necessary outlet for the underground. Flying the flag internationally too for over a decade, tracks like Canadian Aaron Payne’s ‘Night to Day’ with RMS on ProgRAM’s ‘Pieces Pt. 2’ signifies its cross-continental appeal. It was the first time he stepped out under its influence with RMS and now they return with double-sided single ‘Pacific Dreams / Kanjiru’.

Whilst ‘Pacific Dreams’ merges progressive melodies amongst swelling bass rhythms and rolling drums, ‘Kanjiru’ translates its title meaning through crunching percussion and deep sweeping layers of synthesis. So once again, it’s time to get with the ProgRAM, with Aaron Payne and RMS kick starting the New Year.

In a music landscape torn between the Zoomer-led drum and bass revival and the guardians of its underground roots, Note has somehow managed to find his own lane. Since his debut in 2021, Note has left an indelible mark on the scene, recognized for his ever-evolving, soulful sound that effortlessly blends avant-garde jazz, hip-hop, and R&B into meticulously crafted drum and bass/jungle compositions.

In the midst of a frenetic drum and bass scene, Note sought refuge in authenticity, returning to The North Quarter to create his boldest and most diverse work to date. Drawing inspiration from post-impressionist art, 'Impressions Of A Still Life' unfolds like a series of vivid paintings, capturing the essence of stillness through lush instrumentation, deep bass, and chopped breaks.

In these five tracks crafted for the dance-floor, Note paints a vibrant portrait that celebrates the joy found in life's simpler, quieter moments. 'Impressions Of A Still Life' is not just an EP; it's a sonic journal that captures the essence of Note's journey towards authenticity, gratitude, and the blissful stillness at the heart of his music.
