RV - WD-40

Illegal Shipment joins the ranks for WORSHIP004, delivering attitude fueled 2-step heaters with unnerving undertones - authentically infusing elements of dubstep and grime akin to the aesthetics of late 90’s and early 00’s mutations of UK garage.

Drawing from the more aggressive sounds of early bassline, “Cheque It” opens with kick led grooves and sharp drums, evolving in the latter half to abyssal bass hits with shimmering synths offering a lighter contrast in the mix.

“Fight It VIP” is a heads-down lights-off-in-the-basement tool with creeping synths 
& stuttering 2-step complemented with pulsing, sub-shaking, warped bass. Short breaks give way to abrasive samples and disquieting stabs. 

Dripping in old-school flavour, the digital bonus track “Nuff Talk” brings punchy kicks, slowed vocal samples, and gritty bass lines together with playful ease and a warm, rough-around-the-edges aesthetic.

FKOF Premiere! 

Stoked to premiere new French imprint @baitlabel and their debut release from @hyaser. In their own words, Bait is "a French label focused technoïd-dubstep fitting the likes of artists like Killawatt & Ipman, Kryptic Minds or even Pinch. It's groovy, it's trancy, it's the melting pot of exciting genres resulting in a deep and dark soundscape fit for the club."

This is the first tune from BAIT01EP, with the second from @artroniks coming shortly after. You can pre-order via the buy-link, or wait for the EP to drop 30/06/23. 

ICYMI, label boss @beatrice-triste guested on this month's FKOF Sessions show with an hour long techno/ dubstep/ everything in-between mix. Check it for a taste of what Bait has to come!

"Up first, we've got French-bass talent @hyaser, capable of mastering any kind of UK-influenced genre, whether it's garage, dubstep, jungle or breaks. Alongside his beautifully groovy track, we've got legend ARtroniks back with his unique sound: unclassifiable cross-breed dubstep. His track 'Tension' certainly lives up to its name. It's an honour to have him on the label, as his production were a huge influence in the artistic direction."

Soulless

Hyas - Soulless (BAIT01EP) [FKOF Premiere]

1/2 of Traces and LDN bass-fiend Theorist returns to our Debuts series with a wicked cut of emotive, percussive techno brimming with post-dancehall flavour. 

Mesmering hypnotics, teeth-clattering bass and Theorist's trademark aesthetics shine through on this tool designed to bridge the gap between 110-120BPM.

Everything this guy sends us is fire so we'd highly recommend you keep tabs on him via his socials below.

4. Kapha - Fog Signal

Next up on eatmybeat is Birmingham’s own, Delta. We’ve had a keen eye on this guy for some time, particularly as his flavour draws from the broad sound palette that eatmybeat specialises in, to include dubstep, UK bass, grime and techno. This is best expressed by his recent mix for Innamind Recordings on Bristol platform SWU, or by his recent releases on Locus Sound and LDH Records. On this occasion, Delta serves up two original plates, complete with a flip from EMB longtime collaborator, Kahter.
