True child of the soulseek generation, @pura_pura 's roots crawl deep into juke and footwork, via Miami bass, gangsta rap and bass-loaded contemporary club. Currently one of France’s fastest rising beatmaker, this daredevil drops bangers-only sets over the country as well as regular appearances on Rinse and Pinata Radio, always spiced with his hyper club edits of Ice Spice to Kraftwerk via Yussef Dayes.

Using soundscapes and noises recorded on his iPhone between his flat and music studio in Montpellier, these 5 tunes are shaped around a particular time of a contemporary club night, from punchy house to peak time breaks. This for-the-club release is Pura Pura’s debut on Global Warming Records, and an obvious connection from people who love building constant bridges between UK and France.

SnappyJR - Bass Line

Blurry in the Background is a genre-bending exploration of identity, presence, and artistic resilience in a world oversaturated with noise. Fusing elements of electronic, dubstep, hip hop, ambient, downtempo, and trap, this EP doesn’t chase trends—it dissolves them, reforming sound into something raw, personal, and refreshingly new.

The project draws inspiration from the feeling of fading into the static—of being present, yet unseen. A female figure flickers in and out of existence in a digital studio, mirroring the artist’s own fight to stay defined amid shifting industry standards and fleeting moments of validation. It’s a sonic statement about refusing to blur out, even when the world wants to pixelate your truth.

Each track feels like decoding a message from deep within the noise—untangling the chaos of expectations, impostor syndrome, and the ache for authenticity. Blurry in the Background isn’t about being overlooked. It’s about choosing to stay in the frame on your own terms, refusing to disappear just to fit in.

This is music for the fringe dwellers, the genre hybrids, the voices too vivid to be background noise.

More Time Records continue Timewarp, their run of 12 releases in 12 weeks, with a 3-track EP from Bristol based UK Funky producer aæe. His previous contribution to the label (last year’s raucous Switchblade EP, in collaboration with Bandi) was widely supported in the club by the likes of Martyn, Skream, Toddla T, Emerald and many more. 

aæe is a regular feature at club night’s in Bristol, also running his own series of events ESO which covers a wide range of music across the bass music spectrum. 

Dance Rituals begins with the rowdy ‘Pull It’ which is driven by a gritty overpowering bassline which still maintains enough warmth to sound sonically pleasing. “There wasn’t a lot of obvious influences for me on this track as it happened very quickly. I’d say if anything it would have been mainly from DJ Champion’s swing style drums and old-school growling basslines that I drew my inspiraton.” 

‘Get Up’ is originally a track made specifically for Skream’s UK Funky special on Rinse. It is another UK Funky banger but Jair pushes the sound to its limit, with a main ultra-garish synth line which has been tried and tested to move dancefloors. 

On the final track, ‘Drop’ which runs at 160 bpm, aæe utilises the signature “tribal” More Time sound and re-imagines it at a much faster tempo. “The influences for this one was mostly from artists like Dub Phizix and LEVELZ. I love the way their tracks punch through the mix with really heavy subs grabbing everyone’s attention in a club when it drop.” 

aæe’s productions pack bags of energy and he is definitely a name to look out for in the future.
