Out of Fuel return for their third and most sonically diverse outing yet on Translation with the Constellations EP, featuring collaborations with Fuj and Akinsa. The Finnish duo have spent the better part of a decade exploring the deeper and more experimental side of the 170 spectrum in their Helsinki-based studio, in their DJ sets abroad, and on their monthly IDA Radio show - Harmaa - which navigates the grey area between deep drum & bass and techno, often eschewing genre completely to explore the outer edges of electronic music. The amalgam of influences shines brightly on every track, from the half-time sounds of Background Radiation, to the deep and rolling title-track, Constellations, and the hypnotic, slow-burning Gravity Well.
Artwork for this release comes courtesy of graphic designer, producer, and Ground Mass / Air Mass label boss Mark Kloud whose brilliant linocut can be found on a limited set of t-shirts and hand-pressed prints. Tracks mastered by Resound.

It’s been a minute, but Sneaker Social Club is gassed to facilitate the return of the mighty House Of Black Lanterns, locking in for the dankest 2-step flex in a sincere ode to pirate radio culture. Dylan Richards has always displayed an affinity for low-end pressure threaded through his versatile HOBL output on Houndstooth and his prior work as King Cannibal, but he’s never dialled in to UKG with this much focus before.
 
The A side comes on strong with ‘Back To Back Special’, a dark garage creeper with negative space so vast it becomes all consuming — all the better for the ample MC toasting and spring reverb FX splashes to ping out around the skeletal, hard-knocking swing and snarling bass. ‘Out To The Private Number’ maintains the theme, flipping soulful UKG tropes into an ice-cold update for these malevolent times. 
 
On the flip, Richards pushes the formula further out with ‘Slew’, which deploys hardcore-minded bass hooks in a devilishly dissected rhythmic framework and amps up the yard intensity on the MC source material to create a deadly intersection of garage, rave and dancehall. ‘Summon Like’ dials up the eeriness and lets the growl of the bass take centre stage in a potent, unnervingly minimalist dance wrecker that simply confirms the crystal clear vision Richards is pursuing on this record. 
 
It’s a devout love letter to the edgiest of garage’s golden era without being limited to a simple genre study. Instead, a broad church of soundsystem exaltation gets expressed through the Richards’ elevated production vocabulary, capturing the shockout, mind-blowing spirit of the most trailblazing plates when they first got dropped on an unsuspecting crowd.

M Ocean proudly presents DJ Andy Bass Music Academy: Rise of Brazil — a powerful showcase of Brazil's cutting-edge Drum & Bass scene. Curated by the renowned DJ Andy, this compilation will deliver 18 brand-new tracks from some of the country’s most exciting and innovative producers.

The journey kicks off with DJ Andy teasing his darker side as the track builds. Elegant melodies sweep over a catchy vocal loop, adding to the suspense leading up into the drop. Designed with the dancefloor in mind, “Controllers” is sure to be a favourite. 

With a foreboding intro, RCA “Save Me” captivating from the get-go, light tones fill the track, matched with poetic lyrics and an alluring delivery will draw the listener in again and again.

Keeping the energy peaking, Marqez delivers “Transistor”— a track that’s both ominous and hypnotic old school energy, feel the rumble!. With a dirty sinister build-up and an even darker payoff, it's a certified dancefloor destroyer that sets the bar sky-high.

Following on Baska brings a dark, gritty roller, high-energy anthems, captures the raw intensity and underground.

Ending with B.M.A is a high-energy track that fuses breakbeat rhythms and DNB, the production is clean but raw, driven by a prominent bassline.  
Covering the full spectrum of Drum & Bass, Rise of Brazil  is the sound of the next generation, and it’s coming in loud!
