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.

HØST's debut LP: The Sacred Grove lands on Renraku. 


The same type of smoked out and shadowy beats that have made HØST a household name for other labels like Sherelle's Hooversound, Noisia's Vision imprint and Rockwell's Obsolete Medium label shine through here as well. 

These are serious head nodding beats for only the most discerning palette. These are beats that have been dragged through the muck. Every sound suspended in amber like a 56 million year old mosquito. 
When we asked him about what the LP meant to him, he said this: “ the sacred grove is a deep dive into the music I love writing, Inspired by menhir and forest walks, along with long nights and induced mediation + 8000 808 patches”


With stand out tracks like LURKERS and AM2PM featuring that signature HØST sound palette, The Sacred Grove is a reflective, meditative, and ultimately vibe oriented journey through the lens of one of the UK's most promising beatmakers.

Weighing in with more of the deadly payloads that make systems weep, Alan Johnson return to Sneaker Social Club to finish what they started on 2022's The Stillness EP.

Gareth and Tom's sharp instinct for the fundamentals of crushing half-step pressure remain undiminished on this latest EP. Their sound palette reaches across contrasting strands of music culture, and every bar is teeming with micro details of sound design which give the tracks a living, breathing quality.

He has been experimenting and pushing the boundaries of uptempo music for the past 10 years and was featured on Samsara Beats' debut release, the 'Syncopation' various artist compilation, in 2018 with the track 'Traffic Flow’.

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.
