Japanese explorer of the deep Dayzero is next up on Nerve Collect with his Step Inna EP, which brings six tracks of meticulously crafted post-dubstep rhythm and bass. 

Tokyo-based Dayzero has long been providing a link between the Far East and the UK underground. His futuristic sounds rewire dubstep, techno, breaks and bass with psychedelic colours and spaced out moods on leading labels like Livity Sound and ZamZam. He has a new album on the way this year, but first comes this latest intersection of body-driven, mind-expanding sounds.  

'Revival' is engineered for full-body movement. It's intelligent, instinctive and just a bit unhinged as watery droplets and a frazzled lead warp space and time while mangled bass drills down deep. 'Step Inna' skanks through a dystopian dreamscape with chanting dub vocals. They echo like encrypted mantras as calculated bass patterns ground the groove, percussive hits launch you skyward and then collapse inward. 'Antibody' has spring-loaded bass that rebounds under rogue circuitry while the rhythm stutters in broken, syncopated spasms below a smattering of wobbly toms.

'Remains' is highly pressured and kinetic, a thudding rhythm with overdriven tribal percussion pining you to the 'floor. 'Alignment' is a tectonic transmission sent back from tomorrow—mechanical yet organic, the bassline rumbles with subatomic weight beneath ghostly pads and static-charged synth lines. 'Gravity Phrase' is where ancient rag	a meets future bass culture. Stringy Indian melodies linger in the shuffling dub rhythms and wordless vocals drift like vapour trails in a soundscape where mysticism and machinery collide. 

This is an EP of precision-guided portals to the outer edges of bass music.

There is a way

@Tectonic label boss @Pinch joins forces with @Neffa-T for 'This Is This Isn't', taken from Tectonic's new compilation, an exhilarating 24-track journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, out on July 18.

The project is all killer no filler, and its list of luminaries is legion, with every artist in Pinch’s bulky rolodex bringing their A-game, as testament to the respect Tectonic commands. OG dons and new stars stand together for a show of force, boldly displaying a scene in rude health.

Premiere: Pinch & Neffa-T 'This Is This Isn't'

Part of the reason for the inception of this label was to platform not only my own productions, but also to have a vehicle for collaborators / friends and music I hold dear to my heart.

After the success of 001 I am very proud to present Ruff Kutz 002 - Pugilist & Tamen - Source.

Me & Luke immediately connected shortly after both moving to Melbourne around a similar time around 8 or 9 years ago. We immediately found a good working flow together and I can confidently say that we have both been massively influential to each other creatively. Source is our 5th collaborative EP and 10th record together as a production duo and I feel this EP is some of our best work yet!

The title track 'Source' is an ode to the more atmospheric Jungle anthems of innovators Source Direct - with a slightly dubbed out feel, retro aesthetics and nostalgic sampling. It culminates in a euphoric and hypnotic track, which whilst heavily referencing it's inspirations manages to be somewhat modern sounding.

In true Ruff Kutz fashion, the 2nd track on the A side 'Fuchsia' comes with an unexpected tempo drop - whilst continuing with the theme of the deep & melancholic tone of Source, but slightly more introspective and still within a jungle framework. The 2-step rhythm and...  more

Son of decay

Selecting for this show, I asked myself - what is my inner motivation?
Clearly I love to support sick music production with crispy sound designs, fine tuned bass & heavy but lightweight grooves. So, here we go - 1h mixtape representing the most delicious 140 stuff for your fancy soundsystems. 

Thx to @subardo crew for organising this, shouuttzzzz!

Subardo showcase - mʊdʌki | HÖR - August 8 / 2025

Parule taps in with a five-track EP that explores different tempos and ventures into new sonic territories while maintaining some of his signature elements.

Stoned Squirrel opens the EP with a slow, head-nodding groove driven by a filtered acid hook and rattling percussions.

Off Shore follows as a stripped-back roller, evoking a hypnotic, submerged atmosphere.
Chants nods to Parule’s earlier work—fast-paced electro that dances between breakbeats and squelching acid lines.

Laufbahn is stripped down, raw and agonizing. Like running in circles with a broken foot.
Fujiyama pushes into the 160 BPM realm, weaving in lyrics and vocal textures from ŽEN's "Lov na crne tipke", a track Parule obsessed over throughout the past year.
