Khz Presents ‘Various Artists Vol.2’

We are back with the second edition of the Various Artist's series alongside 8 of our very own Aotearoa producers each bringing their own unique sound to the table.

Spanning over a range of sub-genres and sounds, KHZVA002 is curated to bring a listening experience like no other, by filtering through dubbed out soundscapes to dark, sub-heavy tones this VA is our most vibrant release to date.

STRX004: Satellite Trax presents “DMSAT EP” - a collection of dancefloor weaponry from renowned Serbian and Montenegrin crew TRAKA.

Out now on all major platforms: ffm.to/strx004

For the fourth presentation of club-centric sonics through our young sublabel, we set out in search of a new addition to our roster that would surely raise the bar. The timing aligned perfectly with our introduction to TRAKA, a team consisting of three producers and a visual artist. Brought together by Belgrade’s niche underground music and graffiti scenes, their story resonated with ours - a group of friends seeking expression through multiple mediums, surrounded by the chaos of urbanism.

Although relatively new to our ecosystem, TRAKA have been making heavy waves in a short span of time. Within the last three years, they collaborated with heavyweight vocalists like Killa P and Warrior Queen, were remixed by the legendary Commodo, and had songs appear on various radio shows and DJ sets across the globe. Their A/V projects on accomplished label Yuku have established their sound, lying comfortably between modern bass elements and foundational club music. They are unafraid to push a sense of aggression on the floor, while still honing pristine production tactics to create a unique yet recognizable style. This can be heard throughout “DMSAT EP” - a showcase of their standard formula devoted to be more club-accessible.

“DMSAT EP” not only pushes TRAKA to excel in the club music sphere, but also welcomes both familiar and fresh ideas to our imprint. Utilizing hardware to achieve a sense of analog grittiness is something we have advocated throughout our catalog. The newer concepts come with the slower tempo in “47000” and “XE,” which bring forth a heavy, almost experimental hip-hop factor to the equation. Their basslines are punishing, while the vocal sampling blends perfectly with sluggish yet rowdy percussion. “A” serves as a summary of the overall feel to the EP, recruiting another Belgrade-based up-and-comer Praktikal for support. “Rolando” is an ode to the flagship Roland TR drum machines used throughout the project. Its drum work is playful, yet ends up contributing to the peak in energy. “Jungle Machete Fever” builds on this with high-octane breakbeats and rattling bass, a track that has already seen playtime on dancefloors around the world.

Purely influenced by the movement of urban environments, TRAKA have cemented their sonic capabilities with a compelling collection of club-ready tracks. Through a newfound burst of inspiration through the medium of dance, they are swiftly becoming a force to reckon with. Their affirming rise to the spotlight is both exciting and well-deserved, one that we felt would fit well with our label’s mission.

Satellite Trax: an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere.

We Are Satellite Era. We Are Worldwide.

Gimme A Break Records have proudly announced their first release of 2024, teaming up with London-based producer An Avrin to deliver his “Spelunkerer” EP, a collection of mind-boggling leftfield-club productions accompanied by an equally spectacular remix from Leeds-based Stolen Velour. With previous releases on Scuffed Recordings, Slippery Sounds and Erbium Records, An Avrin has developed an unmistakably unique production style characterised by clean sampling, intricate detail, heavy bass and contorting rhythms. Alongside his highly-acclaimed label releases, An Avrin has also garnered substantial attention from the underground club scene through his self-releases and edits, with his flip of Darude’s “Sandstorm” dominating the summer DJ circuit in 2023.

An Avrin once again showcases his inventive production on GABD014. “Cobbert Webb” kickstarts the EP with a monstrous collision of rolling breakbeats and growling basslines, interspersed with Baile-influenced rhythms which only add to the track’s dramatic tension. An Avrin firmly puts his stamp on the modern Electro sound via the EP’s title-track, swiftly followed by the eclectic “Bup” which fuses Techno and Electro drum programming with Grime vocal samples. Following a deceptively innocent introduction, “Conduit” descends into a raucous leftfield take on the Breakbeat / UKG crossover style that has dominated the UK’s underground club scene in recent times. Stolen Velour closes out GABD014 with a spectacular remix of the EP’s title-track. In line with An Avrin’s own disregard for genre boundaries, the Leeds-based producer fuses UK Funky rhythms with Grime bass patches to perfectly complement the diverse sonic palette demonstrated across the EP.
