For the second instalment of our new ode mix series we welcome @slouchomusic.

Sloucho is a singular artist on the electronic landscape, turning heads at AVA Festival, All Together Now, Transit Festival, and Boiler Room by transforming every space he enters with an enthralling audio-visual experience.

Sloucho’s identity is shrouded in mystery and buried beneath a tapestry of lore, granting him the freedom of a shapeshifting visual appearance and a genre-bending sonic palette that leads listeners down a trippy, bass-driven wormhole of pitched-up vocals, glitchy melodies, and frantic drumwork.


Ode Two : Sloucho

Built around an infectious, Grime-flecked synth riff, drums that sit somewhere between Funky and Techno, and a Pirate Radio sample from deep in the Bristol memory banks, 'Wile Up' continues the Hissian evolution into hitherto underexplored territory of the 140 BPM landscape, while still being an annoying shit...

Similarly, on the flip, 'YUH!' slaps iconic rave stabs over thumping 909 rimshots, but sneakily works in some Pulse X-inspired bass. Annoying he may well be, but he's definitely making some of the most exciting UK dance music around at the moment.

Sir Hiss - YUH!

Distant Roots & Hotcut - Wall Shaking (Oddkut Remix) (JUDDER)

'Come Sweet' is a track I made back in 2022. I never released it, but I've had a fair few people asking for it over the few years, so thought I'd stick it up as a free download for you lot! 

Rough and ready breakbeat euphoria. Enjoy!

"U See B" is a two-track micro EP born from the transatlantic synergy between Montréal-native Slow Tech activist SIM and Paris-based Wajang co-founder Siu Mata. Blending low-slung grooves with high-octane rhythms, the release distills the raw energy and sonic chemistry that sparked during their impromptu encounter.

The title track, “U See B”, sonically transposes the electric atmosphere of the recording session—punctuated by a dramatic dry lightning storm that unfolded above the French countryside—into a charged, pulsating experience designed to stir the notion of rhythm and tempo.

The B-Side, “Erotiks 101”, opens a window into a more seductive sonic terrain. Driven by warped percussion, fragmented vocal textures, and Trance aesthetics,, it invites the listener into a playful and provocative headspace—where tension meets release on the dancefloor.

Simultaneously spacious and hard-hitting, U See B channels the raw spontaneity of two artists meeting in the right place at the right time. A bold addition to the Wajang catalog, and a signal of what happens when grooves travel across borders.

SIM & Siu Mata - U See B

Jason Code’s Nervous Growl wasn’t born in a club. It started on a cold, rainy day in Seattle, when he pulled out some hardware to shake off a creative rut.

Let’s backtrack: Jason first learned to produce at 16 after falling for the bass and energy of early dubstep, fascinated by its overlap with hip-hop. After years of honing his sound – including releases on Scuffed Recordings, Ommaya Records and Future Everything, plus his self-released 2022 EP JC01 – he moved back to Seattle and began working as a lighting tech for after-hours parties like Research, High+Tight, and Second Nature. Those nights, with their long-form, hypnotic grooves, would have a huge impact on the production of Nervous Growl. Around the same time, he started throwing his own parties, investing in a soundsystem with friends, and creating a DIY space to help bolster the local scene and strengthen the city’s underground dance community.

It’s that same spirit – inclusive, DIY, and fiercely proud of its scene – that fuels Nervous Growl: as he puts it, “a rising tide lifts all ships.” Bringing together that formative love of proggy house and techno with the deep womps, think breaks, tripped-out vocal chops and breathy ASMR moments that have become his signature (put it this way: he’s not beating the ADHD allegations any time soon), Nervous Growl feels like the record that brings together all aspects of Jason’s musical make-up into a disharmonious whole.

This EP also features his best mixing work yet – tight, bass-forward club tracks that balance silliness, darkness, and sultry energy. The low end is king here – especially the chest-rumbling “growl” at the core of the title track – but there’s a wry humour running throughout the EP with details that reveal themselves on repeat listens. Nervous Growl is a record built for big systems and packed dancefloors, with Jason’s personality stamped all over it.
