Next Okbron's 12'' will be presented by Scottish producers KMC & Future Engineers, who collaborated on several tracks in 90s era , two of which will finally be released. If it hadn't been for the preserved DATs, the release would probably never have happened. Artists talk in more detail about working on the tracks:

"At the time of writing these tracks we lived next door to each other. Back then, face to face collaboration was really the only way to work with other artists. This was of course a more hands on process and we were each able to bring our own skills and sound to the table.

1st Magnitude was written with 720 degrees in mind and was initially snapped up by Blame but then circumstances changed and unfortunately the release fell through. KMC wrote the bassline, off the back of his forward thinking bassline in Orbiting Probes. We knew that a driving bassline and deep, atmospheric music would be a winning combination of styles for the scene at the time.

Quasar was written specifically as the B side to 1st Magnitude and the aim was for it be intentionally something a bit diffferent. With the drums deriving from TMA-1 and the bassline injecting some future funk, the track delivered on what it set out to achieve. Although Quasar was not signed by any one at the time and went into the vaults until now.

Both tracks were written around the same time as another collaboration track, “Density” alongside fellow Scottish producer, Scarlet Lake. Density was the opening track of the KMC - Temple Records Mix. Unfortunately the DAT for Density was never kept and will remain unreleased.

Studio gear -
All the tracks were written using Akai Samplers. The drums derived from the Future Engineers track - Fragments that was released on Temple Music. The bass sound in 1st Magnitude was a one shot sample. Most of the musical elements and the bass sound for Quasar came from the JV-1080/2080. The ethereal strings and some effects came from the Korg Trinity.

This period of creativity marked the end of the collaborations between KMC and Future Engineers and KMC stepped away from the music scene to persue other endeavours. This relationship has been reformed over the years and the talk of new music again together is in the pipeline…" (c) KMC & Future Engineers

All False Coasts

DROOGS017 makes its return with a 12" courtesy of Quartz in the form of a razor-sharp two-tracker, showcasing his trademark precision and stripped-back engineering.

The A-side, “Duplicity,” is a masterclass in minimalism cold, skeletal, and immersive, driven by tight basslines and subtle rhythmic shifts. Quartz proves that less truly can hit harder.

On the flip, “Black Prism” a collaboration with Overlook dives into raw ’90s techstep territory. Choppy breaks and haunting stabs build relentless pressure before giving way to a surprisingly blissful finale.

Quartz continues to cement his reputation as one of drum & bass’s most distinctive modern voices.
