Utopia's long anticipated 15th single brings forth DLR onto the label roster. The B side is a stepped-out-rolled-out vibe with DLR taking the solo lead on this one.  Naughty bass and a tight break keep the energy moving nicely.

Supported by Goldie, Doc Scott, Break, LTJ Bukem, Spectrasoul, Friction, Total Science and many esteemed others.

Ed Rush & Optical - Ride The Beast

Following up on his 2015 Seeing Sounds LP for Dispatch Recordings, the Bristol-based DLR brings the heat once again with the absolutely stunning 14-track Dreamland album project. Conceptually organized around the desire to help listeners break free from the societal chains that bind them, DLR not only seeks to “challenge the barriers and comfort zones” on a musical level, but hopes to inspire people to “resist the inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into; an inherently greed based system, where numbers govern art and culture, whilst popularity determines the success of social causes, as issues are picked up and dropped in the blink of an eye.”
While the album doesn’t drop until next week be sure to check this exclusive premiere of DLR’s untouchable collab with Break, titled 'Wonder What It Feels Like.' From the crisp percussion-driven intro that paves the way for a shuffling groove and subtle tech-driven hook, this head-nodding, ass-shaking, crunchy cut is guaranteed to blow your socks off.

PREMIERE: DLR 'Wonder What It Feels Like’ (ft. Break)

'LEVEL!!!! Is killer just killer' - Goldie

Representing all corners of the globe from New Zealand, Germany and the UK, this summer sees the release of 'LEVEL' feat. The Upbeats and 'BLOCK' feat. Phace, the second instalment on Rockwell's newly founded imprint, OBSOLETE MEDIUM. Continuing from where 2018s User and "CONTENT" EPs left off, Rockwell enlists his friends and frequent collaborators into the OBSOLETE MEDIUM fold, with two tracks that continue to investigate the distorted, granular, and futuristic soundscapes which punctuate Rockwell's work. 

"One of the main reasons I started OBSOLETE MEDIUM was to make it easier to write and release music with my mates. There is nothing like catching a vibe in the studio and rolling out something grungy with one of your good friends, and both LEVEL and BLOCK are great examples of this"
