We’re delighted to welcome these two Australia based producers to the Samurai family with Onyx - a 4 track EP that delivers a blend of tight edits, chest heavy bass, and intricate sound design. Pugilist & Tamen combine nostalgia with forward-thinking production and Onyx traverses a rich landscape of jungle-rooted moods. 

Onyx introduces a step forward in the duo's production, utilising sculpted distortion as an instrument. Seen on 3 of the 4 tunes, this approach adds a temperative tension as the tunes give the impression they have gone too far into the distortion no go zone but ultimately finding a balance that compliments and enhances the tunes overall sound pallette perfectly.

Raw and direct with rich layers and honed grooves that ultimately mark the tunes as memorable, Onyx is on a new level for Pugilist & Tamen.

BEAR-DNB (CONTROL YOUR MIND) VIP!!

No. 7 from the Sanity Check VA and inspired by an actual flat car tire which led to the creation of this song, Falcon’s “Flat Tire” is the result of an artistic exploration focussed on a more old school approach to a drum & bass track. 

it incorporates classic D&B sounds and rhythms while maintaining that signature Falcon sound that keeps giving and intensifying until the very end!
