J-Path and WX team up once more for the latest CONFUCIAN release.
The Seoul-based label is at the forefront of the South Korean drum and bass scene, and is rapidly acquiring an international reputation for signing quality tunes from the deeper end of the genre.

Both artists have released extensively on the label (WX - AKA Wet Xeomi - has also released under the Xeomi alias and recently signed music to ProgRAM), and have managed to refine a distinctive minimal sound over time. Their latest release, inspired by images of abandoned ruins lost to the desert sands, is testament to this.

Dust Digger opens with a vast and expansive soundscape; glimmering arpeggios, arid pads, and an encroaching dissonance which dissipates before a skippy kick and warped, distorted bassline drive the track forwards. Elements from the introduction are periodically reintroduced, resulting in an ethereal-yetgroovy minimal stepper.

Conversely, Descendants of Filth is driven by off-kilter syncopated snares and kicks. Neuro-drived bass sound design fuse with complex synthetic drum patterns to produce a futuristic piece of hybrid jungle. 

Layers of pads, counter-melodies, and a continual evolving soundscape ensures that the track captures the feeling of an adventure into ancient and unknown lands. 

The two artists convincingly piece together an artistic project and repurpose their source material through the medium of drum and bass music.

I.T.Z - Velvet Gloom - SIRDUB011

Sir Dub Muzik welcomes back I.T.Z for his second release on the label: the Velvet Gloom EP. Across two cuts, he dives deeper into his darker side, blending heavy pressure with eerie atmospheres to shape a sound that’s unmistakably his own.

“Interzone” sets the tone with ghostly textures, sharp percussion, and a driving low-end that pulls the listener straight into its shadowy world. It’s cold, hypnotic, and built for the system.

Flipping over, “Ilmu Hitam” (Malay for black magic) brings a rawer energy. Menacing sound design and rolling basslines twist around ritual-like percussion, summoning an intensity that feels both ancient and futuristic.

With Velvet Gloom, I.T.Z sharpens his vision—two tracks that balance weight with atmosphere, and mark another step forward.

Ilmu Hitam

Are you MAD? Substance and Kowta have joined forces to create an EP so diabolical, it makes Lucifer look like the Cheshire Cat. Demons is here to unsettle your soul, disturb your dreams and ultimately lose your futile grasp on what you perceive to be reality. 

These tunes are gnarly, murky and damn right sinister to their core - with devilish production intricacies scattered throughout the five demonic works. 

Lead single The Infiltrator is a 140 bpm deep dubstep banger - ready to infiltrate any rave.
