The follow-up to last year's 'NQ State of Mind' mix project is headed by two of The North Quarter's most enduring artists: Redeyes and Fox. Mixtapes represent an important symbol of the formative years of many of the artists on this Amsterdam-based label and so it's only right that the tradition is continued by Redeyes and Fox, who both have a long history as music enthusiasts. Consisting solely of TNQ music - including 10 exclusives - this is NQ State of Mind, Vol 2.

  Throughout 31 tracks, mixed by 'smooth operator' Redeyes and backed with Fox's uplifting vocals, this is a journey through The North Quarter's five year catalogue. All artists that make the label the respected entity it is today are featured as well as some unexpected faces. The 10 exclusive tracks will be released on a 2x12” gatefold LP to accompany the mix.

Mustard Music proudly presents Do It Yourself, the new album from Cornwall-based producer Oli Lewis — a release that steps confidently outside the label’s usual drum & bass funk lane and into something more raw, personal, and uncompromising.

Balancing life as a professional chef by day and a producer by night, Oli Lewis embodies the true spirit of independence. The title Do It Yourself is more than a name — it’s a philosophy that runs through every layer of the record. Written, produced, and crafted in his own meticulously curated analogue studio, the album reflects a hands-on approach that values texture, warmth, and process as much as energy and impact.

Sonically, Do It Yourself leans into a deeper, more stripped-back side of drum & bass. While still rooted in the genre’s foundations, the album explores heavier atmospheres, analogue grit, and a moodier palette than Mustard Music’s trademark funk-led sound. Hardware-driven basslines, tactile drum programming, and subtle imperfections give the tracks a human edge — music made with intent rather than formula.

Living and working in Cornwall has also left its mark. There’s a sense of space and isolation woven into the record, contrasting sharply with the high-pressure kitchen environments that fund Oli’s creative output. That tension — between routine and release, structure and freedom — fuels the album’s character.

Do It Yourself stands as a statement of authenticity: drum & bass created outside the mainstream, built in an analogue workspace, and shaped by an artist who refuses to wait for perfect conditions before creating. For Mustard Music, it marks a bold and refreshing step into new territory.

Celsius Recordings - 2016 Recap

Don't Look Back (Bcee & Saxxon Remix)

Welcome Noissier on Einmusika. The lithuanian artist comes up with an exciting three track up full of groovy sounds and epic textures.

"Your Love" has a catchy vocal next to a laid back beat. "Crossroads" is deamy and melancholic with vocal effects and detuned lead sounds. "Lucid Dream" is more forward and features a progressive bassline and mysterious arpeggiators.

Your Love

SFD075 – East LA Tek – Wormhole EP

Mr.C & Noel Jackson as East LA Tek are back again with yet another 3 slices of next level Techno & Electro for their Wormhole EP. 

We kick off here with Vortex, which is an absolute Techno monster. Tough beats & a rugged bass-line carry tripped out pads, synth twitters, subtle melodic percussion & the sickest acid lines giving us some driving peak time action. 

Next up Semantics takes up where Vortex left off. Tough beats, yet another rugged bass-line & this time tribal percussion create the backbone. Eerie pads swell setting the feeling for the quirky acid to take us away with.

Lastly comes Rubicon, up-tempo electro at it’s finest. Off beats, sub-bass & an acid bass-line set up the warm rich deep pads to carry the trippy acid melodies that will float you away.
