The debut Pickled Trax release, South East Steppers, is prescribed by none other than Leeds’ own Dr. Monkey Finger! Serving up 4 crunchy jungle slammers that chart the spectrum of what PKDTRX represents: raw, unfiltered underground pressure.

[A1] Staubsauger sets the tone with an eerily dark, hoover-drenched jungle-tekno dubplate. Fully licensed… but still dangerous ya know?

[A2] Wet Cement is a slab of darkside jungle cut with clinical precision and heavy enough to crack any soundboy’s foundation.

[B1] Dyer Str8s is one of DMF’s earliest recordings for the SE14 massive and a certified PKDTRX classic. A stripped-back but blistering Amen chugger ruff enough to turn Hare Krishna himself into a bad bwoi.

[B2] Minz Geschmack closes us out with a rush of Leeds-meets-Berlin acid-jungle-techno chaos that’s seriously minty fresh and guaranteed to rip apart the dance.

With a flavour for everyone and plenty more releases already fermenting in the pipeline, this is just the beginning.

Underground forever, so pass the pickles.

South East Steppers [PKDTRX001]

Dr. Monkey Finger returns for our second excursion: Celestial Consensus. A five-track journey across atmospheric jungle that merges meditative space with restless propulsion. Expansive pads, intricate breakwork, and low-end pressure converge in deep orbit.

[A1] Aphelion Sunrise, lifts off with a sense of hope as the days grow longer. Bright synth leads and airy vocal fragments contrast against complex Amen choppage.

[A2] The Quiet Consensus, heavyweight reflective pressure built from a myriad of mangled breaks. True ’90s intelligent jungle for the modern dystopian age.

[B1] Solar Surfing, rides phased breaks awash with rich cosmic textures that crash up against gravitational waves.

[B2] Elastic Parallax, stretches time and space with richly layered atmospheres and glitched-out drums.

[B3] Celestial Dispatch, concludes the voyage with heavenly pianos floating atop dusty bass-lines transmitted from the outer rim of uncharted space.

Rooted in the lineage of early ’90s intelligent jungle while pushing into modern territory, Celestial Consensus balances weightless ambience with punching breaks. Designed for deep listening, late-night travel, and the wide-open void.
