@awo_ojiji debuts on Control Freak for the long awaited return of our White Label series with his ‘Solidify EP’ - four percussive, wonky & propulsive club cuts, complete with a remix from label heads Customer Service & Finnaman.

Based out of Graz, Austria, Awo Ojiji has been quietly carving out his own lane in the leftfield techno & bass music world. Distinct, detailed and fundamentally genre-fluid, his oddball productions cross a range of stylistic influences and tempos, purpose built for the explorative DJ.

Early support on this one from Laksa, re:ni, Gramrcy & more - very limited pressing of just 300 hand-stamped records - don’t miss your chance to grab one.

Awo Ojiji - Solidify EP [WLFRK003] - Previews

Slaloming between stations since early 2022, @tra_verse is an Amsterdam–based radio series and a music platform led by @lolobatten. Now expanding into a label, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée.

We are thrilled to premiere one of the VA's tracks by @phobhorecords’ honcho @matteocoffetti, a deconstructed digi–jumble landscape full of bubbling basslines, dizzy polymeters and twisted vocal chops.

traversée 01 is set to release on May 31.

Premiere: Matteo Coffetti — yoosa poly twist

Like tectonic plates, Siu Mata's music is in constant motion. Having made a name for himself across the global underground club scene for his exceptional versatility and genre-bending productions, in Amasia EP he turns the Earth’s kinetics into an ever-changing sound exploration which fuses psychedelic dub textures and compelling rhythms, forming a dynamic narrative universe.

Shifting, flowing, evolving, always on the move and in perpetual search of new forward-thinking sonic creations, each track is named after a period in the formation of continents, evoking the idea of never-ending fusion and evolution, both on the surface of the Earth and in music.

The cast of “Stray Observations” finds itself in a new, somehow even darker timeline.  Originally assembled during the early COVID pandemic, this new collection of tunes from the Ridgewood crew have expanded through refined ideas, tighter production techniques and acute empathy for an unprecedented world.  When everything feels so hopeless, where does art exist?  Is there a space for electronic music?  For raving?  The artists of “Stray Observations Volume 3” don’t necessarily answer these age-old queries directly but lend different moods, environments and places to ponder these thoughts.  From bouncing three-movement tech house to Aphex Twin downtempo worship, this compilation offers the spectrum of emotions and thoughts splintering out from the contemporary mind.

Laenz joins EMA’s beloved Woozy family with After Sunset; an extended player of haunted dub architecture, set out within a found-sound planetarium of deconstructed rhythms and textural deviancy. Seminal UK producer and Hemlock Recordings’ founder Untold also features with his first remix in 9 years.

Brooklyn-based Laenz reimagines the expansive structures of her native city as aural scaffolding, reconstructing indeterminate spaces via an emotional rendering process of world building. It’s music that explores the duality of shape and unform, immersed in traditions of sound design and latter-day UK broken beat techno binded by a tender hauntology that’s sublimely immersive as it is intimately personal. After Sunset is her debut for EMA’s boundary-pushing Woozy imprint, following releases for Early Reflex, Rhizome and Eastern Margins, a project detailing elongated processes of varying intensities evoking a rawness which she described as a “war on the heart”. It’s a body of music that’s a direct portal into Laenz’ singular vision, and highlights her inimitable talent amongst the milieu of bass-leaning producers of New York and beyond.

Ballad Before The Break intros us with a garbled chug of out-of-body proportions, before Choices marches in with an uncanny half time of tense textures and After Sunset follows with trip-hop adjacent psychedelia gorged in subs. B-side opens with Echoes Until, a lurching wormhole of disorientating skank while wiL offers a gorgeous ambient epic circled by a percussion-heavy concrète of breakcore abstraction. Untold sees us out with a remix of Choices, a trip into his unrivalled sound world, buoyant by throbbing modulation and rolling kicks of pure surreality.

Axces Recordings presents the debut EP by CX, the producer alias of label affiliate Søren Kinch. The tracks on this release evoke a sense of melancholy and ethereal beauty, with a refined approach that complements the sound of modern club music. 

The three tracks—Formula, Cobra, and Plethora—share a common structure of fast-paced grooves with a patient progression throughout. However, while Formula and Plethora both create an airy and hypnotic atmosphere, Cobra stands out by combining soft vocals with a harsher sound reminiscent of Robert Leiner. 

As a teenager, Søren met Torsten aka Helmuth Kool (1976-2015), a beloved figure and promoter from Aarhus who profoundly influenced his approach to music and raves. They often traveled to Berghain in Helmuth's old Saab 900 with only 4 gears. On this EP, Søren has dedicated the final track to Helmuth, who sadly passed away way too young—A playful and soaring track that Helmuth would dance to at his afterparty in heaven. 

Vinyl will be released 13th of September

As we come to the end of our Hōseki Series, we’ve showcased a collection of some of the scene’s most sought after newcomer artists, all of whom have displayed their raw talent and presented their unique sound. We’ve had an unbelievable amount of support throughout this series, and it’s been a absolute joy to curate and release each instalment.

For the final episode of this saga, we wanted to do something truly special to celebrate the past 11 months. We’ve collected two exceptional tracks featuring some of the scene’s brightest stars. A combination of two fresh faces and the return of our very own core artists, presenting two tracks that perfectly capture the style and sound we love.

We’re over the moon to announce the arrival of Gui, DKN, Brain, and Fearful with their tracks Kaioken and The Final Step, two cuts that pay true homage to the underground sound that we love and mark a release we’re incredibly proud to share. These four artists have become household names over the past two years, consistently producing some of the finest music to emerge within the Drum & Bass scene

This one’s for the heads, the Bristek Steppa crew, and the Melodic Acid lovers alike.
