Next up on Modern Ruin is a 4 track EP from Infekto - an alias of Finnish bass music stalwart, Rico Tubbs. These two inventive originals taking influence from uptempo bass music are ably supported by remixes from Modern Ruin regulars in Sideswipe and The Renegades.  

Escape is a mellow breakbeat track, peppered with a thick subbass that is soon supplemented by a male vocal asking to ‘be free’, much like the carefree and airy vibe of this song.

Phuture is a jungle extravaganza, harking back to the late 90s in feel, while exemplary in quality of execution. Old school arpeggios support a jungle breakbeat and high pitched vocal throughout this tune.

Escape then gets the classic treatment from The Renegades as a trendy crossover between jungle and footwork, seamlessly transitioning between the two as acid and rave stabs intertwine.

Sideswipe gets the last say in this EP with his remix of Phuture which wastes no time in going right into footwork as a gritty midrange teases the listener.

Canada's Philthkids arrives on Modern Ruin Records with Cyber Sapiens, a 4 track EP showcasing their diverse styles.

Title track 'Cyber Sapiens' plays out like the soundtrack to a sci-fi sequence which reaches a feverish conclusion, peppered with acid like synths throughout.

'Power Supply' is a breakbeat infused extravaganza, minimal in nature but classy in execution, throwing back to the early days of jungle music.

'The Core' is a nod to what Philthkids are best known for - tension filled ghettotech music supported by sweeps and spacey chords.

'Memory' is a collaboration with BSMNT and is a melodic crossover of footwork and jungle, equal parts breaks and bass.

Modern Ruin Records brings together a follow-up release from Canadian ghettotech heroes, Philthkids, ‘Futura’.

Opening track ‘Openup’ is an introspective, controlled and cultured roller, peppered with percussion and the warmth of the sun.

Title track ‘Futura’ is all about the breaks and follows from the mellow momentum of the opening track. 

The switch-up is apparent with ‘Status 3’, where the Philthkids machine is on an all out sonic assault. 

‘Wanderers’ rounds up this solid release with a mildly jungle influenced footwork riddim, guiding the eager listener to the close.

"Plot Twist’s new EP maintains the warm, meticulous and detailed production we’ve come to know him for; however, we find him here applying his signature sound to a four-on-the-floor feel. These four tracks are designed for the club and look steady towards the future while paying homage to Detroit techno and ghettotech." - Philthtrax
