You might not have come across this little bandit-masked songbird before. To be fair, its name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue - this is a 'Eurasian penduline tit'. Its elaborate name comes from the equally-elaborate hanging "pendant" nests they weave from animal fur, plants, wool, and spider webs. Although small, they build incredibly strong structures. Their nests can withstand winds of 80 kilometers per hour, and in the past were even made into children's slippers in parts of Europe. Right now the Eurasian penduline tit specifically isn't endangered, probably because humans don't have that much "use" for their reeded riverbank and marsh homes, but populations of other songbirds like them are suffering from habitat loss and illegal poaching. We need to safeguard the earth’s biodiversity and protect these tiny-but-mighty inhabitants. One way to do so is by donating all proceeds to Greenpeace.

In Head First, Akuratyde crafts a sonic narrative that reflects the whirlwind of emotions he felt during his first year as a new father. From the sleepless nights to the overwhelming affection, each track serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges and joys of parenthood. Drawing upon his signature blend of drum & bass, ambient, and IDM, he seeks to capture the essence of fatherhood – the moments of chaos, the flashes of inspiration, and the overwhelming sense of purpose.

Head First is available worldwide on April 5th.

Akuratyde - Four Walls

Last week's Sunday marked the end of the Month, which means we were having over a member of the Flux/x community again for their Mix/xed by Flux/x show.

And for this episode, Leiden based techy dnb connoisseur Flexusz took the lead in hosting the live stream. She did not step into the booth on her own though, because she invited Amsterdam based DJ Marise van Noordenne, aka: MΛN!

MΛN is making waves in recent years playing the more dark and "obscure" kind of drum and bass and jungle flavours for a variety of events and platforms like DNBRADIO.com, Inversion, Curated By, Goat Shed, Vortex, Tribe and many more.

Flexusz: 'MΛN has been one of my favourite dj's for a while now so it only made sense to invite her!'

With these 2 excellent DJs and their unique taste of drum and bass and jungle music, it was a great session. Enjoy!

Awakening

🌪️ Force of the Future Vol.3 🌪️

We’re back with another heavyweight instalment of our flagship series, and this one’s stacked with four fresh-faced rising stars who are about to shake up your playlists.

Kicking things off is Fabric8 - Scum. Aptly named, this one’s pure gutter business, dark, deep, and dripping with that grotty DnB flavour, but twisted through Fabric8’s unique lens.

Next up, Fusion Season - Intense. The name says it all. Huge production, razor-sharp execution, standout business from a talent who’s turning heads fast.

Third in the lineup, GRIBR & Trapped - Texts. Collab energy at its finest - a catchy vocal hook sets the tone before dropping into an all-out grot fest that hits hard.

Closing the EP, Kefrennnn - Hostage. Oozing style, blending multiple influences effortlessly, this unknown name won’t stay unknown for long.

We pride ourselves on showcasing the best of tomorrow’s talent, and Force of the Future Vol.3 is proof we’re raising the bar once again.

REPTILE

Taken from Omen Rising, Sam KDC's debut LP for Horo. Out now on Omen marbled 2x12" and digital - https://horo.lnk.to/omenrising

Releasing music since 2009 as Sam KDC, British artist Samuel Wood has grown into one of electronic music's most passionate developers of the outer edge. In recent years, Sam has been an integral part of the Grey Area label and sound, a creative musical pathway that ties a musical bridge between 85 and 128 bpm with crafty polyrhythms. As further evidence of his versatility, his debut LP 'Late Night Innominate' Vol 1 (2015 - Auxiliary) was an entirely ambient long player which found favour across the electronic music world for its emotive power.

Omen Rising, Sam’s debut LP for Horo is also his first full length record to focus entirely on beat driven work. The album further incorporates the occult themes Sam has been using as pervading signifiers since his 2014 EP ‘The Order and the Entity’. Musically, Omen Rising sees the Grey Area sound re built into a hurtling fireball of energy stretching the constraints of what we know as Techno until the straps are blown off. 

Omen Rising is a confident showcase from an artist who has found a defining sound and is revelling in his ability to develop it entirely out on his own.
