Release Date: 3rd December 2021

Joining us for the 5th instalment of the Lost City Archives volumes is the one and only Main Phase. Going from strength to strength in the UKG scene. He's put together this EP showcasing his versatility over an array of styles.

Two ruffneck jungle dance floor killers, an Eski 2 step edit & for good measure a piece of 140 reminiscent of early DMZ. Safe to say this one will fly out.

Main Phase - Hear Them [LCA05]

On the 5th instalment of the Lost City Archives volumes is Denmark's own Main Phase. This EP showcases his production talents being able to turn his hand to anything from UKG all the way through to Jungle. We premiere the track ‘Choral’ from the upper tempos, a ruffneck jungle riddim and certified dance floor filler, pure Sound System business.

Arcane steps up for @rua_sound's prestigious Foxy Jangle series with an otherworldly jungle two-tracker

More info: https://djmag.com/listen/premiere-arcane-heaven-my-mind

Premiere:  Arcane ‘Heaven In My Mind’

Our latest premiere is an absolute masterclass in jungle rhythms as Arcane pushes boundaries with his latest track 'Curse of the Pharaohs' from the EP of the same name. Due out Dec 16th on the mighty Irish label Rua Sound / Foxy Jangle listen to it hear first.

His second foray into the Rua Sound and Foxy catalogue sees him push the boundaries of bass infused jungle rhythms, offering rolling breaks, alongside intricate melodies and percussive mastery.

This outing is on the Irish label's stellar jungle series, Foxy Jangle, which has previously featured luminaries such as Sully, Tim Reaper, and FFF. On this double-A release, Arcane marks out his space in the jungle landscape: hard precise drum programming backed with swooping basslines, with bright melodic leads throughout.

The Bristol-based producer is on a run right now, following the release of a collaborative EP with Jon 1st this month, and headlining the Rua Sound weekender last October.

The double track release is out December 16th, with the pre-orders for vinyl and digital available via the Rua Sound Bandcamp here. Don't sleep on it!

Four  Four Premiere: Arcane - Curse Of The Pharaohs [Rua Sound]

A true force of nature and Bristol legend, we’ve fondly witnessed him display the kind of range we love here at Timedance, covering everything from bouncy House to mind-warping peak time Techno via kaleidoscopic declinations of the  future facing Bristol bass sound. 

This long overdue debut on the label displays three jaw dropping numbers. Harvested for maximum stroboscopic efficiency, this EP is packed with Hodge’s anthemic signature hooks, bass weight for days and a truly singular approach to a forward rave sound. 

Summoning sirens from space, laser guided Grime-Tech and intoxicating explorations into peak time tempos, « Voice Crash » stands as the perfect interpolation of a producer we have revered for years and Timedance’s very own mission statement.

About time ! As you can imagine, we’ve been fans of Hodge since… forever ?

TIMEDANCE032 - re:ni - BeautySick

Having been part of the family for quite some time now, Lauren Bush aka re:ni joins the Timedance roster with an incredibly potent quartet of Techno infused bass-bin weaponry.

« BeautySick » sees re:ni plunging into a world of intoxicating serpentine grooves. Spectral vocal slabs chime like echoes of a distant hallucinatory trance, while industrial drumworks find a mesmerizing counterpoint in eerie dubwise atmospheres.

These four compositions not only showcase re:ni's evolution but also explore themes of confidence and feminine power, as well as the transient moments where darkness converges with light. They stand as a testament to the sonic prowess of one or favorite dancefloor sorceress.

Picture Hakime Sorayama’s ‘Sexy Robot’ in front of an unreasonably large stack of speakers at a dimly lit sound-system dance; this is the soundtrack.

Part of the reason for the inception of this label was to platform not only my own productions, but also to have a vehicle for collaborators / friends and music I hold dear to my heart.

After the success of 001 I am very proud to present Ruff Kutz 002 - Pugilist & Tamen - Source.

Me & Luke immediately connected shortly after both moving to Melbourne around a similar time around 8 or 9 years ago. We immediately found a good working flow together and I can confidently say that we have both been massively influential to each other creatively. Source is our 5th collaborative EP and 10th record together as a production duo and I feel this EP is some of our best work yet!

The title track 'Source' is an ode to the more atmospheric Jungle anthems of innovators Source Direct - with a slightly dubbed out feel, retro aesthetics and nostalgic sampling. It culminates in a euphoric and hypnotic track, which whilst heavily referencing it's inspirations manages to be somewhat modern sounding.

In true Ruff Kutz fashion, the 2nd track on the A side 'Fuchsia' comes with an unexpected tempo drop - whilst continuing with the theme of the deep & melancholic tone of Source, but slightly more introspective and still within a jungle framework. The 2-step rhythm and...  more

Jason Code’s Nervous Growl wasn’t born in a club. It started on a cold, rainy day in Seattle, when he pulled out some hardware to shake off a creative rut.

Let’s backtrack: Jason first learned to produce at 16 after falling for the bass and energy of early dubstep, fascinated by its overlap with hip-hop. After years of honing his sound – including releases on Scuffed Recordings, Ommaya Records and Future Everything, plus his self-released 2022 EP JC01 – he moved back to Seattle and began working as a lighting tech for after-hours parties like Research, High+Tight, and Second Nature. Those nights, with their long-form, hypnotic grooves, would have a huge impact on the production of Nervous Growl. Around the same time, he started throwing his own parties, investing in a soundsystem with friends, and creating a DIY space to help bolster the local scene and strengthen the city’s underground dance community.

It’s that same spirit – inclusive, DIY, and fiercely proud of its scene – that fuels Nervous Growl: as he puts it, “a rising tide lifts all ships.” Bringing together that formative love of proggy house and techno with the deep womps, think breaks, tripped-out vocal chops and breathy ASMR moments that have become his signature (put it this way: he’s not beating the ADHD allegations any time soon), Nervous Growl feels like the record that brings together all aspects of Jason’s musical make-up into a disharmonious whole.

This EP also features his best mixing work yet – tight, bass-forward club tracks that balance silliness, darkness, and sultry energy. The low end is king here – especially the chest-rumbling “growl” at the core of the title track – but there’s a wry humour running throughout the EP with details that reveal themselves on repeat listens. Nervous Growl is a record built for big systems and packed dancefloors, with Jason’s personality stamped all over it.

This is not what you deserve
There is not much left that has not turned

Do the simple things you do
You know this will not be over soon

They say: go away
I stay, I breathe in
I breathe out
I wait

All their burning lies will last
Oh, you run so fast and fall so hard

This is not what you deserve
There is not much left that has not turned

They say: go away
I stay, I breathe in
I breathe out
I wait

There is no power strong enough
That could separate us from the past
I wait
