RM Estali - Reboot (95OT002)

Sub Basics returns to Modern Hypnosis with Rhino EP. This time bringing four dub, techno and house inspired tracks for the collectors and selectors.

Sub Basics opens with Roll Up, a delicate broken beat track, where under the microscope, heavy traces of cosmic dub-dust have been detected throughout. Roll Up guides you along at 115bpm as it glistens in the stars.

The title track, Rhino is an addictive, somewhat cheeky, progressive dub techno tune, with each dub-stab as it enters the fold offering the listener a different skank to groove on. This track will connect dance floors around the world for many years to come.

Together on the flip, Haze and Fluctuate are perfectly executed pieces of dub techno hypnotism, with Fluctuate leaning into those house music elements we all cherish and love. Sub Basics does it again!

Enjoy.

Claymore

Super excited to welcome Sentient with his powerful debut Blank Aperture, a five-track EP that masterfully blends bass music influences with grey area aesthetics. Through distorted yet juicy textures, razor-sharp rhythms, and deep, driving grooves, Sentient crafts a soundscape that is as dystopian as it is captivating.
The title track ‘Blank Aperture’ opens with gritty halftime grooves and meticulously crafted distortion, building an atmosphere thick with tension. ‘Repeater’ warps perceptions with its polymetric structures and rhythmical shifts, while ‘Void Treader’ explores stark minimalism, each element painstakingly placed. ‘Frayed End’, a collaboration with Kahter, shifts the energy to full-throttle bass music with smacking percussion and earth-shaking basslines.
Closing the release, ‘Spiral Realm’ plunges into abstract ambient territory, with metallic drones, stretched breaks, and heavy bass surges evoking a bleak, dystopian horizon.

About Sentient:

London-based dubstep and experimental bass music producer & DJ, Sentient, has carved himself a niche in bass music with crushing, genre-spanning soundscapes, moving fluidly between various styles of sound. Inspired by horror game soundtracks with heavy, crushing atmospheres, and his love of classical and hardcore music, Sentient’s distinctive sound fuses these influences resulting in a mesmerising blend of gloomy and oppressive sonic landscapes that aim to challenge the norm.
Signed to Bristol-based Foundation Audio (UK) as well as XCPT music (IT), QEONE (DE), Dub Colony (CH), WobWob! (DE), ENDZ (UK), Locus Sound (UK) and LDH Records (UK), and with a monthly radio show on Mode London (UK), Sentient continues to establish himself as a new sound in the underground music scene. His mixes are a journey through the subterranean depths of bass music, showcasing his intricate production skills and fearless experimentation with sound design.

Sentient - Blank Aperture [QNE012]

German producer Conzi makes his debut on Beatrice M.’s Bait label with two introspective heavyweight cuts accompanied each by a remix from Hamburg’s N:in and Dublin’s Ambit.

With releases on labels such as DUPLOC, WobWob! and cutcross alongside a slew of self-released records, Conzi is definitely now marked as a go-to producer within the world of dubstep and 140. The AU2 EP is another knockout record in his arsenal, focusing more on the darker atmospheric side of the sound with two rolling numbers, ‘AU2’ and ‘Drakar’. On the flip side, N:in elevates the textures on ‘AU2’ to create a more abrasive temperament whilst Ambit brings in more ‘roller’ influences.

Kobayashi Maru & Silhouette - The Mission (AMPH003)

Blending the raw intensity of early dubstep with hypnotic trance-driven energy, Silhouette (AKA Vision of 1994) and Kobayashi Maru team up on Amphibian Records for The Mission EP. This four-tracker pushes dark garage atmospheres into uncharted psychedelic territory, reshaping the edges of contemporary dance music.

Jah-Tek presents The Mission on the A1, a heavyweight 140BPM two-step roller, driven by cavernous metallic growls and a bassline steeped in classic Big Apple energy.

Kobayashi Maru & Silhouette - The Mission (AMPH003) [Jah-Tek Premiere]

Beatrice M.'s Bait invites Trois-Quarts Taxi System back into the fold for both the artist’s and label’s debut album release, ‘Plexus’. Leaning into innovative 140 mutations, Trois-Quarts Taxi System dedicates his first long-format release to exploring the depth of this space and stepping away from his usual 170/80 sound. A deep meditative journey of introspection.

Taking the name ‘Plexus’ from a key he found in the street, the album is split into various parts with the heart of album comprised of three parts of ‘Plexus’ - drone-like soundscapes which retrace different states using a variety of acoustic and electronic sounds combined with samples from an anonymous cassette found in the street. This hybridisation of sound is often influenced by ideas Trois-Quarts Taxi System comes across whilst working on his live shows; an artistic practice that is very important to his output. On this occasion, Trois-Quarts Taxi System has used this extended period to explore the bridge between dubstep, techno and experimental, pieced together with quiet ambient moments.

DIRTY GLASSEZ, N95 - CLOUDTEK
https://fuselab.bandcamp.com/album/cloudtek

The debut co-op release by DIRTY GLASSEZ and N95 brings together the best of both worlds, combining a melancholic atmosphere with ghetto tech/footwork aesthetics.

CLOUDTEK reworks the aesthetics of the digital positivity and glossy futurism of the 2000s into a more mature, minor key form. Simple ringtone vaporwave melodies take on a thoughtful sound, shimmering in an ambient haze. Drums borrowed from ghetto genres add a special energy to the music.

At the intersection of two extremes — lively ghetto and airy futurism — cloudtek emerged, manifesting itself in a scattering of contradictory genres

DIRTY GLASSEZ, N95 - 0003

420Million — a global bassline is broken.
Each drop in this track echoes both the rhythm of sound
and the rhythm of life we’ve strayed from.

If nutrition is survival, how can we realign the rhythm?
If nutrition is survival, how do we find our way back?
Our bassline forgotten… we lost track.

Access to healthy food — prices soar.
Education lacking — everything out the door.
The rhythm we needed comes down to the core,
but together we can rise once again and we can restore.

Across the world, the foods we eat have changed.
Additives, colorings, preservatives — made to preserve food,
but not always to preserve life.
Over time, true nourishment slipped from priority.
The cost has been great.

Yet there is hope.
A movement is rising —
calling us back to health,
to wellness,
to the essentials of life.

Voices everywhere are asking for better,
seeking knowledge,
choosing compassion —
for themselves,
for their families.

This track is my prayer.
My offering of support for that shift.
Because more of us want this change than may be seen.
Because our survival depends on it.

420 million voices — let’s change the bassline.
It’s time.
Sustain health.
Sustain existence.

“The condition affecting nearly 420 million people globally is diabetes (WHO, 2023)—a staggering rise from approximately 100 million in 1980. Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases related to blood sugar production and usage by the body. Commonly called Type 2 diabetes, this disease occurs when the body cannot properly use insulin or produce enough of it. Once referred to as ‘adult-onset,’ it now increasingly affects young people, pushing medical organizations to drop the label.”

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” — 3 John 1:2
