Two titans in UK breakbeat culture, Loxy & Ink were both present at the inception of the birth of UK dance music and continue to be torchbearers. After having pushed and shaped the outer edges of drum ‘n bass at the likes of Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware, they went on to found their own Architecture and Cyclon labels; having reached the heights of their potential for free play and daring, authentic expression, it’s only natural that they’re furthering their mission at R&S Records. With ‘Manifested Visions’ the duo does exactly what the title suggests; transcending the boundaries of genre, roots dub meets hip hop and in-your-face drum and bass to create a track that will make you submit, revel, rave and float.

HomeSick - Carbob (Sam Binga Remix)

Free download: repertoire.bandcamp.com/album/streetlight-vol-2

Based in Manchester, @pod_imiya plays a mix of jungle and drum n bass styles from all eras, dropping in hardcore, IDM and sped-up electro. Pod Imiya’s sets are usually centred around rough breaks with dark but uplifting selection.

Starting out as a regular DJ at Hit & Run, she quickly went on to play at nights across the UK such as Rupture, License to Jungle, Chicken Shop Events and Sheffield-based night Anomalies, which showcases the wonkier side of 170bpm.

We welcome back the sub frequency specialists from Brussels for their second LP on Samurai Music. Peppered with a sizzling selection of like-minded collaborators, Grassroots continues the enhanced exploration into dub infused, stripped back Drum and Bass, deftly splashing breakbeat shards over their rolling grooves. The collaborators each add their signature spice to the Untouchables proven recipe while retaining the heat-seeking attention to groove that is inherent to The Untouchables signature construction methods. Originally an EP for the label, the submissions outgrew the EP format organically until the project became an LP that flows seamlessly, touching every corner of the Untouchables stylistic repertoire. While their considered attention to the nether regions of bass frequencies gives the LP the weight it needs to command any large system, this is also an LP for listeners - an alluring headphone expedition.

"I’ve been a fan of Djrum for some time since hearing some of his early mixes and having seen him play out in his effortlessly interesting and bold style many times with the same philosophy applied in his tunes I had always hoped to collab with him. We managed to pull “Ruins” out of the hat and I’ve been waiting a while to reveal this mad mixture of hardcore and lo fi slow-mo energy  to the world. It’s a perfect fit for this amazing compilation of music, which I can’t wait to share with you all this coming September!"
- Om Unit

Fresh from a series of artist-led 12"s, Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label returns with 'Dark Matter', its first compilation since 2017's 'Cosmology Selections'. Collected in a triple vinyl LP / digital formats, the release offers a fresh snapshot of the exciting possibilities and experiments happening at the intersection of hip-hop, jungle and bass music; a hybrid sound the label has pioneered since its first release eight years ago. 

Across 14 tracks, 'Dark Matter' showcases Cosmic Bridge's growing global roster of artists: Moresounds, Danny Scrilla, Proc Fiskal, Margari's Kid, Oliver Yorke, J:Kenzo, TMSV, vromm, alongside new faces Samba and Rude Operator, and perennial favorites Es.tereo, Synkro and Djrum, the latter two in collaboration with label head Om Unit. 

Stylistically the compilation covers a broad range, and gives listeners the space to digest it all with a running time of 75 minutes. There are stripped-down, meditative rollers such as TMSV's flute-led 'Ominous', the bass hypnosis of Danny Scrilla's 'Sacred Waters', and Samba's snappy, booming remix of Om Unit's 'The Lake'. The timeless energy of jungle is channeled in Proc Fiskal's 'Death', a percussive, bouncy number, while Moresounds plays with filters (and your mind) as he refines a less-is-more take of classic themes on 'Watating'. J:Kenzo highlights the music's Jamaican roots on 'Dub For Bashenga'; a tough, pounding cut that goes straight for the chest and which finds its counterpoint in Rude Operator's 'Broken Sky'. 

For those who like more expansive, cinematic approaches there are epic waves of drums, slick editing and euphoria in Es.tereo's 'Floating Point' and Vromm's 'Decentralized', while Oliver Yorke's 'Treasured' and Margari's Kid's 'Challenger' squeeze soul from colder sound palettes and tight breakbeats. 

Om Unit's two collaborations, 'Reflections' with Synkro and 'Ruins' with Djrum, reflect the compilation's ambitions and breadth. The former is a delicate, uplifting roller that sets you up for the dark rumblings, freeform stylings and frenetic rhythms of the latter. The compilation ends with a track that arguably stands tall on its own, Crypticz's 'Chrysalis' feat. Amy Kisnorbo; an 11-minute epic that plays out like a love letter to the magic of breakbeat science, dub technology and human creativity. 

Dark Matter is a finely crafted statement of intent from Cosmic Bridge and Om Unit, shunning easy self-congratulation for a dive into the musical potentials and connections of a sound that is now an established part of the global bass music vocabulary.

Simstah - 2020 [Premiere]

002 of our Bandcamp digital exclusives continue and is now available to purchase. A huge thank you to everybody who grabbed 001, very much appreciated for all the support :)
Here is another 2 deep thought out pieces from the HDDs of Antagonist & Fortune, both written earlier this year and put aside for a rainy autumn moment.
Fortune twisting the loops into an abyss with "Lithosphere" , a squared off attack of drum loops,deep bass movement and a nod to the autonomic era. Partnered up with Antagonist, who delivers a long drawn out 8minute melancholic track to evoke moods with "Akasha" which in sanskrit is the term for the aether.
Available for one month here - https://disciplinerecordsuk.bandcamp.com/album/discdigiltd002-fortune-antagonist
We hope everybody is doing well during these unknown dystopian times, sending our love.
