GABAGOOL

Pure Space presents the debut EP from Naarm-via-Boorloo artist CHEAHDX (Darren Cheah), co-founder of Step Count & Serendipity, and a familiar force across Australia’s underground. Known for his genre-fluid DJ sets, CHEAHDX distills a decade of dancefloor energy into four cuts built for the system.

Opening track ‘Earthbound’ sets the tone with heady momentum, bass-fuelled pressure driving straight into hybrid genre territory, a hefty bass workout to kick things off.

‘Li-Ion’ keeps the pace high, a minimal trance cut sharpened with break-driven percussion and razor-edged sampling. The track levitates, then lets loose, landing squarely on the floor with peak-time energy.

Pulling back the tempo, ‘Monte De Pedra’ drops into subterranean mode, a low-slung bass workout, equal parts wobble and restraint. It’s dance music for lean-back hours, stretching tension through its sub-heavy architecture.

Closing with the title track, ‘Visage’ blends dreamy pads and whirling horns with expertly sculpted subs, a hybrid closer that ties the EP together in a haze of depth and motion.

CHEAHDX’s debut EP on Pure Space marks a producer fully in command of his craft. With roots in bass, breaks, and leftfield electronics (and years clocked on the dancefloor), Visage lands with steeze, weight, and intent.

Tracks written, produced and mixed by Darren Cheah on Whadjuk & Wurundjeri Land; additional mixing by Connor Brown.
Pure Space also operates on Gadigal Land. Pure Space and CHEAHDX both acknowledge the traditional custodians of these lands and pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Pure Space Recordings is the label venture from the beloved radio show hosted by Andy Garvey which broadcast weekly on Sydney’s FBi Radio between 2016 and 2023. The label that was established in 2019 focuses on Australian music both for home listening and that made for the club.

TL premiere: CHEAHDX - Li-ion [PS023]

Traction EP marks the debut release from The Garfield - label owner, lifelong raver, and someone who’s been part of drum & bass since the early days of AWOL and the Paradise Club. Across four tracks, the EP captures everything that defines the culture: weight, space, tension and control 🔥

From the raw drive of Traction through the darker, metallic pressure of Screams of Horns, The Garfield lays out a sound that’s both rooted and forward-facing. De Minimus pares things back to their purest form - deep, hypnotic and deliberate - before Roll With It brings the release home with rolling energy and dancefloor purpose 🙌🏻

There’s no gloss or nostalgia here - just the truth of the sound, shaped by years on the dancefloor and refined in the studio. Traction EP is more than a debut; it’s the start of a new chapter built on experience, authenticity and the love that’s driven this music from the very beginning 🎧

Funk Aesthetics - Ghost [RPFREE004] (OUT NOW)

Stream et buy : http://hyperurl.co/Kosen34

The levels that underground labels like Kosen Productions continue to push have ensured the imprint has stayed on the agenda’s forefront. And this remains the same ethos for their next release, returning to the heavily skilled, crashing sounds of Maniatics, three producers who made their name on Kosen and who now help to spearhead its discography. The Sevilla based outfit, having also released on the likes of Titan Records, Eatbrain and Viper, deliver two brand new records which signify why they’re such an imperative part of Kosen. And having started its path in 2011, the French label has thrived within drum & basses independent market, pushing forward both burgeoning newcomers and more heavyweight figures. Whether it’s Signs, The Clamps, Nickbee or Maniatics themselves, Kosen has offered up some of the artists’ most resounding cuts. 

‘I’m Gonna Kill You’ and ‘Enough On My Conscience’ are no different, two undeniably huge records which go to show why Kosen were so hotly tipped after discovering the trio from relative obscurity. The single’s A-side ‘I’m Gonna Kill You’ begins as you’d expect from a Maniatics track. It’s cutting, whilst each slab of unforgiving drum patterns hit harder and harder as they loop between its flying percussion. There’s a hook which grapples with you between every slamming breakdown and this is why you’ll be hearing it across clubs throughout the next few months. The outfit know how to make an impact and this is clear to see through the ruthless dancefloor appeal of ‘I’m Gonna Kill You’. 

Then on the reverse, ‘Enough On My Conscience’ is just as destructive, slicing through with punching stabs of bass and hollowed up drum throws, with each slamming just as hard as the last. You become entangled in the destructive throws of Maniatics, alongside each one of their carefully fashioned layers of engineering, as despite how explosive their style is they’re still meticulous in their creation. Bringing together two huge tracks, Maniatics aren’t hitting the brakes on their career anytime soon. They’re making their way to the top, with Kosen presenting another rung on the ladder and a home for their tearaway pieces of art.
