Benedikt Frey makes his debut on Rhythmic Culture Records with ‘Hoover’. The German producer–known for his previous work on labels such as ESP Institute, Hivern Discs and his own R.i.O. imprint–delivers a 4-track EP that is a journey through the breakbeat spectrum with a distinct focus on sonic experimentation. From the hypnotic dynamic in ‘Blue Lights’ complimented by the vocals of DALO, to the intriguing dance floor rhythms in ‘Henry’ and ‘Deadlines’ and downtempo mesmerising track ‘Trees’, ‘Hoover’ puts another side of Frey’s work in the limelight.

Turin-based label Early Reflex welcomes Capiuz to the imprint with 'The New Show' – a collection of 4 hard-drum club tools which would entertain listeners and dancers with their original psychedelic twist. In 'Throw-Off', the Italian producer builds a suspensive intermission within the release. Low frequency bass-drums and sequenced reverberated snares merge with high-pitched tambourines generating unique variations of the beat, the tune then get split in half to give space to a jazzy drum break solo which leads to the outro.

“A relentless crave for something new lays as an emotional foundation for this work and has directed the attitude while making it towards a personal journey through repetition and legitimization. The core sound comes from a melange of mangled samples, drum breaks and deep kick lines, where rhythmic patterns are hammered down in an obsessive manner before being hastily truncated and re-worked into new entities. In a frantic research with no fixed objective, every track takes the form of a fast pace pursuit that keeps blindly deviating from its course and shattering its own boundaries," Capiuz mentions.

The Amsterdam-based label traverse is back with their second compilation in their ‘traversée’ series and sees nine artists who, altogether, shape the vision of traverse through its diversity of music and places. 

Parisian-Malaysian DJ and head of Nehza Records RONI presents her personal track ‘911’ as part of the comp. “This track is a reflection of my life at the moment things are hard mentally as my mother is sick but the world is spinning and good things keep coming into my life, which help me going on. It’s what I wanted to express through all these elements that keep coming and hit one after the order. The sirens & wobble are expressing the constant tension that never disappears while the kick gives the pace & the strength to keep going after a dark moment.”

"Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine. 

Sonically diverse, "Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony. 

"Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.

GTEP04 excitingly welcomes german producer Kid Kun to Ghosttown Records. These three productions beautifully display Kid Kun´s personal take on modern, UK schooled techno hybridity. “Creep” introduces the listener to an industrial soundscape, spiced by eerie vocal chops. It’s undeniably dark, but powerfully driving energy continues to evolve with “Recharge” whose grimy claps fuse with thundering basslines. “Saturn”, finally, takes Kid Kuns sound to the faster paced realms where it hypnotically nods at DnB infused steppers. To round off the EP in style, Berlin based Cocktail Party Effect takes on “Creep” and transforms it into the ultimate uptempo roller. All through, a powerful display of high-end dancefloor-tools. GTEP04 is out 24th of May via Ghosttown Records.

Paris-based label Nehza Records will release an 11-track V/A called TRANSAERE on 11th October 2024, melding bass, breaks, techno, global sounds and lots more.

The compilation includes the innovative sounds of carin kelly, DJ Spit, Bluetoof, De Grandi, Dual Monitor, and Yas Reven, among others. Each artist brings their unique perspective, contributing to a diverse and forward-thinking collection of tracks.

The concept of TRANSAERE is deeply rooted in the theme of Air, delving into the unseen yet powerful qualities of this essential natural element. The project invites listeners to explore the hidden virtues of Air, emphasizing its profound impact despite its invisibility.

Through this thematic exploration, TRANSAERE aims to capture the essence of Air's subtle yet undeniable force, offering an immersive listening experience that transcends genres and borders.

Anyone who's heard a set from carin kelly knows how easily the Rinse FM resident glides from rhythm to rhythm. On the opening track, 'Eddies', she evokes a smooth, swirling mass of bass-driven deliciousness. Peppered with warped-out percussive notes and shuddering drums, it's an odyssey through trippy motifs and offbeat wonk.

Bait's 3rd VEP, Out of Step, looks into industrial, mechanical sounds, some of which almost don’t qualify as “dance” music anymore. ex.sses, lloydfears, Ōtone, VCR and gillielove take you on a march where you feel like you keep tripping up. The sound of glitchy, distorted things, being chopped up or smashed into pieces, this is what unites these 5 tracks in a various almost out of step with the rest of Bait’s releases.

traverse kicks off 2025 with a brand new release by Andrei Rusu. The Romanian and Berlin-based artist has been deeply involved in electronic music production, DJ-ing, and live performance as part of the duo Khidja.

A key element in A Chance Meeting with Choice’s sound and lively feeling is the use of Andrei’s favorite machines such as the Mort’s Barge module, the Microtonic or the Syncussion. He creates captivating soundscapes and deep evolutive atmospheres that inspired Beatrice M. to deliver a slow bassy belter that compliments this release perfectly.

Parisian label De la... je l'espère presents their next EP 'Decoys' by NYC's No Sir. 'Decoys' explores the ways that internal perception distorts and develops as it navigates the fluid boundaries of the self. The EP’s title invokes the distracting and alluring elements of an incomplete double—an illusion that, upon closer inspection, uncovers something perhaps even deeper than its originating source.  

'Respite' is a breathy half-time closer accented by bursts of frenetic sound and warbling bass, as though the music itself is resisting disintegration.

After a short hiatus the RC:Podcast series is back, kicking off with two curated mixes by Brussels' Mika Oki. The Untouchables is a collaboration of Belgium-based Kay & Nitrox that started at the dawn of the new Millenium. The duo specialises in the dark and tribal dub side of drum and bass and has an impressive catalogue of releases on genre-defining labels such as Samurai Music, Rupture and Mutable Beats.

Mika Oki: "The Untouchables are simply masters of bass music. Kay and Nitrox have been rumbling up the Belgian scene for some time now & deserve far more spotlight. Their signature style is unmistakable and remains 'untouchable', delivering heavy-hitting, dark, and percussive energy that resonates deep within your core. Get ready for a masterclass of drum & bass and dubstep."

We're back with another mind-bending mix coming from the Belgian scene, courtesy of Loto Retina. In the second mix in a series of two mixes curated by Mika Oki, Loto delivers a tough, bass-heavy journey full of distorted low ends and a punk edge.

Mika Oki: "When you step into Loto’s music world, there is no going back. Loto is one of the most talented aliens I’ve had the pleasure to meet. If they had enough hands, they would play drums, bagpipes, tabla, guitar and keys at the same time. Their performances are not just music, it’s a full-on experience with generous, colourful, percussive sounds. A vibe that only Loto can dish out with pure authenticity, no half  measures."

Early Reflex proudly presents 63N3RD [EYX021] introducing a bold new voice in experimental club music and the debut from biased, producer and DJ based between Milan and New York City.

63N3RD is a deeply personal project, written over a year while living in NYC, the EP draws from 16 years of clubbing experiences and biased's love for mixing and playing diverse sounds. It blends the unconventional with the danceable, capturing what he describes as "something you might not expect to sound good together, but somehow it does”.

The opener ‘K:umbia’ is a bold reinterpretation of cumbia rhythms, layered with experimental electronic textures and basslines that nod to his eclectic influences.

Amity kick off their year with ‘RICOCHET’, a precision-engineered various artists compilation that echoes across the underground bass continuum with unrelenting force. Following in the wake of their acclaimed debut V/A release ‘KILLS TWO BIRDS’, the UK label returns with another expertly curated selection of weighty percussive mutations, dubwise spectres, and low-end futurism. Gathering a rogues gallery of cutting-edge producers including Honeydrip, VVS1, Beaabea, Aaliyah Salem, Elpac, Kessler, Dom Carlo, Mulholland, Eyra & Yeye, the compilation locks in on Amity’s ethos of deep sonic exploration and fearless club experimentation.

From spectral dancehall shadows to heavy gravitational half-step, ‘RICOCHET’ operates on the fringes, where outsider sound system pressure and rhythmic dexterity collide. Each track strikes with intent, shifting, morphing, and rebounding off its surroundings in a percussive interplay of movement and tension. Dub sensibilities loom large, with ricocheting echoes and tactile sub-bass weaponry built for intimate spaces and cavernous halls alike. Yet, far from a scattershot affair, the compilation’s sequencing maintains a hypnotic flow, guiding listeners through surging rhythms and raw kinetic energy.

A masterclass in low-end propulsion, ‘RICOCHET’ proves Amity’s marksmanship in showcasing the most vital strains of contemporary underground club music.

MR006 crashes in straight from Brno, carving out a sonic current mirroring the ever-mutating scene. COUNT’s latest EP, a playful yet razor-sharp exploration of sound, provides a pack of oddly satisfying rollers. Spanning a spectrum of 140+, this four-track offering blends three originals with a remix from HEDO HYDR8 

THIRD TAKE starts off with CONVULSE, a pacey breakbeat track created to shake the early (and quicker) hours of the morning. The project then takes a more introspective approach as FIREWALL BLOCK rolls into the #2 stop. With a similarly quick BPM register, FIREWALL BLOCK employs traces of dub and jungle along its varied storyboard. Coming up next is BLACKTAIL, a headbanger turned electro track suitable for a variety of people, places, and things. Bring up the caboose* is a remix from HEDO HYDR8. This time it's a fully pumped up techno remix of the aforementioned track.

traverse is proud to announce the release of its first record - a compilation of six tracks from various artists, inspired by Pembroke King’s poem moving silhouettes, written for this occasion.

As the fourth volume of the compilation series “traversée”, moving silhouettes encourages artists to explore all corners of listening music and creative avenues that aren’t tied to any one convention. 

Pembroke King’s poem sheds light on the mood of the compilation, and even though each artist brings its own interpretation of it, there is a beautiful harmony of it all - from Kate Miller’s atmospheric sounds to Teqmun’s drums-made-of-rain-drop-recordings or Ghjuliú’s nostalgic melodies, the listener travels around Pembroke’s words with each track. 

As our first physical release, we feel honoured to collaborate with artists who have been involved in a way or another on traverse before such as Officium, Mika Oki and Alohn, but Kate Miller, Teqmun, and Ghjuliú, that we’ve been keeping close to our heart for a long time already.

LA’s Carré kicks off the first in a two-part mix series curated by Darwin, marking a decade of the SPE:C label. Known for her subversive sets and a sharp focus on dubstep, leftfield techno, and bass-driven sounds, her contribution to the RC mix series delivers exactly that.

Darwin: "I met Carré a few years ago when she booked me for her party at Fast at Work in LA. I’d already been playing out her dubs quite a bit and had asked her then to sign to SPE:C. It was really inspiring to meet another woman as dedicated to running events and as passionate about dubstep and bass music as I am. Carré’s flair for lush, dreamy atmospheres is unmatched, and I feel honored to have been able to give her a platform to showcase that. She’s also a killer DJ and played one of the sickest after-hours sets at REEF last spring. You can check out her skills on this mix."

The second installment in Darwin’s curated mixes for Rhythmic Culture comes from UK duo Dual Monitor. Their boundary-pushing productions have earned them the moniker “The UK Genre Alchemists” from Rinse FM. This open-format approach to music carries through to their vibrant, kaleidoscopic DJ sets—no two ever the same. The duo deftly weaves together twisted, low-slung UK bass, skittering IDM, dancefloor-shaking tech-bow, and zoned-out dub and jungle.

Darwin: "The story of Dual Monitor is actually a really cute one. Jake Hodge sent me a track they made "Step Pattern" because he was so blown away by the production and said "You need to sign this," and I did instantly not even listening to it a second time! Fliss and Zebb are hands down some of the most talented up-and-coming producers I’ve come across in a while. The speed at which they’re cranking out tunes and dubs, and the range in their sound, is unreal. On top of that, they’re two of the loveliest people to hang with. So happy to have them as part of the SPE:C family."
