Law makes his debut appearance on Rupture with the 'Patterns EP', which kicks off a new digital only series to keep the beats rolling between vinyl releases.

Co-founder of the Repertoire imprint, having also released with the likes of Future Retro and Western Lore recently, Law sets off Rupture's 2023 schedule with three solo cuts plus a collaboration with Wheeler on 'So Many Tears'. 

Drifting between soulful pads and haunting tones, Law's careful selection of samples and breaks gives the 'Patterns EP' an all encompassing sound, covering all styles to build and break tension throughout.

Rumbleton makes a welcome return to Rupture, cooking up some essential flavours with the 'Right Ingredients EP'. 

Toronto connects with London once again as Rumbleton makes his first appearance on the label since 'The Fifth Column' in 2018 - it has been worth the wait as four cuts are exported in all the correct measures. 

Lead track 'Right Ingredients' has been one of Rupture’s most sought after dubs. A totally unique track with elements of dub, soul, drumfunk and a chest rattling bassline that cuts deep.

Heavy artillery follows on 'Raw Deal' in a surge of amen pressure that continues into 'Just A Dream'. 

Rumbleton never loses sight of the musicality however; his collaboration with Dodz, ‘Island Cream’ is filled with warm pads, tough breaks, groove & heart.

Scorched Earth

Following the initial response to the split single we have decided to release the remixes on vinyl along with the original tracks.

Sully’s XT opens track one with sparse percussive reverberation before dropping straight into the funk with a bubbling break and a bass-line reminiscent of American b-movies of the ‘70s. XT bustles along with a militant urgency, but never losing the funk flavour.

On track two, Basic Rhythm flips Sully’s XT into a straight ahead 2 step pattern, retaining the energy of the bass line whilst ramping up the militant urgency, all without losing the funk flavour. Combining modern drum production with a 90s jump up vibe.

Basic Rhythm’s Woozy is a suitable companion piece, opening track three with an ominous Hammond organ chord line and a scattering of half heard vocal snippets, before dropping into a militant break with a one note bass-line evocative of 97 era V Records. Dark and moody, but with the dance floor firmly in step.

Sully’s flip of Basic Rhythm’s Woozy on track four strips away the layers. Opening with a spartan percussion and a scattering of vocal snippets, reducing the one note bass-line to an even more laconic drawl, while littering the track with bursts and stabs of strings and effects. This one is for the dark corners of the dance.

8205-023 DJ SDR + DJ Trooper / Dopeski 

8205-023 sees longtime friends Adrian / DJ SDR (of SDR + Subsonic fame) and DJ Trooper combining forces with the mighty Dopeski.  “Bad Boy Sound” is a long lost upfront ragga jungle tune from 94-95. When SDR first reached out with it, I liked the tune a lot, but it sounded so familiar that I was convinced it had already been released (and hence wasn't appropriate for 8205).  After some investigation, it turned out "Bad Boy Sound" was only familiar because I had chanced upon the only other dubplate copy of it in existence in a secondhand collection around 10-15 years ago. Given that coincidence, it seemed a sign that we should try to get it out there for other people to hear, even though the DAT was lost decades ago. So here it is, restored lovingly off one of those two dubplates, extra crusty & undeniably banging tearout ragga amen business.


For a B side tune, we've enlisted the help of longtime jungle/dnb producer Dopeski.   Some of you may know Dopeski for his collaborations with Jakes on labels like Face Records and Wardance (serious darkness!), his solo work on IQ, or his DNB releases on his own label Chemical Warfare. With "No Time to Play", Dopeski brings something a bit different but undeniably wicked for 8205 - a raucous and bouncy 95 jump up track, full of with frantic and densely layered breaks.

8205-023 will be out Friday May 3rd at 12 noon UK time on the 8205 Bandcamp, vinyl only, limited to only 300 copies for sale. Available on clear and red splattered 10" vinyl, and extra limited standard black vinyl, with great picture sleeve art (as always) by Atelier Superplus.

- Out now on Vinyl & Digital at all good record stores - 

Taiko’s ‘Bang Thing’ goes somewhere new with a lurching grime assault. 
An ominous string intro announces a steady, relentless low end attacks, skillfully offset with Taiko’s unusual and distinctive percussive rolls. The track moves into fifth gear in the second half toward a devastating high octane crescendo not for the fainted hearted. Innovative and fresh, Bang Thing shows how much creative space remains to be mined in the space between grime and dubstep.
