3. Cruisin (Tatradang Remix)

The "Dubbing Myself EP" heralds W3C's return to sonic experimentation, diving deep into the roots and future of soundsystem culture. Paying homage to the rich lineage of UK electronic music, the EP also serves as a meditation on W3C's creative evolution.

The title track draws from the spirit of Foul Play's legendary 1992 classic "Dubbing You," yet stands firmly on its own ground. Gritty percussion and a brooding bassline drive the track, channeling the soul of 90s Jungle and Hardcore into a contemporary techno journey brimming with tension.

"Cruisin" takes a different path, melding earthy textures, tribal rhythms, and hints of Latin flair into a hypnotic exploration of dub techno. A deep sub-bass anchors the track, as it shifts between the driving precision of a 4/4 techno rhythm and the frenetic energy of breakbeats.

Closing the release, Tatradang (formerly minciisha ieraksti) reimagines "Cruisin" with a Brazilian funk-inspired rework. Centered around powerful kick drums and dynamic percussion, the remix weaves in enigmatic flutes and string instruments, amplifying the original’s Latin pulse while confidently emphasizing its own identity.

We're back with a recently decrypted transmission from the far reaches of outer space. These three W3C tracks have been floating undiscovered for nearly a decade, only now resurfacing — fully remastered for your listening pleasure.

First up is "WarTek", a collaboration with the legendary Latvian beatmaker & producer Oriole. The track is a bold re-imagining of '90s Hardcore — a relentless belter driven by pounding kicks, a nasty bassline, and snares so sharp they will leave you reeling. It goes hard, and it knows it!

Next, you've got to watch out— a devious cyborg serpent is on the prowl, and you're its ideal prey. "Mecharattler" insidiously lures you in with hypnotic, rattling percussion and atmospheric hissing before ambushing you with earth-shattering kicks and ice-cold bass stabs. This twisted creation is a collaboration with Tatradang, so you better watch out for that guy!

Finally, what was once a beautiful ballad by W3C and Body Double seems to have been corrupted by an artificial bacteria of their own making. The intricate melodies have vanished, replaced by mechanical chittering and surgically sharp yet twisted bass detonations. The result is "Contamination" — a more industrial spin on the cold, abrasive grime instrumentals of years past.

When asked about this release, BRĀN said:
”Trying to keep the same vibe I’m known for but always wanting to go heavier “ 
And yes, he goes heavier, he bangs that nail on it’s head fulfilling the intention with one blow and bangs it again for good measure.
These three tunes bring that glitchy sound that in the USA is often associated with artists like Tipper, Joe Cicada, Resonant Language, KLO etc, however BRĀN has been dropping goods like this for quite some time and has utilized that time to refine his sound into something unique.
These tunes hit hard with a clarity that knocks the kilter off-kilter and then, to keep you on your toes, knocks it back on and off-kilter a few more times. The glitch is strong in this man and he makes it known, the production is top notch, the sound is crisp and clean and the bass hits you in all the good spots.
We hope you enjoy these tunes as much as we do.

Prominent YesPleez! gang member Bran Richards is known for his aggressive off-kilter beats. With a unique style, Bran delivers sets that are as unpredictable as they are electrifying, mixing wompy half time bangers with basshouse and more! With each drop, he unleashes a barrage of distorted basslines and squelchy sounds, leaving listeners craving more.

"Mariposa EP" is a fresh reimagining of dubstep — one that breaks away from familiar genre tropes while doubling as a tribute to some of the most personally influential video games to W3C.

It kicks off with "Rise and Shine," a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Half-Life 2 (2004). Much like in the game, you're woken up and thrown straight into action, with industrial ambiance and a downright menacing bassline setting the tone.

The title track, "Mariposa," reworks the Brian Eno-esque ambient soundtrack of Fallout 1 (1997) into a more dramatic but equally enigmatic trip through bottomless subbass.

"Resonance Cascade" channels the claustrophobic energy of Half-Life 1 (1998) into what seems like a classic dubstep shape — until it suddenly accelerates into a corrosive techno roller in its second act.

Rounding things out, "The Land of Opportunity" is a leftfield dubstep spin on the already ice-cold theme of GTA4 (2008), driven by a fittingly off-kilter kick pattern.

“Laguna Profonda” is an electronic track with a deep, cinematic sound that moves between breakbeat, glitch hop, and dark electronic.
It opens with rarefied atmospheres and evolves into a dense, layered progression built on hypnotic grooves, fluid synths, and finely crafted sonic details. The piece creates a subtle yet constant tension, drawing the listener into a nocturnal and visceral landscape, suspended between introspection and mystery.

Ein Flimmern zwischen Welten, 
Stille, die drängt, 
Bewegung, die verharrt.

Fragile Texturen, 
Licht fällt in tiefe Schwere,

Nichts löst sich auf, 
alles bleibt klar verschwommen.

CxC PREMIERE: DJ Ethanol - Originate (QRUK)

James Young steps up for his first release on QRUK with the Nagasaki EP, a dark and driving UKG cut that leans into the moodier edges of Garage and Speedy G. The North Wales-based producer has already made waves with House releases on labels like Smashin Trax and Pogo House, but this new EP sees him pushing into heavier, more dancefloor-focused territory. Nagasaki is packed with chopped-up drums, eerie textures and a tough low-end that hits hard.

On remix duties is Kabo Cana, returning to the label after making a big impression with his debut I DON'T UNDERSTAND. His take on Nagasaki flips the original into a more club-ready, 90s inspired roller full of sub pressure and tight percussion. It's another strong showing from the Manchester-based producer who's quickly becoming an exciting name in the new wave of UKG.
