«Unicorn is too beautiful and harmless to be evil. But catching it is a tricky business, and one should have extraordinary wit-for-it.» 
(«Unicorn», Leonardo da Vinci)

Image of Unicorn is clothed with mystery: this mythical beast incarnates human origin and final aim of it, it is a symbol of calmness at one given moment and waken mind at next moment. Having incorporated the opposite manifestations of life, it shines in darkness, showing the Path to Man who is wondering through vast territories of life.

> Searching of Oneself is an eternal process, and gained wisdom eases realization of it. Bright light of Unicorn threw a light to soul of Alex, inspired him to create music about the mysterious beast. The track «Unicorn» is alike a horse ride to overcome distance from sleeping mind to awaken one.

> As the graceful pacer, Unicorn is described by a British producer 48K. Richard has managed to «mount» this playful horse, moreover to breed a talented horse by having taught it unusual way of traveling, amble. Remix by 48K «touches» with its mannerism and versatility, extends the comfort zone of the most exquisite Listener.

> Rhythmic trot across the expanses of fantastic wood guarantees remix by Oleg Zubkov. With his work this Kazakh musician demonstrates strength and authority of this mythical beast, and pays tribute to the ethereal beauty of the Unicorn.

> Full gallop in performance of Spaniard Xtorsion symbolizes end to human nature, as the reincarnation into a higher society with new values and opportunities. Dani describes a rapid jump of a new generation to a comprehensive chastity. Are you ready for changes?

«… The bird of wonder dies, 
the maiden Phoenix, 
Her ashes new create another heir, 
As great in admiration as herself» 
(«The Phoenix and the Turtle», from «Henry VIII» by William Shakespeare)

The legend about the mysterious bird says: Phoenix – is a symbol of the mighty Sun, setting in the evening and re-emerging in the morning. In the minds of men even today is kept the belief that the Phoenix - is the eternal life of soul after the death of body. 

> Researcher of «thin» facets of past knowledge, Parallax Breakz paid tribute to Phoenix and described its image through music. Spirit of legendary bird has become materially realized in hard, unusual and red glowing track by Alex.

> «Phoenix» in interpretation of British duo Audiohazard – is a bird of Life, bringing light and warming up all the surrounding with its fire breathing. In their remix Michael and Ian preserved mystical mood of original, at the same time decorated it with their own sounding - «bold» bass-line, storming groove, and charged it with the energy of flame.

> History about fire bird also imbued Spaniard Blazer. About the death of Phoenix’ body cries its soul – remix by Alberto illustrates whole life cycle of wonder-bird – it is «burning» breakbeat, breathtaking with its powerful feeding.

> Emerging from ashes presents Phoenix Spaniard HardNoise. Free flight of soul, reincarnation of bird of Luck Alvaro described it in inherent to him style – remix is saturated with «thick» bass, acid-sounding, and once more accented mysticism of release.

«RUNE012BLACK: Parallax Breakz – Unicorn / Phoenix» - it is the crossroads of the fate of people who seek Enlightenment, a look at the future through the prism of priceless past, this is the main sign of RUNE recordings in 2011 year. We thank you for your support, dear Listener, and are glad to our new acquaintance! ; )

RUNE158: Ákos Győrfy — Winter Tale (incl. Framewerk & Noel Sanger Remixes) — another solid progressive package from RUNE Recordings. 

This time, we are honored to welcome aboard a seriously powerful roster of true connoisseurs of progressive vibrations, kicking off the label’s summer season of releases with a 'Winter Tail' single by Ákos Győrfy — a classic Progressive Breaks production, that spotlights the artist's distinctive talent. 

On the flipside, the British duo Framewerk produced not just one, but two remixes which breathe the frosty, fresh air of Atmospheric & Acid Electro Breaks vibes onto the 'Winter Tale' original. We aren’t done just yet, as the icing on the cake of the entire release is Noel Sanger's interpretation, tastefully infused with exquisite Progressive House sound, full of orchestral motifs, epic riffs and lush hi-hats.

RUNE159: Under This & Kelle — Stay Creative — a breezy fresh single from the duo made in heaven.

Here at RUNE Recordings, we believe that creativity is an active realization of human's inventive potential. However, in practice, we also face the fact that sometimes it’s difficult to turn creative ideas into reality and it can be due to a lack of motivation, support, or simply a lack of ideas.

In such moments, we unite and mix artists who can create something new together — for themselves, label, and listeners. One of these tandems is Under This & Kelle, whose collaboration became a boost of creativity for each of the artists individually and resulted in the banging track ‘Stay Creative’.

We wish everyone that the fresh summer sound of ‘Stay Creative’ will inspire you to creative discoveries, as it happened with Under This & Kelle. Enjoy the sound and share Breakbeats. Worldwide. 🖤

Opening a new chapter of the Outcast series, we’re welcoming a freshly formed duo from Northeast England — DADs @dadsmusicuk

Heavily influenced by the deeper sounds of the underground bass music scene, DADs’ production thrives on manipulated and saturated emotive synths, grooving percussion, and robotic vocal chops to capture a poignant sound. Worth mentioning that they have already supported the likes of Overmono, Ben UFO, Jane Fitz, Objekt, Giant Swan, Batu and Kessler.

From the artists themselves: ‘DADs poignant style of electronic music evokes a bittersweet nostalgia — the sound of losing someone you love, but with the knowledge that the love was worth the loss.’ Let’s dive in 🖤

Hey pals! 

It's Dima's 'RUNE' birthday today, and the best gift we can give you is the new Outcast from our dear music friend — EVL TOM @evl_tom Over several years of knowing him personally, Tom has proven himself to be a deep and versatile person, especially when it comes to music. We sincerely admire his deep approach and understanding of styles and are happy to share this two-hour mix with all of you!

To confirm these words, here is a first-hand quote from Tom:

"Hello, friends! I was super happy to be asked to do this mix, as the Ukrainian scene and its people are very dear to my heart. Dima asked me for a mix to represent my take on the breakbeat sound as we enter into this new year. I've always felt that breaks can be a versatile and wide-reaching genre, and I’ve tried to explore some of that in this mix.

There are organic, percussive tracks, florida acid, electro and techno ingredients, some reggae, grime, and hip-hop elements, deep rollers, melancholic, melodic bangers, shroomy mind expanders, and plenty of rib cage rattling bass. Just the breakbeat that I love, basically. A few old ones in there but plenty of the new including my new single “Eternal Lids” which is the third single off my upcoming album, “Absolute Melt” which drops on March 1st on OUT YER BOX @out-yer-box. Also, couldn’t resist including a little edit at the end that’s been getting crowds a little hyped lately. Hope you enjoy, and seek out my new bits in those places you do your seeking."

Lots of love, EVL TOM xx

So show your love to the Artist and enjoy this breakbeat journey in all its diversity!

EDGE — a party series that never happened due to the war in Ukraine.

Inspired by the success of bringing Carl Finlow at the end of 2021, our team developed the brand identity for a new events series in Kyiv. Everything was ready to start — Umwelt booking, the lineup formed, flights paid for, announcements and ads set up.

But all that remains since then are memories of unfulfilled dreams and desires. And now — a tribute mix from Sparkless featuring the exact tracklist he prepared for EDGE.

We are happy to share these memories with you and release the mix with the EDGE design concept as it was and is. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to the creation of this mix, namely:

• Platon Superblack
• Alex Sparkless
• Art Clandestine
• Yuriy Sony

Enjoy listening.
Pass the vibe around.
Edge yourself.

Some events unfold so naturally that they feel as if they were painted by life itself. That’s exactly what happened a month ago at PUREBASSLINE event in Granada, where we first met DJ Pepo (@pepodnb). His closing set on the garden stage was an absolute highlight of the night — powerful, flawlessly structured, and performed with precision. Afterward, Pepo revealed that this was his first-ever (!) breakbeat set — and it left an unforgettable impression!

A well-known name in the Spanish Drum & Bass scene, Pepo (@pepodnb) has been shaping his sound since moving to London in 2017. While fully immersed in his main style, his passion for broken beats led him to explore breakbeat, drawing inspiration from legends like Koma & Bones, Backdraft, and Future Funk Squad. Over time, he has developed a distinctive sound that continues to captivate breaks enthusiasts across Andalusia and beyond.

Today, we’re thrilled to present his exclusive Outcast on RUNE Recordings, infused with all the raw Spanish energy he brings to his mix. Enjoy & share Breakbeats. Worldwide.
