Yo that beat switcheroo is pretty clever. Neat re-re-re-edit!

To kick off our NZ Music Month mix series, we have none other than Christchurch legends and rising talents Pirapus!

Pirapus, made up of George Murray and Ben Hollamby (aka Tex), is a dancefloor drum and bass duo out of Christchurch, New Zealand. With an ever-growing list of releases and collaborations, Pirapus’ intense yet catchy tunes are quickly making their mark on the NZ dnb scene. George and Tex’s backgrounds range from hip-hop to classical music, but it was their obsession with drum and bass which brought them together during university. Now, Pirapus’ various musical influences translate to their diverse catalogue of dnb music, making their DJ sets entertaining and loaded with energy.

Valine Winter Liquid D&B Mix 2021

A mix of some of my favourite liquid and atmospheric dnb tracks to kick off the summer.

Summer Session - Liquid & Vibes

Label co-owner Moakz returns to Codename: RCRDS with Lunatic Age EP, featuring a select of uniquely styled dancefloor bangers which have been featuring heavily in his sets over the past few months, complemented by three storming remixes from some of the most talented artists currently at work in the scene.

The EP opens with the prophetic title track ‘Lunatic Age’, a hybrid of atmospheric synths, electrostep and jungle with a warning message which feels unnervingly prescient in light of current world events. ‘A Dark Future’ flips 4x4 beats into a deep atmospheric direction as its vocals muse on the dystopian influences of the roots of jungle and techno, before Mineral contributes his stunningly brutal rework of the same track, flipping intelligently between introspective moments and tearout drops.

The 2nd half of the release brings the well titled ‘Calm Before The Storm’, with hypnotic synth lines and rolling drums building things towards a crescendo before the track locks firmly into the groove with a rumbling bass that continually pushes things forward. Code Of Silence provides his signature tearing amen drum work to his rework of ‘Lunatic Age’, bringing the hardcore elements to the fore and adding an extra vocal for good measure. Last up is man of the moment Neekeetone’s vibrant remix of ‘Back To The Earth’, where warped basses and trademark precision break choppage escalate the original to fresh new heights.

Moakz - A Dark Future

Respair

Rebel Music unveil the eighth chapter of their 'Rebel Alliance' Various Artists series, a raw statement straight from the underground.

More than just an album, this is a manifesto in bass and breakbeats, built for those who thrive in the shadows. Each track strikes with force, like steel on static, bending systems under pressure and pushing back against conformity.

True to the ethos of Rebel Music, this collection is about more than sound. It is disruption, resistance, and rhythm rolled into one. The underground is not a place but a pulse, and this instalment captures it in full force.
