Sage De Lestrogén is set to drop her Femme Fatale EP on Breaks 'N' Pieces.

The LA-based artist, aka Introspekt, has been lighting up the scene with her wicked club-focused UKG, Breaks & House productions which have been released on labels such as Juke Bounce Werk, Gimme A Break Records and Practical Rhythms.

This new EP will be her first on the Lobster Theremin sublabel and we couldn't think of a more perfect label for this deeply impressive body of work, which effortlessly switches between skippy 2-step and slamming breaks and is all held together with an irresistibly bass-heavy & club-ready aesthetic.

Today we happily premiere Slippy Bxtch, the first track from the EP, a wobbly 2-step banger guaranteed to heat up the dancefloor.

Femme Fatale EP is out this Friday. Buy here > https://cheekymusicgroup.bandcamp.com/music

Next up we have the super talented @sageintrospekt !!! Sage has been flying the UK flag all the way from Los Angeles, California - pushing some of the most exciting new 2step, UK Garage and Breaks. It's been sick watching Sage' growth as an artist and some of the music that she's got forthcoming is ridiculous. Serious one to watch.

Foundation FM + Introspekt 26.01.2023 - Mix Hour Worldwide Residency

Edition of 300 vinyl:
shallnotfade.co.uk/album/forlorn-ep

Los Angeles’ UKG stalwart brings us the latest Time Is Now release: a 140BPM 5-track special sure to rip open any dancefloor.

Although Sage Hunt wasn’t born into the UK hardcore continuum, the UK hardcore continuum was decidedly born into her. In the space of her relatively short career, they have fast become one of the scene’s most recognised names, having shared lineups with the likes of Conducta, Sam Binga, collaborated with Oakland badgal bored lord, and appeared on our last TIN compilation alongside Soul Mass Transit System with Sexy Thing. Forlorn EP showcases what else the UKG fanatic has tucked up her sleeve, slammed with big and bad warped basslines, raga vocals and saxophone atmospherics. Strap in!

Lick It

T4T LUV NRG affiliate Introspekt comes through with a buoyant soundtrack for your end-of-year celebrations. 

“The intention behind this mix was groove and bounce," Introspekt says of the hour-long mix. "I wanted to touch on various styles of garage (and the adjacent genres I play) while focusing primarily on the classic 4x4 garage sound. The bulk of this mix weaves back and forth between lush garage house vibes and dubbed-out 4x4. I round it all off with a few heavy 2-step rhythms…”

INTROSPEKT: Dubstep is a Feeling 020224

Last year, when we wrote that "the best UK garage is coming out of Los Angeles," we were talking about Introspekt. The US DJ, who has since moved to New York, really understands the genre—its appeal, swing and unique, bassy whomp. Listen to any of her tracks, like last year's "Forlorn," and you'll hear someone who produces like she's been making UKG all her life. This is probably partly because she comes from a dubstep background, but either way, if you're looking for new UK garage beats, Introspekt is one of the best going right now.

Her DJing also hits a distinct sweet spot, zeroing in one of the proto-dubstep, dark UK garage days when producers like El-B were making the hottest shit around. Her sound is both retro and forward-looking, as you'll hear on her RA Podcast, which balances vintage Big Apple cuts from Skream & Benga with new-school tunes from Amaliah and Surusinghe. It's not so much a throwback as it is a rejuvenation of an old sound—a new way to look at it and a new way to make it. If hindsight is 20/20, then Introspekt has perfect vision, and mixes like this are the perfect way to educate listeners, make them move and innovate a little in the process.

RA.929 Introspekt

American artist Introspekt (@sageintrospekt) has a sound rooted in the darker side of UKG but comes at it from a unique perspective that incorporates elements of US garage and ballroom. The LA-born, NYC-based talent has now made her mark in Europe as a DJ and a producer on labels like Eris Drew and Octo Octa's T4T LUV NRG. Her style blends heavy basslines, diva vocals and well-crafted broken beats into something that harks back to the sounds that once came out of the likes of Paradise Garage and Club Zanzibar, always with a focus on bringing up her own community.

She says that the idea behind this week's mix was "to take the listener on a journey through tech-garage sonics and intergalactic dancehall rhythms." Tracks of her own and those from Skream, Holloway, Hatcha, Phuturistix and many more all plot a line through earth-shatteringly heavy rhythms from across the past, present and future of garage, dubstep and bass. It's a mix aimed at both body and head from this formidable talent and is a great taste of what to expect from her when she plays Dekmantel Festival later in the year.

Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/3BuWlWw

@sageintrospekt collapses "past, present and future" into a timeless mix.

"I’ve done a lot of planning for it. The theme behind the mix is ‘Past, Present, Future’, which is obviously the theme of FWD>>. There’s this idea in my music and a lot of my peer’s music as well where, as opposed to a linear, progressive idea of time, there’s this thread of more recursive or cyclical view of time and temporality. There’s gonna be a lot of deep cuts and classics, but also a lot of new stuff, and new stuff that sounds like old stuff. So that’s the theme of this mix: collapsing past, present and future into one totality."
