NOUVEAU PUNK SEASON 2 invites THE UNTOUCHABLES

In this episode, dive into the depths of the sonic spectrum, where infra bass reigns, with an exclusive set from The Untouchables.

Renowned for their ability to handle a wide array of soundscapes, from stripped-down minimalism to dub-infused textures, deep rhythms to percussive halfstep, their music is drenched in raw, distorted bass pressure.

In this mix, every new track is a discovery, a reflection of their carefully curated selection and signature style.

From stripped-down minimalism to dubwise textures, deep atmospheres and percussive halfstep, their sound is rooted in weighty, distorted low-end pressure, raw and uncompromising.

THE UNTOUCHABLES - NOUVEAU PUNK SAISON 2

As we lead in to the release of his debut Samurai Music EP 'Flaming As A Cloud', Vardae takes over the Samurai Music Podcast series with a live DJ set that captures his techno infused psychedelic hypnotism at 170 perfectly.

This set was recorded at Blitz Club in Munich for the Qeone label night on 29.03.2025

The latest transmission on Samurai tunes into half-time intensity with a psychedelic edge courtesy of leading French practitioner Vardae. Applying techno hypnotism and cinematic atmospheres to his snaking beat constructions, the Lyon-based artist delivers a pitch-perfect exercise in mystical meditation that follows a natural path from the Ancestral Voices LP.

Since first emerging around 2017, Vardae has been determined to establish a sound unbound by genre restrictions. To date he's successfully moved between cult labels such as Non Series and Ooda while pivoting from linear 4/4 to crooked broken beat without disrupting his immersive, finely sculpted production style.

Alongside his releases, Vardae is also responsible for the ouroboros festival that takes place every year in central France. Last summer, after the dancefloor closed on the final night of the the event, fabled Dutch transcendental ambient group Son Of Chi made an acoustic concert around the campfire that cast a spell over everyone present. This experience formed the inspirational basis for Vardae's new EP, drawing on the instinctive power of insistent rhythm and the spiritual intrigue that lies behind subtly dissonant tones — shadows cast by refined, restrained synthesis flickering in the imagined light of the flames.

From the rattle of timbale on 'The Light Motion' to the laser-focused ripples that charge through 'Voices Of Dispossession', Vardae bends and shapes his drum work with exacting intention across this EP. Treading the line between 85 and 170BPM, he approaches fierce peaks in his tracks with an exacting patience, building to the arp-soaked climax of 'Flaming As A Cloud' and its ecstatic, melodic crescendo.

Proudly individual and drawing from the deepest of musical experiences, Vardae's latest statement promises similarly profound moments when these pieces come into contact with the right souls and the right sound in the right setting.

The Untouchables – The Hidden Files [SMDE53]

Rerleased on Limited Edition (Marbled 12" and Digital
Pr-order - https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/the-hidden-files


A vault of deep pressure unlocked – The Hidden Files collects a set of heavyweight VIPs from The Untouchables, each a reimagined version of past dread-infused cuts. Typically crafted for — and reserved within — their own DJ sets, these alternate versions are now unearthed for wider transmission. 

Stripped back, rebuilt, and submerged in new layers of sub-weight, they explore a more introspective energy. Tension, restraint, and meditative pressure — the Brussels duo reveals hidden forms with signature finesse.

Marbled LP Edition Limited to 100
https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/lost-knowledge

Four years on from their landmark Grassroots, visionary half-time heavyweights The Untouchables return with their third album, Lost Knowledge. The duo of Kate McGill and Ajit ‘Nitrox’ Steyns have carved out a space in modern D&B all their own, building on a legacy that reaches back to the late 00s to keep pushing into unexplored terrain with an assured and deadly line in rhythmic intrigue and atmospheric immersion. 
 
Lost Knowledge launches into action instantly with the high-pressure drum science and dubby splashes of ‘Drunken Bells’, capturing the loopy techno propulsion and rolling intensity that drives so much of the output on Samurai Music. Where The Untouchables excel is in finding variety and nuance in their relatively forbidding, pared down sound.  

Nothing happens by accident or feels out of place — McGill and Steyns are in total control, and they demonstrate incredible range and inventive approaches within their focused style. The accent of the grooves shifts, and individual sounds carry all kinds of artefacts, yet everything gets folded into the exacting Untouchables sound with a liberal dubwise sensibility. Brimming with inspiration and immaculately produced, on Lost Knowledge their one-of-a-kind sound is stronger than ever.

The Untouchables - Heads High [SMDELP16]

A release by Love In The Endz

Merca Bae Presents: Down Theory, the second instalment in the label’s artist-led curation series, arriving 13th November. Curated by Merca Bae, the compilation delves into the landscape of Downtempo Bass music, intertwining between Dancehall, Tarraxo, Breaks, and Reggaeton. 

Through this release, Merca Bae spotlights the wide scope of Downtempo music and its continued presence across global underground scenes. Over the past few years, club music has trended toward higher BPMs and relentless, fast-paced energy, but Down Theory offers a space to explore slower, weightier & sexier rhythms as a way to embrace slower, bass-driven music in a club environment.

The project features contributions from Chá Di Lirian, Grindalf, and Entrañas, alongside established producers styn and Faraonika, and introduces Unayo and Tempo Fino, who debut their first productions under new aliases. 

Down Theory offers a cohesive yet wide-ranging snapshot of contemporary low-end experimentation.

First track out is by Maringá's very own, Chá Di LIirian - ahead of the full release on the 12th November.

scattered noises

desire a better country,

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
