The Rabbit, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, symbolizes longevity, peace, and most suitable for the Unchained trajectory, creativity.  

Each year we set out to collate a mélange of ambiguous club-ready electronic whilst doing our part to cross that apparent divide between drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, footwork, grime and other members of the extended bass family.

We haven’t always been wed to the massive banger alone, but we have to admit, we always will be obsessed. We don’t consider ourselves possessed by sonic slabs that are looped beyond recognition, but we hold them in high regard just the same. 

So with that in mind, curating the Year of the Rabbit compilation took some time this year.

The Year Of The Rabbit showcases artists both emerging and established from China, Russia, England, Holland, and the United States. Be it wonky, divergent, mutant, deep, or simply in the vein of the pure epic club banger, every producer has something remarkable and distinctive going on.

We introduce and welcome back our 2023 Year of the Rabbit artist crew: Subp Yao, Radiax, Lakeway, Danky, Neve, Harka, Doctor Jeep, Leo Cap, Kray, Trophy, Airstrike, Throe, Pllfry and Dynamic Stab. 

Love,

Unchained

𝕍𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤 𝔸𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕤 - 𝔻𝕚𝕡𝕝𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕒 [𝕍𝔽𝕆.𝟙𝟜] 

Strange autumn rains are falling, revealing hidden pathways.
Time for 𝕍𝕚𝕣𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝔽𝕠𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕥 ℝ𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤 to bear a new twin fruit.

𝔻𝕚𝕡𝕝𝕠𝕡𝕚𝕒 is a celebration - of our beloved corner of the underground, of community beyond geographical borders, of creative interconnection. Thirteen masterful collaborative tracks from all corners of the world, by spearheads of the underwater avant-garde, ranging from the darkest dubstep to the most abyssal tribe. The soul and essence of tomorrow's hybrid deep-end scene, condensed into a timeless gemstone.

French elegance on call, 𝕄𝕒𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕒 & ℚ𝕒𝕟𝕥 conspire together to produce 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 - atomised dubstep with point-cloud drums and scattered shards of light. 
Sound design as a statement, composition as a science.
