DROOGS017 makes its return with a 12" courtesy of Quartz in the form of a razor-sharp two-tracker, showcasing his trademark precision and stripped-back engineering.

The A-side, “Duplicity,” is a masterclass in minimalism cold, skeletal, and immersive, driven by tight basslines and subtle rhythmic shifts. Quartz proves that less truly can hit harder.

On the flip, “Black Prism” a collaboration with Overlook dives into raw ’90s techstep territory. Choppy breaks and haunting stabs build relentless pressure before giving way to a surprisingly blissful finale.

Quartz continues to cement his reputation as one of drum & bass’s most distinctive modern voices.

The Untouchables will bring on Black Rhino Radio the music and style they love, featuring fresh music from their studio & from the artists they like. The show will also benefit from some guest appearances from The Untouchable's favorite roster of artists.

No matter the music, the guest, or the style they use, these guys will keep pushing the Bass side of things.

Bass Music w/ The Untouchables & Clearlight (20.08.2025)

J-Kon - Inherit The Moon (Homemade Weapons Remix)

J-Kon - Swarm

The first release in the semblk series sets an uncompromising tone for this new imprint dedicated to darker, more introspective strains of 170 bpm music. Limited to just 30 lathe-cut black label plates, encased in full artwork handmade screen-printed sleeves, this series is clearly aimed at collectors and those who cherish the tactile, raw experience of vinyl.

Kicking things off is Hungarian producer St.Iff with The Repressed Urge, a four-track exploration of the shadowy edges of drum & bass, jungle, and halfstep. The A1 title track immediately plunges into murky depths with tense atmospherics and fractured percussion. On A2, St.Iff teams up with Manchester’s Artilect for “Percival,” pushing the momentum into a brooding jungle roller laced with ghostly pads and shuffling breaks. Flip to the B side and “Hollow Out” continues the descent, stripping things back with skeletal drums and cavernous low-end pressure that feels almost ritualistic. The closing track, “Urawa,” sees St.Iff joined by Focal Point for a bleak halfstep excursion, where sparse kicks echo through dense fogs of texture, amplifying the EP’s psychological pull.

Written & produced by St.Iff, Artilect & Focal Point
