Camouflage [Re-Release]

The Fire Next Time (intro)

Chill remix..had this song in my mind for hours...mala.//i do not own this music///

Mala - Alicia

Consistently at the leading-edge of underground bass music worldwide, it’s always an honor to bring you new music from J:Kenzo. On ZamZam 88 he steps up for his third Zam, and true to form it’s a masterclass on both sides. 

From the first second of the tune, “Traverse” teleports us straight into equatorial zones; humid spaces of dense green and animal calls from the canopy above. Deep pads and tribal percussion take a path to a driving 4/4 kick, in turn dropping into a massive, rolling bassline that recalls the best of late 2000s and early 2010s 135-140 while keeping the dub flourishes utterly fresh for the now. 

No stranger to garage, especially in his Jodo Kast identity, Kenzo satisfies our love for the form with “Deuce,” bringing the drums and vintage flavor again, but this time in the service of mightily-swung UKG in fine style, expertly dark & dubwise 2 Step that hits just right. Chopped, panned & verbed to perfection, this is hard yet subtle dance music from the roots that nods to the past & winks to the future of funk with the light touch of a don in his prime.

Soundcloud clips always recorded straight from the vinyl with flat EQ so you know what you're getting. 

Releasing mid-October 2022. Vinyl only, no digital. Limited to 800 copies for the world. Two color art & screen print by Polygon Press. Email zamzamsounds@gmail.com for more info.

Be Alright (ft Skiggy Rapz & Wudstik)

“The beats they make don’t sound like dubstep in the Burial sort of way—or early Skream—but more along the lines if the two spent a night in a jazz bar, smoked a blunt, and threw on some sort of velvet jumper.” -Thump Magazine

Chord Marauders has a beautiful double feature for our fortieth mix in the series. An hour from @Jafu and @flokapokaa each and a real show of what this label is all about.

Pre-order: https://orcd.co/oakk_imtfy

Melancholic, late-night bedroom pop, future-soul, chillwave, and DIY principles form ‘I Made This For You’, the debut album from @oakkmusic on @twtwlondon.

"'Too Bad' is the danciest track on the record, but even though it sounds like a fun little pop number, you guessed it - it’s a bummer! But also not," says OAKK. "It’s really about not wanting to let someone go, but discovering that you just can’t keep going or else it’s gonna cause you too much pain. That sucks!"

Kings Camber

Kings Chamber

TMC018 | Synkro - Kings Chamber EP | 10"

A collaboration of two musicians - Marenn Sukie (Bristol) and Coubo (Tbilisi), who are known to connoisseurs of soulful, deep beat-oriented electronics all over the world. Minor synth harmony, gentle female vocal sample, skillful drum work and percussions and enveloping bass turn the track into a gentle and at the same time weighty impulse of the soul. Pure magic from two talents.
