Merge Konflict live recording of his "Suffocated Soundz" show on www.theundergroundlair.fr

Suffocated Soundz | The Underground Lair | 2/20/25

Moakz's stunning debut album 'The Critical Path', releases on double 12" vinyl and digital on 6th June 2025. Beautifully mastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven, and with stunning artwork produced by Clayton Burke, the release finds the artist in fine form, with his uniquely crafted artisan approach showcasing the 'cinematic jungle' sound in full length for the first time.

After a series of releases over the past four years, the Southampton, UK-based DJ / Producer and co-owner / A&R of Codename: RCRDS finally drops his distinctive debut LP , drawing on influences as diverse as film scores, soul, jazz, post-rock and techno for a warm, deep and often emotional take on the drum and bass / atmospheric drumfunk sound.

The release includes the full LP and 3 digital only bonus tracks, exclusive to Bandcamp.

Laytn @aytonn steps up with a weighty selection for Make or Break Showcase 11, dropping a genre-blurring mix that flexes his own diverse influences and signature sounds. Starting strong at 140 BPM before ramping up to 170, this is a journey through bass-heavy terrain — from deep rollers and steppers to jungle and drum & bass breakbeat cuts.

Expect a stack of dubs, exclusives, and unreleased heat, including SR’s killer remix of Laytn’s forthcoming single “So Much Time” on Make or Break, plus standout tracks from the heavyweights:

Celebrating our 10th release, Kiene brings some smooth dreamy vibes to the label.

A side - After All This Time - is an atmospheric jungle piece packed with floating pads, sharp intricate breaks, and dubbed out chord stabs.

B side - Closing the Distance - has a more minimal and introverted feel, rolling out super lush ambience over sparse and distant drums, topped off with flowing vocals and a catchy arp line.
