Sub Basics - Untitled 279

Introducing a new monthly mix from dbrk_lab resident @djsasomusic

SASO is a DJ and producer from originally from Texas who’s journey and introduction to music came at a early age, when she learned to play the drums at age four. Music was always playing in the house, from her dad’s band practices, to her older sisters Drum & Bass CD’s blasting.

Fast forward to today, SASO has been djing since 2008 and is a artist who takes influence from 90’s D&B, ghettotech electro. She’s known for her fast paced mixing style, and lots of sass & plenty of percussive, bass heavy tracks sure to keep you feeling energized.

For this mix, she wanted to provide a stripped back “Summer Mix” that offers something you can play by the pool, trust it’s got the heat. Enjoy!

A Rhythm Protects One

Suede

Is dark funky back? Kaval is working hard to revive this more or less forgotten genre.

In contrast to the enthusiastic nature of most of the tracks in the main UK Funky genre, the darker sub-genre has a much more ominous atmosphere and more minimalist rhythms. Sometimes very Uk funky, sometimes close to grime, Uk techno, early dubstep or even hard drum. It's this side that I wanted to revive by concocting these tracks at different tempos.

Always using my usual process: MPC, Samples, Ragga-Dancehall vocals, Drums , texture & video game sfx!

Beware of ghosts 👻


PREMIERE : Kaval - Badness Dub

As PR.A.DO gears up for our next Festival Não Existe, an EP feels essential to set the mood. The full release arrives on Gop Tun Records this October 10.

Pr.a.do is an absolute master of unexpected perspective. Just when the listener settles into an understanding, this producer—one of the most celebrated names in the new Brazilian scene—grabs the handbrake (while the car is clearly moving at full speed) to reveal a thrilling alternative path.

His history is unique: his foundational influences came directly from his family, specifically DJs Persival and Gustavo Balleste. Since launching his career in 2018, Pr.a.do has consistently demonstrated his genius with acclaimed releases on labels like DSRPTV, Banana Gold , U’re Guay Records, and Nug-Net, not to mention his own successful label and collective, Subliminar Records.

His return to Gop Tun Records is a huge cause for celebration. After all, his 2022 EP, Rea$ons, remains a high-water mark in our discography, and any new venture from this polymath warrants an instant holiday proclamation. Aptly titled “Déjà Vu,” this new collection is built on the same deep, foundational elements of the 90s industrial dance, where driving Analog and FM synths, romplers and old sample CD’s meets the best sweaty dance floor.

PREMIERE: PR.A.DO - Field [Gop Tun]

Four years ago, I started the idea of this song, I had just moved to the house that I currently own, the house number is “oh - six”. In this house, I lost many things, even myself. But I also found happiness and hope.
“Oh - six” is a song that reflects that feeling of loss and hope.

Enjoy it!! Grab a copy on my bandcamp 💾

Supported by: Raresh, Trommel and Sakro.

Me&MyDog - oh-six (I lost myself mix)

October 2025 marks exactly ten years since the first broadcast of Radio Punctum. It was an episode of the show Altershapes that aired live from a makeshift studio, shared as a Shoutcast streaming URL on forums as it seceded from the now-defunct Radio Streetculture to found its own station.

To celebrate this special occasion, we are releasing a massive compilation featuring music from our station's past and present residents, friends, and collaborators.

The curatorial aim was to capture the breadth of our musical programming.

Expect anything from ambient to goregrind, ambitious experimental pop to outsider songwriters, and meticulous digital soundscapes to electro and gabber bangers, as well as electronic post-punk stylings — all mastered with great care by Yukimura at Mustakillah Studio.

And so concludes the first ten years of this traveling circus.

Drop out, turn on, tune in!

Release Date: November 28th, 2025
Info: Hailing from Joburg, South Africa, and now based in Bristol, UK, Lo Chi is DJ and producer carving out a unique space in the realms of bass music and techno. His sound, defined by deep sub-bass, sharp textures and dark atmospheres, showcases a mastery of syncopation and hypnotic rhythms. With contemporaries like Henry Greenleaf, Sub Basics and Javano, along with support from influential figures such as Lamont or Yak, Lo Chi is an artist deserving greater recognition in the current electronic music landscape.
“Dead Man’s Switch” marks Lo Chi’s sophomore EP and his debut solo release on Dead Trax, following contributions to the label’s various artists compilations. Featuring 5 original cuts that range from 120 to 130 BPM, DDTX005 is a testament to his creativity and versatility, reflecting the innovative spirit of Bristol’s underground sound.
In Lo Chi’s words, “this EP concludes some moments within my continued practice in production; Some inspired by trips to Berlin’s club scene, some galvanised by mid winter days inside with cyclical rhythm. Each track feels to be a principal example of its palette, extended over 6 years. Love to Henry, Ed, Dean, Benji and Tony for their continued faith.”
