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.

Info: We're delighted to announce that on his Stimulation EP, Uneven is taking his production style from the 2024 Density EP to new heights. The four drum and bass tunes are just right, with a nice mix of militant breakbeats, aggressive subs and expansive soundscapes. While 'Brutalism' echoes on concrete, 'Underscore' marches to its own drumbeat. Almanac maintains the energy levels, and the title track brings the EP to a close in madness.

Out Now: microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/gradient-lp

Nuage emerges with a tantalising collection of 2-step tear-jerkers on his latest album 'Gradient' releasing via Microfunk Music on September 19th.

For over a decade, Nuage has built a reputation as one of electronic music’s most emotive voices, with celebrated releases on Project Mooncircle, Anjunadeep, 20/20 Vision, and Phonica Records, and regular radio support from BBC Radio 1. Following the vibrant Music of Branches (Absys, 2013), the lushly introspective Prints of You (Translation, 2014), and the genre-bending WILD (Project Mooncircle, 2017), Gradient marks a natural next step, refining his signature blend of moody synths, floating melodies, and broken 2-step rhythms into something intimate, ethereal, and timeless.

Each track on Gradient feels like a precious gem, balancing restraint and atmosphere with a subtle pull toward the dancefloor. UKG-inspired grooves set the foundation for much of the record, carrying Nuage’s trademark weightless touch. “Pausepoint” stands out as a highlight, where Nuage teams up with Microfunk Music label head Bop to push the tempo into drum & bass territory, providing a dynamic counterpoint to the album’s meditative flow. The surrounding tracks lean into hazy textures and shimmering percussion that unfold like half-remembered dreams.

Over the years, Nuage has become known for crafting electronic music that feels as personal as it is expansive, soundtracks for both solitary reflection and communal release. Gradient distills that duality, offering a record that is as much about listening as it is about movement, carried by a rare sensitivity to atmosphere and rhythm.
