EPs 2021

By now it’s common knowledge that Etch is one of the brightest sparks working in the field of contemporary breakbeat mangling. The Brighton-based producer has the depth of knowledge about breaks, and the expressive affinity for how to slice and rearrange them, to rank among some of the greats. We’re talking Photek, Paradox, Source Direct levels of drum science here. Of course he’s more than just a break slicer too – look no further than last year’s Strange Days LP on Seagrave for a more widescreen angle on the Etch sound.

Toasting five years since we first carried some of Zak Brashill’s advanced junglisms on Sneaker, and three since his 2018 album Ups & Downs, we’re thrilled to welcome him back for an excursion into the heart of his drumfunk practice. On the A side of this single the sound field is sparse and taut, echoing the stripped-back, minimalistic atmosphere Paradox just brought to SNKR029. All emphasis is on the drums, and the staggering contortions they’re bent into. Where there is additional sonic dressing, it comes in noirish chord drops and distant celestial vapours that add to the palpable sense of tension.

By the contrast the B-side welcomes in a little more human warmth, with a vocal hook on ‘Shadows Passed By’ that calls back to Smith & Mighty’s flip of the Bacharach soul standard ‘Walk On By’, and a collaboration with Luo that trades in blue-tinted vibes and airy diva vocals. In both instances, needlepoint beat programming is still key and an overall sense of restraint guides the composition, lingering in a sustained mood rather than breaking out in excess drama. Etch sounds more accomplished and in control than ever on this 12”, and we’re honoured to be releasing such vital additions to the jungle narrative.

Kuwaq Yaku is a tribal track merging influences from old school dub, and techno, between the two phases. It's a track I've been sitting on for quite a while and has had 3 different names leading up to this release 🤣

'Kuwaq Yaku' is a location from a Tomb Raider playthrough I loved, and I feel the Mayan areas in the location harnessed the tribal feel of the track.

Hope you enjoy! Big thanks to @im-zonna on the stellar master everytime!

Prozak has had Dublin bubbling with his infectious take on the garage genre, pushing him far and wide thanks to a deadly backlog of releases under his growing discography, and is now taking his sonic soundwaves to Hardline Records with his 'HARD26' EP. 

Whether it’s a cold and calculated headsy 2-step number or a viral speed garage bootleg, the talented producer leaves a memorable impression wherever he goes. Having already released on prestigious labels such as Kiwi Records, ec2a, INSTINCT, and Time Is Now, and heavily supported by the likes of MALUGI, Silva Bumpa, and Interplanetary Criminal, the Irish maverick maintains his strong and constant ascent.

Hard hitting breaks meet warped acid lines and sharp rave stabs. Floaty, experimental touches cut through the weight — raw and driving.

JPEG - Spook

Haunting yet grounded, Ashes to Matter unspools like a ritual in bass pressure. SIM crafts a slow-burning, low-end sculpture where distorted textures flicker beneath spacious delays. Industrial ambient meets soundsystem alchemy; this one isn’t built for the peak time, it’s for the reckoning after. The air between kicks is thick with memory, echoing something ancient in modern decay.

On Whipback, SIM flips the tempo with razor-sharp flair — a jagged, serpentine rhythm that snaps back with unsettling precision. Think bashment fed through a wormhole, landing somewhere between futuristic club workouts and warehouse hypnosis. The mix is raw, dynamic, and delightfully wrong-footing. You won’t know whether to wine or brace for impact — either way, resistance is futile.

Taking First

PAR004 | HENRY GREENLEAF - TAKING FIRST EP

Following a stellar run of jungle and breakbeat-oriented releases including the foundational Foul Play Origins set and the visionary proto-retro styles of X-Altera, Sneaker Social Club welcome a true master of drum science. 

As Paradox and Alaska, Dev Pandya has been setting standards and breaking new ground in breakbeat hardcore, jungle and drum & bass since the dawn of the culture. He was right there at the start of Moving Shadow, has graced seminal labels like Reinforced, Good Looking and Metalheadz and steered his own Paradox Music, Esoteric and Arctic Music as vessels for a huge body of work. Still toting his Amiga for live gigs and putting out bonus 12”s loaded with samples for producers, Pandya’s passionate commitment to the culture is evident in everything he does. Nowhere does that shine through more than in his needlepoint flair for break editing and drum programming – the calling card of the Paradox sound. 

It’s a huge honour to host two original Paradox tracks on Sneaker. We’re treated to full-fat Paradox percussion alchemy on “Octa4” as he teases out the intensity around a salvo of dancehall toasting samples, trickling each progressive layer of rhythm into the mix with the patience and poise of a true master. “Proceed” leans on dub techno atmospherics and a taut funk break that occasionally cuts loose into a ride-splashing fill, but once again the message here is one of heads-down restraint. Across both tracks the emphasis is on the fine print – each composed drum hit and subtle shift of FX – while riding deep in a masterfully constructed groove. Proof, if ever it were needed, why Pandya is the king of understated D&B excellence.

Paradox - Proceed

Taking First is a follow up to 2018’s “Fold Together”, continuing from a flurry of releases on ARTS, Glasstalk and Wellstreet Records, Greenleaf goes into deeper exploration of his unique stylistic template.

The overleaf takes us further into the club with the soothing rave-tape nods of ‘NOFM’.
