Offshore EP

A2. Sub Basics - E443 (Out Now!!!)

@sub-basics's EP Cause & Effect will be Bait's first ever vinyl release. He's a key UK figure in the deep dubstep scene who has had big support for his tunes on the likes of Lion Charge, Foundation Audio and Juan Forte from Ben U.F.O. and Kia. First up he links with Toura for the liquid rhythms of 'Cause' while 'Effect' gets more prickly with a ticking lead synth and deep underwater dub vibes. 'Call' brings some deft melody and more trance-inducing grooves while closer 'Response' is a nice and punchy dub techno cut with ice-cold hi-hats.

You can now pre-order the vinyl via Juno.

After 15 years in the game, with over 60+ vinyl records pressed, including several "001s", I am very excited to finally be launching my own thing (better late than never hey).

001 - Pugilist - Monument

The concept for Ruff Kutz as an idea came about last year after doing the 3 releases exclusive to Bandcamp as an outlet for my own productions that didn't get picked up by labels. Lots of people messaged me about vinyl. including a big push from dear friend and musical luminary Stormn Norm aka Mr Modern Hypnosis. He put me in touch with Sequence Distribution and they have been amazing to work with - helping me get this off the ground quickly!

The label will be the main outlet for most of my productions going forward - focussing on quality over quantity and with no set rules for a particular sound or tempo: expect the unexpected! The first release encompasses what I think is my sound, and is a nod to my musical past whilst aiming to remain fresh and create timeless music.

Techno influence has always been something I have tried to incorporate into my productions, but I have never released a full Techno track - until now! The A side track 'Monument' is a rolling piece of soulful machine music, made to induce euphoria on the dancefloor with its 10 min run time, Dubby chords, groovy Latin percussion and melancholic pads. Homage to a lot of the 90s and early noughties Techno sounds that I am so fond of!

I couldn't think of doing the first release on the label without at least 1 Dubstep track on it, and given it's the genre I cut my teeth in - I did 2 inna pug-step style. Deep and dubbed out. B1 'Mannequin' is an introspective half-stepper with a laid back, techy feel to it. The staccato sub bass keeps the track grooving under the delicate chords and is sure to get the scoops moving!

On the B2 we have 'Run It' a hazy 2-step style tune (so hot right now) with forward thinking production, an off kilter groove, hypnotic bass and a few classy wubs thrown in for good measure. Think Horsepower Productions meets Livity Sound. Stinky!

Available through Bandcamp, and up for pre-order through the usual suspects very soon! No Spotify sorry, you have got to stick to your morals!

Thanks so much for the support, and here is to hopefully many more.

B2 - Pugilist - Run It - CLIP

Carré debuts on Woozy with Meltdown, the label’s third installment on wax. An exciting new iteration for the dubstep blueprint, three weighty and heady half steppers in the proudest one-forty tradition with a modern dub-club twist. Comes with two striking remixes from legends dBridge and NVST.

On Meltdown, Carré  ( @carreo ) mines closer to the dub core of her sound than ever before. The title track signals the intent, a memorable hook cascading into melodic view before the lurched momentum locks in to its sweeping bassline for pure dancefloor symbiosis. Crawler goes wider, a giddy stepper that’s dynamic swing twirls excitedly on a 2 step pivot until dissolving into a plummeting stomp for ignition. Season Seven sharpens up with a seductive pout-lip, moving loose and free across the stretchy wobbles, peppered vocals and sunrise-addled serenity. On remix duties, a pioneer and modern hero apply their inimitable touch. Exit Records hero dBridge ( @dbridge_exitrecords )restrings Meltdown as a chromatic DnB roller, gliding taut within the original’s hook to the finest looping hoods-up, heads-down conclusion. NVST’s ( @ghettonast ) OLDSCHOOL VERSION of Season Seven unlocks its journey potential, the psychedelic tremors galloping deep across the wriggling path, digging into her unrivalled excavation of techno deconstruction.

WZY005 breathes vitality into defined sounds and styles, a stunning EP from Carré of singular intent and unique voice.
