Shetlands raised, Malmö based producer Bolam has been building quite the reputation for himself with his exciting blend of future-facing UK techno, breakbeat, jungle and electro. Following a release on London’s Control Freak Recordings, Cheeky Music Group welcomes the emerging artist to the roster with the Thunderclap EP.

The title track is a left-field leaning blend of experimental electronics, pace-building techno and large breaks, all tied together under an umbrella of hair-raising atmospherics designed to excite and alarm. ‘Hype Shifter’ makes playful use of grimey textures and tones as this subby cut of breakbeat ventures deep into the underground with elements of Baltimore club.

‘Indecipherable’ is self-descriptive; a mutated electro cut that lends from a large pool of sub-genre to create something totally unique. Wait for the vocals after the halfway point, here Bolam has crafted one of the most exciting crossover tracks of the year.

Closing out the EP is TRULE bossman and man of the hour Al Wooton. The artist formerly known as Deadboy turns in a typically bassy, stripped back breaks remix of ‘Hype Shifter’ - one that should be going straight in any UK sound heads cart.

Weighing in with more of the deadly payloads that make systems weep, Alan Johnson return to Sneaker Social Club to finish what they started on 2022's The Stillness EP.

Gareth and Tom's sharp instinct for the fundamentals of crushing half-step pressure remain undiminished on this latest EP. Their sound palette reaches across contrasting strands of music culture, and every bar is teeming with micro details of sound design which give the tracks a living, breathing quality.

The JUDDER label is back with the next part of its VA compilation. This time, we have something special — ten DJ-friendly tracks and tools, half of which were created exclusively using live gear. As usual, the concept of the series remains intact, bringing together seasoned true-to-the-craft professionals and rising newcomers.

Kercha leads the compilation with an experimental, grime-influenced tool simply titled "33". On the more breakbeat-leaning side, we have Unbroken Dub with his slow-paced, reflective story-teller "Other Desert Cities"; Cultrow, who is quite literally "Killin'" it with a stripped-back weapon that evolves into a half-time dubstep rattler before returning to its original pace; and JUDDER resident Oddkut, showcasing his interpretation of what can be called a tribal sound in "Tribal Trax", filled with subtle but ear-catching elements while maintaining a minimalist approach. Rotterdam’s very own Samwho isn’t far from the breakbeat and tribal vibe either, delivering an interesting hybrid with "Ura-Hara", featuring rhythms and shuffles inspired by earlier proto-dubstep productions. On the more experimental side, Anymodal takes things up a notch to virtually confuse the listener, bringing the concept of "slowfast" to a new level with his percussive-infused halfstep mind-blower "Tronic". Meanwhile, for those who like it simple, Raciya Bağdad demonstrates his gear-handling skills with a pretty straight-forward techno-tool "Vietnam Flashback", and Jovani Boa offers a clever yet discreet blend of acid and electro with "Flex Town". There’s even a hypnotic, easy-listening dub-techno fusion, courtesy of Dawn Razor and his track "Push 'n' Pull". Lastly, this time up-and-coming producer Anned is honored to round off the compilation with her gritty track "Annoying Hornet", reminding everyone what JUDDER and its sonic vision are all about.

The second instalment of the JUDDER compilation has not only gathered artists with diverse backgrounds, production styles, and approaches but also a wide range of genres and styles, carefully curated and blended to create a long-playing journey for listeners to explore.
