Dipping our toes back into our less aggressive side, UK Garage don @on1uk joins us for KIX012 - Since joining us for our event in 2019, On1 has appeared on Rinse FM, Mode fm and Subtle Radio to name a few, he has pushed a few of his releases onto wax and definitely shows promise in both his productions and live sets in the future.

London based, Birmingham born, he's been making a name for himself in the garage scene the past year or two thanks to his high energy sets and moody productions. Taking a lot of inspiration from pioneers such as El-B, Zed Bias, Steve Gurly (just to name a few) during the period where UK garage music was getting progressively darker, On1 is fully immersed in the culture this movement brought forward. This sound massively influenced his productions and still does. By blending infectious and skippy 2-step percussion with powerful gritty basslines you know when he's on the buttons.

KIX015 - PEAKY BEATS [DUB/UKG/140]

T_Pazos - Na Maciota (Original Mix)

Based in Bristol, Ekto a.k.a. @erst-dj is a producer & DJ that takes the sounds of 90s rave and hardcore and twists them into new shapes - his productions can take influence from anything from the dubbed out grooves of bleep techno to full throttle jungle breakbeat chaos. In collaboration with @hartta, “The Happy Hardcore Hit of the Summer” takes the euphoric fairground stabs and diva vocals of happy hardcore, and sends them in a darker direction.

Out now on streaming platforms + available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️
