Pünktlich zum Bandcamp Friday erscheint am 02. April 2021, zeitgleich zum 9-jährigen Jubiläum der Münchener Bassschmiede BREAK IT DOWN, eine neue EP von Cruel Culture & Kit Curse. Gute Nachrichten also für alle Fans zeitgeistiger Bassmusik, die hier traditionell mit intelligent-komplexer Soundtextur zu überzeugen weiß. Inspiration ist hier durchaus das Zeitgeschehen 2020/21 – wie sollte es auch anders sein. Es entsteht dabei ein beindruckend kreativer Ausdruck dunkler Gedanken und Stimmungen. Depression in Moll als Escape Strategie, als Verarbeitung, vielleicht auch als Heilmittel.

Just in time for Bandcamp Friday, a new EP by Cruel Culture & Kit Curse will be released on April 2nd 2021, coinciding with the 9th anniversary of the Munich bass company BREAK IT DOWN. Good news for all fans of contemporary bass music, which traditionally knows how to impress with its intelligent, complex sound texture. Inspirations are definitely the current events of 2020/21 - how could it be any different. The result is an impressively creative expression of dark thoughts and moods. Depression in minor key as an escape strategy, as a processing, perhaps also as a remedy.

KOSHI - IKARUS EP [SYH006]

We present our next reference that comes to us from the hidden and talented newcomer Koshi, who debuts on our label with an incredible 4 Track EP called "Ikarus", where he leaves us with a vigorous and murky Halftime/Jungle composed of devastating drums and sounds with a certain old school flavor. Koshi has already been released on labels like Zodiac Music or Kurnugû showing off his powerful weapons and destructive sound, and now it's time for us to enjoy his amazing work on our label. Very excited to have Koshi on board with us, we hope you enjoy his work too!!!

KOSHI - IKARUS EP [SYH006] (Previews)

Out of Fuel return for their third and most sonically diverse outing yet on Translation with the Constellations EP, featuring collaborations with Fuj and Akinsa. The Finnish duo have spent the better part of a decade exploring the deeper and more experimental side of the 170 spectrum in their Helsinki-based studio, in their DJ sets abroad, and on their monthly IDA Radio show - Harmaa - which navigates the grey area between deep drum & bass and techno, often eschewing genre completely to explore the outer edges of electronic music. The amalgam of influences shines brightly on every track, from the half-time sounds of Background Radiation, to the deep and rolling title-track, Constellations, and the hypnotic, slow-burning Gravity Well.
Artwork for this release comes courtesy of graphic designer, producer, and Ground Mass / Air Mass label boss Mark Kloud whose brilliant linocut can be found on a limited set of t-shirts and hand-pressed prints. Tracks mastered by Resound.

Full release on vinyl/digital 12th June 2020

Clarity’s first solo release on UVB-76 Music arrives in the form of a highly polished, firm footed quartet. Four grounded, heavyweight churners that sit proudly at the core of relevant Drum & Bass: Torsion, Stateless and Taking Effect.Across the three original compositions Clarity commands the frequencies of the contemporary breakbeat form. Completing the circle is Clarity’s remix of label mate Overlook’s All of Them Witches, an interpretive reimaging of an already bona- fide modern classic; poise, precision and execution.

Tracklist:
A1. Torsion
A2. Stateless
AA1. Taking Effect
AA2. Overlook - All of Them Witches (Clarity Remix)
