Here, with Karpa, we had a clear vision. A dancefloor hit with a good sound and a catchy vocal. We chose G minor for its lively feel. The 1/8 bass will make every listener or raver move. I think the title "Showtime" was more than ideal. It captures our energy both behind the mix and in the studio. We wanted to show the world a bit of our lifestyle, how we experience almost every weekend, and our relationship with music and ravers - Zigi SC

I wanted to focus on improving my workflow and concentrate more on the music creation process. I was often influenced by external noises such as social media and the like. The title for the next track was clear, and I think it paid off. For the first time, I incorporated various details into the track, placing greater emphasis on sound design and overall composition. At the same time, I wanted to maintain a classic dance vibe with a solid groove - Zigi SC

The opening track sets a relentless tone, fusing sharp, surgical sound design with rolling beats. The trio crafts a gritty, tech-infused roller with deep bass growls and eerie atmospheres. "Hold Up" excels in its precision, offering a captivating listen while remaining dancefloor ready.

"Insanity" is a perfect example of the dark and minimal approach that defines this release. Dialective focuses on a sinister atmosphere, with haunting pads and stabs leading into a drop that’s full of intricate percussion and sub-bass pressure. The tension in this track is palpable, making it a standout.

Instinkt comes through with the heavy funked out roller "Payback" The track rides on a brutal bassline and punchy drum hits, staying true to the gritty, tech-driven vibe of the compilation. The energy is undeniable, with cleverly placed switches and detailed soundscapes keeping it fresh throughout.

"Blurred Features" takes the energy up a notch with razor sharp drum patterns and pulsating bassline. Vitim blends aggression with finesse, delivering a track that’s both chaotic and controlled. The expertly designed build-ups and breakdowns ensure this one hits hard in any mix.

Victim // Blurred Features // LTDC4C041 // OUT NOW!

Closing the EP, " Keratoconus" is a fitting finale. Akrom & Qua Rush channel a raw, chaotic energy, with distorted bass snarls and unrelenting drums driving the track. The sinister vibes continue here, blending tech and neuro influences seamlessly.

The40 Ep.3 - d mix

"When Dawn Breaks" is a testament to RIFT's potential and a promising addition to the drum and bass landscape. Its fusion of funk influences with the cold roller style offers a refreshing take on the genre. As RIFT continues to refine his sound, tracks like this position him as an artist to watch in the coming years.

Rift // When Dawn Breaks // LTDC4C042 // OUT NOW!

"Sun Skin" opens with a deep, rolling bassline that sets a moody yet groovy foundation. The track gradually introduces layers of crisp percussion and subtle melodic elements, creating a sense of anticipation. As it progresses, RIFT masterfully incorporates his funk elements into this unique groove.
