Canis x Sirius debut on Vibe City with Liquid DnB Heater ‘Cold Ways’ A Festival Season Finale Like No Other!

As we proudly welcome back one of the most exciting duos in Drum & Bass: Canis x Sirius. 

Their brand new EP, ‘Cold Ways’, drops this August as a four-track masterclass in emotionally charged, atmospheric DnB that’s built to close out festival season in unforgettable fashion.

Canis x Sirius first made waves in late 2024 with their standout appearance on the Vibe City compilations under Dirtbox Recordings, a moment that helped spark the idea for Vibe City to evolve into a full-fledged label. 

Their cinematic sound, blending deep rolling grooves with emotive melodies, immediately resonated with fans and DJs alike. 

Fast forward to 2025, and the father-son duo have gone from strength to strength. Following the release of two highly-praised solo EPs on Dirtbox earlier this year, UKF took notice, sitting down with the pair for an intimate Father’s Day feature that explored their journey as a family carving out a name in the ever-evolving DnB landscape.

Now, with their third EP of the year, Canis x Sirius return to where it all began, delivering a project that embodies the heart of the Vibe City mission: rich, melodic, and forward-thinking Liquid Drum & Bass.

A nod to their roots, and a bold step into the next chapter of their rise.

Canis X Sirius “Cold Ways” lands August 15th exclusively on Beatport & Spotify before worldwide release 2 weeks later.

Dirtbox Recordings Presents "In Your House" 040- Fade Duster

Dirtbox Recordings proudly returns with Cities: Episode 5, the latest installment in our ongoing series spotlighting international Drum and Bass talent and the diverse sonic flavours they bring from their corners of the globe.
 
This fifth chapter sees the return of The Maniatics to Dirtbox, the explosive trio from Seville, Spain, who deliver a blistering crunchy Neuro roller that embodies their raw, high energy sound.

Known for their unrelenting style and innovative production, The Maniatics once again deliver a track destined to tear up dancefloors.

Joining them is Diode, hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. A now-regular name on the Dirtbox roster. Diode continues to carve out his place in the Dirtbox legacy, showcasing his signature blend of gritty textures and razor-sharp grooves that perfectly complement the Cities ethos.

The Cities series has already featured heavy hitters such as Slaine (Birmingham, UK), Lee UHF (Sheffield, UK), Erbass (Sao Paulo, Brazil), and ESKR (Albuquerque, New Mexico) each artist bringing their unique take on Drum and Bass and representing their hometowns with pride.

With future episodes already in the pipeline, fans can look forward to upcoming showcases from places like Bedford, UK, The Colony, Texas, and St. Petersburg, Russia. The Dirtbox vision for Cities is simple: unite the global DnB community and highlight the sounds shaping our scene, one city at a time.

1/ Maniatics- “Dont Look In The Mirror”

"Don't Look in the Mirror" is a mind-bending journey into the darker side of Neuro rollers.

Opening with an eerie, tension-soaked intro and a massive drum build, the track wastes no time setting a cinematic tone before dropping into its haunting title vocal sample.

From there, it launches headfirst into a filthy, chugging bassline layered with trippy textures, pitch-bent madness, and twisted reverse bass stabs that keep the listener off balance.

The breakdown offers no real relief, just a moment to catch your breath before Maniatics unleash a second drop packed with relentless kick-driven rhythm, razor-sharp percussion, and unpredictable structure. 

It’s chaotic, warped, and brilliantly executed, pure dancefloor destruction.

2/ Diode- “Europa”

"Europa" sees Diode at his devastating best, delivering a relentless Neurofunk weapon packed with energy and atmosphere.

The track opens with haunting vocal samples and sharp stab synths that immediately set a chilling, horror-inspired tone.

As the tension builds, it erupts into a full-throttle drop, a surge of adrenaline powered by snarling basslines and razor-edged drums. The midsection keeps the suspense high, returning to eerie vocals and cinematic stabs before launching back into the chaos for a second round.

It’s a massive neuro banger with serious dancefloor impact, executed with Diode’s unmistakable precision.

Neurofunk Podcast #4

@Double-Medley

Diode sat in silence, as the freight hauler drifted through the scorched sky, its hull rattling from the fallout of the Heart Compound incursion.

His optic dimmed to conserve power, the data feeds slowing now that the Hive was gone. Earth’s digital chains had shattered, but something else had shifted in the system, an unease, a new signal threading through the static.

As he crossed into dead airspace above the Rockies, an encrypted alert surged through the ship’s comms. 

A bounty. High-value. No signature. A kill order traced back to the relic who had dismantled NERV3’s neural core. Him.

Then came the intercept markers—two approaching heat signatures moving far too fast for atmospheric craft. Precision vectors. Perfect formation. No attempt to mask their arrival. Double Medley. 

There was no need for introduction. DIODE’s internal archives brought up grainy black files, combat footage, wreckage, and shredded Cells Interlinked units left twitching in bloodied steel.

The duo were biomechanical executioners, born in shadow labs and whispered about in survivor enclaves like urban myths. 

Some believed Cells Interlinked was never meant to save the world, only to breed prey worthy of their hunt.

And now, with NERV3 gone, the hunt turned inward.

No dialogue. No warning.

Just the distant flicker of blades lighting up the clouds. One descending like a meteor of rust and flame.

The other dragging a glowing chain of skull-coded data cores, each one still humming with post-mortem memory signals.

Diode’s system, suddenly locked into battle mode. His spine ports hissed open. Combat subroutines flared, slow from disuse but still alive, still angry.

He rerouted energy from auxiliary to core shielding, knowing full well it wouldn't be enough. Not against them.

Above the broken world, where clouds bled static and the stars had long since shut their eyes, the last Relic prepared for war. The kind that doesn’t end in survival, only in how long the memory lasts.

This wasn’t survival anymore. This was legacy.

Estonian-Russian drum and bass duo Double Medley, known for their dark, techy, and atmospheric sound, make a powerful debut on VTO Records with an outstanding two-track EP that's been causing serious mayhem across the world.

Having already made waves with releases on labels like Neuropunk, Paperfunk, and Cataclysm Recordings, the pair (German and Nikita) continue their rise with this high-impact release.

This EP is a testament to their evolving sound and solidifies their place among the new wave of forward-thinking drum and bass producers.
