“Set Mi Free” by Cindered Heart is a rebel cry through the smoke — roots reggae soul drenched in truth, pain, and hope. Rasta wisdom flows through haunting dub echoes, heavy basslines, and pure lyrical fire. A track for the lost, the defiant, and the ones still searching.

they say love gone is love dead
but nah me family nah me bredren
love dont die
it just transform it just transform

breathe deep

through di tears
through di fire yeah mon you cyan live again
member in jahs light we all be one

everything has to break
so it can mend again
ire mon

fi all who feel lost
fi all who feel da pain
let da riddim remind ya
we rise again as more wit nah end
wit nah end in

mama cry quiet cold in the corner
fadda went ghost now the shadows get darker
heart full o thunder burnin like sulfur
but if nothin change
nothin get bolder

city too cold so jah teach me home
wheels keep turnin on steel and in mi bones
heart seen pain wearin friendly names
devil whispers sweet but he playin games

da tell the youth go chase the chains
but chains still bind and the weight remains
da family cry out and mi been to weak to keep
jah remind me what dis mean what dis mean

hate too hot it sear mi chest
let it go let jah do the rest help me pass dis test
feet move slow but the path stay right
one love one blood we walk bein da light

jah light mi path when i cant see
love still bloom from seed to tree
hold tight mi bredren mi family
an hold tight mi queen
rise from ashes pure and clean

heart dont break
it move in time
wid drum wid soul
wid roots divine
der still time der still time

used to run from the pain
now i carry it proud
turn the empty into stone
now i look to da clouds

used to curse the rain
now i bless the flood
jah cleanse mi pain
rewrite mi blood rewrite mi blood

truth in di mirror
not what they say
truth in the tremble
when you forgive da self mi change

lost love teach mi
real love reach mi
now i step firm
and mi soul preach free
i believe i believe i believe

jah lift mi up from the sick of grief
put breath in chest give soul belief
mi forgive mi grow mi build mi teach
heart stitched wid threads of peace

no more chains
no more cries
only light when i close mi eyes
jah carry mi through
and mi family too
and mi family too

this for the child in mi
this for the wild in mi
this for the nights i died
when only jah smiled on mi

when jah smiled on mi

this for mi sisters
mi brothers mi bredren
mi daughters mi sons
fi the ones lost in the silence

we toast fi the self
but only we live fi da now
mi build this house on a holy vow
mi wont give up da hope mi wont give up da hope

love nah gone it just change
love not silenced
love is strong love is gained

so mi sing fi the ones now gone
mi cry mi heal mi carry on
every lash mi felt made mi strong
mi forgive mi rise but know mi struggle
mi know mi return too but nah wit out you
it wont be long soon again
you be in mi arms
in mi arms

this for the child in mi
this for the wild in mi
this for the nights i died
when only jah smiled on mi

when jah smiled on mi

now let jah smile on thee now let jah smile on thee

Set Mi Free

In this live episode of Poducer, recorded at Summer’s End Smokeout, we sit down with Joe Nice — a pioneering figure often credited with bringing Dubstep to the United States. From launching the legendary Dub War parties in New York to shaping the global spread of the genre, Joe has been at the heart of underground culture for nearly two decades.

We dive into his journey as a tastemaker, his thoughts on the modern expectation for DJs to also be producers, and how he stays grounded through organization, sobriety, and a commitment to mental health. Joe also speaks on the responsibility of artists to use their platform for advocacy, his favorite sound systems around the world, and why unionization could be the future of fair treatment in electronic music.

🔥 Whether you’re a longtime Dubstep head or just discovering the roots of the scene, this conversation is packed with history, honesty, and perspective from one of the culture’s most respected voices.

Summer's End Smokeout 2025: Joe Nice (Live)

A heavyweight remix built for the UK festival & club scene.
Keeping the raw Jamaican vocal stems untouched and front-and-center, this track journeys from ragga jungle roots with Amen breaks, dubwise echoes, and chest-rattling sub-bass into anthemic UK drum & bass with rolling breaks, euphoric rave stabs, and huge festival drops.

Expect switch-ups into acid techno & hardtek passages — distorted 4x4 kicks, squelching 303s, and pounding warehouse pressure — before snapping back into big-room DnB energy.

G LAW - Weed Sale (A-LEX) (DNB BOOTLEG)

The historic Vengeance SoundClash features legendary King Addies’ generation now team led by young legend King Pin, versus legendary veteran FireLinks. Billed as an exciting revenge clash, this redemption saga stems from an epic 1990s rivalry during Babyface and Matterhorn’s game changing era on King Addies, while FireLinks was at the helm of Clarendon’s legendary Bodyguard Sound—their last 1 versus 1 clash deteriorated into an inter-team brawl between Babyface and Matterhorn, with Matterhorn subsequently leaving King Addies to go solo.  King Addies and FireLinks first 1 versus 1 clash since that fateful night, press play to hear VENGEANCE CLASH - NUH MERCY!  Full PPV still available for viewing at https://stream.rddm.media/vengeance-clah-nuh-mercy

Vengeance Clash NUH MERCY! FireLinks VS King Addies (Queens, 8/15/25)

A-LEX drags this trap anthem into the rave: neurofunk bass pressure, distorted 4×4 hardtek drive, and squelching 303 acid lines under the original Jamaican vocals. Built for warehouse systems, this one slams between techno pulse and DnB aggression with big, festival-ready drops.

BAKERSTEEZ X QUADA - ROMANCIN THE TRAP (A-LEX Remix)

Channeling the 876 island code, A-LEX transforms Friday Night Cru’s Caribbean flavour into a rolling drum & bass weapon. Expect rumbling subs, rave stabs, and dubwise textures cut with precision breaks. A tune made for UK warehouse floors, sound systems, and festival main stages.

Inside Noise

I've been brewing on a mixtape series idea for a while now. No hard rules or strict genres other than the stuff that really inspires me and is in my opinion at the forefront of cutting edge dance music. You'll likely hear some old finds, some new, some absolutely weird 'obnoxious' stuff, ID's from friends and most notably, 'deep, dark and textured bass'.  

To kickstart it all, this was my 'Breakbeat' themed set from Gladstones a couple weeks back. This mix features some underground records I wouldn't normally play to a crowd but still had a lot of fun with it. Special thanks to Rhythmic Sounds for the opportunity. I know It's not strict 'breakbeats' but I tried having fun with it's adjacent vibes. 

Shades of Bass - Vol 1.

In this collaboration episode of Poducer with NSW, we sit down with UK producer HIJINX (formerly known as Mr. K) — an artist who’s evolved from heavyweight dubstep roots into a boundary-pushing sound that blends groove, texture, and raw energy.

From his beginnings in Essex and early raves at Brixton Academy to releasing on respected labels like 1985 Music, White Peach, and his own imprint Fortune, HIJINX opens up about the creative reinvention that’s carried him through two distinct eras of his career.

We dive into his transition from Mr. K to HIJINX, his shifting production style, and why he’s more interested in originality and groove than chasing trends. Along the way, he reflects on collaboration, the challenges of staying inspired in dubstep, and the crossover influences of metal, skate culture, and techno in his music.

HIJINX also shares candid thoughts on the music industry — from the realities of releasing on major labels to the freedom of running his own platform, and what true success looks like outside of metrics.

Cindered Heart is insurgent music. Industrial, bass-heavy hip-hop and Dubstep fused with metal’s bite and activist poetry’s venom. Every song is a call-to-arms against complacency. A soundtrack for people who feel the rot and want to burn it out.

 I know crazy right ?


Emerging from a decade in shadow, Cindered Heart returns not as a solo act, but as a rising coven of creators, collaborators, and conspirators. Together, they give blood to a new genre: VampTrap : a brutal collision of trap, metal, dubstep, and darkwave. With some other projects such as Folk and reggae. This is not music made for market trends. It’s a cinematic audio doctrine, where no church is sacred, no system safe, and no silence untainted by pulse.

At the center stands a one-man legion: Introducing Lesstatt ! Handling songwriting, vocals, production, sound design, visual direction, and final mastering. Using AI elements, Hard Synths, Drum machines, Electric Guitars, Dj Equipment, Samplers, ect. Each track is summoned in a single uninterrupted ritual, where melody bleeds into meaning, and distortion becomes declaration. But this vision is no longer alone. The world of Cindered Heart now expands through a handpicked circle of featured vocalists, visual architects, sound sculptors, and trusted allies. Each amplifying the message without ever muting its power.

With over 60 releases mostly for now on SoundCloud but also  global platforms, and with international coverage including radio play, interviews, and published features in six countries, Cindered Heart is not chasing popularity. They are spreading contagion.

This is not a trend.
This is rebellion carved in waveform, pain, and blood.

These tracks don’t just play, they summon.
Intros unfold like rituals.
Whispers cut like venom.
Breakdowns crumble like temples.
And every lyric doesn’t just rhyme ... They reign.

From Clock Stays Red to Tie That Binds, each release expands a mythos of vampiric power, divine corruption, systemic decay, and emotional survival. Cindered Heart doesn’t ask for attention. It corrupts gods, bends truth into beat patterns, and drapes beauty in barbed wire.

You don’t follow Cindered Heart to feel good.
You follow to remember what pain sounds like when it’s finally free.

deranged bunch of creatives churning out warped beats and feral vibes. Expect the unexpected—sanity optional.

Grew up between JA and the UK, my life has always been shaped by sound system culture and the energy of the dance. I founded and built one of the UK’s biggest—and most talked-about—dance music brands, watching drum & bass evolve from underground roots to the global force it is today. I never set out to release music; producing has always been about expression, experimentation, and carrying the vibe forward. What you’ll hear here is raw, honest, and true to the journey.
