Dirtbox Recordings is proud to unveil the latest instalment in our From Russia With Love series, a project dedicated to spotlighting some of the most exciting and innovative producers emerging from Russia’s ever-evolving electronic music scene. 

This time, we welcome Moscow-born drum and bass prodigy @FadeDuster to the family.

Born Timofey, though his friends know him as Tim. Fade Duster’s love affair with music began early. At just 12 years old, he found inspiration in the electrifying sounds of Scooter and The Prodigy, a spark that soon led him to explore the darker, deeper tones of dubstep. 

A turning point came when he discovered his brother’s music collection and decided to tune into a podcast hosted by Russian drum and bass legend Bes. That moment ignited a passion for drum and bass that has only intensified since. Over the years, Fade Duster has carved a reputation for himself as one of Russia’s most forward-thinking producers, with a catalogue that includes standout releases on respected imprints like Neuropunk and Paperfunk. 

His style is marked by intricate sound design, raw energy, and a deep understanding of the genre’s roots and future directions.

After keeping a close ear on Fade Duster’s output over the past year, we knew we had to bring him into the Dirtbox family. His music doesn’t just hit hard, it tells stories, pushes boundaries, and reflects the depth of talent that continues to emerge from Russia’s underground.

This release is more than just music; it’s a celebration of Fade Duster’s journey and a glimpse into the next wave of global drum and bass. 

From Russia With Love EP 3 drops August 8th

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.

DRUM & BASS - Russell 01

Had the absolute pleasure and honour of opening up Stage 3 on August 9th 2025 at the legendary Electric Island and making my debut to the festival. The sun was blazing, the air was thick and humid and the conditions were dusty. Despite all these trying conditions Toronto pulled up early and represented on the dance floor! Here's the set I spun at EI this year!

I had the best time playing for you guys and almost 100 bass heads showed up early and showed Toronto that DNB and heavy bass belong at festivals like EI. I also spun a cheeky and sneaky UKG and 140 in this set, something I haven't done before and it popped off!

Mad love to Embrace for booking me and to everyone who showed up super early to rinse out and support me on my debut!

Free Download as always, lemme know you think?

@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.

Propaganda & Osymetry lands on VTO Records August 29th

This marks the third and final promo drop for the last four tracks in the 2025 edition of the Dirtbox Recordings Tape Pack project.

Over the course of the year, Argentinian producer Noise Souls has delivered a diverse and electrifying array of tech-influenced drum and bass, contributing 12 powerful tracks that have shaken speakers across the globe.

We’re now entering the final stretch of the project, with four final tracks that promise to close out the series in true Dirtbox style.

The Sequence series continues the legacy started in 2024 with Procedure by The Fi5th, and Iteration by Shayper, two blistering runs of cutting-edge drum and bass that set the tone for what this project would become.

A new single from the featured artist drops on the 1st of each month, leading up to the full album
release in January 2026.

We’re incredibly proud of what this project has become, and we can’t wait to show you what’s
coming next.

VTO Records Podcast 26- Featuring Double Medley (Hosted by Lee UHF)

@dunkdnb @Rebel_DNB

Dirtbox Recordings proudly welcomes the powerhouse duo of Dunk and Rebel.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll already be familiar with rising Brazilian star Dunk.

A producer who has been dominating the corner of Drum and bass focused on deep, rolling and
heads down minimalist sound, with floor-destroying tracks that have resonated with crowds worldwide.

Dunk’s music has graced an impressive roster of labels including Formation Records, Vandal,
Spearhead, Souped Up, Critical V Recordings, Playaz, and many more.

It’s a true pleasure to finally have him making his Dirtbox debut.

Joining him is Rebel. Whilst not new to drum & bass, Rob (aka Rebel) has been tearing up dance
floors as a DJ, and as a raver since the mid-90s.

More recently, he’s been flexing his production skills, collaborating with talents like Tactic and Dunk to deliver absolute weapons for the scene.

Now, the two unite on Dirtbox Recordings for Decoding The Cypher, delivering three heavyweight
DNB tracks that showcase the duo’s raw energy, technical mastery, and unmistakable vibe.

Spotlighting international Drum and Bass talent and the diverse sonic flavours they bring from their corners of the globe, this will not be the last we see and hear of the duo together.

1/ Dunk & Rebel- “Cypher”

The release opens with an absolute dancefloor weapon.

Dunk and Rebel deliver a cleverly engineered club rocker, and Cypher wastes no time getting under your skin with funky, rolling percussion and a nostalgic blast of classic ’90s synths, bass, and hoovers.

The groove is relentless, pure funk-driven energy that keeps the head-nodding crew locked in and moving straight through until sunrise.

2/ Dunk & Rebel- “The Deadlights”

Hold tight, crew, `The Deadlights` is something special. 

The duo bring serious classic vibes here, opening with wobbling FX and bass layers as thick and
heavy as a woolly mammoth’s coat.

The energy ramps up with a quicker pace, pulling the dancefloor’s eyes to the booth before
slamming into heavyweight basslines and rapid-fire percussion.

It’s a track built to drag everyone straight to the front.

3/ Dunk- “Karma”

"Karma!" kicks off exactly how you’d expect from a solo Dunk track, with precision, grit, and style. The percussion is pure junglist fire, intricate and razor-sharp, riding over a deep, minimal bassline locked into that unmistakable Dunk groove. Massive, mammoth-like bass roars erupt every few bars, growling through the speakers and demanding attention.

It’s a bold, chest-rattling opener that caps the release off in truly breathtaking fashion.
The Cypher gets Decoded, September 5th.
