Spanish producer Hor-G joins the label with “El Guerrero”, a showcase of his skill in the realm of broken rhythms and sonic experimentation.

After releasing several works rooted in a more techno-oriented line, Hor-G now delves into his less orthodox ideas, displaying a sharp talent for hybridizing styles. Electro, halftime, and acid influences merge to create a piece rich in texture, distortion, and energy, moving fluidly between 145 and 185 bpm.

As the artist himself puts it: “El Guerrero” is far more than a demo — it’s a statement of intent from the ever-restless HOR-G.

Bristolian artist Minosaur meets us with a fusion of his epic with LeTo’s solid sound. They created a breaky tune with high energy leads instead of MCs. This collaboration ignites this first VA to a take on grimy, free form beats, influenced by the beginnings of dubstep. Still with rhythms that break the rules, Nasty J carries on with an oblique 140 dance that makes the thinking stop and the belly vibrate. Finally, LeTo closes up the EP with a techy halfstep track intended to take the city’s scene sound to a more playful yet rough place.

В апреле 2021-го Leo Cap встряхнул дабстеп-сцену синглом «Anapskiy Skank». Трек качал радиоэфиры, фестивали и танцполы по всему миру. Пожалуй, оригинальный хулиганский стиль Leo Cap начал стремительно пробивать своё место в авангарде жанра именно с него.  

Прошли годы, и родилась идея дать «Анапскому сканку»  (̶в̶ ̶п̶е̶ч̶е̶н̶ь̶)̶ новую жизнь в форме ресканков (ремиксов). Заручившись благословением автора, мы передали проект с оригиналом продюсерам из ближнего круга. Свои ресканки сделали такие саундсистемные авторитеты, как Oddkut, Neekeetone, Goobaltah, Atom Dubs и Skotcha.

Лорд тьмы Oddkut пересобрал оригинальный грув в зубодробительный beats на 85 bpm, которому позавидовали бы Ivy Lab.

Джангл-виртуоз Neekeetone также исследует исходный грув сквозь beats-оптику, развивая танцпольный вектор с помощью джукового флоу на 160 bpm.

Рейв-специалисты Goobaltah заварили серьёзный кислотный брейкс на 140 bpm с рычащим индустриальным грувом.

Ресканк от Atom Dubs звучит сокрушительно, как приговор, который хладнокровно приводится в исполнение в самой тёмной части дабстеп-подземелья.

Финальный ресканк от Skotcha на фирменных «блатных» 130 bpm ближе всех к оригинальному груву и мета-ироничен по отношению к Leo Cap за счёт ответной записи разговора музыкантов.

В итоге каждый участник эффектно перенёс «Анапский сканк» в новые грани хардкор-континуума.

В течение последних пары лет все версии прошли основательную дабплейт-обкатку на наших танцах, и теперь настало время отдать их в мир.

Анапский Ресканк — это не только свидетельство высокого уровня продакшна русскоязычной бас-сцены, но и умение её представителей с лёгкостью приносить на серьёзный bassface улыбки от фана и куража. А ещё это про коннект и дружбу: все действующие лица делают (ре)сканк на расстоянии вытянутой руки, даже находясь за тысячи километров. Надеемся, вы почувствуете этот вайб и сделаете сканк вместе с нами!

Релиз уже доступен эксклюзивно на Bandcamp, а в стримингах появится 12.12.20205.

In April 2021, Leo Cap shook up the dubstep scene with the single "Anapskiy Skank." The track rocked radio stations, festivals, and dance floors around the world. Arguably, it was with this single that Leo Cap's original, badboy style began to rapidly carve its place at the forefront of the genre. It's worth noting that by that time, the artist's original alias, Black Barrel, had already gained recognition in the drum & bass scene.

Years passed, and the idea was born to give "Anapskiy Skank" new life in the form of reskanks (remixes). With the author's blessing, we passed the project to producers from inner circle. Soundsystem heavyweights like Oddkut, Neekeetone, Goobaltah, Atom Dubs, and Skotcha created their own versions.

Lord of Darkness aka Oddkut reassembled the original groove into a bone-shattering 85 bpm beats.

Jungle virtuoso Neekeetone also explores the original groove through a beats lens, developing a dancefloor-friendly direction with a juke-inspired 160 bpm flow.

Rave specialists Goobaltah have created a serious acid break at 140 bpm with a growling industrial groove.

Atom Dubs' reskank sounds crushing, like a punishment coldly executed in the darkest part of a dubstep dungeon.

Skotcha's final reskank, at the signature 130 bpm, is closest to the original groove and is meta-ironic towards Leo Cap thanks to a response recording of the musicians' conversation.

Anapskiy Reskank is not only a testament to the high level of production in the Russian-speaking bass scene, but also to its members' ability to bring smiles of fun and excitement to even the most serious bassface. It's also about connection and friendship: everyone involved (re)skanks at arm's length, even from thousands of miles away. Hope you'll feel this vibe and skank with us!

The release is now available exclusively on our Bandcamp and will be available on streming platforms on December 12th.

Pre-Order: https://microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/oak-no-sunrise

Oak's 'No Sunrise' assembles nine rediscovered tracks from Oak’s early Microfunk era — works that slipped between releases, vanished with old labels or lived on only in rumours. Most of the material traces back to around 2009, when Oak’s detailed, cinematic approach to drum and bass and forward-thinking electronic music quietly shaped the movement’s foundations. The clarity of his craft still stands out: fine-grained percussion, rich harmonic work and that unmistakable sense of space he carved into everything.

The collection folds in some of Oak’s most whispered-about works: Boxcutter’s rare remix, the alternate Firebird version and the long-mystified title track No Sunrise, known until now only from Commix’s Fabriclive mix. Alongside them sits Untold, written years later, darker than the rest, driven by thick low-end pressure and a murky halfstep groove wrapped in deep, dub-soaked atmosphere.

Paired with Ricky Trickartt’s sketch-led artwork in the spirit of the Lost Dubs series, the collection arrives as extra-limited 10-inch lathe cuts and high-grade RTM cassettes. A long-hidden chapter of Oak’s work finally made visible.
