Despite refusing to stick to a single genre, Deft is one of those immediately recognisable producers, which is nice because it means we don’t have to waste any time comparing him to anyone else. 2013 saw the Croydon man skilfully hopping from headphone to dance styles, often within a track, his signature blend of cinematic soundscapes and crisp, intricate percussion covering hip-hop, house, and ambient. What’s more, his noteworthy contributions to the burgeoning UK footwork scene means the young producer can now count Mark Pritchard, DJ Shadow and Rockwell among his biggest fans, and boy does this boy have fans, check this Bandcamp review of his Project Mooncircle EP Voight Kampff:

Anything this magician puts out has a pretty good chance of getting you pregnant right in the good old music hole.

Says it all really.

Emeralds opens with bubbling synths, building into epic space-station jungle juke with haunting toplines and heart-shaking bass. Cavernous electronic atmospheres introduce A Little Kiss, which interleaves percussion and stuttering bass with the incredible attention to detail we’ve come to know and love.

Octavia is a feisty younger sister to Loqux & Past, the Maya Jane Coles-championed hit from his Space Hardware EP; warm, headnod house joined by a SHOWER bass-line that roundhouse kicks its older sibling in the face for hogging the limelight. Maintaining the hyper vibes, Perky couples spiky footwork beats with slowly-evolving chords creating euphoric rises and falls, leading perfectly to the epic reflection of closing interlude On The Other Side.

All in all, Deft is an artist who continues to develop in awesome and interesting ways, increasingly able to balance striking dance music with immersive ambience. And finding his path with similarly ambitious labels like WotNot, there’s a not-too-distant future where Deft no longer worries that it’s always greener on the other side.

Downcast

Plastician delves back into the territory of dusty, broken rhythms on his latest release for Terrorhythm inside it's 21st year of operations.
 
Trance stutters, drill inspired basslines and drums with so much dirt on them they could be ripped directly off the floor of a second hand vinyl shop. It's new from Stish, but the nostalgia on this one still hits somehow, evoking memories of productions predating the Youtube tutorial era where the loudness war took it's stronghold on the majority of electronic music's output.

Plastician - Eras End

There Is Hope

There Is Hope (Intro Dub Mix)

"Fractured Realms" continues the world opened in "Shatterfield" pushing deeper into the fractured dimension uncovered through the break.
Across four heavy, glitch-driven tracks, the EP explores unstable rhythms, shattered bass structures, and cold cinematic tension — each piece pulling you further into the depths of the rupture.

The journey closes with Tomorrow’s Shell, a downtempo and ambient-inspired outro that shifts the EP into a completely different emotional space. After the distortion collapses, the fragments settle. A new world forms — fragile, quiet, and strangely peaceful.

Blending dubstep, IDM, experimental bass, electronica, and atmospheric sound design, Fracture Realms is a multidimensional sonic descent into chaos, reconstruction, and the moment after everything breaks.
