Her days began cold, the anxiety grew more and more as the minutes went by. With every movement a rush of fear-inducing thoughts hit her, as if hiding was her only choice. She counted down the seconds in her head, waiting for the moment that she'd set foot out of her anxious state of mind and into that smoke-filled room. It was there amongst the beams of light and the rolling sub frequencies that she left her head and moved into her body. Freedom flowed as she entered the darkness: the night was here and it was hers.

Known for his groundbreaking live performances and DJ sets of broken beat techno, trance, mystical electronica and muted bass, Dawn Razor translates this heady cocktail of sounds to his own productions. With previous releases on A R T S, Scuffed and Holding Hands, to name but a few, Dawn Razor now makes his way to London's Of Paradise for his forthcoming EP, Scary Movies, which comes with a twisted remix from Pressure Dome boss Yushh: packed full of attitude, it's a masterclass in jagged techno and twisted breaks.

A Walking Contradiction welcomes Sciama to the fold and adds another full EP of oscillating rhythm workouts to the catalogue. AWC009 densely packs fast moving, ultra focused soundtrips. From breathtaking drone scapes to wiggly high-paced rhythm experiments, all sublimely sound designed with a focus on the low ends.

Sciama's soundscapes are accompanied by an essay of writer and researcher Asia Bazdyrieva. Pixels densely packed*** expands on the contemporary media surrounds that wrap and entrap us. A constant stream of images and sounds of atrocities and genocidal violence transforms into an anaesthetising haze, ever present and indispensable, yet easily ignored.

Berlin-based record label Immaterial Earth prepare to unveil their third offering, the evocative 'In The Vastness You Left Behind' from label head Prieste5s...Our pick, 'Ecstatic Disintegration', is an exhilarating foray into trance-driven chaos, where spiralling synths and intricately crafted breakbeats collide in a dance of controlled anarchy. The track builds up relentlessly, immersing the audience into a storm of digital echoes, throbbing bass and an unsettling ambiance that evokes the narrative of a cyberpunk ecstasy. With the addition of warped vocals, Prieste5s crafts a vision of a dystopian future, charged with tension and transcendent energy.

BREAKSCAPE

Finally remembered my password... by which I mean actually turned my synths on. 

Definitely very rusty on the workflow but got something happening.

What In The Loogabarooga

Our first release, out November 2009.
You can immediately hear the 2 step garage influence in the drum lines. Asusu perfectly couples those skipping beats with bass and melody in these two tracks to produce tunes with incredible pace and drive. More than just re-creating garage though Asusu fuses elements of it with a feel of dubstep bass wieght and techno melodic elements. Deep and meditative but still very much tracks for the dancefloor.

Pessimist - Burundanga EP

Vinyl Tracklist:

A1. Burundanga
A2. Lithosphere

AA1. Paian (Simon Shreeve Remix)
AA2. Thug


It's been three years since founding UVB-76 member, Pessimist put out a Drum & Bass release. The last time you could find a 170 track by Jabs was back in 2017 for his critically acclaimed self-titled debut album released on Blackest Ever Black. So we present in 2019, the Burundanga EP for UVB-76, which has been destroying dance floors across the planet.

The Burundanga EP consists of three Drum & Bass cuts. Think Ruffhouse meets tribal shamanism, gutter breaks with amazonian field recordings and thick atmosphere, you'll feel like you've been spiked by some ritualistic witch doctor. Also included within the four track EP is the long awaited Paian remix by Downwards Records and CUB affiliate, Simon Shreeve aka Mønic & Kryptic Minds, taken from Jabs's debut EP for The Buzzer. Trust us when we say this is not for the faint hearted, we're truly excited to have Pessimist back on the label with these four vintage, signature Pess, killer cuts.
