The first Junkille compilation is a dive into the depths of the Mediterranean coast. Opening with "The Gems", our Gemini friends gave birth to this dreamy song as Bwi-Bwi added his personal touch to Kumanope's deep synth and ambient sounds, resulting in an elegant and meticulous ballade. @kumanope @bwi-bwi

Jeigo aka London based producer Jack Carr Miles, comes through with his debut LP “Cerulean”, which is due for release on the 15th of August 2022 on air miles.

Written between 2020-2021, “Cerulean” is a ten-track album that delves into the isolation of the emotion, blue. The tracks flow between UK genres, combining sliced breaks, emotive melodic synths and deep pulsating low end to audibly display Jeigo’s intricate and melancholic production qualities.

“Over the period this was made, this project was the epicentre for my emotional stability and creative output, allowing me to find some comfort and calm in the tough moments of isolation that 2020/21 brought. Dedicated to my Dad and his best friend Roger” - Jack Carr Miles

Taking influence from the likes of Four Tet’s “Beautiful Rewind” and Everything But The Girl’s “Walking Wounded”, the album was produced in his former family home in South West London during the pandemic and finished in his home for the last two years in Peckham. Each track sits on the border of home listening and club functionality, with essences of crying on the dance floor euphoria, too those blissful or challenging moments alone.

SALT019 Zara - Di Plastica EP

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.

@pressuredome label-head @yushh lands on @wisdomteeth-uk with her long-anticipated debut EP, ‘Look Mum No Hands’ - an assured four-tracker that draws on Bristol bass, footwork, jungle and broken techno to create something fresh and upfront.

On the EP's penultimate track, ‘Close Fall’ squeezes darkside d’n’b sonics into a chugging 95 BPM beat template.

Camo (Yushh Remix)

Jen Hartley aka Yushh @yushh established herself as one of Bristol’s most exciting new faces on the scene. As a local selector, she has turned her attention to the groundswell of talent the city has to offer when it comes to the cross-section of bass music with her new label project, Pressure Dome @pressuredome.

On this inaugural VA release, she proposes us a beautiful selection of artists, tied together by syncopated rhythms and broken beats, where each producer brings their own style, tempo and atmosphere. The release provides a range and depth that reflects Bristol’s musical versatility, from newcomer Syz whose contribution follows highly praised releases on Only Ruins and Brotherhood Sound System, to some of the city’s newest party starters to rise through the ranks.

All five tracks ooze individuality, yet subtly tie together with influences and sounds of a city that naturally nurtures progressive experimentalism. Pressure Dome’s offering is a fine example of burgeoning collective, with like-minded producers set on an uncompromising approach to the broken beat.

We have the pleasure to share with you the track "Always, Always, Nevr On Time" from Yushh, showcasing intricate percussion and delicate melodies that roll with energy over subby baselines.

Welcome To The Pressure Dome

Premiere: Yushh - Always, Always, Never On Time [Pressure Dome]

Yushh - Team Boot (Woozy)

Brighton native via Bristol, Syz is an artist, DJ and co-founder of events conglomerate Method Lab. Having released on labels such as Pressure Dome and Only Ruins, Syz’s musical palette has dissected inspiration from all avenues of UK bass-driven dance music.

Drawing on a diverse range of touchpoints from across the spectrum of UK club music, his latest EP for Control Freak is no different, encompassing precision-engineered soundsystem techno, mutant 2-step and West Country bass.

Wrapping things up, Pressure Dome founder Yushh returns to Control Freak with her own flip of title track Bunzunkunzun, bringing down the BPM for a menacing rework that’s punctuated by her signature wonky rhythms.

Very strictly limited vinyl release for these essential DJ weapons - get them while they’re hot!
