Hold It - Criminal Sound (CLIP)

Our very own @ jpeglove is releasing her debut EP PLEASURE TIMES on 05/05 and we are excited to present you this first Single "C U In My Dreams". We all really loved this track and this EP, which she produced together with our favorite playa @moodrich, because it really showcases jpeg.love's unique style - fusing sweet lyrics with hard beats to bridge the gap between varieties of R&B, Juke and Ghettotech.

So get hyped and follow her @jpeglove on Soundcloud!

SUCIA! - When The Lights Go Out

It was the beginning of the end of times. At least that's what it felt like. The moon, once bright and bold, dripped in a shade of vibrant red, casting its tinged shadow across the world. The night remained still and quiet, bringing with it a prolonged feeling of unease. They must harness the light in order to stay away from the dark. 

For the next instalment on Chuggy's Especial imprint, the sister label of both Emotional Response and Emotional Rescue, he invites Kim Ann Foxman for her debut EP, which is an ode to the power of the moon. The Firehouse label boss, who made her breakthrough as part of Hercules & Love Affair before embarking on a solo journey as both a DJ and an artist, explores acid lines and slipping breaks, which are notched up even more on the remixes from Roza Terenzi, Violet and today's premiere from Tone Dropout's Dawl and Sween.

PREMIERE: Kim Ann Foxman - Blood Moon (Dawl & Sween's Tone Drop Out Remix) [Emotional Especial]

His phone had been ringing off the hook all morning but he'd chosen to brazenly ignore it. On the approach to his house he noticed clothes strewn across the street and a huge pile of cardboard boxes clumsily chucked outside the door. Either side of the road, his neighbours looked on bewildered, a couple trying to hide their laughter at his public humiliation. He looked down at his phone and the 100 missed calls, wondering if it was too late to call back...

South London label PROGRAMM are starting life with a three-track V/A, which gives a taste of what you can expect from their releases to come. With a mission to deliver soundsystem frequencies that will make you dance, the label and party will also act as a platform for emerging producers and DJs pushing UK bass music. PROGRAMM001 calls on the skills of three up-and-coming artists, D3u5E (who's lined up for a future release on the label), label co-founder ZhaR and our pick from South America via London's Falter.

PREMIERE: Falter - Null [PROGRAMM]

If there's one sound running riot through the underground electronic music scene right now, it's a drum break. As someone who's been slotting Amens in tracks since 2017, London producer Breaka isn't just hopping on the trend. The second release on his own label, 'Breaka002', shows off three cuts of exploratory dancefloor sounds, and we're premiering one below. "I started this self-release series to give myself a chance to release some slightly different sounding music," Breaka says. "That continues with Breaka002 - for 'Steeze Flex', I wanted to make a rolling groove out of some favourite samba and Afro-Cuban beats, and then supplemented them with some moody synths and horns." Bringing trumpet and horn textures into stuttering drums and tripped-out vocal snippets, you can listen to 'Steeze Flex' below.

Premiere: Breaka - 'Steeze Flex'

The bustling roads of South London, a famous melting pot for underground bass music over recent decades. Labels have come and gone, producers and DJs have written their names into history as pioneers of numerous genres that have grown to reach all corners of the globe. Whilst popularity of certain scenes and genres have fluctuated and declined, with local clubs falling victim to unforgiving rate hikes and austerity measures, there is always someone willing to carry the torch for fresh, forward-thinking, future-seeking bass music under any circumstances. And the latest to do so is fresh out the box imprint, PROGRAMM. The fledgling label have begun their quest with an invigorating and versatile EP, featuring three of London's hidden talents, plus a bonus collaboration by label runners Nima & Budos which I have the honour of presenting today.
