Since his last outing on Control Freak with the sold-out Bunzunkunzun EP, Syz has built a reputation as one of the UKs most distinctive club producers, weaving playful, percussive techno with soundsystem-driven bass music. Releases via Shanti Celeste’s Peach Discs and more recently on Banoffee Pies have cemented his position as a rising star of the UK scene.

Much of this acclaim started with 2020’s Mindforms - a self-released mini-LP which saw the young producer step away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one’.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms, housed in full-colour centre-cut sleeves featuring an adaptation of the original artwork by Jamie Fallon (Ghost Cell), reworked by London-based designer Blixa Aguerreberry.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. Daisy Moon takes a decidedly Bristolian approach, delivering a scorching hot, bass-driven club stomper.

Year 2000 Problem has come through with four varied cuts for Lost City Archives. RNB inspired Jungle with a piece of heavyweight 140 breaks on the b2 to finish off the EP in a Lost City bonus beat style & fashion.

Dear friends & supporters,
We are deeply saddened by the escalation of events happening in the Palestinian Territories these days, and we want to express our support and solidarity to all those affected, directly or indirectly.

In particular, our thoughts are with the Palestinian people who are facing a true genocide in the face of the indifference of most Western nations. Samsara Beats has always stood with the oppressed, and this time is no exception as we express our views based on principles of freedom and respect. It's frustrating to admit that we can do very little, but we don't want to underestimate the power of communication and the solidarity that the Bass Music Community has shown in difficult situations.

Today, we are releasing a track titled "Turbulence" and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) to support the cause.

We provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system"

Had Enough / Lazy (DF001)

SPLOT kicks off 2024 with the second VA compilation, defining the contours of the label between local-gems discoveries as well as emblematic international producers in the bass field.

Seekers VA starts off mystically. Our own SPLOT ambassador dadan karambolo shows his identity within the 140 BPM realm and modern areas of the UK bass sound in the pulsating track ‘roll of thunder’. One-half of a Warsaw duo Private Press, Blu Terra takes you straight into moody sci-fi territory with ‘Zero Reasons’, a hybrid blend of electrifying bass and electro music territories. Don’t be fooled by opening on a high, this belter of a tune keeps rising and rising. Then comes Xen Chron with his energetic bass floater. ‘Ice Flight’ glistens and shines while pounding heavily with bass and jumpy rhythm.

The title track, courtesy of Low End Activist, is his take on retrofuturistic grime and 90s-like IDM mutations. Sliding bass and cold samples conduct this tune through a wide range of auras. All bound together by bouncy drums. Warsaw’s live act and producer Lotus Reaction provided ‘Nolly’ – a dexterously arranged synth jam, something he’s very much known for on the local club scene. Beautiful ambient outro completes this unique hybrid. Next up, Dawn Razor goes deeper into a clubnight madness with his techno-infused bass tune. ‘Dextrose’ starts with tangled syncopated rhythms and unfolds into a dancefloor tool of the highest order.

Hailing from Wrocław, Donija slows things down. ‘Twitchy Noise’ lets the bass and drums present themselves in full colour, by leaving much space between hits and at the same time – leaving nothing to be desired. Entire brings the subtle tribal workout in ‘Our Falsehood’. His trademark organic sound takes over, serving as an atmospheric background to swift drum and bass. A masterful closing is brought to you by Berlin-based Katiusha, who cooked up a difficult to label but extremely captivating track ‘Creeper Deluxe’. Her forward-thinking, psychedelic take on SPLOT sound serves as a perfect conclusion of the VA.

1. dadan karambolo – roll of thunder

4. Low End Activist – Seekers

A familiar favourite, Deft, steps up with his second EP on Hooversound, featuring a VIP remix of one of his original songs taken from his 2020 ‘Burna’ EP.

Defts ‘Burna’ EP back in 2020 set the tone perfectly for Hooversound, it being the second release on the imprint following Hyroglific and Sinistarr’s almighty ‘BS6’. Deft’s hybrid artistic style of production sat perfectly within the launch of Hooversound as he went on to rise steadily within the underground electronic scene. Fast forward four years, Deft returns to Hooversound with an equally impressive follow up, entitled ‘Two Years’.

Yip Wong aka Deft has been producing music for nearly a decade. Within that time he has crafted a signature style using elements of dance, cinematic sound design, hip hop, jungle, footwork and 140. This enigmatic style of production has led him to release on 20/20 LDN, Exit, 1985 Music, Critical Music and more. His release schedule alongside his ever evolving sound has gained the attention of not only London and UK listeners, but fans worldwide.

Defts new ‘Two Years’ EP on Hooversound once again sees the talented producer drawing elements from 140, footwork and jungle, all laced with his ability to create immersive atmospheres and intricate percussion. It’s been teased across SHERELLE and NAINAs DJ sets for months, with it finally dropping to the masses this summer on Hooversound.
