James Young ft. Kabo Cana - Nagasaki EP (QRUK016)
BUY LINK: https://qruk.bandcamp.com/album/qruk016-nagasaki-ep
Label: QRUK (https://soundcloud.com/qruk)

> Kabo Cana (https://soundcloud.com/kabo_cana)

James Young steps up for his first release on QRUK with the Nagasaki EP, a dark and driving UKG cut that leans into the moodier edges of Garage and Speedy G. The North Wales-based producer has already made waves with House releases on labels like Smashin Trax and Pogo House, but this new EP sees him pushing into heavier, more dancefloor-focused territory. Nagasaki is packed with chopped-up drums, eerie textures and a tough low-end that hits hard.

On remix duties is Kabo Cana, returning to the label after making a big impression with his debut I DON'T UNDERSTAND. His take on Nagasaki flips the original into a more club-ready, 90s inspired roller full of sub pressure and tight percussion. It's another strong showing from the Manchester-based producer who's quickly becoming an exciting name in the new wave of UKG.

Inner Zone - Fallout EP (SL015)

A1	Folded Realm
A2	Folded Realm (Kohra Remix) 			
B1	Spiral Form 			
B2	Fallout 				

Inner Zone returns to space•lab with an immersive EP exploring the meeting point of deep techno and progressive minimalism, shadowy rhythms and spatial resonance. 

Folded Realm opens the release with a hypnotic pulse, drawing from the darker edges of the Inner Zone sound with precision and restraint. Goa’s Kohra steps in on remix duties, transforming the original into a tunnelling techno weapon — dense, focused, and primed for the floor.

Spiral Form is a slow-burn evolution, unfolding in layers of submerged textures and flickering synth work. Closing the EP, Fallout breaks formation with a menacing, breakbeat-driven excursion through scorched sonic terrain. 

Written: Inner Zone
Remix: Kohra

Mastering: Marco Pelligrino

Polytope first Polytope EP welcomes two wonder kids from the European bass music scene: the Brussels-based fa:act and Meli Mena from Paris. They have worked hard to deliver you a 6-track, club-ready opus, with a special collaboration and a remix by Maoupa Mazzochetti.

 "COUGH TWICE IF YOU CARE" explores the depths of the hardcore continuum with a special twist from these two talented artists: 

fa:act created two dancehall-inspired bangers with his iconic touch: "Wizard Bubble" and "Breeze and Riddim". 

 Meli Mena has produced two high-energy club gems with break influences and IDM resonances: "Hot Girls Get Sad" and "SideQuest Nap." 

 They both released the already famous 140 bpm club anthem "Dust Drip," which has destroyed many dancefloors all over the world. 

All these tracks got the Maoupa Mazzocchetti special analog treatment; he also gifted us with a strong remix of "SideQuest Nap" from our dear Meli Mena.

Order now.

Votives - Possessor [ITI26S1]

UGLY DJs ONLY Vol. ONE: file under alternative dance music — a snarling snapshot of the unconventionally attractive side of underground dance music. Curated for the late-blooming, ugly duckling disco dollies, this seven-track collection veers through busted club experiments, mutant techno, and haunted house heaters.

Each artist pushes dance music into strange, unconventional terrain — unafraid to embrace the peculiar, the abrasive, and sometimes even the ugly. 

Etbonz, a familiar name to Bed of Roses followers, with previous releases on Love on the Rocks and Bahnsteig 23.

PREMIERE⚡Etbonz - Open Your Mind [Bed of Roses]

For Mix 23 we welcome the talented Ebende, a DJ and producer from Sweden. His unique sound fuses bass-driven beats with immersive, hazy atmospheres and soundscapes. Raised in a musical family, his early exposure to a wide range of sounds shaped his intuitive understanding of melody, rhythm, and texture. His passion for making music quickly developed, and he found his voice in blending the familiar with the abstract. He has released on Aniara Recordings, All My Thoughts, ARKAJO & DSSPR to name a few as well as several self-released records that reflect his restless creativity.Ever since his fresh release on Aniara Records and witnessing his incredible late afternoon set at Above Below festival in 2024 I had to have him join the Cozi community! His style is effortlessly groovy which is so surprise in this mix where he creates a flow and energy like no other.... 

Cozi Questions......

1. How and why did you get into producing / dj’ing?
Initially I’d say my dad got me into producing since he introduced me to logic & garage band when I was 5-6 years old so I’ve been playing around with it for a very long time. I’ve been into electronic music for a long time too but what really got me into weirder, more underground dance music was going to raves and open airs around Gothenburg as a teenager which inspired me to start producing that type of music. It then felt natural to start DJing aswell.

2. Who, What/where was your most coziest gig you've been to or experienced and why?
Definitely my first ever gig at Øen in Copenhagen in 2017. It’s a super small & cozy venue. The people & vibe was something else, I had such a great time playing there.
 
3. Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert in the scene?
Definitely an introvert haha. Although I love connecting with people through music I find it very draining to be social, so networking is a huge challenge for me. I prefer to stay at home and just make music in solitude which is what I do most of the time. I really have to make an effort to not isolate too much.


4. If you had to choose 1 track to vibe out too forever, what would it be?
Boards of Canada - Seven Forty Seven.

5. What is your routine when preparing for a gig / production/writing session? Do you have any special remedies/ mental/physical prep/ places to go to? :)
I’m always trying to find new stuff to play, then I just play around in rekordbox for a bit to see what works and what I can do with what I have but I never plan out exactly what I’m gonna play. When it comes to production I just try to play around with some sounds every day. When I’m stuck working on a track & need inspiration I go for long walks around Gothenburg, I get a lot of inspiration from the atmosphere & nature here.

CoziMix 23 : Ebende

Новый гость нашей рубрики о молодых артистах — диджей @houdant, переехавший в Москву из Красноярска. Свой путь он начал, когда купил пару виниловых проигрывателей Technics 1200 у закрывавшегося в родном городе клуба: так Миша стал собирать винил и учиться сведению.

За плечами диджея — выступления на фестивалях в Томске и других городах Сибири, диджей-сет на дне заброшенного бассейна, а еще релизы на лейблах «Мособлэлектро», Resonance Moscow и Ovelha Trax. Микс для нашего сообщества Миша наполнил гипнотичным техно, веселыми притрансованными ритмами и хаусом.

YOUNGBLOOD#2 07: Misha Evtushenko

Between the here and the hereafter, the world burns as strings are pulled from unseen hands, every gesture authored elsewhere, every shadow mistaken for the thing itself, and what feels like freedom is only a script, already rehearsed.

Featuring tracks by I Made Yogi Antara (Sattle Remix), Safuan Johari, Bint Mbareh, Ottomani Parker, Normil Hawaiians and more!
