With a penchant for head-nod sensibilities and palatable grooves, the Colorado-based producer Kuhlin has gradually developed his sound and style in a particular flavorful lane. Taking inspiration from golden-era hip-hop and contemporary production and synthesis, he's a beatsmith with a pronounced songwriting attitude that sinks its teeth with ease. Ahead of the release of his Downhill EP, The Rust is excited to premiere the titular track, "Break Machine Broken".

With a tight grouping of pulsing melodies, shuffled percussion, and a pocketed acid bass line, "Beat Machine Broken" carries itself across a swung arrangement, with subtle sound design and glitch flairs spotting the track's runtime. Coupled with shoulder-swaying low end and infectious inflections of delay, there's an immediate draw to such a smooth instrumental interplay packaged with just the right ingredients. If you're digging what Kuhlin's got to offer through "Beat Machine Broken", be sure to keep your ears peeled and tune in to the full Downhill EP release when it breaks daylight,

Kuhlin - Break Machine Broken [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, the upstart producer Langwidj has been coming correct with a smattering of glitch-hop and splayed-out bass music for the last few years. Continuing their dovetailed combination of happy accidents, artifacts, and sculpted synthesis, the latest plate of Langwidj tracks balance weight and impact with abundant compositional risk. As a result, The Rust is incredibly excited to host the release of their latest EP; Escape Plan.

Fusing an abundance of textures with off-kilter arrangements, Escape Plan spans a tight grouping of styles, touching on half-time, neuro, and timeless downtempo motifs. Each of the three tracks is an entirely self-contained experience, giving listeners an expansive, topical taste of each particular lane. Juggling effusive melodies, blistering low-end, and rambunctious rhythms that stretch from an earnest swing to a vicious breakdown, Escape Plan is a precision EP designed for discerning listeners, and is surely just a taste of future Langwidj developments.

ZeroA - Goblins (ZeroA Collisions Mix) [Crossfade Sounds]

Afterglow is a deep, melodic journey that blends cinematic sound design with emotive progressive energy. Built around warm synth layers, subtle percussion, and an evolving melodic core, the track captures that reflective moment between light and darkness - when the night fades but the feeling remains.

Released as part of my ongoing exploration of mood and atmosphere, Afterglow sits between chillout introspection and dancefloor drive - designed for sunsets, slow evenings, and late-night thoughts.  Supported by BBC Music Introducing.
