Roughed Up

A label born out of both Berlin and Bergamo in Italy, Delta9Recordings has been able to tap into a host of influences since they first began releasing music. Focusing primarily on the dark, minimalistic and techstep sounds, they’ve acquired a vast back catalogue to help platform these tastes. And Delta9Recordings have ensured that the artists they’ve helped to bring through, from across Europe, also encapsulate the same stylistic features. This can be seen throughout their forthcoming ‘No Data’ EP from drum & bass producer Kutlo, which adds a welcome addition to their back catalogue and further presents the label as having the ability to pick out the very best newcomers slowly making their way to the genre’s forefront.

‘No Data’ begins the EP, creating a dancefloor twist amongst its flipping samples and stepped up sonics. The track begins as it means to go on, with an urgency which ramps up and creates an appeal which translates directly into the clubs. ‘Pale Mist’ comes next and this record takes a mystic standard to a much soft level, as when the bass drops it snares you and pulls you down deep into its grasps. The layers of percussion which introduce the record don’t allude to how low you’re about to go as soon as the bassline dives to a subterranean depth, as the track’s skeleton rattles with its pure power. ‘Reversed Reserve’ is more minimal in its approach, although as it breaks down the sense of urgency can’t be masked. Each bass stab and instrumental bleat builds on the next, before you’re once again taken in by Kutlo’s uncompromising production standard.

‘Bad Moon’ brings ‘No Data EP’ to a close, offering up a slightly heavy tune, with masters NC-17 and Des McMahon, of the style which Kutlo has showcased on the subsequent three records.

Kutlo’s formulaic music writing takes no prisoners and this is clear to see from one track to the next... That’s why he makes such a pivotal signing for Delta9Recordings and their groundbreaking roster.

Having already released on Ram Records under his Fascad alias, through their Ram Rave series, their last annual compilation and through the sister-label Program as part of its seminal 100th release, he returns alongside Ignescent label owner Deen Pride but under a different pseudonym. ‘Focusfire’ was one of Fascad’s tracks which saw the producer gain international recognition and it's also the duo’s new artist title, which their brand new EP forthcoming on Program will fall under, whilst they maintain the dancefloor infected talent which caught the imprint’s attention.

The frenzied drum work throughout ‘New Order’ sets the levels for the EP whilst growling patches of bass maintains the momentum for ‘Cracked Up'. Sculpted grooves punctuate the mix of ‘Nonverbal’, meanwhile ‘Catacombs’ and ‘W.I.S.Y’ continue with the EP’s hectic intensity. With Focusfire now taking the wheel, it’s once again time to get with the Program - this time concentrating on its nastier sounds.

Despite hailing from opposite sides of the world
and each having defined careers as solo artists,
South Korea’s Xeomi and Germany’s Kaiza have a
remarkably likeminded approach to producing
drum and bass. Initially known to fans for their
respective contributions to Wobble Warriors and
T3K Recordings, the scrupulous pair have recently cemented a reputation as a formidable duo, concocting a
versatile shared discography spanning brutal neurofunk, intricate techstep and even chugging halftime
creations. Since first joining forces in 2018, the pair quickly noticed their synergy and have formed a de facto
production duo, releasing prolifically on Bad Taste, Red Light, Kosenprod and Citrus Recordings among other
labels. Their next offering, the four-track Cypher EP, marks their second outing via ProtoCode following
2019’s Mito EP, and serves as their ninth collaborative project to date.
First up on the project, the club mix of “Xero” calls upon the vocal talents of decorated New Zealand lyricist
Camo MC, who lays down rave-ready lyrics about his junglist credentials atop a bed of crunchy, distorted
basslines and unorthodox snares. Taking the gas mark up a notch on the hectic and intense “Godlike”, the
duo team up with relative newcomer and Jersey, UK native Xylym to create a brutal neurofunk stepper
dominated by juddering, oscillating basslines and ricocheting breaks.
“Talk To Me” taps the production capabilities of Italian DJ Crimson, whose vast and impressive back
catalogue includes releases on Shogun Audio, Bad Taste and Guidance Music as well as Kaiza’s T3K
Recordings. The result of this intriguing three-way collaboration is a dancefloor-friendly roller, deftly fusing
catchy vocal samples with melodic plucked basslines and darker growls. Closing the EP on a high is a full
vocal mix of “Xero”, enabling fans to enjoy an alternative version of the track featuring Camo spitting
additional lyrics over the track’s contorted drops. It’s an A&R master stroke, concluding this ambitious
international EP by ensuring that fans of one of Oceania’s finest drum and bass labels are treated to a full
display of the Canterbury MC’s barring abilities. Xeomi, Kaiza and ProtoCode have quite literally gone to the
ends of the Earth to put this project together, and the results of these global link-ups speak for themselves.
