Sheer guerilla tactics.

As we coordinate through the thick, wet rainforest, MAC-V comes correct with his 'Phong Nha' solo EP helping you navigate through the darkness.

Characterized by a dark, gloomy atmosphere which will alter the mind to another realm.

AC1D VICIOUS - LAUNCHING ROCKETS

"Sir Hiss explores unique liminal spaces, at the hitherto-unexplored nexus where proto-grime meets Drexciyan aqua-electro" - is how we imagine some publications might describe this, a thundering two-tracker on his ever-more essential No More Mailouts imprint. 'Set Speed' may reference classic DJ Krust in the title, but the intense, writhing mid-bass and precision drum work fits right into the waves currently being surfed by DJs such as Ben UFO, Sam Binga and the Zenker Brothers.

'Boom Sound' leads with the kind of grimey flute Wonder dreamt of back in 2003, matching it with a super-direct square bass straight from the JME production archives, but again, the rolling hats and robo-funk clap work places this firmly into the grime / electro crossover world Hiss is boldly exploring in his work.

Essential!

Dear Solána,

Never stop making music.

Scorsese Baby Daddy (Oatesie's 160 Mix)

This second EP from Alex Jungle comes with the standard amount of chaos and confusion, what with it being titled Chapter Three. But once again, Alex drops four demented breakbeat tracks, flexing his muscles with both the old skool and the classic jungle styles, yet keeping his eyes on progression and innovation. The only thing better than having this Chapter Three EP would be having Chapter Two as well.

Available from 7pm BST on the 12th June 2025
