Oxford-based musician Michael Diamond’s new EP, Silk Road EP, serves as a  distillation of this young producer’s divergent interests in genres as varied as Jazz, Ambient, World Music, and Electronic. The cross-pollination of influences and ideas feels especially fitting considering its release via German label Sa’lin Records, a label which advocates for a holistic artistic experience for each of its releases, rooted in the intersection between visual art, poetry, and music.
	
B-side opener, “Glistening Currents”, unfolds according to its own internal dream logic–– each element fusing together in remarkably idiosyncratic, yet unusually precise and awe-inspiring ways. Keeping in line with his jazz background, the track has several phases, the first being a kind of dark, echo-laden breakbeat rhythm, before evolving into a dubby, synth-washed Jazz-House odyssey with jittery, overlapping percussion. The percussion, working in counterpoint to the spacey keys and ambient flourishes, keeps the track alive and constantly evolving. 
	
Diamond displays a remarkable knack for keeping things fresh while never stepping too far afield, wherein the disparate elements would ultimately grow stale or feel disjointed. Diamond intends for listeners to read Áine Kim Kennedy’s accompanying album-sleeve poetry while they listen. With its cryptic imagery and allusions to things like both artist’s Asian identity and history, the answers provided may not be exactly clear. Together, they hint at the impossibility of ever truly arriving at some grand conclusion about the nature of whatever we seek to understand. The track feels like that statement in musical form–– a destination always just out of reach, ultimately rendered insignificant by the magnitude and mysticism of the journey itself.

PREMIERE: Michael Diamond – Glistening Currents

Making his second appearance on the label, we’ve got a serious 160 Grime hybrid by Slinki entitled Baddin Up’. The intro en-captures everything you’d want in a build up to a drop, with stretched breaks style drums, a consistent synth and an almost fake drop that makes you wait that extra 8 bars for the punchy, high adrenaline drop. The drop also features a really well thought vocal sample and a squared off synth patch to deliver that gritty in your face hit that’s sure to get the dance floors moving wreckless

Dem A Lie (ÜIJ Fix)

The first release from Myledo's newly-launched imprint, B&H Records, sees a team of highly talented Australian producers incorporate East Asian musical elements into the bass culture of UKG, jungle, footwork and electro.

GAB premieres Myledo's contribution, 'Milk', an awe-inspiring composition blending East Asian melodic timbres with the gritty hi hats and snares synonymous with footwork. We are extremely excited to see B&H Records' future concepts take shape!

PREMIERE: Myledo - Milk [B&H Records]

It was only right we invited Bristol based - @d-a-f-f-y for another dubplate after his debut with SPD sold out earlier this year. This dub is a heavy weight breaks inspired combo that will shell off a dance no matter what the hour! This has also had heavy support from the likes of Plastician, Addison Groove & MY Nu Leng just to name a few...

Dubplate available exclusively via www.ec2aworldwide.com at 12pm 30/11/2021

Daffy - Champion

An organ plays in an abandoned church. A car blasting 90s era jungle drives past. Someone lobs a bottle of Irn Bru at you from 150m away and lands it right on your dome.

Dijon - Talk Down (Works Of Intent 'Static' Remix)

bass-jump

Everything is bad.

In anticipation of Defrostatica Records's Champion Sound debut, we are happy to premiere Sun Peoples break beat filled footwork jungle remix of "Talk." The Moscow trio known as "Champion Sound" is a producer trio who played together in a reggae band and then decided to form their dub and jungle love into modern club tracks. Neekeetone, Distant Roots and General Koondoongoo are pushing a sound within the Moscow bass scene that is tearing down the city's techno barriers for a diverse vibe of dubstep, jungle and footwork. 

With a recently released 12" on Berlin based label Through These Eyes Records and DJ support by the likes of Om Unit, Moresounds, J:Kenzo, Sun People, Mister Shifter, Mystic Pulse they are on their way to ravers worldwide. Look out for this release dropping on Defrostatica October 4th!

[Premiere] Champion Sound-Talk (Sun People Remix)

Across our tenure as a platform, we've been privileged enough to host a number of tracks from one of our favourite and hottest-tipped upcoming producers - 9TRANE. In the past, we've premiered 'Karbon' & his exceptional remix of Hedchef's 'Transparency Illusion', both deep, bassy creakers that bubble away nicely in the murky, UK Bass bracket. This latest effort, however, may be the finest of the bunch. Debuting on the essential, multi-faceted independent record label, promotional channel & online bass music platform Simply Deep, 9TRANE has come in clutch with a stonking remix of the ultra-talented J-Shadow's 'Modulator'. In the words of the bossman J himself, it's a "diverse yet splendidly hefty rewire" - couldn't have put it better ourselves! Belter.
