Functions Of The Now is a mix series charting modern developments at the innovative edges of dance music. Originally conceived in 2013 to shine a light on the once-again fertile grime production scene and its influence, the remit of the series quickly widened to incorporate all manner of interesting manipulations of existing club modes. Whether it's Air Max 97's "oblique club trax", E.M.M.A.'s baroque grime or DJ NJ Drone's hyperkinetic take on Jersey Club it all has a home in Functions Of The Now. We hope to draw connections between these often disparate forms.

Bristol party crew and record label Crazylegs continue to contribute to the UK's underground bass music scene by serving up a 12" from Gage.

More exclusive music

Premiere: Gage 'Telo'

For the sixth edition of our series we check in with the hotly tipped Gage fresh from the release of his unhinged Crazylegs debut 12". After Jacques Gaspard Biberkopf's incredible set of weightless abstractions Gage moves us firmly back into the club with a percussive workout that matches the unrestrained energy of Telo/Shiftin. In true enigmatic fashion this edition’s mix comes with no tracklist, but look out for some special Gage edits & VIPs, dancefloor-destroying pulses and a very Bristolian remix of a Drexciyan classic. Trainspotters, your time!

Tiger's Eye Pad

Following Sharp Veins' spectacular ambient instalment, we're excited to bring you the latest edition of Functions Of The Now from an artist we've had in our sights for a mix since before the series even began. Hot on the heels of his Hydraulics EP - perhaps his most well-realised release to date - Bloom has provided us with a companion piece that contextualises his future-facing, mechanical take on grime. The mix is comprised of almost industrial re-imaginings of classic grime tropes and barely offers a moment's respite as it barrels through FOTN alumni Jacques Gaspard Biberkopf, Sharp Veins and Gage - in particular watch out for his highly sought-out dubplate with Kevin Jz Prodigy - as well as rising stars like Janus' club agitator Lotic and recent Truancy Volume mixers Victoria Kim. Needless to say, it's one of our favourites in the series to date and we think you'll agree.

…so I'm back once again with my annual Hip Hop round up. It's always hard to try and fit in my favourites amongst the usual big hitters, so this year I decided to go all out and extend the mix to 3 hours… Yep, 180 minutes…

Again, it's been another interesting year, with loads of great music from all spectrums of the genre… As usual, some of the more obvious club tracks are not on the mix, but it's not about putting together a generic selection of the same club tracks that every other DJ is rinsing… Because that sucks… As a result, there's definitely something for everyone on this mixtape.

…So, whether you're wasting time on the PS4, admiring that widescreen TV that you copped in the Black Friday sale, or simply judging people online like Kermit The Frog, I hope this mix is the perfect soundtrack… Thanks again to the guys over at Akute apparel for another great mixtape cover.

And lastly, thank you for listening/downloading, and feel free to leave your comments. Big up.

DJ NJ Drone has been occupying precarious borderspace for some time, tip-toeing around genre in his production of frantic, hi-speed abstractions. Overdriven, overloaded, NJ Drone is like déjà vu, an anomaly simultaneously familiar and distant. Travelling through his ‘mind club’ at 150+ bpm gives the sense of breaking through space-time, of continuous momentum accompanied by bizarre vocal incantations that affect the mind like the hideous but kinda cute soundworld of Fitch and Trecartin. But at the end of the day, we break through the mind to find a body lurking beneath, we find embodied ritual beyond weltschmerz, beyond acidic regurgitations of technological positivism. While NJ Drone’s speed may lend itself as a metonym for accelerationism’s privileged desires for cyber-disembodiment, ultimately we are directed towards a firmer politics of the body as resistance in real space (that some of the more optimistic amongst us might hope to find on the dancefloor). In the words of Laboria Cuboniks: “no more futureless repetition on the treadmill of capital, no more submission to the drudgery of labour, productive and reproductive alike, no more reification of the given masked as critique.” Rediscover yr bod with DJ NJ Drone!

For the fifteenth edition of Functions Of The Now we're extremely pleased to present a long time Truants favourite: E.M.M.A. Although E.M.M.A’s release schedule has slowed since her debut album Blue Gardens landed, her Functions Of The Now mix hints at the wealth of dubplates waiting to be unleashed, including the exquisitely titled Magna Kanye. Elsewhere, E.M.M.A finds common ground with producers on the dreamier end of grime: rising star Iglew, Gobstopper Records label head Mr Mitch and Coyote Records affiliate Tom E. Vercetti (solo and together with his production trio Silk Road Assassins) all make an appearance.

For Functions Of The Now XVI we tapped up House Of Trax/Trax Couture boss Rushmore, who ably supplied us with a potent mix of percussive heaters. Today sees the release of the latest edition of Trax Couture's World Series: a singular set of inventive rhythm tracks from Malaysian producer Moslem Priest. Rushmore's mix taps into the same energy, with upfront material from the extended World Series family as well as the man himself.

For the seventeenth edition of Functions Of The Now we travel to Sweden to meet Evolver co-creator Malin. After a series of incredible mixes for Rodeo, Sister and Tobago Tracks we were desperate to get her on board for FOTN, and we're thrilled with what she came through with. Malin's mix taps into an aesthetic that's been sorely missing from the series so far, joining the dots between Quantum Natives’ noisy abstractions, the more deconstructed end of Non Records and the sound art of E. Jane and plus_c’s SCRAAATCH project - and of course, a hefty helping of dark ‘n’ doomy club tracks for good measure.

For the final Functions Of The Now of the year we travel to Philadelphia to meet Jersey club experimentalist DJ Haram. Splitting her work between the DJ Haram and Abdul Kadir aliases, her music encompasses everything from noise to club bangers, via fiercely political collaborative work and Middle Eastern bootlegs. Excitingly her mix is one of the wildest we’ve had, with lots of new DJ Haram/Abdul Kadir productions, a collaboration with Fade To Mind rising star Rizzla and mind bending noise from exciting new face N-Prolenta.
