"The heart of 'Amber' is the evanescence of creativity — the fleeting nature of everything that surrounds us, everything that feels so permanent when we're growing up into adults, but that fades and disappears as we age. The spark and drive of creativity pushes artists to excel and constantly exceed their accomplishments, and with electronic music, this often pushes it into increasingly technical and concept-based areas. The material amber itself is said to clear the mind, to help develop patience and wisdom. My album, 'Amber', has acted much the same for me as a kind of reset with a focus on vibe, musicality, and patience. I mean it to be music for listening that can also work in clubs. I did not want to push or feel compelled into a particular direction, but rather each track to be a true reflection of my current creative state. This simplicity is reflected also in the bare artwork for the vinyl and album — a simple pen drawing burnt onto the cover, the last mark my grandfather committed to paper 1 week before he passed."

yunis — Amber (feat. Dayle, JuLo, Shield, SubMarine)

The Chikara Project strikes again with an impressive silky release that's bound to be left on repeat. Chikara welcomes Haida to the label with his debut EP, "Don't Need A Title". We chose to Premiere @mysticstate remix which has been left on repeat since they sent it over. 

"When Haida, an enigmatic figure who resides in the islands of British Columbia, sent us "Don't Need A Title", we were immediately blown away.. The title track is a thick, powerful beast, with elements of UK garage, broken soul and early 2000's dubstep all fused together into a truly unique track, with an absolute earworm of a vocal hook. "Tribunal" walks a more introspective path, with organic, tough percussion, ethereal melodies and gritty reece chops. To round off the release, label heads Mystic State flipped the titular track into a 160bpm crawler, with their signature clean drums, reverberated atmospheres and warm basslines."

"Mystic State return to their own imprint The Chikara Project with their first solo release in nearly a year, the “Stutter” EP. Comprised of four tracks which perfectly summarize the trajectory the duo’s sound has taken over the past few years, the “Stutter” EP is Mystic State’s most confident, mature and accessible release yet."

HAVELOCK ‘Chamber’ EP
Release Date: 16th February 2018
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN008

Having thus far mainly featured as a guest on music released by long time supporters Ivy Lab, the Chamber E.P marks the first solo excursion for 28 year old Nick Jackson a.k.a Havelock; arriving via the same 20/20 LDN imprint that housed all of his collaborative work.

Featuring a span of BPM’s and aesthetics ranging from knocking 808’s to papal-inspired Jungle; the project makes for a relentlessly bleak and unsettling listen - featuring guest appearances from 20/20 mainstay Deft on the track “Chimes”, and Bristol-based instrumental grime producer Hi5Ghost with his remix of “Graphics”.

Born and bred in London, Havelock has been quietly honing his production for almost a decade, branching out from his initial explorations in minimal drum and bass into territory closer in complexion to noise-scene abstractions and alt-hip hop.

Having cut his teeth DJing in clubs and bars during his stints in Amsterdam and Leeds, he went on to found the Buried Audio record label, responsible for releasing music from acts who would go on to become celebrated actors in the bass music landscape. Sitting in the same lane as a small cohort of pioneering outfits such as Darkestral & Exit Records, Buried audio went onto release some of the earliest works from artists such as June Miller (Ram Records) & Nick Modern (Metalheadz/Tempa)

It was only after wrapping up Buried Audio and returning to London that the Havelock alias was born; his focus turned to producing music that encapsulated an increasingly far-reaching taste in obscure underground electronica. Drawing on influences from ambient, metal and abstract hip hop, his sound is loosely engineered by design and paints bleak landscapes with a tangible rawness and innocence.

Tracklist:
1. Graphics
2. Chamber
3. Chimes (with Deft)
4. Fiction
5. Graphics (Hi5Ghost Remix)

It's more of a 'DJ Edit' than a full-on remix; but we couldn't resist adding some muscle to this dreamy track from singer/actress Tessa Thomson.

“Last year I released my debut album 'Cracks'; It's the most personal work I've written to date and a project that I was very emotionally invested in for three years. Once it was released, I was left not really knowing where to take things, but slowly found some fun in writing with rap beat formats and palettes; 8 on, 8 off, stripped back, low swung beats. I'm having a lot of fun writing in this area at the moment, and enjoying the process - hopefully more of this to come.”
- Deft

From highly energised dance floor cuts, to lo-fi, powerful soundscapes, this is  the ever-evolving world of Deft. Ahead of an EP of new music, hard-hitting track ‘Zimma’ is released 14th February 2020.  

Yip Wong aka Deft has become an immediately recognisable producer that skilfully hops from headphone to dance styles through cinematic sound design, driving intricate percussion and immersive atmospheres. 

Over the last nine years of releasing music, Deft has built an established reputation of his own signature sonic personality, drawing influence from hip hop, sound design, house, 140, jungle and footwork; a combination which makes him impressively adept at shaking off the constraints of genre and tempo. This has, in turn, gained him the support of BBC Radio 1 & 6 DJ’s such as Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbs, as well as veterans DJ Shadow, The Glitch Mob and Trevor Jackson amongst many others. 

2019 brought a new chapter to Deft’s career with the release of his first LP, ‘Cracks’ on 20/20 LDN; a release that encompasses the best of his past experiences, technical capabilities and his distinctive emotively driven music to date. ‘Cracks’ came at #27 in DJ Mag’s ’Top 50 Albums of 2019’.
