HYPERKICKS is an open-squad compilation series from the Bristolian bass & beats scene. Part one features music from Hyroglifics, Hi5ghost, Drone and Jook

Drawing influences from soundcloud rap, dubstep and grime; this inaugural 4 track collection is as much a snapshot of the evolving intersection between American and British rap aesthetics as it is a dancefloor offering crafted with impeccably Bristolian attention to bassweight.

CRIMES! 'Lords EP'
Release Date: 16th June 2017
Label: 20/20 LDN 
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN006

CRIMES! brings charged-up heaviness, melodicism, 8-bit wormholes and sparkling touches to the expanding 20/20 LDN roster. Soulful vocals and epic cinematic breakdowns take the ordinary bass vibe into a refreshingly illuminating and otherworldly place. Raised in Southern California but recently moved to Portland Oragon, CRIMES! has previously released with Saturate Records and Never Slept and has been supported by Noisia, Plastician and DJ Craze.

"With the abundance of genres being birthed within multiple music scenes, its hard to pin point the direction of my music. I like to keep evolving styles and having no two beats sound the same. I come from a heavy hip hop background, hailing from the West Coast I've been exposed to some of the best and eclectic in the game. Having been heavily inspired by the beat scene in LA and also electronic music, naturally the two mixed into the sound I've been pushing. It was an honor having the crew at 20/20 interested in my music, so naturally I was excited to work on this EP. There's a dark and light side to these tracks combining 8bit sci-fi fantasy with a heavy bass hip hop twist."

Tracklist:
01. Lords
02. Karma
03. Videowarp
04. Lords (Ivy Lab Remix)

PAINT 'Exodus' EP
Release Date: 18th August 2017
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: 12" Vinyl // Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN007

A progressive electronic duo, formed in 2016 by seasoned beatsmith Tsuruda (Darker Than Wax, Team Supreme, Division) and experimental artist Huxley Anne (Dome of Doom/Alphapup), PAINT incorporates all aspects of both member’s creativity. The duo was inspired as the two were coming up in the LA beat scene, often adding visual elements to their live performances while writing genre-defying songs in the studio. Their style draws largely on abstract hip-hop, jazz, bass, and grime influences, but unites these elements into seamlessly painted soundscapes that stand out in the modern sea of electronic music. Their powerful rhythms, colored nuances, and expressive lead synth tones ignite in the PAINT live show, where you can often find the duo mashing custom visuals together while spinning tracks back to back.

“After years of writing together under our solo aliases, this EP has solidified a creative purpose—unifying musical production with a visual aesthetic to elevate electronic music into the realm of art. It also serves a social purpose, placing a man and a woman on equal footing within a technical environment where women are scarcely represented. Fighting against both genre and gender constructs drives our forward-thinking energy inside the musical structure.

When 20/20 LDN approached us about writing an EP, we were ecstatic. They’ve created a platform we value for both the visual aesthetic and their fearlessness in bridging genres within electronic music. For us, working with Ivy Lab on this release is directly in line with our goals of defying genre constructs in order to create art that lives beyond contemporary confines.

This EP is an intellectual apex for us, seeking to defy genres from within their technical and stylistic constructs. By combining sound design techniques from European bass music with the rebellious energy of the LA beat scene, we’ve entered a musical landscape that is not yet defined. The EP’s title, Exodus, represents our departure from genre-based music, opening up a new environment where sound design, aesthetic, synthesis, and culture have become modular tools for exploring the future of electronic production."
- Tsuruda & Huxley Anne

Paint "Exodus" [2020LDN007]

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)

Tim Parker “Slanted” EP
Release Date: 31st August 2018
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN013

Tim Parker has maintained a secure taste-maker status at the heart of the British hip-hop and alt-electronica landscape as a club & radio DJ for almost a decade. Originally from Cambridge, Parker’s time has since been spent in London contributing to the city’s musical landscape, operating as a crucial fixer-cum-influencer for the instrumental hip-hop community.  

He helped materialise the first London appearances for acts such as Lapalux, KNXWLEDGE, The Range & Obey City (as co-curator of the Streets of Beige club night); hosted his monthly ‘You’ll Soon Know’ show on NTS radio since the station’s inception 7 years back (showcasing guests including MNDSGN, Ta-Ku & Joe Kay); commanded a residency at the 20/20 LDN club night as long as the event has existed; and has recently taken on an A&R role for dBridge’s widely-acclaimed Exit Records imprint.

In the time since his inaugural release on the 20/20 LDN label (with the track “U Smart” - a collaboration with Ivy Lab), Parker has developed a distinct solo sound, tipping his cap to the dance floor whilst encapsulating the instrumentation of golden-era hip-hop and its jazz-infusions.   

The “Slanted” E.P drops on 31st August featuring 3 original compositions and a guest appearance from BSN Posse with their Jungle Juke remix of the EP’s title track. Cover art comes courtesy of Steve Teeps (Flying Lotus, The Weeknd, Odesza).  

Tracklist:
1. “Rules”
2. “Slanted”
3. “Warped Wing”
4. “Slanted” (BSN Posse Remix)

Tim Parker - "Warped Wing" [2020LDN013]

Deft 'Bellyboy EP'
Release Date: 2nd November 2018
Label: 20/20 LDN Recordings
Format: Digital
Cat No: 2020LDN014

From hard-hitting, highly energised dance floor cuts to lo-fi, emotively powerful soundscapes, this is the ever-evolving world of Deft. 'Bellyboy' EP is his second release for Ivy Lab's 20/20 LDN label. The title track features 18 year old, London based lyricist Buchannan, mostly known for his previous work with Kai Whiston (Big Dada) as well as his releases on Brainfeeder affiliate PBDY’s TAR in Los Angeles. 

“It’s been just over two years now since ‘Blackest’ EP was released, and since then I’ve been writing a lot of  music in this vein; experimenting and acquainting myself with new techniques and sounds to further refine and adapt my output. ‘Bellyboy EP’ is a good representation of the past year musically, and the direction these experimentations have taken Deft. ‘Bellyboy’ sees my second vocal feature to date with the very talented Buchannan”.
- Deft

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

Over the last eight years of releasing music, Deft has built an established reputation out of his own signature sonic personality, drawing influence from hip hop, sound design, house, 140, jungle and footwork. This combination makes him impressively adept at shaking off the constraints of genre and tempo, which in turn has gained him the support of Gilles Peterson, DJ Shadow, Daedelus, Om Unit and Rockwell amongst many others. 

Deft’s profile within the electronic music scene saw him strive from peak to peak through a strong and consistent set of highly praised EP’s, collaborations and remixes through labels such as 20/20 LDN, Exit, 1985 Music, Wotnot, Rwina, Project Mooncircle, Skullcandy, 2nd Drop, Brownswood and Hypercolour offshoot Space Hardware to name a few. Along with having the opening track for Maya Jane Coles’ ‘DJ Kicks’ (!K7 Records), Deft has been on remix duties for the likes of Ivy Lab (20/20 LDN), Ital Tek (Civil Music), Gang Colours (Brownswood), Submerse (Project Mooncircle), Glenn Astro (WotNot), Tiga and Graham Coxon (EMI).

As a member of the ever-expanding Wotnot music collective and 20/20 LDN crew, Deft began his performances through live shows, bringing high levels of vigor and excitement to dancefloors in the UK, and has now transferred this energy into his eclectic and fruitful DJ sets around the world. Along with headline shows and tours in Japan, Russia, USA / Canada, China and all over Europe, he has supported the likes of Eprom, Skream, Machinedrum, Martyn, Alix Perez, Bullion, Tokimonsta, Reso and Paul White. Amongst his live & DJ shows, Deft has performed on Boiler Room as well as closing Gilles Peterson’s 2016 Worldwide Awards.
