Coming across quality producers isn’t always easy. 

Whilst we do our best to search far and wide for great talent, it’s not often that we have the right artists come to us. 

One of the winners of our remix competition in early 2020, Ryo Odagawa delivered a spectacular remix of Subp Yao’s “Backwitda”. Producing under the moniker Fetus, the 21-year-old prodigy lives in Osaka, Japan and is fast becoming a recognised name in the Japanese Drum and Bass scene. His tune, Black Glass, was unearthed recently on our annual Lunar New Year-themed, “The Year of the Ox” compilation, and was incredibly well-received. 

We’re now excited to be releasing his debut EP “Dark Monkey” along with Black Barrel’s stamp of approval with his remix of “Tar 11mg.” 

The five-track release is a little goldmine of tunage that is yet another chapter in Fetus’s unfolding gritty narrative as an electronic musician and showcases the absurd lucidity of every note and sonic stride he takes. 

The opening track “Tar 11mg” leads as the EP’s atmospheric rolling Drum’n’Bass belter with a soulful yet sinister touch. Half-time tracks “Depth” and “Dark Monkey” are both sublimely wonky yet punctured with club hungry industrial energy and sophisticated sound design. 

“BOO” is an energetic 160 breakbeat trip with hints of electro, clinical vocal stabs and other elements best just listened to - we won’t bother defining which boundary this tune crosses - fuck it! 

For the EP’s dirty remix flip we invited Russian boss and long-time Unchained supporter Black Barrel. Known for being able to make dance-floor bangers whilst hungover, blindfolded, using only a kebab and a small collection of broken watch parts, expect faces to get very unattractive when this remix drops.

Lekker has been one of my favourite Noisia tunes ever since I discovered them as a teenager, my friends and I would always use the words that Noisia, De Huilende Rappers and in this case Hustle Athletics use because we thought they are really funny, and 'Lekker' is a funny song, so I thought this would be the perfect one for me to remix!

"Platinum Scatter is a trip along the fringes of music that could still be classified as drum and bass but without the obvious markings of the genre while meeting and merging with forms of techno or music from the wider bass spectrum. I designed this album to be something of a focused journey that should work equally as a cerebral listening experience as much as it should function in clubs. I consider this to be my most conceptual body of work to date, and I hope that you will enjoy its approach to multi-layered rhythms and minimal but striking forms."

"Curiosity is what I miss the most from childhood years. By being constantly curious we keep discovering new things, we focus on the best ones and carry them forever during our life.
The more we discover the more we enrich our mind and shape our personality.
Through reading a book with a funny cover found on the street or listening to some cd’s stored in a dusty box we can start a passion that will last forever.
With 'Rescript', I try to get back that curiosity into my life: all the problems in life disappear, I am now free to use that cultural baggage that I carried with myself for long time but never truly opened.

These 4 tracks show where I culturally come from and where I am heading to: from clubbing and raving in Rome in the early 2000, exploring the London underground bass music scene during my 20’s till finally moving to Berlin and opening up to its techno state of mind.
The old script is now replaced with something that unties myself from a specific genre and makes me curious about what could happen if I mix all the sonic ingredients that are stored in my mind."
