The Italian DNB scene has gone through numerous waves of growth over the year, supported by a few inspirational and dedicated crews with strong roots in original rave culture.

Rikki Calliari, aka Frame, is a unique part of this growth wave and the ever evolving bass movement in Europe. As a DJ, producer and co-founder of Rude Sound, Frame has seen a plethora of releases across multiple labels that span the diverse frontiers of bass - including The Dreamers, Delta9 and Influenza Media.

We are therefore excited to welcome Frame into the Unchained famiglia, with his debut release on the label, the Arabic Gum EP.

Centring around quirky danceability, the title track’s middle eastern flavours raise an otherwise menacing dark steppa into an exquisite blend of hypnotic drum and bass, followed closely by an even weightier smooth roller, Blonde or Brunette. Good Feeling arrives just in time for summer with uplifting synths paired with cheeky horn samples and hefty subs. Then, In My Mind, Frame reworks the 90s Jungle sound complete with minimal amen breaks, vocal stand and rave funk balanced by clinical production.

Definitely a well crafted serving on our 2021 menu, We really hope you like this one!

Love,

Unchained Crew

From listening to my first rave tape, the sounds introduced to me, blew my young mind. Fast forward to many years later I met a group of like minded friends who had turntables that I could play on which started my desire to learn to play. Whilst attending the underground raves I met a group of friends who was interested in forming a sound system, which became the notorious Koalition Soundsystem which played at various raves across the country. After the raves died down I had the opportunity to present various internet radio shows inviting local talent to play alongside me for many years. As well as playing at clubs and festivals across the country. Lately I have joined up with a group of friends which then became, True F'RMS! Where we have been doing livestreams on internet radio station and studios like Rough Tempo, Dose radio and Silverback studios as well as a few others. Also we had a ep come out on Rawdio recordings as well as some forthcoming releases.
