We're pleased to welcome back the mega talented J. Kong for what will be his last EP under this moniker before moving to a new alias for 2023. This does not mean the end for In:flux and J. Kong though, as we plan to continue working with the producer under his new alias 'imakemusicbtw' on projects from next year onwards, and as you will see the two original tracks see a co-production credit for this new alias to help facilitate new beginnings whilst simultaneously bringing an era to a close.

This is still vintage J. Kong, with musicality in spades and his signature stripped back drums driving the tracks along in a way only he can. This time round he's gone big with lovely micro-transitions and glitches, and this is a sign of what the new alias may encompass, whilst still retaining everything we have loved about J. Kong for these past few years.

On remix duty it is none other than label bosses Tik&Borrow who are back once again on remix duty following their flip on SHVA's EP back in June. This time the duo take B-side 'Pass' and give it the sound system treatment with rolling distorted subs accompanying the lovely vocal stabs from the original, before progressing the tune into a future garage affair for the final stages.

We've had the pleasure to work J. Kong on this project for the past 4 years, releasing 4 EPs, tracks across several compilations and too many remixes to count. We look forward to continuing this on his new project throughout 2023 and beyond!

Gus Heavy - Bare rave dem

"The 4th" is an effective title for these 4 tracks EP at 140bpm, a tempo at which Illkektré once again demonstrates his mastery of rhythm and sound design. With short voices samples, powerful basses cleverly sculpted, hovering melodies and ever more incisive drums, these one will make dancers vibrate to the rhythm of the subwoofer !

Lakeway - The Drop Out

The Rabbit, according to the Chinese lunar calendar, symbolizes longevity, peace, and most suitable for the Unchained trajectory, creativity.  

Each year we set out to collate a mélange of ambiguous club-ready electronic whilst doing our part to cross that apparent divide between drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, footwork, grime and other members of the extended bass family.

We haven’t always been wed to the massive banger alone, but we have to admit, we always will be obsessed. We don’t consider ourselves possessed by sonic slabs that are looped beyond recognition, but we hold them in high regard just the same. 

So with that in mind, curating the Year of the Rabbit compilation took some time this year.

The Year Of The Rabbit showcases artists both emerging and established from China, Russia, England, Holland, and the United States. Be it wonky, divergent, mutant, deep, or simply in the vein of the pure epic club banger, every producer has something remarkable and distinctive going on.

We introduce and welcome back our 2023 Year of the Rabbit artist crew: Subp Yao, Radiax, Lakeway, Danky, Neve, Harka, Doctor Jeep, Leo Cap, Kray, Trophy, Airstrike, Throe, Pllfry and Dynamic Stab. 

Love,

Unchained
