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

Real name: Yougin (Evgenii Khmel) Russian
*From Saint-Petersburg 
(Тот самый атлант, который держит небо на каменных руках)
Currently based in Thailand/Phuket.

Hailing from St Petersburg is Evgenii Khmel who established himself in the drum & bass scene as Black Barrel and in recent years has been making waves in the dubstep scene under Leo Cap. He's performed under both aliases across the world, played at the biggest clubs and events including Fabric, Rampage & Outlook Festival, and toured Australia and New Zealand as well.

“The process of writing music is no easy feat, especially when it’s as technically demanding as drum and bass is. With the development of technology over the last two decades, the standard of production required to release electronic music has set the bar very high. Someone’s music that has consistently managed to effectively translate onto sound systems without sacrificing progression, groove or funk is Black Barrel.” UKF
