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

Pushing Bass music across Asia and the world at large.
Unchained roams in the forward-thinking universe of Bass music focusing on Halftime and the full amalgam of sound that is Drum and Bass.

Unchained club nights are typically packed events focused on the dance floor where every new release is tested and international talent from various corners of the globe are featured.

Emerging from the lush rainforest's of Far North Queensland, Creatune is a producer who draws inspiration from the raw, untamed beauty of the landscape and the unique sounds of the Aussie bush, Creatune's tracks are a fusion of dark drum and bass, dub, halftime and 2-step/ukg characterized by pounding rhythms and earth-shaking basslines. With a deep connection to the natural world, Creatune's music is not just a sonic experience, but a journey that transports listeners to the heart of the wilderness. Whether performing at clubs or doofs, Creatune brings a sense of wildness and wonder to every show, leaving audiences entranced.

João Oliveira a.k.a. Null started to mix and produce in his teen years, constantly searching for his own style and since then, he never stopped. Over the years, his biggest influence has been minimal tech-ish deep vibes found in many genres. Nevertheless, it was when he found Bass music, like Dnb and dubstep, that he finally found the sound that allows him to create music that speaks to his heart and soul.
