Stepping up to the Edit Room this week we are stoked to present @tortugadesonido ! This Leeds-based DJ and producer has been doing bits as co-owner of Size 13,  recently releasing a released killer VA, ‘Subtle Oscillations’, featuring some of our favourite Northern producers.

Spicing up the 2017 drill classic “Golden Boot” by the legend that is Headie One, Tortuga has crafted up tight drum hits and sub-heavy squelches to create what he calls the “heaviest and most dangerous tune I’ve ever released”. Can’t argue with that.

Shoutout to the 3D wizard Tom Ryan for the artwork

Hello people, take your old-school jumpsuite out of the closet because for this Bandcamp Friday I’m releasing an Electro-Breakbeat Bootleg of a classic track from the 80’s that probably many of you know: Time To Move by Carmen. This amazing track has already been revisited many times but with this groovy bassline and catchy vocals I couldn’t resist to make my UnoTurbo version! Enjoy!

Time To Move Bootleg

Memories is a nostalgic trip going directly back to the wizard's childhood back when the only electronic music he could hear was from videogames and tv broadcasts.
The only close thing he could find was that daft punk CD he rented at the library...

This track is the first of a serie that tries to reignite lost, blurred memories of greyish plastic & afternoons of boredom spent in your child's room in the early 2000's.

NÜ PREMIERE : Jeune Sorcier - Memories

Long time friend, affiliate and musical chameleon @HugoMassien debuts Outer Reach on KAIZEN. An expansive 3-tracker, combining big room breaks and bass with emotional house and wobbly 2step.

Boasting an impressive back-catalogue on XL, Tectonic and some of the biggest labels on the UK club circuit, we're super chuffed to be welcoming Hugo to the KAIZEN family.

Since shelling down KAIZEN KLUB 5 years ago at our early ‘Bussey Building’ raves, playing a stack of unreleased heaters that tore up the dancefloor, this alliance has been a longtime coming.

A1. Inexplicable
Euphoric textures and hypnotic female vocals ride a rolling 4x4 house beat. Lined with ethereal tones and an ambient interlude that crescendos into a restorative climax, this uplifting and transcendental exploration into the mind, body and soul, harnesses Massien’s ability to float between genres and realms.

A2. Outer Reach
A ‘hands-in-the-air’, feel-good breakbeat banger built for the Ravers. In a move reminiscent to some of Bicep’s biggest anthems, crackling with energy and old-skool jungle breaks that ride along warbling synths and chopped-up vocals, this explosive 130 club tool blends the rave with the ambient. A hybrid we’ve come to know and love in true Massien-fashion.

B1. Shimmer
Stripped back but chunked to the max, this 2-step wobbler thrives in the subs. Dark and dubby with a heavy and wonky bassline that shimmers throughout, this hefty B-Side is an assassin of its own. The musical equivalent of a British Bulldog looking you in the eye while salivating over a giant bone, it’s a sound tailor-made for dark spaces and big room moments.

Dead Trax proudly presents solla’s debut EP “nthat” (DDTX002): two club-ready tracks set at 135 BPM showcasing a unique sound based around intricate percussive work, granulated textures and omnipresent sub bass, always paying tribute to the dub influence which permeates the UK sound.

Born in Bristol, @solla-sound grew up immersed in diverse musical influences. Driven by a passion for sound exploration, he ventured into the world of synthesis and modular synthesizers, and has now progressed to programming VST plugins for his professional endeavours. With a vinyl release under his original alias SØL on the Karbanik Sound label, as well as several collaborative records with Harrta as Sabasonik, his work has appeared on labels such as Earth & Stone, Outhouse Sounds, and 786 Recordings. After moving to Montreal (Canada) and finding inspiration in the city's dynamic underground music scene, he continues to evolve his sound now under the ‘solla’ alias, all whilst retaining the distinctive influences from his Bristol roots.

DDTX002 will be out on March 7th 2024 via Bandcamp and all the usual digital platforms.

Written, produced and mixed by solla.
