the starting part doesn't quite appeal to me, but that's probably the "noise" of false noise. probably need to learn how to enjoy the sound design. everything from this point onwards is amazing tho

I swear there is vocals in this section. They are insanely difficult to pick up but subtly hovering above everything.

How much sub movement do you want? False noise: yes

the pulsing of the bass is insane. this goes hard

this was an alternate version of collapse theme from an earlier stage of the album. before i added the scream vocal layer into the original track i didn't really like it that much, so i tried recycling the track into something entirely different

Return to Winter

i tear slowly- 
the ice
resists my pace- 
the trees
fox!

fox, past the flakes

After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.

Don’t Be Afraid label boss Semtek makes his return as @persuasiondj with a heavyweight remix EP on @ULTERIORMOTIVESRECORDS, featuring fresh takes from Dev/Null & Tim Reaper, Ironik and Friske. Each side of the record contains its own nuances on the dark, unnerving, and erratic pace of the original track. Dev/Null and Tim Reaper bring a spaced-out pairing of intricately designed fast-paced breaks and stripped-back gloomy reese basslines, neatly punctuated by loosely off-beat stabs swimming in delay and reverb.
