Had my ears on this for years. No surprise it's that rabid monster Quartz who is at it again.

Hailing from Mexico, Rainforest - aka Rodrigo Alvarez and Bwoykah ;) is not new to the worldwide Jungle / Drum + Bass scene. Initially starting his DJ career in 2002, he began producing music in 2004, and has since unleashed a flurry of digital releases alongside a number of vinyl offerings too. Pushing a wide range of music aesthetics in every single production, he always manages to focus on trying to make all his tracks sound a bit different from one another.

With a long list of labels supporting and releasing his music over the years, including: 45SEVEN, ALPHACUT, OFFISH PRODUCTIONS, AGN7 AUDIO MONOCHROME RECORDINGS, and WEAPONIST.

Rainforest has also found the time and energy to launch two labels: BREAKBEAT REBELZ and BACKGROUNDS MUSIC. Both imprints serve as an outlet for his own variety of works and for other like-minded producers to explore further experimental angles of JUNGLE and HALFTIME.

Vykhod Sily Podcast - Hoji Guest Mix

DROOGS017 makes its return with a 12" courtesy of Quartz in the form of a razor-sharp two-tracker, showcasing his trademark precision and stripped-back engineering.

The A-side, “Duplicity,” is a masterclass in minimalism cold, skeletal, and immersive, driven by tight basslines and subtle rhythmic shifts. Quartz proves that less truly can hit harder.

On the flip, “Black Prism” a collaboration with Overlook dives into raw ’90s techstep territory. Choppy breaks and haunting stabs build relentless pressure before giving way to a surprisingly blissful finale.

Quartz continues to cement his reputation as one of drum & bass’s most distinctive modern voices.

The Untouchables will bring on Black Rhino Radio the music and style they love, featuring fresh music from their studio & from the artists they like. The show will also benefit from some guest appearances from The Untouchable's favorite roster of artists.

No matter the music, the guest, or the style they use, these guys will keep pushing the Bass side of things.

Bass Music w/ The Untouchables & Clearlight (20.08.2025)

Two more reworks of early tracks originally produced under the Cloaking Device moniker. The menacing synth-driven tornado of Original Inhabitant with its pounding breakbeats, cone-blowing subs and twittering electro is perfectly complimented by the rolling ambient beauty of the aptly-titled Eden Calling. Super deep Breaks & Bass focused D&B with a fresh twist for 2005.

"'All That Glitters' complements with a precise, downtrodden counterfoil, one that doesn't stray too far from the A-side. Thoroughly satisfying, future-cyber drum & bass, bringing high intellect and gleaming, dreaming textures." Juno Records 2025

NARRATIVES017 AA - BLOCKS & ESCHER - ALL THAT GLITTERS - 1087 Mastered (1)

Outer Heaven Sound launches with its debut release, delivering a heavyweight statement of intent from Coventry’s Outer Heaven.

The A-side “Badboy Sound”, channels the roots of jungle through militant breaks and bass pressure - a stripped-back roller built strictly for the system.

On the flip, “Droideka” takes a darker turn: a minimal, shadowy and atmospheric cut, it balances the raw energy of the A-side with a hypnotic, brooding weight.

Launched by Ruffhouse and Gremlinz in 2015, UVB-76 Music has established itself as a leader in the field of underground sonic art, releasing a markedly consistent series of 12” singles, EPs and LP's.

With an intimidating stable of key recording artists including Ruffhouse, Gremlinz, Pessimist, Holsten, Overlook, Outer Heaven, Karim Maas, Clarity and VEGA appearing at events worldwide, UVB-76 Music has articulated a cohesive original sound matched to a visual identity created and curated by artist James Hewitt.

The label continues to operate at the cusp of identification playing a line between Drum & Bass, Techno and an unidentifiable mid-way. As consistent as its namesake, echoing covert communications and unspoken espionage.
