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.

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.

Overlook, considered for a long time as one of Drum & Bass’ rising stars now sits at the genre’s top table having walked the path, earning recognition and veneration. A staple of the UVB-76 Music camp, his debut album ‘Smoke Signals’ confirmed his potential, widely acknowledged as one of the best releases of 2017.
 
Overlook’s music pays homage to great Drum & Bass tradition while viewing the genre through a futurist lens. Now making significant inroads into Techno & Ambient music, Overlook makes no secret of his influences from the world of film and art, drawing heavily on the suspense, tension and restraint of the medium. A consummate producer and highly credible remixer Overlook isn’t bound by the numbing limitation of genre.
