Pessimist

UVB76-024 : WPN-1 | WPN-2

A. WPN-1
AA. WPN-2

Release Date: 1st July 2022

Pessimist returns to UVB-76 Music with WPN-1 and WPN-2. Tracking at 170 and 130 beats per minute respectively, Pessimist asserts himself with drawn out apprehensive intros on both tracks leading to tribal drums and weighty basslines on WPN-1 and percussive hardcore-esque breaks and tones on WPN-2. A triumphant return for one of the labels finest.

A. Gremlinz – Ratchet 
AA. Cern – Second Thoughts 

Release Date: December 2nd 2022 (Vinyl)/December 9th 2022(Digital)

Label co-founder, Gremlinz, returns to his imprint with the kind of spine-tingling B-Boy darkness that only he can ply. ‘Ratchet’ sees cascading amens, deft break chops, amazon drum taps, tumbling 808, and an omnipresent dread inducing atmosphere, saturating the entire affair. Heads down, elbows up! 

On the flip, Cern, successfully harness the emulator, squelchy funk of the brothers Quinn for ‘Second Thoughts’ with taut beats and bass, evoking late 90’s Fortan and pre-Wormhole tech noir futurism.

By now a fabric of the Samurai Music sound, Tensor sees Sardinia's Last Life back for his fourth release for the label. The dive-bomb bounce of Offside opens the EP - hurling out laser-sharp mentasms over a searing groove. Elements adds pace with a driving amen tunnel, pinned down by a swaying half-step kick formation and a vocal insignia. Title track Tensor combines many of Last Life's signature talents perfectly - honed amen edits, a lush percussion loop, and kick drums sitting perfectly - a lesson in propulsion. EP closer Incubus has been receiving the most plays by DJs - a flexing groove, dripping in menace and raw power.

Holsten
DROOGS013

A. Hidden Figures
AA. Strident

Not content with already laying waste with multiple exhibitions of villainy previously on Droogs and UVB-76, Holsten returns from the depths to inflict more destruction with his latest salvos for Droogs.

“Hidden Figures” blacks out right from the top with insidious pads, phantom force knocks, filthy Reece and a reverberating clock bell that signals the witching hour is upon us. 

“Strident” shoots poison darts through the tree line with cascading breakbeats, soundman call outs, more nefarious Reece sweeps and chest out Junglist bravado.

DROOGS014

A. Tarot / AA. Detour

Release Date: June 30th 2023

DROOGS is back with more unfettered darkness from chief crew member Overlook. First up, we have ‘Tarot’; harnessing echoes of the St Albans’ amigos and laser pointing their unsettling dread into a burning sink hole of riddim.

Flip over for a metallic stepping lash out, ‘Detour’, with holes punched through the omnipresent fog by staccato bursts of jazz stabs penetrating the Jungle canopy from above. 

Lights out.

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.
