A familiar favourite, Deft, steps up with his second EP on Hooversound, featuring a VIP remix of one of his original songs taken from his 2020 ‘Burna’ EP.

Defts ‘Burna’ EP back in 2020 set the tone perfectly for Hooversound, it being the second release on the imprint following Hyroglific and Sinistarr’s almighty ‘BS6’. Deft’s hybrid artistic style of production sat perfectly within the launch of Hooversound as he went on to rise steadily within the underground electronic scene. Fast forward four years, Deft returns to Hooversound with an equally impressive follow up, entitled ‘Two Years’.

Yip Wong aka Deft has been producing music for nearly a decade. Within that time he has crafted a signature style using elements of dance, cinematic sound design, hip hop, jungle, footwork and 140. This enigmatic style of production has led him to release on 20/20 LDN, Exit, 1985 Music, Critical Music and more. His release schedule alongside his ever evolving sound has gained the attention of not only London and UK listeners, but fans worldwide.

Defts new ‘Two Years’ EP on Hooversound once again sees the talented producer drawing elements from 140, footwork and jungle, all laced with his ability to create immersive atmospheres and intricate percussion. It’s been teased across SHERELLE and NAINAs DJ sets for months, with it finally dropping to the masses this summer on Hooversound.

A.Fruit - Somnambulism [Premiere]

With "Somnambulism", I invite listeners into a dreamlike exploration of the subconscious, where reality blurs with the surreal. This body of my work weaves together heavy basslines, haunting melodies, powerful rhythms, and atmospheric textures to evoke the feeling of wandering through a world just beyond the edge of wakefulness—dreaming with eyes wide open. The concept reflects that paradoxical state of being fully awake and aware, yet lost in a dream-like experience. It's as if the mind is caught between two worlds—one grounded in the physical, and the other in the realm of the intangible and unknown. Each track captures the transient emotions, fragmented thoughts, and vivid imagery that emerge in this in-between space, where the boundaries of reality and illusion dissolve, and both clarity and confusion coexist. It’s a journey through the subconscious, where one is both lucid and adrift at once—feeling the weight of the world while also drifting through the depths of an inner dream.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kindness is so scarce these days, it drives me mad.

A.Fruit flies off the hinges — and with her, Egor Konstantinov and Maria Poroshina — in Qurgōn’s third piece: a tribute to the rage that demands to be let out.

For our first release, we teamed up with Teen Film Lab, curated by Lena Vanina and Kirill Kulagin. They co-author with kids from post-Soviet countries to explore how they see the world. Through that lens, beauty sometimes emerges from the mundane; sometimes it zeroes in on what’s unnoticed or hard to put into words.
On this journey, you never know what you’ll find — so off we go.

Viner - Qurgōn (A.Fruit Remix)

"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."
