Out September 17, pre-order it here: https://cutcross.bandcamp.com/album/cxt004-ebb-x-texture

Introducing Cutcross, created to champion the melting pot of bass-centric sounds teetering around 140 BPM. Heading up the concept is @sicariasound, a DJ duo who since their inception set out to explore and expand on the possibilities of these sounds whilst spotlighting underground artists. Cutcross is therefore their next step in supporting the forward-thinking music that they’ve drawn for when curating sets.

Partners in crime @ebb-nz & @texture_wav by way of New Zealand are at the helm of CXT004. With a heavyweight solo track each - longtime Sicaria Sound set staple ‘5 Skin’ by Ebb alongside Texture’s formidable ‘No Mercy’ - the flip of the record then introduces two fierce collaborative efforts via low-end driven, lively breaks.

Premiere: Ebb X Texture 'Cloudburst'

Experimental bass mutations are the order of the day for production duo Traces. The pair mad dubplates for Loefah and Mala in the past - also making an appearance on Swamp81's Rinse residency - providing odes to the future facing FWD>> sound through their dark and heavyweight aesthetic.

Their latest self-release is titled 'Yolk Psyche' and is a deeply personal project that documents the lifestyle of hospitality work, using raw field recordings warped and twisted into experimental and clunky dance music.

They say, "explosive, textural and short, it aims to capture the stressful balancing act of dealing with long-term physical and mental strain against the short-term gratification gained from working in this industry."

Traces - Humo - Plain Sailing Debuts

Yoke Psyche is a deeply personal project, documenting the lifestyle of hospitality work, using raw field recordings warped and twisted into experimental and clunky dance music.

Explosive, textural and short, it aims to capture the stressful balancing act of dealing with long-term physical and mental strain against the short-term gratification gained from working in this industry.

Atlanta resident Nikki Nair invites you to join his new 4 track EP on Astrophonica - 'Renormalization Support Group'. It's a place where we can share our experiences via the help of Nikki's special 'not quite sure what you call it' bass lead Electro Breakbeat programme.

Track one is 'Plug' - An uptempo low slung booty shaker which will have sound engineers scrambling at cables and faders trying to work out wtf is going on. We've all been there so let's talk about it. 

Track two is 'Where Are U' and encourages us to ask ourselves that question through the exploration of full speed Breakbeat Electro. If we know where we are, we can begin to look into where we are going. Probably the dance floor.

Track three is 'it's NP-Complicated' which sets out an uncomplicated blend of bubbling bass and simple sympathetic drums, providing us with a network to feel more empowered and to build a sense of community. 

Track four is 'Donut Time' - Well done for finishing the course! You can congratulate yourself with a donut full of squelchy acid jam, glazed with frosted pads and hi hat sprinkles.

“Together we can help ourselves be alone together.” - Nikki Nair

Two tracks from me to you 💘
Whilst I've been working on some other music projects and trying to develop my own 'sound', I've decided to free up 'Hot Take' + 'I Did' as two offshoots. Made with dancefloors & soundsystems in mind. Lively percs & big on bass; aka just how I like it. Hope you enjoy!

Written, produced & mixed by Mia Koden
Mastered by Liam McLean

Hot Take / I Did

Cosmic Bridge's club focused 'Earthbase Series' continues with 'Nocturnal' the new release from Russian producer A.Fruit. Four tracks that fuse Footwork, Drum'n'Bass, Techno and bold sound design into the 160 BPM framework. After a heavy hitting set of releases via Russian imprint Hyperboloid, Irish modern trendsetters Rua Sound, and the ever vigilant Med School, so please welcome A.Fruit to the Cosmic Bridge roster. 

Label boss Om Unit says: "Anna has a rare ear in this 160bpm world; one foot firmly in the techier sound-design lane, and one in the world of fun dance floor sounds. Well mixed, and not too serious! It's great to have her on board and we look forward to sharing a stage soon!" 

Kicking things off is 'Make Them Shake’, a hypnotic and contorted expression of footwork with bubbling bass and drum FX - only for the boldest of dancers. ‘Polykarp’ comes complete with rugged old school hardcore chops twisted into a technoid stepper.  'Deep Insight’, is reminiscent of early Moving Shadow Jungle; hypnotic & minimalist with tight drums, glitches and jazzy late night moments. Closing track ’Before You Go’ is a breaks filled, garage-footwork workout; cheeky vocal cuts and rolling syncopated rhythms for your waistline!
