We warmly welcome soundcloud.com/haidagwan to The Chikara Project with his debut EP, "Don't Need A Title". 

When Haida, an enigmatic figure who resides in the islands of British Columbia, sent us "Don't Need A Title", we were immediately blown away.. The title track is a thick, powerful beast, with elements of UK garage, broken soul and early 2000's dubstep all fused together into a truly unique track, with an absolute earworm of a vocal hook. "Tribunal" walks a more introspective path, with organic, tough percussion, ethereal melodies and gritty reece chops. To round off the release, label heads Mystic State flipped the titular track into a 160bpm crawler, with their signature clean drums, reverberated atmospheres and warm basslines.

**** Jah-Tek Premiere ****
Johney - Grape Brick (SEMEP004)

Johney's musical journey has been a testament to his dedication to pushing boundaries and embracing artistic evolution. His music isn't confined to a single style; instead, he embraces a wide range of influences, resulting in tracks that are both timeless and contemporary. From deep, atmospheric compositions that tug at heartstrings to energetic tunes that ignite dancefloors.

The EP opens with the titular track "Detached," which immediately establishes a deep, immersive atmosphere. It's a blend of ethereal synths and entrancing basslines that sweep the listener into a deep meditative state. Following suit is "Grape Brick," a tune that harkens back to the wobbly skanker vibes that once defined the genre. Johney weaves punchy rhythms with hard-hitting beats, creating a dark but dancefloor-friendly energy that's reminiscent of the genre's inception. "Peach" takes the EP in a slightly different direction, introducing melodic heaviness to the mix. This track showcases Johney's versatility as a producer - the result is a dynamic fusion of emotion and energy, making "Peach" a standout that's both captivating and euphoric. Closing the EP is "Golden Skies," a hypnotic masterpiece that embodies the classic driving force of dubstep music. The rhythmic progression of this track is entrancing, guiding listeners through a labyrinth of pulsating rhythms and evolving textures. "Golden Skies" is a showcase of Johney's skill to craft music that transports listeners to another realm, captivating them with its mesmerizing allure.

In a world where music is a language of its own, Johney's compositions speak volumes. It typifies his ability to blend nostalgic resonances of classic dubstep sound with educated inspirations. His dedication to his craft, his willingness to experiment, and his deep connection to the music he creates all contribute to his status as an artist who continually pushes the envelope and leaves an indelible mark on those who have the privilege of experiencing his work.
