We're very excited to announce our first international release and welcome Static Structure to the family! Based in Brisbane, the music producer is originally from Glasgow where he became involved in the early Hip-Hop, Dub, Hardcore and Jungle scenes in the first part of
the 90's. These bass-heavy broken beats laid the foundations for a lifetime obsession with music and soundsystem culture. Their influences resonate through his unique production style to this day.

Static Structures goes all out with Duck & Cover EP, discharging four weapons designed to tear up dancefloors around the globe. Catalogued as ND007, this release showcases his versatility in the 160 range, bringing heavyweight basslines, frenzied breaks, dreamy pads, rave stabs and chopped-up vocals of varying flavours. An EP that reflects his passion for music and contemporary approach to the Hardcore / Jungle sound.

PREMIERE: Static Structures - Deadly Serious [Nice & Deadly]

Hot on the heels of two wicked releases on Lobster Theremin and SITU Records, London based producer Kempston Hardwick readies 4 bubbling cuts of summer jams with all the zesty twists of an ice cold radler on Distant Horizons.

Whilst his last releases on LT took a more UK-centred sound approach, DISTANT005 has you jumping on the first plane out of London and onto a white, sandy beach somewhere in the South Pacific. The skippy, bright beats of ‘Step With Me’ raise the curtain before the sounds of thes streets of Chicago take over on ‘Roxy’s Party’ - a classic cut of contemporary house that lends from the past while keeping one eye firmly fixated on the future.

‘Leonila’ sees Kempston take on a more experimental aesthetic; tribal drum patterns and vocal samples blend with bending synthwork and and the inspired calm that can only come from the sound of wooden instruments.

Bowing us out is ‘Cascade’, the most quintessential Kempston track on there; his distinctive take on house shining across five minutes of late-night grooves.

Spinning Around Ep 35: Sam Alfred - 30 August 2021

For your sake, we hope you’re up for a challenge. An outback jungle where distorted sonics and fast-pace rhythms are the sustenance on offer. On the surface, our dusty jungle appears a lovely haven for every head in the land.

What’s the matter? You look a little ‘Stressed’. ‘Nervous’ even. Could it be that persistent, spine-shattering sub wub? Catches up with you, doesn’t it? Add in an unrelenting 303 rendered rich in resonance. Feeling it now, aren’t you?

How about that in the other direction? Soul-shaking kick thuds, ear-pricking gated vocal pads, tenacious, shifting arpeggiated synths. You’d best do as you’re told and “Put the drums On The Shelf” if you know what’s best for you. See that over there? See, it belongs to the boss. He doesn’t like it when people aren’t Dancing around his Stray Ute. Sure, the jungle birds inside might sound cute but you'll change your tune when it’s coming nearer. Gaining velocity. Gathering steam. Barrelling toward you. Don’t you worry. Or do. Just be ready. Ready for drums befitting a true jungle. Ready for sliding and prodding bass notes; each more paint-peeling than the last. Ready for overdriven percussion smashes; each more sinister than their predecessors. Reverb-bathed idyllic cuts, striking hybrid synths. Really think you can handle it?

Maxy Cozy has other ideas. His euphoric chords will lull you. Trick you. Make you think the belligerence is behind you. Wrong. You’ll be brought back to earth with a smack in the mouth for thinking you’re capable of managing. Long bass notes fortify, stabbing with malice. Innocent-seeming sounds turn instantly unforgiving. You didn’t think you’d get through it without a scratch, did you?

Magnetic. Energetic. Kinetic. Poetic. Unapologetic

HELLO (I JUST CAME TO SAY HELLO) GABBER REMIX / MELVIINOO

TVNDRA – DON’T TRY THIS [Bass Militia]

The Militia calls once again, and our seasoned soldier TVNDRA answers with firepower. Marking his 8th campaign with the label, his 12th weapon overall, and his 4th feature release, TVNDRA stands tall as one of our most battle-hardened producers. Known for unleashing devastating rounds of dubstep-infused 4x4, reinforced with heavy kicks and stab-driven melodies, he returns to the frontlines with a fresh tactic.

On DON’T TRY THIS, TVNDRA sticks to his tried-and-tested mutant 4x4 assault in the first drop before pulling a tactical switch on the second, deploying an experimental, Berlin-inspired techno formation that drags the battlefield into a darker, more industrial territory. It’s a daring manoeuvre, executed with precision, and proof of his unrelenting evolution as a Bass Militia commander.

To reinforce the mission, three more heavyweights step up for remix duties:

⚔️ PLUVIO – A decorated veteran of Bass Militia, Pluvio returns to the field carrying the banners of Symbiotik Records and Audio Swarm. Widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the Neuro Breaks movement, his arsenal of percussive weaponry and intricate Neuro design has humbled many in combat. His remix of DON’T TRY THIS is another calculated strike of surgical precision, a reminder why few dare to face him in a drum showdown. Today, we also raise a toast to the soldier himself, happy birthday Pluvio and honour his continued service on the frontlines.

⚔️ KIZZA – A rising warlord whose arrival just two months ago with the Synaptic Overload EP and his brutal Yolked remix has already shaken the battleground. KIZZA fights with relentless energy, his basslines strike like artillery fire, and his melodies carve chaos into every frontline he touches. In a time where many soldiers imitate one another, KIZZA’s vision cuts through like a blade, original, ruthless, and impossible to ignore. His remix of DON’T TRY THIS is pure carnage, another reminder that he’s a dangerous new commander in the Bass Militia ranks.

⚔️ KEPTEK – A fresh recruit making her Bass Militia debut, Keptek storms onto the battlefield armed with a hybrid arsenal of hardtek and drum & bass. Her weaponry blends pounding 4-to-the-floor kicks, rolling breakbeats, and razor-edged vocal chops, creating a crossfire of unrelenting energy. Known for turning every dancefloor she commands into a warzone, Keptek’s remix is a high-octane bombardment that announces her arrival to the Militia with authority. This is just the beginning of her campaign. Believe us, she’s already firing on all cylinders.

DON’T TRY THIS is not just a release. It’s a coordinated strike operation, TVNDRA leads the charge, flanked by three heavy-hitting allies, each bringing their own artillery to the frontline. From mutant 4x4 warfare to Berlin darkness, from Neuro Breaks devastation to Hardtek/DnB crossfire. This is Bass Militia in full attack mode.
