US imprint Party Guy return with another top EP and this time it’s Clothcutter on the buttons. Today’s exclusive on DNB Dojo is the title track from the EP, No Good. Blending halftime D&B, a pinch of footwork and that instantly recognisable vocal hook, this one has serious groove; fans of Fracture and the more experimental end of the D&B sound will be on this like a fat kid on a cupcake. Check it out and look for the EP dropping August 14th.

Premiere: Sam Binary – March of the Mutants
We’re exceptionally pleased to bring an exclusive today from one of our favourite labels as we present a fresh cut from the Addictive Behaviour camp! Sam Binary joins the label roster on their new Transitions EP with the teched out break chopping of March of the Mutants. Menacing drum work, deep sub and a decidedly ominous tone characterise a tune that’s clearly influenced by classic beats from the likes of Dom & Roland and Tech Itch. One for the dark heads…look for this alongside new beats from Mystic State & Third Degree, Trojan Sound and Wingz when the EP drops July 24th on Beatport.
