Stoner takes a break from his usual tech-edged productions to deliver a more experimental single for Dojo favourite The Dreamers, and we’ve got the exclusive on A-side Holo! Weird sound designs, unusual rhythms and a catchy chiming lead pack this one full of that eccentric character that makes the label’s output so exciting. Look for this at all good stores from March 19th…
Vancouver imprint Black Tuna Recordings return after a short hiatus with a new EP from Canadian production duo Levrige, and we’re hyped to have the exclusive premiere of Grym! Incorporating influences from hip-hop, trap and footwork into the halftime D&B template, this one has an infectious groove and some serious bassweight behind it. Sick! Grym drops this Friday as part of the Lemme CU EP.
Detached continue their run of excellent D&B releases with a new Various Artists EP, and we’ve got the exclusive on lead track The Harbor. Produced by Hawaii-based Option, this one is a silky smooth liquid jam with beautiful depths and a hypnotic vibe – a perfect start to the week! Check it out and look for the EP dropping March 16th with more tracks from K2T & Sirus, Aardonyx and Pablo Zuazo.
Japanese producer Mountain has served up a delicious two track single for Soulvent which showcases a really exciting take on the liquid sound. Featuring exuberant vocal cut ups and a nuanced approach to the interactions between musical elements, the tracks have a playful feel and appear to draw influence from the wave of 80s-tinged electronica produced by the likes of Rustie & Hudson Mohawk.
Overheat blends jungle breaks with a fantastic syncopated funk, synth swells answered by the rapid-fire bassline and softer melodic elements popping in and out of the mix. Poseidon goes more rolling, with pitched vocal samples dominating the mix for an infectiously uplifting and upbeat track reminiscent of some of Netsky’s best work.
With releases for Hospital and Soulvent in his discography already we’re predicting big things for Mountain; check out the clips below and grab the single from your favourite store now.
Rolling beats on today’s exclusive guest mix as Blendits boss Chris Harmonics steps up with a 45 minute selection. As you’d expect given the label’s MO, the mix combines the rough and the smooth with liquid rollers from the ikes of Calibre and Mistical sitting alongside tougher tech beats from Bredren, Phentix and blendits crewmembers Mindmapper & Silvahfonk. There’s also a host of dubplate fire in there so watch out for those unreleased beats.
As always you can check out the mix via Soundcloud below or head to Youtube or iTunes to stream. You can also grab a download from Google Drive.
Today’s exclusive is another slice of wicked old school jungle as Lossless Music continue their excellent run of Dope Plates EPs. Phillipines-based Brit Scape comes correct with some serious break chopping badness on Escapism. Straight back to the early 90s sound! Look for this one coming early March on vinyl and digital alongside new retro-inspired tracks form Sicknote and Mark Kloud. Yes yes!
Defrostatica are back in the spotlight for today’s exclusive as we present a fresh cut from their Rogue Style 2 EP. Reykjavík producer Agzilla comes with the fearsome jungle vibes; sparse rhythms build tension on the intro before the track drops into full amen smasher territory; danger! Look out for this alongside tracks from Digital, Fanu and 6blocc, Calculon & Shamanga; the EP drops March 16th.
