Nostre has been making moves over the last year, honing his style of emotional liquid via some impressive releases for labels like Omni Music, Influenza Media & DNBB Digital. With an EP coming up on Celsius later in 2019, we grabbed him for a chat about musical influences, the scene in Norway and what he has in store for the rest of 2019…

Look for this one coming June 28th at digital stores via Conflate Audio…
Premiere: Esc – Arrowhead
Straight Up Breakbeat are an imprint that live up to their name in a big way; if you’re keen on the modern rejuvenation of the classic jungle sound then these guys have you covered. Our latest exclusive is the lead track on Finish break wizard Esc’s forthcoming EP for the label and it’s a sublime mix of deep melodic echoes and frenetic drum programming…fans of Fanu, Sully and DJ Trax should be all over this. The EP drops on vinyl and digital July 5th…get to know!
Q&A: In Reach Records
The In Reach crew know a thing or two about Drum & Bass. Starting out as an online magazine, the trio behind the imprint have helped shape tastes in underground music in the capital for the past six years. Now with new imprint In Reach Records they’re taking things to the next level; with their third release just around the corner we thought it was high time we caught them for a chat. Read on for the history of the In Reach crew, their plans for the label and their ethos on running good events, plus you can check out the exclusive premiere of Space Area 1977 from the upcoming EP by Greekboy below!
Premiere: Sedo – Evolution
Dark tech minimalism with an edge of soul on our latest exclusive as Sedo delivers fresh cuts for Modular Carnage. Evolution channels the stark, punchy sound that Sedo has been carving out over the last couple of years, but with a little softness around the edges…dare we say it channelling the influence of Break? Sick tune either way. Look for this dropping June 28th.
DNB Dojo Mix Series 88: Hybris
This one is pretty special…we’re incredibly excited to bring you an exclusive mix today from the one and only Hybris!

Sick selections!
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.
Premiere: Surgence – Nocturne
Surgence might be a new name but the producer behind it has plenty of experience under his belt, both under previous D&B alias Bazil and as part of reggae outfit Dreadzone. Hot on the heels of a collaborative release with Noir for Subplate Recordings, his latest work comes to US label Voyage Music later this month and we’re hyped to have the exclusive on Nocturne! Deep bass vibrations, stark atmospheres and intricate drum work make for a masterclass in understated, creeping techstep. Sick tune…look for this coming June 21st at all the usual digital stores.
