Delta9 continue their run of DLT9 sublabel releases with a pair of deep, dark numbers from Berlin’s No_Name, and we’re hyped to have the exclusive on Behind Enemy Lines. Combining a driving halftime backbone with a plethora of creepy pads, robotic FX, bass growls and percussion fills, this one lives up to it’s name by conjuring a sense of stealth and an utterly threatening vibe. Look out for the single coming Oct 16th at all the usual outlets…
Premiere: Dedman – Renegade (feat. Messenger)

Eusebeia delivers possibly his best music to date later this month for Literature Recordings’ first vinyl release and we’re extremely pleased to present the premiere of Charade!

Rua return with their 7th release featuring more of that hybrid 170 sound melting down sounds at the edge of jungle, grime and all things bass. Today’s exclusive sees Itoa on the remix for Comma, turning the wonky halftime bass of Gasworks into a high energy clap-driven club workout. Dangerous! Look for this dropping Oct 12th at all the usual outlets.
Philth & Wreckless – Heimlich EP [Dispatch]
Philth and Wreckless are two artists we’ve been following for a long time now here at Dojo HQ. From promising early releases for the likes of AutomAte and Flexout Audio, it’s great to see the duo stepping up to release on Dispatch, and the result is some of their finest material to date, either solo or collaboratively.
The EP covers their style of dark, techy D&B through and through, with deeper but still chunky cuts like Heimlich Savage and On My Mind sitting alongside heavier outings Entropy and Surge Wave, the latter being an absolute weapon that takes influence from the classic Renegade Hardware sound of the mid 2000s. If you want four slabs of rolling tech funk then it doesn’t get much better than this! Check out the clips below and head to the Dispatch Store to grab the EP right now…
Premiere: Rounder & Option – Emeralds
Detached Audio are back in our spotlight today with a new single from Devon producer Rounder alongside Hawaii liquid don and label regular Option. Crispy drum production, warm bass, soft pads and twinkling melodies…this one ticks all of our deep liquid boxes. Look out for the release dropping Sep 28th at all the usual stores!
