Premiere: Seibel – To The Moon
The latest from one of our favourite labels here at Dojo HQ takes things in a slightly different direction compared to their usual fare as Addictive get in on the summer feeling with a lush melodic roller from Seibel. The German producer layers majestic synths over rolling beats for a spacey, uplifting tune with enough punch for the dancefloor and enough thought for the living room. Vibes for days. Look for this dropping Jul 16th exclusively at Beatport with all other stores following two weeks later…
Premiere: Breaka – Tempted
Another top notch crossover footwork jungle effort from Beat Machine is in our spotlight today and this time it’s Leeds producer Breaka on the buttons! Infectious riddims, crispy beats and a seriously catchy vocal hook…yes please. Watch out for 7″ vinyl and digital dropping July 19th…
Premiere: Flex – I Need You
Deep, understated liquid beauty on our latest track from Flex. Out soon on Nu Venture…definitely a producer to keep an eye on this year considering this and other recent work for Detached Audio. Look for this coming 20th July at all the usual outlets.
Premiere: Acid Lab – Replicant
In Reach launch their new label arm this month with a sick new EP from Acid Lab and we’ve got the exclusive on lead track Replicant! As we’ve come to expect from his productions, this is deep, dark and atmospheric with a focus on chopped breaks and percussive precision. Classic D&B vibes brought up to date for 2018…wicked stuff. Watch out for the EP dropping on Bandcamp from the 16th with all other platforms following a week later.
Premiere: Stranjah – Rushplate
Toronto artist Stranjah (one quarter of new outfit Vortex) is in our premiere spotlight today with a track from his brand new Power LP. Bringing together gritty bass with a fearsome breakbeat assault, this one is pure jungle chaos! Ruffneck business! Out now via the Deviant Audio Bandcamp…get to getting.
Premiere: Wagz – Whiplash
None60 take a break from their more experimental releases to bring us an old fashioned D&B belter from Wagz. Channelling the classic Metalheadz sound to great effect, Whiplash is an old school stark stepper with a massive bassline, sharp drums, and those FX hits that just scream 90s D&B. Wicked sound; this one is out today at the None60 Bandcamp store.
Premiere: Lao Wai – Hypernormal
Delta9 Recordings are in our premiere spotlight once again as we present the premiere of Lao Wai’s new track Hypernormal. Taken from the Factories In Manchester EP (which has already picked up support from the likes of Skankandbass and Noisia), this one combines serene pad atmospheres with stark, heavy hitting D&B minimalism; whip crack snares and massive sub lines all the way. Sick tune! Look for the EP dropping July 13th exclusively at Beatport…
Premiere: alg0rh1tm – Dimensional Passage
Ultra-deep and minimal sounds on today’s premiere as we present a cut from alg0rh1tm’s new album, forthcoming on Dubkraft Records. As you’d expect from label and producer alike, this one is all in the atmosphere, with ominous, industrial soundscapes punctuated by unusual percussion and creepy vocal snippets. Haunting stuff! Watch out for the album coming July 4th exclusive to Juno, with all other stores following on the 19th.
