J Plates and Marc:One are in the Dojo spotlight today with a wicked slice of dubbed up 170 business, all tape echo, dub guitar and spaced out vibe. Look for this coming Aug 3rd via the J Plates Bandcamp!

Premiere: Conrad Subs – Paradise
Conrad Subs returns with the second release for his new ‘Deep Pan’ imprint and this one is a proper percussion workout. Metallic snare tones, chopped amen interludes and an earworming hook make for a deadly combo; wicked work from a prolific producer! Look for this one landing July 30th at all the usual stores.
Q&A: Quentin Hiatus
We’re massive fans of Quentin Hiatus here at DNB Dojo so news of his second full length LP was music to our ears, if you’ll forgive the pun. To celebrate the impending release of Acceptance we caught up with Quentin for a chat about the writing process, labels, influences and more…check it out below, and be sure to peep our premiere of album track Tisno as well!
Premiere: MYKOOL – Blackwater
Liquid with an edge on today’s premiere from up and coming London producer MYKOOL! Blending soulful elements with sharp breaks and growling bass, this is deep yet rugged…delicious. Watch out for the release coming July 17th at digital stores.
Premiere: RDG & DubApe – Decoy
Premiere: Javano – Southbound
Javano lands in our premiere spotlight today with a deep, moving slice of leftfield 170 business. Undoubtedly influenced by the now decade-old Autonomic movement, Southbound is an exploration of unusual rhythms and cinematic soundscapes; the string section in the bridge is just blissful. Look out for this one dropping July 10th via Javano’s Brackwood Audio imprint.
Premiere: Droma – Stranger (Kalm & Spindall Remix)
Techstep danger on today’s premiere! Nurtured Beatz bosses Kalm & Spindall take on Droma’s Stranger, flipping the skittering percussion of the original into a tight, rolling groove primed for the dancefloor. Look out for this one coming alongside five brand new Droma cuts from July 17th!
Exclusive: K2T & Hex – Embers
Detached Audio boss K2T teams up with Dojo’s very own Hex for our latest exclusive free download! Bringing together soft melodic flourishes, warm bass and rolling breaks, Embers is a deep liquid jam perfect for cool summer evenings. Check it out below and hit up HypeEdit to grab the track!
Premiere: Redpine & Solo – Time 4 Change
Redpine & Solo land in our premiere spotlight today with a dark jungle smasher called Time 4 Change. Opening up with ominous sub weight and skittering hats laid under a hefty ragga vocal calling for equality of rights, the track then drops into some serious break chopping business. Hard! Cop the EP via Studio Rockers from Jun 26th; pre-orders are up at Bandcamp now.
Premiere: Droptek – Bloodline (Madster Remix)
Madster lands in our premiere spotlight today with a cracking new remix for Droptek! Twisting up the funk laden halftime of the original into a tight stepper, this one is all staccato rhythms and playful drums including some fantastic 4/4 switchups. Deadly. Look out for this coming alongside a grip of other remixes from Droptek’s Symbiosis LP via Korsakov Music from July 3rd.
