Two of Detached Audio’s most prominent artists join forces on today’s premiere. Taken from K2T & Option’s collaborative Lush Life EP, Icicular Paths goes deep with low sub, sharp stepping breaks and an appropriately frosty atmosphere. Winter vibes for your summer! Look for this dropping July 27th at all the usual digital outlets.
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…
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…
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.

UK producer Grey Code is in our premiere spotlight today with an absolutely beautiful slice of hard hitting D&B for Dispatch Recordings. Building with epic synth melodies on the intro before a solid backbone of growling tech bass and crisp drums land down with a punch, this one is that perfect balance of light and dark. Wicked tune; hit up the Dispatch Bandcamp to grab the EP right now.
Today’s exclusive comes from the Dojo boss Hex himself, with a new track for Detached Audio. This Snare brings together bright rhodes chords, soft pads, deep sub and natural drums for a jazzy liquid take on the somewhat forgotten drumfunk sound. Watch out for this one coming June 29th on the Delta 002 EP; pre-orders up now!
Old school break chopping vibes in our premiere spotlight! Taken from the new 36 Hertz Recordings Back To The Bass Volume 5 compilation, Berkshire producer Indigo Virus is on fine form for this one, combining vintage jungle breaks with deep sub hits and soft pads for a serene take on the classic D&B sound. Fans of Andyskopes, Paradox and the like should definitely check this one out…watch out for the album dropping June 25th at Bandcamp.
Phantom Others return to our premiere spotlight today as they present their seventh release from Lithuanian producer Hathor. Canal Park goes deep, with stripped back atmospherics and a tight, crispy beat; a proper sub roller! This one drops June 29th at all good digital stores…
Counterpoint continue their excellent Counter x Culture series this month with a slamming new single from Romanian beatsmith Brusten, and we’ve got the exclusive on Transvision. Keeping things dark and grimey, this one is a proper driving tech stomper, full of energy without any danger of veering into tearout territory. Sick tune! Look for this dropping June 18th at all good digital outlets.
