AutomAte return after a bit of a hiatus with an absolute thumper of a tune! Label regular Deficit is on remix duties, flipping round Deficit’s 2014 halftime grumbler Eternum into a rolling tech nasty with an infectious lead hook and that trademark Wreckless “breaks and atmos” vibe. Dangerous! Look for this at all good digital stores Sept 24th…
Hathor is the latest to land on Lossless Music’s Exkursions sub label and we’ve got the premiere of EP title track Lurker for you today. Teaming up with Sotus in the studio, the duo crafted a fine slice of dark breakbeat exploration…channelling the jungle sound for 2019. Hit up the label Bandcamp to grab this one right now, with full release following from Sep 13th.
Wreckless lands on Addictive Behaviour with a wicked new EP this month so naturally we had to grab an exclusive…the man himself has a few words for us on the track which provide some insight into its creation to boot. Check that out below and watch out for the release dropping Aug 5th at Beatport.
‘Disco Dub’ is a homage to old pirate radio and the synths in house music. A friend of mine from uni used to make the most awesome house music in the room above mine, it was honestly incredible. This track is just trying to get those house music sounds from a decade previous into a D&B arrangement. The whole tune sounds really old, the breaks all rattle, and the resonances are harsh, most of the synths are recorded as live jams and this gives it the loose, older style feeling for me. Long live MIDI.
Serene, melodic jungle from Rainforest on today’s exclusive! Love the vibes on this, seriously lush and deeper than the average. Look out for the release coming July 13th at all the usual outlets…and you can also grab Citrus Ridge for free right now via Hypeedit!
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!
Jungle selections on our latest exclusive mix as Leeds producer Solo takes the controls! Plenty of the man’s own dubs inside the ride, plus cuts from J Majik, OneMind, Coco Bryce, Acid Lab and more…if you like chopped breaks then this will definitely be up your alley.

Halogen Music x Samurai Breaks…can’t argue when one of our favourite artists releases on one of our favourite labels can you? Breakbeat jungle badness is the order of the day here, keeping it crispy with some tasty vocal chops and infectious siren hooks maintaining the temperature. Yes yes! This one drops May 27th at all the usual stores.
We’ve hyped to have a premiere for you today from the UVB-76 stable as they present the fourth outing on their DROOGS imprint. Holsten delivers the A side, transitioning from ominous soundscapes on the intro to a fearsome assault of chopped breaks and weighty sub. Doom and bass anyone? The single drops May 17th; pre-orders are up now on Bandcamp.
We’ve got a very special premiere from Detached Audio boss K2T today as he unveils the first Sampler EP from his forthcoming debut LP for the label! The Sanctuary’s Kingdom combines Karan’s love of old school tinged breakbeats with his talent for emotive melody and compositional depth, for a track that is mysterious and uplifting in equal measure. We can’t wait to hear the rest of the album…but in the meantime you can grab the Elder Spirit EP on Mar 29th.
All profits from the release will go to the charity Help Musicians UK which provides grants and support for musicians, including running the enormously important Music Minds Matter project to support musicians’ mental health. Great music for a great cause…get to know.
UK producer Samurai Breaks crosses the water to land on US imprint Samsara Beats for a top new EP this month, and we’re hyped to bring you the exclusive on chaotic jungle cut Retroflex.
