Allied returns to Methlab with the second single from his forthcoming Kailash LP and we’ve got the exclusive on techno infused rumbler HMDRM. Characterised by heavy kicks, intricate hats and throbbing low end, think Berlin at 5am morphed into 170BPM. This one is out now at all good digital outlets.

Today’s premiere comes from what may well be the last Alexvnder release, as the producer prepares to retire the moniker and move on to other projects. He’s prepared a more than appropriate swansong though, with a full length LP of liquid delights for Glitch Audio, and we’re extremely pleased to have the exclusive on LP opener Holding You! Channelling the influence of acts like Seba and Blu Mar Ten into a beautiful roller led by piano and jungle-tinged breaks, this one is sultry, sublime and smooth as butter. Look for the release coming August 30th at all the usual stores…
Talkre delivers a rather exceptional EP for Dispatch early next month, and we’re hyped to have an exclusive for you today! Definitely the EP’s softest track, but still displaying the majestic synth work which characterises the release as a whole, Colours is a sublime, sensual roller with a laid-back vibe; sci-fi liquid a-la classics like Chris SU’s Solaris. Look for the EP coming Sep 9th, be sure to buy direct to get Colours too as it’s a Dispatch Store exclusive.
Monika lands on None60 with more of deep, rolling, hypnotic style…one of our favourite producers continuing to deliver the goods! Hit up their Bandcamp to grab this from tomorrow.
Our latest mix guest is an artist we’ve admired for some time now; hailing from Hawaii and a regular contributor of releases to Detached Audio, we’re excited to welcome Option to the Dojo decks! As you’d expect from the man’s productions, the focus here is on soulful liquid rollers and emotional drum and bass, and we think you’ll agree it delivers in spades. Check it out, and keep your ears peeled for some unreleased music from the man himself.

Our latest guest mix comes from up and coming producer Accelerated! Hailing from Buenos Aires in Argentina, the 23 year old has already scored releases on Warm Ears Music and Soul Deep, and found support on Drum & Bass Arena; expect big things from him over the coming months! For his Dojo mix he’s assembled a deep, rolling selection, taking in moody tech and rich liquid from the likes of Monty, Whychek, Alix Perez and Kove, plus of course some unreleased business from his own archive. Top selections!

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.
Another deep flex from Ortem on today’s exclusive as they gear up to drop a new EP from Spinnet. Normal Curve blends a variety of influences from the worlds of electro and IDM for a gloriously expansive journey through soaring leads and squelching synth bass, set to a backbone of ever-so-slightly glitchy D&B percussion. Wicked tune! Watch out for the release coming 2nd August exclusively on Bandcamp; other stores follow on the 16th.
Europe might be in the grip of a heatwave but that’s not gonna stop the monthly injection of D&B from Dojo HQ!

Check it!
