We’re back with US posse Free Love Digi for today’s exclusive as we present a cut from the brand new DLX EP Ain’t It Funky. Harnessing crazy drum patterns, a hint of jungle and some serious exuberance, Predator Dance Battle Party is exactly as whimsical and chaotic as the title suggests, and so so good for that vibe! Check it out and watch for the whole EP hitting digital stores later today.
Our latest exclusive comes from midlands producer Scartip as he lands on Tsunami Bass Weight with a sick new EP that’s already garnered support from the mighty Noisia! Disbelief brings together monstrous neurofunk basslines with a stomping halftime drum riddim and a bag full of swagger; robotic, lurchingly swung and absolutely deadly. Watch out for this one dropping very soon via the TBW Bandcamp.
Our latest premiere comes from the fine folks at RUA Sound as they present their fourth release from London producer Touchy Subject. EP opener Synchronisation blends elements of dub, halftime D&B and footwork for a big bassy head-nodder with more than a touch of soundsystem culture flowing through its sonic veins! Check it out below and watch out for the Skyward EP dropping June 2nd at all good stores…
The Dojo Mix Series reaches its 50th instalment this month as we welcome Kiwi producer InDifferent to the decks!

Genre-bending vibes on today’s exclusive as we present a cut from Defrostatica’s brand new Rogue Style EP from HomeSick! Celebrating the crossover between hip-hop, footwork and D&B, Mass Appeal lurches along to a fantastic swung beat as chops, slaps and snares rain down around soft, bleepy melodies. Futuristic and retro all at once, this is that crossover sound at it’s best; look for this alongside new beats from Sinistarr, Kiat and Kabuki from May 19th.
We’ve got another exclusive from Neve’s The Dreamers imprint today as Corrupted lands on the label with more of his infectious blend of footwork-influenced D&B. Holdin’ On sees the Antwerp producer teaming up with fellow Belgian beatsmith J. Nomad for a wicked slice of slow/fast drum syncopations; footwork, hip-hop and D&B elements collide for a potent sonic brew that’s sure to move a few dancefloors. Look for this one on the Bussaback EP at all good digital stores from April 26th!
Saint Petersburg producer Bop has always trodden his own path; his style of minimal, glitched up drum & bass has spawned it’s own sub-genre title which he’s gleefully adopted for his collaboration with Oak and his new label. With 10 years of productions under his belt, microfunk is here to stay, and enjoying rude success via his platform at the ever impressive Med School.
Hospital’s experimental sister imprint plays host to Bop’s latest creations in the form of the coyly named Not Your Cup Of Tea EP, and said creations sound as fresh and varied as ever. From the angular drive of An Order to the airy melodies yet toothy bass of So Unloved, through the space-funk and techno influences of Untitled Pattern 47, and finishing up with the gleeful bassline riddims and rolling beat structure of Space To Breath, the EP is sheer class from start to finish.
Anile steps up on remix duties for the digital bonus with a more traditional D&B take on An Order, but honestly it struggles to shine a candle to the original’s innovation and flair. Bop remains a man with a plan and a very unique style, and it remains very much our cup of tea here at Dojo HQ. Check out the clips below and hit up the Hospital Store to grab the EP on digital now; vinyl pre-orders are available via the Microfunk Music bandcamp and are expected to ship at the end of April.
Something a bit unusual today as we present the premiere of Raven’s brand new track for Phantom Others, Kept Relic. Full of odd effects, alien sounding synth swells and expansive basslines, the effect of this track’s many layers is truly hypnotic. Check it out and look for the release dropping April 7th!
Our exclusive today comes in the form of experimental business from Formatz for Tsunami Bass Weight! Heavy duty filtered basslines, glitched-up rhythms and madcap percussion a plenty; utter madness. Look out for this coming on the Maega Morphin EP very soon…
