Experimental halftime riddims from [[-CRBRL-CTS-]] (we’re assuming that’s pronounced Cerebral Cuts…) in our premiere spotlight today! Heavy kicks, skittering percussion, sub weight and creepy atmospheres…this one is moody as it comes. Watch out for this coming June 1st exclusively at Bandcamp.

Double Helix delivers the latest in the T3Knology EP series and we’re hyped to present the premiere of title track Endurance! Combining the sound design and bassline savagery of neuro with the rhythm of dark, tribal halftime, this one is definitely not your usual roller…wicked tune. Look for the EP at Beatport May 29th.
The Dreamers return with a new VA LP entitled Rem Phase, and this time they’re turning their attention to bassy halftime swagger, as you can hear in our exclusive from Litothekid! Room shaking low end and hip-hop style beats punctuated by a smattering of breakbeat skittering; sickness…look for this coming May 6th at the usual stores.
Murky halftime vibrations on today’s exclusive as Liepzig’s Dark Drum&Bass Convention launch their first release as a label! Heatwave is among a spread of talented producers delivering material for the Assembly compilation LP, and Anchor 9 delivers his trademark driving, industrial edged sound full of creepy atmospherics and rumbling low end. Wicked tune; look out for the LP coming on vinyl and digital from May 18th.
Fuj and Kit Curse join forces on today’s exclusive, delivering a deep slice of atmospheric halftime for stalwart US label Onset Audio. Driving percussion, weighty sub and eerie melodic touches define a proper head nodder…dark and moody, just how we like it. Look out for this coming May 17th at all the usual stores.
The Dojo podcast reaches it’s thirtieth instalment! 95 minutes of fresh music with Hex at the controls as always; this month we’ve got rolling tech from the likes of Wreckless and Signal, a bumper halftime section with new material from Greazus, Blockdata and K2T, liquid from Basic Biology and Dan Guidance, and tons more besides! There are also unheard dubs from Spokesmen and Jayrola so keep your ears peeled for those…

Samsara Beats return with their second VA compilation and as you’d expect it’s stuffed full of halftime bass pressure, not least today’s exclusive from New Zealand’s Paige Julia! Throbbing synth oscillations and chunky breakbeat drums; this one is a serious head nodder. Watch out for the LP dropping April 29th at Bandcamp!
US experimental beatsmith Calculon is in our mix series hotseat today, serving up a wicked selection of raved up halftime, footwork infused bangers and jungle-tinged melters. Dancefloor flavours and all sorts of wickedness, plus watch out for beats from the man himself including his new single with Dave Owen & Jaybee which is out now on None60.

Greazus gear up to release their debut album via their very own Aufect imprint and naturally we had to jump on an exclusive! Roadtrip Riddim sees the Canadian duo teaming up with Danish beatsmith Shield for a typically wonky slice of halftime “hybrid bass” as they like to call it; swung beats, hypnotic melody and hefty low end movement. Sick one! Watch out for the full album (which is a treat) coming tomorrow via Bandcamp…
