Dr Woe lays down an old school dancefloor banger for today’s premiere; heavy hitting 2-step drums, dark stabs and reese growls a plenty on a track that harks back to the dark tech stylings of the mid 2000s. Dangerous tune! Look for this coming Feb 22nd via Insomnius Music…

Premiere: Sicknote – Heat
In Reach Records return with their second release and this time they’ve recruited Sicknote to provide the beats.

Look out for this coming early March at all the usual outlets…
Premiere: Phonograph – Heatwave
Phonograph brings a wicked roller to Hyperactivity Music for today’s exclusive. Taken from their second Polychrome compilation LP, Heatwave blends the rough with the smooth, floaty melodic elements sitting above modulated techstep bass and weighty breaks. Sick tune! Look for this coming Feb 15th at all the usual outlets…
Premiere: MISO – The Pact
Today’s premiere sees MISO landing on Modular Carnage with a forward thinking slice of techstep. Powered along by finely crafted sound design, pulsating sub bass and punchy drums, The Pact is a perfect balance of dancefloor chops and sonic detail. Look out for this one coming Feb 22nd at all the usual outlets…

Muffler – Composer [Muffler Music]
When it comes to legends of the D&B scene, there are fewer more unsung (or at least under-sung) than Muffler. Producing since the tender age of nine and releasing music for nearly twenty years, Muffler has notched up releases with Spearhead, Hospital, Moving Shadow, DSCI4 and dozens more, flying the flag for Finland with a wicked cross-section of tracks that span the spectrum from dark to light and hard to soft.
Just before Christmas he dropped his fifth album, launching new imprint Muffler Music into the bargain, and we’re extremely pleased to report that it’s full of the sort of high class, emotional music that has made Muffler a Dojo favourite ever since we heard his 2003 Sounds of the Future LP.
The first few tracks of the album are an absolute treat for anyone who likes a charged piano roller, with Heavy Heart and Composer both standing out as masterclasses in key-work. Zürich Jungle lives up to it’s name with a nod to the more break-focussed style of days gone by, while Dark Funk and Low Frequency show that Konsta still knows how to lay down dark club bangers with ease.
While it might not be pushing too many envelopes, Composer is a love letter to the classic D&B form, and one penned by a supremely talented producer at that. Check out the clips below and hit up your favourite outlet to grab a copy right now.

Premiere: Immersion – Soundscape
Impact Music return next month with a new single from up and coming German producer Immersion, and we’ve got the exclusive on Soundscape! Combining high tech sound design with a more relaxed take on the neurofunk aesthetic, this is futuristic, funky and full of groove. Watch out for the single coming 8th Feb at Juno with all other platforms following on Feb 22nd.
