As May draws to a close it’s that time for us to round up our five favourite finds of the month. This month we’ve got two very distinct takes on DnB, a producer disregarding genre lines, some killer West coast bass, and an under-radar talent crafting vibrant future beats. There’s a little something for everyone, so dive in and get…

laxcity hasn’t been missing out on anything lately. In the recent months he has collected a performance at the spectacular second edition of Secret Sky, a Brownies & Lemonade Beat Smash battle, a music video and, last but not least, a massive collab with Moore Kismet. To crown this excellent moment, what was missing was just a little bit of…

If you ever played Unreal Tournament, you’ve surely spent countless hours inside the iconic Facing Worlds map, probably one of the most insane and at the same time genius arenas ever designed in a videogame. If you’re not familiar, it’s not difficult to keep up. The location consists of just an asteroid and two towers, each belonging to a different…

In the best scenario, the label in question has diligently created its own playlist, and that was it. Easy game.

Laxcity is not an artist known for collaborations. By memory, I can recall just three examples before ‘Fluorish,’ all in collaboration with Rohaan. If you don’t remember at least one, well you need to take some bass history classes. I’m obviously referring to ‘First Of Many‘, released on Jadu Dala in 2017. A groundbreaking tune that definitely created some buzz…

Now now, looks like we have one of the anthems of the coming summer here, don’t we? I know it may seem bold from me to predict that a garage track will become everyone’s soundtrack but hey, you don’t need to be familiar with the genre to appreciate this single. Good music is good music, end of discussion. This new…

Of all the labels (not genre-specific) that sooner or later have started including wave in their catalog, Electric Hawk is the one that in my opinion has managed to keep a solid standard since the very beginning. With compilations, singles and EPs, they’ve pretty much always provided vibes perfectly in line with my taste and, not of secondary importance, they…

October 20, 2017. The date of my 22nd birthday but, more importantly, the beginning of my affair with UK garage. When Conducta took control of the decks at the annual OWSLA showcase at ADE, he showed me that there was an awesome unexplored world that was waiting for me. It’s not that I wasn’t aware of the existence of the…
