Tracks You May Have Missed

With a career founded in 2005, Birmingham’s Emalkay remains one of the greatest early influences to dubstep. Wielding irreproachable basslines, precise laser-like synths, and definitive percussion, the veteran UK-producer tactfully preserves a sense of nostalgia for the evolution of bass music within his music. Following the release of Emalkay’s Reworked EP at the end of last month, which revisits and…

Pham is one of the many artists that came up during the golden days of SoundCloud and earned widespread acclaim for his innovative sound. From captivating originals to infectious remixes, the Polish producer quickly became a fan favourite within the trap and future bass realms. It has been over a year since any new material was released from the talented…

Last week Zeds Dead released an incredible remix for Billie Ellish. The track combined her haunting aura with their signature dark and dirty dubstep sound. The track instantly took fans back to Zeds Dead’s early days and had me going through their old catalogue. Anytime I find myself drifting through classic Zeds Dead nostalgia I’m instantly pulled to put on…

Unleashed from captivity on Halloween of 2015, ‘Lurid’ depicts the earliest spice and flare of South Jersey’s Charlie Quigley in the days when the forward-thinking, boundary-shattering DIGITAL ETHOS project was just beginning to take shape. Still one of my favorite ETHOS tracks to-date, ‘Lurid’ utilizes a mesmerizing introduction equipped with tight-wound percussion and firm bass notes to build a sense…

As the profound epilogue of The Ineffable Truth tour reaches finality, it only seemed fitting to unearth a preceding antiquity from the extensive arsenal of releases G Jones has to offer over the course of his nearly decade-long dynasty. His first ever vinyl release, ‘Ghetto Bird’ with doshy predates the bulk of G Jones releases but deserves just as much…

Released as a component of the SOUNDASLEEP Collective’s debut compilation nearly 4 years ago, ‘Pillow Talk’ is an uptempo sonata composed of heartfelt synth melodies and squeaky clean production that is sure to tickle your fancy. Composing a majestic future bass fabric, VALENTINE slowly peels back layer-by-layer as the depth of the track continues to reveal itself. An energetic vocal…

An unanticipated clash of genres, seeing Carmack, Smoko Ono and SD teamed up on a track nearly gave me whiplash. While at first glance the combination can seem a bit off-putting, a thorough listen to the tune confirms that this remix simply wouldn’t be the same without each contributing member. Raw, casually delivered verses from SD provide the perfect minimal…

With rumours swirling of a possible TNGHT reunion, I thought what better time than to pick a TNGHT classic for our Tracks You May Have Missed segment. Hudson Mohawke and Lunice’s collaborative project helped to define trap music and their records still go as hard today, as they did over 6 years ago. Today we’re going to showcase ‘Top Floor,’…

This year has been quite the treat for sound design aficionados as it has seen both Space Laces and KOAN Sound return to releasing flawless projects. Another producer known for his impeccable engineering and genre-defying work, but also for his infrequent releases, is the legendary Moody Good. From his 2015 hit ‘Hotplate’ to his ‘Music To Go F*ck Yourself To’…

London based production genius and sound design pioneer OZZIE has managed to avoid the direct spotlight of the music industry, even despite noteworthy contributions to the foundation and evolution of the minimalist style of ‘UK trap’. An arsenal of solo releases nearly bursting at the seams paved the way for the first official album release from the Brighton-native in June…
