"Fantastic Ambient Drum & Bass research & development by dream team DB1, Felix K & Forest Drive West" - 2026 Repress

AMAZING new 12" from GLA legends Conal Blake & Murray Collier - Huge tip!

A project meant to explore the space between 3-step, Gqom, the dark sides of Amapiano, and mutations of Pritori rap deeply rooted in Black African rave music from the local scenes of Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and their global mutations from Brazil and the Netherlands. 

Leo's third album proper, the record follows a run of infamous deployments for Manchester's YOUTH and Tom Boogizm's $hotta Tapes that have already established him as a skilled sound designer who's able to bolt from spiky hardcore to Drexciyan techno without breaking a sweat.

Bot1500 on Short Span

Detroit's Gary Martin linking with youANDMe and our man DJ 3000 on Teknotika.

12 tracks unearthed from cult Scottish figure Jesse Rae’s completely overlooked back catalogue.Deep cuts that span G-funk, hip-hop, house, synth-pop, electro, dub, downtempo, funk/soul featuring appearances from Rae’s heavyweight list of frequent collaborators… Bernie Worrell, Adrian Sherwood and Jimmy Douglass.

Tonegues is best seen through the lens of a beat-tape, with the playful flow and variety that the format provides, bursting with oddball ideas and punctuated with intangible vocal samples. Much like the LP’s beguiling, hand-drawn artwork by Wolfgang Matuschek, it is a glimpse into an inner world, a portal to somewhere uncanny and strange borne through imagination.  

Interpreting the consonances between so-called “ambient” music and extreme heavy metal. It's an act of sonic sleight of hand that feels fittingly disorienting. Heavy doesn't need to be deafening.

Shoegaze haze, dub weight, and slow-burn psychedelia.
