unknown to many. this guy flipped some classic roots gems. white label business for the 140 crew!

hot on the heels of the first new album from the last poets in over 20 years. the title track “understand what black is” gets the remix treatment from digital mystikz. dmz and deep medi legend mala and uk dance music innovators and legends dego and kaidi tatham.

with a number of high profile releases already behind him for labels including the legendary xl recordings and dusky’s 17 steps imprint. hugo massien has carved a sound for himself that sees him bring together elements from house. techno. dubstep and hardcore. all combining force to produce this killer 4-track ep. running at the techno-friendly tempos of around 128bpm.
dj support from: shed. loefah. pinch & many more.

breaking into a new century. following last months 100th release on the label. ishan sound collaborates on 2 killer tracks with bristol-based hodge and alex hughes aka muttley.
‘c5’ refers to cold explosives and makes for a perfect title for this stark. cold rhythm. a circling melodic synth line sets a moody context before the floor drops out and an industrial strength sub drives things forward at 130bpm. deep. hard. dark. original. exceptional quality from ishan sound and hodge.
flip for a 140bpm excursion from ishan sound & muttley. melding elements of trap. grime and dubstep meticulously to form an engaging sonic that is both fuel for the dancefloor as well as providing introspective qualities for bass weight meditation. ‘still smoking’ sums it up appropriately.

‘closer apart’ is the debut album by uk/south african duo okzharp and manthe ribane.

okzharp describes manthe as a ‘co-producer’. ‘she selected instrumental sketches and we developed them together. sometimes just keeping the bare bones or a melody or rhythm. or trying different elements or sounds.’

chris weeks has been building up the kingbastard catalogue for a long time now. generally taking a self-reliant approach in the underground electronica scene where cd-r releases reign supreme. hes been a key figure on ambidextrous since the label launched back in 2008. and now he s committed to wax with a range of crunched up leftfield sonics for the machine-loving crowd. anxiety is a melodic cut with a house-minded structure. but theres a lot of production acrobatics and compositional swerves taking place within this framework. scatterbrain is more overtly out there. tapping up the kind of heavily processed sounds that producers like paradroid have championed in the past. data loss strike a heavy blow somewhere between dubstep and electro. and data ctrl ups the tempo for a rabble-rousing exercise in mind-bending machine music

while quite a few people are obviously still dwelling in the achievements of munich’s disco era during the 1980s. it seems that another major part of the cities partying scene travels to the same clubs every weekend. here they are getting fed with the plasticized tech house trax that everybody wants. drinking vodka red bull until they almost pass out and walk - if they are still able to - home happily. oversaturated by non-inventive. but good selling music. so far the cliché. fortunately. reality looks a bit different. at least for the lovers of uk bass. in order to make people aware of the city’s flourishing developments in this scene. the grandmasters of ruffhouse and jahmoni records have teamed up for a limited 10”.

sascha borchardt (a.k.a monoloc) will start a label. unterland. with a new ep.
the label will serve as a vehicle through which the german producer takes a step away from the club environment by presenting new sonic interpretations. including experimental. minimalist. and atmospheric. material will come from monoloc himself and friends. and the focus will be on “dramatic” sounds with drone and noise influences. think movie soundtracks and film music. albeit with both feet planted in the electronic genre. each release will aim to “tell a story” through 8 to 10 productions.
unterland will launch in end of march 2018 with a collaborative ep by monoloc and beauty of inconsequenz. a unsearchable and unidentified project with no previous recording history. the eight tracks are all based heavily on field recordings. the sound is dark and deeply atmospheric with dubstep influences. while distanced somewhat from the 4/4 format. the tracks are cerebral and hypnotic.
from there on. there will be 3-4 releases per year. each of which will be accompanied by high quality artwork as curated by borchardt. who will work closely with selected photographers and artists to provide imagery that aesthetically compliments the music.

babe roots are a relatively young duo from turin. italy. making a unique brand of atmospheric. techno-infused dubwise. on our radar since their splendid debut 7 inch on rohs! records in early 2016. we are very pleased to invite them into the zamzam fold with two mesmerizing and contrasting tunes. * be still* is a deeply meditative yet driving dub techno trek in classic fashion. featuring rastaman kojo neatness intoning on righteous living. working the land. guarding the tongue. and avoiding babylonian schemes and traps laid by the wicked. maternal bass and shimmering reverbs envelop a heartbeat rhythm of kick. shaker and distant snares for a timeless vibe that shows mastery of the idiom while updating it for contemporary sound systems. * rawness* is an extraordinarily deep 140 journey that opens with rich pads and swirling atmospherics. creating a psychoactive ambience that builds into a steady kick. the full riddim hits and plunges us even deeper with restrained. syncopated drums and percussion. churning bass powers us through the dense. hallucinatory fog as tendrils of electricity probe and zap. and serrated snares cut through the tape haze and studio clouds in the last third. carving out a gorgeous edge between deep dubstep and dub techno. * rawness* hits all the marks and will find a home in a huge range of sets.

the bug goes head to head with burial for two bass-bin heaters that is flame 1. cementing the first release on his freshly formed label pressure. following on from the bug’s recent sidewinding 12 inches for ninja tune and a colossal album recorded with earth. fog / shrine is possibly kevin martin’s most soundsystem decimating collaboration yet. joining forces with the most elusive figure within the uk underground and hyperdub mainstay. burial. ‘fog’ rolls along at half-speed steppers tempo. submerged deep within the roots n future aesthetic of the bug’s signature beats. yet perfectly balanced by burial’s hollowed out and haunted night vision. ‘shrine’ delves deeper inwards with the beats slowed to a crawl. the bassline hanging heavy in an atmosphere thick with smoke. the vinyl comes in thick grey card discobag with download code included.
