On the Edge records are proud to present the repressing of the stone cold classic ‘St Martin / Tension’ from one of the label’s most celebrated artists, Djrum. The original pressing was only Djrum’s second release, back in 2010 and he has since become one of the UK’s most influential producers and DJs.
Produced in 2009 entirely from samples, a wide range of influences are elegantly explored across the record. Dub, Techno, and garage tropes from the post-dubstep era meet more esoteric sounds from jazz, modern classical, and avantgarde music.
'St Martin’ on the A Side is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. Clocking almost 10 minutes, it’s a journey of sounds produced and arranged to the highest order. The sub bass is bursting through the low end, giving warmth and power to balance the delicate percussion and blissful melodics. On the flip is ‘Tension’: another classic Djrum track that runs over 8 and a half minutes of impressive production continuing a similar linage as ‘St Martin’, only with an eerier atmosphere and that all important Djrum trail of thought that is placed somewhere far from this earth.
Djrum’s music has since been released on a variety of prominent labels, ranging from R&S and Illian Tape to Samurai and Ninja Tune.
This repress comes for the first time with a full artwork sleeve. Designed by Greek/Spanish artist Sofia Lambrou, the beautiful presentation elevates the record to the minimal psychedelic majesty it deserves.
Sekret Chadow returns with his flow to let us savor 4 powerful Funky Breaks tracks.
We start this EP with «The Secret Agent» a magnificent unreleased track in the purest 007 style… he is Bond…. Secret Bond. We enter the deepest neighborhoods of Miami and it seems that we are living a real chase movie with «Moonshine» a real madness what goes through the head of this artist.
We turn this record around and continue our journey to the golden state of California with "Don't be afraid" it's impossible not to rock the dance floor with this track breaker... Don't be afraid, show how you know how to dance
After a long journey through the musical world we ended up with this «Paco Paco» in Bollullos del Condado Paco... Paco... this track perhaps better known to many as "Tribalizmo" and recently released in digital format by the Elektroshok Records label, authentic Jamón de mono.

Here it its, our 1st reference available under the name of 'Warriors Beat' On side A we find an authentic Warrior hymn performed by producer NuBreakz, he fuses a huge bassline nad melodies with nu skool references. In the inner section we find a new track by Mr. Jose Morales previosly in the group "Sigma 7" and entitled "Unfix Beat", where we will listen to a new and powerful track loaded with vowels, sequences and recognizable rhythm changes that have always characterized them.
On the B side we find a very danceable reference called “Silence” produced by Jan-B and the duo Beat Brokers, where the base breaks through atmospheres and sequences in the purest “Southern Break” style. To end this album and put the icing on the cake, in the inner section is the remix made by the American producer Johnny Cage to the classic track "Up To no Good", giving that american touch to a track that stands out for its acidic sequences and party rhythms that we have all enjoyed more than once and now we will have them in physical format.

Here we are again with a second great release. A various artists track compilation to break the dancefloor. Top quality music carried out by the hands of: Sekret Chadow, Khoiser, Under Break & Luis Pitti. Mastering & lacquer By Simon Davey- The Exchange Vinyl. Made in Holland.
Introducing Tread Records, a fresh new imprint from London. Taking the reins for the debut release is the unique Guava, whose previous releases on labels such as R&S and Holding Hands, has made him one of the big names to watch in the leftfield electronic world. Collaborating on the release are two of London’s finest session guitarists, Alex Blake and Leo Abrahams. Their impressive CVs include work with artists such as Jon Hopkins and Skepta, respectively. Things open up with ‘In Cloud’, a blissed-out slab of broken techno, spaced out with guitar riffs played by Blake. Both ‘Libelle’ and ‘Equinox Meaning’ continue on this theme with a cut of bass weight with more silky guitar, performed by Abrahams, on the latter. Dublin-based Sputnik One is on remix duties, turning ‘Libelle’ into a beefed-up club weapon fit for any sound system.
"How does it feel to reminisce? That was something I wanted to try to capture in soundwaves. I tend to reminisce a lot. About the good and bad parts in the past, and everything in between. I try to remember which specific parts in my life made me who I am today. Thinking about those events is going to make me feel a certain way, and i wanted to try to convert these feelings into songs.
Reminiscing to me, is also a very visual experience in my head. So I decided to take sounds that were close to me from the past and make something cinematic that still works as a full song. I've been using a lot of granulated sounds, which is almost like a shattered memory reconstructed into a new one, as your feelings can change recovering the same memory. So you can close your eyes and go on your own reminiscing journey, discovering loads of layers weaved through these soundwaves." - Sam A La Bamalot
MINUIT [minwee] are an electronic female-fronted three-piece from New Zealand, who's angular alternative breakbeat is fast catching on.
Just back from their second European tour, Minuit is fronted by the utterly gorgeous Ruth Carr. Bandmates Ryan Beehre and Paul Dodge deliver their breakbeat arsenal with blistering basslines made of steel, underpinned by Ruth’s beautifully written and delivered vocals.
Room Full features a remix by Finland’s finest, Rico Tubbs aka DJ Infekto, plus Minuit’s own FunknSloCuts presents his version on the flipside.
Call it what you like -but you'll be humming to Minuit again before too long ... if not moshing up the front at their next gig!

Space. An infinity of possibilities to be explored. A potential refuge for future generations as our selfish and gluttonous society continues to indulge, expand and consume our current world?
Who gives a shit.
That was just a faux-portentous, melodramatic and somewhat tenuously referencing attempt to grab your attention on account of Purple City Soufflé’s maiden voyage coming hot ‘n’ fresh out the kitchen courtesy of Brighton based Space Cadet and all round lovely chap Etch.
The EP is called the Cosmic B-Boy EP. So you see? There’s that tenuous link we mentioned earlier.
We won’t bother going overboard on the wanky track descriptions like most labels either as the audio is attached to this very press release (provided our PR girl isn’t being a complete wastewomman) but basically it’s six slices of some of the freshest, most psychedelic hip-hop out there at present, taking in influences as broad reaching and downright cutting edge as Kool Keith in his Doctor Octagon guise, Lil Flip in his bog standard stoned southern drawl and substandard lyric guise and Nigella Lawson in her Goddess who could quite realistically find a way to make you want to genuinely wank over a meat hammer guise.
The Cosmic B-Boy EP is suitable for both boys and girls. It is 100% organic, free range, has zero carbon footprint and sees Etch branch out into previously uncharted sonic territory (we could probably crowbar another space exploration / final frontier reference in there if we weren’t writing this whilst trying to microwave a pastie.)
It’s available on all half-decent streaming services and digital download (boring) or available on delicious purple vinyl with fully illustrated sleeves courtesy of the Burma Shave Construction Co. (Well good)
Kobe JT showcases his sonic malleability on TINWHITE011: a tight 4-track EP which guides its listener assertively around the scene-defining avenues of UKG, from melodic garage house to dark two-step swings.
Blissful piano chords, vocal chops and skipping house rhythm imbue the opening track, "All I Do" with a soulful, uplifting groove. Equally as driven by melody, "Next DJ" makes room for more dynamic lower-ends as Kobe teams up with Northern force, The Phat Controlla, to deliver a club-ready speed garage banger.
The record's second half exposes the darker underbelly of Kobe's sound: hostile sub groans shade the stripped-back stepper "Lost In The Club" whilst the fragmented vocals on "Hope" lends the EP's full-bodied closer with an uneasy intensity.
Time Is Now White Vol.11 drops February 11th via Time Is Now.
A future proofed masterpiece of hybrid rhythms, basslines and metallic funk created on a MPC3000 and recorded as live jams over many studio sessions in the Witness Rooms, Scotland.
The recipe is futuristic but the main ingredients come from the UK with subtle tastes of the West Coast and Detroit. This new LP holds off the retro rave appeal keeping this record placed well into the years ahead.
The Sell_By_Date LP, is undeniably Landstrumm laced with his signature sound and vibe.
Double Vinyl and Digital release with 3 bonus tracks.
It's been a few years since Gemmy returned with a release, but he's back in business with a brand new 12 on Infernal Sounds. Entering the imprint on the milestone 30th release, this is a record of pure character and old-school licks that you'd be more than accustomed to if you've listened to the purple-laced producer in previous years. 'Irreversible Culture' kicks things off with a rough and tough low end kick and step, layering that ultimate groove and steppers delight. 'Destination' opens up the B-Side business, taking the direction a little lighter with nimble percussion, progressive mid-range tones, elevating you higher with a playful drum-pattern and vocal-snip mastery. RSD comes bounding in on the B2 remix of 'Irreversible Culture', showing just why he's one of the most lauded producers around, still to this day. The veteran takes the original track and spins it into a deep, dark 2-step roller, giving you those minimal and garage style undertones on the low-end driver. The release has already received heavy support from the likes of Bandulu Gang (Hi5Ghost, Boofy, Kahn & Neek), Joker, Neffa-T and many more reputable DJs.
A pair of tunes that sit at an interesting place in the history of dub reflective arts. Conceived and released in the post-Burial Mix vacuum, but prior to the modern alliance of Dub Techno with true Dubstep. In short, a record that would be seen as the moment of that sea change had it not been so underground.
Short lived collab between 6Blocc, LA’s reigning king of the Jungle, and U-Ome (Aka Eddie Funkster of Mo’Funk fame). Two cuts of fierce Roots-n-Riddim Dubstep.
South3rn opens the vault with “Fully Loaded": Spooky in an Upsetter vs. The Vampire way with a reverb drenched, echo heavy skank. `Muslim Dub` is pure string steppiness with lush, clean riffing & toasting.
Longtime Bass providers D-Operation Drop join Navy Cut for NC017. This 3-track EP from the Italian producers is packed with Bass, sub energy, detailed mids & crisp highs.
BONUS DIGITAL TRACK “Monojoe” for vinyl purchasers. Email: label@navycut.co.uk
Breaka’s come a long way since he first turned heads in 2018 with shivering bass anthem ‘Rory’s Theme’. After releasing further records on Holding Hands and other labels, he also kicked off his own eponymous label, and held down remix duties for Interplanetary Criminal and Kelly Lee Owens. Now, his musical curiosity gets the spotlight with self-released debut LP ‘We Move.’
Made on a laptop and midi keyboard during the winter of 20/21, the album clearly goes out to the club: singles ‘Mass Gathering’ and ‘Solaria’ earned attention from DJs like Anz, Call Super, and Om Unit, while also doing the rounds on NTS, Rinse FM, and the BBC, as well as featuring on BBC essential ‘Mix of the Year’ by Elkka. Tracks such as ‘Look Inside’ and ‘Solaria’ navigate themes of reflection and isolation, while numbers ‘We Move’, ‘Honeydrum’ and ‘Baile Steppa’ work genres like UK funky, trance, kuduro, and samba together into new forms. Whether considering the dance from a distance or toying with new ideas of what the dance can be, ‘We Move’ is a confident statement of intent, showcasing Breaka’s love for explorations across the electronic axis.

Al Wootton presents the second part of a trilogy, following on from the Maenads EP, of sparse, percussive techno drawing influences from UK Garage and Dub. Heavily textured and weighty music for dancefloors and forest floors.
The follow-up compilation from the 10-year celebration back in 2017 continues along with the same energy that Smokin' Sessions are so well known for, offering floaty and uplifting productions with detailed beat work, along with that all-important heavy serving of lower frequencies.
We hear some absolute classics from names such as Djrum, Geode, Versa & Rowl, Escapism Refuge, Occult, Mercy, and some newcomers to the label in the form of Marenn Sukie & Synpal. There are 5 exclusive, unreleased tracks in total. 2 stunners from Synkro, 1 from Biome, and another 2 from Synpal. Some seriously impressive productions throughout.
The lineage takes us right back to early works, right up until the present day, and showcases some phenomenal music. Its unmistakably Smokin' Sessions and the tracks selected are some of the finest offerings the label has released over its extensive history.
For this incredible Vinyl sampler we hear the 2 exclusive tracks from Synkro ‘Intersection’ & ‘Movere’, Biome’s track ‘Tired’ and a previous gem titled ‘Reiki’ from Synpal.
One of the all-time great hubs of soundsystem culture and musical free-thinking, it was only a matter of time before Bristol had DNO Records in its grasp. A quadruple threat from the city’s Young Echo collective members, rappers Manonmars and Bogues join forces with revered producers Ishan Sound and Neek on the ‘Burning Paper’ EP, broadening the expansive horizons of DNO further still.
This time, the dish of the day is experimental rap four ways. Opener ‘Cool Runnings’ finds Ishan Sound and Neek on an upfront tip, strapping titanium beats to unruly 808 low-end that leans towards the signature slides of drill. With the battleground set, Manonmars flexes cut-throat bars, switching up to double time for the final coup de grâce.
On ‘Nuke The Threat’, Ishan Sound slows the pace, bringing in eerie chimes that tumble forth behind Manonmars methodical slur, while ‘Skinhead Chick’ — a four-way bout — continues to drop the tempo, descending from weed-induce fuzz into full codeine blur. Here, both MCs’ pitched-down vocals form a layer of sludge around sparse, creeping hats — it’s uncomfortably dark and evil but oh-so addictive.
Final masterpiece cut ‘Burning Paper’ is not so much chopped and screwed as plunged and drowned. An Ishan Sound & Neek beat gurgles below the surface as Bogues and Manomars deliver lyrical craftsmanship and precise bars on smoking, the grind and girls amidst a haze of bong rips and horrorcore weirdness. The first DNO release that primed for home-listening release as well as doing damage over a system, the ‘Burning Paper’ EP is out on the 25th of February 2022.
Rhythms of postmodern realism at the very bottom of the DNO.
