HES022 sees Hessle Audio co-owner Pearson Sound, aka David Kennedy, return to the label. The 3 tracks represent a new phase for the producer, stripping back many of the sonic characteristics of his recent music and looking towards the broken, cyclical rhythms of instrumental grime.

Pre-order - Commodo - Buckwild - Deep Medi - www.catapult.co.uk  HERE

With every release we see Commodo develop and evolve his sound. This single is no different, Buckwild kicks off immediately with its densely layered percussion, off-beat drums and twisted flow, add to that Commodo’s dark funk, warped rhythms and low end bass weight, giving us a unique slice of Dubstep for the mind, chest and feet.

There's been a recent resurgence of the deep and dark "foundation sounds". No one is building made-for-system music quite like Kaiju; arguably two of the finest producers in the 140bpm space.

The results of a true culture clash, 'Mala in Cuba' marries the intricate rhythms and deep, spiritual roots of Cuba with Mala's own roots in South London and his dedication to bass culture. Travelling to Havana with DJ / broadcaster / record collector Gilles Peterson and fellow producer Simbad in 2011 - where they were recordingsessions for Gilles's 'Havana Cultura: The Search Continues' album at Abdala Studios - Mala installed himself in a small studio across the corridor from the main hub. With a constant stream of gifted local musicians and vocalists passing through, from diva Danay Suarez to the legendary percussionist Changuito and acclaimed pianist Roberto Fonseca, this was a true journey of discovery for everyone concerned. Mala is universally respected as an innovator and leader not only within the global dubstep movement but also within the broader electronic realm.

Pre-Order - FIS - Duckdive EP on Samurai Red Seal www.catapult.co.uk HERE
And so we present the first solo music adventures from Fis. A Wellington, New Zealand native bred on a healthy diet of musical discovery and deep research into the deconstruction of rhythmic templates. His music has created it's own universe rumbling just outside any genre it comes close to. After passing a CD early in his musical development to Presha in the Samurai Record Store, Fis has gone on to develop a style that has caught the ear of names like dBridge, ASC, Synkro, Consequence, Loxy, Indigo, Ulrich Schnauss and Resident Advisor. RA were so dazzled by what they heard in an introductory mix from Fis on dBridge's Rinse FM Show they sought him out and featured him in a 'Breaking Through' article - http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1580. This piece served as a powerful warning to the world of what was on the horizon, and could very well be the only interview with Fisfor some time. The first musical release from Fis came via 2 collaborations with New Zealand's Tokyo Prose on the first ever Samurai Horo 10" (Samurai Horo001) but this will be his first solo release. We are very proud to present this, the 'Duckdive' EP as a considered introduction to a world that needs another true artist with an unconventional and totally individual approach. We will leave the adjective adventures to the professional wordsmiths, it's obvious this music is furtive ground for lengthy discussion which we look forward to as the rest of the world discovers these magical creations. Watch for a 6 track EP from Fis on Exit Records to follow and much much more from this exciting musical creator.

Another month and yet another heavyweight release from the Critical Music powerhouse, this time a mixed up limited release from some very special artists indeed. Digging in the Critical crates, label boss Kasra has enlisted the help of two new wave makers to rework a couple of classics from the vaults. The results – impeccable as always and ultra obscene! First up Foreign Concept swoops in to offer his take on Spectrasoul’s computer future ‘Organiser’. Keeping the robo-vox, Foreign Concept builds some hefty half-time breaks around the vicious undulating b-line that works its way deep into the mix with twists and chopped up fx at every turn. Does serious damage when stepped to so beware! Critical’s newest arrival to the fold, Emperor, then turns on his controls and flips in one hell of a crunching remix of Enei’s ‘Once Chance’. Industrial pads, echoed vocals and sirens make way for a rolling break intertwined with some gnarly tech-bass and a smattering of crispy percussion. Watch for the intricate edits, Emperor will have you begging for more by the end of it. A mighty showing from a future talent not to be reckoned with.
