Renegade Riddims: Cynical Gene
17 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Cynical Gene, whose real name is Craig Winney, kicked off his DJ career at the young age of 15 and quickly figured out this was his calling. Originally from Brighton but now relocated, he spent a decade spinning tracks before diving into production. Over the years, he’s steadily perfected his craft, developing a unique sound in the darker, rolling Drum & Bass scene.
His journey to date has been pretty impressive. He’s supported legends like Randall, Dillinja, and Audio, DJing across six different countries. Cynical Gene has released tracks on notable labels like Deeper DNB, Grand Theft Audio, Locked Up Music, Yamatai Records, and Abyssal Music​ (Beatport)​​ (Best Drum and Bass)​. Notable collaborations include the tracks ‘Baba Yaga / Disposal’ with Lavance and Scepticz, released by Midas Touch Recordings​ (Beatport)​. Additionally, his solo project ‘Energy Flash’ was released on Modular Carnage Recordings​ (Volumo)​, and his EP ‘Memoires of Mr Blue’ dropped on May 17, 2024​ (Volumo)​.
Beyond the studio, he’s known for electrifying live sets that keep the crowd hooked from start to finish. With more releases lined up for the rest of 2024, Cynical Gene is just getting started. Keep an ear out, because there’s plenty more to come!
Today, he joins our Renegade Riddims series with a brand new mix which is dark and rolling from strat to finish. It features a load of music by himself and also artists such as Leks, Kalane, Brain, Koax, Melysma, Yannons, DLR, Jam Thieves, Gifta & Xyde & Vispera, Ill Truth and loads more!

GREG (BR) & Pitros combine on Repopulate Mars
17 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
GREG (BR) & Pitros combine on Repopulate Mars for ‘Hand Clap’. The two-track EP comes on Lee Foss’ unstoppable imprint this Spring.
Rising up from the hotbed of talent coming out of Brazil, GREG (BR) and Pitros have chalked up individual appearances on labels like Hellbent, Nervous, Encasa, and Mood Child before now teaming up on Repopulate Mars for the first time across the heavy-hitting ‘Hand Clap’ EP.





[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQqbrgbKI3w?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]




The title track ‘Hand Clap’ is a razor-sharp cut with heavy, reverberating house kicks powering along the muscular groove. Fiery vocal stabs bring some rawness as the drums roll on and ensure maximum dance floor destruction. GREG (BR) then goes it solo for ‘Lonely Girl’, delivering a weighty tech house groove with all-consuming bass, rowdy FX and a trippy female vocal up top to round out this most excellent of physical workouts.
GREG (BR) & Pitros ‘Hand Clap’ EP drops via Repopulate Mars on 17th May 2024.

Rob Vice joins the Spotlight Mix Series
15 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Hailing from Estonia, Rob Vice emerges as a dynamic force in the global house music scene, infusing his tracks with South American rhythms and a soulful touch.
Rob’s earliest musical influences came from playing GTA Vice City and San Andreas and being completely hooked on the music showcased on those in-game radio stations. GTA Vice City in particular also influenced the creation of the Rob Vice alias, which combines an Americanized version of his real name (Roman) and the Vice City thematic.
In 2013, Rob started producing his own music, but in a fast-paced world of Drum&Bass. What initially started out as a mere pastime progressed into a desire to bring something fresh to the scene. So in 2020 – being influenced by artists such as Mark Knight, Rene Amesz and Ferreck Dawn – he made the switch to house music with the intent of creating groovy and high-energy house music with a soulful touch.
His music is often characterized by groovy basslines, distinct percussion and high-energy rhythms – a killer combination to make any dancefloor shake. Another key component of his sound is a memorable and upbeat melodic hook that is often composed of natural instruments – such as the timeless piano, trumpet and guitar.
Rob’s global presence skyrocketed in 2023, with his Vice City radio show and DJ mixes gaining over 10K subscribers and 2M views on YouTube in just one year. His collaboration with SSOL, “El Canto,” amassed over 100M social media views and nearly a million streams to date. Supported by esteemed artists such as CID, Andruss, and Kryder, Rob is set to expand his reach further in 2024 with a packed release schedule and a debut EP.
Outside of music, Rob has been involved in the startups and tech sector and he loves to work on innovative ideas and technologies. In high school, he also used to be a big chemistry nerd and has placed high on various chemistry olympiads and competitions. And even though it may present a facade of seriousness, then in reality Rob has always had a soft spot for good memes and video games.
We asked Rob to drop on the Spotlight mix today, check it out below and grab it here.

KNARS Ready to Drop Hard-Hitting Politically-Charged D&B Anthem ‘Tear It All Down’
15 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Check out the latest from KNARS, the groundbreaking Dutch electronic music powerhouse! Their newest single, ‘Tear it All Down,’ is dropping on Friday 17th May. Dive into this critical Drum & Bass anthem that delves deep into the flaws of capitalist systems and social injustices.
Drawing inspiration from real-world events like police brutality in the U.S. and the ongoing crisis in Palestine, ‘Tear it All Down’ fearlessly tackles themes of greed and corruption. KNARS brings raw energy and unapologetic defiance, delivering a rebellious outcry against injustice.
Martijn Holtslag fronts KNARS, bringing together fierce vocals, aggressive synths, and thought-provoking music videos. Hailing from Deventer, Netherlands, they burst onto the scene in 2017 with bass-driven hits like ‘Bad Trip’ and ‘Fuckup,’ later exploring deeper and more introspective themes. Their explosive live shows have earned them international acclaim, with appearances at major festivals and nods from music blogs. Notably, their track ‘Push it To the Limit’ was featured in the Borderlands 3 trailer, racking up 5 million views, and their music has been synced with Netflix originals. Martijn’s resilience in the face of adversity, as seen in the ‘Fuckup’ video after a public altercation, underscores KNARS’ commitment to authenticity and standing up against hate.
What really makes KNARS stand out isn’t just their message—it’s their music. They blend classic Gabber style with pulsating breakbeats and intense reese basses, capturing the relentless nature of the daily grind. And that iconic ‘hoover’ sound from Dutch Gabber culture? It gives the track a unique edge that’s sure to make it unforgettable.
Accompanying the single is a music video that drives home the urgency of KNARS’ message. Through captivating imagery and visceral storytelling, KNARS invites viewers to confront harsh realities and join the fight for a fairer world.
As KNARS gears up to release ‘Tear it All Down’, they’re calling on listeners to stand up against oppression and work towards a future where every voice matters.
Check out our premiere of ‘Ter It All Down’ below. The single drops this Friday, make sure you bag yourself a copy from here!
