Drumsauw & Unknown Code return to Ilario Alicante’s Virgo label with ‘Unfuture’ EP
8 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Italian artist Christian Rossi, aka Unknown Code, and UK mainstay Drumsauw last appeared on Virgo back in October with their well-crafted ‘Berliner’ EP. It took them to new heights and received plenty of support from key tastemakers such as Laurent Garnier, Rodhad, Marcel Dettmann, Radio Slave, and DJ Bone. 
Before that, Rossi was already respected around Europe for his sleek techno sound on the likes of Planet Rhythm and for being a resident of the Roman crew Traumers. Meanwhile, Drumsauw has also made his mark and topped Beatport charts with tunes for On Edge Society, AnalyticTrail and more, and the pair’s return brings another quality combination of their styles on Ilario Alicante‘s techno-focused label.
Opener ‘Unfuture’ mixes physical drums with atmospheric pads and distant vocals, with a surging warmth to the fizzing pads that help move things onward. ‘Can You Hear’ gets more raw and rusty with textured hi-hats and thudding kicks, all working you into a state of mediation while hammering hits and freaky vocals elevate it above mere tool status. 
Next, ‘Illusions’ brings synth pulses that convey paranoid energy over the rolling linear beats before ‘Motion’ serves up raved-up stabs and oversized hi-hats that wash over the dancefloor in waves of urgent techno that cannot fail to make a mark.
Drumsauw & Unknown Code’s Unfuture EP lands on Virgo on 10th May 2024.
We premiere ‘Unfuture’ on NUDE Techno today, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.

Renegade Riddims: Jimmy Knees
8 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Meet Jimmy Knees, the renowned DJ and producer from Oxford, celebrated for his smooth Liquid Drum & Bass tracks released on labels like C Recordings and FX909 Music. His popular tunes ‘Possibilities’, ‘Lilibet’, and ‘Blue’ have garnered widespread acclaim. There’s plenty more to come as Jimmy’s cooking up some fresh tracks for us all, dropping soon on Lizplay and Grand Theft Audio in the next couple of months.
With a solid following in the liquid scene, Jimmy’s live performances across the UK and Europe exude laid-back energy, drawing enthusiastic crowds.
Make sure you tune in to his monthly radio show, Liquid Assets, on Different Drumz Radio, where he showcases unreleased dubs, new releases, and classic tracks. Past shows and live mixes are available on his SoundCloud page.
Looking ahead to 2024, Jimmy’s gearing up to launch a new night in Oxford called DoubleDown, aiming to spotlight both seasoned pros and fresh talent in the local scene. With more tricks up his sleeve, Jimmy Knees is quietly carving out a rep as your go-to DJ for consistent, feel-good vibes. So, if you’re all about those techy, smooth liquid beats, keep your eyes peeled for Jimmy — he’s just getting started.
Today Jimmy joins our Renegade Riddims series with a fresh new mix perfect for the glorious weather we are finally enjoying! The mix features music from artists such as himself, Kasra, Subrix, Cybin, Calibre, Mystific and more!
Check out the mix below and download it for free here!
Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
Deep, Techy, Liquid, Vocal, Soulful, Moody, Rolling, Drum, And , Bass
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Hard to choose a favourite but I’m really feeling Pachamama at the moment. Archangel is such a wicked producer and I regularly include his tracks on my Liquid Assets radio show
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
I’m not sure about any special ingredient but I mix in a way I like to hear mixes. Long melodic mixes on 3 decks that mean there’s nearly always 2 tracks playing. I like to hear a track play and not chop around too much or too quickly which I think works well for the liquid end of the DnB spectrum. 

Tell us about your next EP…
Rome Fall was released on Lizplay Records on Friday (3rd) and I’ve got a track on a compilation on Grand Theft Audio coming in June called Radical Sound. That’s a slightly different vibe and gonna be interesting to see how that is received. 
What have you got coming up?
I’m playing at The Sunday Social in Sheffield next weekend at The Glass Frog and Wobz in Reading are getting me down for a liquid special on the 28th which im looking forward to as I know they put on great parties. 

When was the last time you actually raved?
Haha, this weekend at DoubleDown in Oxford alongside LSB & DRS on Saturday. To be honest I can’t see a time I’m not still raving, life is short, live it. 
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
If you’re feeling the mix check out my Liquid Assets radio show archives on my SoundCloud. 2 hours each month of the music that I love and I’m proper proud of each and every one of them. Even better tune in live 6-8pm first Friday of each month www.differentdrumz.co.uk

Barbara and Ed Hoffman combine on ‘My Best Friend’
8 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Barbara and Ed Hoffman’s tech house with a twist of electro-funk anthem about BFFs – Best Friends who together can rave and rage and do it all with effortless style and class. 
The Good Crazy debut from the dynamic duo of Barbara and Ed Hoffman – who has already made a splash with their infectious “Feet Money” (Dirtybird) and “Hey Gurl Hey” (Data Transmission).
From Barbara – “My Best Friend” is inspired by my actual best friend, Simone. We met each other years ago when I DJ’ed her birthday that she shared with a friend of ours in Barcelona. We didn’t know then just how close we would become. Mindchatter brought us back together years later and then after we burned together we knew we’d be sisters for life. I can be a lot and she jokes that I’m her wife, firstborn and BFF. 
Simone even inspired the name of my new label on Paradise Worldwide, Good Crazy, because together we’re unhinged. In fact, I don’t have too many people in my close circle who are “hinged” and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 
I’m pretty sure “My Best Friend” producer Ed Hoffman would agree which made him the perfect collaborator on this track. Simone and I have grown so much together through our friendship and really are blossoming into the best versions of ourselves. I’m a better person and kinder to myself because she’s in my life. 
And fun fact, she can not only rave and rage but she is incredibly smart. She’s an animal ophthalmologist—a veterinarian who specializes in treating eye disorders! Get you a bff who can do it all and with effortless style and class.”
We premiere ‘My Best Friend’ on Data Transmission today, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.

Subdue Audio set to drop their 1st compilation ‘SUB:CULTURE VOL.1 (VA)’
8 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Subdue Audio are just about ready to drop their first Various Artists compilation entitled ‘SUB:CULTURE VOL.1 (VA)‘, and it’s a game-changer. With a lineup boasting 8 fresh talents, this release is the label’s boldest move yet. Spanning 13 tracks, it’s a sonic journey for anyone who lives for those BPMs above 170.
This VA dives deep into the roots of the genre, serving up a mix of classic Jungle vibes and contemporary twists. Che Mac‘s ‘Jungle Music’ kicks things off with thunderous amens and booming 808s, while Sordid Affair‘s ‘Leaving’ takes a more cerebral approach with processed vocals and ethereal samples.
But it’s not all about nostalgia—Vansnatch‘s ‘Into You’ blurs the lines between Jungle and Drum & Bass, layering desire-filled vocals over syncopated beats and a saturated bassline. And that’s just the beginning.
Minimalism is the name of the game for six other tracks on the release. Empt brings distorted bass and moody arpeggios to the table, while Gengs serves up a stripped-back banger with ‘Concentrate’. O/MEGA‘s ‘Elucidate’ dives deep into animated basslines and pitched vocal chops, showcasing Subdue Audio’s commitment to pushing boundaries.
And let’s not forget the nods to Jump Up’s rich history. Laney‘s ‘Ina Fiya’ channels classic vibes from the late ’90s Bristol scene, while TLZ (UK) injects a dose of minimal energy into ‘Back Again’.
But it’s not all about the beats—two liquid tracks offer a moment of reflection. Edan & Berrow‘s ‘Always Tired’ pairs graceful piano chords with a deep bassline, while ZER0STRATEGY‘s ‘No More Time To Waste’ closes out the release with glistening vocals and distorted organ arpeggios.
In short, Subdue Audio’s first VA is a testament to the label’s commitment to diversity and innovation. With tracks spanning the spectrum from Jungle to Liquid, it’s a promising glimpse into the future of electronic music.
Today we premiere Che Mac ‘Jungle Music’ which you can check out below. Subdue Audio drop their SUB:CULTURE VOL.1 (VA) on Friday 17th May. You can get your hands on a copy here!

8 May 2024 - Shelley Dodds
Check out the latest offering from Ominous! Following the resounding success of his ‘Mutation’ EP last year, Ominous returns to Phase Records DNB with his new ‘Break It’ EP, a valuable addition to the label’s catalogue.
Hailing from Scotland, Ominous showcases the evolution of his sound across four tracks, seamlessly blending tech, neuro, and jump-up influences into a captivating sonic journey. This EP marks a significant advancement in his artistry, with each track designed to captivate audiences and serve as an essential tool for DJs worldwide.
The opening track, ‘Break It’, exudes an assertive energy reminiscent of neurofunk styles, setting a powerful tone for the EP. ‘Get Down’ follows suit with its tech-driven minimalism, enriched by intricate drum work and dynamic transitions. ‘Conclusion’ maintains the EP’s tech-infused atmosphere while introducing a playful element, making it a standout selection. Closing the project, ‘Print Error’ infuses jump-up elements, offering a spirited conclusion to Ominous’ triumphant return.
Ominous exemplifies the distinctive sound that defines Phase Records DNB: dark, innovative, and inherently unique. Phase Records DNB label head honcho Gifta tells us “We absolutely love Liam and are proud to have him back!“

NUDE · 179. Fernando LagrecaSum up this podcast in 10 words…
A sunday exploration into the peak techno universe with some of my favs tracks from 2024 so far.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
Drulez – Boreal
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
I played several of these tracks on a recent tour in India. It was a fantastic tour in which I’ve met new cities and new people, so when I was recording this set at my studio, it was inevitable to remember a bit of that ‘spicey’ taste of the recent tour.
Tell us about your next EP?
I am working in an album now, to be released late this year, just released a track on Pedro Mercado’s Chrom Recordings imprint, which received good exposure on Beatport, getting high charts positions on Indie Dance, but now a bit more focused on the upcoming album, that will be a sort of mix between techno, indie-dance, electronica and pop.
What have you got coming up? 
May is a full month, with several shows in Germany, including two shows in Berlin, a participation in the Berlin Dance Music Event conferences as panelist, and preparing a bit for June which is a very busy month in our home Barcelona due to Sonar and Off Week, plus upcoming presentations in Spain and both North and SouthAmerica, as well as more Germany shows and then after the Summer, again to ADE.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Just keep enjoying music, don’t forget to follow the artists you like and give them support as much as possible and say thanks to all the producers, musicians and DJ who create such as beautiful tunes that inspire us and of course keep reading all the media outlets that support and spread that work, making the grounds for letting our industry keep rolling and in a good shape.

Kruger (UK) announces his ‘The Pariah’ EP
7 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
 Digital Fragments is thrilled to announce the release of the latest single from Kruger (UK), “The Pariah,” available everywhere from 10th May 2024. 
Hailing from London, UK, Kruger (UK) is no stranger to the techno scene. His unique approach to the genre has garnered him a dedicated following and critical acclaim. Having graced iconic venues such as Ministry of Sound, as well as prestigious festivals like Tomorrowland, Kruger’s reputation as a formidable force in the underground techno scene continues to grow. 
Kruger (UK), a rising star in the techno scene, is set to make waves with his new single, “The Pariah.” Drawing inspiration from the likes of Kobosil, Wanderlust, and O.B.I, Kruger (UK) has crafted a sound that is both familiar and distinctly his own. 
With previous EPs soaring to the number one position on Beatport and receiving support from industry heavyweights like Electric Indigo, Slam, Airod, and Paula Temple, “The Pariah” EP is set to further solidify Kruger’s status as one of techno’s rising stars. 
“The Pariah is a reflection of my journey in the techno scene. It’s raw, it’s intense, and it’s a true representation of who I am as an artist. I’m excited for everyone to hear it.” 

In the artist’s own words, 



Recorded in East London, “The Pariah” EP showcases Kruger’s prowess in crafting dark, immersive techno. The title track, “The Pariah,” kicks off with a cinematic introduction, enveloping listeners in a world of ominous sounds before building to a crescendo of hard kicks and dark synths. 
On the flip side, “E1 Raving” delivers a relentless assault of hard percussions and a menacing atmosphere, plunging listeners into a visceral techno journey from start to finish. 
We premiere ‘E1 Raving’ on NUDE Techno, check it out here and grab it on Beatport.
