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!

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.

GoToBeat Secures investment to redefine Live Music Ecosystem
7 May 2024 - Grahame Farmer
Concert promoter and platform, Gotobeat, secures investment to redefine the live music ecosystem using AI and Data.
 Gotobeat describes itself as the “next-generation concert promoter” and uses proprietary technology to predict the demand of emerging artists, putting them in the right venue at the right time to deliver sold-out shows. As well as promoting shows in-house, Gotobeat partners up with existing concert promoters to power their events, manage and promote them on their behalf.
Currently focusing on concerts ranging from 100 to 1,500 capacity venues, Gotobeat has sold over 30,000 tickets in 2023 for events organized through its platform in London and more recently has worked with artists such as Marina Satti (Greece representative at Eurovision 2024), Ladaniva, Hannah Grace, Now Ex, expanding outside of the capital.
“We are excited to enter this new phase of growth and bring our unique approach to more and more venues and artists, developing and empowering the next generation of global superstars. We are a concert promoter from the outside, but inside we are embracing technology to deliver more value to artists and venues and drastically increase the chances of selling out shows”.

Max Busin, Founder of Gotobeat, says,



With only 41% of capacity filled per event, the live music industry in the UK is facing a growing challenge. Gotobeat wants to address this exact issue. Its centralised concert promotion platform allows Gotobeat to work faster than a traditional concert promoter, taking on more emerging artists and increasing the number of gigs organised per venue. AI and Data are used to recognise patterns, help curate the right lineup and sell more tickets, bringing digitalisation into the otherwise very traditional live music ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to be supporting Max Busin and Gotobeat as they address the overarching challenge of the live music industry, selling out shows. We are pleased to have led this pre-seed investment round, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey”.
After co-founding Blasting News and scaling it to over 100M users, Max Busin successfully went on to co-founding a hospitality business in Venice before launching Gotobeat in London. The round was led by Velocity Capital. Raj Saxena, CEO of Velocity Capital Advisors, comments,

These experiences stirred within him a profound passion for music, propelling him towards a desire to immerse himself further by stepping behind the decks.
Fast forward to 2024, and Bailz’s musical odyssey reached an exhilarating milestone as he graced the decks for his debut performance at the renowned Orange Rooms in Southampton. The venue, steeped in the lore of unforgettable nights and pulsating beats, provided the perfect backdrop for Bailz to unleash his sonic vision upon a captivated audience. With the crowd’s enthusiasm fueling his adrenaline, Bailz delivered an extended 3-hour set, weaving through a tapestry of beats and basslines that kept the dancefloor ablaze with energy.
But this was just the beginning. With his debut performance leaving an indelible mark on himself and his audience, Bailz now sets his sights on an exciting trajectory, poised to leave an even greater imprint on the Drum & Bass scene. As the year unfolds, anticipate encountering Bailz at pivotal events across the circuit, his magnetic presence igniting dancefloors and uniting crowds in the euphoria of collective sonic exploration.
Yet, Bailz’s ambitions extend beyond the realm of DJing alone. With a fervent dedication to honing his craft, he is embarking on a journey into the world of music production, sculpting sounds and melodies that resonate with his distinct artistic vision. Plans for his releases simmer on the horizon, poised to unleash a wave of sonic innovation that will further solidify Bailz’s place within the ever-evolving landscape of Drum & Bass.
Bailz joins our Renegade Riddims series with an eclectic mix, encompassing almost every corner of Drum & Bass. His mix features music from artists such as Noisia, Chase & Status, Serial Killaz, Tsuki, Sub Focus, Mampi Swift, Serum & Dr. Meaker, Ed Solo, Kleu, Euphonique & Killamanjaro and loads more!

Q&A:
Sum up this mix in 10 words…
Euphoric, Hardcore, Ragga, Groovy, Soulful, Filthy, Aggressive, Summer, Good vibes.
What’s your personal favourite track on it?
My personal favourite track in the entire mix and of all time in fact would have to be Sientello by Camo & Krooked & Mefjus. The reason for this is I have never heard a track that gives me such chills every single time I hear it, it fills me with feelings such as euphoria, nostalgia and just sends me to a place that no other track does. 
What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
The special ingredient in this mix is definitely a mix between jump up drum & bass, and ragga / jungle dnb. This sort of style is what I feel expresses the music I genuinely love and wish to produce in the near future.
What have you got coming up?
The next thing I have coming up is DnB Allstars in Portugal which saying I am excited for is a massive understatement.
When was the last time you actually raved?
The last time I properly raved was when A.M.C put on his Adrenaline show in Troxy in March.
And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?
Always do things that make you genuinely happy. There is a lot of negatives in life but what makes you a strong person is taking something positive out of the negatives. If you ever feel down always do the things that make you happiest in life, such as for me it’s always been music due to it filling me with life and giving me that extra boost when it is needed.

Roger Johnson RIP – DMC pays homage to our first ever World Champion
6 May 2024 - Dan Prince
Some of the key strengths of any DJ’s armour is bravado, their confidence and showmanship. Back in 1985 however one particular DJ was not feeling his usual strength as he prepared to take part in the first ever DMC World DJ Championship in London. “He was hesitant to say the least” recalls Roger Johnson’s lifelong friend Troy Harewood, Founder of the UK Hip Hop Museum. “In fact, it was a friend and Roger’s wife who actually entered him to take […]
