The Break upKode9
Steve Goodman, aka Kode9—the founder of the long-running label Hyperdub, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2020, and a pioneer active since the formative days of dubstep—has announced that his new album Escapology will be released in July 2022, roughly seven years after his previous work.
The track Torus is slated for inclusion on the album.
While evoking elements of UK-style bass music, dubstep, and garage, its meticulously engineered electronic sound carries the distinctive touch of a seasoned veteran.
Understand feat. Brendan Yates(TURNSTILE)Mall Grab
Born in 1994 and originally from Australia, popular producer Mall Grab is now based in London and making waves.
He’s garnered major attention with the announcement that his long-awaited debut album, What I Breathe, is slated for release in August 2022.
This article focuses on Understand, the lead single from that album.
The track features Brendan Yates, vocalist of Turnstile—the cutting-edge, next-generation hardcore band from Baltimore—and fuses UK-centric beats like garage, grime, and jungle with hardcore elements to create a fresh new sound.
It’s a must-listen not only for techno fans but also for those interested in indie rock and post-hardcore.
LaurenOden & Fatzo
Hearing the bassline—arguably the star of the track—and the languid female vocals without even looking at the title, anyone into not just techno but also indie rock will likely crack a grin.
Lauren by Oden & Fatzo, key artists on the buzzworthy French label Increase The Groove Records, is an edit of a song released in 2017 by the popular Canadian indie-pop act Men I Trust.
They nudge the BPM up from the more laid-back original while keeping the mellow vibe intact rather than going for sheer drive—a perfectly judged balance.
The original bassline already carries a distinctly contemporary funkiness, making this a highly recommended cut for both house fans and indie rock lovers.
The G.O.A.T.Oliver Heldens & Mesto
A new track, “The G.O.A.T.,” by Rotterdam-born DJ Oliver Heldens—often credited as one of the creators of the future house boom—and Mesto, who has performed alongside numerous top DJs.
When people think of future house, many imagine light, airy melodies.
This work, however, differs from that basic future house style, featuring a weighty, solid melody and structure that convey a sense of heft.
