Hugo Massien - Astral Waves
Hugo Massien is a synthesizer engineer at Novation with high profile singles on XL Recordings and a stellar 2021 album, "Metamorphosis”, which caught the ear of Claude VonStroke. He is a fixture in the sets of Roman Flugel, TEED, and Ben UFO to name a few. We are more than thrilled to welcome him to the Dirtybird white label series with “Fast Forward”. Hugo delivers four vinyl gems— from the melodic break of "Fast Foward”, to the dream state mood of “Dynamic Symmetry”, the lo-fi bass of “Quantum Mechanics”, and sublime “Astral State”.

* With a number of high profile releases already behind him for labels including the legendary XL Recordings and Dusky's 17 Steps imprint, Hugo Massien has carved a sound for himself that sees him bring together elements from house, techno, dubstep and hardcore, all combining force to produce this killer 4-track EP, running at the techno-friendly tempos of around 128bpm.
* 'Advanced Aerial Threat' kicks things off with a fractured half-step rhythm that gives more than a nod to his formative years as a fan of the early UK dubstep movement. Stark, deadly and meticulously constructed, the rhythm taps a pace as wild bass stabs rip across a theatre of sound.
* Next up is the delightful melancholy of 'Ursa Minor' which takes a rolling breakbeat as its backbone before a Reese-like bassline emerges from beneath, rising and empowering. An intimate piano line comes in, providing an introspec-tive element, balancing the otherwise rave-savvy ingredients in place.
* 'Candy Flip' takes things into a more electro direction, providing a reliable work out for the dance floor as the tightly tuned drums and bass hold down the spooky synth stabs.
* Last up, closing the EP is 'Divisions From The Start' where once again we see Hugo's intuitive sense of soundscape grandure, creating a kaleidoscope of moods all strung together with precision drum programming and heavyweight sub work.
* DJ Support from: Shed, Loefah, Pinch & many more.

hugo massien - Messier
Exploring the hidden crevices between the hardcore continuum, muscular house and vintage techno, Hugo Massien delivers four tracks that crackle with energy and intensity on the ‘Ghost Note EP’ - released December 5 on Dusky’s 17 Steps. Having previously contributed EPs to the legendary XL Records and DJ Haus’ E-Beamz, Hugo’s unique sound has won him fans as diverse as Roman Flügel, Shed, Bicep, Annie Mac, Batu, Maya Jane Coles and, of course, Dusky themselves, who previously signed his ‘Restart The Sun’ to last year’s Floor To Floor compilation. A sign of Hugo’s instinctive knack for genre mutation, ‘Ghost Note’ signals a clinical groove hybrid of rolling jungle breaks and cyborg acid fire. Contrasting the breakbeat vibes with a stripped back techno surge, ‘Speak To Silence’ pulses with industrial soundscapes and clipped acid oscillations. Elsewhere the broken beat cinematics of ‘Broke The Cycle’ provide a more meditative excursion that blends rave motifs with classic ambient references, whilst the Transmit-nodding ‘Messier 77’ closes the EP out with vintage Detroit vibes.

Intergalactic space cowboy LakeHaze otherwise known as Gonçalo Salgado has been exploring the territories that can only be described as otherworldly in one form or another since his inaugural release on Unknown to the Unknown way back in 2013.
Think Legowelt jamming with early 90’s “Selected Ambient” era-Aphex Twin. Expect menacing ruffneck electro coupled with introspective space-infected arpeggios built to transport the listener to an alternative, but ultimately bliss dimension. A proper long-player in an era of short attention spans and streaming algorithms. Join us on the journey and embrace the opportunity to get completely fucking lost. More

Settle Down - No Shoes On The Carpet
Part 2 of the Settle Down debut on E-Beamz with 2 tracks connecting the dots beween the eras of UK club music history.
The clattering drums & undulating bassline of 'Sniper' give way to warping mentasms that evoke memories of some of the earliest strains of dance music from acid house to jungle tekno and hardcore.
'No Shoes on The Carpet' speeds things up and doffs it's cap to the ragga jungle of the mid 90's as well as the first strain of what would become drum & bass with the deep, diving bassline recalling classics from the Philly Blunt & V Recs back catalogues.
This is no holds barred dancefloor weaponry of the highest calibre. More

Settle Down - Sub Bias
From the ashes of revered drum & bass project Ulterior Motive rises the phoenix of Settle Down, the new solo moniker for Greg Hepworth. He takes things back to where it all began, channeling the rude spirit of early jungle for his debut single on E-Beamz.
What is Real, a collaboration with FD, is the classic combo of jittery breaks and warm, rumbling sub bass. Throw in some dub sirens and sweet female vocal cuts and you have a tried and tested recipe for some dancefloor delight - horns crew!
'Sub Bias' is a more sinister affair with the reverbed snare rolls blending with a deep, drone bassline and menacing, gutteral stabs. More

DJ Decay - Seethe Mode
Mutant rave soundscapes, scattering drums breaks & pounding kicks combine to create an EP chock full of hard hitting energy for DJ Decay's first solo outing on E-Beamz, after his appearance on the Continuum-z compilation.
'Rinse in Brie', glistening with menace, threatens to explode in a flurry of hard techno kicks and hats but rolls into scattering amens that glide across the thunderous bass tones as it weaves it's way to a folornly euphoric ending, whilst Tuna Mup pairs lo-fi funk breaks with soft pad swells and eerie atmospheres.
The b side is more traditonal, harder Techno. 'Hope Diffusion' takes the old funk of the a2 and pins it to a whirlwind of kicks and snares while the intimadting reese of 'Seethe Mode' gives way to more playful trace synths as the track progresses. More
