2025 marks 20 years of Tectonic, the pioneering dubstep and electronic label founded in 2005 by Bristol's underground originator, DJ Pinch.
The Tectonic Sound compilation lays down the gauntlet for the future direction of the imprint. Split across 6 x 4-track 12"s and double CD, the compilation comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, including Re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin-Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like Om Unit, RSD, Peverelist and Kahn & Neek. It's an exhilarating 24-track journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic's sound in mind - at the intersection where dubstep and techno meet.
"More so than just the sound, the music is in tune with the real ethos of the early dubstep scene," - Label boss Pinch says: "People talk about 'heads in a scene - but it's led by hearts really. I've always tried to follow my heart when it comes to music and all the music here is from people I trust that do something worth communicating with the world. I love to watch and help artists grow just as much as I'm excited to release tracks from bigger names who are still passionate about what they do and have developed the powers and control to be able to output that effectively. It feels like Tectonic has been a part of so many communities over the years now, and that there is something that binds all the releases together, something that speaks for itself in a way that goes beyond words, something that's instinctive and immediate."
Across Tectonic's 150-strong catalogue there are seminal releases by 2562, Scientist, and Mumdance & Logos, side by side with appearances from Flying Lotus, Shed, Adrian Sherwood, Riko Dan and Photek. The label holds some of the earliest dubstep incantations of Skream, Digital Mystikz, and Joker as well as Pinch's own productions. The evolution of the Tectonic sound branches into audio explorations encompassing sub-heavy techno and grimey soundscapes alongside leftfield electronica and future-facing beats. The common thread that binds is Pinch's devotion to pushing underground music ahead of its time, always built to rattle a soundsystem.

The label holds some of the earliest dubstep incantations of Skream, Digital Mystikz, and Joker as well as Pinch's own productions. The evolution of the Tectonic sound branches into audio explorations encompassing sub-heavy techno and grimey soundscapes alongside leftfield electronica and future-facing beats. The common thread that binds is Pinch's devotion to pushing underground music ahead of its time, always built to rattle a soundsystem.

The Tectonic Sound compilation lays down the gauntlet for the future direction of the imprint. Split across 6 x 4-track 12"s, the compilation comprises many producers making their Tectonic debut, including Re:ni, Beatrice M., Yushh, Flora Yin-Wong, and Sicaria, alongside stalwarts like Om Unit, RSD, Peverelist and Kahn & Neek. It's an exhilarating 24-track journey through experimental, bass-heavy electronic music, with almost all tracks created by the artists specifically with Tectonic's sound in mind - at the intersection where dubstep and techno meet.
"More so than just the sound, the music is in tune with the real ethos of the early dubstep scene," - Label boss Pinch says: "People talk about 'heads in a scene - but it's led by hearts really. I've always tried to follow my heart when it comes to music and all the music here is from people I trust that do something worth communicating with the world. I love to watch and help artists grow just as much as I'm excited to release tracks from bigger names who are still passionate about what they do and have developed the powers and control to be able to output that effectively. It feels like Tectonic has been a part of so many communities over the years now, and that there is something that binds all the releases together, something that speaks for itself in a way that goes beyond words, something that's instinctive and immediate."

2025 marks 20 years of life for Tectonic Recordings and we are very excited to kick things off with an amazing debut album from Denver USA producer, Sectra.
Sectra's LP "Through The Static" encompasses emotional depth, sonic intensity and moments of sheer brilliance that transcend any single genre. With all the hallmarks of a truly great electronic album, it brings together Sectra's love for bass music alongside punk, drone and experimental electronica.
Each perfectly crafted track takes us on a journey - from melancholy moments like the opening track 'Glitter In The Dark', through the wild and raw collaboration with Dis Fig on 'Horrid & Dejected', to the techno-chug, 1000-mile stare of 'Entry Point' ft. Trisicloplox; the one consistent thing is an incredible and delicate manipulation of sonic texture. The creative use of distortion, crunch and crackle is the Static through which each track passes.
CD version exclusive - There is a very special bonus on the CD; when the album finishes, you will hear the static and you can begin a search for a hidden EP. There are 5 exclusive tracks bedded into the CD that can be found amongst the static. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE CD VERSION!

1. Glitter In The Dark
2. Horrid & Dejected ft. Dis Fig
3. Strength From Weakness

Sectra - Ashes

Sectra - Bedlam
Introducing USA based artist Jon Linskey aka 'Sectra' to Tectonic! With a truly unique sound, Sectra's music sits among the crushing, claustrophobic weight of Shapednoise drone spaces, the percussive dexterity of a Detroit techno wizard and summoning the power of DMZ with sub bass sonics designed to hug your ankles.
'A Demon In My View' runs at a dangerous 90bpm, a total night stalker of a beat riddled with menace and the deep stench of fear. You will be scared, but that's OK, we'll get through this. 'Counter Culture' runs at 126bpm and projects us far out into distance space for a Sci-Fi adventure to a distant galaxy with a techno shaped rocket to propel us out there (well, there's a 4/4 kick in there at least..).
Flip for 'Ashes' where we get a hint of dubstep influence melded with mangling technology and more perfectly placed sounds. Lastly we turn to 'Bedlam' which takes the pace down a few notches and we find ourselves hypnotized in a half-step, rocking gently, wrapped in a blanket, slowly shaking off the trauma.

Dance music during lockdown? Wh?t's the point?
Don't lose faith.. We will be back dancing together and when we do, you will want to hear this EP blasted out on a massive sound system, in good company. Berlin-based Aaron and Felix, aka Fjaak, have found themselves on a rapid uphill trajectory this last few years, tearing up the techno scene with their broken rhythms and massive floor fillers. With 'WH?T EP' we take things back underground, keeping in check with a darkside-son- ic familiar to Tectonic.
Lead track 'WH?T' is a brutal dancefloor track, weighted by a thundering distorted bass and skittering broken breakbeats and meticulous drum programming. Title based sample "Whaaaaaaaaaaaat" chimes in now and then to remind you what you're listening to.
Label boss Pinch is first up on remix duties, taking the 'WH?T' original and deeply upsetting it. Hard bang with some 4/4 bits and loads of distortion.
We flip then for a rare collaboration between Fjaak and Felix's brother J. Manuel (originally a founding mem- ber of Fjaak and brother of Felix), taking things into scribbly-acid territory, while keeping the mood low-slung and rolling. Dangerous beat manipulator Eric Baldwin aka Cocktail Party Effect finishes up the plate with a synapse-sizzling version backed by heavy drum programming and ankle hugging subs.
Tracklist:
A1: WH?T
A2: WH?T (Pinch Remix)

Shed - 03
René Pawlowitz presents himself in many different forms; whether it's as Head High, EQD, Wax, WK7, The Traveller or more recently as Hoover - he consistently, and without any fuss or hype - produces some of the most effective, qual-ity techno you can find on the planet. The Shed alias is usually reserved for his best work.
With this in mind, it really is a special event to announce this amazing new EP from Shed on Tectonic, showcasing 3 distinctive and highly effective techno cuts.
'Try' takes a broken-beat techno rhythm for it's spine - reminiscent a little of the 2008/9 dubstep/techno crossover peri-od. Tension is set with dissonant elements pulsing around swooping subs until we are saved by the heroic pads that ease in, building ever upwards to a lush finale. Close your eyes and be transported back to the rave.
'Box' is a darker, more percussive affair - claustrophobic and industrial. 130bpm 4/4 distorted kicks set the stage as frantic drum machine hats and claps crash about heavily reverb'ed ghostly samples.
Lastly we come to 'Sweep', a hypnotic bleepy roller with a bass heavy presence. As the riff loops up and over, drums build and a dissonant synth part creeps in. The not-quite 4/4 kick drives you ever forward with a gentle stumble as rat-tling hi hats flair about over head. Great finish to a great EP.

Lamont - "Open Letter"
Tectonic is very proud to welcome Lamont to the team!
Bristol's bendy-beats whizz kid is mainly known for dropping jaws with his releases on Swamp 81 and it's various offshoots. This time, he's been chipping away at 4 fine-cut gem, especially for Tectonic - bringing some darkside vibrations in addition to his usual bounce.
'Hold Dat' runs at 135bpm, sitting in-between grime, dubstep and housey/techno/whatever that thing Lamont usually does! Charged with a disgusting, totally greasy bassline, this one drops hard and keeps going - quality moves for (now, mostly imaginary) dancefloors.
'Push' takes it down a notch, to 130 for a more heads-y work out, laden with crackling, fizzing sonics - and heavily punctuated by sub bass hits. The energy levels step back a touch, while building intensity.
'Brain' sees Lamont working more familiar territories - sending a pounding 4/4 kick drum out to hold together a series of collapsing percussive hits and warping melodies - as a 'brain' sample, simply haunts your brain.
The EP closes off with 'Open Letter', taking things into a dread-space; dub wise, deep and dangerous. The lurching bass hits take charge and push you through layers of echo'ed hits and micro-melodramas, to round off this great EP in fine style.

On June 26th the influential Bristol figurehead Rob Ellis AKA Pinch will release his first solo album 13 years, via his own label, Tectonic.
'Reality Tunnels' is a concept that was originally introduced by Robert Anton Wilson in his 1983 book 'Prometheus Ris-ing'. In essence, the concept of a reality tunnel relates to an idea on how we create our own perspective - the subjec-tive filter that we each apply to the world around us; the things we perceive and what our consciousness deems worthy of attention, IE what we see and hear is entirely relative to what we do not.
At points angular and uncompromising with levels in the red, frequencies pushed out and EQ curves stretched into strange new shapes, Pinch mixes both low and hi fi on this boldly distinct sonic statement. It sees him flexing years of production skills - but unconventionally so - knowing well that safe predictability and rounded polish don't get the most interesting results.
Dark trip hop Bristolia segues into blistering jungle on album opener 'Entangled Particles', before planet-hopping onto the spiky insidious grimestep of 'All Man Got', featuring the rugged rasp of OG warhorse Trim.
Beginning a triptych of future techno, 'Accelerated Culture' offers the album's most relatively straightforward moment, albeit one of scorching, anthemic dancefloor heat. Delving deeper into the vortex is the synapse sparking wobbler 'Returnity', before 'Finding Space' reaches to the cosmos' far-flung, glowing outlands.
Back to an urban reality is 'Party', where a subtly menacing sense of dread is ignited by Killa P's incremental flow, which ramps-up and pairs-back the intensity in unexpected ways. Still moving freely between different realities, 'Back To Beyond' is beautiful gloaming ambience, executed with equal fine-tuned grace as the genre's masters.
Jamaican vocalist Inezi lends sweet tones to the slow burning, roots-meets-modern-bass spiritual 'Change Is A Must', and on 'Non-Terrestrial Forms' an atmospheric, misty steppers intro segues stealthily into fiercely dystopian, amen-fuelled jungle tekno; marking one of several surprise attacks on the album, where a subtle-slight-of hand shoots the intensity level dynamically up.Closing as it begins, the album is bookended by a piece that recalls the dark, intricate soundscapes of Massive Attack's 'Mezzanine' and Tricky's 'Maxinquaye' - found here in 'The Last One's scorched, smoky rocker.
Hit the vinyl double pack for an exclusive and quite unique sounding 120bpm glitchy techno roller featuring man like Trim once again and live cello recordings.

A1. Entangled Particles Feat. Emika
A2. All Man Got Feat. Trim

Walton returns to Tectonic to drop his latest EP of deadly dance floor weapons, as Tectonic sets up to celebrate being 15 years old!
With releases dropping on Illian Tape and Kaizen, Manchester's Walton is a producer in high demand for his inimita-ble style the blends grime and pirate radio aesthetics with forward-thinking dance floor sensibilities..
'Scooped' opens the EP with mood setting pads and 128bpm drums, in preparation for a gut-wrenching bass line, bringing elements of grime, dubstep and techno altogether.
Following on next is 'SBWYS'. The title references a vocal sample that decorates the rough 138bpm beats, "Sound boy watch ya space!". Point made.
'Smashed Crabs' takes a 2003-era grime style rhythmic framework and paints over hard bass sonics and laser blips at 134bpm.
Lastly, the title track 'Abyss' continues the rave lazer aesthetic and tempo of Smashed Crabs, but sending things more intergalactic in trajectory, wrapping up a great EP in fine style. Definitely a bit of something for most dancefloors, craft-ed in the way of the Walton.

This is a big release for Tectonic as label boss Pinch combines forces with Kahn to produce two killer rhythm tracks that meld deepness with futuristic dancehall powers. Normally this would be plenty to get excited about anyway - but if you then add the vocal talents of Killa P, Irah & Long Range - aka 'Killa's Army' - there is even more reason! Dubstep meets grime meets dancehall, while Bristol meets Brixton.
All three MCs in Killa's Army have their own, very distinctive but complimentary styles, bringing a hard, uncompromising vocal delivery to match Pinch & Kahn's tough beats.
Long Range opens the track and sets pace, his rapid, agile lyrical flow bouncing off the distorted thumping of a darkside 142bpm dancehall-flavoured rhythm. Killa P unleashes the chorus with full force, then setting up the next verse. Irah drops it an octave and holds the mood with his unique tone and delivery. The track pulls back then for a moment, like a filmic interlude, before the General himself, Killa P comes in to finish off anyone who might try test, like an end of level boss. 'Crossing The Line' will be rattling out of speakers for many years to come, no doubt!
Flip the vinyl over and you'll find another, instrumental track, from Pinch & Kahn. 'Send Out' is a dubstep banger that holds a deep mood whilst pushing the energy levels through the roof. A rhythm track that has been pulled up, wheeled; set dance floors ablaze with it's almost heavy-metal levels of energy. An early version of 'Send Out' originally appeared as an exclusive track on Kahn & Neek's Fabriclive mix but is now available properly for the first time.

Hailing from Cardiff, Elmono has previously released on Cold Recordings, launching the label with it's first release and following up with a twisted take on Swamp 81 style UK bass 4/4 music. His debut on Tectonic shows off a different flavour altogether, combining all the classic elements of old school UK rave music - and giving them a fresh twist. Tempos run around 128-130bpm while the mood captures the essence of 92-94, as hardcore mutated into jungle.
We kick off with 'Cooper's Dream' which filters upward from a muted position, dropping into a jungle-tech format, building up to a strange melodic bass line as we are taken further and further into the void of Cooper's hallucinogenic dream space!
'For The Future' begins with a short, gentle intro before dropping wildly out of the blue into a tearing bass drop that will rip apart the walls of any dance. Harking back to the old school ways, the track develops with sample snippets and 'ardcore synth stabs.
Flip then for 'Endorfiend' which runs with the theme of jungle/hardcore ingredients, reworked for 2019. Swooping bass hits and melodic chimes leave one foot in 1992 and the other in the here and now.
'Shermi Paradox' closes up the EP with splashing drum breaks, dissonant chords and synths, spinning acid like ele-ments alongside Detroit-esque bass patterns.

Having released 2 killer and totally unique EPs on Cold Recordings, the British-born, Berlin-based Eric Baldwin aka Cocktail Party Effect, lines up his first for Tectonic. Across these 4 dynamic 130bpm cuts, CPE demonstrates his sharp ear for creating tracks full of energising percussive twists, melding hard-charging, dynamic techno textures and while running wild with a UK sense of bass-heavy and percussive manoeuvres.

Nastia's NECHTO presents a new six-track release from DJ Dextro, including one
collaboration with Portuguese producer Cardao. The project marks Dextro’s first appearance
on the label, following years of his tracks being played by Nastia and a shared event in
Lisbon in 2023. That connection gradually turned into a conversation about releasing
something together. “It was a matter of time until I got to her ear,” Dextro says. “And from
there, we talked about NECHTO — and here we are.”
The tracks on the EP are shaped by a mix of spontaneous ideas and observations on daily
life, society, and broader themes like science and the unknown. Dextro explains that the
track titles often reflect his current state of mind or something happening around him —
sometimes personal, other times completely random. Each one sits within his established
sound: energetic, structured, and focused on rhythm.
One of the six tracks features Cardao, with whom Dextro shares what he describes as “a
good harmony and easy understanding” in the studio. Known for his groove-led, percussive
style, Cardao’s contribution adds another layer to the release while fitting seamlessly into its
overall tone.
Shaped by both artists’ individual perspectives, this EP stays close to the club — direct,
driving techno rooted in shared sensibilities and straightforward execution.

The Drexciyan Compendium: Book One
Forged in darkness. Pressurized by myth. Illuminated by resistance.
A visionary fusion of Afrofuturism, aquatic mythology, and techno mysticism, The Drexciyan Compendium is the definitive chronicle of an underwater empire born from the fall of Atlantis and shaped by Black imagination. Within these pages lies the epic foundation of Drexciya — a sovereign oceanic civilization forged by sorceresses, warriors, scientists, and rebels who carry the memory of displacement and the fire of resurgence.
Told through sacred scrolls, vivid illustrations, and mythic storytelling, Book One dives deep into the origins of Drexaha the Eternal Tidebearer, Doctor Blowfin and his science revolution, the ancient Mothers of the Abyss, and the first great clans of Drexciya. It is a narrative of memory and survival, of resistance and innovation, echoing both the horrors of history and the brilliance of a liberated future.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of Drexciyan lore or just beginning your descent into these sonic and spiritual depths, this is the starting point for a saga that spans oceans, centuries, and stars.

Nookie - B2. Over & Over
Proudly presenting Nookie's debut album for Metalheadz - 'Improvisions'.
A collection of work which Nookie himself calls "the best tracks I've ever written", 'Improvisions' embraces the fact that we don't live in a perfect world. Throughout the project, aided in many parts by Ruth Royall, Nookie expresses his deep-rooted love for the music he's devoted so much of his life to, backed further by a total creative freedom.
As with much of Nookie's music, vocals are a crucial component. Ruth Royall's soul-stirring presence can be heard on six of the album's 13 tracks, including standouts like 'Missing You', 'Part Of Me' and the previously released 'Hero'. Given the vigour and liveliness that both artists exhibit, it is difficult to imagine that they first connected online. Ruth calls working with Nookie "a pleasure right from the start", adding that "the musicality shone through instantly and just sparked endless ideas".
As we head deeper into the album Nookie provides some signature dancefloor fillers in the way of 'Future Forever' and 'Over & Over', as well as lower tempo beats such as '92 Interlude' and 'Smoke Screen'. The assemblage of tracks come together impressively, further cementing Nookie's reputation as one of the most important artists of his kind.
'Improvisions' is released in full on 13th October preceded by a 2-track sampler on 29th September, both pressed onto 12" white vinyl.

4. SHORT INFO:
Highlighting a decade of working together as ‘Fronte Violeta’, Brazilian transdisciplinary artist Anelena
Toku and musician and sound artist Carla Boregas are set to release the album ‘Fronte Violeta’, a
captivating blend of aural compositions, scents and experiences.
Switching the moniker name to the album title serves as a way to showcase the culmination of their
multidisciplinary project’s journey, developed from compiling fragments, sounds and intentions from
their previous body of work comprising electroacoustic and electronic music composition, moving
image, scent, installation and live performances.
‘Fronte Violeta’ is a sonic amalgam where synthesized sounds, percussion, voice, feathers, branches
and other non-human sonorities coalesce. Toku and Boregas have skillfully woven together those
elements creating a rich tapestry of interconnected sounds that tension our perception as something
always in motion, never fully settling into an established form.
Composed and performed by Anelena Toku and Carla Boregas.
Anelena Toku : synth, sampler, voice
Carla Boregas : synth, electronics, tape, taishogoto, gong, feedback, voice, amplified objects
Juliana R. : voice (track 7)
Caio Vinícius : gong, feather (track 1 and 3)
Barata : drums (track 6)
Recorded by Anelena Toku, Carla Boregas, Felipe Pato and Bruno Palazzo
Produced by Carla Boregas
Mixed by Carla Boregas and Nicolás Jaar

4. SHORT INFO:
Highlighting a decade of working together as ‘Fronte Violeta’, Brazilian transdisciplinary artist Anelena
Toku and musician and sound artist Carla Boregas are set to release the album ‘Fronte Violeta’, a
captivating blend of aural compositions, scents and experiences.
Switching the moniker name to the album title serves as a way to showcase the culmination of their
multidisciplinary project’s journey, developed from compiling fragments, sounds and intentions from
their previous body of work comprising electroacoustic and electronic music composition, moving
image, scent, installation and live performances.
‘Fronte Violeta’ is a sonic amalgam where synthesized sounds, percussion, voice, feathers, branches
and other non-human sonorities coalesce. Toku and Boregas have skillfully woven together those
elements creating a rich tapestry of interconnected sounds that tension our perception as something
always in motion, never fully settling into an established form.
Composed and performed by Anelena Toku and Carla Boregas.
Anelena Toku : synth, sampler, voice
Carla Boregas : synth, electronics, tape, taishogoto, gong, feedback, voice, amplified objects
Juliana R. : voice (track 7)

Barata : drums (track 6)
Recorded by Anelena Toku, Carla Boregas, Felipe Pato and Bruno Palazzo
Produced by Carla Boregas
Mixed by Carla Boregas and Nicolás Jaar
Mastered by Patrick Higgins

Info
WRWTFWW Records is very excited to announce its third release from visionary Japanese ambient/experimental/environmental composer/producer Yutaka Hirose, this time with brand new album Voices, available on limited edition heavyweight-sleeved double LP as well as double CD, both with liner notes from the artist.
Voices finds Yutaka Hirose expanding his signature spatial layering into a three-dimensional videography of sound, blending field recordings, electronic manipulations, and abstract narratives. The 12-track album is a journey through a crumbling library where books whisper, history collides, and sonic textures weave new realities. Chaos, memory, and transformation – Hirose’s voices echo throughout the space, creating a fully immersive sonic experience.
The pioneering experimental and abstract electronic piece with deep hints of ambient and IDM is beautifully represented by the original artwork by Koji Shiroshita and Mifuku gracing the double LP and double digipack CD sleeves.
Voices marks Yutaka Hirose’s third full-length release on WRWTFWW Records, following his kankyõ ongaku classics Nova + 4 (an expanded version of his genre defining Soundscape 2: Nova album) and archival compilation TRACE: Sound Design Works 1986-1989, both available in vinyl, CD, and digital formats.
Points of interests
- For fans of abstract, electronic, environmental, ambient, IDM, darkwave, kankyõ ongaku, experimental, three-dimensional sonic landscapes, field recordings, exploring new worlds, the unknown.
- 12 new tracks from master Yutaka Hirose (Soundscape 2: Nova) exploring abstract electronics, available on Double LP and Double CD.

Roman Flügel - Geht’s Noch? (Steve Angello Remix)
Tracklist:
A1. Peder Mannerfelt Remix
A2. Luca Lozano Gehts Garage Remix
B1. Aasthma Remix
B2. Steve Angello Remix
A noughties classic, an earworming anthem, an eventual schoolyard ringtone favourite; Roman Flügel’s once inescapable ‘Geht’s Noch?’ celebrates turning 21 on Running Back, refreshed and remixed by a scene-spanning set of artists paying keen tribute to its absurdist energy.
Casually released as part of a Cocoon Records compilation in 2004, ‘Geht’s Noch?’ rose from the depths with the support of Sven Väth, becoming an international phenomenon, conquering and uniting the dominant scenes of minimal and electroclash alike. Some have said it laid the foundations for the ‘Dirty Dutch’
house scene, albeit from over the border in Germany.
Well known for injecting much-needed levity into the contemporary club landscape via her Live From Earth parties, DJ Gigola adds additional firepower to ‘Geht’s Noch?’, inducing a planet-shaking kick drum, before sending the track’s signature bleeps into nonsensical Morse code for even greater pleasure. Another rave
culture connoisseur, Luca Lozano, offers two alternate takes; his ‘Technocs’ mix rolls deep with additional cowbells, robotic voice commands and stadium-sized claps. Meanwhile, the ‘Gehts Garage Remix’ draws a savvy connection with the original’s as-yet-untapped UK funky potential.
Peder Mannerfelt, who straddles the line between innovation, functionality, humor and seriousness quite like its original author, takes ‘Geht’s Noch?’ to truly wuthering heights. His remix builds unexpected drama and catharsis around the enduring riff, before a collaboration with studio partner Par Grindvik as Aasthma
spins the club out with a glossy, anime-tinted take, full of whimsy and colour.
And while the digital release of Geht’s Noch? also spans interpretations from Audion, Domnik Eulberg & Moguai, this vinyl release presses Steve Angello vs Who’s Who remix to wax, that which helped take ‘Geht’s Noch?’ out of the underground and into the stratosphere. Twenty years on, and Flügel’s offbeat hit is always ascending. Love it or hate it, ‘Geht’s Noch?' will still get you good.

Riddim Research Lab vs Ant To Be - Cry Fi Dem
RRL and Lay-Far are back on GAMM with a killa 7" exploring the bridges between Jamaican sound systems and UK 90's club culture.
Side A delivers an uptempo dub vs breakbeat tune that probably could've been championed by someone like Grooverider or similar in the mid 90s.
On the B side we find a fierce original jungle version with those Amen drums hitting bang on.
