The third Sauce Direct vinyl is on your way

 

Leeds based producer Skins delivers another collection of jungle-inspired productions on the new offering of his Sauce Direct series, highlighting both a deep respect for the genre's foundations and a forward-thinking approach to drum programming and sound design.

Kicking off with "357" and its atmospheric synth work with chopped-up amen breaks and weighty basslines, balancing nostalgic jungle influences with a modern production style.

Coming next "Burnin Up" with intricate rhythmic patterns, gradually unfolding into warm pads and expressive vocal fragments that add an emotional edge to the track.

On the B-side, "Heat Seeker" pushes into more intense territory. Driven by relentless breakbeats and dense jungle textures, the track builds toward soaring lead melodies that evoke elements of both rave and electronic music traditions. Inspired by an 80s film, it carries a cinematic energy throughout. And finally the EP closes with a reflective mood of "The Haze". Layered arpeggios, subtle pads, and finely crafted drum work create a spacious and immersive atmosphere, providing a fitting conclusion while highlighting another side of Skins' musical palette.

All in all, this is a superb new weapon of sophisticated hi-energy bangers that won't dissapoint you at all. It comes out officially on 3rd of July and it's available on 12" Vinyl and Digital format.

The "Wu Wei" EP by mʊdʌki

Operating at the crossroads of club culture and sonic experimentation, Czech artist mʊdʌki has built a reputation through her dynamic DJ sets fueled by Jungle, D&B and Dubstep.

Her practice embraces everything from unconventional Techno and Experimental electronics to sound-based art projects and compositions for installation spaces. Away from the studio and stage, she is equally engaged as a researcher, broadcaster, writer, and a driving force behind Phonon Crew.

So, after a long period of anticipation, her "Wu Wei" EP arrives as a 3-track journey into the less-charted territories that underpin rave and jungle culture. The EP draws inspiration from the energy, emotion, and physicality of the dancefloor while shifting the focus toward deeper listening. Its intricate arrangements and atmospheric depth reward both immersive home playback and powerful sound system experiences.

"Made with support of homies back in Minsk, Belarus, and dedicated to noone else than the Kru, alongside the forever calling nostalgia for the panel'ka vibez, mixed with the basswaves of LE. Sampling w/ Stwone, studio hours w/ Walter B."
