Backdraft - Blitz EP

 

After years of genre-defining drops and speaker-wrecking mayhem, Manchester’s breakbeat veterans Backdraft return with their fresh pummeling 'Blitz EP'. Long-time torchbearers of the UK breaks scene, Paul and Karrie come out swinging with this release, proving once again that time hasn’t dulled their edge.

The title track 'Blitz' is a fusing filthy electro wobble with syncopated breaks, and that classic Backdraft attitude. There’s a riot in the rhythm section, and you’re invited. And this is a dancefloor demolition at its finest. 'Rise Up' takes a more anthemic route without losing any of the grit. Ragga-infused vocals ride atop distorted basslines and glitchy drum work - a true call to arms for bass heads and rebel ravers alike. The energy here is relentless, revolutionary, and ridiculously fun.

All in all, whether they’re melting subwoofers or fusing genres with zero regard for convention, Backdraft do it all with unmistakable flair and unfiltered passion. 'Blitz' is one more outstanding release from South West based Soundsystem Bassrock, led by their main man Paul Bassrock who's deeep inside the game for so many years.

High-Speed Warmth: MAR VISTA & Club Angel – Outrun (Higher Ground)

Buy Here 

Seoul’s club scene has been moving at its own pace for a while now- fast, bright, and full of energy that doesn’t take itself too seriously. 'Outrun', the new release from MAR VISTA and Club Angel on Higher Ground, captures that feeling perfectly.  

It’s a track that feels like movement- part video-game rush, part late-night dancefloor release. Sitting at 140 BPM, it blends melody with pace in a way that feels warm rather than harsh. You can hear traces of Seoul’s underground in every part of it: the DIY community spirit, the small-crew mentality, and the refusal to chase trends.  

MAR VISTA’s background in fashion and his work building platforms like 'lifestream' and 'Bumpy' gives 'Outrun' a real sense of purpose. It’s music that treats connection as the main event- not just a by-product. Club Angel’s influence adds punch and polish, keeping the track driving while still open and human.  

Higher Ground’s involvement gives this collaboration a wider reach, but 'Outrun' never sounds like it’s trying to fit in with a global template. It’s rooted in Seoul’s micro-scene energy- a kind of underground optimism where friendship and frequency matter more than metrics.  

If 2025’s “joyful rave” wave has a sound, this might be it- fast, melodic, and grounded in the idea that rave can be emotional again.
