'Saturn Rising' :: The new vinyl EP of Aeon Four

After a well-earned hiatus, Aeon Four resurface with Saturn Rising/Mind Stretch - an EP that reminds us how effortlessly they fuse breakbeat precision with deep emotional pull.

The A-side, 'Saturn Rising', is punchy, streetwise drums drive a rush of luminous pads and celestial melodies that sparkle with that unmistakable Aeon Four touch. Flip to 'Mind Stretch', and the mood shifts inward. Built around a classic deep house vocal sample, the track unfolds in waves of atmosphere, rolling breaks, and subtly hypnotic basslines.

This amazing new EP is pressed on lemon-coloured vinyl. An uplifting yet raw, forward-looking yet nostalgic. Yes! The bros are officially back in orbit.

Jaap - Rave Matter

Greek producer Jaap marks his 20th year in the underground electronic music scene with 'Rave Matter', an album that bridges the raw energy of early drum & bass with the warmth of analog sound design.

"Each track was composed as a tribute to the warmth and depth of the analog sound that defined the early days of electronic production," Jaap explains. "To capture that spirit, I used Reason 4 - the first DAW I ever worked with when I began producing underground music, known for its authentic analog modeling and texture. Final touches and channel editing were done in Ableton Live to balance the mix while keeping the raw feel intact."

That philosophy runs deep throughout 'Rave Matter'. The album leans toward a 2000s-era drum & bass aesthetic, soaked in nostalgia yet sharpened by modern clarity. The albums comes out through US based Kryptic Audio.

Jaap’s path has been one of steady evolution. After contributing to Paranoise Radio’s annual compilation in 2024, his first official release, he built momentum through 2025 with music on respected US underground imprints like The Delirium Project, Sublimated Sounds, and NWSide Connect, as well as Portuguese Stairwell Dubs. Earlier works explored UK Bass, Breaks, and Dubstep, while his latest output on Kryptic Audio take a deeper dive into Drum & Bass, merging intricate programming with atmospheric precision.

Looking ahead, Jaap shows no sign of slowing down. His next release, a two-track EP for Persephone Records, blends Greek folk traditions with breakbeat science - one track built around a 130 BPM Amen Break, the other a 160 BPM Jungle reinterpretation of a piece by Reggetiko Project, a Thessaloniki-based band merging Balkan and jazz influences.

Unknown - Pillz Vol. 6

 

Nothing beats a surprise drop of the secretive Pillz series- not even a Jet 2 Holiday! This is vol 6 of the series and for the many of you who I know love a good oldskool mashup, you won't be disappointed!

Imagine if there was an 'Energizer' of the famous 'Energizer' series of oldskool mashups from the 90s? You don't have to imagine anymore! 'Charlesworth Chops' mashes up the famous Dave Charlesworth series into one crisp rebuild of the best bits with added flair in just under five minutes so you can throw your hands up in the air on every subsequent replay.

'We Can Make It' is serious ruffneck bizznizz in a rolling 92' Hardcore Jungle state of mind, a track in it's own right that spans the complete spectrum of elevated euphoria from mind bending stabs to positive piano. Two 'Pillz' that go down very nicely!
