Atmospherix and Hydro team up for this bubbling 2 piece vinyl-only release on IM:Ltd. First up, Atmospherix drops this weighted techy roller entitled System Break. Featuring snippets of spaceship-like samples alongside constant sweeps, Atmospherix really does make this piece sound like some kind of system breakdown of an interstellar ship. Sounds crazy, we know, but you get what we’re saying.
On the flip Atmospherix and Hydro drop another roller with Duende, this time with soft, floating vocals on top of a grinding, grizzly bass line. A tasty treat from this well-set duo.

Hungarian producer Giocator drops his latest creation on Break-Fast Audio with the Better World EP. Featuring deep and rolling subs, Giocator puts industrial samples and effects to great use, giving each track an air of depth and futurism.
Though providing two brilliant techy rollers, Giocator also gives us two slower pieces, firstly with Shadowdub, which some could say is a tech/hip hop fusion. Next we’re given Kill Me Now, a rumbling 2-step piece with a chilling vocal sample. Perfect for those dark, dingy clubs at the dead of night!
Topping it off, Giocator drops The Ludovico Technique, a wobbbling, and industrial piece. A vibrant techy roller with ever changing samples and effects.
A/ Giocator - Better World
B/ Giocator - Shadowdub

Many of you may have already heard it, but Dub Phizix has managed to pull out another abosultely stonking 2-step roller, this time in the shape of Never Been. With Fox stepping up to add some undeniably fitting vocals to this already bumping track, this piece truly makes the speakers come alive when it’s played. With this deep minimal Jungle-esque piece smashing up dancefloors across the nation it’s only fitting that we give it some air time on our on page, and rightly so.
Make sure you turn your speakers up for this one.

James Turner, aka Comfort, joins IM:Ltd once again to bring us ‘a breathe of fresh air’ in a place of dark and grizzly rhythms, and he does this in the form of The James Turner EP.
Brilliant piano sections are muffled out, whilst backing the warm and vibrant bass lines that this Plymouth-based producer conjures up, and the EP immediately jump into life with Shore Leave. Comfort manages to effortlessly feed us a mixture of minimal and liquid vibes, as this EP really does lighten up the mood from what is brilliant, but dark sounds from IM:Ltd.
A personal favourite of ours is The Old Hospital, it’s ever-so-light piano notes backed by a distant saxophone before slowly sliding into the bubbling sounds of the drop.

Nymfo drops us a taster of what’s to come on Klute’s Commercial Suicide- some very dirty basslines.
Starting off the vibes, Nymfo drops us a wicked deep roller in the shape of Under Fire. A wall of subs and tight percussion, this track will have any listener getting their wobble on.
On the flip, Nymfo cranks up the tempo alongside June Miller with Boshoven. Immediately from the drop, June Miller’s sound is present, with Nymfo tweaking the track to bring us a truly dirty piece. Some might say Neuro Funk, but in our eyes it’s just down right gully, switching up the vibe effortlessly from Under Fire.
A/ Nymfo - Under Fire
B/ Nymfo & June Miller - Boshoven
