Read moreTruancy Volume 39: Logos
While many current artists outside the direct circles of grime might cite the genre as a prime influence, not a lot of them manage to embody the heart of its icy emotions in their music quite like London-based producer Logos. Though he’s been producing for about eight years, there haven’t been a lot of releases […]
Read moreTruancy Volume 38: Bondax
What were you doing in your last year of school? Nerding out in the library or setting fire to the common room? Either way we’ll hazard a guess that the majority of you weren’t getting signed to record labels and producing smooth jams. Lancaster duo Bondax, however, are doing just that. They’re all over the […]

Introducing: South London Ordnance
When South London Ordnance recently bemoaned his lack of public relations skills on Twitter, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce him to you. The elusive 23-year-old producer’s Soundcloud had caught our attention with an endearing lack of biographic detail allowing the music to speak for itself. He’s one of the newest […]

Interview: Dexter
As the definition of his artist name suggests, Dexter‘s (real name Remy Verheijen) back catalogue is highly auspicious.

When we first came across the sounds of the twenty-two year old West County based producer Tessela in the form of his All City released debut “Slugger” EP in June, it was immediately evident that it was going to be one of those releases that’s in it for the long haul, losing none of its […]

Interview: Braiden
The classification barriers in contemporary club music have been blurred for quite some time now and you’ll be hard pressed to find a prolific dubstep producer who hasn’t made at least one foray into the timeless 4 x 4 template, some even dedicating their whole studio time to this end. On the other hand, you […]
