UK club music unconcerned with genre boundaries.\n\nEncarta '96 EP [CCSD003] is a five-track exploration of Cimm's hybrid approach to UK club music, drawing influence from techno, garage, dubstep and electro without settling comfortably into any one lane.\n\nThe EP opens with '3motions' alongside Fixate, a dark and steppy 140 roller built around hypnotic rhythms and techno influence. Title track 'Encarta '96' combines electro-inspired melodies and machine-driven percussion with rolling low-end pressure, earning support from Fonzo and Mia Koden. 'Errol' pushes into more technical territory at 130 BPM, packed with edits, switches and broken rhythms. 'Big Raj' blends garage swing, dubstep weight and techno energy, already supported by Alix Perez and Batu. Closing track 'Meri Gala Suno' strips things back with deep bass pressure, spacious atmospheres and subtle 2-step influence.\n\nBuilt for soundsystems and adventurous dancefloors alike, Encarta '96 EP continues Cimm's exploration of hybrid club music, occupying the space between UK bass music and contemporary dancefloor culture.

Neffa-T and Cimm return for their third release under the collaborative project Data Stream. 'Sherman' is an experimental approach to the classic 8 bar Grime structure, fusing together various results of distortion through unconventional processing, playful sound design and a intentionally rugged mixdown. Following on from '4 Focus' earlier this year, this release continues to grow Data Stream into a shared space for both artists to explore the potential cohesions across different genres within underground music.
