LEGENDARY UK ELECTRO PIONEER BASS JUNKIE UNLEASHES NEW MENTAL NOTE EP Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately) EP Arrives Via No Static Automatic No Static Automatic is proud to announce the new EP from UK Electro legend Phil Klein under his Mental Note alias. Titled Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately), this release marks the dynamic follow-up to the acclaimed 2020 debut Voices In My Head (Noises In My Pants). Few authentic Electro producers from the UK can wear the badge legend with the same level of justification as Phil Klein, aka Bass Junkie. Active since the late 80s, Klein has tirelessly shaped his distinct vision of Electro, both as a solo artist and through storied collaborations with icons like Dynamix II, Keith Tenniswood (Radioactiveman), and Si Brown (Dexorcist). As a DJ, remixer, live act, and the driving force behind the seminal Battle Trax label, his influence is woven into the fabric of the genre. With essential releases on labels including DMX Krews Breakin Records, Andrea Parkers Touchin Bass, and Billy Nastys Elektrix, the Bass Junkie sound seamlessly bridges the old-school beats of Electros origins with a potent, borderline-industrial edge. As noted by Andy Barton of Bass Agenda: From funky to ferocious, Bass Junkies discography is a must-have for anyone claiming passion for the genre influential, individual, and infectious with every beat. Now, as Mental Note, Klein continues his exploration of electronic psychedelia. The new EP, Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately), is a four-track expedition through the Electro cosmos: Brainwash immerses the listener in swirling, hypnotic synths. They're Not Blue, Theyre Purple delivers a masterclass in crunchy, textured drums. Primordial Soup showcases frantic, intricate programming. Kluster Funk offers a moment of deep, sonic relief and groove. Each track reinforces Mental Notes signature: a journey that is cerebral, raw, and irresistibly rhythmic.

Bønehead Teases Another Alter Ego With His New Album 'Sushi Pizza Baker' Is It Gonna Be A New Record Label? A Live Show? A Visual Experiment? Back in Autumn 2023, when the New Delhi–based, multifaceted, and genre-fluid artist - Bønehead, dropped his debut LP titled 'Cyanidrumachine,' it was conceptually different from his usual 4-track EP output, and the title was surprisingly missing his signature 'ø.' Leaving listeners in a fix, only at the end of 2025 did we realize that CDM is part of a much bigger project. An alter ego with a different way of looking at things, a different approach to making music. CDM is raw and unfiltered, taking improvised ideas from his live set and arranging them on the DAW with minimal tinkering so as to keep the authenticity of the live set experience alive. The CDM live set is also set to debut soon for the Indian dance floors. Fast forward to today, Bønehead delivers another 10-track compilation of his own work titled 'Sushi Pizza Baker,' and we are quite sure we're going to get something new real soon. The real question is what? We've got a new live set, and we've got a visual moniker. Are we looking at a new record label? If so, how is this going to be different from Bøne.FM Pre-orders on Beatport go live on 11th March 2026 Releases on all streaming platforms on 25th March 2026 Artwork & Visuals by HalfDiminishedSeventhChord
