Kepler and Boss Priester join forces on the Use Ya Head EP, a three-track release landing on Sidney Charles's Heavy House Society imprint. Rooted in deep underground groove and forward-thinking club energy, the EP blends rolling basslines, hypnotic textures, and sharp rhythmic detail into a package built for discerning dancefloors and late-night sessions. Title track 'Use Ya Head' sets the tone with grooving low-end movement, tripped-out textures, and edgy underground energy. Driven by a weighty bassline and fluid rhythmic flow, the track balances hypnotic tension with stripped-back precision, delivering a quality-over-quantity approach perfectly suited to intimate underground spaces. On 'Bounce Around,' the pair lean into a more playful and energetic direction. An infectious urban vocal hook and killer bassline groove drive the track forward, while youthful energy and punchy percussion keep the dancefloor locked from start to finish. Direct, rolling, and full of attitude, it's a cut built for peak-time underground moments. Closing the EP, 'Realise' delivers a hypnotic blend of bounce, swagger, and dreamlike atmosphere. Already gaining support from tastemakers including Enzo Siragusa, the track combines punchy grooves and swinging rhythmic movement with immersive melodic textures, balancing power and subtlety with effortless control. Leeds-based producer Kepler has rapidly established himself as one of the UK underground's most exciting talents through his distinctive fusion of house and garage influences. With releases on labels including FUSE, Up The Stuss, Semi Delicious, and Constant Sound, alongside appearances at venues and festivals such as Fabric, Club Der Visionaere, Mint Warehouse, Gottwood Festival, and Pikes, his groove-led productions have earned support from names including Ben UFO, Raresh, Chris Stussy, Four Tet, and Sonja Moonear. Joining him, Boss Priester has continued carving out a unique identity through a refined blend of minimal, house, and techno influences. His no-nonsense approach to groove and sound design has led to releases on respected labels including Fuse London, Ba Dum Tish, X-Kalay, Dungeon Meat, and Constant Sound, while performances at Awakenings, Loveland, 93 Feet East, and Lofi have further established his growing reputation.

Fuel for good times.

Changes' is a masterclass in keeping listeners on edge, shifting from a four-to-the-floor bassline banger into a soulful vocal-led breakdown, before twisting again into jungle-esque breaks and bass. It's not just a track about change, but a signal of what's to come from Krafty Kuts' forthcoming album Turbulence - a project that lives up to its name, built to rattle and shake things up. As he puts it: 'I love the space where genres collide and create something new. That spark, that excitement of making something unique and disrupting genres, is what inspired the album.

Skappakam returns with Big Man Ting, a no-nonsense two-step track that does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well. Based out of Australia, he's been steadily building momentum, and this one feels like a natural next step after his EP on Ark Angel, a release that properly put his name on the radar. There's a similar sense of confidence here, but it's even more stripped back. No extra layers for the sake of it, just solid drums, weighty bass, and a groove that carries the whole thing. Big Man Ting is all about feel. It's got that bounce that pulls people in without trying too hard, the kind of track that fits into a set easily but still holds its own. Whether it's warming things up or keeping the energy moving later on, it does the job without needing attention. There's something straightforward about the way Skappakam approaches his sound. It's rooted in UK garage, but it doesn't feel forced or overthought, just a clear understanding of what works on a system. After the statement of the Ark Angel EP, this feels like him settling into his lane a bit more - focused, consistent, and dialled into the dancefloor.

Anneke Laurent drops his single "Cloudy Groover" with three different takes on his musical mindset. The focus clearly leans toward a kind of microcosmic sound world, but he subtly weaves in house influences along the way. At first, the tracks feels a bit dense and not immediately easy to grasp, yet it slowly opens up. Groovy elements start to unfold, gently riding on rolling subs and deep basslines, giving the whole thing a smooth, flowing vibe.
