#10 Feat. Staff Picks in Drum & Bass

Hailing from the vibrant city of Graz, 28-year-old Healian is 100%% one to watch in the evolving landscape of Drum & Bass music. With a passion for writing and sound design, Healian is not only a producer and DJ but also works behind the scenes as a mastering engineer for various genres. Inspired by the likes of Noisia, Buunshin, Imanu, and many more, Healian has found a sound that blends dynamic rhythms, rolling beats, and pounding basslines that hit just right. His tracks are well-executed, showcasing his dedication to pushing his sound to the next level. We are very pleased to present his debut EP on the label, a testament to Healian's dedication to his craft. 'Maelstrom,' the title track, will certainly captivate you on the dancefloor and shake the club system, just like the rest of the EP. All four tunes tell their own story with different sonics, but they still keep that Healian signature stamp on them. On top of that, Healian and Geostatic joined forces again for their collaboration, 'What Do I Do,' a deep and emotive tune that garnered heavy radio support on BBC Radio 1 and FM4 Distributed by Label Engine - www.label-engine.com

#34 Feat. Staff Picks in Drum & Bass

Koax makes his anticipated return to Transparent Audio with his sixth appearance, showcasing two compelling tracks that speak for themselves. Influenced by artists such as Noisia and Mefjus, Koax seamlessly blends minimal, neuro, and deep liquid styles, drawing from his early influences in death metal. With numerous releases on the Transparent Audio imprint since its inception, Koax's sound has become an integral part of the label's identity. His chart-topping Jagged EP on Beatport further solidifies Koax's reputation for innovative soundscapes and forward-thinking sonics. Teaming up with Azrah for their heavyweight collaboration "See You,", the Pembrokeshire-based producer and DJ, brings a fresh perspective to the table. Influenced by minimal drum and bass, Azrah's sounds merge seamlessly with Koax's style. The single kicks off with "Pillow Scream," a minimal cold cut, featuring a haunting midrange bass, a thumping bassline, and an infectious groove. "See You" is an aggressive dancefloor anthem, boasting sawing bass leads, punchy drums, and eerie vocal snippets that come together to create a weighty and compelling tune.
