FKOF Premiere!

FKOF fam link with FKOF fam for the latest prem, and we're delighted to welcome both Drew and the IFS gang back alongside the dude q100 for the next IFS LTD release. Unsurprisingly, the record's packed with bangers.

Hit the buy-link to bag, and the release drops 20th November 2026...

"A familiar face to the Infernal Sounds crew returns to make his solo debut, as q100 brings the Splitter EP, putting his high-calibre, brute-force sound design firmly at the forefront. It's high energy, and perfect to add some spice to the dancefloor.

"'Sheftalia' delivers a dose of high-end pressure, layering some of the most intricate hi-hat patterns you'll hear in 140 right now with a suffocating bass-end stranglehold. The attention to detail throughout makes this one particularly effective on a soundsystem."

1. q100 - Splitter (VINYL ONLY)

2. q100 - Turnover

3. q100 x FLO - Confirmed Believers

4. q100 - Sheftalia

5. q100 - Doppleganger

FKOF Premiere!

Nearly three years since the previous instalment, @thechikaraproject finally returns with ‘Connections Vol. 4’, bringing together another carefully curated selection of Bass music from artists pushing their sound forward. With every contributor stepping up to deliver something special, the compilation marks a long-awaited return for the series. We're premiering ‘Valley Route' by @mellondubs...

'Valley Route' takes us on a deep, groove-led journey, balancing warm atmospherics with rolling percussion and weighty sub pressure. Subtle textures and carefully placed rhythmic details keep the movement flowing, while Mellon's signature soulful touch adds an extra layer of depth. Hypnotic, immersive and built for those deeper soundsystem moments, it's yet another FKOF favourite, and a fine contribution to the rich Chikara catalogue.

With volume 4 set for release on 06/11/2026, this DnB focused LP is definitely a gift from the bass gods...

FKOF Premiere!

FKOF fam and Glaswegian troublemaker @kami-o is back with his next self release, dropping next Friday.

Here's the FKOF Premiere of 'Tuning' - a tune on the 'Shift' EP. The release marks a return to the deeper, dubstep-oriented sound at the core of his productions. To bag from bandcamp, just hit the buy link under the player! !

Check the showreel for the whole EP: https://on.soundcloud.com/QMYH88Loq0r9KxPHdV

"As with his previous self-released EPs, the artwork was entirely self-created, evolving the photography-based collage style he developed while studying at The Glasgow School of Art.

"The 'Shift' EP follows steady recognition across radio and print throughout 2026. His music has picked up regular support from BBC Radio 1 and Mixmag, with 'Hava' named Track of the Week on BBC Introducing in Scotland, and 'Bruise' selected as one of Mixmag’s best tracks of the year so far.

"On the live side, Kami-O has played a variety of radio and club dates this year, including headline shows at Stereo in Glasgow and The Mash House in Edinburgh, as well as maintaining his bi-monthly residency on Radio Buena Vida alongside Wil from FKOF. The Shift EP caps off a busy run in 2026, with further dates and projects being lined up through late this year and Q1/Q2 2027. "

FKOF Sessions!

Travelling last two weeks so this one's a FKOF special instead of broadcasting on Subtle. First hour featuring the usual beats, bass and space from Wil from FKOF and hour two featuring selections from Anapa's @lwsgys6ggrls. Nikita's mix coming as a standalone upload shortly!

Anyone wants the DL, shout and we can add a link

"niicksonn is a multi-genre selector and producer from Ustatova Balka, Anapa, and a representative of Anapa-based soundsystem Silla. His sets revolve around UK bass and related sounds, balancing broken UK rhythms with more straight and percussive grooves. He is the founder of Big Bass Fishing, a party series focused on contemporary UK sounds, and a regular presence at bass-oriented events across the Black Sea coast. He has also participated in a soundsystem clash at RNDM in Moscow. In his sets, niicksonn puts a strong focus on rhythm, low-end, dynamics and pressure, moving freely between different tempos, structures and shades of bass music."

FKOF Premiere!

For 'LOCUS043', @locus_sound welcomes @balemusic56 for his debut solo EP on the label. Across four originals, Bale showcases the soulful side of his sound, with label artists @arrettields and @chrisguillotine rounding out the release with their own takes on the title track.

'In A Word' sets the tone with a warm, introspective approach to soundsystem music, pairing soulful textures with deep low-end and carefully restrained percussion. Subtle melodic details drift through the mix while the bass provides a weighty foundation underneath, allowing every element plenty of room to breathe. Deep, emotive and beautifully understated: a strong introduction to Bale’s sound on Locus.

Set for digital release on 16/10/2026, hit the buy-link attached to support artist and label. Instabag business...

FKOF Promo!

Together, the FKOF Records team has helped to shape our catalogue through an A&R approach built around atmosphere, pressure and personality. But our next release began differently. Olaf aka @Korrupt felt it was time for change, both within ourselves and in the sound around us...

FKOFd064 is available via our bandcamp for pre-order now, and dropping from 16/10/26 onwards (as well as on Beatport). It's then out on general release two weeks after that.

1. L’Enfant D’La Plèbe - Paradise

2. L’Enfant D’La Plèbe - Cirrus

3. L’Enfant D’La Plèbe - I Just Want To Fly

4. L’Enfant D’La Plèbe - Noir de Jais

'Over the last few years, Olaf has found himself drawn further into the underground freetekno scene: psychedelic, uptempo techno built for free parties, open-air rigs and long squat nights without boundaries. Immersed in that raw energy, he began questioning the state of the dubstep material around him. Had parts of the sound become too safe? Too polished? Has the edge that first pulled so many of us in been softened over time? Those questions became the foundation of the 64th outing on FKOF Records, the 'Ephemeral' EP from French producer L'Enfant D'La Plèbe (@elric-bardoux). This is a release that is raw, beautiful and impossible to ignore. Rooted in sub-bass, rhythm and atmosphere, it pushes beyond familiar dubstep boundaries without losing its physical weight. Elrich's unfiltered musicality, instinctive sound design and balance of intensity and emotion made this EP impossible for Olaf to overlook. This is also, as far as we are aware, our first EP wholly produced using hardware!

''Paradise' arrives at full speed before unfolding into vibrant textures, confident sub-bass and spacious percussion, pulling the listener far beyond the dancefloor. A sense of melancholy soon takes hold, as bitcrushed bass and fragile choirs collide with striking confidence. By the second drop, the track reveals its full force, bringing every element together in a moment that feels both weightless and intensely physical.

'Track two, 'Cirrus', is a deceptively innocent production that shifts the moment its first drop lands. From there, the track pulls you into a dreamscape of bass weight, soaring highs and psychedelic percussion. That combination drives the release forward with restless energy, balancing a sense of weightlessness with overwhelming physical force. At times, 'Cirrus' feels almost celestial: a fallen angel descending through clouds of distortion, pressure and low-end intensity.

''I Just Want To Fly' starts with a slow rise. Low-end immediately disperses beneath the shallow kicks, while the atmospherics gradually take off, hand in hand with confident percussion. Before you know it, a snare, violin and violent growl slowly guide all the existing elements towards their final destination: an explosion of emotion. As the beautiful notes begin to bounce off the chords, the entire ensemble comes together as the epitome of L'Enfant D'La Plèbe's distinctive sound. A brief pause gives the track one final, magnificent push into the sky. Close your eyes and you might just find yourself flying.

'Shallow, morphing choirs open 'Noir de Jais', while a highly polished 4x4 kick is chased by a dark bassline and intriguing glitches. Slowly but steadily, hi-hat action and endlessly evolving soundscapes fill the stereo image, creating a precious loop of frequency-shooting stars. A pad then begins to jump up and down, pushing the track towards its second drop and ping-ponging you through the realms of L'Enfant D'La Plèbe's fundamental genius for track creation. He makes you feel as though you're listening to a dubstep-esque production, with the snare almost landing on the third beat. It is these twisted, recurring details that made us fall in love with the distinctive sound of the French genius.'
