  • The Untouchables - Lost Knowledge [SMDELP16]
    The Untouchables - Lost Knowledge [SMDELP16]
    3xLP/Digital
    Marbled LP Edition Limited to 100
    https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/lost-knowledge
    Four years on from their landmark Grassroots, visionary half-time heavyweights The Untouchables return with their third album, Lost Knowledge. The duo of Kate McGill and Ajit ‘Nitrox’ Steyns have carved out a space in modern D&B all their own, building on a legacy that reaches back to the late 00s to keep pushing into unexplored terrain with an assured and deadly line in rhythmic intrigue and atmospheric immersion.
    Lost Knowledge launches into action instantly with the high-pressure drum science and dubby splashes of ‘Drunken Bells’, capturing the loopy techno propulsion and rolling intensity that drives so much of the output on Samurai Music. Where The Untouchables excel is in finding variety and nuance in their relatively forbidding, pared down sound.
    Nothing happens by accident or feels out of place — McGill and Steyns are in total control, and they demonstrate incredible range and inventive approaches within their focused style. The accent of the grooves shifts, and individual sounds carry all kinds of artefacts, yet everything gets folded into the exacting Untouchables sound with a liberal dubwise sensibility. Brimming with inspiration and immaculately produced, on Lost Knowledge their one-of-a-kind sound is stronger than ever.

  • Sciama - Anima Trace [SMDE52]
    Sciama - Between Veils [SMDE52]
    Released on 5 Track 12" and Digital
    Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to voidvinyl.eu and Bandcamp
    With a steely sound matching fathoms-deep echo chambers with metallic textures and precision drums, Sciama arrives on Samurai Music to press into the inspiring hinterland between techno and drum & bass.
    Sciama is the production alias for Michael Watters, a producer who since 2019 has carved out a formidable reputation across a stellar run of releases on ASC’s Auxiliary label. While his music references UK bass, transcendental techno and industrial, the end result is a taut, focused journey through fractured, weighty rhythms and vast, ranging atmospherics tilted towards the darkness.
    Between Veils is testament to Watters’ refined production, steeped in intensely detailed and layered sound design in constant fluid motion, whether locked to the grid or shifting across the surface of the track like grayscale snow drifts. Noise becomes a subtle tool in his hands, capable of delicacy as much as abrasion, and discord evokes a haunting beauty if you listen past the clangorous overtones he elicits from his pads.
    Moving well beyond the boundaries of any specific genre, Between Veils winds up as a strong, independent statement on the meeting point between broad influences and clear intentions — a formidable addition to Samurai Music’s explorations beyond drum & bass and Sciama’s steadily evolving, singular style.
