2025 is going to wrap up and we take a look back, wanting to say a heartfelt thank you to all the great artists we worked with and huge thanks to all the fans that supported us along. Been a exciting ride. Here is the freebie closing this yes. Cheers!

Hotdogg is the first raindrop flickering in the neon-heated, forgotten alleys of night-time Tokyo, an ephemeral reminiscence of a summer you never experienced, yet you know it intimately, a Friday rave of teenagers in their parents’ garage. Come choose, and you’ll get an extra portion.

With roots in dub soundsystem sessions and years of tireless organising of electronic parties under the banner of Haze Boys (https://hearthis.at/haze-boys/), as well as recording varied radio sessions for Threads radio, he has returned in his later years to his beloved breaks.

This SEMCAST shows just a taste of his eclectic selection – from meditative breaks, through (atmospheric) jungle, to juke and beyond…

Sit down, tune in and enjoy.

From the depths of the underground comes Heathen with a devastating halftime offering that drips with atmosphere and intent. Carcosa unravels like a ritual—uneasy textures and low-end pressure weaving through shadowy spaces, pulling you into its dark orbit. Subterra plunges deeper still—rolling sub frequencies and sparse percussion evoking the feeling of being buried beneath the weight of sound itself.

Coming as digital download and streams on Soul Ex Machina, November 14th 2025.

Written & produced by Heathen

The first release in the semblk series sets an uncompromising tone for this new imprint dedicated to darker, more introspective strains of 170 bpm music. Limited to just 30 lathe-cut black label plates, encased in full artwork handmade screen-printed sleeves, this series is clearly aimed at collectors and those who cherish the tactile, raw experience of vinyl.

Kicking things off is Hungarian producer St.Iff with The Repressed Urge, a four-track exploration of the shadowy edges of drum & bass, jungle, and halfstep. The A1 title track immediately plunges into murky depths with tense atmospherics and fractured percussion. On A2, St.Iff teams up with Manchester’s Artilect for “Percival,” pushing the momentum into a brooding jungle roller laced with ghostly pads and shuffling breaks. Flip to the B side and “Hollow Out” continues the descent, stripping things back with skeletal drums and cavernous low-end pressure that feels almost ritualistic. The closing track, “Urawa,” sees St.Iff joined by Focal Point for a bleak halfstep excursion, where sparse kicks echo through dense fogs of texture, amplifying the EP’s psychological pull.

The latest edition of the SEMCAST series comes courtesy of Evasion & Conman. Blending jungle, 140 jungle, breakbeat hardcore, and drum and bass, the mix cuts a sharp path through the duo’s own productions alongside a wide spectrum of influences, tracing the lineage of the UK underground while pushing into darker, futuristic territory. Packed with heavy percussion, rolling break edits, and atmospheric depth, the mix doesn’t just showcase where Evasion & Conman have come from — it hints at where they’re headed. Fans will catch glimpses of the energy and tension that define their upcoming “Clones” EP.
