Feel the temperature drop to Absolute Magnitude’s artfully monochrome Drum and Bass single, Cold in November

Posted on 7 August 2023

Sonically signifying that even though the globe is hotting up our modern era of dystopia is growing ever colder in terms of connection, Absolute Magnitude’s latest cinematically monochrome Drum and bass hit, Cold in November, is an arresting sign of the ostracised times.

The magnetic resonance of the release is only matched by the disjointed glitchwavey artfulness of the release that traverses themes of all-encompassing loss that create wormhole-esque voids in our lives. With heartbreak underpinning the futuristic release, Cold in November reaches the pinnacle of visceral vulnerability.

Cold in November is just one of the tracks found on the forthcoming LP, Main Sequence, which is due for release on September 29; it efficaciously sets the tone for the emotionally and intellectually elevated singles that are set to follow in the footsteps of Bjork’s Army of Me Remix.

As you eagerly await the drop of the LP, stream the official music video for Cold in November on YouTube.

Konetix weaved an electrifying sonic tapestry with his monocultural-mould smashing Drum n Bass single, Soy Candela

Posted on 2 July 2023

Konetix didn’t just push the boundaries with his latest drum and bass hit, Soy Candela; he forced them to erupt with the infusion of Latina flavour, psytrance transcendence, and jazzy motifs fed through the fiery sax lines.

With infectious energy and electrifying sonic tapestries as the two cornerstones of his MO, the enduringly ambitious artist hasn’t failed to make his mark in the music industry, which has been keen to celebrate his profound passion and the nuances within his distinctively vibrant flair as a music producer.

After his 2020 debut EP, the impassioned visionary has racked up over 10 million streams and has refined his craft while collaborating with industry heavyweights, such as DJ Phantasy, Nicky Blackmarket, Henry Shotta and Ben Snow. To nurture the talent of other emerging acts in the drum and bass scene, he has founded his own record label, Melted Face Records. Somehow, he has also found the time to captivate audiences worldwide with his DJ sets by making appearances at renowned clubs and on international stages.

Stream Soy Candela from June 30th on Spotify.
