On the A-side, elite Hyperdub producer Ikonika remixes Cubic Zirconia’s “Hoes Come Out At Night”, letting Tiombe Lockhart’s dirty rap vocals ride her charging 145bpm riddim. Infused with all of Ikonika’s signature cosmic synthwork, the ‘Hoes’ remix is ghettotech-flavoured and primed for peak-time dancefloors.

On the flip things get deeper as Bok Bok and Cubic Zirconia’s Nick Hook collaborate on an retrofuturistic acid-bassline monster by the name of “Reclash”. This time Tiombe is a ghostly presence, delivering disorientating incantations over Bok and Hook’s jacking 808 drums and soaring synth psychedelia.

Night Slugs Booty from outer space.

Egyptrixx makes celestial club music; jeep jams for a Saturn desert. Over the years his tracks have called on diverse styles from booty house to dubstep, but all of them share an exhilarating wrong-but-right tension – a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial.

At 122bpm, the EP’s lead track “The Only Way Up” is the ultimate subtle banger. A clattering rimshot beat plays host to immense swelling synths that build until breaking point, before a dangerously low sub drives the track to sheer soundsystem ecstasy. Hypnotic, mesmerising, punishing… nothing sounds quite like it.

The EP’s second original track takes a more direct approach. With its elastic bassline and warped synths “Everybody Bleeding” is like a futurist take on DJ Deeon’s “Rubberband Bass” -  definitely a riddim for the world’s tougher dancefloors.

The digital release includes three very special remixes:
Hyperdub’s first lady Ikonika reinterprets “The Only Way Up” as a soaring, blissed-out piece of synth’n'bass, permeated by choir pads and her signature emotive Moog.
Night Slugs’ NYC representative Kingdom goes in hard, borrowing the celestial synths of “Everybody Bleeding” to put together a MAW “Ha”-sampling ballroom club mix, featuring an incredibly ominous original vocal from his collaborator Shyvonne (we call this remix the “Space Ha”).
Finally Cubic Zirconia take “The Only Way Up” to dreamy new territory, entrapping Egyptrixx’s synths in classically jackin 808s while their singer Tiombe Lockhart provides the EP’s second original vocal.
