Homemade Weapons - Ataxia / Ataxia (Red Army Remix)

A barrage of distorted drums punctuate the latest offering from one of our earliest generals. Unmatched in his distinctive style which helped spawn an entire sub-genre, Homemade Weapons returns to Onset Audio with 'Ataxia', encapsulating his unrelenting break-core driven production. Trusted man-at-arms Red Army counters with a remix that shifts the battle's cadence into a propulsive halftime march. A release forged in fire, furious and unyielding.

Out July 5th.

Jonah K - Shadow Work / Alia Of The Knife is out now.

Link in comments.

"Based in Toronto, Jonah K’s Shadow Work / Alia Of The Knife EP for Onset Audio packs a powerful audio punch. The mesmerizing bass attack of “Shadow Work” and its tumultuous tribal flow seamlessly transition us into “Alia Of The Knife,” another potent slow-grooving composition of ceremonial low-flying tones and textures accompanied by spastic beat work. The rhythms are blurred in the darkness. Danky’s version of “Shadow Work” creates abstract energy while delivering more profound bass thuds and muted drill’n bass rhythms. Another EP of incredibly murky electronic bliss from the ever dependable Onset Audio team."
