about

With the success of their collaborative project VLTRN, Dead Zodiac and Profane have decided to put their individual efforts into solo careers but that doesn't mean their unbreakable relationship will take a backseat. Their forthcoming 'Entrapment' EP on Santoku Records is a perfect example of this, bringing the artists together for a set of brand new records which already raises the bar for their changing directions. Hailing from Australia, they've brought a variety of different influences into their music, which can be seen throughout the EP's every offering. They also feature Russian drum & bass stalwart Tobax, who brings the countries almost impossibly high production standards into his remix of 'Apocalypse', a collaboration Dead Zodiac and Profane previously created as VLTRN. He adds a welcome twist alongside MC Hijak's grimy vocals, with the track having rose to notoriety as part of Santoku's 'Atarashi Chi' LP.

Already being established and respected DJs within their own right, the energy demonstrated across every track comes as no surprise. The award-winning pair bring the heat for opening track 'Entrapment'. With sweeping atmospherics and jutting percussion, it begins to weave a trap before you're fully submerged within it's heaving bassline, which flips and dips between every crumbling break.

'Time Chase' follows similar chaotic patterns, with a freefalling drop that moves you straight into the chaos. The track is fast paced, exploding head first into steadily grating drum layers and quickly flipping beats. Coming next is 'Demon', which cleverly lends itself to its name through an ethereal introduction which suddenly explodes on impact, kicking harder and harder on top of its moodily driving bassline. The Tobax remix then contorts the structure of 'Apocalypse' and gives it the blood which surges through all of Tobax's intimidating, heavyweight cuts, presenting the final explosion given a platform by the EP.

As a package, it exemplifies the darker side of Santoku's formula, highlighting their stellar discography which has a high-level of engineering and features the type of music which causes absolute dancefloor devastation. And this is what makes the imprint so revered from Europe to the US. It encompasses a full spectrum of sound, bringing forward the very best of their scene's talent.
