Unglued

Unglued sounds like a time traveler who went back to a 1994 illegal warehouse rave and brought the master tapes into a 2024 high-end studio. It is characterized by a relentless, kinetic energy that favors complex, rolling breakbeats over the more sterile, synthetic rhythms often found in modern tech-step. There is a palpable warmth to the low end, with sub-bass that feels thick and physical rather than just loud.

What sets him apart is his 'everything but the kitchen sink' approach to sampling. You will hear snippets of jazz flute, soulful vocal runs, and old-school radio chatter woven into the fabric of 174 BPM chaos. He manages to make music that is technically impressive and 'deep' enough for the heads, while maintaining a playful, almost cheeky sense of fun that works perfectly for a peak-time festival set.

Start with 'Interplanetary Radio' to hear the full breadth of his vision. It is a masterclass in how to honor the history of UK rave culture while pushing the production standards forward. If you want something more immediate, his bootleg of 'If We Ever' is the definitive example of his ability to take a classic and inject it with modern adrenaline.
