Press Info:
Ten years ago this January I managed to get the keys to a bunker. I had been looking for a space to build a lab; a space with enough room to start new projects, invite people to collaborate on music, visual art, live performances, live streaming, and any other idea that might come along. One of the ideas I wanted to try was getting a vinyl cutting machine, a lathe, to make vinyl records in-house. I liked the DIY approach; it gave me a sense of freedom. I saw it as a way to document the things that happened in the lab, through small runs of vinyl records. I loved the idea of being able to bypass the whole label planning process and cut music to vinyl on the same day it was recorded. Over the years, many sessions and collaborations have been added to the archive this way, exclusively on limited vinyl.

Fast forward ten years, and many of those initial ideas have come to fruition. STOOR Live, Stay Home Soundsystem, Knob Twiddlers Hangout, and Pink Noise have all unfolded nicely, thanks to the involvement and energy of a growing circle of collaborators. This year the focus is on further developing the vinyl cutting and custom packaging ideas that have been evolving over time. New music is currently taking shape in the studio, with a series of releases planned for the coming months.

To kick off this new series of releases, I’m re-releasing the first two records ever to come out of the STOOR project: S1 and S2, the first two editions of the vinyl archive. At the time they were intentionally released under the obscure alias JPG, with only 50 copies made. Now they are being re-released as Speedy J, digitally and on vinyl. The vinyl editions come in the classic STOOR vinyl archive packaging: each hand-numbered copy housed in 450gsm sleeves with magnetic flaps and an info pocket, complemented by anti-static, anti-dust audiophile inner sleeves.

Press Info:
Specific Objects debuts on Life In Patterns with *Helios*, a powerful 6-track EP shaped by the pressures, ambitions, and contradictions that define creative work in a hyper-competitive society. The record explores the perpetual pursuit of success – an ever-distant horizon that inspires as much as it consumes.

Named after the sun, *Helios* symbolizes the personal goals we orient ourselves toward: radiant and motivating, yet capable of overwhelming those who chase them too closely. The EP was written during a period of intense reflection on performance culture, “hustle” mentality, and the rat race of late capitalism – an environment amplified by constant comparison on social media.

*Helios* is both a celebration and critique of ambition – a techno journey through the heat, pressure, and brilliance of striving. It is scheduled to release on February 6, 2026 on both digital and vinyl formats.

Press Info:
WIDE Records is proud to announce Debasser’s first release of 2026 entitled “Kaggs”.

This three-track EP is nothing more than a humble tribute to one of the greatest Jungle labels of all time, Joker Records. Its creation is a labour of love and has been a personal project for Debasser for some time.

Trying to capture the pure, archaic, raw, yet joyous sound of the many perfect releases that Joker put out over the years.

The EP opens with “Cricket”, borrowing from a classic late 70s cod reggae tune, it follows the anti-rules of tunes before. Teasing the listener and then dropping a bass line that is certain to raise the roof on any dance floor.

Track two follows a similar set up with “No Words”. This time taking advantage of some high-speed 80s film influences. As a tune it probably shouldn’t work, yet it clearly does.

Finally, we have “Red”, a tune that has to be heard to be believed. While that may sound pompous, it’s already had fantastic reactions from listeners. This is a tune that not only gets those feet dancing like a goon, you’ll also end up smiling like one too.

Debasser has been producing dance music since the early 2000s. His debut track was released on GTI Recordings in Detroit by Disco D. The track was quickly picked up by Richie Hawtin, leading to a release on NovaMute, followed by tracks on Seed, Balkan Vinyl, Input Output Inc., and his own WIDE Records. He was part of Andrew Weatherall’s Haywire agency, playing their parties and countless other clubs and festivals across the UK and Europe, as well as DJing on Radio 1.

With an eclectic sound and genre-bending approach, he blends jungle/ drum and bass, techno, UKG, electro, house, and anything else that catches his fancy to create an unforgettable sound, always centred around parties and bass.
