Belfast artist Son Zept will release his new album, 'A', this Friday 31st January. 

Set for release on Belfast multi-disciplinary label, Resist-AV, the album swerves from distorted ambience and tape-hiss adorned accordions to full-throttle jungle breaks and techno, it's a typically diverse collection from the artist. Evoking the likes of Lee Gamble, Aphex Twin and AQXDM, 'A' is immense and rewarding, with more than enough delicacy and emotional poise to ensure it stands out. 

Beijing-based producer Numbertheory will release his debut EP, ‘Horrible’, via Cork’s SESH FM this Friday 29th November. 

Inspired by his teenage love for extreme metal, as well as trips to London to visit Evian Christ’s Trance Party and NKC’s Even The Strong hard drum parties, the two original cuts on ‘Horrible’ fuse elements of noise, techno and ambient with harsh metal tropes.
