NACO - Snakey EP
After showcasing intense, edgy breakbeats on previous releases with Scuffed Records, FeverAM, and early reflex, Kyoto-based producer Naco returns with "Snakey," his first release in two years and a long-awaited comeback on his own label, 85acid. This essential collection features four cutting-edge bass mutations that push boundaries once again. The EP opens with the title track “Snakey,” a minimal piece featuring a relentless, serpentine bassline that slithers beneath, grounding the sound in a hypnotic groove. It’s followed by "Anolon", a potent and minimal dubstep mutation, pulling the listener back to a sense of calm. In “Ows,” the energy intensifies with a stripped-back, industrial breakbeat that takes the BPM up to 155, where raw machine-like precision takes center stage. Finally, the EP closes with “Mappy,” a dancehall and hardcore-inspired offering where a simple yet addictive rhythm is layered with amen breaks and echoes of raves past. Embracing a dangerous yet lush minimalism with an intentionally restrained sound, this release also marks a first for 85acid with the label's first vinyl pressing! Learn More -
KAVAL - Pistolaser EP
Is anyone in France keyed into the sound of UK funky as sharply as Kaval?

Kaval has got plenty going on in Toulouse, where he’s riding the online airwaves with the Egregore Collective and got his name all over the Riddim Supplies series 12”s. Learn More House

NATHAN MELJA - Synesthesia EP
Drawing its name from the physiological and psychological process that results in a confusion of one's sensory perceptions, 'Synesthesia' is indeed the kind of club single that shall trigger off massive reaction amongst right-minded bipeds and chromakey house suckers. Straightforward club business done right, Melja's original is a vivid kaleidoscope of skittish drums, swampy bass stabs and a well-rounded, supremely curvy synthwork, tailored to take ravers on a flash journey through space and time without the help of Richard Branson or Elon Tusk (pun intended).

ALPHA & OMEGA FT. NAI-JAH - The Jungle Trembles (7"Inch)
Alpha & Omega, true legends of UK dub, return to ZamZam with a powerful new anthem featuring Nai-Jah from Steppas Records. The track builds over a thunderous bassline, melodica, shimmering keys, and evocative jungle textures, as Nai-Jah delivers heartfelt lyrics calling for empathy and change, singing "Money-making has filled our minds with disease." On the flipside, The Dubplate Trembles takes the vibe further, offering a classic dub extension. This latest collaboration adds to the long and storied legacy of Alpha & Omega, who, with over 30 albums, have firmly established themselves as pioneers in shaping global sound system culture.

ANDROO - Tribute To Jackie Mittoo LP
Hybrid is a word used indiscriminately in our daily lives. This record isn't a hybrid; it's beyond hybrid, post-hybrid, so to speak. Does this phrase sound complicated to you, and are you never overly convinced by music theory and its caricatural aspect? Then forget what you’ve just read and listen to both sides of this record. You'll soon realise that these tracks are deliciously deft, drawing their essence from dub while leaving room for some skillful jazz writing. For those of you intrigued by melodies, the art of musique concrète or the exploration of dub music’s deviant angles, this record will easily find its place on your turntable. Learn More Worldwide

But to truly understand the great Brazilian composer, arranger, singer and multi instrumentalist, one must listen to his music. Learn More -
