Blending jump-up energy with dancefloor firepower, the EP packs punchy basslines, razor-sharp production and enough forward momentum to keep soundsystems rattling long after closing time.

Leading the charge is title track Moves, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Alicia King, adding a soulful spark to Rowney's precision-engineered low-end assault, while Serial Killaz themselves add another layer of firepower to Rowney's kung-fu inspired classic Very Strong. Across all four cuts, the Moves EP showcases an artist with a keen ear for dancefloor dynamics, delivering a collection that balances raw impact with infectious groove.

Moves EP lands on Serial Killaz Recordings on 10th July 2026.

Built for crowded rooms and late-night sets, the EP leans into chunky basslines, restless grooves and that no-nonsense energy. There’s a proper sense of momentum running through the release, shifting between grimy rollers, upfront rave tackle and sharp switch-ups that keep the whole thing lively from start to finish.

“Baseball Bat EP” doesn’t hang around in the dugout for long, with Vital & Dungeon Kru delivering a straight-to-the-point selection that keeps connecting with every swing. Call it a home run if you like, but this one’s clearly aimed squarely at the rave, another solid hit from the Serial Killaz Recordings camp.

Quote:Serial Killaz & Y.T. return with "Insane World", a heavyweight reggae-infused drum & bass workout that finds the veteran duo linking once again with one of the UK's most distinctive voices in reggae and sound system culture.

Built on a foundation of rolling jungle breaks, earth-shaking low end and deep-rooted reggae sensibilities, "Insane World" carries the unmistakable energy that has made Serial Killaz a fixture on dancefloors and sound systems around the globe. Taking centre stage is Y.T., whose commanding vocal delivery cuts through the track with equal parts urgency and conviction.

As its title suggests, "Insane World" turns its attention to the increasingly bewildering state of modern life. From endless conflicts and political double-speak to the steady stream of scandals, conspiracies and headline-grabbing controversies that dominate the news cycle, Y.T. reflects on a world that often seems to have lost its bearings. Rather than preaching, the track captures the frustration and disbelief felt by many as they try to make sense of events unfolding around them.

With "Insane World", Serial Killaz and Y.T. deliver a timely slice of reggae drum & bass that channels modern anxieties into pure dancefloor ammunition, proving once again that music can make you think while still making the speakers work overtime.

[Image: release_image.jpg?size=large]
Release Date: April 17th, 2026


Serial Killaz Recordings proudly presents The Mexican EP from jungle drum & bass heavyweight Isaac Maya, a producer whose sound has been shaking dancefloors from Mexico City to the global underground for more than two decades.

Active since the late 90s, Maya emerged from Mexico City's thriving underground and steadily carved out an international reputation with his distinctive take on jungle. Widely regarded as a pioneer of the “Dubwise Jungle” sound, his productions fuse heavyweight reggae spirit with rapid-fire breakbeats and cavernous bass pressure. The result is a style that feels both rooted in soundsystem culture and built for the modern drum & bass dancefloor.

With The Mexican EP, Isaac Maya leans proudly into his heritage while keeping the jungle energy firmly locked in. Across four tracks he threads unmistakable Mexican flavours through his trademark rhythmic assault, blending rolling breaks, dubwise basslines and infectious groove with a touch of Latin character.

Landing on Serial Killaz Recordings this April, The Mexican EP is a vibrant cross-cultural excursion through jungle and drum & bass, packed with rhythm, heritage and heavyweight low-end pressure. Arriba México!]]> [size=1][Image: SKR.jpg?Expires=1830297600&Signature=N99...VD6AAQ2WGQ][/size]

I've been tracking resources (vague estimates at best, the AI companies have yet to develop an appetite to report resource usage - despite or perhaps because of the incredible drain on resources each AI query) in a bid to understand the cost of doing business as it were. Simple tasks such as filtering and comparing lists of text uses 100s of litres of water on top of the electricity, and I doubt the power to move that water to where it needed to be is taken into account.

Given the 'benefits' it gives me, yeah it can spit out a simple loop in milliseconds for a mere 205 litres, but so can I. The things I could really use  assistance with are usually super complicated programming problems. Every single one of these it has been presented with has been an utter waste of time. The first round of responses will suggest things already attempted and discarded, if you can break it out of this loop it might hallucinate some more solutiony looking type stuff - often in a different direction than your prompt or codebase indicates. If you can convince it to refresh its context and not suggest things its already suggested you're doing well, but no dice, it'll now tell you computers dont exist or the language you're using doesn't support the thing. 

In my complicated codebase AI simply cannot cut it. I never had to explain any of these things more than once to the graduates and apprentices who have appeared in the team over the yrs and they are able to learn and make meaningful contributions. With Copilot it seems I explain it allot and am yet to profit from a meaningful contribution in return. 

My company appear to be quite happy with me spending 1/3 of my time berating an AI assistant (Basil Fawlty style), and encourage it further. I've made my view clear lol so what the actual fuckery is going on? As far as i'm aware the copilot seat is £10k annually... whereas its actual worth so far is less than £100...  I cannot see how the investors in AI will make any money at all once people realise its best applications - sifting through gargantuan quantities of data and making inferences, and being a human-esque chatbot - have already been met. 

Secondly if the shoe is on the other foot, these genius investors must have done the maths and figured out that once deployed at scale and integrated everywhere (despite the neglible benefits) the data centres will require more water than exists in nature... And i'm not sure where the heat from these data centres will actually go? Oh yeah the environment!! - so locking in a second wave of planet heating, straight after the fossil fuel wave. Just fucking great. I thought these people were supposed to be intelligent.

p.s. I've found appending "NO AI" to my web searches mostly suppresses the AI summary bullshit you get served.]]>
