RA.1052 The Bug

The titan of UK bass delivers a head trip through dub’s past, present and future, one year on from RA.1000.Time has a way of slipping through the fingers. A year ago, RA.1000 marked the 1,000th release in the RA Mix series. Now, 52 weeks on, we’ve arrived at RA.1052—and first up is Kevin Richard Martin, AKA The Bug, finally making his long-awaited debut on the series. Ask anyone who’s stood within earshot of a soundsystem he’s operating: Martin doesn’t so much make music as engineer entire weather systems. His music demands total immersion, from the earthquake-like bass weight of anthems like “Skeng” and “Poison Dart” to the post-apocalyptic pull of his slower steppers. As he told RBMA in 2018: “The more music becomes relegated to a cheap accessory, the less people will realise there’s great magic in music as a form.” For his RA Mix debut, Martin delivers “nocturnal dives into the city with memories of Blade Runner on repeat.” A tribute to PRESSURE, his Berlin night, RA.1052 runs through Porter Ricks, Dillinja and Tikiman, charting dub’s kaleidoscopic range — from Basic Channel’s minimalism to K Wata’s sleek bass science. A year ago, RA.1000 looked back on two decades since 2006. RA.1052 picks up the torch and keeps walking. See you here again next year.

Sacred Secret – A Shot of Consciousness

Out next on IONO Music we have Sacred Secret with his latest two-track EP “Monkey Business” With Emotional Damage and A Shot of Consciousness, Sacred Secret presents two contrasting yet complementary perspectives on the progressive psytrance experience. Emotional Damage explores the darker edges of the mind through deep rolling basslines, hypnotic grooves, and evolving atmospheres that build tension without losing momentum. In contrast, A Shot of Consciousness opens the door to clarity, delivering uplifting energy, shimmering textures, and a sense of forward motion that feels both immersive and liberating. Together, the two tracks form a balanced journey between introspection and awakening, showcasing Sacred Secret’s ability to blend emotional depth with dancefloor-focused precision.
