Six tracks, six artists, dug out of Aotearoa's underground.
Undercuts Vol.1 is the first various-artists compilation from SLUMCUTS — a
snapshot of where the country’s underground is heading: bass-led, restless, and
unbothered by genre lines. The tempo climbs from 140 to 170, moving through
garage, footwork, dubstep, breakbeat, halftime and drum & bass without ever
settling into one place. What ties it together isn’t a sound so much as an
attitude — raw, forward-facing, and built for sound systems and late rooms.

Named after the Filipino word for fever, Kalintura is built around rising temperature and urgency — sharp drums, dark momentum and a physical club energy. Intense, humid, and slightly unstable in the best way.
Artist NZ-based producer making high-energy underground club music around 160 BPM — heavy bass, detailed sound design. Draws on footwork, bass and breakbeat, folding Filipino cultural textures into a forward-thinking club context. Previous release: "Escrima".
A high-energy 140 garage cut built on uplifting melodies and rolling drums. Punchy percussion, warm basslines and soaring vocals capture freedom and positivity — equal parts late-night dancefloor and summer festival.
Artist Southland-based garage and house producer representing the next wave of Aotearoa's underground dance music. From four-to-the-floor grooves to shuffled 2-step, delivering bass-heavy tracks built for the floor.
A cheeky 160 BPM bass attack nodding to footwork, jungle and drum & bass. Dirty vocal chops lend a naughty attitude, but at its core it stays a relentless percussive workout.
Artist Ōtautahi producer & DJ working across bass, breakbeat, footwork, techno and electro, with a focus on gritty rhythm and big low-end. Contributions to The Big Fresh Collective, a 2024 EP on Club Unique, and regular sets across Aotearoa including Kōwhai Grove and Twisted Frequency.
A heavyweight 140 dubstep roller of twisting textures, warping basslines and groove switches. Deep subs meet gritty sound design — a celebration of the weird, the wild and the unapologetically different. Made in Aotearoa. Built for sound systems.
Artist Producer from the top of the South Island shaping a sound that sits outside the box — abstract, narrative-driven, open to interpretation. Pulls from 90s alternative rock and grunge, blended with forward-thinking electronics. Releases on Samara Beats, Onset Audio, Rooster Records and Offish Productions.
A slowly rising, meditatively intense journey. The first section is a prison — a steady trance, repetitive and predictable. The second is the escape, breaking its hold and resolving everything through chaos. Unlike Blanqui's prison, this track finds a way out of eternal repetition.
Artist Producer from Whakatū whose influences span genres, philosophical and existential exploration, and absurd takes on how the work comes into being. A sound that sits outside traditional electronic music, playing with genre rather than fixating on one.
Tight, skittering percussion over a rolling bassline and spacious, expansive terrain. Techy production steeped in gritty atmosphere — a track that feels conjured from another realm, plunging the listener into arcane sonic depths.
Artist NZ producer focused on deep, spacious drum & bass and halftime. Tight, clean production with an ear for detail and a darkly ethereal atmosphere — rolling basslines, weighty sound design, and plenty of ear candy. Fresh off the Umberroot EP (April 2026).
