With a penchant for the obscure end of the genre, Kalane’s output leans towards a minimal vibe that is heavily influenced by industrial and techy sounds. Along with being a regular on Yamatai Records, [Kalane](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3rrJMAAhwdm2zdAiXu4QgK?si=xGeEbHeESYmv5gv0Fhj1DA) has also released his music on prestigious labels such as Trust Audio and Ekou Recordings with the most recent one coming on Bristol-based drum & bass promoter, The Juicebox.

Bringing his gnarly and aggressive style of productions to the fore for his third full appearance on the label, Kalane has delivered three exhilarating cuts of deep, dark and hypnotic drum & bass music, with the final tune of the EP being a collaboration with label boss, [Illusive](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7dLHjhQ6qgDX26g2cLIcxt?si=THQb00FTSp6j5IFX8iPydQ). The ‘We Of Them’ EP begins with ‘Ark,’ a no-nonsense drum & bass bubbler that emphasizes heavily on razor-sharp drum work and heavier bassline elements. Next tune ‘Empire Cephalopod’ amps up the pace of the EP with a pulsating intro before crashing into a militant kick-drum rhythm and intense bass hits. The title track is as unique as they come where the tune travels between minimal and jump-up territory without losing its sonic exclusivity. The final tune ‘Tungsten’ is a collaboration with Yamatai Records boss Illusive, where the pair blend their detailed and forward-thinking compositions into a tune that exemplifies Kalane’s trademark sound while underscoring the ethos Yamatai Records stands for.
