Some artists ease their way onto a label. Others arrive like a bass-heavy meteor through the roof. The ‘Wormhole’ EP is very much the latter, as Hexa crash lands with his first full release on Phase Records DNB and immediately makes it clear this is where his sound belongs. No warm-up required. No soft launch. Just four tracks of raw, high-pressure Drum & Bass designed for dark rooms, sweating ceilings and systems pushed well past sensible limits.
Hexa is one of those names that sneaks up on you. You might not clock the alias straight away, but you will recognise the damage. With releases scattered across Trust Audio, TrES-2b, Neksus, Sofa Sounds, Incurzion, DeVice, Souped Up, and well beyond, Harry’s fingerprints are already all over modern Drum & Bass. His catalogue stretches deep into rollers, minimal, jump-up-leaning pressure and stripped-back club weapons, always with that unmistakable swing and low-end intent. Phase Records DNB now becomes a regular home for that sound, and it feels like a natural fit.
The ‘Wormhole’ EP does exactly what it says on the tin. It pulls the listener into a warped sonic dimension where groove and aggression happily coexist. The drums hit hard but stay loose, full of movement and that unmistakable acoustic feel Hexa is known for. Nothing feels overcooked. Everything snaps. The basslines are filthy, rude and unapologetically in-your-face, the kind of low-end that turns basements feral and sends warehouse crowds into reload territory.
There is a real sense of balance across the EP. Each track brings its own personality, but the energy stays consistent throughout. These are tools built for DJs who like their sets rolling, swinging and dangerous. The kind of records that sit perfectly between deeper rollers and more upfront dancefloor moments, bridging gaps and keeping floors locked.
Hexa is not flying solo on this mission either. Longtime collaborators Parallel and Leaf step in to add their own flavours, turning the EP into a proper team effort. Parallel brings weight and atmosphere, while Leaf injects rawness and attitude, keeping everything firmly rooted in underground Drum & Bass culture. Together, the trio deliver a project that feels cohesive, confident and purpose-built for clubs, rooftops and late-night sessions that blur into early mornings.
Most importantly, this release marks the start of something bigger. The ‘Wormhole’ EP is not a one-off. It is a statement of intent. Phase Records DNB is now a permanent base for Hexa, and this EP sets the tone for what is to come. These dubs have already been doing serious damage in sets, and the wider release is only going to amplify that energy. Lock in, step through the portal and get ready for more.
