[Original EP by Hone Sound](https://honesound.bandcamp.com/album/original-ep?ref=defrostatica.com) The Copenhagen duo's contribution to footworkjungle builds on emerging slowfast sounds from 2012, as well as atmospheric breakbeat science from the '90s. Hone Sound adding offbeat dub chords and wide synth pads to meticulously crafted beats and breaks. While 'Want U' and 'Original' are centrepieces for jungle and hybrid bass club environments, 'Indigo' might be a treat for those who like to blend it with classic footwork and juke tracks. Hone Sound conclude their debut EP for Defrostatica with 'Lockdown', a haunting ode to solitude at 134 BPM. Exclusively on Bandcamp: Bonus track "Pale Light", a moody slowfast / halftime jungle track with spaced out pads, amen break outbursts and flirring synth arpeggios. ## Buy 'Original EP' *Thank you for buying our music — this is a great way to support independent artists and labels!

A very gentle and fluid ride through the tempos and styles, the warm and soulful touches of dub cut 'Indigo' ease us into the groove before 'Original' take us into more of a physical territory with graceful footwork elements weave their way into the mix. Deeper into the EP we hit darker aspects of the night; 'Want U' hits with a dub techno like attitude and plenty of cosmic elements while 'Lockdown' is pure 3am drama for the heads." | [Buy Original EP on Juno](https://www.junodownload.com/products/hone-sound-original-ep/7375325-02/?ref=defrostatica.com). ## Bandcamp Feature !["Whether dealing in atmospheric breakbeats or left-field footwork, this reliable Danish production duo never misses a beat."](https://www.defrostatica.com/content/images/2026/01/CleanShot-2026-01-18-at-18.32.14.png) [Bandcamp](https://www.bandcamp.com/?ref=defrostatica.com) New and Notable 2026 January 18th: "Whether dealing in atmospheric breakbeats or left-field footwork, this reliable Danish production duo never misses a beat." ## Stream 'Original EP' *Buying our music is the best way to support independent artists and labels.

Drawing on a wide range of inspirations from dub and techno to jazz and ambient, Hone Sound works to create their own take that will hopefully resonate beyond their own Copenhagen studio. ![](https://www.defrostatica.com/content/images/2025/12/Hone-Sound-1K.jpg) #### Hone Sound [Bandcamp](https://honesound.bandcamp.com/?ref=defrostatica.com) · [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/hone.sound?ref=defrostatica.com) · [Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/honesound?ref=defrostatica.com) 🌐 [#footworkjungle](https://www.defrostatica.com/footworkjungle/) [#hybridbass](https://www.defrostatica.com/hybridbass/) [#160bpm](https://www.defrostatica.com/160bpm/) [#170bpm](https://www.defrostatica.com/170bpm/) [#130bpm](https://www.defrostatica.com/130bpm/)
