THE MICROCOSM FINALE.

Amenta (@amenta.world ) emerges from the shadows this month to host a killer year-end party spanning two rooms. On the Saturday the 27th make your way to @apothekamanila and bring the energy and good vibes with you, because it’ll be a quintessentially “Amenta” night—techno, rave, jungle, and more. Expect direct neural stimulation from thumping four on the floor kicks, structure rupturing basslines, and snare rolls fresh from the breakbeat bakery.

We’ll be redlining the BPM meter with this party, so come join us to seal off 2025. DM @apothekamanila to lock in your tables! *apologies for the typo in the poster animation, the party is happening this December not in 2026!

The contest winner is here? . . . Squared // Math personified. Riding the waves of the dance floor, he calculates every drop, curve, and kick with precision, a multi-genre tactician bending BPMs to his will. Skeptics // A forward thinking multi-disciplinary artist, producer and DJ with early influences from skateboarding culture — dub, hiphop, jazz instrumentals. From there his curiosity grew and he explored more genres such as house, UKG, jungle, deep minimal, future beats, baile-funk, world, and more. He’s also a co-founder and creative director of “New Levels”, a creative collective that hosts events and experiences that celebrate and push diverse music selections.

Jungle crew, breakbeat crew, listen up, Amenta wants one of YOU to play at their next event at @apothekamanila which will be taking place on Saturday the 27th of December! Steps to enter the contest: 1. Record a 30-minute DJ set that is jungle/breakbeat/breakcore adjacent 2. Send a DM to @amenta.world saying you’re interested in entering, and we’ll send you a form to fill out 3. Submit your set through the form before 9PM on December 4th 4. Wait for the contest winner announcement on December 10 Big up everyone, looking forward to hearing your sets!

Some of you may be familiar with the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU), an experimental collective of philosophers, writers, and artists that formed at the University of Warwick in 1995, with members including Nick Land, Sadie Plant, Kodwo Eshun, Mark Fisher, and Kode9. But did you know that jungle music was a crucial part of the CCRU? As a high-tempo, breakbeat-driven form of electronic music genre emerging from London’s Black and working-class scenes in the early 90’s, it was seen by the CCRU as a living example of cybernetic culture in action. In Kodwo Eshun’s 1998 book “More Brilliant Than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction”, he describes Jungle as a self-organising system, constantly remixing itself, mutating through pirate radio, dub plates, and sample culture. A kind of sonic cybernetics. The breakbeat was seen as a temporal anomaly, disrupting linear time, a theme that overlaps with CCRU’s obsession with time loops, hyperstition, and nonlinear futures. They saw jungle not just as music, but as a manifestation of posthuman intelligence. Culture made by and for machines, humans, and something beyond both. You can read into the works of the CCRU on their website /syzygy.htm I’ve included excerpts of some tracks that I feel embody various concepts developed in the CCRU world. Slide 3: Dead Man’s Chest - Avalon Dub (2017) Slide 4: Source Direct - Stonekiller (1997) Slide 5: Dom & Roland - Can’t Punish Me (2000) Slide 6: Dillinja - The Angels Fell (1995)

Warming up the main room on October 4 we had @ddetalyee with a hypnagogic techno set, delivering deep selections and trance inducing blends throughout. — full video link in bio
