'Beacons' is the latest EP from Catch92, continuing the sonic direction established on his album Singularity while pushing it into a more focused and cohesive space.

Across five tracks, Beacons follows a loose journey from Peace to War, gradually shifting from chilled, hip hop inspired beats into darker, heavier and more vocal driven territory. Where Singularity explored a transition between styles and introduced a more electronic palette, 'Beacons' feels like the point where that new direction fully settles into place.

The EP opens with 'Peace', a laid back, forward thinking beat driven track with light vocals and a heavier breakdown hinting at what is to come. From there, 'Footings' introduces the first signs of tension, moving from calm beginnings into a progressively unsettled rhythm. 'Rise' pushes further into darker, bass heavy territory, while 'Beacons' itself sits at the point of ignition, its distorted instrumentation acting as both warning and signal.

The journey reaches its most abrasive point with 'War Paint'. Dominant, repetitive vocals drive the track like a war chant, creating a stark contrast with the nonchalant feel of 'Peace'. The track also marks Catch92's return to recording his own vocals after several years away from using his voice in his music. The phrase that became the track's central vocal came from a single line that appeared in his head while listening back to the track: “War Paint is a Red Stripe, warm from midnight.”

That line became the loose catalyst for the EP's wider theme, drawing on memories of rave culture and warm cans of Red Stripe pulled from the back shelves of club basements, while taking on an unintended resonance against the backdrop of a world increasingly defined by conflict and uncertainty.

'Beacons' is, in many ways, an extension of 'Singularity'. Some of the tracks were created around the same period and through similar methods, but the result is more streamlined: a consistent, clean cut sound that cements Catch92's evolving electronic direction while delivering some of his most forceful and exciting material to date.

Full Biography

Catch92 is a UK producer whose music moves between sample-driven hip-hop, downtempo electronics, UK garage and experimental beat music.

His approach was shaped by formative years immersed in the energy of DnB basements and 140 sound systems, before reconnecting with the hip-hop production that first sparked his interest in making music. Rather than settling into one fixed sound, Catch92 has continued to reshape those influences through sampling, electronic production and an instinctive approach to rhythm, texture and atmosphere.

With continued support from Folded Music, Catch92 has built growing momentum across the electronic music landscape. His work has received editorial playlist support across Apple Music and Spotify, alongside international radio play from BBC Radio 6 Music, KEXP, KCRW, FIP, Radio Campus, Jazz FM and others.

His album 'Patchwork' marked an important breakthrough. Standout track 'Anor' received more than 20 plays on BBC Radio 6 Music, while 'Break It' secured support from FIP Nouveautés and Spotify’s Chill Instrumental Beats playlist. The Warm Up EP continued that progression, receiving support from BBC Radio 6 Music, Jazz FM and Apple Music editorials including Study Beats and New in Electronic.

Catch92’s album 'Singularity' represents a further evolution in his sound, bringing together electronic experimentation, broken rhythms and the emotional weight that has remained consistent throughout his work. Lead single 'Adapt' received support from Apple Music editorials including Study Beats, New in Electronic and The Lounge. Follow-up releases 'Synergy' and 'Download' gained further editorial playlist support, while the album’s title track was selected for Apple Music’s Loops playlist alongside artists including Overmono, Fred again.. and Max Cooper.

The album also explores the changing relationship between technology and human creativity. Using generated source material as a starting point, Catch92 reshaped, sampled and reconstructed sounds through his established production process, treating technology not as a replacement for authorship but as another creative tool to question and transform.

Alongside his artist project, Catch92 is the founder of Ground Loop CIC, a community-focused initiative creating accessible music workshops, creative spaces and development opportunities. The project extends the same values found throughout his music: experimentation, connection and authentic creative expression.

Constantly evolving while retaining a distinct emotional and rhythmic identity, Catch92 continues to create music that sits between beat culture and electronic experimentation, guided by feeling rather than fixed genre.
