SEEK REFUGE_10.04.2025_DRUM & BASS_JUNGLE_FUTURE MUSIC with Gremlinz, Homemade Weapons, Kay-S, Hosted by: Blak
Refuge closes out it's 2025 season with Toronto-based producer and DJ Gremlinz, newly-minted resident Homemade Weapons, and co-founder Kay-S on opening duties. Blak returns to celebrate both his and Kay-S' birthdays and to bless the mic on a properly rowdy night full of depth charge bass and razor sharp percussion.
Gremlinz_
Toronto-based producer and DJ Gremlinz brings a straightforward, no-frills approach to his sets, focusing on raw energy and subtle groove. His unique sound and style have earned him a loyal following worldwide, and his affiliation with Loxy & Ink’s HORSEMENcollective has further solidified his place among some of the genre's most forward-thinking artists.
Gremlinz has released music on a range of respected labels including Metalheadz, Architecture Recordings, Renegade Hardware, 31 Records, Cylon, Rupture, AMAR, and Paradox Music. His versatility is evident in his broad range of output, from breakbeat-heavy tracks to atmospheric, dubby half-step grooves—always pushing the boundaries of Drum & Bass while staying true to his roots.
Gremlinz co-founded UVB-76 Music alongside fellow producers Ruffhouse, a label committed to pushing the boundaries of bass music. UVB-76’s success led to the creation of several offshoots: Droogs (co-run with Overlook), 4 6 2 5, and The Stone Tapes (curated by Overlook & Vega Ruffhouse). Each of these labels continues to draw a global audience eager for innovative, cutting-edge sounds.
In addition to UVB-76, Gremlinz, co-founded Shark with Laser on Head Recordings, an imprint dedicated to more experimental and avant-garde music, as well as The Lee Garden Historical Preservation Society (T.L.G.H.P.S), a conceptual project that blends elements of dub, ambient, and Drum & Bass to explore new soundscapes.

Homemade Weapons_
Homemade Weapons’ approach to percussive bass driven music tiptoes the boundaries of Jungle, Drum-N-Bass, and Techno, oftentimes finding itself in mixed genre presentations for its singularity. Homemade Weapons style is defined with classic jungle break edits as rapid fire emphasis tools on top of mood-soaked, kick drum rhythms. These elements combined with his trademark dub inclusions set Homemade Weapons aside in a music scene bursting with fresh talent.
Homemade Weapons made his early impressions in 2013, with his acclaimed Kintaro EP; as one of the few spearheading the driving, minimal, half-time Drum-N-Bass movement. Over the years Homemade Weapons has ceaselessly refined his craft, proving his fearsome reputation and reinforcing his arsenal.
Recently, Homemade Weapons has celebrated the end of his “Weaponry” label with a three part collection titled the ‘disarm’ series. The series features his own productions as well as inspiring works from and with his contemporaries. 2025 brings forth more artistic and conceptual exploration with a new label, “Weaponist.”
