Octavate drop their ‘Spill’ EP on Counterpoint Recordings

Counterpoint Recordings presents ‘Spill’, the upcoming EP by British-Danish duo Octavate.

Stepping further into the scene, Octavate have crafted a signature style that blends meticulous sound design with unique musical progression, all while maintaining a strong focus on groove. Their trademark sound—marked by bold switch-ups, unexpected details, and twisted vocal treatments—is one we believe will soon be turning heads across the scene.

‘Spill’, the EP’s title track, brings a jump-up groove with a raw, dancefloor-ready energy. Deep-voiced vocal hits, an electric bassline, and cinematic drum-break transitions tie the track together, delivering something both sleazy and effortlessly cool. It’s a proper rave weapon, built for impact.

With ‘Kill Em’ and ‘Spill’ setting the stage, the ‘Spill’ EP lays down a bold statement of intent. Across four tracks, Octavate balance a sense of dread and tension with stratospheric soundscapes and razor-sharp, groove-driven drumwork. Precision-engineered sound design, dramatic switch-ups, and warped vocal textures make for a release that’s as forward-thinking as it is dancefloor-ready.

Adding further depth to the project is a special remix of ‘Detritus’, originally created as a collaboration between the two members of Octavate—Exult and Coop. Deep, bass-heavy, and atmospheric, it revisits their sonic roots, showcasing their early creative process.

With a futuristic aesthetic and a sound that feels both current and ahead of its time, Octavate are cementing their place in the Drum & Bass underground. The ‘Spill’ EP isn’t just a milestone—it’s a statement of intent from a duo who are only getting started.

Today we premiere ‘Keep Me From The Light’ which you can check out below. Octavate drop their ‘Spill’ EP on Friday 7th February, you can grab copy here!
