DIGITAL RELEASE - https://bit.ly/DRTBX097
Los Angeles duo LMNOP joins Dirtbox Recordings with the `No Strings EP` delivering three tracks of upfront bass heavy drum & bass.
Built around grumbling basslines and heavy dancefloor grooves, the release also features Birmingham UK Grime artist Mayday, connecting two acts with strong identities rooted in their respective cities.
Known as the “Kingstanding Captain”, Mayday draws on the garage mixes he grew up hearing and a wider interest in international music. His Awful Lotta Birmingham mixtape brought together the city’s emerging Grime generation in 2025, helping establish him as a prominent voice in the scene.
LMNOP brings together producer and DJ Zach Schwartz and his partner LIL Z. Their live performances see Zach mixing one-handed while puppeteering LIL Z with the other, a technique informed by his studies in acting and puppetry at the California Institute of the Arts. The partnership gives their shows a distinct personality, with character performance and crowd interaction built around their own productions.
In 2025, Hedex personally selected LMNOP to open his Hollywood Palladium show through the My Home Is The Rave competition. An all-original set introduced the duo to a wider audience, followed by appearances alongside Andy C and Rudimental and a performance at Beyond Wonderland SoCal After Hours 2026. Their second album, PSYOP, arrived on Play Me Records in January 2026.
Now for the music - The Opener and title track “No Strings” brings an old-fashioned cinematic vocal into the mix, evoking the atmosphere of a vintage samurai film. Beneath it, throaty frog bass and rolling percussion deliver another substantial dose of LMNOP’s jump up sound.
Next up is “The Program” featuring Mayday with a commanding vocal performance. The Birmingham MC’s bars hit throughout, giving the track a persistent energy over huge frog bass and heavyweight drums. It is the EP’s most vocal-led cut, bringing Mayday’s Grime delivery firmly into LMNOP’s dancefloor territory.
We close off the EP with “Mad” which completes the outing with a gritty US-style roller. Growling bass and driving drums keep the focus on the groove, introducing the weight and character that run throughout the EP.
With the No Strings EP, LMNOP brings that growing momentum to Dirtbox Recordings, pairing their West Coast jump up sound with a strong Birmingham contribution from Mayday.
