It’s far from uncommon to grab loads of free music from the pages of XLR8R, but it’s certainly not every day that we get a chance to exclusively offer you a free EP—not to mention one from an exciting artist like Bristol’s Arkist. The DJ/producer describes his Double Zero EP as “a rough history of dubstep” that explores genres like grime, garage, and dub-techno. You can nab the gratis five-track offering here, and preview one of its tunes, “Rephlex Blast,” below.
