Fourier Transform (d) Ten deepens London label's minimal techno focus
Kiaki and Hijack Signal’s FTD010 pushes Fourier Transform’s London frame toward dub-heavy minimal, with four tightly cut tracks and the label’s first listening party.
Fourier Transform (d) Ten landed on June 26, 2026 with a tighter, darker read on the London label’s sound: Kiaki and Hijack Signal split four tracks between stripped-down minimal pressure and dubby low-end weight. The release keeps Fourier Transform’s underground techno-house brief intact, but it pushes the imprint further from house swing and closer to clipped, club-functional minimal.
Fourier Transform says it was formed in 2019 by JC, Wil Russell and Jon Mace, and FTD010 sits inside a numbered digital line that has already included FTD008, a remixes package released on June 13, 2025. The new set, Do It, Letting You Go, Hither feat. Abi D'Arcy and Interceptor, stays compact enough to feel built for the booth, and the label backed it with its first listening party, a small but telling move for a project that presents itself as a platform for underground techno and house.
Kiaki, identified here as Kieran Boyle, supplies the sharper edge. Fourier Transform frames Boyle’s background as tough hip-hop beats turned toward deep, dark, futuristic minimal, and that shift fits Do It, which is credited to Boyle and mastered by exm. Boyle’s April 17, 2025 single Northern Solar/And Then Some on Sprechen already placed him in a wider UK underground circuit, with Sprechen noting regular visits to its own events and Sticky Heat and previous releases on Me Me Me. This is not a fresh discovery, it is a producer already moving inside the room.
Hijack Signal, the Latvian-born Janis Leinerts-Neilands, better known as Nei, brings the dub weight. The label tags his contribution with deep dark dub-techno stabs and pulsing beats, and both Letting You Go and Interceptor are credited to Leinerts-Neilands and mastered by exm. His Bandcamp trail, from Operations in 2019 through Archives In Dub in 2023, River and Luminal Shift in 2025, Peaceful EP in 2026, and Unfolding Path on Scale Limited on March 18, 2026, shows a producer with a sustained dub-techno and minimal vocabulary rather than a one-off guest spot.
That pairing is the point. Kiaki tightens the rhythm with hip-hop muscle turned into minimal geometry, while Hijack Signal stretches the same frame into darker space. FTD010 sounds like the city’s deeper underground moving toward records that are shorter, leaner and more dub-conscious, where the payoff comes from pressure, subtraction and detail instead of obvious release.
