Manchester Producer Gudj Drops Two-Track Deep Protocol EP on laminim

Manchester-based producer Gudj dropped the two-track Deep Protocol EP on 14 February 2026 via laminim, a digital-only release that the label lists as exclusively distributed by © laminim ™2026. The release page and SoundCloud entry present the EP as a concentrated statement of minimalism, naming the tracks "Deep protocol" and "Revelations" and offering a "Free download exclusively available:" alongside a strict copyright notice.

Laminim’s SoundCloud copy frames Gudj as a figure in the underground, writing, "We’re back at laminim with Gudj, the Manchester-based artist pushing once again the frontiers of the minimal sound to incredible heights." The same release copy adds that "He has become a staple name in the underground electronic music industry among those who truly understand the art of minimal and techno," positioning the EP as part of Gudj’s ongoing output for late-night selectors.

The opening cut, listed on the release as "Gudj - Deep protocol," receives front-line billing in the promotional text. The SoundCloud and Instagram copy state, "'Deep Protocol' opens the EP with a rolling, hypnotic groove that slowly unfolds through layers of subtle percussion and textured basslines." That description is carried further in the release language: "Designed for the deeper hours of the night, it’s an unforgettable journey through rhythm and restraint, a perfect tool for selectors who understand the power of minimalism."

The second track, "Gudj - Revelations," is described as a more introspective counterpoint, with the release noting, "'Revelations' follows with a more introspective yet equally driving approach, blending deep vocals and warm tones with intricate grooves." SoundCloud frames the piece as revealing "Gudj’s deeper emotional palette, meditative, refined, and meticulously structured," and as connecting "with the more reflective side of the dance floor, where emotion and motion intertwine."

Production-focused language appears throughout the release page copy; the label emphasizes "stripped-back arrangements" and textural percussion as key features of the EP’s sound. The promotional text explicitly targets DJs and dedicated listeners, stating, "This track is built for those who value precision and atmosphere over excess, speaking directly to the perfectionists of the underground."

On distribution and legal terms, the SoundCloud listing presents a clear copyright and usage statement: "This digital release is exclusively distributed by © laminim ™2026. All rights reserved. Unauthorized reproduction is a violation of applicable laws. To avoid copyright infringement, please do not re-upload this content to other channels." Note that capitalization varies across sources - the EP appears as Deep Protocol EP in some materials and the track as "Deep protocol" in the SoundCloud tracklist - but the release date, track names, exclusive distribution by laminim, and the free-download note are consistent across the label’s public copy.
