New D ‘n’ B Releases
LIGHTLESSLP002 Homefree – Fanu Lightless Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 3
Junglist. Samplist. Breakbeat aficionado. Passionate DJ. Avid music lover. Those are some of the descriptions that fit Fanu. While living in the rather dark and cold North of Finland, he got into the jungle thing in the mid-nineties – soon after hearing some electronic music during the earlier years of the decade. Around that time, he also started experimenting with electronic music and sampling for the first time. “I lived in a small countryside town, where I didn’t really have anything better to do. My friends exposed me to some early electronic stuff and I was blown away immediately. Soon I found myself trying to emulate the tracks I heard, sampling, layering and combining all kinds of different sounds.” But it wasn’t until he heard jungle that he knew there’d be no turning back: The long awaited second album by Finlands Fanu. Be sure to check out what the breaks maestro has been cooking up in the studio!

SW006 Murder Sound – Dub-One Scientific Wax 12″ Vinyl
Scientific Wax are proud to present Dub-One’s debut 12” on Scientific Wax. The A side sees Dub-One bringing the styles that he’s carved himself a reputation for – Murder Sound combines fierce Amen edits, heavy bass, and dub vibes. On the other side, the beat butcher flips the script with the deep, rolling, and soulful Never Forget, and a third bonus track in the shape of Enforcer (written with LT) exploring the bass terrain of dubstep…

BS1017 Cienfuegos – Davide Carbone BS1 12″ Vinyl
‘Cienfuegos’: One hundred _fires in Spanish, and also one of the coolest Cuban cities. Parallels between the word and the track are hard to find, although if somewhere was burning down, the apocalyptic residue would sound something like this. ‘Deep, deep, deep’ is how some of the scenes most eulogised producers have called it. The oldest of pure analogue bass shaped using the newest techniques means this tune stands apart. Like the old days. Listen to it loud. ‘Radionuclide’ is more fun than you bargained for. Proper cutting 70‘s layered bass, over some original lead sound design and you have a bouncer that forces a smile on even those six feet under. The vocal stabs give it character and de_nition and the beats drive it to unrecognisable speeds. Musical, warm and bangin’. BS1 017 – The place to be.
a Davide Carbone – Cienfuegos
b Davide Carbone – Radionuclide

New D ‘n’ B PROMOS
NZ009 Timeslip – Cern Samurai Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Samurai Music returns with yet another heavyweight kiwi talent Cern, for his debut release on the label. Cern has spent the last few years blazing a trail of intricate tech flavoured funk on labels like Critical, Renegade Hardware, Symptom, Shady Brain, Fokuz and is currently working on a future project for Concord Dawns’ Uprising label. ‘Timeslip’ treats the tech step template like a jagged worn jigsaw, taking it’s pieces, sharpening them into potent weaponry and forcing them into new sequences. Shuddering sliding rhythms pound their ingenious funk with the soaring Reese in the second breakdown never failing to draw cheers of delight from appreciative dancefloors. ‘Eastern Gates’ is a subtle rolling slice of funk, laden with a gorgeous eastern female vocal that saunters over what has become a trademark tech groove from Mr Cern. DJ Support from DJ Hype, D Bridge, State Of Mind, Concord Dawn, and many more.

ACRE012 Fall – Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox Black Acre Records 12″ Vinyl
Clocking in here for the first time since their warmly received debut on Hemlock, Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox jerk the Black Acre steering wheel sharply left into a murky new trajectory. Fall, an ode to the autumnal onset features the lush sound textures that have become the Manc super team’s calling card. Kicking off as a horn blasting bass-lead 130 skanker, Fall proceeds to hoodwink the listener with haunted soul and anomalous artefacts buried deep in the sampledelic mist. A thin line is deftly navigated in combining the muscular low-end with an enriching sound palate, stimulating both body and synapse. Lo-Fi-Ve, walks a longer more arduous path, masquerading initially as a sinuous dose of future garage, the clipped snares and 808 boom will have you on your feet quicker than the ice cream truck. Ever the curve ball pitchers, a Hitchcockian twist abruptly takes us into the obscure. Distant horns and warping bass are bathed in the UV glare of bubbling operatic synth-work climaxing in a cascade of citric sound. Support: Jamie Vex’d, Bobby Friction, TRG, Untold, Geiom, DJ Yoda, Pangaea, Kid Kameleon. Reviews: DJ, Mixmag, Wire, IDJ

NOPPA004 Zzzapaah – Distinction & Kromestar Noppa Records 12″ Vinyl
Tes La Rok is one of the masters of the dancefloor sound, inspiring movement without the need for cheap tricks, and here invites Distinction and Kromestar to flex their might on his Noppa imprint. Splurting electro synths and raw male “Zappah” vocals introduce the A, with a choice selection of bass bulges and laser wobbles firing off over the tuff beats and incidental drum edits. Tes himself gets involved on the B, with dread samples fading beneath the militant LFOs and relentless percussion. Words care of Diccon [iDJ Magazine - issue #116]

HDB022 Wind It Up – Mark Pritchard Ft. Om’mas Keith HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Mark Pritchard is a highly respected electronic artist whose extensive pedigree of solo and joint productions includes names such as Harmonic 313, Global Communication, Reload, Jedi Knights and Link. Om’mas Keith is a member of the cosmically sleazy Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Their inspired collaboration on ‘Wind It Up’ took shape in mid 2008 and is finally being released on Hyperdub after building a strong following on dubplate, igniting audiences on dancefloors across the planet. ‘Wind It Up’ synthesises some of Hyperdub’s recent tricks into a bubbling compound of Mark’s pressurised electrofunk, and the futuristic off-beat synth-hop shuffle of Om’mas, with the essential catalysing X element of the Sa- Ra don’s gravel-voiced lyrics. In high DJ demand since the start of the year, ‘Wind It Up’ is a fun and forward-looking dose of transatlantic synergy that’s as unique as it is danceable. Reception to the tune in clubs worldwide has been explosive, and it’s already firmly established as an anthem at 1 Xtra DJ Benji B’s hype Deviation nights. Add in the flipside Freak Mix, which raises echoes of Goblin and John Carpenter’s tingling synthetic atmospherics, plus an instrumental rub, and the result is a hugely anticipated release.

ARG025 Rock Like This – Matty G Argon Records 12″ Vinyl
Old skool master Matt G returns after an all to long hiatus with 2 slices of b-boy infused dubstep. ‘Rock Like This’ takes vintage vocal samples and camouflages them in a production pinned together by slow, loping beats and steel drum hooks. Continuing in the chopped & screwed dub mode is ‘The Scratch The Bass’, whose 808 cowbells bring a little electro heritage to an otherwise very modern urban sound.
