BRIG013 The Greatest Thing – D Kay & DJ Lee Brigand Music 12″ Vinyl
We would be lying if we said we weren’t a bit bias when it comes to all things D.Kay, so it should likely come as no shock or surprise that when asked the question ‘Do you think D.Kay’s newest 12” out on Brigand is a hit?” the answer that we have no choice to reply with is a resounding YES! The deep, low end bass of ‘The Greatest Thing’, with DJ Lee, has just enough grit to it rock the damncefloor as welll as Radio 1. The percussion on this one gets an A+ for sure, with an honorable mention going to the double claps. Lastly, a half time breakdown always does a track good, and this one is without a doubt no exception. Raw.full joins D.Kay on ‘Sequential Circuit’ but this one is a 180 of the flip – tearing amens, hard hitting bass make this one an amen smasher – and it’s this tracks completely different direction that make not only it, but this 12” in general, solid all around. D.Kay does a great job at bringing it rough. Fact.

DW01 On A Mission – Smooth, Rregula & Dementia DrumWise 12″ Vinyl
DrumWise is not new in the field of drum and bass and first release is only a step on the path. On a mission tells what essentially its all about. With rhythm sections coming in from the start, this collaboration with the rising Slovenian hope Smooth and already established Dementia and Rregula, gives no space to breathe. Intro disco feeling, goes to crunchy uncompromised bass in and after the dropdown, and with disowned vocal in the back it creates a proper dancefloor smasher. On the other side, Slave from Smooth, reprogrammed by legendary Nookie is deeper than deep and crossed with huge bass line presha.

LAB007 Revelation – Truth Aquatic Lab Records 12″ Vinyl
LAB007 – Truth Revelation Lost at Sea 12″ Vinyl and digital released mid July 2009 The next Aquatic Lab release touches down in the form of Revelation and Lost At Sea, backing up last release with two more fresh productions from New Zealand’s Truth.Revelation is a complex arrangement of layered percussion and broad soundscaping techniques. This track has to be heard to be believed, perfectly proportioned production coupled with a devastating bassline making it primed for the draw back. On the flip, Lost At Sea arrives at another crossing point between dubstep experimentalism by expertly fusing dub chords with deep kickstep syncopations. Riding over ridiculous amounts of rolling sub weight, dislocated vocal effects create a dusty jazz style that’s finding favour with a forward thinking audience. Massive Plate.

EAR011 The Blues – I.D. & Skinnz Earwax 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Earwax steps a little deeper for their next outing on vinyl with 2 killer tracks from new names on the dubstep scene -production duo Skinnz & I.D. ‘The Blues’ is a deep and tribal affair laiden with warm muffled pads and gut wrenching soudsystem subs. The heavily swung conga workout that forms a backbone to the rhythm is both hypnotic and energising and quickly conjures images of a late night tribal gethering around a voodoo bonfire! As the track works into a breakdown it resurfaces, touched with a gentle melodic layer akin to Mala circa 2005. Quality dance music for your mind and feet! Flip for ‘Issues’ as the duo show in one release the breadth of their skills with this soulful roller. Combining a driving 2step beat with playful congas, a diving bassline and muted housey stabs – this rhythm swings from dark smokey corners into skanking, grooving party vibes.
a I.D. & Skinnz – The Blues
b I.D. & Skinnz – Issues

BASSHEAD003 Killing Time – Noah D & Einstein Basshead Music 12″ Vinyl

More recently he has been making noise in the dubstep scene since dropping Examination of Time with Babylon System on Argon in 2008. Since then his profile and workflow have increased and he has numerous releases on labels such as Subway, Earwax, + Thought and many more. After sending us the original instrumental of Killing Time Noah explained he was interested in working with Dancehall artists in Jamaica and Einstein’s name was mentioned. We were into the idea so Einstein’s manager was aproached and he agreed to work with us on the project. After long negotiations Einstein got into the studio in Kingston, Jamacia and layed down the vocals then sent them back to Noah who added the finishing touches creating a dancefloor monster fusing Einstein’s aggressive vocals and Noah’s crisp production and deep bass. Once that was done we called in one of the drum and bass scenes most popular producers “Break” to perform remix duties. He did Killing Time justice and his heavyweight remix has been a favourite of dj’s such as Andy C, Dj Marky and Friction. Our aim at Basshead Music is to amalgamte styles and cultures into musical forms. Expect the unexpected

Here they bring us a bit of their dark Russian vibes in ‘Drumstick’ and ‘Swoosh’. A – DRUMSTICK Squeaking synths and vocodered SFX are the order of the day in ‘Drumstick’, and the tune drops into a wobbly b-line number with plenty of grimy beats and retro sounding sampling. Giant keep it stripped back for the rest of the ‘Drumstick’, with great effect. With heavy subs and intensely dark bass, expect to be blown away by the sheer intensity of this ‘Drumstick’. AA – SWOOSH If that’s not enough for you, then ‘Swoosh’ over to the flip for more heavy beats. An alarm siren wails for the first ten seconds, grabbing your attention, before the main beat and wobby b-line kick in and the layers of sound build up. Experimental, with jingling sounds, percussion and vocodered clips, the tune swooshes in and out, focusing on different sounds at different times. Top notch – this is going be beyond big, it’s going to be GIANT!
