After a year dominated with collaborations (the Great Lengths remix double pack), fresh blood and inveterate genre renegades (Illum Sphere’s Titan EP & Altered Natives ‘The Bitch/Crop Duster’ respectively) We at 3024 came to the conclusion a new Martyn release was perhaps overdue. Not so much an album preview as a standalone document of a year spent expanding dance floor horizons over (a great many) seas.

3024’s milestone 10th release arrives in November with 2 brand new Martyn tracks as ‘Lefthander’ clatters in on heavily filtered drums, flickering high hats & garbled radio transmissions before a carousel synth melody breaks through the percussive murk accompanied by a roaming bass line that prioritises restraint over bludgeon. Dubbed out ambience rapidly takes root in the gaps between concrete snares & dissonant brass stabs as bass and synths elevate themselves for one last round of call & response sparring before dissolving back into barely audible dialogue.

Steam age industrial monolith ‘Shook Up’ swaps slink for haunted metronomic brutality, snapping quickly into focus first with relentless kicks before bass akin to an Atari2600 playing Berghain looms over the clouded horizon. Offsetting the claustrophobia is the first hints of melody as an impossibly slight piano phrase creeps in, countering rhythmical pummelling with ghost in the machine delicacy. Classically spastic 808 tendrils are underpinned by soaring synth strings as proceedings draw to a juddering close.

Capturing 3024’s musical progress with typical accuracy Erosie’s latest sleeve design is perhaps his best yet, echoing the back to basics theme with beautifully austere monochrome geometry curdling into something altogether more volatile at the edges.

Nestled within what old-world Englishmen would call The Antipodes, New Zealand is truly an exceptional place. Taking huge pride in their native musicians, radio stations are bound by law to give over a fixed percentage of airtime to New Zealand artists.

This results in a rather special situation for independent dance music producers, such as Auckland raised Matthew Harvey, a.k.a. Concord Dawn. With a level playing field underground genres like drum & bass have thrived in New Zealand, with producers being lumped in alongside traditional pop stars and rock bands.

It’s no overstatement to say that Concord Dawn is an institution in NZ, proven by the presales for ‘The Enemy Within’ on iTunes New Zealand which saw the album slot in at a rather healthy #2 just between Shihad (NZ’s biggest rock band) and Maroon 5.

Featuring a selection of guest appearances, from fellow NZ D&B dons Bulletproof and Cern, to ‘80s pop star Rikki Morris ‘The Enemy Within’ provides a rich tapestry of tastes and flavours across the drum & bass spectrum that will prove to be just as popular on the world stage as it is at home.

The track’s laser precise hard tech thrust fused with Gein’s bloodcurdling sickness make “Ghetto Dope” pure dance floor crack. Gein joins forces on “6 Feet” with acclaimed Brooklyn producers Silent Killer and Breaker, with a wicked sound that combines inpspiration from military movies, hard east coast hip-hop and a form of hardcore called ‘screamo’. The track is well known for its huge bombastic intro that morphs into wave after wave of raw drum and bass pressure.. “Ghetto Dope” and “6 Feet” are enjoying support from global tastemakers including DJ Hype, TeeBee, Counterstrike, Evol Intent, and SPKTRM.

PRODUCT009    Turn The Page / Chamber – Craggz & Parallel    Product Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Two of D&B’s most respected characters, Craggz & Parallel, and it couldn’t have come a moment too soon. Since releasing their debut ‘Northern Soul’ LP on Valve back in 2006 the pair have stepped back, regrouped and are now ready to come full force with a brand new super-fresh sound that’s sure to raise heads throughout the scene. Drawing on influences from electronic music past and present from early techno sounds, 80’s synth-pop through to a myriad of contemporary dance music genres, Craggz & Parallel have created a truly unique and daring album sure to quench the most discerning and dance floor tastes whilst challenging the more traditional drum and bass album ideals. Even reverting back to analogue production techniques to combine with the modern creates an experience unlike any other around today so keep you ears open for the genius new sounds of Craggz & Parallel. The first Vinyl 12” features Turn The Page & Chamber Kicking off in fine style the title track opens with an epic intro awash with crooked bottle- nose FXand pads that mesmerize. Creeping bass tones follow until the drop into a massive hard-stepping slice of menacing technoid D&B that’s sure to bring out the screw-face in all who hear it. Then doing things a little differently, ‘Chamber’ features a stripped back approach that works a nasty bass-wave riff into a seriously intense slice of dark drum and bass. One for the more adventurous dance floors. “I don’t really say things like this much, but Craggz & Parallel are about to flip D&B on its head…” Breakage “Analogue synths, drum machines & +170bpm = Top album. C&P FTW!!” dBridge “Craggz & Parallel have taken a bold step towards a much deeper, more mature and personal sound; locking themselves away for 2 years has resulted in a truly inspirational album that will turn a lot of heads. One of the best releases in 2010 by some way, this definitely gets the Flight seal of approval.” DJ Flight

ATLAS004 Useless / Relentless – Total Science, S.P.Y & DJ Lee Atlas Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Atlas Recordings is the brainchild of the legendary DJ Lee. Conceived in 2002 and set up as a platform for his burgeoning production output, it garnered a devoted following from the very first release, the huge ‘Udon / Double Down’ from Lee himself and long time cohort D.Kay. With a bulging DJ diary, Lee lacked both the time and energy needed to really give it the care and attention it needed and Atlas sadly closed its doors just a year later on release number three. Fast forward to 2010 however and Atlas is making a comeback with Lee vowing to make it a success again this time round. ATLAS004, the first release of the relaunch, is from Lee, fellow Oxfordians Total Science and current d&b hot property S.P.Y, with two huge dancefloor tracks, – Relentless’ b/w ‘Useless’. These tunes have been getting battered by the select few DJ’s lucky enough to have a copy and have been causing carnage in clubs across the world. They have created a buzz about Atlas not seen since the first release and with plenty more music in the pipeline, your sure to be hearing a lot more from Lee and his Atlas imprint in the near future….

HBT025    Zero Point / Cold Spot – Katharsys    Habit Recordings 12″ Vinyl
After more then a year of absence its finally time unleash the new sounds of Habit.. Gein has been busy deep within the murky pits of nastyness to make sure Habit kicks off with an explosive start. Katharsys isnt a unknown name within the DnB scene with releases on Lifted’s Breed series & a collab on Counterstrike’s label its a sure thing that this young name is a sure shot when it comes to dirty sounds. Zero Point is best compared to a armored battle tank that is ready to crush its opponents with devastating effect. With gun turrets aimed at every angle its a hazard to be just in a 2 mile radius when this one drops. The flip Cold Spot is another rumbling rattler that wont leave the dancefloor unnoticed, big bad heavy beats will pound the speaker to shreds. If this wont move a party then your playing at a funeral. Habit is back and ready to kick ass and take names.

APHA004 The Limit / Get Lost – Fracture And Neptune Astrophonica 12″ Vinyl
Good evening Planet Earth… Citizens of Earth origin or any other planet in the Solar System…Fracture & Neptune are proud to present the fourth installment of their galactic phonographic recordings imprint: The Limit/Get Lost. This latest release continues the Astrophonica journey and futher defines the label’s signature sound, somewhere between a funk band lost in space and a warehouse rave in East London. This release is set to be the label’s biggest yet with it getting support from pretty much every trend setting DJ out there including DJ Storm, DJ Bailey, DJ Teebee, Ulterior Motive, Doc Scott, Fabio and many, many more. The Limit was featured on Zero T’s Fabric Live 52 and caused a stir instantly with it’s simple and dancefloor devastating vibes, so devastating in fact that it has been heralded as ‘the tune of sun & bass 2010′ by Jubei from Metalheadz…. Astrophonica has now been placed firmly on the d&b map. A-Side – The Limit dispatches us on a time-travelling mission, a return to the planet of dark warehouses, where the atmosphere is made up of dense angsty drum-driven paranoia and raging bass-bin winds that are strong enough to take your skin clean off. Currently featuring on Fabric Live 52 by Zero T, The Limit is set to be the biggest release on the label to date, and is sure to grace many an emergency escape pod this Autumn. AA-Side – Get Lost sees an unsuspecting funk drummer trapped in tractor beam bleeps, almost escaping with the help of a snare- gun, before being sent hurtling back into the reverbisphere in classic style, as oncoming lazer-bass stabs of Death Star proportions seal the track’s fate, hauling it into the brocking bay. One for the sample and break spotters, Get Lost promises a deeper voyage to inner space than its vinyl cohabitant, making APHA004 rewarding bounty for any jet-setting bass hunter.
Jubei (Metalheadz) “This was THE tune of Sun & Bass 2010”
John B (Beta) “the limit is an absolute beast.”
Artificial Intellegence (Integral / V Recordings) “I love The Limit. Play it in every set. Always goes down well”

SBLFLTD001   The Key (Atlantic Connection Remix) – Lukeino Ft. Paulie Rhyme / Mutt Sublife Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Sublife steps up for it’s first vinyl release with a hard hitting yet super smooth dancefloor friendly number. Atlantic Connection delivers a nice dubby remix to ‘The Key’ by Lukeino & featuring Paulie Rhyme. Deep subs and dubbed out vocal bits get the vibe moving as the beats and breaks roll out some choice rhythms. Be ready for some hands in the air when this one drops.. In the jungle, jungle, jungle! The flip side of this plate offers another heater for the floor with ‘Ruby Sky’ by Mutt, Calculon & Austin Speed. This tune starts out with a deceptively laid back and minimal intro with some fresh sound design and nice deep vibes. When it drops it hits tough with super low subs and running beats along with some choice vocal stabs and creative use of fx. This release has already received early DJ support from The Bachelors of Science, Crissy Criss, Submorphics, Sinistarr & Stunna amongst others.

NSDX006    Die For You Remixes – Cutline    Never Say Die Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. There aren’t many acts working in electronic music who can say they’ve had their music played by both trance demi-god Paul Van Dyke and drum & bass don Andy C in the space of a month. But Cutline can. The Bristol-based duo are at the forefront of a new breed of multi-genre dance acts, applying their no-nonsense, bass-heavy approach to everything from dubstep to D&B to house. After a year that’s seen Cutline remix The Qemists, J Majik & Wickaman, Nick Thayer and Mindflow (the latter of which smacked into the Beatport charts at #3), Cutline are now finally releasing their debut solo release for Never Say Die. ‘Die For You’ sees the duo in electro-house mood, complete with flowing piano chords, bleeping synths, heavily processed vocals and, of course, a drop that’s filthier than a 5am-kebab. It’s just another example of Cutline’s ability to turn their hand to almost any genre and absolutely smash it. Backed by remixes from dubstep and D&B masters Mindflow and Shock One, this latest release from Never Say Die is an impressively broad demonstration of the sounds and trends that are currently ripping club land apart.

Mister Dabs turned the original into a monster of a rollerrr for the bassline massive.. Wicked! Rido takes care of the flip in style. The man well known for his epic intro’s rips it up like only he can. Well timed synth stabs and a classical music style complement the rolling beat. BIG bassline dropping as the synth sounds roll on and on. Main stage bussiness!

DVA006    Dis Boy (DVA’s Hi Emotions Remix) – Cooly G / Scratcha DVA    DVA Music 12″ Vinyl
The label’s sixth release is no exception. DVA’s remix of Cooly G’s ‘Dis Boy’ turns an already seductive track into a spaced-out dream: in the place of Cooly’s stripped down production it’s got all the psychedelic electronic subtleties and twists you might expect to hear in a Berlin techno tune, but actually brings her sophisticated vocal melodies more to the fore than the original version. The rhythm’s syncopations, meanwhile, move along in lazy leaps as if dancing in lowered gravity. Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 perform a similar job of total transformation on DVA’s own ‘Jelly Roll’. They play the original’s cheeky, cheery melody backwards, forwards, sideways and upside-down, bouncing it off itself in a hall of audio mirrors and allowing glassy synths to slide between the beats and bass. It’s a strange, slightly sinister and intoxicating reworking – one to get lost in. Bonus track ’32Da4′ is something else entirely; as you may guess from the title it’s in 3 time – a bizarre, slithering dubstep waltz that flows out of the speakers and around itself in unique style. Lesser producers would build whole movements on such an innovative tune, but for DVA it’s just another step in a compelling musical evolution.

CHST010 7 Breaths / Fear – Tunnidge Chestplate 12″ Vinyl
The landmark tenth release on Distance’s almighty Chestplate imprint sees the unprecedented addition of a brand new artist to the label. South London’s Tunnidge steps up and weighs in with two tracks packing equal amounts of bass pressure, gnarl and darkness. Two certified suckerpunches on wax. Distance has been supporting Tunnidge’s beats in his sets for a while, so fans will already be familiar with his brand of ferocious and driven bass music. His sound fits perfectly into the aesthetic Distance has created with the previous nine releases of his own productions, collaborations and remixes. These tracks have the definitive dubstep sound, with space and snare smack and maximum impact. 7Breaths is a peak time stomper, which will register on the Richter scale and make cracks appear on the dancefloor. On the flip, Fear is a masterclass in the use of sampled dialogue to full affect. Its ambient intro preludes a heavy widescreen dubstep experience, executed to perfection. These tracks make you realise that most dubstep newcomers are barely out of their nappies compared to Tunnidge. With major DJ support from the likes of Pinch, Ntype, Loefah, Cyrus, Joe Nice and 12th Planet, it’s obvious that dubstep DJs and fans will see this as a record that quite simply must be bagged and Tunnidge is a name to hold up alongside the very best the scene has to offer.

LOCA001    In A Hole / In The Dark – Spherix    Lowercase Music 12″ Vinyl
Having already released tunes for some of the scene’s most respected record labels (Immerse, Aquatic Lab, Bare Dubs, Sub continental Dub) and earned support from big hitters like Ramadanman, Peverelist and Scuba, Spherix steps up on his own lowercase imprint with ‘In a Hole’ and ‘In the Dark’. Based in Australia and run in collaboration with Kwality (‘Look Back’ on Tube10), lowercase is focussed on stretching the dubstep and techno boundaries while casting an eye on further horizons than just the dancefloor. ‘In a Hole’ and ‘In the Dark’ both highlight Spherix’s solid understanding of depth and masterful touch for abstract rhythms that are impossible to ignore. Built around cavernous stabs, crunchy drums and spacious, swooping subs, the effect is two tracks that suck you into their own murky planet. LOCA001 also features an exclusive vinyl-only locked groove on the flip, illustrating just why Spherix has earned a reputation as an innovator and hints at the future of the lowercase label.

RWINA009    Reinforced – Terror Danjah    Rwina Records 12″ Vinyl
Yes people, like Dillinja once said, it’s time to get grimey! At the end of September, the man, the myth, the legend, Mr Terror Danjah blesses Rwina with the Reinforced EP. A storming 3 tracker of top class grime for the connoisseurs, the EP is fully equipped with lazershifting bass-terrorism and high-end sonic manipulation. The lead track, ‘Reinforced’, switches from sweet but dark R&B vibes to classic acid-esque rave touches, guaranteeing a proper reaction on the floor. ‘Peanut Punch’, a collaboration with regular sparring- partner D.O.K., sprinkles neon highlights over a minimal, bass-led beat, while the EP finishes up with ‘Stomp Test’ – 4 to the floor club music designed to kill any dance. Rwina & Terror Danjah – a perfect fit.

KGO003    Moon Pupils EP – Boxcutter / Boxcutter & Kab Driver    Kinnego Records 12″ Vinyl
Following on from last year’s impossibly good The Love Quadrant EP by Space Dimension Controller, Kinnego Records return with two tracks from label owner Boxcutter, his first new material since the Arecibo Message album on Planet Mu. “Moon Pupils” is a gentle, trippy bit of 2-step, full of tweaked analogue melodies and tape echoed flute. On the flip, Boxcutter & Kab Driver take inspiration from vintage library music and dubbed out disco. “2Time” is all handclaps and insistent synth chords, with two woozy string-led breakdowns. Kab Driver previously worked on KGO001 as part of Kinnego Flux.
Available on 12” vinyl (mastered at the Exchange), and digitally. The first 300 vinyl copies are shipped in silk-screened sleeves.

EX7005    Heavy Artillery ft. Messinian / Reploid – Excision & Downlink    EX7 12″ Vinyl
Without doubt Excision and his Rottun Recordings label have been one of the dubstep success stories of the last few years. From humble beginnings in British Columbia, Canada, to a worldwide fanbase comprised of thousands upon thousands of fans. Anyone who witnessed Excision destroy dancefloors in Paris, London, Bristol, Manchester and a host of other European cities on his recent tour will understand the effect his music is having around the world. EX7 is Rottun’s sister label, and was home to one of Excision’s most recognisable hits yet, the infamous ‘Swagga’ (produced alongside Datsik). Here Excision teams up with another member of the Rottun camp to create two incredible pieces of filthy dubstep. ‘Heavy Artillery’ features Messinian, one of the USA’s most well known D&B and dubstep MCs. Taking the formula of using hip hop samples and turning it on its head with powerful original vocals that ignite the dance alongside some West Coast lead lines, this one is heavy on the hip!
Flip over and the gruesome twosome team up once more on ‘Reploid’, a gurgling bassline-led track complete with grinding syncopated synths and pounding beats. Both tracks featured heavily in Excision’s sets during his recent EU/UK tour and will no doubt be flying off the shelves this winter.

Cessman has teamed up with Mad Professor’s legendary record label Ariwa to launch Dubliminal in fine style. July 2010 sees the long-awaited release of Cessman and Joe Ariwa’s collaboration 12′′ vinyl featuring four quality tracks – two from each producer. Cessman’s half of the 12′′ brings two very different heavyweight dubstep tracks – “Shanker” is a heavy-hitting rhythm which lives up to its name and causes serious bodily damage on the dance floor, while ”Emperor Selassie I” brings a more cinematic, dark, brooding rhythm track to the table with a haunting melody lurking in the background. Joe Ariwa’s side features “Wicked Man”, a new-school dub/dubstep crossover track which is truly next level. Featuring co-production from The Trixsters and the vocal talents of the worldwide performer Queen Omega. With an opening horn line, filter sweeps galore, a bassline reminiscent of King Tubby’s electronic outings, and classic Ariwa-style dub production a-plenty on this track, it couldn’t have been made by anyone except the son of Mad Professor! “Razor Sharp Dub” is the instrumental dub version of “Wicked Man” which will provide you with another chance to appreciate Joe Ariwa’s fine production skills and the new emerging dubstep/dub crossover sound of which this record is pioneering.

Tony Anthem and Axl Ender’s Life took the dubstep world by storm earlier this year when it dropped on Rat Records’ sister label, Sludge. Now this full-′′‐on club anthem is back with a fresh package of remixes for all types of dancefloor.

Next, London producer Erb & Dub takes things in a drum and bass direction, feeding breakneck drums, wobble bass and searing synths into the mix for a rapturous end-′′‐of-′′‐ night floor filler. Finally, Florida badman Dustin Hulton takes things into full-on euphoria with sublime synth work andepic keys, before hitting us with the bass nfor maximum impact in the club.

Scuba, aka Paul Rose, has been at the forefront of the dubstep scene since its birth. Having founded the innovative and influential Hotflush Recordings label in 2003, he has continually brought colour and depth to an advancing genre, expanding its sonic structure and increasing its influence on the wider electronic scene.

Through Scuba and seminal work by central figures including Distance, Vex’d and more recently Mount Kimbie and Joy Orbison, Hotflush remains crucial to the immediate moment and the developing future of the most exciting aspects of electronic music. In addition to label and production duties, he also runs the massively successful SUB:STANCE night at Berlin’s techno Mecca, Berghain, the sound of which he committed to plastic in a DJ mix released on Ostgut Ton in January 2010.

Scuba

Following the first Scuba LP, A Mutual Antipathy (2008) which was remixed by Marcel Dettman, Martyn and Surgeon, Triangulation (2010) took the Scuba sound to a new level. The collision of dubstep and techno has produced startling music from a wide range of producers in the last few years, none more than Scuba, and that has been well documented. But Triangulation moves past the dubstep/techno axis and into new territory. Working at multiple tempos, the album covers an area ranging from house to experimental drum n bass while retaining the Scuba sound that has become so distinctive.

For Triangulation (Interpretations) new allure is breathed into Scuba’s originals.  The listless beauty of Before is embued with a spine tingling warmth on Scuba’s luscious opening re-edit, Before (After). A remix of Latch by Will Saul & Mike Monday of Simple Records, Aus Music and Buzzin’ Fly, infuses the dubbed out original with a dose of bumping house flavor.  America’s totem of bass Faulty DL takes leave from the original On Deck with a low burring bassline and elegantly woven melodies drawn warmly across the whole. Scuba’s back with the old skool vibes on You Got Me (I Got You) but confidently skips the line by keeping it firmly in this moment. Canadian Deadbeat has showcased his own brand of dub laden electronics for the likes of Wagon Repair,  Scape, Spectral , Musique Risque and Cynosure over the past decade, his remix of Tracers sees him in classic form delivering a deep 7am techno heavy hitter. Joe made an immediate impact on the scene with his 12”s on Hessle Audio and Applepips over the past year, his rework of So You Think You’re Special has a slowly blossoming groove underpinning stuttering percussion, jangling keys and an expertly playful melody that opens out across the sparse background. Finally, South London’s Deadboy offers an understated modern jungle remix of Before with skittering hats and heavy bass that can’t fail to light up floors and faces.

RECIPE010    Cold One / Fallen Angel – Skeptical / Skeptical & Dub Phizix    Ingredients Records 12″ Vinyl
BIG TUNE!! So much attention this year has been on the minimal sounds within drum & bass. Skeptical, a name creeping up the chain, has really honed this skill of keeping it minimal yet powerful. “Cold One” is arguably his finest tune to date. Bringing back the hoovers, while delivering a totally fresh style, this is a must have tune. Dub Phizix from Manchester, is another new name, but with a slew of releases on big labels pending it won’t be long before he becomes a buy on sight artist. This co-lab with Skeptical is absolutely dangerous, watch the bassbins, i’m telling ya!

PM020 Eternalism / Paralyze Babylon – Paradox / Equinox Paradox Music 12″ Vinyl
The 60th 12” across the Paradox labels has landed! and to mark PM020 in style Paradox Music has finally added the legendary Equinox to their artist roster after nearly a decade of requests. ‘Paralyze Babylon’ oozes funk and dnb knowledge as Marlon Equinox demonstrates that it is possible to roll linear edited breaks (a paradox in itself). Low subs rumble underneath fx and reggae vocals whilst a great 808 b-line complements dirty amen loops that swing left-to-right, but still have that paramount linear funk – a simple master class in breakbeat science. Paradox switches his amen eq to complement ‘Paralyze Babylon’ for a raw jungle workout on the flip. ‘Eternalism’ is uncooked meat Paradox style! Crusty low pitch patterns with a heavy bass kick pedal keep everything in check whilst fx and eerie film samples swirl around intricate reverse breaks that don’t fall down the stairs. DJ Support: Utah Jazz, Bailey, Zero T, Gremlinz, Naibu, Alley Cat, Soul Intent, Fracture & Neptune.

Wait till you hear the flip. This is even dirtier than the A-side. The Sect teaming up with Cooh and you get dirty to the extreme!!

Ikonika & Optimum are proud to introduce their highly anticipated new venture: Hum + Buzz Records. This double A side debut release is right at the centre of the current UK crossover, post-genre sound. First up, ‘Aqueous Cream’ explores a different sound to the one Ikonika delivered on her recent Hyperdub debut album. A dancefloor ready track with smooth sub bass, staccato piano chords, trademark emotive synth-leads, underpinned by tough kicks, sizzling hi-hats and ricochet snares. On side AA, ‘Ampersand’ marks Ikonika & Optimum’s first official collaboration. Layers of synth melodies float above a steady four/four pulse and unpredictable claps. An angular, broken, melodic march at a house tempo.

NSWL005 Hoes Come Out At Night (Ikonika Remix) – Cubic Zirconia / Bok Bok / Ikonika Night Slugs 12″ Vinyl
Another transatlantic soundclash on Night Slugs, this time centered around the New York-based R&B / acid house band Cubic Zirconia.On the A-side, elite Hyperdub producer Ikonika remixes Cubic Zirconia’s “Hoes Come Out At Night”, letting Tiombe Lockhart’s dirty rap vocals ride her charging 145bpm riddim. Infused with all of Ikonika’s signature cosmic synthwork, the ‘Hoes’ remix is also delightfully ghettotech-flavoured and primed for peak-time dancefloors. On the flip things get deeper as Night Slugs captain Bok Bok and Cubic Zirconia’s Nick Hook collaborate on an retrofuturistic acid-bassline banger by the name of “Reclash”. This time Tiombe is a ghostly presence, delivering disorientating incantations over Bok and Hook’s jacking 808 drums and soaring synth psychedelia. Night Slugs Booty from outer space.

NS007 The Velvet Connection – Velour Night Slugs 12″ Vinyl
The latest Night Slugs signing is steeped in mystery – a new project from two big producers (from the House and Dubstep scenes respectively) known only as Velour. “The Velvet Collection” is a concept EP of four subtle variations on a distinct theme: sleazy, luminescent, synth-soaked cosmic boogie infused with functionalist 808s. The EP is as much futuristic dance/sex music as it is an homage to iconic Roland hardware of the 80s. Opening track “Booty Slammer” announces Velour’s intentions right from the intro, before its longing chords give way to cavernously low booming 808 sub bass. Bittersweet as it is seductive, the track rolls in half- time, punctuated by a vocal refrain: “inside of me”. Very sensual! “The Scent Of Romance” and “Kick It Till It Breaks” both adapt the kind of jackin’ drums favoured by the Dirty Bird crew while Velour’s distinctive vintage synth work elevates them to the celestial realm. Both tracks work as spectacular tech-house centerpieces, but with enough low-end pressure to dominate any UK soundsystem. The EP is closed by “She Wore Velour”, a theme song for the project, which refigures the record’s sound palette into something more direct, driving and up-front. Arpeggiated twinkles and “Ripe Banana”-like pitch-bent beams of synth atop a massive diving sub are eventually consumed by an unforgettable chorus of keys. From the dancefloor to the boudoir, Velour is a pornographic synth odyssey on Night Slugs.

RS1008    The Temporary Thrillz EP – Space Dimension Controller    R&S Records 12″ Vinyl x 2
Limited first run on purple splattered vinyl 2×12” maxi EP format, that also has 4 locked grooves R&S Records return with another exciting young talent. Space Dimension Controller has already caused a fuss on the underground with his Love Quadrant (Kinnego) and Journey To The Unknown Sphere (Royal Oak) releases. SDC aka 20 year old Jack Hamill from Belfast makes music way beyond his years, high on concept, made on analogue equipment and head and shoulders above his peers. Probably the reason the exclusive Red Bull music academy chose him for their recent course in London. The Temporary Thrillz doublepack vinyl release sees Jack advancing his signature sound over this maxi ep format.
People have difficulty pinning down the SDC sound, I’ve seen it described as electro, space funk, cosmic disco, pop-psychedelic, techno-funk, jazz fusion, disco house and electronica. It’s probably all those things and more, and we are proud of the fact that its so hard to pigeonhole. A quick look at the tracklist of his Fact podcast mixes up Zapp, Class Action, Jonzun Crew, Model 500 and Der Zyklus which can give you an idea of where his head is at musically, and proves he’s a perfect artist for R&S.
The Temporary Thrillz EP contains intergalactic slow jams, deep club excursions and mid tempo space funk, all with the SDC trademark depth, soul and finesse. This is another release that will cement SDC as one of the best and most talked about young producers of the year.

HENCH021 Red (Chasing Shadows Remix) – Chasing Shadows Hench 12″ Vinyl
Two formats in stock, Limited Red Vinyl pressing and Limited Black Vinyl. With the massive ‘It Was Written’, Chasing Shadows’ dark production style broke through. Having now had two double-sided H.E.N.C.H releases; ‘Dr Sin/ The End’ and ‘Ill/Amirah’ and their track ‘Dream On’ forming the crescendo for the Hench Mixtape Vol. 1, these talented producers are rapidly becoming household names within the dubstep fraternity. Once again this duo brings to the table two tracks that have been the talk amongst all who’ve bared witness in the club. Two distinctive, destructive productions that are guaranteed to cause delight.
A. LAID BLAK – RED (CHASING SHADOWS REMIX) – Spanish-style guitar riff builds to make way for one of the catchiest vocal hooks that Bristol’s ever produced. Continue further to make way for a characteristically epic bassline drop that will shake the floor from beneath you. ‘Red’ is an awe-inspiring track that builds constantly. Expect the whole crowd to have hands in the air and singing along to this one – truly a future classic.
AA. ODYSSEY – Odyssey is the kind of production that your neighbours are going to loath you for, but you just can’t stop listening to it anyway. An Atmospheric and expectant intro builds into juggernaut-like bassline. Couple this with its rolling tempo and crashing snares and you get the idea of why it works on your iPod, on the stereo, in the rave, and pretty much anywhere else that calls for a roller of this proportion!

Enrolling the vocal talents of man of the moment, P Money – Ho! is the underground anthem which is getting smashed at club and radio stations across the UK.

SOTE003    Lights and Wires – Black Sun Empire    Shadows of the Empire 12″ Vinyl x 2
Limited finished copies. Black Sun Empire’s latest project, ‘Lights And Wires’ is the long awaited follow up to 2007′s ‘Endangered Species’ and shows the trio flexing their musical muscles. One half of the album vinyl is set to be released on Shadows Of The Empire, containing a pick of the dubstep tracks taken from ‘Lights And Wires’.From the opening bars of ‘The 405′ it’s clear that Black Sun Empire have retained their distinctly stark techno influences blended with a more refined edge. ‘Dirty Friday’ strays further and deeper, mellowing the aggressive undertones with wide-open synths and delicately placed sound effects. Teaming up with SPL, Black Sun Empire bring you ‘Wasteland’, a track with an epic intro that drops into an apocalyptic vision of the future. Finally ‘Brommer’ enthralls as creeping effects are married with light, skipping beats and captivating bass.

DBOOT011 Mr.Midnight – Suckafish P. Jones Disboot 12″ Vinyl
Suckafish P. Jones, the self-proclaimed ringmaster of voodoo electronics, returns to evil up your soundsystem with his second EP for Disboot records, ‘Mr Midnight’. Released on 12″ vynil for Disboot Records, Suckafish summons up four tracks of jagged robot funk from the depths of the swamp. Perverting the tropes and conventions of Uk Garage, Grime and hip hop, ‘Mr Midnight’ combines pulsing low end rhythms with possessive melodies to create a soundtrack to that full moon night that never ends. Sleazy, emotional, violent and ecstatic at the same time, Suckafish’s latest offering maintains his reputation for productions that ignite the dance with raw, infectious energy and humour. ‘Match Set Point’ sets off the proceedings in style, with it’s jerky hip hop beat propelled by apocolyptic toms and metronomic pulses. Threatening to crack apart like thunder at every turn, but holding us in its chaotic hypnosis, the track swirls its way through psychedelic arpeggios and bent, cascading vocals which remind us that, yes, ‘…the bounce is back’! The EP’s second track, ‘Wild and Dirty’, turns up the temperature; with its fractured post-dubstep beat that snaps open growling, detuned basslines and robo-funk melodics. Urgent, epic and overheated, it challenges you to drop any head-nod pretenses and start shaking like you’re possessed. ‘Bubble Farm’ offers perhaps the most jittery dancefloor-oriented offering of the EP. Combining elastic synthesis with hip swinging rhythms and tropical electronics, the track jerks us back and forth in impossible maneuvers within its fractured, low end bounce and melodic intricacy. To end, ‘The Touch’ pours out of the speakers as a solid barefoot beat carrying a wave of rich, dense analogue synths. With it’s ridiculously loose, manic LFOs, ‘The Touch’ throbs and snaps its way out of the speakers with all the swagger of a gold-tooth club classic for the post apocalyptic future.

SRKDVD001 Bassweight (Dubsteps first feature Documentary) – Various SRK DVD
BASSWEIGHT is a feature length documentary that offers an unparalleled insight into the subterranean world of Dubstep. Charting the genre’s growth from obscure origins in south London to global recognition today, the film features in-depth interviews with many of the DJ’s, producers and promoters who have been instrumental in Dubstep’s ongoing evolution. Skream, Benga, Kode 9 and Mary Anne Hobbs are just some of the key players who have contributed, reflecting on the movement they’ve helped shape; a movement that has come to define the importance of underground music in the 21st Century. This highly stylised film travels from Dubstep’s birthplace in Croydon to Europe, Brazil and Japan, demonstrating just how huge an impact this initially indigenous scene has made at an international level. Directed and produced by The SRK (Soka Afrika, Graffiti Asia, Rackgaki, Scratching the Surface: Japan), BASSWEIGHT documents this most clandestine of movements on its own terms and in its own voice.

“One of the best documentaries made about the full spectrum of dubstep” Kode9

“A beautiful snapshot of a fledgling scene.. A scene that would ultimately change the world of dance music forever.. You can feel the energy and the momentum in every frame..” Mary Anne Hobbs

“Best depiction of the Dubstep sound and culture yet.” Joe Muggs (Mixmag)

After years of success in their relative drum and bass production outfits, Siren is a collaboration of Vice from Vicious Circle and Ruxspin from Universal Project. Their debut album, “Broken Silence”, forthcoming in November 2010 on their own Siren Records has been doing damage on the DJ circuit for some time now.

Tracks such as ‘Snorkel’ (included on Andy C’s Nightlife 5 compilation), ‘Gumball Rally’, ‘Rollers Convention’ and ‘Broken Silence’ have been staples in the sets of everyone from Andy C to DJ Marky to Fabio and Chase and Status, as well as the new breed of artist producers such as S.P.Y, Spor and Jubei.

Over the last 10 years Universal Project are responsible for hits such as ‘Vessel’ on the Virus imprint, ‘Haunted Dreams’ on their own label Universal Project and an EP on DJ Hype’s True Playaz, as well as ‘Streetilfe’ with DJ Friction for Advanced Recordings and many Renegade Hardware smashers such as ‘Danger Chamber’, ‘Comin’ Thru’ and the Black Techno EP.

The Universal Project sound is B-Boy breaks with techno elements and dubwise bass, and everything in between. Vicious Circle broke through in 2005 with their monster remix of Universal Project’s ‘Jackhammer’ and have been destroying dancefloors ever since with their unique sound. Releases such as ‘Between the Lines’ and the ‘Welcome to Shanktown’ EP on Renegade Hardware pushed them to the forefront of the tech dnb scene. Subsequent releases on Digital Soundboy, Critical and Quarantine displayed a diverse style that has helped establish them as heavy hitters across the board whilst collaborations with high profile artists such as Chase & Status, Dom & Roland, Fierce and most recently Jubei clearly demonstrate the respect they command from their peers.

After spending a lot of time in the studio together Vice and Ruxspin decided to create a new guise for their own brand of rolling future funk. Siren is the result. Both artists in their own right have toured the world from the farthest reaches of Europe to the United States and Asia, consistently destroying dancefloors and gaining a reputation as masters of their craft. The aim of this duo is to cover all styles within the scene and not be constrained by subgenres, whilst still main- taining a dancefloor ethos which is true to their UK roots.

Already much talked about and tipped for big things, Siren is the new act on everyone’s lips. Watch this space.
