APHA004 – Fracture And Neptune – The Limit / Get Lost – 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”

EXIT025 – Various Artists – Exit Records Presents ‘Mosaic Vol 1’ Sampler 1 – 12″ Vinyl
Exit Records Presents ‘Mosaic Vol 1’ Sampler 1. With so much good music arriving in the Exit inbox it was decided that a various artist project was needed to ensure that it all sees the light of day and doesn’t get caught up in a never ending schedule of singles. As normal with Exit Records, there’s no prejudice in the track selection. This album truly represents the more experimental side of Drum and Bass as opposed to the crash bang wollop which seems to be the only side of Drum and Bass portrayed by the mainstream media today. Hopefully this album will manage to reach the people that thought this forward thinking music was left behind in the nineties and let them know that it’s still alive and well and still capable of throwing up some surprising and unpredictable results.

SOM011 – Black Sun Empire, State Of Mind & Bulletproof / NC-17, Telekinesis feat KC – Roulette / Micronaps – 12″ Vinyl
SOM 011: State of Mind, Black Sun Empire and Bulletproof – Roulette – State of Mind and Black Sun Empire are back on SOM wax. This time around Bulletproof gets in on the action, and the result: the mighty Roulette. Roulette is unashamedly heavy but at the same time super smooth, and it has been doing the damage all over the world in the sets of some of the scene’s biggest names. NC-17, Telekinesis feat KC – On the other side Micronaps is just as crisp. Labels from all walks including Virus, BSE and C4C were literally begging for this tune but somehow SOM got ahold of it. What more is there to say than this tune absolutely smacks it: A real underground favorite. Here is what some fans have to say about this great 12 on soundcloud: ”This is amazing, must own this”. ”Flawless production! It sounds super open and clean, couldnt have been better!” ”There should be a download button about here…” ”Thats a hell of a 12 inch”

18MOHM01 – Silent Killer & Breaker – Amongst Villains – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy promo. Silent Killer returns following the success last year’s ‘EVERYONE BLEEDS’, and this time he’s brought co-producer Breaker along and a star studded list of collaborators on ‘AMONGST VILLAINS’. Everyone who is currently making waves in the world of hard drum n bass makes a contribution, yet the album is surprisingly diverse, melodic, and memorable. These selected DnB tracks from the ‘Amongst Villains’ album feature a who’s who of modern hard style drum n bass, and also illustrate the Ohm Resistance penchant for live instrumentation, including Pendulum’s KJ Sawka, as well as Counterstrike, Cooh, and DJ Hidden. Silent Killer and Breaker shine through with tightly crafted tracks with epic layered synths and Brooklyn style brutal bass bombs and body impact reeses. No recycled bullshit, no filler, excelling on both the dancefloor and in terms of creative construction and concept.

FRJ008 – Geiom – Resi Claart – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. We’re proud to announce Geiom’s full debut for Frijsfo Beats, His 12-inch is doubly exciting in that it makes a new departure into the tempo and rhythms of ‘half-step’ drum ‘n’ bass. The tracks have already earned support from ASC (Autonomic), DJ Alley Cat, Boxcutter, Autechre and West Norwood For this latest material, the closest reference point is drum & bass’s thriving half-step sub-genre. ‘Resi Claart’ unfolds with a similar steely, Terminator-like persistence, although instead of militantly in thrall to the grid, it’s gracefully executed. In certain ways the vibe is closer to nineties ambient jungle, although it couldn’t be mistaken for a product of either scene – fleshed out as it is with Geiom’s distinctive harmonies in brown, dystopian mode. B-side ‘Stel Dum’ is subtly woven around live drum and Moog tracks, pivoting on a skeleton of robotic calypso percussion as the title half suggests. Gradually the framework is stuffed with digitised silk and spice textures, building up a palette as lush as that of Island Noise and making for just as absorbing a listen. It might have been simple to capitalise on the existing reputation of Geiom’s music in other styles, but we think it’s more than worthwhile to bring listeners this new stage of his evolution. We hope you’ll agree.

‘Swarf Pot’ (Transition Dubstep) Featuring 21 tracks from the likes of Benga, Skream, Coki, LD & Distance. Including 3 brand new exclusive tracks: Transition. It’s a word that takes you from one place to another. It’s also a small studio round the back of an unassuming building in South London. More specifically, it’s the working HQ of Jason Goz, the man who helped shape the dubstep sound with his Neumann cutting lathe – and his higher level ears, if course – and it is the first port of call for a whole roll-call of artists from original nuttahs like, Mala, Coki, Loefah, Burial, Kode 9, Skream and Benga to the international artists who only want their shit cut at Transition, as well as a heady brew of musicians including everyone from Jah Shaka to funky man of the moment DJ Paleface to avant garde ambient don Christian Fennesz. Basically, Jason is sound, in both senses of the word. The labels are going strong which is why we have compiled these CDs of past and future releases.

SUBWAYCD001 – Various Artists – Destination CD – CD
Subway Recordings has been a steady force within the dubstep scene the last 3 years.. Not only as a label but also as one of the most forward thinking party crews on the Dutch scene… Some of the leading Dubstep names have passed through Subway first before becoming the new rockstars of today… By flexing its sides from deep to hardcore they have been showing how far the word dubstep bends into multiple angles.. After releasing quality tunes like “Missed Calls”, “Unknown Suspect” & especially last year’s hotly tipped “Seeeriousss” its certain that this label knows quality when they hear it… And this Destination Compilation has the word quality written alllll over it.. Ranging from Mutant Funky/Dubstep to Garage combined with some of the grittiest & darkest sounds Dubstep has to offer… Subway once again shows what Dubstep is all about… Not clinging to styles or focusing on sub genres.. this compilation is all about “Dubstep” in every sense of the word…

RNG008 – Jonnny Clark Vs Mala / Coki – Sinners / Goblin – 12″ Vinyl
Finally re pressed and re-released. Ringo Records, the outward spew of the legendary Transition Studios, snug in the heart of dubstep territory, confound the unsuspecting public with more heavyweight material from the scene’s core artists. Mala re-rubs a Johnny Clarke classic with typical panache; reverential dub-wise handling invested with bass technology and infused with Rasta teachings. Fellow Digital Mystik Coki provides a coarse counterpoint with ‘Goblin’, a ‘Spongebob part 2′, with ferocious synth action that few, if any, can better.

EX7005 – Excision & Downlink – Heavy Artillery ft. Messinian / Reploid – 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.

SEPTIC1 – Shackleton – Man On A String Part 1 and 2 – 12″ Vinyl
Since writing the suicide note for Skull Disco in 2008, Shackleton has made a well received long player for Perlon and remixed the likes of Harmonia and Brian Eno, Moderat and To Rococo Rot as well as making a mix cd for the Fabric series and one of the final mixes for the Mary Anne Hobbes show on Radio One. This release however sees Shackleton once again with his own label which will go by the name of Woe To The Septic Heart! Those who have heard Shackleton before may know what to expect and will not be surprised to hear two bass-heavy, percussive tracks with a psychedelic edge and an involved narrative that will perhaps not be played out on every dancefloor. More’s the pity.

DISF010 – Truth – Stranger Than Fiction EP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Fresh off the back of their debut ‘Puppets’ LP and a very successful European DJ tour, the trio from New Zealand drop another bomb, this time on Skream’s Disfigured Dubz label in the form of a four track EP ‘Stranger than fiction’. Staying true to their sound, they roll out four very different tracks but all with the same distinctive Truth vibes. ‘Wednesday’ is first off to warm up the speaker coils and set the mood with their trademark eerie atmospheres, gut rumbling basslines and quirky paranoia educing effects. Just when you thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel, they drop a glimmer of hope with the soul warming ‘Stay’ with its heart wrenching strings, calming Rhodes chords and reassuring vocals, it serves well as the lull before the storm. Up next the clouds blacken again and it’s deep into the jungle with ‘Bubba Ho Step’. Tribal drums beat in the distance like some kind of rain dance, and so the storm begins. Sub bass slowly morphs into a pounding, precision timed, chest shattering mid range that is dealt in just the right amounts, this tune will mash up any dance floor without any repetitive overkill. Then we move into the apocalyptic aftermath of ‘The Future’. Once again the paranoia sets in and we realize there really is no hope for mankind after all. A shuffling drum step and percussion, cinematic atmospheres and a simmering mid range crackle and fizz like burning embers amongst char grilled concrete ruins. Having been caned by all the main playas over the last year such as Skream, Mala, Hatcha, Joe Nice and N-Type to name a few, this is a must for your record box.

NONPLUSLP002PART1 – LOL – LOL Part 1 – 12″ Vinyl
lol is a bit of an unusual project, it’s just a thing in it’s own right, it’s not ‘for’ anything or anyone in particular, it’s just an LP made by three bored people who like music that sounds like it did before the advent of the internet. The project was recorded in the bedroom of a warehouse conversion in Hackney Wick (bedrooms can be incredibly creative spaces, seeing as most of us were conceived in one) They wrote about self-obsession, social anxiety, drug abuse, and failed relationships using pre-21st century recording devices such as VHS tape, 70′s valve microphones, analogue synths, cheap Argos catalogue guitars, and 80′s drum machines. The resulting music was sent to a handful of people they thought were similarly musically inclined; people deeply into producer culture who never rabidly stuck to one way of doing things, in the hope that they might like it too. After a few positive responses, it was decided to keep the project close to where it was created and London based label Nonplus+ Records proudly put their name behind it. The name was chosen after a text conversation about potential band names – none of which sounded right – with the last suggestion being “Polterchrist?” which was replied to with a simple “lol”. lol sounded neat so that was it. They liked the fact that it used to be an abbreviation for ‘lots of love’ but now just means ‘laughing out loud’. It seemed to fit the cheap, cynical nature of what they’d written about… oh and it looks a bit like a person with their hands in the air.

Whether throwing down techno-informed steppers for Tempa or creating juke-fuelled hysteria around crustaceans for Loefah’s Swamp81 imprint, Headhunter (and his Addison Groove alias) always brings a startling level of sophistication to his productions. These two cuts bear the same high standards while also revealing a little more about his sonic palette. ‘Lost Prophet’ surges forth on a rock solid four-to-the-floor propulsion, offset by snappy top end percussion before being swathed in haunting pads and dubby FX. ‘Chasing Dragons’ chimes in on an instantly upbeat tip, pummelling a soca rhythm against an undulating melody. Deep without being downbeat and immaculately crafted, IDLE004 adds ever more breadth to the legacies of Headhunter, Idle Hands and ultimately Bristol music.

18MOHM02 – Silent Killer & Breaker – Amongst Villains – 12″ Vinyl
Silent Killer returns following the success last year’s ‘EVERYONE BLEEDS’, and this time he’s brought co-producer Breaker along and a star studded list of collaborators on ‘AMONGST VILLAINS’. Everyone who is currently making waves in the world of hard drum n bass makes a contribution, yet the album is surprisingly diverse, melodic, and memorable. Showing off considerable production and songwriting skills, the duo drop their tempo with fantastic results, on this vinyl single of the dubstep tempo tracks from the ‘Amongst Villains’ album. Joining forces with both Napalm Death legend Mick Harris (as SCORN), and breakcore master Enduser, and utilizing the vocal talents of Bulgaria’s Syze, the tracks range from the brutal, total dancefloor domination of the title track Amongst Villains, to the epic and uplifting sounds of Divine. Silent Killer and Breaker prove to be versatile and no tourist, demonstrating a level of mastery that transcends genre.

DBOOT012 – Downliners Sekt – We Make Hits Not The Public – 12″ Vinyl
‘We make hits, not the public’ is the second episode of Downliners sekt’s trilogy with barcelonan bass music label Disboot Records in co-production with the band’s own label dsekt[dot]com. The deeply mysterious bass-tronauts continues their subsonic adventures, taking their craft to a new level of refinement. Haunting pads swell into lo-fi chopped melodies, crashing against persistent rhythms and coherent structures to create a near sonic shipwreck. Emotionally engaging and at calculated times claustrophobically dense, “wmhntp” is the middle ground between two extremes, one of excess and the other of minimal precision. This, their sixth official release, is the second installment of a trilogy started a few months ago with the critically acclaimed ‘Hello lonely, hold the nation’ EP which since its release in May 2010 has received wide spread support. From radio bass evangelists like Mary anne Hobbs and Rob Booth (both of them have commissioned exclusive mixes for their respective shows); to prestigious record stores like Sounds of the Universe and Boomkat (receiving category of single of the week on both places); having being reviewed by The Wire, Resident Advisor, Playground and many others magazines and webzines. The record has also received massive support from different artists around the world, among them The Bug (King Midas Sound), Kid Kameleon, François K and Hollywood movie director Darren Aronofsky.
