New D&B Promos
DMND008 – Mindmapper, Silvahfonk & Fre4knc – Flash Forward – 12″ Vinyl
Anyone who paid even the slightest bit of attention last year will know that Demand Records had an incredible 2011. Releasing music from the likes of BTK, Spectrasoul, Lost Sequence & Codeshaper, Lenzman, Heavy1, Optiv, Spinline, Hydro and LSB, Demand has certainly made its mark on the D&B scene and they show no signs of stopping during 2012. The first Demand release of the year comes from Mindmapper, teaming up with Silvahfonk on the A side and Fre4knc on the AA to create a huge single packed with infectious D&B energy. ‘Flash Forward’ takes no prisoners with a deep and dark atmosphere that’s balanced with sharp beats and a cavernous bassline. Meanwhile ‘Clear Distinction’ peps things up with a filthy Reece that punctuates the end of phrases perfectly, taking this track to another level. Kick starting 2012 with a bang, this single is yet another immense addition to the Demand catalogue and an amazing Demand debut from Mindmapper, Silvahfonk and Fre4knc. DJ support from Basher, BTK, Chris Su, DJ Hype, Doc Scott, Foreign Concept, Hazard, Loxy, LSB, Marky, Presha, John B, Mark System, Mindscape, Mutated Forms, The Upbeats etc.

MEDI047 – Skream – Gritty / Phatty Drummer – 12″ Vinyl
Is there anything left to say about Oliver ‘Skream’ Jones the original Dub-step wonder kid that hasn’t already been said, probably not, but for those of you that don’t know here’s a brief history. Skream is one of the founder members of the then UK’s Dubstep movement alongside Digital Mystikz, Benga, Loefah, Kode9 etc and has taken the scene from its original darkest depths of Croydon to the top of the worldwide charts in less than 7 years. Currently one third of the chart topping super group ‘Magnetic Man’ alongside Artwork and Benga, the latter with whom he has travelled the globe DJing, selling out clubs, gigs and festivals wherever they go and who now have a semi regular prime time dance show on BBC Radio 1 showcasing the freshest and heaviest Dubstep joints. I think it’s safe to say without Skream the world of Dubstep would be in a very, very different place. Although some of Skream’s recent productions are finding their way onto daytime radio he has always been an ambassador of hard experimental underground UK dance music and this is exactly what he has delivered for DEEP MEDi. Gritty & Phatty Drummer are his second release for Mala’s (label and showcase Skream’s unquestionable production talent and ear for some of the coldest, stripped back skeletal rhythms around, both tracks are packed with enough dread and sub-weight to give you nightmares, strictly soundsystem music…

ACLBL001 – Presk & Cinnaman – Sweat – 12″ Vinyl
Having released the anonymous and enormous F**k Yonkers bootleg earlier this year, the Amsterdam based Audio Culture Label is poised to unleash their first official release,,a piece of music which is the result of the collaborative efforts of Dutch wunderkind Presk and Amsterdam’s premier tastemaker Cinnaman. In part, Pieter ‘Presk’ Willems’ support is responsible for the label’s inception. In a short space of time Presk has built up a solid and impressively distinct sounding catalogue of work released on respected imprints such as Ramp sister label Fourth Wave and Doc Daneeka’s Ten Thousand Yen. Making a name for himself with nothing more than his hands and impeccable taste, Yuri ‘Cinnaman’ Boselie has become somewhat of a musical institution in Amsterdam. He’s the man behind the ground breaking Colors nights and is responsible for the equally forward thinking Beat Dimensions compilations. The B-side features two expertly remixed and uniquely different takes on the original, courtesy of non other than Instra:mental’s Jon Convex and Ten Thousand Yen head honcho Doc Daneeka.

MEDI053 – Goth-Trad – Airbreaker – 12″ Vinyl
“You have to be hungry as a musician. You have to experiment, you have to develop, you have to move forward, but you have to be hungry. That is how it is supposed to be. I won’t say that I haven’t been successful but I will say that I want to be better than this.” Goth-Trad to Big Up Magazine, 2008. And better he has become. New Epoch, Goth-Trad’s debut album for the DEEP MEDi Musik imprint due out in February 2012, is the result of over a decade of pushing forward from the man Kode9 calls “a one-man army mutating the UK hardcore continuum in Japan.” This acts as the first single taken from the forthcoming album featuring the tracks ‘Airbreaker’ and ‘Cosmos’.
