Jon Stanley aka Cyantific is back – careering back into the drum & bass spotlight right where he belongs, with the debut release on his own self-titled label.

Leading the way is ‘Brighter Day’ – the latest collaboration between Cyantific and fellow Hospital Records artist Logistics. Picking up where their previous outing, the mighty ‘Flashback’, left off, it’s supercharged electric d&b of the highest order, featuring the vocal talents of Natalie Williams. While the lead synth line and uplifting vocals sooth the soul, the ever so snarling bassline and pumping subs remind you that this isn’t going to be all plain sailing. After gaining a huge following online through Danny Byrd’s recent BBC Radio 1 guest mix, the lead track is set to smash dancefloors up and down the country with support from what reads like a who’s who of the drum & bass A list.

Cyantific

On the flip, Cyantific goes it alone, deeper into the jungle with ’88 mph’. Filled to the brim with amen breaks, big bass and urgent samples, it’s 3am at Fabric room 1. Reminiscent of Cyantific’s early Hospital Records jungle rinse outs such as ‘Little Green Men’ and ‘Reincarnation Dub’, this latest offering is set to blow a hole twice the size in your bassbin with subs that go so low you will find them somewhere in subterranea.

After his ‘Bare Feet’ EP dropped out of the blue last summer, Max has been delivering track after track to the RAMP offices. So dumbfounded were they at the utter breathtaking beauty of this music, that they have no words to describe it. With that in mind, we hand you over to the man himself – Maxmillion Dunbar.

“I used to live in the woods. When it would snow there would be huge 4-foot drifts, and my brother and I would cannonball into them from the roof of our house, which was actually the side of a hill. My dad built the house, which is a part of my face in the cover art of the LP.”

Maxmillion Dunbar

“Now I live in the city and play in clubs. When I take the bass out and throw it back in I want you to feel it. Maxmillion tracks are my solo flight from the other music I make, as a co-producer in Beautiful Swimmers and as an MC in Food For Animals. I started Future Times, my label, a few years ago because my friends and I had more tracks than we could keep to ourselves. I love for my music to bang in big speakers but I have equal love and happiness for their role as landmarks in a personal, tropical world of my own.”

“Cool Water is a straight up trip through me. “Pretty Please” is on some boogie party fly shit, and the rest of the tracks sort of travel down from there like some DNA, just unraveling all the zones that I go into; “Sno Mega” is for rollerskates, “Way Down” is an earth tone blast, “Girls Dream” is slow ocean disco, “Rhythm track For Rashied Ali” is a house slam in honor of the illest drummer ever, “Lemon & Lime” is what happened when I got really into this one Polygon Window song this year.  “Original Soundtrack Flutes” is my New Age anthem. And “Breathe What U Say” lays it all out at the end like some Brian Eno + Cluster meets T-Pain vibe – just layers and layers of me breathing into a vocoder, dripping away.”

Forthcoming on Sept 6th Aquatic Lab is a debut LP from New Zealand based production unit Truth, entitled “Puppets”.

Since their debut appearance on Deep Medi Music, Truth has been hard at work on their LP and now it’s ready to drop. With the initial album sampler (LAB010 ‘Dead Silence’ & ‘Burglar’) laying the foundations, the second 12” LAB011 (forthcoming on 9th August) reinforces with ‘Juno’ & ‘Under Current’, two huge stepper grooves layered with more than enough weight for the shockout. The album itself ‘Puppets’ is a dense trip through moody big bass-driven soundscapes that include some of their finest work in the form of ‘The Fatman’, ‘Lab Rat’ and a VIP of the previously released ‘Terror Planet’. Also on the roster, Truth’s ‘Legion’, possibly their most sought-after riddim to date, which brings their trademark sound signatures of sweeping synths and massive amounts of bass fully into place. ‘Pup- pets’ touches on many styles such as the liquid offering of ‘Indigo Mood’, or the almost genre defying vocal lick ‘Don’t Explain’. ‘Puppets’ is a full bodied experience from start to finish – for darkly elegant dubstep it doesn’t get much better than this.

Truth

Truth have received DJ support around the globe from artists such as Mala, Skream, Joe Nice, Breakage, Hatcha and N Type, with their beats being dropped at shows from Club Love in New York City to DMZ in London, as well as featur- ing on radio stations BBC Radio One, Kiss and Rinse. Two comprehensive Europe tours and a string of gigs around Australia and Asia, have included an appearance at the legendary DMZ night in Brixton and the infamous Sub Dub in Leeds.

Truth’s big riddims have been quickly snatched up by a number of established labels such as seminal Deep Medi Musik and Skream’s Disfigured Dubs. Alix Perez has included his collaboration with Truth on his debut album ’1984′ and the group have remixed the likes of The Nextmen, Ms Dynamite and Silverclub.

I witnessed N Type drop this track back in april and it caused complete chaos – listening to this on anything other than a proper system just doesn’t do this one justice, make sure you turn this one right up to capture the destructive bassline and nasty switches throughout.

Right now the artist is unconfirmed but it’s gonna be dropping later this year. only Skream, N Type, Benga, Hatcha, Kromestar and Chef have this so to hear it played out is a rare experience.
Remember to turn this one right up.
