New D&B CD
SUBTLE004CD – Various – Subtle Audio Vol II (3XCD) – CDX 3
3X CD– two are unmixed and crammed with 26 tracks of varying shapes and styles, the other is a mix up of Subtle Audio releases past, present and future by label head honcho Code. CD’s 1 & 2 feature well established artists alongside others who are just beginning to make a name for themselves. Each artist / production team contributes two tracks, giving them extra breadth to showcase different styles and moods. Reinforced Records veteran Alpha Omega (aka Nubian Minds) goes uptempo and atmospheric with “Impulse” and downtempo and quirky with “Highway Cruising”. Sileni, of Planet Mu fame, supplies the beat-less intro for the album and also a collage of pitched snares and seething hiss on “Real Horrorshow”. France’s Naibu has made waves over the last few years with a series of quality releases (including his self titled debut album) and he continues to strengthen his reputation here with a unique soundscape produced for a short animated film, aswell as a finely honed piece of breakbeat called “Nightscape”. Dissident also had a highly acclaimed album release recently, under his Kontext alias (which he uses for his work outside of D&B). Here we get both sides of coin with the jerky original version of Kontext’s “Thaw” on Disc 1 and a kick driven D&B remix by Dissident on Disc 2. Another artist in the limelight presently is Austria’s Sub – he follows his recent Subtle Audio vinyl excursion with the live jazz sound of “Sensualism” and the dark, half-step sound of “Katana”. DSP spices things up with two collaborative efforts. “Lyrica Haze” resulted from a studio session with scene legend DJ Trax and check out his hook-up with recent Rephlex signing Macc for some interesting breakbeat flexing and a mysterious atmosphere. Also featured are (relatively) new names such as Mindmapper, Fre4knc, Nic TVG, San.Dra, Earl Grey, Parallel, CJ Weaver, Indidjinous and The Blunt Needles / Enjoy. For the mix CD 3, Code has pieced together a fluid mix of Subtle Audio material past, present and future. This is certainly one of the deepest mixes you’ll hear this year, a real journey full of everything from old old funk breaks and glitch-ifed beats to trippy synthesisers and moody jazz mixed with great fluidity.

New D&B Releases

The final 12” Vinyl taken from the Turn The Page album.

EXITLP006 – Genotype – Ritual Dance LP – 3×10”
After a lengthy break from the electronic music world, Genotype is back with an LP for Exit Records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. Having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias Just Jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as Trouble On Vinyl, Renegade Hardware and Reinforced Records, its no surprise that he’s managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of Jungle. Many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but Genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. The dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for West Indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. Genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.
1 Genotype – Ritual Dance
2 Genotype – The Ital Lion (feat Loxy)

TRIPS004 – Silent Witness – Brainedrain / Frozen Still – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. A. Silent Witness – Brainedrain opens up with an uplifting sound scape of lush chords, tight beats, and bass growls that rises up to a devastating drop of titan like proportions. Drums and bass dance with each other along the way, taking in turn-around tripwires and reverb bombs. It eventually settles with a break down consisting of twisted pitch drops and euphoric anticipation. The second drop then kicks in with a different twist on the bass frenzy witnessed earlier. Simply Disgusting. AA. Silent Witness – Frozen Still still harks back to the vibes of jungle with an eerie wash amidst classic stabs and vocal snippets. This sound is updated with contemporary minimal drums, exciting rhythmic frills, and a rolling sub bass designed to smother everyone in the Silent Witness ether. Bass stabs and moody pads prevail with time stretched fills electrocuting all in it’s path. Dangerous business! DJ Support: Klute, Break, Survival, Ant C, Fierce, Noisia, Silver, Vicious Circle, Cause 4 Concern,Friction.

SUBTLE004EP – Various – Subtle Audio Vol II – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy promo. This is the second compilation album from Ireland’s ever inventive Subtle Audio label. With Dj’s as diverse as Mary Anne Hobbs of BBC Radio 1, Bailey on BBC Radio 1Xtra and possibly the best-known name in electronica, Aphex Twin playing Subtle Audio material regularly, you can rest assured that this is Drum & Bass beyond the normal scope and will be enjoyed by many who thought they didn’t like that style of music! The Vinyl side of the project holds 5 exclusive tracks. On disc 1, Requiem kicks things off in style with heavy hitting drum onslaught of “Ancient Dub” while on the flip-side the sweet ambient breakbeat of Accidental Style’s “Space Funkt” is one of the most delicately delivered pieces of music you’ll hear this year. Disc 2 takes in the soaring synths of Mecca’s “Virtual Affair”, the ratchet and wrench inspired percussives of “Janne” by Dan Habarnam and a 170 bpm VIP version of Sub’s downtempo jazz offering on the CD version of this release – “Sensualism”. As you will hear, these producers are bringing fresh ideas and an experimental ethos to the sound of Drum & Bass. We’re looking forward to hearing what they come up with next! Watch this space.

You know Citrus has that standard quality feel and again they smash this release in their own way.. bringing 2 heavyweight tech infused rollers to the plate to continue the Citrus Saga. First up its Morebeats ‘I’m not a monster’ and their dead right with the title because this tune isn’t a monster.. it’s a Behemoth.. Acid like bleeps, crunching bass lines and punching kicks.. The rushing sounds remind you of older Konflict material with a dash of BSE.. If you still have no clue who Morebeat is by now then better start backtracking these guys. Flip it over to side B for Nphonix & Enei’s ‘Quicksilver’ if your into rollers then oooh baby.. this one is an essential one.. These funky beats will not leave you alone on the dance floor for one minute.. Quicksilver takes the funky dnb section for a ride on this one.. If you are into the old stuff of Noisia or Ed Rush & Optical then you should 100% give this a listen..

ISP005 – Arkist & Komonazmuk – Outbreak / Until Next Time – 12″ Vinyl
Ever-versatile, Komonazmuk has seen varied releases on labels including Combat Recordings and Apple Pips, as well as a number of legendary remixes alongside Appleblim, including Brian Eno and Bonobo. His hotly anticipated album is due out on H.E.N.C.H in 2011. Arkist is a fresh face with a fresh sound straight out of Bristol’s creative melting-pot. Newly released from beneath the mentoring wings of Komonazmuk and Appleblim, his slick productions have already been slated for release on DecaRhythm, Apple Pips and Subdepth Records. A. Arkist & Komonazmuk – ‘Outbreak’ – Is it a bird, is it a plane? Arkist & Komonazmuk’s collaborative effort sticks to ISP’s ‘it’s-impossible-to-pin-down’ mantra, dipping its beak into the waters of electro, robo-funk, dubstep… possibly even harking back to a long-forgotten time when breakbeat was interesting. Straight up, no messing, ‘Outbreak’ comes with its weighty, synthesised beats from the go. After the drop the bassline strolls along playfully below a mirror of the same in light-footed melody. Around the halfway mark the ghosts of former rave stabs and an acid synth line add to an already eclectic sound. Watch out for the growling switch-up in the second drop. DJ support from: Appleblim, the Foreign Beggars, HENCH, Maryanne Hobbs etc AA. Arkist – ‘Until Next Time’ – The spikey breakbeats and spliced vocals of the intro give little warning of the rich sonics and warm compression of the track that follows the drop. It’s dubstep Jim, but not as we know it… not a wobble in sight but smooth sub-bass pulses position this track firmly on the dancefloor, while a fluid, saturdated melody and glistening top end show exactly why Arkist’s production standards have been turning heads in the scene recently. Never one to sit back and ride the loop, ‘Until Next Time’ is no different, with Arkist repeatedly shifting through gears of sub-heavy groove. If Ibiza was built for bass-heads, this track would be wearing the needles out at the Cafe del Mar. DJ Support from: Scuba, Headhunter, Appleblim etc.

HENCH021 – Chasing Shadows – Red (Chasing Shadows Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
Black Vinyl only. 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!

DUBLINE007 – Vaski – I Only Date Aliens / Robot Sounds – 12″ Vinyl

MR011 – Jamie George – Flying Saucer (Ft Roska & J Kenzo Remixes) – 12″ Vinyl
Roska’s Kicks and Snares/RKS is back with another big release, and this time it comes courtesy of Jamie George with the hotly anticipated Flying Saucer. First picked up by DJ Oneman, making it a feature on his Rinse mix cd, support for this track has grown and grown with well known acts such as Toddla T, Hot Chip and Tomb Crew repping it hard. Combining elements of UKG, House and Dubstep Jamie has created an instant classic that has worked hard to earn this release and the plays of DJ’s all across the country. Roska himself steps up with the first remix, a re-imagining with special attention on the percussion, elements of tribal and dancehall peel back the layers of the original in the way that only a talented minimalist like Roska can. With his speciality lying in the truly funky Roska drops a mix that literally drags you up to your feet and pushes you harder the longer it’s played. J Kenzo, of Dub Police fame, completes the package with a much darker, harder affair. You get the impression he took the original track and made it watch the entire Saw series back to back with Halloween then sent it back scarred forever. In all seriousness Kenzo has a real talent for creating dark, bass driven tracks and he has expanding on that here adding heavy portions of electro and old school to compose a truly original mix. Check them out and get back to us.

This track has been receiving a lot of interest from DJ’s across the board with regular airplay from Radio 1’s Nihal, Zane Lowe, Mercury Award Winner Nitin Sawhney and not to mention Dubstep headliners in abundance. Don’t Sleep rounds up insistent synth stabs and Bollywood strings on a hard halfstep to bring razor edged skankers vibes in true Eastern Dubstep fashion. Jack Sparrow is another producer in the spotlight having released his debut album ‘Circadian’ on the infamous Tectonic Recordings in October of this year. This will be his very first release since the launch of his masterpiece and is definitely one which highlights his ability to adapt to any style whatever the occasion. Having had ample radio exposure on Radio 1 (Maryanne Hobbs), Kiss 100 (DJ Hatcha) and Rinse Fm for many months, this track is heavily in demand and is creating a strong interest from DJ’s across the board. ‘Way Out West’ is a Shackleton-inspired fusion of spooked atmospherics and gloomy bass with tribal percussion for the dancefloor shakers. Perhaps imagine a space between Kryptic Minds, Shackleton and Mala and ‘Way Out West’ is right there. L-Wiz are Liquid Dubstep’s forefathers and with this melancholic and dreamy production, ‘Lips’ is no exception to the Swedish producers’ resume. With a vast spectrum of releases on the world famous Dub Police label, the dynamic duo are behind the controls to deliver an effortless, breezy Dubstep sound anchored in mid-summer. ‘Lips’ revolves around light piano cascades over a straight and ultraclean halfstep evolving into what can only be described as a killer synth lead. This really is liquid dubstep at the highest level, with regular airplay from Caspa and Anti Social UK, ‘Lips’ is a must have for all sofa-step connoisseurs. Von D is another Liquid Dubstep icon who has been selected for the Social Circles EP to bring another awesome flip to contrast in phenomenal fashion. Argon’s enlist Von D is France’s premier ‘step export with a resume full of tropical and picturesque releases from ‘Its Over’ on Boka to ‘Miss Maui’ featured on Dubstep Allstars 7 – ‘Incognito’ is not in any way an exception. With regular airplay from Chef, Tes La Rok and Bun Zero, ‘Incognito’ brings to you a well sought after roller using flash synthlines and subbass turbulence that can only be achieved by a certain few. Absolument Magnifique!
