New D ‘n’ B CD
NZLP002CD Innuendo Phase Two – Trei Samurai Music CD
Samurai Music is proud to present its first full artist LP / CD to follow on from the successful ‘Way Of The Samurai’ compilation. INNUENDO is the debut album from emerging New Zealand drum and bass talent TREi. Deftly juxtaposing jump-up dance floor grooves with traditionalist melodic song-writing and the odd touch of Pop arrangement, INNUENDO’s divergent sonic landscape stays grounded through the common threads of decidedly futurist synthetic soundscapes and chest pounding, subwoofer rupturing low-slung bass lines. Working with the likes of vocalists Lisa Tomlins and Thomas Oliver (of the Thomas Oliver Band) and fellow producer’s State of Mind, Dose, Teknik and Southern Soul, TREi has crafted a cohesive twelve song deep full-listening experience as much driven by hooks and general musicality as explosive drum and bass pressure. Delving into sample driven “Bristol Sound” recalling vibes on ‘Shame’, exploring infectious pop rock style hooks on ‘Lead Me On’ (a collaboration with rising New Zealand rock singer Thomas Oliver), roping in legendary local diva Lisa Tomlins to add a touch of the ethereal to his explosive grooves on ‘Still Remains’ and paying homage to the 90s techno scene on ‘Push’ (produced with Southern Soul), with INNUENDO, TREi makes his artistic intent crystal clear, in the process proving himself worthy of rank alongside the divergent upper echelons of talent within the international music community.

FOKUZ2009007CD Hidden Depth (2xCD) – Brother Fokuz Recordings CD x 2
Brother, one of the treasures of the deep, has been a Fokuz favourite for a long time. After signing tracks to a few singles, and some tracks on the Fokuz various artists albums, we thought it was time for Brother to move up to a next level. Brother is known for his incredible warm sounds. When listening to his tunes you get warped back in to time, sitting in the back of a dodgy jazz club, drinking a beer , smoking a cigarillo, while listening to some live musicians playing trumpet, the piano and a bass guitar. Hidden Depth is his debut album, and gives us a proper view of what this man is capable of. First up we will release a digital single which will be the teaser of what is to come. Following you will see 2 tracks hit the vinyl market aka FOKUZ 037, followed by a Double CD featuring 21 tracks, covering all directions within the atmospheric drum & bass market. The album features 1 CD with all new unreleased material & a bonus CD with unreleased tracks, down tempo tracks, and some re-releases of earlier material. For the real vinyl freaks amongst us, Fokuz has decided to stick 8 of the best tracks on one piece of vinyl, with a nice sleeve and full colour artwork.

OSR022 Sweet Spot / Radiate – Alley Cat / Vaccine Offshore 12″ Vinyl
Alley Cat “Sweet Spot” Perhaps D&B’s most underrated female DJ is back in the studio again. Offshore is proud to host her first production resurfacing- “Sweet Spot”. A very progressive and forward thinking piece of music. Some would say that it fits into the current ‘minimal’ sound being championed by Instramental and D-Bridge, but why pigeon hole it? Vaccine “Radiate” Yet another edm vixen, Vaccine flips this girl power 12″ with a Dubstep offering. “Radiate” is both sparkling and beautiful, yet a bit grimey underneath.

SS013 Pressure Of 10,000 / Flatline – Dub-One / G-Netic Soothsayer Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Building on the momentum of the monumental SS012 Enduser Remixes and Niskala’s debut 12inch on the new sublabel, Tenebrae, Soothsayer continues the aural onslaught with SS013 Dub-one – ‘Pressure of 10,000′ b/w G-Netic -’Flatline’. After three years Dub- One returns to Soothsayer with the magnificent jungle smasher, ‘Pressure of 10,000′. His Soothsayer debut , ‘Cry of war’, (SS008) contributed a new sound to the ever changing Soothsayer menagerie. In the meantime the Sussex based badman has been honing his skills for prestigious labels like Xtinction Agenda and Scientifc Wax, which he co-operates with Equinox. Pressure of 10,000 adds yet another dimension to the Soothsayer oeuvre, a disgustingly sordid improvement upon the classic jungle sound. We’ve seen fit to feed the lions on this one with the most delectable beats, bass, mentasm, and just a touch of timestretch flange for the roughnecks. Tarzan has been notified! Los Angeles based G-Netic makes his Soothsayer debut with the industrial crust core ‘Flatline’ Having seen release on the splinterbeats label, Mindsaw, we’re very fortunate to have procured his sophmore offering for SS013. Flatline is overflowing with trash can beats and pummeling machine gun breaks, harder and nastier than ‘Low Profile Darkness’ era Panacea whilst being exponentially better produced and engineered. Rabid Rottweiler beats designed for a reckoning on the dancefloor.
a Dub-One – Pressure Of 10,000

New Dubstep Releases
EAR011 The Blues – I.D. & Skinnz Earwax 12″ Vinyl
Earwax steps a little deeper for their next outing on vinyl with 2 killer tracks from new names on the dubstep scene – production duo Skinnz & I.D. ‘The Blues’ is a deep and tribal affair laiden with warm muffled pads and gut wrenching soudsystem subs. The heavily swung conga workout that forms a backbone to the rhythm is both hypnotic and energising and quickly conjures images of a late night tribal gethering around a voodoo bonfire! As the track works into a breakdown it resurfaces, touched with a gentle melodic layer akin to Mala circa 2005. Quality dance music for your mind and feet! Flip for ‘Issues’ as the duo show in one release the breadth of their skills with this soulful roller. Combining a driving 2step beat with playful congas, a diving bassline and muted housey stabs – this rhythm swings from dark smokey corners into skanking, grooving party vibes.

HENCH010 Drumstick – Giant Hench 12″ Vinyl
Marking the tenth release on HENCH, enter production trio, Giant – composed of Enei, Ekta and Nersa – these boys have been killing it on the dubstep front from the heart of St Petersburg for the last couple of years now. Here they bring us a bit of their dark Russian vibes in ‘Drumstick’ and ‘Swoosh’. A – DRUMSTICK – Squeaking synths and vocodered SFX are the order of the day in ‘Drumstick’, and the tune drops into a wobbly b-line number with plenty of grimy beats and retro sounding sampling. Giant keep it stripped back for the rest of the ‘Drumstick’, with great effect. With heavy subs and intensely dark bass, expect to be blown away by the sheer intensity of this ‘Drumstick’. AA – SWOOSH – If that’s not enough for you, then ‘Swoosh’ over to the flip for more heavy beats. An alarm siren wails for the first ten seconds, grabbing your attention, before the main beat and wobby b-line kick in and the layers of sound build up. Experimental, with jingling sounds, percussion and vocodered clips, the tune swooshes in and out, focusing on different sounds at different times. Top notch – this is going be beyond big, it’s going to be GIANT!

SUB005 Dub Sessions I – Shed SubSolo 12″ Vinyl
Displaying his excellent production skills within techno, Shed moves over to straight up dub sessions with the ‘Dub Shed Sessions I’ on SubSolo. Fierce bass meditative drops circles around the excellent atmospheric keyboard patterns, combined in a way that sounds both fresh and unique, but still rating 100% on Shed’s own trademark sound. Leaning towards a bit of contemporary straight dub techno with ‘Dub Shed – STP Remix’, the focus is on a more direct and present take on the tracks progression, rather than inviting the listener into an already set-up wall of sound. Shaking off the melody from the centre, the spacious patterns reveal themselves as the extreme basslines comes in, removing all doubt about the direction of the track. Taking the very straight up techno track from ‘WAX No. 10001′ B side, Shed displays yet another moniker(?) as Panamax, fusing the same linear groove from the original but taking the tempo down to inhumane tempo and filling the already colourful spectrum with wide percussion and even more slow building electric synthesizer swirls. review taken from the http://thefuturist.se

NL004 Speak – Scuba Naked Lunch 10″ Vinyl
You haven’t worked in weeks. You’re unshaven and unkempt, your fridge is as bare as the dying light of a Sunday afternoon spent alone is bleak. Your rent is in arrears, and you dread the thought of more bills arriving through the door tomorrow. You spend more money on whiskey and weed than you spend on food, and have recently taken to shoplifting cheese from the supermarket. Barefoot, in your underwear still, you walk over to your record player, still faithfully spinning around and around and around since God knows what time this morning when the last people left… You reach for the record you walked into town to buy, pull it from it’s sleeve, still fresh despite a gathering storm of your greasy fingerprints clouding it like uncertainty clouds your future. For five and a half minutes you stand listening, eyes closed, and your troubles fall away. You flip the record over and, for a further five and a half minutes of pure joy, you hear that which few others ever will. THE FUTURE IS NAKED DJ support from: Martyn, Scuba, 2562, TRG, Breakage, Brendon Moeller, Floating Points, Mary Anne Hobbs & Instra:mental.

*Special white vinyl pressing for the first 500 copies only* Part man/part machine Hizatron takes Berkane Sol in a new acidic direction with the outstanding tune that is Von Glooperstein. Atmospheric, refined, techy, funky and deranged are all accurate descriptions of this ever evolving masterclass in gloop. Beautiful digi bells, crisp clicks and clacks and a monster lead line all combine to work even the most demanding dancefloor. This tune will mix with UK Funky just as well as it does with techno and house.
It features on the recent Geiom FACT magazine mix. http://www.sendspace.com/file/yydm34
In a manic attempt to fuse half step, electro booty bass, niche and primates into one coherent whole, Geiom came up with the delicious mongrel known as Bubbles. Wonky synths collide with tuff drum patterns in a tense, restless fashion which peaks with a kind of homage to the Midlands favourite underground genre, Bassline house. There’s a kind of psychedelic terror at the heart of this tune but its way too playful to ever become truly menacing….Both these tunes demonstrate the high standard of musical creativity that is coming out of Nottingham right now, but give no indication of an easy to identify style. Which is just how we like it! All the latest Berkane Sol developments will be showcased at our forthcoming head to head with the Blunted Robots – Fabric/October 9th.
