New D&B CD


SUICIDECD008 Music For Prophet – Klute Commercial Suicide CD x 2
Klute’s first album in 2 years titled ‘Music for Prophet’, on his own ‘Commercial Suicide’ imprint. As on his previous albums, Klute stays true to himself with another non-commercial, yet 100% dancefloor friendly longplayer that – just like his excellent dj sets – offers the right balance of musical tunes alongside some real heavy hitters. Tom Withers, started back in 1994, i think when he was asked for a name to keep exclusive to Certificate 18 records when they agreed on 2 tracks to be his first single. It was there he stayed until 2000 when he delivered his 2nd final album for Cert 18 called Fear Of People. At this point in time Tom decided to make a change and realising no one else was interested in releasing his music decided to set up his own label. With his own platform set up he realized anything was possible, he could even release music by other idiots. Which he did. Perhaps too much. An interesting fact no one knows about Tom Klute is that he is the world’s leading composer of Airport music. Most of you who’ve travelled the friendly skys will have unknowingly heard his works at one time or another. Now we come to 2010 and Klute is ready for fucking more, and more it is with his 6th album “Music for Prophet”. All of Klute’s previous albums have been released to critical acclaim and this one will not stand behind, showing that Klute’s consistency as an artist reaches into 2010 and beyond. The album which also features a collaboration with Dom & Roland will be released as triple coloured vinyl, 2 X CD and Digital download. The additional CD & digital download package promises bonus material including techno tracks.

New D&B Releases

INMIN001    Only Words – Blue Motion    Influenza Media    12″ Vinyl
After a lengthy successful run with Influenza Media and Influenza Digital, label owner, Eros comes through with a brand new sub-label for 2010, Influenza Minus. Targeted to a deeper, minimal, experimental sound, the imprint will feature an A list of talent, including Triad, Brandon Miles, Tricky Pat, Blue Motion, Mister Sizef, Unquote, Glen E Ston, Decem, Dominic Ridgeway, Eleven8, Molecular Structures, Material, Reza, CJ Weaver, Omnius and many more. Influenza Minus will be available in vinyl, digital and compact disc format. If you take a trip back to Influenza Media 007, you might remember the fantastic uptempo vibes of Blue Motion’s ‘Only Words VIP.’ Influenza Minus 001 revisits this glorious track, bringing forth the original mix and a remix by Triad, the collaboration of Basti (which is also a collaboration between Madmen and Poets from Phunkfiction) and Henree. The trio has music out on Deep Soul Music, Horizons Music, Critical, X-tinction and Engine Music, and one of their most recent releases Omar featuring Estelle – Lay It Down (Triad Remix) has just been released on Peppermint Jam. In Blue Motion’s original mix, progressive, steppy vibes roll this one in before the melodic hook takes over. Very minimal in nature with a warm bassline, samples and piano lines build endlessly and seamlessly before making way for Triad’s teched out sound. A moody bassline sets the atmosphere with arpeggios of angelic voices, leading into a moment of silence before the drop. Fans of Critical Recordings, Subtitles and Quarantine would love this one.

OK020    OK020 The Remixes – Raiden    Offkey 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy This is a landmark release for Offkey Music. It marks twenty releases in the last five years. From singles to EPs to an Album It has been tough but equally rewarding experience. The label has reached beyond our expectations and we wanted to mark it suitably, Thus for this release we are proud to bring you two remixes from the labels back catalogue, courtesy of Inneractive’s Spirit & Shogun Audio’s Icicle. Raiden- M82: Spirit Remix: The original track was a rolling yet edit heavy drum work out from Raiden, big on the bass and rich textures as you would expect. M82 signalled a new concentration on bass weight from Raiden and began to prick the ears of deejays. Spirit was one of the first to pick up on the track so there was no better choice for the rework, Spirit has further stripped back the track to its core elements and has in turn found another groove to exploit, A great rework from a dance music veteran. Pounding bass and stepping drums are the order of the day!
Raiden & Khanage: King Stays King: Icicles Royal Treatment: ‘Kings’ is a track that has achieved the honour of being the most played track in the labels history, the list of deejays who played the original reads like a who’s who of drum n bass. There were few choices for remixing the track, Icicle was number one the list and to the labels pleasure, the coldest producer in the land jumped at the chance & delivered everything you would expect, juggernaught drums laced with only the best bass from the Dutch wonder. As soon as the track went public the reactions were instantaneous, rounding off a landmark release for Offkey Music. Heres to the future!

BMT003    Natural History Remixes: Part 1 – Blu Mar Ten    Blu Mar Ten    12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. This summer, Blu Mar Ten follows up the success of their 2009 LP ‘Natural History’ with a two-part set of remixes that bring together the finest in fresh and established talent from across the globe. DJ support is coming in from right across the scene, including London Elektricity, Friction, Doc Scott, Lynx, John B, Nookie and many more.
Overwhelm (Seba remix): Seba assaults the calm of the original ‘Overwhelm’ with a battery of old skool breaks and signature cosmic sweeps that recall the highlights of the Good Looking Records era. Lifting the tune away from the bedroom and up towards the dancefloor Seba’s remix has immediately become a favourite of some of the biggest names in d&b, effortlessly demonstrating why he’s remained at the top of the game for more than 15 years.
Seba’s remix of ‘Overwhelm’ is featured on DJ Friction’s forthcoming mix CD for Ministry of Sound. Believe Me (Bop remix): Bop takes the opposite route with his interpretation of ‘Believe Me’, opening up a bottomless well of reverb and throwing the components of the original into it, piece by piece. The result is a beautiful inversion of the original, showcasing the near-beatless melancholy the young Russian has become famous for.

RAMP032CD Idiot Box – P.U.D.G.E Ramp Recordings CD
Although you may not have yet heard his name, P.U.D.G.E. has been bubbling up in U.S. beat scene for many years. At age 9, his father gave him a Bass, a Juno synth, a DX drum machine and a Tascam 4 track. He encouraged the boy to start making his own music; P.U.D.G.E. got the bug. By the time young P.U.D.G.E. (thus called because at school he was always extra medium, or less than chubby) hit 13, he had discovered turntableism, and started DJing at house parties around NYC. By his late teens, he had emerged as a promising emcee, standing next to many of the well-known emcees from the Lyricist Lounge; including Mos Def & El P. Still producing, P.U.D.G.E.’s music was starting to gain attention, and his first beat was released on the Vinyl Junkies debut EP. After hearing about the emerging beat scene in L.A., he moved there in 2004, and started getting a few production credits under his belt, including cuts for Rawkus Records and Stacey Epps. After circulating some of his instrumental beat tapes, interest for P.U.D.G.E. started to gain momentum. Early this year, P.U.D.G.E. headed up All Cty’s L.A. series, on a split 10” with Dibiase, preceeding releases from Ras G, Samiyam & Matthewdavid.

RNG010    Jays Reese / The Intro – L.D vs Clue Kid    Ringo Records 12″ Vinyl
A strand emerging within dubstep is a mutant jungle strain within the sound. Needless to say, it’s impossible to imagine dubstep without the DNA of jungle: it’s prominent in so many ways and places, from Burial’s Foul Play influences to Loefah’s love of the sound itself. Members of the scene used to DJ jungle, from N Type and Kode9 to Jason (Transition’s mighty mastering engineer). In fact the whole “dark” component that makes dubstep distinct from UK garage has its roots in El-B’s twin love of Metalheadz and 2step. Jungle is less an influence on dubstep, more like the foundation on which the whole scene, via garage, was built. But in spite of all that, a re-emphasis on jungle-flavored dubs is emerging within dubstep; songs that use chopped breaks, epic pads, and vocal samples like it was 1994, from producers LD and Cluekid. words by Martin Clark

HENCH018 Disgustin Justin / Metalfoot – Lost Hench 12″ Vinyl
Having already graced Hench with his debut release, Ironhide / Slaughtered, Justin Cantor, a.k.a Lost, brings his latest batch of weaponry. With his debut releases on Hench being deemed strong enough to appear next to some of the scene’s biggest producers, such as Jakes, Komonazmuk and Chasing Shadows. Since that first release, Lost has been a regular feature in Get Darker TV’s live shows and this new offering will not disappoint fans. a. Distustin Justin – Cutting straight to the chase, Lost captures the sub-bass perspective of 90’s dance culture perfectly with Disgustin Justin. With the swinging bassline making creating a raw and dubby atmosphere, you can immediately tell that this was built to be played on a big soundsystem. Scattered high-hats and glitches keep the momentum rolling forward solidly. Estranged vocal in the background and the percussive drums add to the tripped-out mood of this production. From the evidence shown here, there is no doubt that Lost’s sound is maturing. aa. An eerie soundscape guides us into Metalfoot – leading you into a false sense of security whilst building to the drop. And when this fat, chrome-guilded bassline drops in you gather an understanding of where the inspiration for this track’s name came from. Slow-drawing snare, pulsating sub- bass and ticking high hats provide the ingredients for this dread-inducing track. This one’s a real grower and is going to be turning heads when it gets dropped on the dancefloor. DJ support for both tracks from: Jakes, Mistajam, Hatcha, Cyrus, N-Type, Darkside, Noah D, Datsik, Breezy and more.

SUBWAY014    Recovery / Headlock – Taz Buckfaster    Subway 12″ Vinyl
Taz Buckfaster.. A name thats been popping alot recently and no wonder. Cause this Scotsman has been making some extreme riddims! A producer that can flex to any side if he wants to and for his Subway debut he concocted 2 heavyweight dancefloor monsters that will leave the crowd begging for more. “Recovery” strikes like a ton of bricks. The heavy bleeped out intro is only camouflage cause after the towering drop itll smash your face in proper. Nasty gnarling midranges terrorise this heavyweight tune giving it that special Subway edge. On “Headlock” Taz shows he can wobble his gut any way he can… Get ready for a epic drunken wobbling style track thats bound to create pits around the globe… The unexpected edits give this tune the WOW factor Subway has been craving all along. This release has been gaining support among some of the key players representing this sound. Play Support: 16Bit, Trolley Snatcha, Datsik, Funtcase, Jakes, 501, Flux Pavilion, Doctor P & Loads More!

HRMN012    On The Low – Randy Barracuda    Harmonia 12″ Vinyl
After a decade of bitter tears and hopeless trying our Finnish funkster Randy Barracuda has finally reached his ultimate goal as an artist. He has managed to combine successfully the music of his two favourite composers: Klaus Schulze and Lil’ Jon. ‘Impossible’, You may say. Well, don’t believe the hype. Take a listen to Streisand Effect’s booming crunk beats, heavy basses, epic synthesizer leads and cristallic arpeggios and choose for yourself. Dubstep – hero Tes La Rok’s outstanding remix stays true to the original but adds some extra dubby aesthetics to Randy’s storming soccer stadium skweee vibes. Backside of the record is dominated by more moody and naturalistic atmospheres. Tako To Ama (The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife) is Randy’s homage to the grandiose tradition of Japanese tentacle erotica. In its Asiatic moods and sharp synthesizer stabs You can almost feel the slippery tentacles of an octopus wandering around in your bodily cavities! Record comes to an end with Lebensraum, an eight minute long meditative disco reggae. On Lebensraum the listener finds a totally new aspect of Randy Barracuda’s aural art: gone are the rapid staccato melodies and usual stiff funkiness. Maybe Credit00, a mysterious East-German bongo player, gave the track its naturalistic charm and the comfy aura of a forest in the springtime.

PSQ003 Pinpoint / Diver – L-OW Project Squared 12″ Vinyl
Finish Copy Promo’s. The third release on Project Squared features on it’s A side two tracks of Techno infused Dubstep from L-OW, an Estonian producer who has been building a reputation and discography since 2008 with a string of excellent releases. The first track, “Pinpoint”, has an energetic drive and pace despite it’s syncopated individual rhythmical elements. L-OW fuses these disparate elements to make a dance floor track with impact and depth. L-OW’s second track is Diver; a more reflective and introspective piece than Pinpoint, this is not a recording to play at the height of a set, but is more a piece focussed on mood and depth. On the B side, Bristol based artist Furesshu remixes Diver, taking elements of the original 140bpm Dubstep track and applying them to a 127bpm Techno framework. After a well received debut release on Project Squared that has garnered DJ play from the likes of Sigha , Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock, Furesshu has produced a superb remix as a follow up. He strips back the original to a haunting, industrial, emotive melodic element, and drives the pace of the remix with cymbal lead drum lines and expansive bass. Mastered at Optimum, Bristol, United Kingdom.

a1 L-OW – Pinpoint
a2 L-OW – Diver
b L-OW – Diver (Furesshu’s Die Welle Edit)

ASC004 Thru The Blinds – DJ Kromestar Cloqworq Recordings 12″ Vinyl
This white label promo release needs no introduction as one of the leading pioneers of UK Dubstep provides the second release written especially for Anti Social’s Cloqworq Records. DJ Kromestar has proved his talent time and time again over the past four years through a string of releases with the infamous Deep Medi label and Dubstar Records, alongside others. Kromestar has broken boundaries from the very start of his career producing club smashers such as ‘Get Up’ and ‘Kalawanji’ aswell as bringing to you the more soulful, meditational vibes such as ‘Galactic War’ from the debut album ‘My Sound’ and not to mention a barrage of anthems he released on the mix compilation last year entitled ‘The Other Side’ which he describes as strictly experimental 140. DJ Kromestar has and will be one to watch for the foreseeable future standing as one of the most exciting and not to mention groundbreaking producers to have entered the genre. ‘Thru The Blinds’ is a clever combination of sub low bass pressure with the eerie yet emotive atmospherics to put any dancefloor into a meditational trance – Dark and moody dub vibes with a killer low end sub over a tribal beat pattern in true Kromestar style. This is a real stomper of a hit. ‘Love’ takes a different stance on the B side delving into the more experimental side of this producer’s catalogue – smooth, eclectic pads dropping into low down sub stabs over another unconventional but highly effective beat. This represents the other side to the anti social sound which can only be described of as the deeper liquid Dubstep sound in trademark style.
Both tracks have had support on the highly acclaimed rinse fm on a weekly basis (WWW.RINSE.FM) and are receiving heavy rotation from DJs such as SKREAM, MALA AND N-TYPE in the clubs and not to mention major dubstep icons such as HATCHA from KISS 100 and MARYANNE HOBBS from RADIO 1, This highlights the versatility of these tracks and the potential to cross into Dj sets from different genres. These are both long awaited releases having caused a lot of interest on dubstepforum.com as well as having been reviewed on various portals and online magazines such as GetDarker.com and also residentadvisor.net – a real must for all serious dubsteppers worldwide

Coming soon – ASC “Nothing Is Certain” LP [Nonplus Records]

Posted 26 May 2010 | By Editor | Categories: news, tracks | No Comments

Forthcoming on Instra:mental’s Nonplus Records label is a debut LP from US based producer ASC, entitled “Nothing Is Certain”. It is due for release on 12th July 2010 on CD, 3×12″ Vinyl and Digital Download.

Since his first appearance on Nonplus, ASC has been hard at work on his LP and its finally here.
Starting with a 12” sampler he dives right in at the deep end with ‘Phobos’ in which electronic grooves and micro samples entwine against a backdrop of dramatic tones and industrial hits. Followed on the same side by the atmospheric hiatus ‘Oort Cloud’ you have a good inclination of the impending album by now, but are also treated to the AA-side ‘Matter Of Time’. Like a continuation of his debut Nonplus 12” track ‘Porcelain’, his crafty use of oriental sounding percussion, windlike sounds and melodies combined with an efficacious bass line make this track very hard to listen to in its entirety before you reach for the reset.


ASC

The album touches on many genres from start to finish such as the 4×4 offering of ‘Textura’, or the almost indescribable step of ‘Yatta’, but one common theme that this album holds throughout is the amalgamation of influences derived from all genres of music and ASC’s ability to combine these to create something new and unique. Collaborations with fellow Nonplus artist Vaccine and Exit Records artist Consequence add fuel to the fire, keeping it burning hot from start to finish.

CRITCD04 A Wandering Journal – Sabre Critical Music CD x 2
Told through narrative interludes and a musical score capturing windows in our tale; ‘A Wandering Journal’ is a voyage through experimental electronica; the debut long player from London-based producer, Sabre, and the first solo artist album on Critical Music. “Writing ‘A Wandering Journal’ has been liberating beyond expression. It’s a project I’ve had developed and hibernating for so long that looking back, I know that if it’d been left any longer it wouldn’t have been realised to its true potential. All the unwritten details of the concept and the loose narrative would have faded in my mind. Creating it when I did, whilst the concept was still strong in my mind, and my musical output was amongst the most free-spirited of my career was perfect timing. And it’s spurned me on to be even more ambitious with what I create in the future. I have to approach a new frontier now that this album is complete, and the current multimedia landscape is the perfect playground in which to elaborate on what I stand for creatively.”
“His album…outstanding. One of the most prolific producers, what this scene needs.” Goldie (Metalheadz)
Brooding, melancholic, futuristic. Sabre delivers his stellar debut LP whose persona touches unexplored depths and unfolds a truly cinematic experience. Essential.” Alix Perez (Shogun Audio)

Limited Edition picture Disc. Definitely designed to intimidate those weak of will, Scare Tactics will also dominate any dancefloor you care to drop it on. Bruising beats and a twistedly belligerent bassline combine to bully the crap out of your ears in C4C’s typically ruthlessly efficient style. ‘Born Dead’ Sounding like the score for some sort of dystopian future where machines rule man, Born Dead is a foreboding, offbeat, synthetic and sinister tune. Samples swirl around your head while the bassline rises from the metallic mire to grab at your feet. Future filth indeed. DJ Support: Andy C, Friction, Hype, Bailey, Goldie, Gridlok, Fierce, Concord Dawn, Dieselboy, Prolix, Ed Rush, Bad Company plus many more…

DARKESTRALEX002 Dreadtone / Timeloss – Consequence Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl
LIMITED EDITION 500 copies manufactured on black vinyl, in black reverse board, with overprinted pantone logo. Following the Keep an Eye On section accolade and 5/5 Album review ‘..downright essential’ in current edition of Mixmag, Consequence’s debut Darkestral release comes as the second in the Excursions series. ‘Dreadtone’ and ‘Timeloss’ are two essential forays into the zero gravity production style Consequence is rapidly building a name for. Heavy as molasses and just as thick atmospherically, both tracks have an almost dread-step feel to them, gaseous air pervading the cinemascopic textures and construction and warm deep bass as an undercarriage.

New D ‘n’ B Promos


LFTD009 Conquerors & Commoners – Spor Lifted Music 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy. Full colour artwork sleeve with Full colour poster inside.
Lifted Music presents the first EP of its 2010 release campaign, The `Conquerors and Commoners’ EP. In a scene where EPshave become somewhat lost under the ideologies of albums, Spor has produced what can only be labelled as yet another benchmark within electronic music. Four unique, distinct tracks fill an EP crafted by one of 2009′s biggest artists, compiling an exotic, yet beautifully chaotic, display that shows why Spor is of the highest grade. Engineering like the scene has never heard before, arrangements that have never been attempted before, Lifted Music proudly presents `Conquerors and Commoners’ EP
KINGDOM – Already being labelled as the tune of 2010, Kingdom is the definition of Spor at his tearout best. Aggressive, destructive and slightly punk, LFTD009′s A-side is the main highlight in every respectable DJ’s set at the moment. An accelerated build up that amps like no other, the sheer velocity of the drop leaves riots on dancefloors worldwide. Drum and Bass at unimaginable heights, Spor present’s `Kingdom’.
OVERDUE – Unlike the tracks namesake, `Overdue’ has been well worth the wait. Featuring a interesting sample for the spotters, Spor’s arrangements take to new heights with a track that features South African vocalist Tasha Baxter. Reminiscent of a rocky Moroccan landscape, intricate, graceful beats accompany a glistening guitar melody full of emotion. Baxter’s vocals add a sense of humbleness against Spor’s energetic drum patterns. `Overdue’ is the tune we all wish we wrote.
KOARI – Featuring arguably one of the biggest intro’s of all time, Kaori is Spor’s erratically well presented experiment. Based upon the influence of Japanese cinema, Spor takes his production to a new level with a vocal so euphoric and magical, it will have the whole dancefloor reaching to the skies. A tumbling, rolling drum track lays the foundations to a raw midrange – the trademark Spor sound. Finishing up with an organ arrangement, Kaori will be known as one of Spor’s finest moments.
HALOGEN – Reminiscent of `1up’ from Spor’s debut EP; The Supernova EP, `Halogen’ provides the more light hearted approach to the end of the double 12”. Furiously hyped like an overcooked pancake, Halogen resembles a biology experiment taught by the professor of all professors. Fast, high-octane, and with a melody that will leave you humming like a bumblebee for hours, Spor finishes his second EP with class.

a Spor – Kingdom
b Spor – Overdue
c Spor – Kaori
d Spor – Halogen

SFS001 Never / Never (FaltyDL Remix) – Eprom Surefire Sound 12″ Vinyl
San Francisco, CA’s Surefire Sound starts off the new decade with a bang and launches their brand new label with an energetic single by EPROM. A fast rising West Coast bass technician, DJ and producer Sander Dennis a.k.a. EPROM delivers funky, techy fourfour beats on “Never.”
EPROM’s original mix opens with rattling hi-hats and a hushed female vocal accented by EPROM’s patented twitchy synths. A hefty kick drops, braced by a thick, bouncy mid-range bass pattern. Like recent tracks by Untold or Ramadanman, “Never” blurs the divisions between dubstep, funky, techno and garage to form an irresistible new creation.
Hyped newcomer FaltyDL had a breakthrough year in 2009. The New Yorker introduced his versatile soulful electronic styles on a slew of singles for Planet Mu and Ramp. His Rephresh mix is a moody, shuffling reconstruction that features echoing samples, an infectious start-stop rhythm and mighty bass sweeps. DL’s mix is built for maximum club pressure.
About Surefire Sound:
Surefire Sound is a new record label presented by the Surefire music group whose goal is to showcase upcoming and established talent in electronic music. The label is part of a collection of projects under the Surefire banner including a booking agency, PR firm, and events management division. The releases promise an array of sounds spanning genres, appealing to home listeners and dance floors alike.

HES011 The Bells Sketch – James Blake Hessle Audio 12″ Vinyl
Hessle Audio’s eleventh release comes from James Blake, a 21-year-old from London, who has previously released for Hemlock Recordings, as well as having an EP in the pipeline for R&S. This three track EP exclusively features his own warped and manipulated vocals. James also joins Mount Kimbie for their live shows, singing as well as playing keyboard. “James Blake’s mongrelised, pitch-bent production style finds kinship with dubstep’s Joker and Untold, but his secret weapon is his voice: Blake sings with a sweet, honey-soaked coo that betrays his traditional background in music: one that knew the Family Stone long before it’d heard of FWD>>” – Tom Lea, Fact Magazine
Hessle Audio was formed in Leeds in early 2007 by David Kennedy, Ben Thomson and Kevin McAuley. The label has released tunes by TRG, Martyn, Pangaea, Ramadanman / Pearson Sound, Joe and Untold. In addition, Hessle Audio tunes have appeared on compilations by Tempa, Scape, Soul Jazz and Global Underground. Hessle Audio hold a residency at London club Fabric.

HJP48 Paint Straw And Bubbles – Actress Honest Jons Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. A provocative encapsulation of Actress’ creative vision, setting the scene for the South Londoner’s imminent album Splazsh, and accompanied by one of Zomby’s toughest mixes so far. Paint is vintage Actress. Sticky and claustrophobic, but multifaceted and openhearted, it’s a bold, at times disconcerting excursion into the inner life of house and techno. Melodically, you might think of classical minimalism by way of the Caribbean, and while its neurotically funky drum patterns nod to the experimental fringe of Chicago house, the low‐end atmospherics betray the music’s UK origins. Zomby’s arresting remix invokes UK funky with a forthright, carnivalesque house rhythm, re‐stringing the delicate melodies of the original into his own inimitable, spidery, escalating computerfunk. Maze presents a different side to Actress, its pulsation and phasing summoning 1980s cold wave and early techno, or maybe John Carpenter, or Kraftwerk’s Autobahn rerouted through South London.

RAMP027 Disappearing Reappearing Ink – Desto Ramp Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Meet Desto. We found him wandering the streets of Helsinki, eating canned tuna and drinking the water from a tin of hot dogs, desperately clutching armfuls of sticky future garage. Starting off in spacey 2step rhythms, falling over bassline, and breaking down into an euphoric 8 bit cascade, the epic “Disappearing Reappearing Ink” finally reaches wax after being in the boxes of pretty much everybody all year. On the flip, “Broken Memory” was given its first exclusive airing by Oneman on Radio 1 to much acclaim, and takes more of a straight up approach, and retains all of the fluid C64 chiptune beauty.
DJ SUPPORT FROM ROB DA BANK, ONEMAN, BRACKLES, SINDEN, FLOATING POINTS, CLOUDS, MARY ANNE HOBBS.

IME016 Dissociate LP – Kontext Immerse Records 12″ Vinyl x 3
Finish copy. Limited edition Vinyl pressing. St Petersburg resident Stanislav Sevostyanikhin aka Kontext has been broadcasting his unique sound via a series of releases on the Immerse label since 2008. Admirers of the first two releases spanned quite a wide range of artists, reflecting the diversity of the music, including James Holden, Alex Flitsch, Jamie Odell and Brendon Moeller among others. Blending key elements of dubstep and techno with classic glitch signifiers and IDM, his music is instantly recognizable and utterly distinctive. ‘Dissociate’ is Kontext’s debut LP and, unsurprisingly, makes for an Immersive listening experience – from the delicate shimmering of Rhodes-led intro track ‘Impossible Being’ to the analogue garage-tech of ‘Ocean In The Bathroom’, via the Y3K foundsound dub of ‘On The Bottom Of The Glass’ and industrial electronica of ‘Bilinguism’. This is an album that deserves and requires repeat listening, promising its audience greater rewards the deeper they dig.

*WHITE VINYL 12” – LIMITED TO 500 COPIES WORLDWIDE*
DJ SUPPORT: CASPA, EMALKAY, BUNZER0, MATT-U, VISTA, DUSK, BLACKDOWN, RSD.
Both Von D and DJ Madd made quite a stir in the Dubstep and surrounding scenes last year, both emerging out of nowhere bringing with them their unique twist on the sound, DJ Madd’s EP on Boka Records ‘Better With You’ EP exposed his music to a larger audience and he has since gone on to record a guest mix for SKREAM’s Stella Sessions show on Rinse FM and perform regular gigs around Europe. Von D has been heavily involved with Black Acre Records and Argon Records from the USA and has also been supported heavily by SKREAM as he was also drafted in for a Stella Sessions guest mix.

SCREW002 Mind Over Matter / Cataract – Statix Screwloose Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Introducing Statix. To put it simply, dubstep’s answer to Bad Company. Quite a title? With distinctive records such as ‘Mind Over Matter’ & ‘Purgatory’ shredding their way through the dubstep scene, it’s one that is definitely justified. Radio plays from the likes of Caspa, Rusko & Crissy Criss followed a ‘mini-mix’ request on the infamous Mary Anne Hobbs Radio 1 show. The spotlight was significantly placed on ‘Mind Over Matter’ which even featured on Mary Anne Hobbs’ U.S tour blog, beside the likes of Chase & Status, Joker & Plactician. ‘Mind Over Matter’ was then chosen to be released on one of the most exciting and contemporary record labels to emerge from 2009, ‘Screwloose Records’ where it would join highly desired up and coming releases from the likes of KOAN Sound & Asa. Perhaps the best thing about Statix is the fact that the talent doesn’t stop at the loading screen for Reason 4.0. Word of mouth alone established Statix high on the bills of several nights in their home town of Bristol. Why? A well coordinated approach to live performances coupled with superb DJ skills and jaw dropping MC talent. Even with the somewhat dark sound the group can unleash through a sound-system, the future is most definitely bright for Statix. And with a live band in the works, things are about to go from sick, to slick.

HENCH015 Scanners / Drumstick VIP – Jakes / Giant Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Maintaining the pressure already set by the previous HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 samplers, Jakes returns with a his familiar sub-destroying sound. Having already released a standout 12” on Hench in 2009, the Russian producers, Giant, provide us with a VIP of their biggest tune to date. These tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from Papa ‘ench himself. The release will also contain new exclusive tracks from Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform for debut releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah.
A. JAKES – SCANNERZ
With each new tune that Jakes produces, his progression and intent is evermore obvious. No fooling about with this one – a ringing loop draws you in and then hits you with a monster drop. Low-end rushing through the woofers with rhythmic swiftness, feet will be stomping the ground and writhing to this bass-led beat. The occasional bell chime and futuristic lasers shooting –here’s a tune capable of tearing down any rave, no matter what size.
AA. GIANT – DRUMSTICK VIP
Maintaining the squeaking synths and vocoder present in the original ‘Drumstick’, Giant have gone back in on this one and turned out an even funkier, wobbly b-line number than before. The atmospheric synth and ragga piano stab demonstrate a standard of production usually attributed to more experienced producers. Yet Giant have managed to create a tune that oozes serious studio skills and fresh innovative ideas at the same time. It’s not every day that a debutant’s release on a label gets offered to do a VIP, but Giant have come up trumps.

HENCH016 Dream On / Boom Boom Bass – Chasing Shadows / Jakes Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Rising stars dubstep stars, Chasing Shadows and label owner Jakes lend their tracks to round-off the stellar samplers HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 has given us. Having already released a host of big-impact tunes on the Hench imprint in 2009, including ‘Amirah’ and ‘Ill’, Chasing Shadows up their game with ‘Dream on’. Jakes features with the unmistakable ‘Boom Boom Bass’ – a track that combines all the elements that has earnt Jakes’ the reputation he now has within the scene. These tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from Papa ‘ench himself. The release will also contain new exclusive tracks from Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform for debut releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah.
A. CHASING SHADOWS – DREAM ON
With a guitar riff building the intro, stabs of the bass set the tone of this tune at an early point. Pausing briefly for a vocal that gets turned menacing by the streaming synths placed overhead. A seriously heavy bassline follows, the kind that fills up any room with its presence. This duo is going from strength to strength – ‘Dream On’ displays their ability to fuse different styles into their music and execute the production with a skilled hand. At this early stage in their career, its clear that Chasing Shadows have a great future ahead.
AA. JAKES – BOOM BOOM BASS
There are only a handful producers in dubstep that have a style which is difficult, near on impossible, to imitate. Lucky for Hench, Jakes is one of those producers. Commencing with a vocal skit, little does the listener know that they’re being teed-up to have this driving bassline thrust upon them. Vocal stabs and a drum pattern that switches throughout the tune give this release a progressive sound. Changing things up later on, piano chords bounce and maintain the feeling of not knowing whats going to come next.
Whatever your style, whatever your flavour – we dare you to try not moving to this when it gets dropped.

RWINA006 Humanoid EP – Eprom Rwina Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. We want to do quality, interesting, electronic music here at Rwina. We’re not trying to bring you some stuff aimed solely at fitting into ‘the scene’ – no, we like beats, bass, synths, stuff that can mess with your head as well as move your feet. So, bearing that in mind, we’re proud to present Eprom, fresh out of San Francisco. ‘Humanoid’ takes stepping beats in a Mala-gone-ATL vibe, and marries them to lazer-guided pitch-switching neon synth lines that contract and expand, breathing their way through the track and re-programming the dance floor into a blur of hypercolour. The classic vocal sample reminds us how far we’ve come from the days of Acid House, yet how much remains the same – people still want to hear amazing noises put together in a way that makes them dance. ‘The Slaughter’ takes the mid-tempo West-Coast sound and runs with it – glowing synth lines harmonise like the work of acid-loving robots over swaggering beats and moody, almost RZA-esque atmospherics, building intensity throughout the track.
Finally, ‘Lick Out’ sounds like the kind of music Drexciya might have made if their underwater civilisation was based around the Bay Area’s hyphy scene. The whole track is dripping wet, an exploration into a future world of aquatic crunk that defies categorisation. Rwina is proud, but not surprised, to note that this release is being supported by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Jakes, Starkey, The Gaslamp Killer and Slugabed.

RED002 Avoid The Noid / Duality – DJG Pushing Red 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. Known in many circles of dubstep and similar styles as one of the hottest up & comers, DJG has graced us with one of, what we think is his best release to date. Both sides showing his diversity & versatility as a producer and musician. A San Francisco native, DJG has been releasing music on many acclaimed labels, building his reputation and forging ahead with his unique take on dubstep.
A. Avoid The Noid: From the start, the listener is propelled into the pure energy of this track. A steady 4/4 kick drum keeps the momentum along with scattered snares. A deep, bouncy bassline pull everything together in style along with twinkling keys and a nice short vocal. Dubsteppers who like their music with a techno tinge will love this along some tech house listeners. A great piece of energetic music!
AA. Duality: One of our favorite tunes we’ve heard in a long time and are very proud to be releasing this. A minimal intro leads into a punchy snare that slaps you across the face while the drum fill in between keep things interesting. A huge sub bassline will keep any sound system on it’s toes. This tune is all about patience and the build up to a vocal that sits so well, it’s hard to imagine a tune around like it atm. A piece of music you just have to hear to believe!
DJ Support: RSD, 2562, Headhunter, Komonazmuk, J Sparrow, Synkro, F, Jus Wan, XI, Distal, Rob Booth.

SCB001 20_4 – SCB SCB 12″ Vinyl
Very limited finished copy. After a seminal remix of Scuba’s Hard Boiled on Hotflush in 2008, and the most popular mix of 2009 on mnml ssgs, this is the first proper release from Hotflush Recordings boss Paul Rose’s SCB project.
What the DJ’s are saying:
James Holden (Border Community) – “Classy, both sides of it”.
Laurent Garnier (F Communications) – “Super organic deeep techno. Love”
Chris Burkhalter (Resident Advisor) – “20_4 makes for a smooth segue into the 4/4 stylings Paul Rose has been embracing. Then “3_5″ dives head-first into melodic deep techno. But, for all that’s changed, the spare structures and arid sound design are
unmistakably Scuba. Love it!”
Thomas Schumacher (Get Physical) – “Beautiful, deep atmospheric music”

New D ‘n’ B Releases


CRIT042 Late Drop – Break Critical Music 12″ Vinyl
2009 has been a good year for Critical, having built yet further on its reputation as being one of the most forward-thinking underground drum and bass labels in the scene. Appearances from Spectrasoul, Sabre, Serum & Vapour paved the way for the heavily acclaimed Critical Sound compilation that saw label boss Kasra representing the ‘Future of D&B’ at Fabric’s 10th birthday and even guesting on BBC Radio 1. Now just in time for Christmas Critical serve up one last delicious 12” before the new year from the mighty Break. Smooth’s the word as ‘Late Drop’ gets under way with lazy-day pads and a light stepping break that runs through the DJ-friendly intro all the way to the breakdown. Wait for the typically gnarly Breakbass though and then it’s throttle down, away we go on this late night tech-roller that oozes class and sees Critical’s eyes set firmly on the dance floor once again. ‘Crunchy’ kicks off with some interesting orchestration and a simple stepping break that flowsunderneath jungle samples and a distant vocal. It’s all about the distorted b-line though as Break doeswhat he does best letting it worm its way into your psyche. No-nonsense D&B to move your feet. DJ support from Friction, Break, Cyantific, Spectrasoul, Marky, Nu Tone, Logistics and Kasra amongst others.

FFLP1-1 Optimus Prime – Chook Full Force Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Chook is that artist, and The Cocoon, Chook’s debut long-playing project, moves beautifully through drum & bass, minimal techno and stunning ambient soundscapes without pausing for breath. The Cocoon is the culmination of half a decade’s worth of hard work. Starting out in 2004, Chook launched Full Force Recordings as an output for the fierce and disturbing side of European techno influenced drum & bass. The label garnered support right from the off with DJs as diverse as Roni Size, J Majik and Calyx & Teebee all queuing up to work Full Force’s releases into their sets. Chook, alongside friends such as Germany’s Phace (Subtitles), New Zealand’s State of Mind (Shogun Audio) and USA’s Mayhem (Ram Records) put the label firmly on the map with tracks from some of the world’s finest breakbeat artists, keeping the music policy as credible, long-lasting D&B. Now, five years since he started Full Force, Chook delves deeper into his influences, spreading his wings as a producer without resorting to cheap tricks and sheep-like trend following. From the growling bass of Optimus Prime through to the inchperfect elements of Time Running Backwards and the building, spacious progression of Toontown, The Cocoon is a lesson in staying true to your beliefs and sticking the middle finger to those who dare question your motives. Some might consider that a lost art in drum & bass these days.

It will take you on a journey through many different moods and styles of Drum and Bass. From Light to Dark this album has everything! Once Again! Get bitten!!! The concept behind Vampire Records is the relation between the nocturnal behavior of Clubbers and Vampires. Vampire has constant evolution and is a platform for established artists and up and coming talent. The birth of the label was at the end of 2006. It has grown from strength to strength over the last couple of years. Vampire is still growing to this day but it has staying power in the world of Drum and Bass. It is up to its 10th single release and on April 1st 2009 it released its first label album “Once Bitten Twice High”. All releases on the label are still selling which proves that the music has shelf life and is non-disposable.

With its two year anniversary just around the corner, Influenza brought a pair of powerhouse tunes to the table in a newcomer named Well Being.With releases on Red Mist Recordings and Focuz this artist looks to be a very promising addition to the Influenza roster.

May the next year be blessed with blissful pads, sweeping basslines and vocals that are spine tingling! Both tracks are of epic proportions on this release, but are also very different. I Heart You is one deep stepper that features a soulful vocal with an equally deep bassline. Once the bass drops, don’t be surprised to see the dancefloor come alive! Storms by Stretlight is a lot more uptempo, but the bassline still rocks like none other. Expect these two to rattle your subs, and take you to other realms of dancefloor tranquility. Looking forward to see more Well Being in the future!

31 records venture into the deep atmospherics with this release from “Nether”. “Beating Me” is like a trip through the sounds of Jean Michel Jarre. Subtle synths glide, with birds tweeting and a totally chilled experience. Meanwhile “Deep Echo” is a hypnotic dubbed out affair, aimed towards those early hours after party moments.

SSND002 Ubik – Lethal & The Sect Surround Sound 12″ Vinyl
A: Lethal & The Sect – Ubik – Surround Sound is proud to bring you the long awaited collaboration between Lethal and the Sect. A slamming slice of Techno influenced Drum and Bass, creeping synths and bleeps ease through the atmosphere before opening up to pounding subs and twisted midrange. The beats are relentless and rolling, keeping the funk moving throughout this pure dancefloor destroyer.
AA: The Sect – Whiteout – Another storming track brought to you from the Sect. This one opens up with sci-fi pads setting the scene for a dizzying build. When the drop comes it hits hard and disorientates with looping, tearing basses and pulsing beeps. The breaks keep things moving as the b-movie vibes take hold, pulling the listener down spinning into the whiteout….

BRIG014 For Love Or Money – D Kay & Concept Brigand Music 12″ Vinyl
Here comes the next 12″ from Vienna’s finest. Mastermind DKAY teams up with the the now firmly established CONCEPT, who, after having proved his production skills on various releases, adds the funk to the BRIGAND flavour. Epic 70s horns and house vocals set the tone for this high roller, called FOR LOVE OR MONEY. Favoured by Fabio, High Contrast and the likes, it does not only get the party started, but is also a pleasurable listening experience. Old school analogue production technique has been applied to give this tune a warm and driving edge, that seems to be missing in most computer based productions these days. So turn up the speakers and enjoy the sonics and the music.
For the flipside, long time partner RAWFULL joins DKAY in the studio once again. IN YOUR NAME is a bit more minimalistic than other tunes by the duo also known as ILLSKILLZ. A deep but angry reese bassline and a hypnotic synth riff are the trademark sounds in this dreamy piece of music, that will excite both party goers and home listeners alike. Here is what others had to say about this release:
MARCUS INTALEX on IN YOUR NAME: “Been starting my sets off with this recently.. sets the mood perfecty…”
LOGISTICS on FOR LOVE OR MONEY: “DKAY proves once again that soulful tunes can still have impact on the dancefloor, loving this one!!”

DARKESTRALEX002 Dreadtone / Timeloss – Consequence Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl
LIMITED EDITION 500 copies manufactured on black vinyl, in black reverse board, with overprinted pantone logo. Following the Keep an Eye On section accolade and 5/5 Album review ‘..downright essential’ in current edition of Mixmag, Consequence’s debut Darkestral release comes as the second in the Excursions series. ‘Dreadtone’ and ‘Timeloss’ are two essential forays into the zero gravity production style Consequence is rapidly building a name for. Heavy as molasses and just as thick atmospherically, both tracks have an almost dread-step feel to them, gaseous air pervading the cinemascopic textures and construction and warm deep bass as an undercarriage.

DRUNK015 Don’t Sleep – Hyetal & Shortstuff Punch Drunk Records 12″ Vinyl
Punch Drunk launches into 2010 with colourful cuts to beat the freeze in the form of two hot collaborations from Hyetal & Shortstuff. The hyper synth frenzy of Don’t Sleep and the technicolour visions of Ice Cream have been heavily rotated by Jackmaster, Brackles, Untold, Gemmy, Ben UFO, 2562, Oneman, Starkey amongst others.A flurry of releases in 2009 put Hyetal at the centre of a Bristol second wave of producers. Having caught the ear of Mary Anne Hobbs and subsequently appearing on her Planet Mu compilation ‘Wild Angels’, Hyetal has also seen releases for Bristollian labels Reduction and Soul Motive, and also for Texas based Formant Recordings. Releases on Planet Mu, Ramp Recordings, Berkane Sol and Pollen throughout 2009 have seen Shortstuff assert himself as a key mover in the new wave of grime, garage, funky and hip hop influenced beats and basslines infiltrating the UK underground. Shared roots in the forward thinking Nottingham Futureproof and Wigflex scenes, Shortstuff has recently launched his own imprint, Blunted Robots, alongside Brackles.

DKX001 66/31 – binary sequence Dark Arx 12″ Vinyl
For its debut release, Dark Arx presents a 3-track single of gritty, emotive electronic music by Binary Sequence. Binary Sequence operates in the margins of UK dubstep channelling his influences through a painstaking process of deconstruction and distortion. The resulting tracks are gems of electronica, simultaneously beautiful and sonically fierce. Based in London, Binary Sequence has been playing, writing and producing music for 20 years. Before being swept up in the electronica of the late 90s, he spent years tackling the mind-bending harmonics and rhythms of 60s & 70s jazz as a saxophonist and pianist. While starting to write his own music, he began to explore the possibilities of electronic production and after much experimentation and refinement he has created a unique sound, combining dusty distortion with pristine production values. Sonic comparisons point to Pole, Dabrye and Burial – but Binary Sequence’s musicality is rooted in “Artificial Intelligence”-era electronica (Aphex Twin, Autechre, Black Dog).
DKX002 by Dark Arx will be released in March 2010.

MEDI025 Elephant Dub / Heavy As Stone – Mark Pritchard Deep Medi Musik 12″ Vinyl
What’s to say about the phenomenal production talent of Mark Pritchard that has not already been said? Mark has been lovingly producing cutting edge music for some two decades now under numerous music guises and aliases such as Global Communications, Reload, Troubleman, Jedi Knights and most recently under his Harmonic 313 moniker for Warp Records. Along the way Mark has captured the attention of the most discerning industry heavyweights, be it DJ Jazzy Jeff extolling the virtues of his Harmonic 33 project, Kenny Dope raving about his Troubleman output, or tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs and Benji B eagerly anticipating the next email from Mr Pritchard bearing the fruits of his labour in the studio.
Over the last four years Mark has become entranced with the bass weight of dubstep from such pioneering figures as Mala, Kode9, Benga and Skream to name but a few. Nowhere can this be more clearly heard than on his Harmonic 313 LP and his jiggy anthem ‘Wind It Up’ featuring Sa-Ra’s Om’Mas Keith released on Hyperdub in 2009.
Mark’s first release on Mala’s DEEP MEDi Musik imprint showcases both facets of his production talent. The appropriately titled ‘Elephant Dub’ rumbles and shakes with earth shattering density and is relentless in its sub bass charge, which poses problems on lesser sound systems which have been known to give up the ghost or simply shut down in the face of such an onslaught. On the flip ‘Heavy As Stone’ takes us in a completely different direction, maintaining a deeper, organic vibe with percussive, hypnotic drum patterns and a driving double time bass. A little something for everyone then.

This groundbreaking project is trail-blazing the collaboration between Dubstep and Hip-Hop, with stomach-pounding, bass-thumping guttural beats, and gully, gritty and grimy lyrics that break into the next decade in the chapters of each respective genre’s history. With Scuba, Parson, Trillbass, Dakimh, DZ, Rogue Star, Stenchman, Datsik & many more producing not remixes, but complex reinterpollations that include a veritable goldmine of Wu-Tang verses from the vaults that feature Raekwon, Ghostface Killa, RZA, GZA, Method Man, U-God & Masta Killa, Wu affiliates Killah Priest, Bronze Nazareth, Prodigal Sunn, Solomon Childs, Son One & more, and guest spots from Busta Rhymes, MF Doom, Pimp C, Three 6 Mafia, Ras Kass, Vast Aire, Canibus, Lord Jamar & many more, this one of a kind compilation is at the forefront of an emerging cultural and musical blend that is taking place on the margins of the mainstream, but will be talked about for years to come….

IME015 000 / Slippin – XI Immerse Records 12″ Vinyl
Toronto based XI makes his immerse debut having caught the eye with his recent release on OffRoad. 000 with its quirky, hypnotic vocal alongside the relentless sub dares people not to get lost within its enveloping warmth. On the flip, Slippin is another militant sub work out, but with a gradual build into a twinkling electro soundscape, with some rather rude bass stab action to reward the long play listener.

STORM016 Solid State – Emalkay Storming Productions 12″ Vinyl
Finish Copy Promo’s. Fresh off the back of the massive single ‘When I Look At You’ & ‘AGS’ on sister label Dub Police. Emalkay steps up to Storming Productions with two wicked tracks. They have been tearing up dancefloors worldwide over the last couple of months. Both remaining permanent fixtures in the sets of Caspa, Benga, Skream, The Others, N-Type, Hatcha and just about anybody who is anybody in dubstep right now. Solid State is a brutal anthem that has been melting a few faces as of late. The track has a dark and mystical intro with drums tougher than Mike Tyson’s knuckles. This is all before dropping into an unforgiving crunching bass that will bring any dancefloor to submission. On the flip is the heavyweight ‘Battlesuit’ this is a dark roller with a real swing. An atmospheric soundscape with rolling drums that don’t prepare you for the warping sub bass. This bassline will smack you in the face at the drop, as the track seemingly morphs and progresses into a dark techy monster. Another essential release from Emalkay and a welcome return of one of dubstep’s foundation labels.

HDB030 Natty / Ganja – DVA HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Rinse FM’s breakfast show host, DVA is a producer with a unique take on the UK Funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back precision into his tracks. ‘Natty’ is a prime example; drums stagger like they’re about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. On ‘Ganja’, a cartoonish ring-tonefriendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque drums and housey organ stabs. Factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums and sparingly used ragga chat and you’ve got a technicolour Hyperdub debut fresh for 2010.

LUCKYDEVIL007 Liberty City Blues – Data / Incident & Paul SG Lucky Devil 12″ Vinyl

After a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what LDR stands for – new, original music from hardworking, young artists. After the success of Data’s “Blowpipe” on LD5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like Metalheadz, Critical, Revolution and Tempa, Data brings us a grimy gem in the form of “Liberty City Blues”. Incident from Hungary and Paul SG from Austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent Knowledge Magazine cover CD mix. “Liberty City Blues” is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early Photek or Source Direct. From the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. A pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle. “Autumn Drops” is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. Full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year

DARKESTRALEX002 Dreadtone / Timeloss – Consequence Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl

LIMITED EDITION 500 copies manufactured on white with black streaks vinyl, in black reverse board, with overprinted pantone logo. Following the Keep an Eye On section accolade and 5/5 Album review ‘..downright essential’ in current edition of Mixmag, Consequence’s debut Darkestral release comes as the second in the Excursions series. ‘Dreadtone’ and ‘Timeloss’ are two essential forays into the zero gravity production style Consequence is rapidly building a name for. Heavy as molasses and just as thick atmospherically, both tracks have an almost dread-step feel to them, gaseous air pervading the cinemascopic textures and construction and warm deep bass as an undercarriage.

BLUSYNC002 Sampler 2 Sync: Saphir LP – Electrosoul System / Bionic1 Blu Saphir 12″ Vinyl

For the second sampler of the Sync:Saphir album collaboration, the sounds are switched up a bit, bringing in a very heavy remix of Electrosoul System’s Fun (from BLUS004) and newcomer BIONIC1′s Love Machine. These two tunes put a new spin on the usual Blu Saphir and Syncopix releases you’re used to, bringing deep, techy, rolling vibes to the table. You’re all used to Henree, spitting out releases over the last five years on the likes of Blindside, Deep Kut, Sound Trax, Lucky Devil, Phunkfiction, Soul:R and Vampire. BIONIC1 is a newcomer to Drum & Bass, but he’s got a rolled out sound that’s not to be missed!

A. ELECTROSOUL SYSTEM — FUN (HENREE REMIX) Before listening to this remix, you might want to revisit the original to notice the change in texture and sound. Henree definitely lays it down with this remix. Bass heavy and driving, you’ll feel bass quakes rolling through the floor as this one passes through the sound system. The opening resembles the original, but that’s all you’re going to get that hasn’t really changed. The moody chord progression that is stabilized throughout the track is enough to make a spine tingle, while the minimal vocal adds spice and atmosphere to an already amazing work. Very melodic and uplifting, an excellent choice in remix selection for this record!

B. BIONIC1 — LOVE MACHINE There is no one word to describe this track. One second you’re locked inside some type of futuristic space encounter, and then bombarded by techy stabs and vicious bass in the next. Following a sexy and seductive vocal, “Wanna go for a ride?,” all chaos breaks loose! Rolling tech funk is the name of the game here! Fans of labels like DNAudio, Black Reign LTD, Quarantine, Critical and Shadow Law will want to check into this one!

SUPPORT: MARCUS INTALEX, DJ MARKY, RANDOM MOVEMENT, S.P.Y AND MANY MORE.

A nice quick follow-up to a great first release on Wedge’s new label ISP,….this time by his good friend Gatekeeper. As the name suggests, ‘Blip’ on….the A centres around an incessant beep motif, slowly treated and effectedover time as the tune develops – sliding breaks, deep punchy bass, and then those gorgeous shimmering chords evolving throughout. On the B, Gatekeeper tackles Appleblim’s Skull Disco anthem ‘Vansan’ – expounding the original themes of texture created by delay and reverb and incorporating them into a 140bpm technical jungle piece. 9/10 [recommended] DJ Thinking IDJ Magazine.

Untold – Stop What You’re Doing (James Blake Remix) James Blake proves why he’s one of the most exciting and promising new prospects in UK bass music right now.

Here is a recent review from Resident Advisor‘s Max Bacharach:

Speaking to The End in mid-2008, Exit boss and Autonomic mastermind Darren White, AKA dBridge, had these words to say about his beloved genre: “…when I listen to tunes from the last two or three years and compare them to tunes from the era that I believe it was at its most interesting, they don’t even compare. This isn’t music that people outside of our scene can look to, and that’s a big beef of mine.” Jump ahead to early 2010 and—thanks to the increasingly wide-ranging output of Instra:mental, SpectraSoul, Data and co—things don’t look quite so bleak. In fact, we might forgive Mr White for having been a little overly pessimistic: it’s his label that gave birth to 2009′s best drum & bass full-length, an album which, in drawing together influences as diverse as Ed Rush, OMD and Autechre (and wilfully refusing to tick any obvious dance floor boxes at that), positively commands attention.

Judging by the maturity of the thirteen pieces on display, the culprit—Australia’s Cam McLaren—is no newcomer to the scene. Take the driving “From a Distance,” a darkly somatic voyage into post-apocalyptic diaspora (think Vangelis remixed by Photek, or vice versa) made in collaboration with fellow NonPlus operative ASC, or the dreamy “Lime Green,” which for over three minutes swirls and hovers in a state of blissed-out abandon before a slinky rim-tap snap lumbers into view. Clearly, no easy points are out to be scored. Things are equally unyielding at the slower, garage-leaning tempo of “Feeling Like We Do,” which sounds like Burial under general anaesthetic (a good thing, believe me), and the stuttering, morphine-addled “Short Lived,” perhaps the darkest piece on what, at times, is a doggedly bleak album.

Still, it’s not all doom and gloom. Opener “Long Lies,” although fragile, offers a tentative glimpse of hope, like the first light of morning breaking over an uncertain horizon, while “Fog,” arriving deep into proceedings, serves to alleviate the mounting tension with flickering keys and warm, glowing subs. Those in search of dance floor firepower, meanwhile, need look no further than the T2-drenched techstep growl of “Pseudo Echo” (a lethal, stripped-back roller), or the hyper-compressed bass dynamics of “Reflex Reaction,” which no doubt benefits from Instra:mental’s recent excursions into full-blown stepping territory. Sure, it’s not your average main room fodder, but, patently, this is not your average drum & bass LP. It’s far, far better than that.

In fact, there’s only one real blooper on the album: the schmaltzy “Life Is Timing,” which, sadly, delves a little too far into the champagne sipping terrain evoked by its title, and fails to integrate with what, taken in whole, is a remarkably coherent piece of work. What marks it out—and to a degree which, in the recent history of drum & bass, only dBridge’s The Gemini Principle equals—is its refusal to make concessions in the name of sales, airplay, MC compatibility and such like. There are no “big tunes,” no crushing breaks, no epic drops and, most pleasingly in a genre blighted by trite samples, no vocals. It’s simply one man’s vision of dark, futuristic bass music, and a powerful articulation—indeed, the most powerful one yet—of the Autonomic sound. Music that those outside the scene can, and really should, look to “.

EXITLP004 Live For Never LP (Vinyl Format) – Consequence Exit Records 12″ Vinyl x 4
Consequence was introduced to d-Bridge via mutual friends whilst touring New Zealand and after listening to some of his music, dbridge knew that he had found an artist with the potential to create an album suited to the labels ethos of writing music from the heart and not necessarily directed at the dancefloor. d-Bridge had just started his Autonomic podcast series alongside Instra:mental with the intention of showcasing and developing artists who were thinking outside of the conventional Drum & Bass box. Consequence has become a core member of this crew who have gone on to secure an Autonomic residency at the world famous Fabric night-club and turn many heads from outside the genre such as Laurent Garnier, Skream and Actress to name a few. The album contains collaborations with fellow Autonomic artists Instra:mental, ASC and d-Bridge and is a good representation of the versatility which Autonomic is becoming renowned for. Each track is a piece of music in its own right, but the whole album is best listened to as one long piece that flows harmonically from start to finish through different emotions and atmospheres.

b Consequence – 11 Circles

d Consequence Ft dBridge – Life Is Timing

NONPLUS003 Porcelain – ASC Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl
Instra:mental welcome a new addition to the Nonplus+ camp who goes by the name of ASC. This producer is by no means new to making music, but recently his productions have become an essential addition to dBridge & Instra:mental’s Autonomic podcast series and also frequents their club sets.
a) ASC ‘Porcelain’ is a perfect illustration as to why Instra:mental have been paying ASC’s music so much attention. It begins with a glitchy yet groove-laden beat coupled with dramatic piano and fx stabs, then fills out with a warm drawing sub bass and smooth atmospheres. As the track progresses and you think it’s reached its climax, ASC cleverly layers an almost oriental sounding percussion stab to accompany the bass line and picks up the track to another level. This track is a prime example of being able to express the utmost with the minimum.
aa) ASC ‘Focus Inwards’ is the deeper side of this 12” and as the title suggests, takes you on a journey into yourself. Fully charged with progressive chords and melodies alongside electric sounding drum fills and percussion, the arrangement, musical content and pure elegance of this track give us an insight into ASC’s compositional abilities and potential for the future.

A ASC – Porcelain
AA ASC – Focus Inwards

MEDI022 WA6 – Harry Craze Deep Medi Musik 12″ Vinyl
Harry Craze part of the Anti Social Entertainment alongside Silkie, Quest, Mizz Beats, Jay Five and others. Fresh from his ‘French Knickers’ 12″ collaboration with Silkie on the Break the Habit label, Harry delivers two of his own productions ‘Wa6″ and ‘Thirty Six Hours’ to devastating effect, showcasing his unique production skills and bringing fresh forward thinking sounds to the label. DJ MAG – Dubstep Single Of The Month – “Some tunes really hit you in the soul receptors, and ‘Wa6″ by West Londoner and antisocialite Harry Craze blows dust off the 45, and moistens the eyeballs. If J Dilla made dubstep, you’d get the same feeling; sweet strings bounce off mood-drenched synths and circulate the warmth. And whilst this won’t set the dancefloors alight, it will start a fire in the soul. The flip is great too, but you’d be forgiven for never listening to it“.

KOKESHI002 Afterlife – Lung Kokeshi 12″ Vinyl
Kokeshi is the new label from Alley Cat, DJ/producer and co-director of ESP Agency with 12 years+ of music industry experience. Lung : Afterlife / Time – 19-year-old discovery Lung, from Cardiff has only been producing for a short time but has managed to make some of the most moving sounds this year. Having already featured on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBCs Radio 1 Experimental show, he’s been slowly building a grassroots following through two local DJ residencies and online support (dubstepforum.com) and will undoubtedly reach a much bigger audience as his first release on Kokeshi takes flight. ‘Afterlife’ features layers of pads and effects with an eerie vocal and gut wrenching sub. Support on Radio 1, and various UK and international web and college radio stations. One for the floor, and one for the ipod. ‘Time’ offers a nod to old school d’n’b/jungle with its breaks and its piano riff, yet Lung still pulls off his signature emo-dub-tastic style with ease, making it sound new and fresh. Given the thumbs up by TRG and Vaccine.

INFRA003 Infra003EP – Spatial Infrasonics 10″ Vinyl
The Spatial 10-inch EP series reaches its third and most visceral installment yet with ’90729′ and ’90807′. Spatial’s inaugural release on Infrasonics in late 2008 was enthusiastically welcomed by listeners, DJsand critics, as was its follow-up earlier this year, a reaction attributable to the producer’s instinctive fit with one of the prevailing moods in dubstep – in reclaiming the fluidity of 2-step garage and reappropriating dub-techno processes, these productions capably stand alongside those of Martyn or 2562. More than the execution of these satisfying tropes, though, their strength lies in a spooky attunement to the faint vibrations of a whole spectrum of dancefloor epiphanies, presenting in some ways a crisper, less melancholy counterpart to Burial, or even James Kirby’s projects as The Caretaker, but from the right side of the comedown. This latest collection of tracks, possibly Spatial’s most evocative, takes indirect inspiration from experience of the kind of ’91-era Euro-rave documented in Warlock’s recent mix for FACT magazine. Removed as the comparison might seem given their wrought, contemporary sound, vestiges are detectable, such as the transmuted hoover basslines, hollow panic-synths and ectoplasmic vocal trails that at the peak of these tunes threaten to fill out Spatial’s characteristically airy, open-textured mix. Correspondingly, ’90729′ and ’90807′ all constitute conscious attempts to aim more squarely at the dancefloor, with success already coming in the form of DJ support from Untold, Incyde, T++, and Dubwar NYC resident Dave Q.

TW003 Trouble Is / Holiday – Turboweekend TW Records 12″ Vinyl

”I am tipping them for very, very big things here in UK. The Lead singers voice is amazing.(…)This is huge.” -Mista Jam (live on BBC1 and 1 Extra)
”Natty Danes Turboweekend’s angsty single ’Trouble Is’ is like One Republic’s “Apologize” as seen through the bass lens of Blank Dogs (…) It’s an excursion into the dark crevices of your feelings, but don’t EVEN try and tell us you’re not at least a little emo.” – The
Fader.com (Julianne Shepherd)
”Wow. Most remixes don’t do justice to the original song, but this is from another world. This bass heavy remix is the reason I love British music.” – Man Movement.com (LSR)

EXITCD004 Live For Never LP (CD Format) – Consequence Exit Records CD
Consequence was introduced to d-Bridge via mutual friends whilst touring New Zealand and after listening to some of his music, dbridge knew that he had found an artist with the potential to create an album suited to the labels ethos of writing music from the heart and not necessarily directed at the dancefloor. d-Bridge had just started his Autonomic podcast series alongside Instra:mental with the intention of showcasing and developing artists who were thinking outside of the conventional Drum & Bass box. Consequence has become a core member of this crew who have gone on to secure an Autonomic residency at the world famous Fabric night-club and turn many heads from outside the genre such as Laurent Garnier, Skream and Actress to name a few. The album contains collaborations with fellow Autonomic artists Instra:mental, ASC and d-Bridge and is a good representation of the versatility which Autonomic is becoming renowned for. Each track is a piece of music in its own right, but the whole album is best listened to as one long piece that flows harmonically from start to finish through different emotions and atmospheres.

OK017 Antique Antic / King Stays King – Martsman / Raiden & Khanage Offkey 12″ Vinyl
Raiden’s label always comes with something different from the usual D&B formula rubbish. Martsman’s track is very impressive, with his refreshing future sound. On the other side it’s business as usual from Raiden with help from Khanage, its funky, and not as full on as normal, but again right at the cutting edge. Martsman got into Drum&Bass around the end of the 90s. Debuting on New York based Offshore Recordings in 2005, he released on smaller as well as established labels like Alphacut Records or Counter Intelligence in the following years. In 2008, tracks on Warm Communications and Hospital Records’ sub label Med School attract the attention of a steadily growing audience also from outside the Drum&Bass scene.

NONVOGUE004 Big Skeleton LP (Vinyl Version) – The Upbeats Non Vogue 12″ Vinyl x 2
If you’re The Upbeats, you never know when inspiration is going to hit, or leave you curled up on the floor with laughter-induced abdominal muscles pains. In this particular scenario, their inspiration was a whispered Brazilian ghetto story related to them by a friend. The story of the Caveraos (English translation: Big Skeleton), a super-tank full of Navy Seal trained Brazilian gang members known to terrorise the favelas of Rio De Janeiro, or on good days, distribute Nike sneakers and free cable. Sounds fucked up right? Anyway, as you’ve probably gathered by now, The Upbeats were suitable taken with this story, and having already floated the idea of a haunted-house album, decided to title their third album Big Skeleton, out of homage to the Caveraos; and horror in general.

What the DJ’s are saying!

Marcus Intalex: “Two of the most innovative and versatile producers on todays scene. Whenever I get something new from these guys I instantly stop what I’m doing, knowing full well I am just about to hear something totally fresh.”

Dieselboy: “Once again redefining the future sound of neuro funk nastiness. Buy on sight!”

Ed Rush: “Everything these guys do demands immediate attention. Drop whatever you’re doing and go grab Big Skeleton… sick, sick, sick! They specialize in dance floor artillery of serious weight as we all know from their releases in the past. This album is no different and is a brilliant testimony to their talents. Also includes one of the best dubstep tunes I ever heard… Ship It!”

Be it the haunted click’n’bass soul of ‘Bones’ (featuring Ned Worboys of Harbour City Electric), the sub-grinding, stream-ofconsciousness narrative driven breakbeat insanity of ‘Carousel’ (featuring MC Kemo from Germany), their speaker-rupturing foray into dubstep on ‘Macabre’ (co-produced by the mysterious Crushington) or the drum’n’folk atmospherics of ‘Through The Night’ (featuring award-winning country singer Jess Chambers); Big Skeleton lives in equal balance between the headphone headspace and the mindset of the club, which is a rare and terrifyingly beautiful combination in drum’n’bass. And that’s not even touching on the collaborations with State of Mind or Japanese rapper Cardz. With Big Skeleton, The Upbeats wake the dead, and the whispered terror walks once again.
DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU.

a The Upbeats – Big Skeleton
b The Upbeats – Laser Crypt
c The Upbeats – Carousel (Feat. Kemo)
d The Upbeats – The Unearthly

lslp001
LSLP001 SPL LP – SPL Lost Soul Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 4
SPL spent the last 3 years spreading his reach into diverse genres of electronic music. He has opened new branches of the already successful Lost Soul label. He has built on his international success, raining bass down on the heads of unsuspecting clubbers and partygoers all over the world. Now SPL returns to the Drum and Bass fold and does not disappoint. SPL, aka Sam Pool, has created the perfect blend of illusion, reality, precision and chaos within his first solo LP. The self-titled ‘SPL’ LP either sweeps the listener into worlds built of light and mystery, or drags them into the depths of a bass-filled hell. Lost Soul’s first LP release, ‘SPL,’ is a daringly original take on hard and dark music. With 8 tracks creating a symphony of chemically fueled emotion, ebbing and flowing between aggression and release, it’s no wonder why there is already a buzz within the international community of producers and fans alike.
‘I want to return depth and focus to dark drum and bass and give people who are turned off by the formulaic horror of today’s dark music something that they can identify with’ —SPL—
‘Epic and brutal machine funk’ —Dieselboy—
‘The most refreshing thing I have heard this year… SPLendidly produced’ —Limewax—
‘SPL has outdone himself, presenting an album that has depth as well as danceability’ —The Panacea—
There is a feeling of digitally mechanized destruction to the art within tracks like ‘Run From the Feeling’ and ‘It Will Be Different,’ pushing the audience over the edge of what was thought possible with Drum and Bass. Or the driving and sometimes brash ‘Angels’ or ‘Distance’ which fools the listener into thinking something beautiful lies beneath, just before an unexpected change in architecture sends them screaming for more low frequency mayhem. And that’s just to name a few. ‘Sins of the Streets’ has been in my box from the day I got it. I thought it was going to be the best tune on the Album. Then I got hit with ‘Juggernaut’ and ‘Distance,’ both completely disgusting! Definitely going to get some mileage out of this fantastic album for a long time to come, some excellent cuts on here.’ —Ed Rush—
‘Futuristic, funky, filthy are just three words I could use to describe SPL’s debut album. Dance floor smasher after dance floor smasher.. Essential.’ —Audio Freak Cult—
The LP itself has a total of 8 tracks bursting with ear candy and ready to lay waste to any system or individual daring enough drop the needle or load the disk.

a SPL – Juggernaut
b SPL – Angels
c SPL – Distance
d SPL – Guardian
e SPL – Sins of the Streets
f SPL – It Will Be Different
g SPL – Raise
h SPL – Run from the Feeling

CITRUSLP004 Venom LP – Jade Citrus Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 4
Hungary is the fresh birthplace of so many top producers within the DnB scene.. Mindscape, Matt-U, Chris SU, SKC. But this one producer has managed to produce so many killer tracks Citrus could not just leave it alone… This Producer is Jade. And his Venom LP is the result of his hard work. A deadly collection of productions that, once injected into the eardrum will grasp the host track by track until there isn’t anything left! The LP starts off with the track suitably named “No Cure”… A Lethal tune that will keep you grasping for air every time. This Tech’d out battering-ram is made for even the biggest powerhouses to get blown to pieces in just a single hit. “Hit em in between the eyes” click click BOOM! Then flip it over for the title track “Venom” where Jade teams up with the legendary Rymetyme! This time things get different as the rugged sounds will take down venues limb by limb like you haven’t heard before. Heavy over the top Neuro sounds rampage through the speakers to break loose the mayhem! Disc 2 contains the Icicle rework of “This Is My World” (the original features on the sampler) stripping down the original to an ice cold minimalist sound. Oldskool tech-steppin vibes are definitely the case here but with an upgraded 2009 feel! For side 4 Jade teams up with long-time producer friend Matt-U. They did their first release together so this was a logical step. And if logical could sound so phat as this. then logical is the way to go. Moblaw is a straight up elbow greaser that’ll make you get messy on the dance floor. The funk just oozes off this tight production that’ll make you scream for more! Then on to disc 3… where Jade remixes three of his best friends. namely the Dutch trio that’s Black Sun Empire. This remix tributes the trio as they where the first ones to recognise the skill of Jade’s production. But now its time to repay the favour as his remix gives stasis that extra piece of fire it needed as it turns into a piece of dance floor filth like no other. Have the tables turned? Then for the flip Jade teams up with another group of comrades, namely the Mindscape boys! These guys aren’t by all means strangers to the Citrus label so their track “Banshee” fits on here like Rum & Coke. Just listen and let yourself get transported to the early 2000 era of DnB. But with a heavy 2009 taste. Then for the final disc. Jade goes all solo style with Forged Reality. this shows how versatile Jade can be when he’s alone in the studio. half step, rolling this one goes from the one to the next without any trouble. Then for the last one.. Jade doesn’t sees the last tune to be a tune to be neglected. So on this one he goes all out with Mindscape & Axiom! Heavy synthy basslines rip open the track just be pummelled by the beat towering beats that make this tune a pounder beyond proportions!

c Jade – No Cure
d Jade feat. RymeTyme – Venom
e Jade – This Is My World (Icicle remix)
f Jade & Matt-U – Moblaw
g Black Sun Empire – Stasis (Jade remix)
h Jade & Mindscape – Banshee
i Jade – Forged Reality

Hold tight people cause Fokuz Limited returns with yet another release that does the Limited side label of Fokuz proud! Dose returns to Fokuz Limited for a solo 12 inch that is the embodiment of the Fokuz limited sound! gentle yet ruff. soft with a hard edge yet still keeping that feel that is Fokuz. The A side is The Place Between which shows a different side of Dose. A more educated sound that’ll drop well in those early sets. Broken beats which get followed by an heavy bass line like in the good old days! Flip it over for another Dose production featuring newcomer Blackplanet! Man The Weather starts off all atmospheric and keeps the rolling vibe alive like only dose can do. But it switches over to the neuro side of things just so it can turn back to the atmospheric sounds. A perfect tune for people who play both sides of the DnB spectrum.

DRUNKCD002 Jarvik Mindstate – Peverelist Punch Drunk Records CD
Bristol based Dubstep label Punch Drunk Records are on a heater at the moment, having recently released the RSD LP compilation (”Good Energy. A Singles Compilation”) they are shortly due to release a debut album from label boss Peverelist entitled “Jarvik Mindstate”. This collection follows up a succession of 12” releases over the past two years for Skull Disco, Tectonic and Punch Drunk and remixes for Shackleton, Pole and Shed. These tracks have seen rotation from dj’s as diverse as Hot Chip & Modeselektor, DJ Pete & Laurent Garnier, Kode 9, Appleblim & Pinch. Pitchfork 2009 : ‘In the last few years, nobody has done dark, moody, emotive dubstep better than Bristol’s Peverelist. His sense of space and percussion and his ear for melody has proven peerless– and he’s kept a headstrong sense of direction when so much is changing’.
http://pitchfork.com/features/grime-dubstep/7717-grime-dubstep/

Resident Advisor 2009 : ‘Ten singles on, Punch Drunk has steadily forged a reputation for putting out some of the most forwardthinking
bass-oriented music around today’.

KGO002 The Love Quadrant – Space Dimension Controller Kinnego Records 12″ Vinyl
Electronic / Dubstep label Kinnego Records started by Boxcutter out of Northern Ireland is back! After the success of the first release (by Boxcutter himself) he introduces the masses to a producer named ‘Space Dimension Controller’….the techno funk alias of 19- year-old Jack Hamill. Following on perfectly from Boxcutter and Kinnego Flux’s “A Familiar Sound” on KGO001, it features 2 tracks of deep, loved-up electro. Equally inspired by both the tape warped soundtrack to Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace and early Aphex Twin, Jack’s all-analogue production gives his tracks a timeless sound that’s a mile away from contemporary electro and house. The beats are low slung and funky, and the melodies are addictive and show a natural flair. On “The Love Quadrant”, a girl / boy vocal exchange sets the scene while the track builds momentum, before the whole thing spaces off on a sweet minimoog solo. On the flip, “Electropod-250 Collision” has a deep 808 pulse and flanged bass, topped off with Detroit-inspired melodies and blurred out reverbs.

RAMP026 Bare Feet – Maxmillion Dunbar Ramp Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Maryland resident MAXMILLION DUNBAR caught our attention on a desperately limited 7” last year on his own Future Times imprint. Swerving the current contrived reference points, B-Boy Max forges his own path mixing a kaleidoscope of boogie, electro, hip hop & analog soul. Max’s first EP for RAMP starts with Bare Feet clipping sparse soul loops with epic flourishes, Loveloop/Socket Bonus marrying cascading synths and 808’s, Wouldn’t Matter chops up a relentless boogie loops and epic disco strings, and WAVS draws the EP to a close with 80;s beat boxes and ramshackle synth lines.

New Skweee Releases

HRMN10 Harmönia Presents: International Skweee Vol. 2. – Various Harmonia 12″ Vinyl
LP (limited edition of definitely-not-enuff-copies), The eagerly awaited sequel of Harmönia’s International Skw*** -compilation has finally landed! Once again Harmönia’s artists are setting new standards for electronic dance music. Unlike the blood suckin’ vampires of brain dead club music of today, these cats have been mastering their art in silence and are just about to teleport mankind back to the zone of full funkativity! The Funkentelechy has been found once again! 12 artists – 10 tracks of the finest analogue soul. International Skweee Vol. 2 opens with the smokey P-Funk stylings of our favourite Frenchman: Wankers United! You can definitely hear the atomic dog barking. Skweeemasters Beem and Joxaren have united their forces for the first time in history and produced a next generation banger of harsh acid funk. AC/DC goes Skweee? Swedish-Iranian Uday is back and this time with a message. The shah of Middle Eastern electro has teamed up with an unknown Iranian woman to bring us this revolutionary piece of Arabian funk with a message of strength and democracy: “Boland Shin” (Rise Up)! A-side is wrapped up with the flute-driven disturbed grime of Coco Bryce’s “Ghetto Freaks” and Finnish noise-generator Claws Cousteau’s “North State of Mind” which is a party rockin’ example of his aggressive Stylophone crunk. B-side opens with the amazing Arab-influenced RnB of Easy and The Center of Universe. “Hamada” sounds like Erkin Koray teaming up with Lil Jon and 40 virgins in an Ottoman hashish orgy. Finnish-Swedish Markis Sage makes a fantastic return with the 80’s tinged mellowness of “Creature of Lagoon”. Rarely a track of this beauty can be such a funkster at the same time. Icelandic prodigy Rabbi Bananas lashes out a broken beat holocaust with a riotous SH-101 screeching. “Cat Eat” is a true bastard of a track from the tiny country mostly known for its shoe-gazing soundscapes. We don’t know what the Canadian caveman Slow Hand Motëm was thinking when he sculpted the slow-burning crunk of “Smells Like Randy Barracuda”, and we don’t really give a shit. It’s Great. Shine on You crazy bromosexual! The victorious compilation is finished with one of the Harmönia staff’s favourites: Despite the misspelling, Daniel Savio’s heart achingly beautiful “People Die, Love Don’t” shines through the darkness like thousand crystal suns. We at Harmönia are Very proud to bring You this episode of the International Skweee series. An album of great quality that surpasses its predecessor in various ways. Free your mind and your ass will follow – The kingdom of heaven is within! -P. Jerkman/A&R, Harmönia Records.

label update: Darkestral Excursions

label update: Darkestral Excursions

Posted 12 November 2009 | By Editor | Categories: news, tracks, video | 1 Comment

Darkestral Excursions has been brought into existence to display a series of aural ventures into the farther reaches of the beat spectrum, an edge of universe collection of anti-gravity constructs for the adventurous inner-space traveller…

Selected as first pilot on this mission, the cinematic compositions of Sabre, already known for a sense of spatial definition but here freed of dancefloor constraint and able to run free with the more esoteric perspective often contained in his productions

sabre

Sabre has built a name for a certain depth in his productions, and here forces the creation of a new project for Darkestral (Excursions) which came into being on hearing this cinematic trio of pieces. Falling into musically evocative areas such as soundtrack composition, the more minimal region of dubstep and future drum & bass, Sabre here gives vent to his more thoughtful, isolationist side, where constraints have been thrown out in favour of musical freedom and the use of naturalistic instrumentation, beautiful cellos and strings perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being on a lone drift in outer space, with a certain chilled air wrapping all three pieces.

One Man Jettison

a1) ‘One Man Jettison’:

‘One Man Jettison’ in title and sound design called for the creation of the latest Darkestral project, a particular home at the front of the mothership, a capsule prepared to journey to the outer reaches, solitary and mournful, encapsulated by the strings and feeling that an intrepid journey into the unknown was upon us all, that moves into a feeling of readiness to see the mission through

‘Boundary pt.1 (afterthought)’  follows as an epilogue and a prologue to a fantastical new horizon, textured and psychedelic, beat-less and airy…

aa) ‘Decorum’:

‘Decorum’ – strings and a glowing halo at the end of worlds introduces a muted brass and lush, though exploratory off-step beat as the touchdown on a planets surface is described in a sense of wonderment.
