The album to end all albums is on target for release on 05.12.2011. It is not fully understood how any other albums will be able to compete after the ‘Commercial Suicide Compilation’ has been released but the world has been warned.

Commercial Suicide is the vanguard of Drum and Bass and has been since it’s inception 10 years ago. Proving a fertile breeding ground for new approaches to dancefloor Drum and Bass and beyond, it is only now after 10 years that a full compilation has taken shape.

Break, Calibre, Klute, Dub Phizix, Vicious Circle; the list of con- tributors reads like a who’s who of contemporary drum and bass production. The Commercial Suicide ‘Compilation’ features 13 of the best d&b tunes of all styles, from established names to the very hottest new faces on the scene.

The music business has changed immensely over the 10 years since Commercial Suicide was born, but one thing has remained constant; a great compilation can define a genre and it’s era. Klute has once again proved his peerless A&R skills with an album that reflects and defines the Commercial Suicide sound in the year 2011, while pointing the entire Drum and Bass genre forward with it’s foot firmly on the gas pedal.

Dom of Dom & Roland needs no introduction. With his Roland sampler, he has been at the apex of drum and bass since the mid 90ʻs. One of the original pioneers of the techstep sound. NME once called him the George Lucas of the scene, due to his unfaltering ability to provide the listener with an auralʼgasm of epic soundscapes inspired by the visuals of a thousand sci-fi movies.

The Big Bang will be his fifth album and builds upon a sturdy framework of singles, albums and remixes going right back to when he was signed to Moving Shadow with itʼs now legendary cult status. His previous album credits read like a whoʼs who of electronic music and have featured collaborations with creative masterminds like Optical, Matrix, Hive, Rob Playford, Noisia and Amon Tobin.

Dom & Roland

This album being completely solo is a departure from his previous four. In Domʼs own words “Apart from being something Iʼve never done before, I wanted to get back to what I originally loved about DnB back in the late 90ʼs and turn it into something more modern whilst retaining full control of the creation myself. I was also interested to see if there was still a place for the kind of dirty funk that Iʼm into in todays ultra clean digital world” So what do you get? “Epic Lucusʼesque monsters” Flux and Enforced , “Tearouts” 2097 and Paralax, “Steppers” Cigars n Money and Terminate , “Neurofunkin” Nostradamus, Capsicum and Footnotes, “Rollers” Dune and Raptor and not forgetting a Dom trademark “Vocal Amen Smasher” Electric Smile VIP. It covers all bases of the music that has made Dom what he is today and if todays current big name DJʼs are to be believed, it will be remembered as one of his best. You only have to search for the youtube video of DJ Marky “broking out” to Enforced which he played as his last tune at Global Gathering this year to see the impact this album will have this year and for the years to come.

Nil by Ear is Sate of Mind’s third studio album, the first two being Take Control (Uprising) & Faster than Light (SOM). This album represents the peak so far of the lads technical skills, its carefully produced from start to finish. Tracks are frequently tied together, and a lot of thought has gone into the flow of the album. This is one that can be listened too from beginning to end, as opposed to a collection of singles. However that doesn’t mean that State of Mind have forgotten about the 3am raver. Almost all of the tracks have all been smashing it up world wide over the last 6 months in their own right.

Collaboration wise, the album features several of NZ’s most talented vocalists including Shapeshifter’s P.Digsss, Thomas Oliver, Sacha Vee, Mc Woody & PNC, as well as American singer 3pm. The only production collaborators are Nymfo and DNME. Several other collaborations were planned for the LP, but in the end were unable to fit.  These will be released as bonus tracks.

There are two Physical formats to pre sale for now. Release date for both formats is April 25th:
01: SOM012 / Vinyl 2×12” in a full colour sleeve with the full 12 track un-mixed CD packed inside.
02: SOMCD002 / CD featuring 12 tracks unmixed.

Cyantific has been laying down his signature space-age sound since 2002 when Hospital Records embraced him into their family after a tipoff from High Contrast. Ever since then we have seen Jon go from strength to strength, with his achievements like BBC 1Xtra Breakthrough DJ award to his international tours and infamous 3-deck DJ sets.

Cyantific launched his own label last year with the beautiful hit ‘Brighter Day’ (ft Logistics) and ‘88mph’. The New Year sees the label’s second release, which is nothing short of futuristic perfection. ‘OBEY’s’ sublime production and lively Back To The Future vibes make this tune an overwhelmingly enjoyable dancefloor record. ‘OBEY’ is an unconventional roller but needless to say sheer genius with an immaculately produced video to accompany it.

Continuing on with his innovative sound is ‘Bounce It’ on the flip side with high-energy danceability, accompanied by its entertaining electronic vocals.

Cyantific first release of 2011 is setting the standards for an extremely big year, watch out for more releases coming soon as well as DJ sets around the globe.

“Ok so this is my 7th album, it doesn’t feel like it but I don’t know what should…..the last dnb album I wrote from the ground up was overflow, so in between I released Shelflife 2 a compilation of unreleased tracks, and Shine A Light my weird departure from everything,  with Even If…. I was back on familiar ground, I employed my voice a few times, got emotional, forgot everything and turned the tempo up. I’m always looking for the songwriter slant in dnb, to feel the blues in my music is important to me, it is a raw connection I never get tired of looking for. And to sing it means a lot to me. I’ve tried to cover my own long standing interests in a musical genre that was supposed to have died a long time ago. And so here it is, a collection of tunes I’ve put together for the purpose of moving some part of you that’s the same part of me”.

Voodoo music is the new label from Offkey. In the last year Raiden has increasingly begun to explore his love for tribal & percussive based drum n bass and after a recent trip to Latin America the concept for Voodoo Music was born.

In preparation for Voodoo music this year Raiden & Khanage have been busy been creating music that has gathered ‘every set’ support and rewinds from Alix Perez, Loxy, Doc Scott, dBridge, C4C, Rockwell, Icicle, Ink & Bailey amongst others. The tracks have become anthems for the new emerging sound and its followers. Thinking with a mind toward the future we have been keeping our eyes and ears on a few emerging artists that we can develop on a long term basis- Morphy and Khanage to name a few.

Voodoo Music will also feature contributions and collaborations with Rockwell, Loxy, June Miller amongst others, each release will come with its own identity and we will be working closely with the artists to make sure their work is represented in the truest sense.
We are able to work with like minded artists within drum n bass as our work has been received very well by peers and in turn these artists are writing music specifically to fit the sound and concept of Voodoo Music.

The debut release for the label is the long in demand tracks from Raiden entitled ‘Baptism Of Fire’ b/w ‘Danzon’. Baptism Of Fire is a brooding track that thrives on holding a sense of cold tension whilst ‘Danzon’ is a latin inspired skank out that doesn’t go down the trad-latin formula but instead concentrates highly on the complex rhythms of Cuba.

The second 12″ will be another instalment from Raiden & Khanage’s ongoing collaboration with ‘Amnesia Haze’ & ’8798′, two tracks that ignited the initial spark for the Voodoo Music project during a very late in the studio between the pair.

Expect the debut 12″ / Digital formats to available in March/April 2010.
