New D&B CD

EXITCD006    Ritual Dance LP – Genotype    Exit Records CD
After a lengthy break from the electronic music world, Genotype is back with an LP for Exit Records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. Having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias Just Jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as Trouble On Vinyl, Renegade Hardware and Reinforced Records, its no surprise that he’s managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of Jungle. Many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but Genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. The dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for West Indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. Genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

New D&B Releases

TRIPS003 Kontroller / ABTN – Silent Witness & Break Triple Seed 12″ Vinyl
Welcome to the third release on Triple Seed. This time, featuring the classic partnership of Silent Witness & Break.
A. Kontroller – This number takes no prisoners with its anthemic reece and breakbeat driven madness. Designed to please crowds, this one will empower the dj and dress down his or her victims. Snippets of eighties pop vocals and guitar punctuate the lazer fight bass stabs providing all the tone and colour necessary to illuminate any flagging dance floor. Prepare to get caught in a mosh when this goes off.
AA. ABTN – Heads down! ABTN is two step tour de force of bass beats and atmosphere. The initial calm gives way to a ridiculously heavy bass growl and crisp beats that will entrance any self respecting party goer. Stripped down and serious, the contemporary minimal feel is backed up by typically beefy production that (really) will stand the test of time. DJ support from Andy C, Ed Rush, Goldie, Friction, Bad Company, Bailey, Fierce, Survival, Noisia, and more…

CRIT048    Redlines (Break Remix) / Scaremonger – Total Science Feat. Riya / Total Science    Critical Music 12″ Vinyl
Limited finish copy promos. One of the most highly revered and rotated vocal D&B tracks from the past six months is back, this time with an ice-cold twist ready to take us into the frosty autumnal months. Drawing in the talents of Critical playmate Break to add his deft touch was always going to result in one thing – absolute dance floor devastation! Oozing class while smacking up the dance is something many producers can only dream of….the masterclass starts here. Drifting pads with sexed-up guitar touches intro the ‘Redlines’ remix before the drums kick and we’re away on a blues-infused excursion with full vocal riding on top as the chords roll out. Don’t be fooled though as the fun’s just about to start! A quick repeated refrain and suddenly in crash the amens, edits and the most gut-wrenching sub to demolish the place. Vocal teases run throughout together with swathes of guitar but it’s the sheer tearout that wins in the end. Absolutely fantastic.
Flipping things over and Total Science come back with the classic sounds of ‘Scaremonger’. Seemingly an ode to the vibes of yesteryear, this one bounces with the best of them. A hot twostepping break carries the stabbing b-line that morphs subtly as this wicked bubbler moves along with ease. Proper Total Science doing what they do best. DJ support from Andy C, Bailey, Hype, Friction, Cyantific, Logistics and many more.

The A side ” Rebel music” punches through with razor sharp breaks that bring the track to some seriously sub low basslines. Haunting vocals lead through the track introducing some seriously deep FX and strings that make this track one stone cold killer. The flip “Cybergroove” makes for a more upbeat affair but certainly shows Soul intents versatility as an artist. Percussion lead breaks and some haunting strings cut into a bassline that punches its way throughout the track before cutting into a FX lead breakdown. DJ support from : Randall, AI, Klute, Doc scott, Survival, Fabio, Crissy criss and eveson Radio – BBC 1Xtra and Kool FM

MEDI029 Feel It EP – V.I.V.E.K Deep Medi Musik 12″ Vinyl x 2

Please note there is no CD with this pressing. The latest release on Mala’s Deep Medi imprint is a four track double pack Vinyl. It comes on the back of his first Medi release last year ‘Kulture’ b/w ‘Meditation Rock’ and countless dubplates that you’ll no doubt have heard if you’ve checked the Anti Social Entertainment on Rinse FM. Fusing digidub, sound system deep bass, rolling percussion, a hint of Berlin techno it all adds up to those ‘Medi’ style vibes; eyes down, blissed out, heavy weight music. The title track, ‘Feel It’ kicks things off in fine style with some of the most infectious rolling tablas – his percussion is just sublime. A vocal sample declaring the weight of your bass and the largeness of your soundsystem is all the track needs to usher in a chest thumping sub sonic bass tone and there is no way back you’re sucked into that soup of sub bass frequencies. ‘Grandfather Clock’ counts down to a dance floor meltdown when the metronome-like sample, half tempo drum patterns and hefty bass melts into blazing techno buzzes that just keep coming, it’s those killer synths that make it, truly coming from nowhere. The deeply blissful ‘Motherland’ is one for the meditative crew, subtle but weighty bass pulses roll off half stepping rhythms, tablas and all that good stuff all accented with Indian vocals instrumentation. It’s so deep, minimal it would make Youngsta proud. The final track ‘Strategy’ is a roller with a garage kind of swing to it, it skips along with big room dub techno chords twisting in and out of the bumpy beats it really comes alive and picks up the pace. Pure vibes all the way.

NMBRS11    Myth – Roska & Untold    Numbers 12″ Vinyl
Limited supply. Numbers is proud to present the debut release from Roska & Untold. In a move that is bound to shake up the markets, Long Range and Myth are the latest in dancefloor innovations brought to you by Messrs Jack Dunning (aka Untold; CEO of Hemlock Records) and Wayne Goodlit (aka Roska; MD of Roska Kicks and Snares).

After several consultations a deal was sealed with the board at Numbers who in turn offered to provide logistical and technical support. A1 – Myth was constructed from the careful sculpture of demented wailing horns underpinned by precision crafted beats and bass. Leading industry experts have been hailing this as a step forward in the merger between Grime and House.

NOMIC002    Seems Like / The Cycle Ft. Skream – Riya    Autonomic 12″ Vinyl

Finish copy promo. Next in line on a very busy Autonomic schedule is a single from one of the hottest vocal talents around, Riya. Lacing the Autonomic sound with her voice was an obvious choice for the Autonomic camp and the results are two timeless tracks that have been picked up on by a huge cross section of DJs such as Skream, Youngsta,dBridge, Instra:mental and many more. A) Riya – Seems Like – Having become popular after featuring on the Fabric/dBridge and Instra:mental Autonomic CD, this track has rightly been given a home on the Autonomic imprint and has been eagerly awaited by many. Riya proves her songwriting talents once again and complemented with the backing track by a certain other Autonomic
artist, this one was never going to fail. AA) Riya – The Cycle – The AA side offers us a different angle from Riya, with a steadily building backing track her vocals loop in a hypnotic and enchanting cycle around Rhodes chords and a pumping heartbeatlike 4×4 bassline. Pure simplicity and an uncluttered soundscape gives this track the listen again qualities expected from Autonomic.

PAL061 Assimilation – John Tejada & Josh Humphrey Palette Recordings 12″ Vinyl

Finish copy. Tejada and Humphrey made their debut together late in 09 with their “Marooned,” ep. “Assimilation” continues the theme of being marooned in Los Angeles. The four works compiled here are the result of the best moments out of 20 recording sessions. The music is for the most part assembled with analog instruments with Humphrey and Tejada bringing their modular gear together for the sessions. Humphrey’s knowledge of synths and programming is quite extensive. He until recently helped operate LA based Big City Music, a dealer of modular and boutique synthesizers.
The four works cover a wide range. “Assimilation” builds up panning modular basslines and swirling percussion with a building chord line that brings things together as the drums build. “Culture Shock” uses pitch shifting trickery to transpose the main melodic hook slamming it into nasty modular bass modulation giving the track it’s pretty/dark edge. “Adaptation” keeps it’s modular touches a bit more subtle focusing on classic melodic Tejada chords and nostalgic beats. “Subversion” rounds things out with a non 4/4 piece perhaps being the most nostalgic moment of the ep. This highly melodic uplifting track takes it’s cues from happy musical memories. Classic chords, 808 beats, and some melodic modular lines to close out the ep.

a2 John Tejada & Josh Humphrey – Culture Shock

AWK002 Mango Tree / 2_12 – Dodger Man Awkward Movements 12″ Vinyl
Very limited finished copy promo. Awkward Movements returns to release the debut from London’s Dodger Man – one of the most talked-about new producers of the last 12 months. And with good reason. Dodger Man’s multi-instrumentalist background opened the door for his high-profile sets bombed with back-to-back dubs of his own creation. His workings played-out live have gained him a reputation as one of the top emerging DJs, the height of which came following an impressive set at Bloc Weekend, after being hand- picked by Joy Orbison to share the bill. The natural alignment with Awkward Movements has served up his highly-anticipated debut record, and it doesn’t disappoint. Marking Dodger Man’s official debut, Mango Tree steps in where the underground bass sound’s left off. Combining the same elements that pushed Floating Points and SBTRKT to the forefront in 2009 with the vibes that future garage has brought in 2010, Dodger Man takes it up with a deep bass rhythm, crunchy hi-end synth and drums for the decks and dancefloor. Bridging the gap between tech and dub, 2_12 is the stripped down evil-twin on the B-side. Take a complex 22 track and strip it to its core without losing it’s personality and you’ve almost arrived. A uniquely complex tune – wanting to burst out but eerily contained in its black hole minimal approach of grinded synth stabs and one-shot styled drums.

DRUNK019    The Hum / rrrr – Peverelist & Hyetal    Punch Drunk Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Punch Drunk continue to twist, redefine and push forward the template of dubstep with a new 12” combining the talents of rising star Hyetal and Bristol veteran Peverelist. As part of the second wave of Bristol dubstep producers, Hyetal has already made his mark, garnering critical acclaim for his recent 12” ‘Phoenix’ on Orca and previously releasing 12”s on labels such as Reduction and Soul Motive in addition to his collaboration with Shortstuff on Punch Drunk earlier this year. This is Peverelist’s second 12” release this year following his ‘Better Ways of Living’ release for Punch Drunk and his recent mix for Resident Advisor. Both producers bring their trademark ingredients to the table, Hyetal’s kaleidoscopic synthesis and Pev’s deadly junglistic rhythm section combine to produce two very different tracks. The Hum is immediately grabbing, brimming with propelling energy and uplifting melodics. The cryptically titled ‘rrrr’ is a much darker disorientating psychedelic affair, slowly luring you into it’s groove, providing another typical Punch Drunk curve ball.

DZ001 Hedorah – Data Dubzilla Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finished copy. Data and the guys from Dubzilla bring two monsters from him to their first release. Both tracks have his trade mark production which is deep, dark and heavy. Minimal glichy drums and a grinding bline set you up for a ride then the sub bass cracks open your head! Little white lies has a crisp kick and snare that has time and space to create the scene, haunting vocals then take over with a killer bass this track is so deep you could drown in it. Acid techno samples flow in and out of the tune totally flipping the script from time to time.

New D&B Releases


SUBTITLESUK002 2098 / Yogurt Brainwave -Ulterior Motive Subtitles Music (UK) 12″ Vinyl
Ulterior Motive take you back to the future with ‘2098’, recalling pre-millennial tension with sci-fi atmospherics, genetically modified breaks and a bionic bassline straight out of the golden era of drum & bass. DJ support from the likes of Noisia, Ed Rush & Optical, Alix Perez, Jubei, Total Science, Commix and Break proves they’re doing it right. ‘Yoghurt Brainwave’ sees the UM boys swapping their trademark synths for full-fat funk bass and hinting there’s a heck of a lot more in their locker. What the DJ’s are saying:
Ed Rush “Gonna be playing 2098 for an age, doing serious damage worldwide. More tunes like this please!”
dBridge “I wondered how long it would be for someone to come along and re-ignite the flame left to fade by others”
SP:MC “Optical left the gate open and these boys are coming right on through”
Jubei “These guys are like the Marty McFly & Doc Emmett Brown of drum & bass right now, bringing that funk back. As Ulterior Motive build momentum, we all wait with great anticipation”

Muffled horns and vocals keep things interesting leading up to a subterranean breakout takes things into dubby territory! A truly wonderful piece of original music!
AA. HYDRATE ( CONSEQUENCE REMIX ) Known for his work with the Autonomic crew, Consequence seemed the perfect match to recreate an already wonderful tune and does a great job with this remix. A hazy intro with dusty crackles leads into the tune’s signature kick with claps. Dubby stabs with a drawn out horn take things deeper before the bass punches through. Consequence has taken his signature minimal sound and added upon the original for a truly deep, original recreation. These are the kind of remixes we like! Dub Dub Dub!!!

BLR005R Twisted -Outrage Backlash Records 12″ Vinyl
Fifth release for Outrage’s Backlash Records imprint, and the funk has no sign of ceasing! We’ve got two dynamic plates on this one, and the fiery “Twisted” kicks things off. In his no-nonsense approach, this cut wastes no time in getting to the point: once the infectious bass is introduced, its go time! It’s an understated menace, with not too many elements mucking up the pressure – just snappy drums, a rumble of a bass and some interesting twists and turns to the main theme. Bombastic, try it on a ready crowd. On the flipside, Outrage goes a bit deeper with “New Faces”, bringing in a sinister growl and pairing it up with a bouncy bassline. Feels like the effects of a drug, blood rushing, lights skittering, all colors awash, and all you see are a sea of new faces. Welcome to the future.

New D&B Promos


RECIPE010 Cold One / Fallen Angel -Skeptical / Skeptical & Dub Phizix Ingredients Records 12″ Vinyl
BIG TUNE!! So much attention this year has been on the minimal sounds within drum & bass.
Skeptical, a name creeping up the chain, has really honed this skill of keeping it minimal yet powerful. “Cold One” is arguably his finest tune to date. Bringing back the hoovers, while delivering a totally fresh style, this is a must have tune. Dub Phizix from Manchester, is another new name, but with a slew of releases on big labels pending it won’t be long before he becomes a buy on sight artist. This co-lab with Skeptical is absolutely dangerous, watch the bassbins, i’m telling ya!

TRIM016PT1 Feed The Culture EP 2 Part 1 -Neonlight & Hedj / Rido & Morebeat Trust In Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Feed the culture EP2 picks up where the much acclaimed part one ended. An exciting mixture of drum and bass with different blends from techno dnb to jump up, atmospheric soundscapes and film music moods was compiled here. Starting out with the great ‘System Error’ that has been on heavy rotation from deejays nationwide, Neonlight & Hedj lay down another future classic. ‘System Error’ begins with a sci‐fi movie athmosphere before it drops into a marching bassline, accompanied by the retro rave keys and pads that this collective is known for. We are happy that we can release this great track from Hedj who departed recently under tragic circumstances. Rido & Morebeat´s ‘Machine Desire’ is a somewhat different track with a strong musical guitar riff and a funky bassline. After the introduction it switches quite surprinzingly into the mainpart, with a stabbing bass that is just a pure slab of dancefloor delight. A Trust in Music deejays favorite!

An exciting mixture of drum and bass with different blends from techno dnb to jump up, atmospheric soundscapes and film music moods was compiled here. ’Espionage’ by Sleeper Cell & Redco is a bass heavy monster that starts with haunting pads and builds up to a big fury of drums and bass. Complete with an inkey/offkey melody, this one´s a hard and hitting neurofunk carnage for special moments. Engage – ‘Amalgam’ got remixed by N.phect who turned the original with its strong hook into an even more driving track. „Amalgam“remix is a track that keeps a mix going and is suitable in many occasions. Rolling drums, pads, bass and effects merge into an entity of sound pleasure

PIPS013 ILove04 / Lilt -KidKut Apple Pips 12″ Vinyl
Adam Jackson AKA Kidkut has played a major part in Bristol’s music scene over recent years with his Immerse label releasing consistently outstanding music from the likes of Kontext, Benga, & Late to name but a few. Now Jackson is teaming up with leading imprint Apple Pips for the release of his own much awaited debut single. Apple Pips is the brainchild of Laurie Osborne AKA Appleblim who has made the label one of the most desirable dubstep/electronica imprints out there featuring music from Martyn, Ramadanman, Brackles, Instra:mental & more. Kidkut’s single kicks off with the pointedly titled ‘ILove04’, a percussive roller that combines elements of broken beat, UK Funky, & early dubstep, with snippets of garage vocals and intense twisted bass. The arrangement cuts and flows perfectly, chopping between rhythms and melodic parts with the breakdown giving a definite nod of the head to oldskool hardcore. The flipside sees Kidkut going totally tropical with the magnificent ‘Lilt’, a percussive workout built around intricate drums and rolling bass that underpin the euphoric summer inspired synth lines. Bringing to mind the stripped down work of Karizma, this is sure to go down well with the Funky heads, indeed Bok Bok is already supporting the tune. Early radio and DJ support coming from Sinden (Kiss FM), Toddla T (Ninja Tune/Radio 1), Mary Anne Hobbs, (Radio 1), Bok-Bok (Night Slugs) & Jackmaster (Numbers)

Wreaking havoc globally, NumberNin6’s rich schizophrenic sound enjoys support by international dubstep titans including Skream, Rusko, N-Type, Plastician, and Bassnectar, as well as BBC Radio 1 DJ’s Mistjam and Annie Mac. NumberNin6 (aka Nishant Parikh) whose production began in trance scene, is a master of dichotomy who meticulously fuses stark contrasts –aggressive vs. mellow, darkness vs. light –into dancefloor napalm. “Garbage” intros with menacing lyrics and a series of warning bass stabs that evoke a grimey ghetto scenario. After the drop, all hell breaks loose with a wicked NumberNin6 signature bassline and cracking snares. This is an absolute dubstep anthem and has done it’s fair share of destruction worldwide. For real. Coming with a literal double A-side, “Hunt You Down” begins with a haunting flute melody that winds it’s way up the mountain, then unloads with a massive barrage of machine gun bass stabs guaranteed to cause speaker damage and crowd destruction.

RS1005 Safehouses EP -Pariah R&S Records 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy promo. Second single for the hotly tipped London based producer Pariah on the legendary R&S record label. Parish’s debut single ‘Detroit Falls/Orpheus’ gained the young producer many high profile fans including Rob da Bank, Mary Ann Hobbs, Ramadanman, Untold, Len Faki, Appleblim, Chris Duckenfield and Will Saul amongst many others. The first ep also found its way onto high profile, and influential blogs and websites including Pitchfork, Fact, Gorilla Vs Bear, No Pain In Pop and Rcrd Lbl, and was a recommended release at Boomkat. The debut single contained the first two Pariah tracks ever recorded and were instantly recognisable as referencing the hip hop beat collages of Dilla and the moody atmospheric 2 step rhythms of Burial. This doublepack sees Pariah move further towards developing his own sound, and takes in slamming percussive club tracks, deeper 2 step excursions and downtempo and beatless highlights. Early supporters of this release include Mary Ann Hobbs, Falty DL, Ramadanman, Ben UFO, Untold and Mosca. Pariah is a peer of the likes of Burial, Bullion, James Blake, Pangaea and Untold, and part of wider loosely knit scene that includes futuristic, electronic beatsmiths such as Lorn, Hudson Mohawke, and Falty DL etc. Already an in demand remixer before the release of his debut single. He has remixed The XX, Ellie Goulding and Bombay Bicycle Club.

CLDUB010 Field of Vibrations EP -Goli and Ashburner Clandestine Cultivations 12″ Vinyl
Clandestine Cultivations are proud to finally usher in our 10th vinyl release on the 10th year of this millennium, with another debut for a pair of artists sure to join the ranks of the many successes we have broken in the past. Goli and Ashburner have been making some pretty serious waves over the past 12 months. First reaching the ears of the masses through their definitive remix of Tempa T’s Next Hype, which managed to top the slew of remixes from established producers across the field and received heavy play from Plastician amongst others. They followed this up with their filthed out bootleg of Renegade Master which flew off the shelves ending up in many a DJ’s bag. After a host of gigs all over europe and the UK, the duo are keen to show off the side of the sound they really wanted to be pushing all along. These 3 tracks are pretty far removed from the upfront nature of their previous output, with Field Of Vibrations seeing the duo refocus and refine their ample production talents into concentrated bass-weight, an atmospheric concoction that bears a much closer similarity to the seminal dubstep sound of 2006. Backed with Ashburner’s steppers special “Space Skank”, and the dark and twisted bass mutations of “Lurkin”, with a digital special containing a more energetic reworking of ‘Skank for the filthier floors; this platter is, we feel, a welcome return to the core values of dubstep in a time when everything seems to be racing off in all directions. Big dread bass for your ribcage.

SUBWAYDS001 Destination EP 1 -Various Artists Subway 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy. Subway Recordings has been a steady force within the dubstep scene the last 3 years.. Not only as a label but also as one of the most forward thinking party crews on the Dutch scene. Some of the leading Dubstep names have passed through Subway first before becoming the new rockstars of today. By flexing its sides from deep to hardcore they have been showing how far the word dubstep bends into multiple angles.. After releasing quality tunes like “Missed Calls”, “Unknown Suspect” & especially last year’s hotly tipped “Seeeriousss” its certain that this label knows quality when they hear it…And this Destination Compilation has the word quality written alllll over it.. Ranging from Mutant Funky/Dubstep to Garage combined with some of the grittiest & darkest sounds Dubstep has to offer… Subway once again shows what Dubstep is all about… Not clinging to styles or focusing on sub genres.. this compilation is all about “Dubstep” in every sense of the word…

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. 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. Nonplus Records proudly present…….…..ASC – “Nothing Is certain”

BLR004R Make Or Break / Stampede – Outrage / Digital & Outrage Backlash Records 12″ Vinyl
Keepin’ it nice and nasty Backlash hits you with their fourth outing for this Summer 2010. Kickin’ things into high gear is the grimy rumble of Outrage’s “Make Or Break”, which builds on a simply effective melody that gets your head noddin’ and your waist windin’. Interesting tune to drop in your mix, with enough space to cause mass hysteria. Following that is another stellar collaborative banger from Digital and Outrage in the form of “Stampede”. It builds like an oncoming rush of wild animals…the intro plays the calm before you start seeing a cloud of dust kicked up, heightening anticipation and fear, which climaxes in the rush of that sweeping bassline. When this one drops, you get two choices: move or move out of the way! Big boy riddims on both sides of this plate, which is par for the course when it comes to Backlash.

31R046 Detatched / Perish – Sam KDC 31 Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. One of most innovative producers in the Drum & Bass and electronic music scene, Sam KDC display a depth and psychedelic mood.stunningly beautiful music as opposed to simply ‘drum & bass’. Sam explains ‘The 12″ is a really special one to me, both the tunes reflect some really deep rooted memories and feelings of mine. I used to feel like that as a kid listening to Pink Floyd, especially at the beginning of “Comfortably Numb”, something else that was very influential to this piece. The other side, “Perish” is a really personal to me. I finished it and loved it but didn’t want to send it to anyone. It was my housemate at the time, Frank, that convinced me to show it to others, not through what he said, but the fact he asked me for a copy of it and I used to come home and I’d hear it blasting out of his room and he doesn’t even like DnB, so that was a sign to me for that one… The first vocal right at the beginning says “I feel safe with you” and that was something that was missing in my life at the time, and in truth, still is… I called it “Perish” because I sampled a home video from a couple of years ago that I wanted gone, I got rid of the video once I’d taken the audio from it and so it was like that moment in my life was trapped in that piece of music, with all other remaining context of it lost… Perished… taken from http://www.dubplatedigest.net/2010/05/dsm-presents-triad-and-sam-kdc.html

INMD007 Only Words DNB VIP / All The Time – Blue Motion Influenza Media 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Anyone that’s been paying attention to the more chilled out spectrum of drum & bass might find Influenza label owner, Eros causing quite a stir as of late. 2009 saw releases on Golden Orb, InnerGround, Fokuz, Good Looking and of course, Influenza Media; and collaborations with Paul SG, Atmospherix, Mutt, The Square and Soulgrifter. But Eros’ latest project, and perhaps most impressive, is his collaboration with Dirrrty B as Blue Motion. Since November 2009, these two have pressed their driven, upbeat sound into a plethora of labels including Phunkfiction, Good Looking, Fokuz, Ingredients,Future Thinkin, Temper D Productions, Vibez, Peer Pressure, Amen Brother,Point 9 Audio, Funk Star and many more. As we come into this fantastic release, we are met by the mystifying but beautiful intro of Only Words VIP. As if climbing a mountain, the layers just continue to build – synths, bass, rolling drums, and, of course, what melodic track wouldn’t be complete without a few angelic wind instruments? As the break rolls through, the melody rebuilds creating a state of ecstasy once again. All The Time chills it out a bit, bringing forth the soul element with Grimm on vocals. A beautifully constructed string bassline leads the way to the drop, as atmospheric trumpet riffs ring in the background. Get touched on this one!

G-ILLA005 Guilty / Black Monday – Krusha Guerilla 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. GUERILLA 05 12″ Features non other than George Krakus aka KRUSHA ‘Guilty’ is one for the deep rooted soldiers. Epic strings and orchestra sweeps encompass wild roaring amens and rediculous glitches. And just when you thin its over .. the tune really works out the madness of Krusha’s mind. he only thing this record is Guilty of is smashing it up. ‘Black Monday’ totally lets Krusha experiment with the industrial – hard metal edge found in alot of his earlier releases on label’s such as Barcode & Obscene. The intro creeps in. Winding around like a whirlpool till it drops into haltime rickus of eachoes and bass squelches. Grinding metal riffs all the way thru this piece. Defintley one for the die hard Krusha fans.

CHST009 No Warning / Jungle Fears – Distance Chestplate 12″ Vinyl
Hot on the tails of the last double A-sider ‘Menace’ / ‘Beyond’, Chestplate returns with some fresh cut flavours, once again from head honcho Distance. ‘No Warning’ is a floor filling anthem of a tune, with DJ support coming from a range of top names including Skream, Hatcha, Joker, N-Type, Youngsta, Pinch, and many more. In true Distance style ‘No Warning’ starts with a cold errie backdrop, setting the scene for the devastating drop that follows. The hard hitting b-line teases you in the drop before crashing in full weight – combining a filthy thrash guitar sound with intricate future-tech synth programming – everything you need to ignite an instant mosh pit! Flip then for ‘Jungle Fears’ – a carefully constructed deeper and more erie sonic experience in comparison to the more dancefloor sound of ‘No Warning’. Distance takes you through the paranoid soundscapes of a non-descript cyber jungle, with glitched out edits tearing you from one section to the next, haunting pads and tortured synths lighting the path way through. Don’t listen to this on your own late at night!

DSM014 The Visitor – Data Deep Soul Music 12″ Vinyl
The first DSM release of the new decade sees them continue to push leftfield, forward thinking drum & bass. 2009 was big year for Data with releases on Revolution, Horizons, premier dubstep label Tempa aswell as the mighty Metalheadz and for his first release of 2010 he returns to DSM with two tracks that cement his reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative producers in drum & bass at the moment. ‘The Visitor’ sees him come with a slightly different style than his previous releases with the stripped back, stepping intro giving way to skipping high hats that drive the track forward and a monstrous distorted Reese bassline reminiscent of late 90’s techstep. For the AA side he teams up with newcomer Kingsin for ‘Baggage’, and it is perhaps Data at his most experimental with sharp, staccato, almost off beat drums and haunting synth lines coupled with a his trademark growling bass. Both sides show a diversity in his production and goes to prove he is not one to stick to any particular style, but rather constantly innovate and push boundaries with his music.

BLR003R K Zero 9 / Eclipse – Outrage / Outrage & Digital Backlash Records 12″ Vinyl
Following up their critic ally-acclaimed Red Letter LP, Digital and Outrage link up for Outrage’s Backlash Records with “Eclipse”, a dub-soaked number to start 2010 proper! Lead by a thumping kick, this one is a dub-lovers dream, flowing with loads of effects, echo and perfectly timed ragga vocals. There’s a lot of space in this one, allowing the elements to breathe, and the atmospherics feel like the soundtrack to the moon overtaking the sun. On the flip, Outrage’s “K Zero 9” finally makes it way to the record bins. This one has been tearing things down in its slow-burning venom, and is the perfect lick to get the party started, or send a ready crowd into a frenzy with its hypnotic bass. While the dub-side of Drum & Bass seems to be almost forgotten, its good to know that the torchbearers are still around, injecting tough riddims for those who know. -Khal (dogsonacid.com)

MODULE002 The Cleaner / Raindance – Hybris Critical Presents : Modulations 10″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Modulations is the proud younger sibling of Critical music launched in 2010. The label got a head start with Lenzman and now brings yet more vacuum-packed freshness, this time from new boy Hybris. An awesome second release for the fledgling imprint that’s got people talking throughout the scene. The schedule for Modulations will include artists old and new with each release coming on 10” high grade virgin vinyl in a gorgeous slick housebag. A discerning product for the discerning D&B fan. First up is ‘The Cleaner’ with sharp drums and that dangerous subliminal, almost toxic bassline. Serving as the perfect accompaniment to ‘Raindance’ with its thunder cloud atmospherics, it has the electricity, the thickness in the air and delivers the quiet before the stormy drops. The single is a perfecect combination, even meteorologically, and should make any drum and bass connoisseur fidget with anticipation for more from Hybris. ‘Raindance’ is a hauntingly beautiful take on what we would expect from darkside of drum and bass. The tribal vocals and broken beat percussion make it a tune to be remembered with subtle but sick bass and a fantastic spatial awareness. It shows how less can be so much more with a classy production prowess that many drum and bass veterans still strive for. So hold tight and be prepared to be carried away in the hypnotic magic of ‘Raindance’.
DJ support from Logistics, Nutone, Kasra, Alix Perez, Cyantific, Rockwell and more.

INMIN001 Only Words – Blue Motion Influenza Media 12″ Vinyl

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.

NXG006 Superbad / Morning Light – Intelligent Manners / CJ Styles NexGen 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. NexGen Music touches down with its latest lick of soulful, sophisticated Drum & Bass featuring one of Russian Federation’s hottest DJ’s & Producers – Intelligent Manners and new artist CJ Styles from the original home of drum & bass – England, U.K. Following on the back of the label’s last release from Kyro & D.A., NexGen return with two absolutely heavy dance-floor killers ‘Superbad’ & ‘Morning Light’. NexGen Music releases always deliver sublime production and musical quality and this latest release is no exception. NexGen always prefers not to ‘name drop’ supporting DJ’s, as they believe in letting the music doing the talking. Truss….. There aren’t many liquid / soulful vibes spinning DJ’s that don’t have this one in the box!
A. INTELLIGENT MANNERS – ‘SUPERBAD’ – 2010 Russia meets 1970’s American rare groove-funk-soul = PURE JAZZED UP DRUM-FUNK! This tune features a tantalizing build up laced with heavy rolling drums and clever slabs of funk coming at you from all directions. The tune then drops into crazed funk mayhem with sharp, crisp drums and a deep sub bass that would churn any hardcore worm-eating stomach. This is the proper rinse-out and the ultimate ‘Drum-Funk’ tune for the summer. A must have…
AA. CJ STYLES – ‘MORNING LIGHT’ – Just as the title of the track suggests – you are greeted with warm, quiet but somewhat eerie tones exactly what you may expect to hear on a spring / summer morning but don’t be fooled! Hard crisp drums gently enter the build up with nasty bass stabs floating in and out of the mix followed by a heavy drop with multiple bass-lines and aggravated synths. While the bass is deep the gentle tones effortlessly weave in and out of the track creating a very well executed musical composition. This is a top maiden release from CJ Styles of whom we will be seeing more quality releases in the near future. Watch out for future NexGen releases featuring Qumulus, Earth Leakage Trip, D.A, Clart & mSdoS, Eastcolors, Kyro, Matt Doubt, Kubatko, plus many others.

HDB034 Hylo / Suzuran (LV & Quarta 330 Remix) – LV & Quarta 330 / Dong HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Two collaborative tracks from Quarta 330 and LV, made when the pair met the day after Hyperdub’s fifth anniversary party in November last year. These tunes exemplify the kind of meeting of minds where the best of both producers comes to the surface, as Quarta 330’s 8-bit abstraction and melodic sense contrasts nicely with LV’s characteristic lush figures and shuffling rhythms. ‘Hylo’ finds 8-bit melodies made from rebuilt Gameboys and sonar-like bleeps weaved into the crunchy snap of a reverse drum beat and warm chords, breaking down into a sonorous motif before stepping up the pace once more. It’s an energetic mix of brittle and lush sounds. On the AA side, ‘Suzuran’ is a joint remix of Quarta 330’s own remix of Japanese chiptunes artists Dong. LV places the slurring space pop of the Japanese vocoder vocal melody inside a remix constructed from syncopated drums and offkey bleeping patterns. The results are catchy and alien, as melodic sweetness is juxstaposed with the tension of the setting.

RAMP034 Fast Motion – Becoming Real Ramp Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Becoming Real is a young producer residing in a forgotten suburbia, busy channeling his very own postapocalyptic vision of London. A spectre-like entity flitting between a range of electronic frequencies, his self-termed ‘Ghost-Step’ sound is as much influenced by a conceptual future dystopia as by luminaries Zomby &Mount Eerie. Re-imagining the iciest of grime synths through a warped K Records aesthetic, Becoming Real has forged a frozen universe that still retains an unequivocally human feel. Charged with future-dread, this is music for seas drowned in oil, tar-coated forest landscapes, and a prophesised world of underwater clubs and haunted dancefloors. After a sold out debut white label release last year, Becoming Real is ready to emerge in 2010 with the release of ‘Fast Motion’ / ‘Jen’s Clock’, backed with a Scratcha DVA remix of Fast Motion.

Having had big releases on scene-leaders like Tempa, and his debut album coming on H.E.N.C.H. later this year, his versatility as a producer and engineer is second to none.

In fact after Komonazmuk & Appleblim remixed Lee Jones & Nick Hoppner’s My My project for Aus Music, Lee Jones returned the musical favour with this stunning deeper than deep house rework of Dance Too… With a residency at Fabric, and regularly playing all over the world, 2010 is looking great for Komonazmuk!

HRMN012 On The Low – Randy Barracuda Harmonia 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. 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.

New Dubstep / Funky / Techno CD


DPCD001 “My Style” 23 Upfront Dubstep tracks mixed by Caspa CD + BONUS DVD – Caspa Dub Police Records CD
Caspa’s success was no fluke though, in fact you’d be hard pressed to find a harder-working person in the industry, having built up his ever-growing empire from scratch. In 2010 he is a man in demand, off the back of his debut artist album last year “Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening!” he has remixed the likes of Deadmau5, Depeche Mode, Mike Snow and most recently U.S superstar Ludacris. He’s helped bring through acts such as Emalkay, The Others, D1 and Subscape through his labels Dub Police and Subsoldiers and via his regular sell-out label roster club shows, most notably the pre-mentioned Fabric residency. His DJ schedule is still out of control with an average of 15-20 shows per month, booked up 6-months in advance and this summer the shows are only getting bigger. In June he’ll make his debut at Sonar festival… On the main stage… In between Dizzee Rascal and The Chemical Brothers – things have changed for the boy from Chiswick. And on to “My Style!”, the brand new mix series from Dub Police that once again plans to break the mould of what a dubstep mix can be with a number of acts already being lined up for future editions. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves; this is No.1 and who better to take the controls than the label head honcho Caspa. In the mix he takes us through the full spectrum of dubstep sound with dance floor slayers from the likes of Skream, Emalkay and Doctor P through to the more eclectic sounds of Joy Orbison, D1 and Joker. Of course there’s an untold amount of exclusives to boot, giving fans an early preview of some of the biggest records set to blow up in the summer months, with brand new material from the Dub Police / Subsoldiers camp.
From the 23 tracks selected we see Caspa couple upfront and unheard material with some of the scene’s biggest anthems of the last year with Emalkay’s “When I Look At You’, Joy Orbison’s now classic ‘Hyph Mngo’ and Caspa’s massive remix of Deadmau5 “I Remember” all featuring throughout the mix. Seamlessly blended, Caspa nails it with a 100% live, 1-take exceptional DJ mix using (as ever) only dub plates, a mixer and a set of 1210’s.
The mix will also come with a bonus DVD, featuring exclusive content from Caspa and all the Dub Police crew. The DVD is Exempt for classification: Educational Music Documentary.

RISE021 Mindless – Trei Uprising Records 12″ Vinyl
Stylistically inhabiting a musical landscape populated with driving jump-up drum breaks, angular melodic synthesiser patterns and driving pulse-like bass lines, as a musical entity TREi is a genuine composer and artist. An individual capable of easily dispelling the knob-twiddling computer programmer connotations far too often associated with the more throwaway aspects of dance music. Dose is fast proving himself as not only one of New Zealand’s leading solo drum & bass artist’s but one of the rising stars of the drum & bass scene world wide. Dose’s productions cover a wide range of the drum & bass spectrum, from the harder hitting edge to the softer, deeper and more melodic side in which his dj sets portray.

APHA003 Dust Ball / The Trunk – Fracture & Neptune Astrophonica 12″ Vinyl
Fracture and Neptune are back this month with another killer release on their own Astrophonica label. They first released back in 2001 on the infamous Droppin’ Science label, which still influences and shapes their sound. In September 2009 they decided to unleash their own label, a label that is about pushing the boundaries and broadening the dimensions of D&B, so much so they already have support from fans such as Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin and DJ Food. With the re-emergence of D&B and the huge creative capacity this is the ideal time for a label with such genre-pushing potential. This is the third instalment and is a sign that the label is getting stronger and stronger with each release. “Dust Ball” and “The Trunk” have received heavy play across the DnB scene with top DJs such as Doc Scott, DBridge, Marcus Intalex, Zero T and Jubei caning both tracks. “Dust Ball” was also featured on Loxy’s CX11 podcast. Support has also come from outside the DnB scene with DJs such as Laurent Garnier loving this release. The vinyl version of this release was 100% manufactured in the UK and pressed at the legendary Ex-EMI plant ‘The Vinyl Factory’ on high quality 140grm vinyl. This plant uses old presses from the EMI golden days so who knows what other classic records have been pressed before Astrophonica? The organic textures of ‘Dust Ball’ develop over a back bone of tight, snappy beats and an ever evolving bassline while ‘The Trunk’ sees the duo fuse tough 80s drum machines with edgy science fiction atmospheres and heavy low-end to create a paranoid stepper for the floor. Ewan Cook (iDJ Magazine – May 2010 – 8/10 Recommended) “Dust Ball shows the pair have been hunkering down at the nu-skool trough in style, its peak/morph filterings, warpish breaks and this soup of reverbed analogue goodness doing the seriously wonky, chunky damage. Do not miss.”

HUMA8029 Planet Human / Flux – SPKTRM Human Imprint 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. Over the past several years, Raphael Johnson AKA SPKTRM has become widely acknowledged as one of the most upcoming producers in the American drum & bass scene. Following his debut release in 2006, he was picked up by some of the scene’s heaviest hitters; including Dieselboy’s Human Imprint Recordings, Evol Intent Recordings, Barcode Recordings and Gein’s imprint Habit Recordings among others; and a strong set of releases (both forthcoming and current) were signed immediately. Always evolving, SPKTRM’s sound has undoubtedly gone through quite the transformation. Today, his productions range from hard hitting, dancefloor steppers to dark, sinister broken beat chaos; and lately his fascination with the fusion of deeper drum & bass vibes with elements of traditional funk and jazz. The only thing that surpasses his production style in diversity is his live shows. SPKTRM has been known to incorporate everything from the harshest of breaks and sub sonic basslines to the smooth, airy sounds of soul infused liquid drum & bass into his sets. During the summer of 2009, he took part in the first wave of the heavy metal inspired concept tour, Monsters of Jungle; alongside such artists as Dieselboy, The Upbeats, Demo, Ewun, Infiltrata, Mayhem and Evol Intent (The crew is expected to reunite in 2010 to complete a full length North American tour). Most recently, SPKTRM has linked up with Los Angeles based producer Gridlok, and is working on tunes for his infamous Project 51 Recordings. He also has additional releases lined up for the new year, as well as remixes and collaborations with the likes of Gein, Demo, Joanna Syze and Dieselboy to name a few. Through constant and tireless work, SPKTRM is rapidly making a well established name for himself; and is an act not to be missed.

DARKESTRALG001C Down With You / Higher – Pearson Sound Darkestral Galaxicos 12″ Vinyl
Limited to 500 copies 12” orange vinyl. Sleeve will have the extra varnish layer on the darker logos including the logo on the back. Printed on reverse card (uncoated card) with Pantone colour and spot varnish. Ushering in a new project for Darkestral (Galaxicos), Pearson Sound aka Ramadanman gradually opens out a warmly shimmering pad over delicate percussion track that glows over an undercurrent of soft bass propulsion, and makes explicit an emotive, hazy, laidback vibe for the ensuing long summer days ahead on the delightful ‘Down With You’. Like drowning in a velveteen cloud, ‘Down With You’ describes a place or a state of being that feels wholly desirable. ‘Higher’ alternatively takes you in different directions at the same time, personal, pastoral, dreamlike, imaginary.. summer again but with a ratchet rhythm that keeps you wide eyed at this environment of fantastical scenery he has created. At once tripped out and hallucinatory but with a relaxed and childlike sense of play. As featured on the FabricLive50 Autonomic compilation.

SUBTLE014 2nd Rate – Polska Subtle Audio 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. This is the vinyl installment of the “2nd Rate” project by Irish producer Polska. These tracks are slightly more dancefloor orientated than those on his 2xCD long player of the same name but it’s still perfect for those who prefer the meditative side of electronic music. Opening with atmospheric strains, “Setplace” is an incendiary piece of breakbeat D&B that alternates between darkness and light throughout. The constantly changing arrangement, sharp percussives and wandering bassline patterns keep your attention. Flip over for a special remix of Polska’s “Outvert” by king of the beats, Equinox. The stop / start nature of the original is transformed into a more rugged, rolling affair here which gets more adventurous and cut-up as it progresses. Sweet pads, strings and vocal snatches compliment the beats and the deep sub bass completes a real ‘rough with the smooth’ masterpiece. The third track “2nd Rate” also features on the CD version of this release and evokes images of a live jazz quartet on stage rather than a producer in a studio! The progression from nice-n-easy jazz to D&B onslaught half way through makes this tune an epic journey. Polska is coming from a different angle to most producers at the moment but this is certainly a refreshing take on the Drum & Bass sound.

IDLE003 Basic Music Knowledge – Kowton Idle Hands 12″ Vinyl
“After the well received ‘Countryman’ & ‘Stasis (G-Mix)’ 12″ for Blackdown’s ‘Keysound’ imprint Kowton returns with his first release of 2010; this time for the Bristol based label ‘Idle Hands’. Set up last year from the back room of the Rooted Records, the label aims to showcase the best in raw, grooving and experimental electronic music with a particular focus on the UK underground. Having picked up lots of interest Online
Kowton is ready to make his mark in 2010, following features in RA, Fact Magazine and Blackdown’s own blog. The two tracks selected for the release: ‘Basic Music Knowlege’ & ‘Hunger’ operate in the musical middle ground between the darkly swung garage of El-B and the dubstep pioneers, and the submerged techno sound of STL and New World Aquarium. DJ and radio support has so far come from Appleblim, Mary Anne Hobbs, 2562 and Kevin Gorman, amongst others.

SCREW002 Mind Over Matter / Cataract – Statix Screwloose Records 12″ Vinyl
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.

ISP003 A Night on the Wonk – Wedge and Aesoteric If Symptoms Persist 12″ Vinyl
‘A Night on the Wonk’ is on an experimental tip with highly addictive horn and chime hooks. The Gemmy remix takes the chime section, gives it some of the well known purple treatment and turns it into a highly distinctive but slightly sickly intro. I say sickly but that’s perhaps because I’ve listened to it a lot of times in a fairly short period of time. However we’re then treated to a bleepy roller with moderate variation to keep things interesting. This makes it perfect for an early set or casual listening. ‘Detached Reality’ crackles its way through some haunting vocals and evil guitar riffs creating a tense but soothing atmosphere – detaching you from reality, sinking you into your seat while your mind starts to play tricks with itself. What are we really here for?

New Dubstep / Funky / Techno Promos


SWAMPLP001 One Of Us – Kryptic Minds Swamp 81 12″ Vinyl x 3
Limited edition Vinyl pressing with A1 poster. Back in May of 2009, Blackdown posted an in-depth interview with Kryptic Minds and Loefah, breaking down how Loefah started his Swamp81 They spoke at length about the parallels between DnB and dubstep, especially from a label-sound point. Well, at the end of this month, you can own what’s sure to be one of the scene’s more captivating releases to date. What I want to push with Swamp 81 is the gap that isn’t really being represented anymore. The roller, the halfstep… spacious.” What Loefah heard in those first few Kryptic Minds beats is edgy, rolling, stripped back spacious dubstep that was spectacularly well made and also had its own identity– emotive, organic in places, very junglist in spirit– unlike the vast number of producers who tried to clone his sound in 2006, and failed. The first fruits of the partnership are Kryptic Mind’s “One of Us”, a deadly 12″ that encapsulates producers who understand the difference between edgy and too angry; that restraint often has more impact than chaotic release. This deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within dubstep, and how you use them is played out yet further on their new album, “I’m thinking Wax Doctor, Doc Scott, Goldie– that kind of thing. It’s that transitional phase between Reinforced and Headz that is in my heart” explains Loefah. “That’s what I’d like to do with Swamp. And I don’t want it to be labelled as ‘the halfstep label.’ I want it to have that kind of tunnel vision Metalheadz had in 1996, that kind of ‘we’re going this way. I’m not watching what you’re doing, I’m not watching what you’re doing– I’m going straight ahead.’” In that spirit, Kryptic Minds’ One of Us zooms in on edgy 140bpm halfstep, forcing the listener into a headspace where perfectly placed details come into vivid focus, like the hyper-real intensity of night adrenalin. Everything is tautly coiled, as if priming the listener for a flight-or-fight reflex. The tension is barely unleashed throughout the album. “To me the album– and this may be really gushy,” enthuses Loefah, “it’s like a night out. Leaving the house or wherever you are, going through the night and the last track is morning. The sun’s come up and it’s time for bed.” “I think the Kryptic Minds album and the 12″,” concludes Loefah, “it’s just making a bit of a statement. We’re saying ‘you know what? It’s not this, it’s not that, we’re right in the middle and we’re headstrong with it.

DP039 My 808’s / Turf W*rz – Matty G Dub Police Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. Matthew Gonsalves, known as Matty G to the world of music, is a pioneer of the US dubstep scene. Since his debut release on the Argon imprint in 2006, Matty has ceaselessly pushed his unique brand of hip hop inspired, 808 bass workouts, that have been destroying clubs the world over. His 2007 release ‘50, 000 Watts’ shook up the scene with its stripped down breaks and punishing subs, finding its way into the bag of just about every DJ worth his salt, becoming something of an instant classic. Its profound influence on the scene is still being felt today, and it has become one of those tracks that people are still searching Discogs to get hold of, at any price. His 2008 LP, ‘Take You Back,’ cemented his placing in the flourishing dubstep scene, exploring his diverse musical influences and amalgamating the sounds of hip hop, funk, soul, reggae and jungle into a 140bpm template. It still remains one of the most accomplished albums to have been made in the scene. After linking up with Dub Police head honcho Caspa, who remixed his massive ‘West Coast Rocks’ for Argon, he has recently officially joined the Dub Police crew, the fruits of which we will see over the coming months.

RNG010 Jays Reese / The Intro – L.D vs Clue Kid Ringo Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. 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. by Martin Clark

EAR014 Maroon Chant / Late For Athens – Gemmy Earwax 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. BIG BIG BIG BIG ! ! ! ! Earwax is very proud to present this huge 12” from ‘Purple Trinity’ producer Gemmy, guaranteed to cause serious sonic pressure on a dancefloor near you! ‘Maroon Chant’ is possibly one of Gemmy’s biggest tunes yet, a carefully crafted dancefloor monster brim with catchy purple melodic synths and heavy weight bass. The intro leads in with a looped tribal chant as the pattern is sucked into rolling snapping percussion before the squelching, ever-evolving bassline drops. The track build and flows effortlessly maintaining high energy levels throughout. Big tune. Flip then for ‘Last 3 Digits’ – the title being a reference to pirate radio shows where the host refers to callers by the last 3 digits of their phone number. “Let me have 1 caller for the rewind”.
Heavy hitting rave stabs punch out the catchy melody here before the track switches up into a grimey beat and even grimier bassline. Quality rave music.
DJ Support From: Joker, Roska, Pinch, Mary Anne Hobbs, Guido, Ginz, Reso, Baobinga, Appleblim, Peverelist, RSD, Plastician Dusk & Blackdown, and many more..

DBOOT010 Hello Lonely, Hold The Nation – Downliners Sekt Disboot 12″ Vinyl
‘Hello Lonely, Hold the nation’ is the long awaited new release by enigmatic bass-tronauts, Downliners Sekt. Leaving aside the post rock, industrial leanings of their critically acclaimed predecessor, ‘The Saltire Wave’, the group lays out a subsonic adventure through haunting melodies and phantasmic soul. Teaming with Barcelonan bass music pioneers Disboot, this release offers one of the most progressive discs of electronic music emanating from Western Europe. Already pushing the limits of dubstep, grime and contemporary bass music before they were officially ‘baptized’, Downliners Sekt pick up the race where they left off with their ‘Statement of Purpose’ LP. ‘Hello Lonely, Hold the Nation’ combines fine sonic manipulation with the ingenious song craft they have honed throughout a varied musical history. Crushing your white Ipod headphones into the dust, this work of high end hiss, shuffling textural rhythms and rumbling bass threatens to destroy even the heaviest sound systems. This new beast is their own niche of bass music, a style of working they like to call ‘slower, but faster’. This, their fifth release, marks the return of Downliners Sekt to 12″ vinyl format, 6 years after their first EP (for b: cuts), The Pledge, which was later released for the F Communications ‘Megasoft Office’ compilation. As the 11th release for Iberian bass pioneers Disboot, ‘Hello Lonely, Hold The Nation’ is an exciting new chapter in their potent catalogue, built as it is on the strong foundations of releases from artists as diverse as Cauto, Filastine and Offshore.

SUBSLP001 Back To The Machine – Current Value Subsistenz 12″ Vinyl x 5
Subsistenz is more than proud to be releasing an album that has been anticipated by Subheadz all over this rock and hailed by many as a benchmark release within a scene that is still developing and carving out its own unique style. Current Value has been pushing dnb to its limits with his industrial marching sound, always raising the bar in production and programming. Now with his first techno influenced album we see the master of darkness take a u-turn back to his roots of deep machine-based music and applying his theories and craft to the modern sound of techno! Techno will always be about machine noises and this album personifies one machine in particular the Nord Modular G2. Current Value with his in-depth knowledge of sound design has put this beast of a synth through its paces – creating an album of unique twisted atmospheres and energies with that straight-out-of-the-box sound that
Current Value masters so well. 98% of Back to the Machine is modular G2-based, injecting a new breed of techno that carries the old dancefloor philosophies with a 22nd century sound. With over 15 tracks to be released for this album writing about what all have going for them would read like the early manual from an Akai sampler. Crank up your headphones and get lost in the sound of one of the finest dnb/techno producers Current Value to date.. Enjoy the new dawn of techno!

GEN175002 Crossbreed Definition Series Part 1 – The Outside Agency / SPL / Cooh One Seven Five 12″ Vinyl
The Outside Agency’s DJ Hidden & Eye D continue to define and refine their drum & bass/hardcore crossover sound with this second release on Genosha One Seven Five: The Crossbreed Definition Series Part 1. This series will feature collaborations between The Outside Agency and some of the leading names in hardedged drum & bass. For this one they teamed up with heavyweights SPL and Cooh. Separate Ways with SPL is moody track with razor sharp drums that effortlessly moves back and forth between offbeat drum & bass and rolling hardcore while never losing its flow. The middle section of this Separate Way harkens back to the early, simpler days of hardcore when less was more. Soul Keepers with Cooh has a somewhat misleading title as it doesn’t have much in the way of soul. What it does have is unrelenting, pounding snaredrums that have taken the place of the kickdrums. You’ll have to hear it to believe it. They didn’t completely forget about the kicks, of course. Just like Separate Ways on the flip, this track features a middle section that flirts heavily with the way hardcore used to be: simple and effective. To sum it all up this is another multifunctional release on One Seven Five that should appeal to fans of hardedged drum & bass and hardcore alike. Pick up your copy now and start confusing the competition.
DJ support by: Counterstrike, The DJ Producer, Donny, The Outside Agency, SPL, Ophidian, The Panacea, Mark N, Cooh, Mindustries, Limewax and more.

a The Outside Agency & SPL – Separate Ways

REDSEAL005 Judgement Day EP – Calibre Samurai Red Seal 12″ Vinyl x 2
Limited Edition Red Vinyl promo. In a coup of epic proportions, New Zealand imprint Samurai Red Seal has managed to obtain 4 exclusive tracks from the prolific musical genius that is Ireland’s Dominick Martin aka Calibre. In 2009 the third release on Red Seal was a 12” single from Calibre – ‘Ringtone’/’Jackoff’ (REDSEAL003) which was a massive success with DJs from around the globe.
There was only one thing we could think of to follow that up, and that was twice the amount of music. As Calibre’s legions of followers will attest the man has endless styles and the ‘Judgement Day’ EP attempts to capture a different approach with each tune. The title tune ‘Judgement Day’ features the sultry but potent vocals of Samurai Music’s favourite MC/Vocalist DRS, on what can best be described as a stone groove. The vibe gets jagged on the awkward funk of ‘Trust’, a tune that seemingly wriggles it’s rhythm at you! ‘Don’t Want Your Love’ is a tour de force of soulful Drum and Bass, with every element combining into a soaring, rolling groove.
Described by fans as possibly Calibre’s most powerfully emotive tune to date, we advise staying away from this tune during hangovers or relationship break ups. And finally, a proud dancefloor steam-train with a buzz saw reese, ‘Jungle One’ has been floating around in the sets of a chosen few for some time now and finally sees a full release. DJ support on this release has been unanimous, with the likes of Marcus Intalex, DJ Hype, LTJ Bukem, dBridge, DJ Friction, Doc Scott, London Elekricity, Spectrasoul, Cyantific, Nu Tone, Commix, Logistics, Lenzman, Jubei and many more!
“We’ll all beg for forgiveness on judgement day….”

a Calibre Ft. DRS – Judgement Day
b Calibre – Thrust
c Calibre – Don’t Want Your Love
d Calibre – Jungle One

BRD007 Déjà vu / Lithium – Telekinesis Breed 12 Inches 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Another new release, another new talent. Breed 12 Inches’ ear for talent is becoming a cornerstone of the scene, and BRD007 intends to make no change to that. Artists Telekinesis and Kinetik assume the reigns of the latest release, with two iconically large tracks – ‘Deja Vu’ and ‘Lithium’. Working with the develop side at Breed 12 Inches, both production outfits have produced a well engineered 12″ to be proud of, and can now sit back and watch it do damage on a global scale. Already beginning to feature heavily in the rotation from the scenes finest, BRD007 is scheduled for 7th June 2010 full release, with digital release due shortly after. Slovenia’s two brightest young stars tag-team with Kinetik, in a ferociously infective 12″. Sonically prominent, and rhythmically outstanding, BRD007 builds to the Breed 12 Inches back catalogue of impressive artist development, matched by no other label around. ‘Deja Vu’ points towards the kind of tune that most wish they had produced, but few can actually pull off. Aggressive, operatic, rolling, and employing influences from a wealth of outside resources, BRD007′s A-side is the perfect arrival for Telekinesis onto the world platform. Lithium’s vibe and funk-influenced arrangement constitutes to what we would called a ‘proper roller’. A running pace is mapped out by a hot-steppin’ drum track, with a low-end designed to test any system. With the colliding influences from both Telekinesis and Kinetik, the B-side is not to go unheard.

a Telekinesis – Déjà vu
b Telekinesis & Kinetic – Lithium

BLR004R Make Or Break / Stampede – Outrage / Digital & Outrage Backlash Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Keepin’ it nice and nasty Backlash hits you with their fourth outing for this Summer 2010. Kickin’ things into high gear is the grimy rumble of Outrage’s “Make Or Break”, which builds on a simply effective melody that gets your head noddin’ and your waist windin’. Interesting tune to drop in your mix, with enough space to cause mass hysteria. Following that is another stellar collaborative banger from Digital and Outrage in the form of “Stampede”. It builds like an oncoming rush of wild animals…the intro plays the calm before you start seeing a cloud of dust kicked up, heightening anticipation and fear, which climaxes in the rush of that sweeping bassline. When this one drops, you get two choices: move or move out of the way! Big boy riddims on both sides of this plate, which is par for the course when it comes to Backlash.

SP004 3 Degrees (Remix) / Jungle Story – Soundproof Productions Soundproof Recordings 12″ Vinyl
200 Gram Vinyl Pressing featuring artwork by Zombie Kudos and Yung-e aka Soundproof are back again with their own unique style on one of the first Dubstep imprints, SP Records. First out is 3 Degrees – Originally released on the excellent Boka Records in 2005, Soundproof have added to an already deep track with this remix. A discreet and atmospheric intro leads the way with catchy, melodic stabs and the occasional kick drum. Then a riser with the sample “3 Degrees, Hold, Fire!” to signal that something big is on its way. The tune drops in with tight and punchy kicks that bounce alongside crunchy snares as the track moves along a solid bedrock of sub-bass. A few sweet drum edits later the pace picks up with added bongo’s and that catchy melody again. There is depth and movement throughout this sick track – Serious business from Soundproof. On the flip is the wicked Jungle Story. A shuffling hat pattern with the vocal “It Keeps moving” leads you through the intro accompanied by weird sounds and a straight bongo hit. Then an echoed horn takes you to the drop with a heavy bass, reminiscent of the old Jungle scene. As the track evolves you come to a massive breakdown, filled with echoed stabs and clean deep sub-bass, here the tune takes on an eerie persona. Then, Whack! Amen breaks and a sub bring the track to rinse out levels. A raw, driving track with lots of personality, on a big system this will blow your socks off. A homage to the Jungle scene from Soundproof.

3024008 Titan EP – lllum Sphere 3024 12″ Vinyl
“Titan.” Sometimes titles are just perfect, aren’t they? It’s a huge, sprawling beast that seems to inhale every mutant strain of bass music it can and exhales it in one exhilarating 4:20 blast. It opens with ominous rumbling and 8-bit bleeps (and crickets?) before ambient chords ascend out of the depths, dragging a twisting electro synth with them. That pulsating, spiraling synth slinks its way through the gossamer membranes of the track, contracting and expanding as needed, its bulbous, serrated ends emanating industrial howls like ghosts of rave sirens. Clinking percussion desperately tries to keep the track in line, but it bursts from its foundations for split seconds, causing little blips and beeps, interruptions, skitters, grasping feverishly at its surroundings; eventually the percussion splinters into fragments and things open out for a few moments, but a synthline this big can’t stay dormant for long, returning with hymnal chords in behind it, hovering, until the percussion comes back in, lockstep in with the riff as if resigned to the fact that it can never overcome something this massive. On previous releases, Illum Sphere’s fallen more into the post-Dilla FlyLo camp (what are we calling this stuff these days anyway?). His two EPs on Fat City have been impressive, but this new three-track release on Martyn’s 3024 label sees him moving into slightly more dance-oriented waters, appropriating techno into his repertoire of subtly stomping tunes. ” “Go Killum” acts as a brief interlude, two minutes of mangled synth strewn about a deserted battlefield, canned, distorted gunshots taking the place of drums. The track takes neon brightness and submerges it in murky waters, the distorted beat only letting up for a few seconds of melodic prettiness before it stomps back in and chokes the life out of it all over again, until the blue turns to grey. It feels a little bit like a palate cleanser, a little morsel of whirling synths to clear out your tastebuds for the next psychedelic main dish. “Technopolis” is just that, its tumbling piano keys hoisted aloft on a pulsing techno beat and misty-eyed chords. He even finds time to set bass notes off like depth charges, overbalancing the track and scattering silvered notes onto the breeze. It wafts along like a classic techno track, gentle drums and glossy synths, as gentle strings pluck a nearly inaudible melody deep beneath the surface, in the sewers and slums of the technopolis, the unheard masses keeping the tune afloat. It’s an evocative track, dipping its toes into the past but never falling deep into the whirlpool of nostalgia, and even if it did, the indefatigable energy of “Titan” would pull it out right away, like a crazed dog on a leash.

PTN002 More Than Ever EP – Hackman PTN 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Briskly traveling from Swansea to Leeds, PTN follows Doc Daneeka’s release with an equally hyped EP of fresh material from Hackman, who along with Doc D, featured in FACT Magazine’s top 10 producers to watch for the year. Hackman is one of the exploding Funky movement’s best and brightest producers, rising fast and unleashing unstoppable rhythm after unstoppable rhythm. Profiled by the venerable and influential Blackdown in 2009 Hackman is no stranger to hype even so early in his career. But it’s not all just hype, and if anything, the hyperbole is warranted. Hackman makes music in line with other prominent Funky producers, but his productions have a certain sheen and a peculiarly humid quality that make them unmistakable. His impressive grasp of bass (see the absolutely crushing basslines in “Bodies” and “Surround” off of his EP for Well Rounded, betrays his initial foray into dubstep, and it lends his music a power both more nuanced and more visceral than many of his contemporaries.

Don’t listen to this on your own late at night!

Finish copy promo. ‘Gangster’, a single taken from Dreadzone’s fifth album ‘Eye On The Horizon’. This 12 includes three remixes from Trolley Snatcha, Pyramid & She Is Danger. First up is Trolley Snatcha who takes the vibe of the original and mashes it up in his own inimitable way to create a no holds barred tear-out dubstep remix. Earl 16′s vocal hook “So you wanna be a gangster..I don’t think that is the answer” sets the scene before Trolley Snatcha drops a big squelchy, morphing bassline complete with sirens and gunshots – what’s not to like? Next up is She Is Danger’s deep, dub electronica mix which takes things a lot easier and provides a nice antidote to the chaos. Pyramid round things off with a decent breaks mix to complete the package. Something for everyone here but it’s the Trolley Snatcha remix that really stands apart.

DBOOT008 Oink – C156 Disboot 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Presenting the new EP from C156, Barcelona´s bassline masters. The bastard child of four young catalan producers. C156 is the subwoofer-eating monster formed like Voltron from the combined efforts of Cauto, The Gardner, Dr Res and Drome. With respective histories in dubstep, jungle, house and hip hop, C156 presents their 12″ debut for Disboot full of music that takes from and defies limitations to any of these genres. While taking their cues from Sheffield´s exploding Bassline House scene, c156 present three tracks that could have only come from the winding, gritty streets of the Gothic Quarter.The opening “1,2,3 OINK” takes dark melodies and pensive piano stabs and wedges them between rhythms alternating between hilariously phat bassline house sensibilities and half step pressure. The most sinister track on the EP, beats and bass are twisted and ground into buckwild mayhem. “Can leprous be trendy” tests all dancefloor hipsters to stand still with a maniac beat that literally threatens to fall apart as it pummels through its rapidfire rhythm changes and lfo abuse. Constantly rising and falling, the track is unpredictable and surprising, commanding you to move parts of your body you never knew existed. Ending with the current crowd favourite, “Latin Mayhem”, c156 take their latin musical lineage into the bass music fold with their tongue planted firmly in their cheek. Utilising a plethora of samples from various salsa riddims, this track is straight dancefloor fire that will have you pounding the floorboards or rolling on them in hysterics. Never content with gimmicks, the track maintains the signature c156 attention to detail and ridiculously heavy subsonics, something for heads and dancers alike. Full of wobbling bass, dancefloor murdering 4/4 rhythms and an overriding sense of humour, this is a perfect addition for the crate for those 3am peaks in the club.

a C156 – 1,2,3 oink
b1 C156 – Can a leprous be trendy?
b2 – Latin mayhem

NSDX004 Switched / Switched (DC Breaks Remix) – Mindflow Never Say Die 12″ Vinyl
Marius Mevold aka Mindflow is 25 and hails from Trondheim in Norway. His NSD debut was picked up early by 1Xtra’s Mistajam and when you hear it you’ll soon see why. Mindflow has created an absolute monster of a dubstep track that’s so catchy even your mum will be dancing her socks off to it: Fact. Switched has all the elements of a festival anthem; lush old-skool piano chords, soaring diva vocal cuts and huge sub bass wobbles that will shake any summer sound system. Just when you think it can’t get any better, the half time dubstep beat switches into rolling UK funky vibes. Really and truly, this tune is a beast and has already had HUGE club and Radio support from Mistajam (6 weeks running on his 1xtra show!) as well as Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out, Scratch Perverts, Oneman and Caspa. Of course a Never Say Die release wouldn’t be complete without killer remixes and this one is no exception. D&B men of the moment and remixers extraordinaire, DC Breaks, have taken Switched to new lofty heights with their super production skills. In line with the Old Skool vibe of the original, the crisp beats and breaks underpin an awesome sub driven roller that is sure to be on heavy rotation for the summer. DJ Support: Anne Savage, Cut La Roc, Excision, Far Too Loud, Flux Pavilion, FreQ Nasty, Futurebound, General Midi, High Rankin, Jaguar Skills, Kid Kenobi, Pendulum, Reset!, Rico Tubbs, Riskotheque, Starkey and more.

HENCH018 Disgustin Justin / Metalfoot – Lost Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. 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.

A Lost – Disgustin Justin
AA Lost – Metalfoot

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.

b Chook & Aquatek – Shades Of Orange

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. It was very important to Phil Source at the birth of the label that it would have credibility with the old school, as well as the new breed of Drum and Bass fan.

INMD006 Storms By Street Light / I Heart You – Well Being Influenza Media 12″ Vinyl
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. With his thick, soulful basslines and spine-chilling melodies, this guy might be one you’re gonna want to look out for in the next few years. Happy two year anniversary, Influenza! 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!

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!!”

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.

b DVA – Ganja

exitlp004
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
c Consequence – A Man And A Woman

nonplus003
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.

Keeping it rollin but allso keeping it brutal is something Donny does best and this could probably be his best work to date! Flip the disc over for even more Donny terror and a even heavier slab of filth.. Sabotage has crossover written all over it… With its steady kicks it could easily be a tune of the hardcore people out there to bring some diversity to their sets! Again the PRSPCT flagship delivers! heavy, hard and most inportantly.. FRESH!

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
Danish synth-rock band Turboweekend’s first release in the UK is an atmospheric yet heartfelt cry of regret on the A-side and a jumpy celebration of the end of work obligations (with an ironic twist) on the B-side, featuring the royal company of Bristol’s finest, Joker, and indie prince Russell Lissack from Bloc Party.
”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)

NZLP002S Innuendo Phase Three – Trei Samurai Music 12″ Vinyl
The final vinyl component of Trei’s critically acclaimed debut LP / CD ‘Innuendo’ unleashes a collaboration between 2 of New Zealand’s most potent dancefloor technicians. State Of Mind & Trei got together to produce the final tune for ‘Innuendo’ and the collective vibe was instantly focused directly on maximum crowd movement. ‘Thunder Biscuit’ was produced in one day of fruitful abour with all 3 talents at the boards. The reaction from around the world was positive and swift, with every DJ sent the tune supporting as soon as they got a chance to play out. ‘Innuendo’ on the flip is the title track of the LP, and serves up a menacing, rollicking vibe with breaks climbing all over the punishing, winding bass. Trei has personally used this as his opening tune for some time and if you need a statement of powerful intent, then ‘Innuendo’ will provide for you every time. Dj support from Pendulum, Ed Rush, Friction, Klute and many more besides.

With a mindset of D.I.Y. and a vision of the future, drum and bass producers GEIN unleash their new record label BAD CHEMISTRY RECORDINGS on the world’s ears.

With Bad Chemistry, GEIN is turning heads all across the board with collaborations you would come to expect, never expect, as well as new solo material that breaks stereotypes. And with support from major players in the drum and bass world, the hype is growing daily. The first release is the fitting “Bad Chemistry” produced by GEIN, backed with “Fear” with additional production by newcomers Biolysis. “Bad Chemistry” is a neurotic techy monster that is definitely made for the dancefloor, with a demented breakdown that keeps the crowds screaming for more. “Fear” is what happens when evil meets futurism, with heavy beats and sinister basslines.

DW02 Jealous Eyes (Utah Jazz Remix) – Smooth DrumWise 12″ Vinyl
The second DrumWise release with a bit different flavour, brings what’s finest in drum and bass. Utah Jazz remix of Jealous Eyes is a proper liquid roller with catchy vocals and funky piano theme. After the intro, the bass lands deep in the groove, and builds a perfect connection with the rhythmic section. The Piano shortly moves away but soon comes back to create an unforgettable romantic mood. As in the first release Smooth’s colab was a bit darker. This time on the B side his own masterpiece is light and groovy. A Melodic intro with violins and smooth pads go into a heavy rhythmic conjunction. After the breakdown the story continues with a perfect ‘disco’ build-up and finalise in a passionate synergy of beats and melodies.

EXIT018 Inner Disbelief – dBridge Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Exit Records bring their busy 2009 release schedule to a close with this outstanding 12” from label owner dBridge, featuring two tracks that have been consistently played over the last few months by djs such as Goldie, Friction, Alix Perez, SpectraSoul, Fabio, Doc Scott and Marcus Intalex amongst others. A 12” getting massive DJ support from across the scene. ‘Inner Disbelief’ is reminiscent of some of dBridge’s Gemini Principle LP tracks with a more dance floor friendly edge, but as usual without compromising quality control. It’s yet another example of dBridge using his vocal talent to compliment his productions and create his signature flavour of “aggressively beautiful” music. A re-arranged piano hook sample layered upon a moody bass line and driving beat provide the backing for this very catchy and listenable song. On the flip we have another track from dBridge entitled ‘5th Floor’. What appears at first to be quite a sparse track slowly builds into an all out roller with its musical elements becoming more and more frequent and drums gradually layering up to create pace and energy. This track screams out classic dBridge in every sense with its clever use of musical stabs, eerie atmospheres and growling sub bass.

darkestralex001
DARKESTRALEX001 One Man Jettison/Boundary Part 1 (Afterthought) // Decorum – Sabre Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl
LIMITED EDITION 500 copies on Black & White streaked vinyl, untreated black reverse board with overprinted logo. 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.
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 spacial definition but here freed of dancefloor constraint and able to run free with the more esoteric perspective often contained in his productions ‘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, beatless and airy… ‘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.

Finish copy. Operation Index” kicks off the EP in fine style, with crisp, steppin’ breaks and a subtle b-line that creeps under your skin. Following this, Silent Witness steps up with “Take It Back” a chunky piece of jungle music that showcases what Revolution is all about. Now a regular feature on the label, Steve Survival takes the stage to deliver an epic slice of atmospheric dancefloor business with “Vintage”. The final track “Eyewitness” winds up the EP in fine style with a minimal, glitchy, techno-influenced journey into the deep

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.

LB005 All Ends EP – Limewax & Current Value L B Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 2
Triple Vision proudly welcomes L B Recordings to the drum’n bass roster. Limewax is the man behind this label. This young man has been releasing tunes under Dylan and Tech Itch’s wing since 06 and they both have been hammering his releases over and over. You will probably never hear a set of these guys without at least 3 Limewax tunes in it. After a series of serious 12″ he released his greatly anticipated ‘Scars on the horizon’ album on Technical Freak. Things just got messier from that and nowadays mister Limewax is touring the world with his razor sharp beats, strange offbeat like rhythm patterns and ghastly soundscapes.
For this brand new double pack EP Limewax teams up with German Angstgegner Current Value. Current Value has been releasing his particular drum’n bass since the late 90ties on labels like Position Chrome and is now seen as one of the pioneers of this hard drum’n bass style. 2012, the day of Silence is the name of his new album and is due to be released any day now. One thing is for sure: this EP is not for the faintharted. Make sure to tighten your seatbelts, say goodbye to you dear ones and let the music take you to new dimensions.

EX7002 Swagga – Excision & Datsik EX7 12″ Vinyl
Vinyl copies of EX7001, Excision – ‘Yin Yang’, sold out in a matter of weeks, while the digital release has been sitting pretty at the top of the Beatport dubstep chart ever since it was dropped. Now, following on from their immense first 12”, EX7 is back with an even more impressive pair of dance floor killers. EX7002 has been getting plenty of attention from all comers, with dubstep, breaks and even drum & bass DJs all clamouring to get their hands on it. The A side, ‘Swagga’, was a feature in Excision’s DJ sets on his recent UK tour as sweaty crowds of teenagers rushed the decks shouting “Play Swagga!” in anticipation of its filthy bassline combinations (we kid you not, we feared for our lives…). Not only that, but ‘Swagga’ is the only non-Rusko track that Rusko’s been battering on all his recent radio mixes; for proof just check out his recent Breezeblock mix for BBC Radio 1. Teaming up with fellow Canadian, Datsik, once again on the flip, Excision creates another mechanoid-influenced stomper that hails the beginning of Armageddon. Monster bass and super-hard beats are what ‘Invaderz’ is all about, another piece of heavy artillery for Excision & Datsik’s sonic armoury. **Watch out for Excision & Datsik remixes for CTRL-Z & The Freestylers and Wu Tang Clan hitting the streets soon.**

ear012
EAR012 Chicken Foot – Clue Kid Earwax 12″ Vinyl
It’s been a while now since Clue Kid released his debut single here on ‘Earwax – ‘Halogen’ and ‘Down & Dirty’ (2006). We are very pleased to have him back on wax, demonstrating his progressions as he’s has mastered his art. The lead track ‘Chicken Foot’ is a one for the clever stepper who likes his wobble to be little more deadly and refined in delivery. It’s a banger alright but one with plenty of restraint and fine style. Opening pads chime a deadly warning before the wonky bassline thumps in, heavily grooved and heavily weighted. Sporadic conga riffs cut through on point, adding to the momentum generated by the no-compromise bassline. Hold out for the 2nd drop as it twists a new way round! Flip then for the equally deadly but more stripped down ‘Shifty’. Perhaps not the most appropriate title ever conceived but a fine piece of heavy artillery nonetheless. Taking a 2005 Loefah sound (and supported by him for this very reason) and redefining it in a Clue Kid style. Excellent quality rhythm and bass music with a dark and unforgiving edge. Support from: Pinch, Loefah, Mary Anne-Hobbs, Plastician, N-Type, RSD and many more.

OSMUK007 Life Continuum – Kryptic Minds Osiris Music UK 12″ Vinyl
Kryptic Minds first release since their highly anticipated ‘One Of Us’ Album on Loefah’s Swamp81 label. Kryptic Minds show they have many strings to their bow in the shape of this killer 2 track 12” on their own Osiris Music uk imprint. X_Life Continuum shows the guys going in deep with hard synth manipulation, warm pads and haunting choir which glides in and out effortlessly through the mix. Best listened to in a dark room, with a massive sound system, for people who like to feel the bass rattling they’re chest! Y_Wondering Why this is the yang of the flip, with a different feel altogether, in what only can be described as beautiful! With a skippy half time beat, and the sense of emotion from the off. As soon as the needle hits the edge of the record you know you are in for an emotional six minute journey. With a ghost like female vocal that glides through the track like a hot knife through butter. One for the head phones but also rocks the dance.
DJ support: Youngsta, Loefah, Mala, Headhunter, N – Type, Pinch, Distance. Mary Anne Hobbs.

FAISTY002 Suntime – Dom Faisty Records 12″ Vinyl
Faisty Records returns with it’s second offering of up front bass music, featuring two tracks crafted by DJ and Producer DOM.

The Brighton based producer DOM has had a string of successful releases both on Faisty Records and on Clandestine Cultivations and his tracks regularly get crowds moving in clubs everywhere. Watch out in the near future for forthcoming releases on Faisty, Clandestine and L2S.

CLDUB009 Coastal Dubs Part 1 – Ultrasound / Hizzle Guy Clandestine Cultivations 12″ Vinyl
The first in a series of Clandestine plates devoted to exposing the production talents of Brighton town. Presenting two producers destined to go a long way: Ultrasound and Hizzle Guy. Two very distinct takes on bass heavy 140bpm music, these tracks have been alternately blissing out and smashing up dancefloors around the world in recent months, so here they are for you to continue the trend. ULTRASOUND consist of two Brighton based DJ producers and a London based sound engineer. Between them these three have released a huge number of tracks across different genres over the years, DJ’d different styles of music in venues all over the shop, worked in record shops and are now behind the highly acclaimed “well rounded” label. For their first release as a production outfit Ultrasound have distilled Dubstep through a refined apparatus of trip-hop, soundsystem warmth, Berlin texture and sheer musical sensibility into something both unique and familiar. With big support from the leftfield of Dubstep and tastemakers like Belgiums Bunzero. HIZZLE GUY is a young Brighton based DJ who along with his Gangoon Dubz crew has taken Brighton by storm with his raw and instinctive DJ style and tunes. We really can’t overemphasize how much energy this guy has on the decks, and it transfers straight to his tunes. Dread is an absolute low slung monster of a tune in the rave, at once hype filled and drudgingly weighty, with a loping propulsion and gully vibe thats been sorely lacking from “dancefloor” dubstep of late. Think Slaughter Mob meets Cluekid and you’re part way there. Already getting big support from names like Sukh Knight and Afterdark.

NCOMP001 Druid – Marlow No Comply Recordings 12″ Vinyl
*EXTREMELY LIMITED COPIES* Each copy is hand-numbered, hand stamped, and hand-painted by the artist. Get yourselves a completely unique and highly collectible product.
DJ SUPPORT FROM: CASPA, N-TYPE, THE OTHERS, EMALKAY, PINCH, EXCISION, DZ, WALSH, MATT U, MRK 1.
‘No Comply’ is a brand new label from veteran dubstep producer Marlow, and he continues to carefully carve out his own sound with a classic blend of dense melodics, emotive vocals and pulsing basslines. ‘Druid’ is no exception: an intricate wall of music hits you immediately, crunching mid-range that doesn’t over do it, pulsing 4×4 drums, and plenty of colourful detail, all heightened by a sweet vocal akin to the soulful tones of Minnie Ripperton. ‘Cattle Prod’ on the flip, once again, utilises a powerful vocal sample to build the tension for a drop that squelches and squashes it’s way through the dancefloor. – ATM Review.

ISP002 Blip / Vansan (Gatekeeper remix) – Gatekeeper / Appleblim If Symptoms Persist 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. 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.

HDB029 Sahara Michael / Fish – Ikonika HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Hyperdub’s original female producer Ikonika comes with this long-awaited release that lives up to all expectations, presenting two brilliant tracks that set the scene for her debut album due early in 2010. ‘Sahara Michael’ seems cryptic at first, but on repeated listens falls into focus, revealing its complex soul, marrying bright (dis)chords which contrast with the warm undertow of harmonies that flow throughout. The track steps into a bridge passage with a melody that recalls the funky worm melodies of prime G-Funk, extending the theme of contrasting polar opposites that the tune plays with. B side ‘Fish’ chanels early Detroit techno at its most abstract and painterly. Smears of bright vibrating chords flash frantically across the mix, building into thick harmonic meshes backed by a hard drum pattern before they solidfy into a triumphant melody. Strange and beautiful music, in a full-colour sleeeve to match.

b Ikonika – Fish

RAD001 Medicate – Logos Radial Productions 12″ Vinyl
Radial Productions is a new label operating out of London, UK, inspired by deep, hypnotic, space-oriented sounds from the world of dubstep and beyond. Radial 001 sees label co-owner Logos kick proceedings off with his track ‘Medicate’. Medicate was inspired by and built in remembrance of the legendary DMZ nights at 3rd Base and the lights out, eyes down vibe which seemed to transport the dedicated crowd three thousand leagues deep. Many of us still look to that time for inspiration and this track stands in tribute. The flip sees Hyperdub recording artists LV step up and spin the original on its axis. Faint murmurs of technical bass play counterpoint to the tolling bells, while the bongos and perfectly balanced drum programming roll the tune out in skippier, 2-step oriented direction.
‘Medicate’ has received DJ support from LV (Hyperdub), Ben UFO (Hessle Audio), Pangaea (Hessle Audio, Hotflush), Blackdown (Keysound), Mick Pressure (Naked Lunch), Narcossist/Kowton (Keysound)
Blackdown (Keysound): “a lost gem – really harks back to an era of dubstep that is increasingly disappearing”
Ben UFO (Hessle Audio): “both sides of the release are great. Uncompromisingly eyes down vibes”

HDB028 Aidys Girl is a Computer – Darkstar HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Some are saying, Tune of Year.. and finally on VInyl!!..Almost criminally luxurious post-UK garage sounds from Darkstar, who here check box one in the I-Spy book of faceless dance bods by not being able to lay their hands on a real-life girl to sing the hook, enlisting a talky computer program to do the business instead. But Aidys Girl Is A Computer is nothing if not sensuous; all swirling synthezisers, chiming percussion and skippy drums laced with whimpering techno-chatter that sounds not unlike an android deriving some salacious enjoyment from the warm jet of a Jacuzzi. Louis Pattison The Guardian, Saturday 17 October 2009.
