New D&B Releases


CRIT046 Erase / Locked Up – Stray Critical Music 12″ Vinyl
Bringing yet more total refreshment is Kasra’s Critical movement with what is yet another example of superlative A&R’ing skills. Stray is a name that’s surfaced previously on the Critical Sound album and more recently as a bonus remix on Sabre’s LP but this is his first solo single release and as you can imagine with fans like Gilles Peterson waiting in the wings, it’s most definitely a keeper. ‘Locked Up’ is a welcome shot in the arm for drum & bass heads and electronic fans alike. Fusing techno and 80’s sensibilities over a razorsharp break workout, it’s absolutely phenomenal. Balearic, beautiful and thoughtful music that manages to straddle the dance floor/home listening divide with ease with its soothing piano lines, simple lead and rumbling bass. One to sit and watch the sunset to, then get up and dance once the lights go down. Things get darker on the flip with ‘Erase’. A life-support bleep rings from the start under cinematic strings and pads with a sparse break until an eerie soundscape dropout creeps us all out. Then back comes that break and a walking bassline as Stray starts to play with our minds dropping in some fierce old-skool edits and a synth line straight out of a horror film to make for an utterly compelling slice of experimental drum & bass. DJ support from Goldie, Logistics, Kasra, Nutone, Spectrasoul, Friction and many more.

b Stray – Locked Up

SUBTITLESUK001 Featherweight / Glued – Ulterior Motive Subtitles Music (UK) 12″ Vinyl
Subtitles UK presents Ulterior Motive. Breaking through with a fresh & funk-fuelled sound, the Bournemouth-based DJ/production duo of James Davidson and Greg Hepworth are making their mark in 2010 and setting the pace for others to follow. These two essential singles mark the relaunch of a newly revitalised Subtitles and clearly demonstrate why Ulterior Motive are fast-building a reputation for high-quality, innovative drum & bass. Going straight for the knockout in Round 1, ‘Featherweight’ is Ulterior Motive’s biggest track to date and a firm favourite with heavy hitters like Teebee, Hype, DJ Marky, dBridge, Marcus Intalex, Fabio & Grooverider and Friction. Punchy beats combine with a classic hip-hop hook to set the vibes before dropping below-the-belt with a bassline dirtier than Mike Tyson. ‘Glued’ rolls out with infectious percussion and a rasping low-end, keeping crowds gripped to the dancefloor and reinforcing this crucial future-proofed 12”.

BRD007 Déjà vu / Lithium – Telekinesis Breed 12 Inches 12″ Vinyl
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

New D&B Promos


TRIPS003 Kontroller / ABTN – Silent Witness & Break Triple Seed 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. 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…

CRIT047 Back To The Jungle / Who Jah Bless – Bladerunner / Serum & Bladerunner Critical Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Calling all foot-soldiers to the floor! Hold your positions as Critical stand firm ready to drop one of its most rowdy releases in quite some time. Looking back to go forward we see Bladerunner and Serum going in hard with a 12” brimming with jungle riddims guaranteed to have the rudest of rudeboys skanking out as Critical shows its undeniable versatility once more. Bladerunner steps up first with the evocative, cinematic intro of ‘Back To the Jungle’, that manages to set the scene perfectly for what’s to come with tom-tom hits, deep forest atmospherics and a certain “every time I think I’m gonna wake up back in the jungle..” sample. As he says it that’s exactly what we do as in crash the breaks, mentasm stabs and the largest of basslines that takes so things old-skool you could almost swear it was 1994 again. Sometimes they really do make them like they used to and we’re very pleased that they do, phenomenal.
Teaming up with Serum on the flip sees the pair continuing the theme with ‘Who Jah Bless’, another excursion right back to the roots. Skipping breaks, bleep fx and sax pave the way to one of the all time classic studio techniques synonymous with jungle/drum & bass – the time-stretched vocal! Sitting perfectly in the mix it signals the drop of smashing drums, massive rise & fall bass and pitch shifting snares that finish this one off with a touch of class. Another very special Critical release indeed.
DJ support from Andy C, Hype, Friction, Cyantific, Logistics and many more.

JUNO10X Sense of Danger (Calibre remixes) – Shara Nelson Juno Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Producer, label boss, DJ & remixer extraordinaire, Charles Webster will need no introduction to house music lovers. From his early days working at Square Dance Studios in Nottingham engineering for celebrated labels such as Time and DiY his unquestionable talent has seen him DJ all over the world, remix tracks on labels such as Defected, Buzzin’ Fly, Freerange and Dessous and release numerous records under various guises such as Furry Phreaks, DJ Profile and Presence. Under the moniker of Presence he teamed up with Massive Attack vocalist Shara Nelson to create the deep house anthem “Sense of Danger” which was released on the seminal deep house label Pagan. With Shara’s deeply emotive vocal layered over tough beats, metallic synths and soaring strings, this still sounds as fresh and as relevant as it did 12 years ago. This release sees the first drum & bass remix of the series, which we have entrusted in the accomplished hands of Dominick Martin aka Calibre. Anyone familiar with his work or who has heard his most recent album “Shine A Light” will know he is an artist unconfined to the restraints of the norm, and he displays this by flipping the original vocal on its head to create an alternative chorus to the original, embellished with stirring classical strings and spooky pads.

EXITCD001 Blackpocket – The Album – Steve Spacek Presents Exit Records CD
Few artists nowadays can claim true originality in the music they make; artists who have their own unique sound. You can easily spot a DJ Premier break, an M.I.A. chant, or a Timbaland beat, because these are the artists who have etched out their own niche in the musical forum. These people push the envelope with their production, keeping things fresh, exciting and interesting for us lowly listeners. Steve Spacek is one of these people.
Steve White forged his music career in the early 90’s with the dance act Stex, which also featured Johnny Marr of The Smiths. He went on to found the band Spacek in the mid-90s, and quickly found underground success. Their first release, “Eve”, gained favour with many respected people in the industry, resulting in them signing to Mos Def’s GoodTree imprint and Island Records in the UK. The late J Dilla offerered up remix duties on a package that included contributions from the Roots’ Black Thought, Frank n Dank and Mos Def himself. Their debut album, “Curvatia”, was critically acclaimed, and displayed the group’s complex and challenging sensibilities, establishing them as a promising new talent in the British alternative music scene. “Vintage Hi-Tech” followed in 2003, drawing high praise from critics who called it “a downtempo musical masterpiece that draws no comparison”, and they were heralded by Style magazine as “the Radiohead of soul”.
“Black Pocket The Album” is instrumental soul at its best, an exploration into grooves and the spaces within. Over the series, Black Pocket has shown the diversity that’s possible within the soul genre, and this album pulls all those possibilities together. Every track on here shows a producer who is totally in control of his sonic surroundings: a myriad of splices and lush quirks which – like a jigsaw – resolve themselves to reveal the beauty of the whole. “Black Pocket” is an album which blows away all the usual clichés found in
the music behind soul and brings to you a future full of potential and promise.
Steve Spacek, the acclaimed voice behind the ground-breaking genre-pushing group Spacek (who were championed by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to Mos Def), made a name for himself at the turn of the century with the song “Eve’ (covered by Dwele). The song set off a worldwide buzz on Steve as a singer and his group’s futuristic sound. Imagine a robot performer in the future, in love with hip hop beatology and skillful enough to twist it into new shapes, programmed with an infused knowledge of the biographies of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson as source material for lyric writing and you might have an idea of the Spacek sound – Robotic, futuristic, hip-hop based soul. Steve Spacek has also worked with Mark Pritchard on his recent Harmonic 313 album, or their joint 12″ on Warp this year under the alias Africa Hi Tech. His back catalogue, includes labels like Giles Petersons Brownswood, BBE, and more recently he had a Blackpocket release on Fat City which had a Martyn Remix.

HFCD004 Crooks & Lovers – Mount Kimbie Hotflush Recordings CD
Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos – are set to release their highly anticipated debut album ‘Crooks & Lovers’ on Scuba’s Hotflush label in July. Mount Kimbie’s first two EPs – ‘Maybes’ and ‘Sketch On Glass’ – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were instantly turned into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind – albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of other minds. Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion when released last year with ‘Sketch On Glass’ recently undergoing reworks from the likes of Faulty DL, SCB (Scuba’s darker techno alias) and their sometime collaborator James Blake. With their own remixes (Foals and The xx) becoming hot property, Mount Kimbie have been a core part of the growing scene in London often associated with labels like Hyperdub and Hessle Audio. Dom and Kai met whilst at Southbank University, pushed together in a student halls that was previously a mental asylum – where the ceilings were still ridiculously high to stop patients hanging themselves: “a cold, joyless, concrete building – the sort of building where you’d drop a pen and the sound would just go on and on in an echo.” Armed with found sound snips and a siege mentality, Kai and Dom set about turning London’s ambience into rhythm, its chaos into coherence. Traces of influence remain – the hard-earned spaces of Burial and The Bug vie with the berserk melodrama of Xiu Xiu and Grouper’s sad-eyed glow, D’Angelo’s pervert soul gets cleansed in the intimacy of Phil Elvrum’s Microphones, Angelo Badalamenti’s swollen ‘Twin Peaks’ atmospheres find a cradle in Madlib’s lax lope. The band’s sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own. Sceneless and untethered from etiquette and genre codes, ‘Crooks & Lovers’ floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno and ambient, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect.
Mount Kimbie – who play as a live band – have announced a string of European festivals & shows for the summer.

1 Mount Kimbie – Tunnelvision
2 Mount Kimbie – Would Know
3 Mount Kimbie – Before I Move Off
4 Mount Kimbie – Blind Night Errand

New Dubstep / Funky / Techno releases

ASC003 Step Aside – DJ Silkie Cloqworq Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Dj Silkie provides his debut single on Cloqworq Recordings, which consists of two tracks written especially for this in house label. This is the first release since this producer has proved his talent time and time again with a string of releases over the past two years on the infamous deep medi recordings and not to mention the groundbreaking album ‘City Limits Vol. 1’. Dj Silkie And Anti Social Ent. as a collective are definitely ones to watch in 2009/2010 ‘step aside’ is a clever combination of hard hitting bass and breaks with the synthy, melodic and soulful elements as expected from this producer – dark and moody with a jazzy twist. this track drops into what can only be described as low end sub bass over a tribal beat pattern which is enough to shake up any dancefloor – a real stomper ‘illegal immigrant’ comes with similar vibes on the b side, starting off with emotive, dubesque pads and dropping with low down sub stabs over another unconventional but highly effective beat. this represents the other side to the anti social sound which can only be described of as the liquid/deeper dubstep sound. both tracks have had support on the highly acclaimed rinse fm on a weekly basis (www.rinse.fm) and are receiving heavy rotation from djs such as Skream, Mala And N-type in the clubs and not to mention major dubstep icons such as Hatcha from kiss 100 and Maryanne Hobbs from radio 1, this highlights the versatility of these tracks and the potential to cross into dj sets from different genres – a real must for all serious dubsteppers worldwide.

Their debut album, “Curvatia”, was critically acclaimed, and displayed the group’s complex and challenging sensibilities, establishing them as a promising new talent in the British alternative music scene. “Vintage Hi-Tech” followed in 2003, drawing high praise from critics who called it “a downtempo musical masterpiece that draws no comparison”, and they were heralded by Style magazine as “the Radiohead of soul”.
“Black Pocket The Album” is instrumental soul at its best, an exploration into grooves and the spaces within. Over the series, Black Pocket has shown the diversity that’s possible within the soul genre, and this album pulls all those possibilities together. Every track on here shows a producer who is totally in control of his sonic surroundings: a myriad of splices and lush quirks which – like a jigsaw – resolve themselves to reveal the beauty of the whole. “Black Pocket” is an album which blows away all the usual clichés found in
the music behind soul and brings to you a future full of potential and promise.
Steve Spacek, the acclaimed voice behind the ground-breaking genre-pushing group Spacek (who were championed by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to Mos Def), made a name for himself at the turn of the century with the song “Eve’ (covered by Dwele). The song set off a worldwide buzz on Steve as a singer and his group’s futuristic sound. Imagine a robot performer in the future, in love with hip hop beatology and skillful enough to twist it into new shapes, programmed with an infused knowledge of the biographies of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson as source material for lyric writing and you might have an idea of the Spacek sound – Robotic, futuristic, hip-hop based soul. Steve Spacek has also worked with Mark Pritchard on his recent Harmonic 313 album, or their joint 12″ on Warp this year under the alias Africa Hi Tech. His back catalogue, includes labels like Giles Petersons Brownswood, BBE, and more recently he had a Blackpocket release on Fat City which had a Martyn Remix.

HFLP004 Crooks & Lovers – Mount Kimbie Hotflush Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 2
Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos – are set to release their highly anticipated debut album ‘Crooks & Lovers’ on Scuba’s Hotflush label in July. Mount Kimbie’s first two EPs – ‘Maybes’ and ‘Sketch On Glass’ – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were instantly turned into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind – albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of other minds. Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion when released last year with ‘Sketch On Glass’ recently undergoing reworks from the likes of Faulty DL, SCB (Scuba’s darker techno alias) and their sometime collaborator James Blake. With their own remixes (Foals and The xx) becoming hot property, Mount Kimbie have been a core part of the growing scene in London often associated with labels like Hyperdub and Hessle Audio. Dom and Kai met whilst at Southbank University, pushed together in a student halls that was previously a mental asylum – where the ceilings were still ridiculously high to stop patients hanging themselves: “a cold, joyless, concrete building – the sort of building where you’d drop a pen and the sound would just go on and on in an echo.” Armed with found sound snips and a siege mentality, Kai and Dom set about turning London’s ambience into rhythm, its chaos into coherence. Traces of influence remain – the hard-earned spaces of Burial and The Bug vie with the berserk melodrama of Xiu Xiu and Grouper’s sad-eyed glow, D’Angelo’s pervert soul gets cleansed in the intimacy of Phil Elvrum’s Microphones, Angelo Badalamenti’s swollen ‘Twin Peaks’ atmospheres find a cradle in Madlib’s lax lope. The band’s sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own. Sceneless and untethered from etiquette and genre codes, ‘Crooks & Lovers’ floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno and ambient, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect.
Mount Kimbie – who play as a live band – have announced a string of European festivals & shows for the summer.

TURBO084 Gentle Giant Remixes – Tiga Turbo 12″ Vinyl
(martyn, efdemin, mathew jonson rmxs) the latest in a series of remix 12-inches from Tiga’s 2009 album Ciao!, featuring some of the most respected and sought-after producers in dance music taking on the most respected icon in dance musi When a song means a lot to you personally, having it remixed is a lot like sending your child to undergo plastic surgery. In this case, though, it was like having the operation performed by doctors you respect as musicians. This is most likely my favorite track off Ciao!, and the response I’ve gotten from fans seems to suggest I’m not alone. They come up to me and say, “Tiga, that was an amazing game of racquetball, but the real reason I’m here is to tell you how much “Gentle Giant” means to me.” And it’s not uncommon for my sports goggles to fill up with salty blue Gatorade tears, mainly because I thought we had been playing squash. Some may claim that the remixes on this release are too diverse, that they strain the acceptable boundaries of what’s eclectic and what’s too hectic to sex with. And to that I say, “You can’t shame the Rebel, dog. You can’t even try.”

New DnB CD


FFLP1 The Cocoon LP – Chook Full Force Recordings CD
There was once a time in drum & bass where to try your hand at other genres was practically an insult to the staunch elitism of the genre. Drum & bass knew best, and what it knew most preciously of all was to soak up outside influences like a sponge, then regurgitate them in its own 170-ish-bpm breakbeat style – with an added middle finger to anyone who dared question the futurethinking outlook of the protagonists involved.
Now, more than a decade since artists like Ed Rush & Optical, Source Direct and Matrix were hailed as the sonic beat scientists of the millennium, it’s become trendy to mash together a whole bunch of genres and styles all under one artist alias roof. Chase & Status made dubstep and drum & bass spiritual and literal
dancefloor partners in just a few swift moves and Sub Focus turned his hand to bassline house alongside classic jungle and technoelectro infused D&B on his recent self-titled debut album. Meanwhile Annie Mac has practically made an institution amongst dance music fans by splicing together all styles with a common theme – incredible, filthy basslines and a cheeky attitude. But amongst all the multi-genre mashing and the come-and-go tunes of the day, it can be hard to pick out something which has a shelf life longer than the next epileptic bassline to quake the local dancefloor or the latest remix from a moribund LFO maniac, slowly descending into blog house madness. However, into that void steps a producer with a history for sticking to his aesthetic guns; a producer who’s not afraid to touch the other side of the genre explosion; a producer who arrives at the party armed with a suitcase full of subtlety and an outlook more akin to the artists of old. 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. Now, five years since he started Full Force, Chook dlives 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.

Ashley ‘Skeptical’ takes a step towards the deep, dubby vibes of underground Drum & Bass, harking back to oldskool Metalheadz with “Transfer” a bassline roller.

SUBTLE013 Tensions – Sub Subtle Audio 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. Subtle Audio makes it’s return to the vinyl fold with this brand new 3 tracker by Austria’s Sub. Living at high altitude in his native land, it comes as no surprise that these tracks exude an icy sound. “Tensions” is a beautifully delicate piece of D&B. Sharp snares, hi-hats and drifting atmospheres are underpinned by a sub-zero bass sound. Suddenly the beats thicken and become twisted and glitchy. It’s almost as if a frozen lake you were standing on is beginning to crack and give way! “Halleluja” is on the half-speed tip and will not even sound like D&B to most. Choir voices are interrupted by a stepping beat and a shuddering, dirty bassline, offset by a world of icey atmospherics, echoes and feedback. This sound is truly from another planet. “Hydra” is something a little different for Subtle Audio – clocking in at 120bpm but it certainly doesn’t sound like house or techno! It’s a nicely mellow track with a lurching, jerky beat that is filtered and reversed but always rhythmical. Dark Rhodes keys and then a bright piano line ensure a nice variance of mood in this beautifully balanced piece.

a Sub – Tensions
b1 Sub – Halleluja
b2 Sub – Hydra

Kamal Joory AKA Geiom has been busy producing since the late 90’s pushing the downtempo and ambient sounds of IDM and merging them with his love of raw grime and garage instrumentals. In 2006 Geiom started the ever-reliable Berkane Sol imprint releasing his own work (most notable the stunning ‘Reminssin’ featuring Marita) but also giving Brackles and Shortstuff their first outing on wax. Geiom’s remix of ‘Protecting Hands’ sketches out a dreamy, beautiful half-step approach with his love of electronica clearly coming heavily in to play, complimenting the original ghostly vocal perfectly. One of his best productions we think? Isan have been making minimalistic electronics since the mid 90’s with killer releases on Morr Music and Static Craven. Clouds are clearly fans of their work and this comes across in their remix as they dissect the original and create a blissful, beatless journey, permitting the sound to develop organically, with their intuitive grasp of melody and their intelligent manipulation of sound dictating its direction.

EX7003 Subsonic – Excision / Excision & Noiz EX7 12″ Vinyl

Ever wondered what the apocalyptic soundtrack to invading robots ready to destroy the world would sound like? Well you’re about to find out as Excision drops the latest 12” on his own EX7 label. Following the immense dancefloor killer ‘Swagga’, supported heavily by Rusko and Mistajam, Excision steps up on the A side of EX7003 to deliver ‘Subsonic’, an incredible blend of super-tough beats and grinding bass. Opening with prophecies of robotic doom before stamping down its mark of totalitarian authority, this one destroys the dance each and every time. Flip over and Excision teams up with Noiz to create ‘Force’ a shifting tumultuous slab of whirling and interchanging basslines that create a wall of sonics just powerful enough to crack a rib or two. Haunting FX and skipping percussive rhythms pave the way for utter destruction.

SPEAKS001 The Always EP – Hackman Shifting Peaks 12″ Vinyl
With a label HQ based half way up a cliff in deepest North Devon, and an artist roster that includes a Hampshire lad living in Leeds, a crew of Cubans holed up in Hackney, and the hottest new thing to come up out of Leicester since Willie Thorne hung up his cue, new label Shifting Peaks won’t be easy to pin down geographically . And musically it promises to be no less diverse, covering everything from the deeper end of Funky and 2010 Garage to Cuban Hip Hop and dubbed out Beats. Kicking things off in style for the label is Leeds resident Hackman, who’s ‘Pistol in Your Pocket’ tune was one of the highlights of the recent Fabric/Elevator comp. Lead cut ‘Always ‘ employs the vocal talents of newcomer Harper Lake over a bumping UKF/Nu Garage backing that’s both warm and deep, combining proper hooks with easy dancefloor appeal. Fast rising Londoner Brackles then takes the song and straps on a phuture – garage turbo-charger, adding techno textures and slamming beats for a crunching, dynamic rework. An instrumental version of Hackmans’ original works in it’s own right , and to round the package off, the dubheads also get ‘Multicultural’, a deep, percussion driven roller perfect for late night jams and red eyed-headphone excursions alike.

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 procucers 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.

a LV & Quarta 330 – Hylo
b Dong – Suzuran (LV & Quarta 330 Remix)

New D ‘n’ B Releases


LFTD009 Conquerors & Commoners – Spor Lifted Music 12″ Vinyl x 2
Full colour artwork sleeve with Full colour poster inside. Lifted Music presents the first EP of its 2010 release campaign, The `Conquerors and Commoners’ EP. In a scene where EPshave become somewhat lost under the ideologies of albums, Spor has produced what can only be labelled as yet another benchmark within electronic music. Four unique, distinct tracks fill an EP crafted by one of 2009′s biggest artists, compiling an exotic, yet beautifully chaotic, display that shows why Spor is of the highest grade. Engineering like the scene has never heard before, arrangements that have never been attempted before, Lifted Music proudly presents `Conquerors and Commoners’ EP

KINGDOM – Already being labelled as the tune of 2010, Kingdom is the definition of Spor at his tearout best. Aggressive, destructive and slightly punk, LFTD009′s A-side is the main highlight in every respectable DJ’s set at the moment. An accelerated build up that amps like no other, the sheer velocity of the drop leaves riots on dancefloors worldwide. Drum and Bass at unimaginable heights, Spor present’s `Kingdom’.

OVERDUE – Unlike the tracks namesake, `Overdue’ has been well worth the wait. Featuring a interesting sample for the spotters, Spor’s arrangements take to new heights with a track that features South African vocalist Tasha Baxter. Reminiscent of a rocky Moroccan landscape, intricate, graceful beats accompany a glistening guitar melody full of emotion. Baxter’s vocals add a sense of humbleness against Spor’s energetic drum patterns. `Overdue’ is the tune we all wish we wrote.

KOARI – Featuring arguably one of the biggest intro’s of all time, Kaori is Spor’s erratically well presented experiment. Based upon the influence of Japanese cinema, Spor takes his production to a new level with a vocal so euphoric and magical, it will have the whole dancefloor reaching to the skies. A tumbling, rolling drum track lays the foundations to a raw midrange – the trademark Spor sound. Finishing up with an organ arrangement, Kaori will be known as one of Spor’s finest moments.

HALOGEN – Reminiscent of `1up’ from Spor’s debut EP; The Supernova EP, `Halogen’ provides the more light hearted approach to the end of the double 12”. Furiously hyped like an overcooked pancake, Halogen resembles a biology experiment taught by the professor of all professors. Fast, high-octane, and with a melody that will leave you humming like a bumblebee for hours, Spor finishes his second EP with class.

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

FFLP1-2 Demon Remix – 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.

SUBS008 Back To The Machine Sampler – Current Value Subsistenz 12″ Vinyl
Subsistenz is back after a short seasonal break with one of the masters of sound design Current Value. Kick starting our new year with two tracks off pure techy genius just a small taste of what is to come on the much anticipated album Back To The Machine (subs001). A1 – Lipophil is a new breed of techno based dnb a deep brooding machine funk that captures the essence of techno and the energy of dnb. Moving away from the noise and into the sound scapes of detuned techy melodies reminiscence of the days of smokey single strobe techno parties held in basements all over Europe. Like a dysfunctional child lipophils energy is relentless and emotionally evolving held delicately within the threshold of its own exsistence. AA2 – In The Shell has been reworked and mangled by one half of Machine Code (current value) taken from there deeply awaited album Environments due out later this year on Subtrakt. The original machine step groove has been chopped – broken and reformed into a dnb floor stomper. This track is brutal in deliverance, sound and arrangement, with no remorse current value cooks up and injects a lethal strain straight to the mother vein. BACK TO THE MACHINE – CURRENT VALUE ALBUM – SUBSISTENZ COMING SOON!!

New D ‘n’ B Promos


NOMIC001 Acacia Avenue / Detroid – dBridge, Instra:mental & Skream Autonomic 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Established in early 2009 by dBridge and Instra:mental, the Autonomic Podcast series hastily captured an audience of over 50,000 listeners each month. Whilst showcasing a wealth of new and exiting music without a channel for release, they decided that the Autonomic brand should move onto bigger things and create a label and regular club night. Having secured a quarterly night at Fabric in London, and also mixing the Fabric Live 50–dBridge & Instra:mental presents Autonomic CD, the record label was the next logical step in order to create a home for the style of music that they believe has many more avenues to explore. First up for release are two collaborative tracks A) dBridge / Instra:mental / Skream ‘Acacia Avenue’ Gaining momentum week in week out on the club circuit, what at first seemed to be quite a barren track has grown into a little monster. The intro draws you in with an unexpected switch into emotive b-line stabs, but it’s the subtle drop of the heavyweight 808 sub layered with the Pro 1 and Moog arps riff that send the dance floors silly. No crash bang wallop of drums here, just a simple riff timed and executed for maximum effect. Traveling down a moodier path than the flipside, ‘Detroid’ is an Interesting fusion of influences that create something very distinctive. Taut atmospheres and whispering sound effects fabricate a background for the loosely hanging percussion groove and murmuring bass undertone. This track is riddled with trademark production styles from both dBridge and Instra:mental, put them together in the same pot and they mix smoothly into a remarkable piece of music.

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.

BRK014 Sugar Coated Lover – Geiom Feat. Marita Berkane Sol 12″ Vinyl
Berkane Sol moves into a new decade with the future soul of ‘Sugar Coated Lover’. Back in ’08 Marita and Geiom blessed the dubstep scene with the certified classic Reminissin’, this time they turn their radar towards the vibrant keys and soca style drumz of UK funky. Elements of disco, techno and house wrap themselves around Marita’s delicious vocal, with a sweet synthy steel drum melody leading up to the seriously catchy hook. Marita and Geiom take the sounds of house music both old and new and create a sophisticated hybrid that joins the dots between producers like Todd Terry, Luomo and Roska. On the flip the unstoppable Blunted Robots team of Brackles and Shortstuff take the raw elements off to their workshop, clear some space on the bench and begin to rebuild according to their own confused specifications. They fill the CPU of the new machine with the original data, a DJ EZ set and the best bits of early Search and Destroy – after some extensive experimentation we find them both happily shockin’ out – until Shortstuff realises that most of the vocal is missing and what’s left is severely broken – so they sprinkle on an extra helping of their sweetest arpeggios in the hope that Geiom doesn’t notice. This 12″ fits perfectly into the creative space that has opened up in UK underground dance music, taking ideas from garage, techno, dub, grime and house and melting them into exhilarating new forms. It has found favour with all the usual suspects including – Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank (Radio1), Kode 9, Scratcha DVA, Oneman, Alexander Nut (RinseFM) and Untold.

After his remix of Darkstar’s “Aidy’s Girl Is A Computer” at the end of 2009, Hyperdub were quick to request an EP from Kyle Hall, and these two fantastic tracks are the outcome. Just 18 years old and hailing from Detroit, Kyle Hall has been getting a lot of attention after releasing several EPs on his own Wild Oats label, plus a one-sided single for Omar S’ FHXE imprint. However, this is his first full release for another label. Both tracks inhabit an interzone between live and mechanical music, full of details and fills that lend a playful, hands-on feel. “Kaychunk” wraps lush arpeggios and classic warm Detroit strings around shuffling syncopated drums into an upbeat track that’s almost a mirror image of uk funky. “You Know What I Feel” combines 2-step kicks that sound like rain hitting wood, with great clouds of bittersweet chords, a see-sawing bassline, and a rich swooning melody that echoes Stevie Wonder’s classic 70s synth-drenched soul.

b Kyle Hall – You Know What I Feel

EX7003 Subsonic – Excision / Excision & Noiz EX7 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Ever wondered what the apocalyptic soundtrack to invading robots ready to destroy the world would sound like? Well you’re about to find out as Excision drops the latest 12” on his own EX7 label. Following the immense dancefloor killer ‘Swagga’, supported heavily by Rusko and Mistajam, Excision steps up on the A side of EX7003 to deliver ‘Subsonic’, an incredible blend of super-tough beats and grinding bass. Opening with prophecies of robotic doom before stamping down its mark of totalitarian authority, this one destroys the dance each and every time. Flip over and Excision teams up with Noiz to create ‘Force’ a shifting tumultuous slab of whirling and interchanging basslines that create a wall of sonics just powerful enough to crack a rib or two. Haunting FX and skipping percussive rhythms pave the way for utter destruction.

New D ‘n’ B Releases


LFTD008 Entrapment – Apex Lifted Music 12″ Vinyl
After doing the rounds amongst DJ’s for a while now, Lifted Music presents Entrapment 12″. Two massive productions from top class engineer Apex, as he makes his highly anticipated return to the Lifted Music release schedule. Apex’ debut solo 12″ on Lifted Music is fronted by the now infamous ‘Entrapment’. After doing the rounds with the scenes biggest, the release date is finally set for the public to get their hands on it, and they will not be disappointed. A groovy live bass guitar accompanies a downright quirky melody, all blended beautifully through that trademark Apex engineering. A hot-stepping kick snare combo laced with intricate end-bar fills pay homage to a producer whose quality control has won awards, and testifies as to why he is one of the in demand artists at the moment. If ‘Entrapment’ is anything to go by, 2010 could once again be another big year for Apex. B Side: ‘Gonzo’ The most recent creation from Apex showcases his development as both an artist and an engineer. Receiving extensive support worldwide, ‘Gonzo’ is that track that you have heard in every club, from all the top DJ’s. Vocoders at the ready, as Apex expands his style yet again, all whilst keeping to the traditional Lifted Music standards of progression. A wonderfully simplistic, yet ever so catchy riff twines effortlessly with a Wall of Sound sub, all in keeping with that subte, yet large, large drum track that has become his trademark over the years. Evolving, progressive and unlike anything else you have heard, ‘Gonzo’ is Apex to a tee.

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!!”

Moving away from the noise and into the sound scapes of detuned techy melodies reminiscence of the days of smokey single strobe techno parties held in basements all over Europe. Like a dysfunctional child lipophils energy is relentless and emotionally evolving held delicately within the threshold of its own exsistence. AA2 – In The Shell has been reworked and mangled by one half of Machine Code (current value) taken from there deeply awaited album Environments due out later this year on Subtrakt. The original machine step groove has been chopped – broken and reformed into a dnb floor stomper. This track is brutal in deliverance, sound and arrangement, with no remorse current value cooks up and injects a lethal strain straight to the mother vein.
BACK TO THE MACHINE – CURRENT VALUE ALBUM – SUBSISTENZ COMING SOON!!

New Dubstep CD


HFCD003 Triangulation – Scuba Hotflush Recordings CD
Scuba, aka Paul Rose, has been at the forefront of the dubstep scene since its birth. Having founded the innovative and influential Hotflush Recordings label in 2003, he has continually brought colour and depth to an advancing genre, expanding its sonic structure and increasing its influence on the wider electronic scene. Through Scuba and seminal work by central figures including Distance, Vex’d and more recently Mount Kimbie and Joy Orbison, Hotflush remains crucial to the immediate moment and the developing future of the most exciting aspects of electronic music.
Following the first Scuba LP, A Mutual Antipathy (2008), and the more recent Aesaunic EP (2009), this album takes the Scuba sound to a new level. The collision of dubstep and techno has produced startling music from a wide range of producers in the last few years, none more than Scuba, and that has been well documented. But Triangulation moves past the dubstep/techno axis and into new territory. Working at multiple tempos, the album covers an area ranging from house to experimental drum n bass while retaining the Scuba sound that has become so distinctive. You Got Me and So You Think You’re Special, released as an advance 12”, reflect the range of the album with the huge bass and frenetic energy of the former contrasting with the melancholic atmospheres and melodies of the latter. The listless beauty of Before, the aggressively percussive Minerals and the hyperactive electro of On Deck provide further stylistic variation, but this is not simply a collection of tracks – for the best sonic results this album should be listened to in full.

STORM016 Solid State – Emalkay Storming Productions 12″ Vinyl
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.

ARX004 Minimal Bump EP – Nekochan Airflex Labs 12″ Vinyl
Nekochan’s 2009 debut download-only release met with success in pushing dubstep into new zones, and now comes the first foray into vinyl, with the three-track killer ‘Minimal Bump’ EP, that will further reconfigure notions of what bass music can be. The title track has already been featured on Mary Anne Hobbs, who played an early version in may last year after hearing it on myspace. ‘Minimal Bump’ is a powerful techno/break/dubstep instrumental with a huge kick and seismic bass work, custom built for dancefloor mayhem, with its layered synths, advanced rythmic shifts, cavernous drops, and an explosive production style that recalls the intricacies of prime Meat Beat Manifesto at the same time as giving Reso a run for his money. On the flip, ‘Bombine’ is another view entirely; a emotive disjointed stepper with melancoly pop tones, which unfolds in a smokey torch-song style to reveal further layers to Nekochan’s innate musical instincts. It’s fluidly evolving contrasts between dominant bass levels, powerful rhythms, and subtlypitched Japanese strings mix and grow around that voice, putting the listener as much in mind of Burial’s sadness as Bjork’s vivid expression. Finally, Vahiné is a refreshing journey into a lighter and atmospheric dubstep style, reminiscent in mood of Scuba or Martyn, with a dynamic bouncy drum pattern delivering the perfect groove for the heavy bassline to ride on while the sweet string melody leads from the front. Essential purchase for anyone seeking out new directions in heady dancefloor electronics.

RAMP028 Maintain – Computer Jay Ramp Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. COMPUTER JAY returns to RAMP after the massive Distance/Epiphany 10” earlier this year, with Maintain. Now if you don’t know, Jay is an LA resident, and part of the collective that includes Flying Lotus, Ras G, Gaslamp Killer, y’all know the names… Jay’s best friend is a computer, surprisingly named Computer. Computer is a wise cracking collection of circuit boards, and enjoys spitting crazy verses over Jay’s synth-heavy beats. Maintain is their first collaboration that has reached wax, and boy, you better brace yourselves! Ascending analog flourishes scattered over Jay’s minimal beats, giving Computer room to do his thing. Jay’s epic production packs more into 3 and a half minutes than most producers can cram into 10. True to form, we have drafted an unrivaled array of remixers in for the project. RAMP’s best boy FaltyDL is first up, and gives us an edgy and uncomfortable edit in his unique garage-not-garage style. Upstanding member of the community, and all round lovely chap MIKE SLOTT steps out of his comfort zone with some euphoric basslined hip hop badness. IKONIKA brings the project to its conclusion with a hands-in-the-air, wonky, broody techstep rendition. DJ SUPPORT FROM MARY ANNE HOBBS, ONEMAN, CLOUDS, ALEX NUT, KODE 9.

MEDI024 Protecting Hands Remixes – Clouds Deep Medi Musik 12″ Vinyl
Finish Copy. Following on from the highly acclaimed original productions ‘Protecting Hands (Parts 1 and 2)’ released mid-2009 on DEEP MEDi Musik, Clouds have enlisted Berkane Sol’s label owner Geiom and experimental electronic minimalists Isan to dissect and rebuild. Kamal Joory AKA Geiom has been busy producing since the late 90’s pushing the downtempo and ambient sounds of IDM and merging them with his love of raw grime and garage instrumentals. In 2006 Geiom started the ever-reliable Berkane Sol imprint releasing his own work (most notable the stunning ‘Reminssin’ featuring Marita) but also giving Brackles and Shortstuff their first outing on wax. Geiom’s remix of ‘Protecting Hands’ sketches out a dreamy, beautiful half-step approach with his love of electronica clearly coming heavily in to play, complimenting the original ghostly vocal perfectly. One of his best productions we think? Isan have been making minimalistic electronics since the mid 90’s with killer releases on Morr Music and Static Craven. Clouds are clearly fans of their work and this comes across in their remix as they dissect the original and create a blissful, beatless journey, permitting the sound to develop organically, with their intuitive grasp of melody and their intelligent manipulation of sound dictating its direction.

There aren’t many vaugly dubstep related DJs NOT playing this right now, its an anthem already, people even try and sing along. Loefah is now his label Swamp81 and its absolute madness. Whatever happens, the track is sick. http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4249517

Seven is an upcoming artist who’s releases on Aquatic Lab triggered some attention he has since been working heavily on collabs with N-Type and… Youngsta, who isn’t famed for his productions, more for his expert DJ skills showcased regularly on Rinse FM. ‘Masiamara’s atmospheric intro is classic Youngsta vibes, deep, dark and heavyweight, reminiscent of SP:MC’s recent output, rolling drums and a funky bass line.

LAB009 The Sound – Cluekid Aquatic Lab Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Aquatic Lab kick of 2010 with an already established club anthem. Cluekid’s remake of Reggie Stepper’s ‘Drum Pan Sound’ strikes heavy with a ruff and rugged bassline that rolls nicely under the familiar melody & vocal hooks of the original. The drums on this one are clean, precise & ten tonne. The flip features an old school revivalist joint with the palette borrowing from Jungle. ‘Late Nights’ brings forth quality production techniques, from the crisp percussion to the warm massively padded bassline. Essential.

SPEAKS001 The Always EP – Hackman Shifting Peaks 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. With a label HQ based half way up a cliff in deepest North Devon, and an artist roster that includes a Hampshire lad living in Leeds, a crew of Cubans holed up in Hackney, and the hottest new thing to come up out of Leicester since Willie Thorne hung up his cue, new label Shifting Peaks won’t be easy to pin down geographically . And musically it promises to be no less diverse, covering everything from the deeper end of Funky and 2010 Garage to Cuban Hip Hop and dubbed out Beats. Kicking things off in style for the label is Leeds resident Hackman, who’s ‘Pistol in Your Pocket’ tune was one of the highlights of the recent Fabric/Elevator comp. Lead cut ‘Always ‘ employs the vocal talents of newcomer Harper Lake over a bumping UKF/Nu Garage backing that’s both warm and deep, combining proper hooks with easy dancefloor appeal. Fast rising Londoner Brackles then takes the song and straps on a phuture – garage turbo-charger, adding techno textures and slamming beats for a crunching, dynamic rework. An instrumental version of Hackmans’ original works in it’s own right , and to round the package off, the dubheads also get ‘Multicultural’, a deep, percussion driven roller perfect for late night jams and red eyed-headphone excursions alike.

O4H001 Seeking feat Yolanda – Ghettozoid 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. The label is called ‘One4Ho’. The origins of it’s name came from a seminal summer in Berlin, where Sophie Ruston (Ghettozoid) and Mai Harper (label founders) first laid eyes on each other. The name One4Ho incorporates Ghettozoid’s obsession with Miami Bass. Essentially we are ladies that love the 140tempo.
IDJ mag review: Bristol resident Ghettozoid brings in fêted vocalist Yolanda to help launch her One 4 Ho imprint. Moody washes of midrange synth provide an ample background for Yolanda’s stunning vocal spiritual, clockwork garage breaks and thunderous bass thrum adding a dash of urgency to the mix. Crackle house specialist Blue Daisy turns in a sick remix on the flip, dubbing the track hard as he stretches the samples tautly across his canvas – ambient vocal excursions eventually joined by a burrowing acid bassline and Daisy’s trademark squeezed beats.

Lots of people are whispering their names right now, here’s your chance to hear why… Sometimes you can come across a musical project that encapsulates the fun we all have in our lives which then instantly becomes a soundtrack to get you through your daily grind, so welcome to the world of Boe Weaver, where 3D sunglasses are needed just to understand the madness of what is being concocted. As one review of Boe Weaver’s debut so rightly put it “If this LP was thirty-odd years old and the soundtrack to some exploito-hacker movie, then it would be changing hands for £200-plus. However, it’s a new release, which means you don’t have to pay through the nose to land a copy…’ You definitely should Because what Boe Weaver do is far out shit, basically. A lava lamp of sound exploding in your face. A cosmic rearrangement and prolonged derangement of the senses that is totally necessary in an era when 99% of music does anything but that. What happened to wanting to change the world through music? Start a revolution? Healing the karmic wounds of the universe? sick and the needy? It’s right here. We could also maybe point to some disparate contemporary reference points too: Chrome Hoof, Oneida, The Horrors, Dungen, David Holmes, Cherrystones. That type of thing.

New D ‘n’ B Releases


CRIT043EP Noir EP – Rockwell Critical Music 12″ Vinyl x 2
Rockwell is a name on everyone’s lips. As if from nowhere he’s managed to get the whole drum & bass scene and more talking about him earning support from such luminaries as Fabio and Gilles Peterson. The ‘Noir EP’ comes not a moment too soon, a release to truly mark his arrival in electronic music and which looks set to turn even more heads. From the sheer sonic brilliance of the film score-inspired title track ‘Noir’ through to the skeletal break and sparse tendancies of the final ‘Tribe’, Rockwell is unfearing in his quest for dark, brooding experimentation that hasn’t been heard in years in drum & bass. An ambition to re-definine the term deep shines though on ‘Stay Calm’, a track that refreshes with glitchy FX, industrial pads and grounding bass that strikes the fear whilst the collaboration with Zero T ‘Bone Structure’ continues the theme with astounding results. Make no mistake people will double-take on this one.
An extraordinary EP that will appeal to lovers of both electronica and pure drum & bass alike. Just add an arm-chair and headphones for maximum satisfaction.

a Rockwell – Noir
b Rockwell – Stay Calm
c Rockwell Ft. Zero Tolerance – Bone Structure

EXIT019 Wrong Way – Abstract Elements Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
The first release for 2010 on Exit records comes in the form of two tracks by Russian newcomers Abstract Elements, made up of two producers Bop and Diagram. Their tracks caught the attention of label owner dBridge with their seemingly fearless quest for experimentation and have featured heavily in the sets of DJs such as dBridge, Instra:mental, Loxy, ASC and also on the Autonomic podcasts. Both tracks sit just as comfortably at clubs such as FWD as they do in an all out DnB party. “Wrong Way” takes us into a void of sound and space, built around a metronomic radar blip, the track sinks down deep through the uncharted depths of the subsonic bass realms. Attention to detail, intricate use of atmospheric sound effects and devastating low end bass give this track a unique sensation which just cannot be ignored. Repeated listening is required to fully explore the vast soundscape that they have created here. “Abysmal Depth” could be described as a distorted fusion of dub and electronica but also delves into the 4×4 genre.
Once again, their use of constantly transforming effects and mood altering atmospherics give this track the quality of being able to take the listener on a journey and leaves them with an awkward sense of not knowing exactly where they’ve just been. Check out the Fabric Live 50 -dBridge & Instra:mental present Autonomic CD to see just how versatile this track be work in the mix.

FFLP1-2 Demon Remix – 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.

EAR013 Wetwipe Riddim – Ginz & Kool Money Kwame Earwax 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. 2009 saw the world taken by storm as the Bristol born sound of Purple w0w! infiltrated sound systems and radio stations with it’s catchy synth lines and bold approach. Focus so far has mainly been on Joker who ripped up the rule book and laughed hard at it, but a number of the big floor filler productions that helped make his name, such as the anthem ‘Purple City’, were co-produced by the more mysterious Ginz. Exclusively for Earwax Ginz unleashes a plate of bouncing messed up wonky-synth-hopdubstep- purple-whizzle with help on the buttons this time from the even more mysterious Kool Money Kwame. ‘Wetwipe Riddim’ is a Hennessy-hugging monster of a beat, showcasing Ginz’s superb production ethic and musical mastery – it’s both demented and catchy in equal measures! ‘Oreo’ sees further experiments in bendy beats that leaving you on constant catch up, complete with ankle flapping bass and more psychedelic synth work.

3024007 Remixes 2/2 – Martyn 3024 12″ Vinyl
The second half of the Great Lengths Remixes package offers 3 more vividly contrasting interpretations of album tracks .Almost a year on from the release of his debut album “One” and with ‘Saviour of Techno’ plaudits still bouncing off concrete walls, Berghain lynchpin Ben Klock turns in a remix of Is This Insanity that distills everything inspirational about both the club and city he calls home. Spaceape’s cracked vocal is welded to a sort of cavernous piston driven groove while traces of the original’s melody fractured into the briefest of shards fight their way to the surface only to sink back into the percussive smog. Located well outside of the heavily scrutinised UK hype centres, Manchester’s rising star Illum Sphere continues to hone his already distinct sound on the flipside’s Brilliant Orange reworking. A clanking off kilter groove rubs up against an extended mutation of the original melody that pushes the track towards a poignant climax, evoking all the ache of reaching for the stars and landing squarely on one’s face.

Having been a vocalist for the past fourteen years, and a producer for the past six, this year Ben delivers a pair of futuristic, energized dubstep tracks with distinct character. “Flip The Coin” is a dark, head-nodding half stepper that packs a weighty punch, utilizing fat percussive patterns with tribal undertones. Twisting, ghostly soundscapes drift in and out from above, with morphing pulses of subbass underneath. On the flipside, “Inhale” brings dubbed out, future-jungle vibes with irresistible energy and hints of mystical allure.

Finished copies. A co-production with Benga – the brilliantly sparse, bleepy ‘Green Eyes’ – is going to grab people’s attention, but the other three tracks here are easily as good. Sarah “Goldielocks” Akwisombe makes outstanding modernist electro-pop with dark, emotionally intense lyrical themes and a hefty DJ-friendly dubstep wallop, and is without question a talent who is here to stay. The EP is overall inspired by London, underground music scenes – 2step / garage / grime and dubstep, paranoia, relationships and concealed emotions.

A1 Goldielocks – Cold Sweat
A2 Goldielocks – Addict
AA1 Goldielocks – Green Eyes (with Benga)
AA2 Goldielocks – Neon Lights

BRK014 Sugar Coated Lover – Geiom Feat. Marita Berkane Sol 12″ Vinyl
Berkane Sol moves into a new decade with the future soul of ‘Sugar Coated Lover’. Back in ’08 Marita and Geiom blessed the dubstep scene with the certified classic Reminissin’, this time they turn their radar towards the vibrant keys and soca style drumz of UK funky.
Elements of disco, techno and house wrap themselves around Marita’s delicious vocal, with a sweet synthy steel drum melody leading up to the seriously catchy hook. Marita and Geiom take the sounds of house music both old and new and create a sophisticated hybrid that joins the dots between producers like Todd Terry, Luomo and Roska.
On the flip the unstoppable Blunted Robots team of Brackles and Shortstuff take the raw elements off to their workshop, clear some space on the bench and begin to rebuild according to their own confused specifications. They fill the CPU of the new machine with the original data, a DJ EZ set and the best bits of early Search and Destroy – after some extensive experimentation we find them both happily shockin’ out – until Shortstuff realises that most of the vocal is missing and what’s left is severely broken – so they sprinkle on an extra helping of their sweetest arpeggios in the hope that Geiom doesn’t notice.
This 12″ fits perfectly into the creative space that has opened up in UK underground dance music, taking ideas from garage, techno, dub, grime and house and melting them into exhilarating new forms.
It has found favour with all the usual suspects including – Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank (Radio1), Kode 9, Scratcha DVA, Oneman, Alexander Nut (RinseFM) and Untold.

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

Posted 01 October 2009 | By Editor | Categories: news, tracks | 1 Comment

Following in Ramadanman‘s supreme tribal tracks, comes South London production outfit LV. Fresh from two releases on Hyperdub and remixes for Hemlock, the quartet deliver the rootical Don’t Judge featuring vocals from seasoned UK rootsman Errol Bellot, who has worked with King Tubby among others.

On the flip side, Wolverhampton’s Fantastic Mr Fox takes the big tools to the original and refashions an epic remix with a wicked 2 step swing. Nuff said, enjoy!

As big fans of illustration and graphics, over the last seven releases the label has commissioned some truly wonderful art from a slew of talented artists including Remi/Roughe, Uiu and Phil Blake. For 008, London based Mat Pringle was given the chance to design our first 12” sleeve. His wave and bamboo illustration is wicked and is hand printed onto just 500 limited edition sleeves.

New D ‘n’ B CD

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

1 Trei – Innuendo
2 Trei – Shame
3 Trei – Coldfront
4 Trei w/ Southern Soul – Push
5 Trei w/ Thomas Oliver – Lead Me On
6 Trei – No Vacancy
7 Trei & Dose – The Other Part Of Me
8 Trei – F Wave
9 Trei & Teknik – Sleepless
10 Trei & State Of Mind – Thunder Biscuit

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

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

AT005 Pray – Survival Audio Tactics 12″ Vinyl
Survival has been very busy of late, yet still finds time to keep his own imprint Audio Tactics rolling on in fine style.“Pray” is all about the bassline! Sick rhythm flows throughout, as the bass swamps the room. Survival has really carved out a knack of rhythm & bass in a hypnotic way. “Good To See” is a more dubbed out affair. Subtle piano keys and warm strings glide over minimal beats and vocal snippets. Fans of Fabio should check this.

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

a Dub-One – Pressure Of 10,000

Mordant Music drag a second albuMM in earnest from 2009′s ruddy pancreas – this time for choral spores one & all…Baron Mordant presents ‘SyMptoMs’ as a standalone audio bollard in a field of flatly rejected flax…a symptom of itself in many ways ‘SyMptoMs’ taps into the verbal hinterland of deranged solo sessions prised from Cable Hut in Abermawr, an injured hotel room in Bali & the skewed Wood Green triangulation…a dolmen here, a punctured football there…Delta coffee & no signal…these thirteen MoMents cavort in the realm known as the present & are part of an allegory that has yet to coMMence…wrong trees can get barked at for the right reasons…’SyMptoMs’ rides a fetid larynx and the Baron trusts that what initially turned him off eventually turns you ohm…listen to it beside yourself…SingalongaMMax

New Dubstep Releases

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

a I.D. & Skinnz – The Blues
b I.D. & Skinnz – Issues

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

b Giant – Swoosh

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

Mordant Music curse the parquet once again with a further 10″ doppel-lunge from a frothing Nesst…’SyMptoMs (version)’, the title track from the forthcoming albuMM of the same name, is presented here with Baron Mordant simply consigned to hubristic crosstalk…this thunder flash cousin of ‘Hummdrumm’ ebbs & flows off-handedly as if locked in the ear canals searching for a rhythm to cling to… this is club spillage for twitching beachcombers as swathes of aural detritus rumble gaseously at dawn…horizontal rave…’I'm Not Your Mate, Mate’ is not giving you a fag, an ear to bend like Comaneci or a lift home in the boot…the sentiment has been swollen tenfold & its life sucked out vacuum squared o’er the decades…be told, mate…BM

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

BRK013 Von Glooperstien / Bubbles – Hizatron / Geiom Berkane Sol 12″ Vinyl
*Special white vinyl pressing for the first 500 copies only* Part man/part machine Hizatron takes Berkane Sol in a new acidic direction with the outstanding tune that is Von Glooperstein. Atmospheric, refined, techy, funky and deranged are all accurate descriptions of this ever evolving masterclass in gloop. Beautiful digi bells, crisp clicks and clacks and a monster lead line all combine to work even the most demanding dancefloor. This tune will mix with UK Funky just as well as it does with techno and house.
It features on the recent Geiom FACT magazine mix. http://www.sendspace.com/file/yydm34
In a manic attempt to fuse half step, electro booty bass, niche and primates into one coherent whole, Geiom came up with the delicious mongrel known as Bubbles. Wonky synths collide with tuff drum patterns in a tense, restless fashion which peaks with a kind of homage to the Midlands favourite underground genre, Bassline house. There’s a kind of psychedelic terror at the heart of this tune but its way too playful to ever become truly menacing….Both these tunes demonstrate the high standard of musical creativity that is coming out of Nottingham right now, but give no indication of an easy to identify style. Which is just how we like it! All the latest Berkane Sol developments will be showcased at our forthcoming head to head with the Blunted Robots – Fabric/October 9th.

NONPLUS002 Watching You – Instra:mental Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl
Instra:mental present the second release from their Nonplus imprint after the hugely successful Nonplus 001 ‘Wonder Where’ / ‘No Future’. This release consists of two tracks from Instra:mental. Again, the A side contains the vocal talent of frequent collaborator dBridge, and for the B side they switch up the style into what can only be described as Dub Techno. a) Instra:mental ‘Watching You’ stands up to the quality levels set by Nonplus 001 and continues the fusion of original vocals, Detroit influenced chords and their trademark tight percussion. Ice-cold robotic vocals and heart-warming chord stabs will make the hairs on your neck stand on end Listen after listen. This tune is a timeless piece of music that no amount of jargon can justifiably explain. If you like the recent output from these guys then you will love this tune. aa) Instra:mental ‘Tramma’ is a 4/4 offering made of elements from Dub, Techno and DnB but is hard to pigeonhole into any particular genre. For descriptive purposes well call it dub techno. Once again we can hear their influences from all things electronic, and here we have an example of the variance that we expect from Nonplus and a glimpse of the vision that Instra:mental have for the future of this label.

b Instra:mental – Tramma

EXIT016 Melodies feat Mike Knight – Spectrasoul Exit Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Spectrasoul provide their debut single on Exit Records, which consists of two tracks written especially for the label. These two producers have proved their talent time and time again with a string of releases over the past two years and are definitely ones to watch in 2009/10. ‘Melodies’ is a clever combination of melancholic synth samples, used courtesy of legendary minimal electronica producers Isan, featuring the vocal talents of up and coming American RnB singer Mike Knight. An unconventional beat pattern makes this track stand out from the crowd and provides a refreshing break on the dancefloor. ‘Insignia’ comes with similar vibes on the B side, starting off with emotive pads and vocal snippets, dropping with low down sub stabs over another unconventional but highly effective beat. Both tracks have had support on the highly acclaimed autonomic podcasts (www.club-autonomic.com) and are receiving heavy rotation from DJs such as dBridge, Instramental and Dubstep pioneer DJ Skream, which highlights the versatility of these tracks and the potential to cross into Dj sets from different genres.

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

NONPLUS001 Wonder Where / No Future – dBridge / Instra:mental Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl
After arriving back on the scene in 2006 Instra:mental have fast gained a reputation for re-sharpening the cutting edge approach to making music. Taking influence from their love of electronica and incorporating it into a fresh and unorthodox style, they have managed to create a distinctive and inspiring sound. In 2009 they have decided to start their own label in order to give them a focused outlet for their music, and also the music of other artists who they feel are on the same path. Quality, longevity, freedom of expression and nonconformity are some of the ideologies behind their new label, Nonplus+ Records.
a) dBridge ‘Wonder Where’:
‘Wonder Where’ by dBridge is a fine example of how the label means to continue. dBridge is hot off the back of his debut solo album “The Gemini Principle” in which he first gave us glimpses of a talent which he shares with his brother Steve Spacek as a vocalist. Since then he has been busy continuing to lay the foundations of his own respected imprint Exit Records. If his voice sounds familiar, perhaps you have heard the track “These Words” on which he featured on Martyn’s highly regarded debut album “Great Lengths”. Wonder Where is quite unique in the way it is regularly getting played in the sets of DJs from many genres. Drum n bass dj’s such as Marcus Intalex, to soulfull house Dj’s like Benji B, and also Dubstep pioneer DJ Skream has regularly been finishing his sets with it. Dubstep legend Burial has also seen fit to include it in his upcoming DJ Kicks mix. This track is fast becoming an anthem among many different genres and is sure to be featured in many a dj’s sets for many years to come.
aa) Instra:mental ‘No Future’:
Instra:mental have chosen their own track “No Future” which is ironic considering they obviously have a very big future ahead of them. Already licensed to the highly acclaimed Commix Fabriclive.44 this track (and most of their music) manages to resurrect the ghost of early electronic music with the essence of artists such as Model 500 and the legendary Detroit techno movement of the 80s and early 90s. Using original hardware drum machines and synthesizers to create the analogue warmth and groove which was synonymous of those times, they bring elements back to the music which have been somewhat lacking in recent years and laced it with all the benefits of modern music making advancements. This track will be loved and cherished by those who appreciate good music and will play just as well in the comfort of your own home as it would in a packed out dance floor.

New Dubstep Releases

ARGLP02_3 The Incredible Adventures Of Kenzolika & Quetzalcoatl Among The Air Castles Part 3 – Blasta Argon Records 12″ Vinyl
Blasta met Kenzolika, Kyiv’s dubstep princess, in November 2008. It all started with a coincidence – the owls were falling, and they keep falling now. Blasta is a musician based in Vaska, St. Petersburg, Russia. Each tune on the album is filled with pure sweet emotions. Feel the tension in “Your Dub Delay”, a poignant cosmic dubstep anthem with vocals by Blasta. It doesn’t matter if you are drinking the “Black Muscatel” wine, drifting through the clouds inside a “Zeppelin Nacelle”, or just chilling and dancing slowly with beautiful girls inside the “Cosmic Lounge”. “This LP is something that has popped up from nowhere and is to be one of the best dance album’s I’ve heard in years, tracks like ‘Cosmic Lounge’ & ‘Black Muscatel’ are strong power plays from myself in the clubs and have had people singing with joy to the melodies or clenching their hearts with emotion – sumthing you don’t see in the clubs these days anymore due to the lack of good music played by the top DJs. Other tempo’s on the album shows the talent that Blasta really has with music making…….

“Blasta reconcilie le dubstep et la soul music. Un retour aux sources efficace!” – Von D
Blasta gives birth to a brand new sound, true future music. Music that is cooked from the most delicious rave, dub and jazz flavors ever created. This album gives you a complete feeling of tenderness and love, taken from the winter and fitting perfectly into the early spring.

BRK012 Cave Rave – Geiom & Spamchop Berkane Sol 12″ Vinyl
Geiom + Spamchop find themselves in a distant mysterious land ravaged by sub zero temperatures. Across the hills they can hear faint echoes of deep bass..Crunching through the snow towards the source they discover a party in a massive cave full of odd rock formations and sparkling crystals. The ravers seem slightly unhinged but happy, dancing to strange future music that reminds our explorers of uk garage without the bling…Spamchop records some of it into his phone for future analysis – when the pair get back to the studio ‘Cave Rave’ is the result. After the beach jam which spawned ‘Eyl Booty’ (brk011) Geiom is making preparations to leave when one of the pirates shows him a video camera with footage of their most ambitious raid – the capture of the Sirius Star oil tanker – Geiom likes the idea of this ramshackle bunch going head to head with the greedy oil barons. He agrees to make the pirates something they can pump out while they make their way across the Indian Ocean – ‘give us something with a lot of bass – we kitted out our speedboats with some tasty subwoofers’ is the request. Geiom also includes some audio from the footage for good measure. ‘Sirius Star’ is going to be rocking boats, cars and raves everywhere for some time to come…

DP030 King Pin – The Others Dub Police Records 12″ Vinyl
Finished Copy Promos. Following on from the huge success of the recent Subscape release on Dub Police, The Others are back with a bang with an ultra-wobble big-hitter ‘King Pin’. This sees their signature sound developing and morphing into an even bigger relentless weapon. In the same way that the Subscape release was arranged, the flip of this release sees The Others on a much lighter tip incorporating old school drum & bass vibes and possibly highlighting a softer sensitive side to the boys we all assumed were premier league hit-men.

ROGUE STATE – LOGICAL REGRESSION

Hailing from Germany and part of the Dutty Dubs crew, Twisted is starting to make real impact on the international scene. The super slick mixdown is what first attracted us to him but it was this phenomenally heavy weight track that made us decide to release Twisted. Bass face time!

DP009 Acton Dread – Rusko Dub Police Records 12″ Vinyl
Repressed due to Demand! The most talked about producer of the moment returns for more dub wise dubstep, Rusko brings the vibes on his 2nd dub police outing The most talked about producer of the moment returns for more dub wise dubstep. The first “acton dread“, inspired by rusko’s London borough, kicks off with a summertime digi-dub bounce. hypnotic flutes and wailing vocals give way to a pulsing sub bass, reggae shuffles and catchy themes, showcasing the dub-style production that’s made Rusko a favourite of djs like skream and radio 1’s rob da bank. Listen carefully for London underground announcements lurking in the background of the tune! Flipping over we see rusko on remix duties for local boy Caspa. This toung in cheek refix sees rusko adding his trademark trance sytnths and bumpy sub bass to the lilting Japanese flute melodies, space age effects and jungle percussion. “Would you like to play your flute?”!! A track that will be filling dancfloors for years to come.

DP020 Transaction – Sub Scape Dub Police Records 12″ Vinyl
Repressed due to Demand! Badman: New signing SubScape steps up to the now privileged rotor of Dub Police, with two bad boy cuts that have been destroying dance floors for a while now. First up is Badman which has received massive big support from Caspa, The Scratch Perverts, Rusko, Reso and The Others to name a few. A simple intro with hints of devastating bass being teased in and out before the drop comes and some serious bass action that is guaranteed to get any floor moving. Transaction: Again this tune is not for the faint hearted, and is likely to rip up any dance floor. Rip roaring bass that will tear your head off and shit down your neck, and beats so tuff they should come with a health warning. With more releases lined up for Dub Police and gaining support from key players in and from outside the scene; this guy is one to watch for sure.

Repressed due to demand.Caspa & Rusko – Soulful Geeza: Kicking off the next chapter in the LTT series is this deep track Caspa & Rusko and isn’t’ what you would quite expect from these two, whose tracks are usually all out dance floor dominators. Warm pads, trance esq. synths, and an steppy beats really set this one apart from the typical sound these two are so well known for. What better way to kick things off? Unitz – Wait A Minute: Things couldn’t get more different on the flip, as Dub Police’s very own boy wonder Unitz steps up with this sickening track. Fans of his first release (The Drop) will be digging this as the synth twists and bends like a slinky, and a crisp powerful bass and big beats carries the whole track. Proper sick stuff.

New D ‘n’ B Releases

LIGHTLESSLP002 Homefree – Fanu Lightless Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 3
Junglist. Samplist. Breakbeat aficionado. Passionate DJ. Avid music lover. Those are some of the descriptions that fit Fanu. While living in the rather dark and cold North of Finland, he got into the jungle thing in the mid-nineties – soon after hearing some electronic music during the earlier years of the decade. Around that time, he also started experimenting with electronic music and sampling for the first time. “I lived in a small countryside town, where I didn’t really have anything better to do. My friends exposed me to some early electronic stuff and I was blown away immediately. Soon I found myself trying to emulate the tracks I heard, sampling, layering and combining all kinds of different sounds.” But it wasn’t until he heard jungle that he knew there’d be no turning back: The long awaited second album by Finlands Fanu. Be sure to check out what the breaks maestro has been cooking up in the studio!

BS1017 Cienfuegos – Davide Carbone BS1 12″ Vinyl
‘Cienfuegos’: One hundred _fires in Spanish, and also one of the coolest Cuban cities. Parallels between the word and the track are hard to find, although if somewhere was burning down, the apocalyptic residue would sound something like this. ‘Deep, deep, deep’ is how some of the scenes most eulogised producers have called it. The oldest of pure analogue bass shaped using the newest techniques means this tune stands apart. Like the old days. Listen to it loud. ‘Radionuclide’ is more fun than you bargained for. Proper cutting 70‘s layered bass, over some original lead sound design and you have a bouncer that forces a smile on even those six feet under. The vocal stabs give it character and de_nition and the beats drive it to unrecognisable speeds. Musical, warm and bangin’. BS1 017 – The place to be.

NZ009 Timeslip – Cern Samurai Music 12″ Vinyl

Cern has spent the last few years blazing a trail of intricate tech flavoured funk on labels like Critical, Renegade Hardware, Symptom, Shady Brain, Fokuz and is currently working on a future project for Concord Dawns’ Uprising label. ‘Timeslip’ treats the tech step template like a jagged worn jigsaw, taking it’s pieces, sharpening them into potent weaponry and forcing them into new sequences. Shuddering sliding rhythms pound their ingenious funk with the soaring Reese in the second breakdown never failing to draw cheers of delight from appreciative dancefloors. ‘Eastern Gates’ is a subtle rolling slice of funk, laden with a gorgeous eastern female vocal that saunters over what has become a trademark tech groove from Mr Cern. DJ Support from DJ Hype, D Bridge, State Of Mind, Concord Dawn, and many more.

ACRE012 Fall – Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox Black Acre Records 12″ Vinyl
Clocking in here for the first time since their warmly received debut on Hemlock, Rich Reason & Fantastic Mr Fox jerk the Black Acre steering wheel sharply left into a murky new trajectory. Fall, an ode to the autumnal onset features the lush sound textures that have become the Manc super team’s calling card. Kicking off as a horn blasting bass-lead 130 skanker, Fall proceeds to hoodwink the listener with haunted soul and anomalous artefacts buried deep in the sampledelic mist. A thin line is deftly navigated in combining the muscular low-end with an enriching sound palate, stimulating both body and synapse. Lo-Fi-Ve, walks a longer more arduous path, masquerading initially as a sinuous dose of future garage, the clipped snares and 808 boom will have you on your feet quicker than the ice cream truck. Ever the curve ball pitchers, a Hitchcockian twist abruptly takes us into the obscure. Distant horns and warping bass are bathed in the UV glare of bubbling operatic synth-work climaxing in a cascade of citric sound. Support: Jamie Vex’d, Bobby Friction, TRG, Untold, Geiom, DJ Yoda, Pangaea, Kid Kameleon. Reviews: DJ, Mixmag, Wire, IDJ

HDB022 Wind It Up – Mark Pritchard Ft. Om’mas Keith HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Mark Pritchard is a highly respected electronic artist whose extensive pedigree of solo and joint productions includes names such as Harmonic 313, Global Communication, Reload, Jedi Knights and Link. Om’mas Keith is a member of the cosmically sleazy Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Their inspired collaboration on ‘Wind It Up’ took shape in mid 2008 and is finally being released on Hyperdub after building a strong following on dubplate, igniting audiences on dancefloors across the planet. ‘Wind It Up’ synthesises some of Hyperdub’s recent tricks into a bubbling compound of Mark’s pressurised electrofunk, and the futuristic off-beat synth-hop shuffle of Om’mas, with the essential catalysing X element of the Sa- Ra don’s gravel-voiced lyrics. In high DJ demand since the start of the year, ‘Wind It Up’ is a fun and forward-looking dose of transatlantic synergy that’s as unique as it is danceable. Reception to the tune in clubs worldwide has been explosive, and it’s already firmly established as an anthem at 1 Xtra DJ Benji B’s hype Deviation nights. Add in the flipside Freak Mix, which raises echoes of Goblin and John Carpenter’s tingling synthetic atmospherics, plus an instrumental rub, and the result is a hugely anticipated release.

FD013 Ritam Bluz – Joxaren Flogsta Danshall 7″ Vinyl
Mars Attacks on part 2 of this week’s Skweee barrage, with haunting theramin tones, sinuous byte smashing basslines and more than a hind of that ol boom bap, Joxaren brings sci-fi grooves back to the floor. On the flip the spirit of Rick James is channelled through cheap drum machines and tron house bag sythns, culminating in a warped take on 80’s funk. Support: Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank and Kode 9.
