SUBTLE003CD 2nd Rate 2xCD Version – Polska Subtle Audio CD x 2
Irish producer Garth McNamee aka Polska is not your average studio dweller in 21st century Drum & Bass. It’s obvious from those he cites as being his biggest inspirations within the scene – Paradox, Seiji and 4-Hero. His musical digest has always been wide and his productions have also been inspired by the jazz compositions of people like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock and the ambient stylings of Boards Of Canada. “2nd Rate” is a reference to how these outside influences are transposed into the realm of D&B and given a new life. CD1 holds a varied collection of D&B from the inspiring atmospherics of “Good Day” to the jazz band breakbeat of the title track “2nd Rate” and from the dark electronic groove of “Dumster” to the organic sounds of “Reindevo”. Over on CD2 the tempo drops but the diversity is just as evident. “Compatible” and “2 Reflex” raise the bpm count and inject energy and variety to the proceedings. All in all, this is an epic journey – taking in 20 tracks, a myriad of tempos and influences a wide range of instrumentation.

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

New D&B Promos
EXIT023 Weatherman / Shanty – Digital Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. This golden era heavyweight is still in the game and as strong as ever. Having produced some of the finest tracks of the Drum n Bass golden era and recorded for labels including Metalheadz, Photek productions, Reinforced and Phantom audio to name a few, he’s still at it and in fine form once again. Sticking to his guns and keeping his original bass heavy dub style, he’s rolled out two tracks in the same vein as some of his classics such as Gateman and Deadline. If you don’t know about Digital yet then its time to get to know. If you do then know your in for a treat. ‘Weatherman’ comes with the ridiculously fat sub bass that Digital is renowned for, topped with a half time step and shuffling hats and shakers to add pace its not far off being an all out dub track. Classic jungle pads and delayed dub vocals pay homage to days gone by and prove that this music, when done properly can still smash up a club without all the mid range madness that is more common in this day and age. Digital teams up with Scottish Producer Morphy on the b-side and again comes with the heavyweight bass, half time step and dub vibes but this track has a more hypnotic and entrancing quality to it. Dub stabs and laid back melodies wind around the bass like a snake being charmed out of its box. All in all the perfect partner to the a-side and completes the 12” as yet another slice of history is made by this legend.

AA SIDE: SKITTY – BRIX 81 ‘brix81’ has a more old skool jungle feel from the intro, from there a chanting vocal hook comes in to take you to the break down then steel toe capped amens pave the way for heavy low freq bass that will shake the FOUNDATIONS.

PIPS012 Untitled / Digest – Joe Apple Pips 12″ Vinyl
With the success of our last releases getting props and plays from DJs as diverse as Erol Alkan, DJ T, Martyn, Deetron, & Rob Da Bank we are really excited to present our next slice of futuristic funk for your ears and booty from the extremely talented Joe. With his debut, the awesome ‘Grimelight’, being released on Hessle Audio, Joe is part of a loose group of likeminded and future-thinking producers & DJs that includes Hessle Audio’s Ramadanman, Ben UFO, & Pangaea, and Untold & James Blake. Whilst they all have very individual sounds, they share a vision of dubstep, uk funky, techno & house influenced beats that seem to defy genre.
The A-side ‘Untitled’ is a huge stepping wad of funk, bringing to mind 2-step, early Skream & Benga, even stripped down grime classics like Pulse X, but with a truly contemporary twist. This tune drops hard, and has been a secret weapon of Appleblim’s for some time now – he was pleasantly surprised to see ravers of all ages go mad to it! The flip sees Joe’s more experimental leanings come out on ‘Digest’, but he never forgets the groove and funk. With rolling percussion, steppy sub bass and shiny analogue synth stabs cutting through, it seems to us like a mixture of Mala from Digital Mystikz and Theo Parrish! High praise indeed…
DJ/Radio support coming from Mary Anne Hobbs (BBC Radio 1), Modeselektor, Peverelist, Rob Da Bank (Radio 1/Bestival), Paul Woolford, Ramadanman, Brackles, Appleblim & many more.

The flip side doesn’t take any prisoners either, but this time it’s the turn of the man who spends way too much time hanging around outside supermarkets; Trolley Snatcha. Featured on the Scion A/V & Dub Police CD, ‘Slow Down’ will already be well known by a lot of you eager dubhunters out there with it’s relentless basslines, stomping beats and cheeky Middle Eastern melodies. All in all this is a single you can’t afford to pass on – an essential slab of plastic from Dub Police once again

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

HDB036 Bellion – Ill Blu HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
This is the debut release on Hyperdub for north London’s Ill Blu, one of Funky’s most celebrated and promising production duos, who since forming in 2008 have had a string of underground hits as well as recently putting remixes for the likes of Cheryl Cole and Hot Chip under their belts. On side A, ‘Bellion’ is a great example of Funky at it’s most effectively simple and maximalist. It’s memorable, clear, bell-like melody is reflected in the sub bass line and heavy mid range chords while the percussive drums add to the intensity making the whole track inescapably infectious. In contrast, B-side ‘Dragon Pop’s relentless lattice of congas, snares, deep bass drum and percussion seems minimal, but at the same time there is no space for melody within the tracks construction, it’s just that intense. The already big interest in Ill blu is set to reach far wider next week with the release of Kode9’s DJ Kicks album, on which they are included.

NL006 Sphere Of Influence / Sentiment – Stingray313 Naked Lunch 10″ Vinyl
Limited finished copies. Throughout a recording career spanning almost two decades, DJ Stingray aka. Sherard Ingram a.k.a. Urban Tribe has consistently avoided the mainstream to create a musical world of his own. Responsible for the early techno classic “Covert Action” on Retroactive (reissued on Planet E), Ingram was joined by Carl Craig, Anthony Shakir and Kenny Dixon jr. (Moodymann) for Urban Tribe s debut album “The collapse of modern culture” on Mo Wax and their latest project “Program 1-12″ released on Kenny Dixon Jrs label Mahogani Music and The recent “Loyal Opposition” releases on Planet E. Touring as Drexciya s official assault DJ, Stingray collaborated with James Stinson for the “Other People Place ft. Mystic Tribe a.i.” project on Clone in 2002. His two recent albums (“Authorized Clinical Trials” and “Acceptable Side Effects”) and singles for Rephlex have remained true to their drexciyan descent , not through imitation but through remorseless innovation in electro aesthetics.

FRJ007 Frijsfo Beats Volume 2 – Various Frijsfo Beats 12″ Vinyl
Limited finished copies. ‘Frijsfo Beats Volume 2′ is the second various-artists EP from the eponymous label, marking a fruitful two years in existence. Promise was recognised from the start in the pages of The Wire magazine among other places. Since then, support for Frijsfo’s open-minded aesthetic has grown, with FACT magazine, Boomkat and DJs such as Ben UFO, Pangaea and Tomb Crew getting behind vinyl releases from Sully, Ed DMX, Point B and Kuoyah. The EP opens with a first for the label in a contribution from Geiom, responsible for the Berkane Sol label, as well as material for the likes of Skull Disco, Deep Medi and Planet Mu. Here he irresistibly reworks the lead track from Kuoyah’s recent EP, raising a sweat with a stepping drum track and eking out key changes to expertly tighten up the cinematic drift of the original. Sully is a regular on the roster – championed by everyone from Dusk + Blackdown to Sinden – and he appears on ‘Volume 2′ with ‘Saviour’. Originally distributed as a free download, here the track receives the properly mastered vinyl cut it deserves, maximising the effect of an intense bass exorcism in classic 2003 style. His unique talent for bewitching future 2-step beats is also in full effect, allied to trademark ricocheting samples and a glowing chord progression. Point B continues to unearth hidden connections between Drexciya’s militant funk and the rhythmic flex of 2-step garage. If his gift for rewiring disparate conventions seems to create knotty musical puzzles at first, as with his previous work for Frijsfo – not to mention diverse releases on Combat, SCSI-AV and Orson – it always makes complete sense by the end. Rising Nottingham-via-Bristol producer Sclist ties up a few threads with a remix of a cut from ‘Frijsfo Beats Volume 1′. His version of Lewis Hunter’s ‘Cut From the Wreckage’ was previously included on his digital EP for Frijsfo, which followed a stand-out release for Whistla’s L2S Recordings. Surgically enhanced breakbeats and trademark mechanised glitches take things into angular, suspensefully paced territory in suitably unique fashion.

RWINA008 My Vitamin Pillbox Nikes / The Love – Noah D Rwina Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. The eighth release of the infamous Rwina Records is brought to you by Noah Dickinson, better known as Noah D, or perhaps Noah Deezy if he happened to have a Paul Wall grill in his mouth. His 2009 megahit “Seeeriousss” slammed almost every imaginable chart all over the world and established as an all-around talented and respected producer, covering the whole spectrum of sounds from food for thought to dancefloor smashers. This time, the bass music legend from Portland (USA) delivers two deeper edged cuts spilling over with street-smart bass swagger, a bit-for-bit perfect match with the type of music that Rwina has been pushing lately. On the A-side, “My Vitamin Pillbox Nikes” is an arresting combination of gully sounds from the block and forward thinking programming that’ll tickle your brain each and every time you put this one on. The subs are one of a kind and the g-funk Synth line expertly recalls the West-Side Connection glory days: bow down! On the flip, “The Love” dispatches a tender message straight from the heart, contrasted with a rough melody and harsh drums that’ll make you question what sort of undertones lie beneath this tune. All things said and done, Noah D delivers a unique and fresh release that’s a must for the deeper heads out there or the party-hardy jocks that want to spice up their sets without losing the impact.

HENCH019 Herbert / Collins – Giant Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Giant – composed of Enei, Ekta and Nersa – have been transmitting soundwaves of pure badness from the heart of St Petersburg for the last couple of years now. Providing their dark Russian vibes for the HENCH imprint, this trio should be considered one of the dubstep scene’s quickest rising stars. Their debut 12” on the label, ‘Drumstick’ and ‘Swoosh’, was one of 2009′s biggest selling releases and instantly framed their reputation as bringing club-led, off the wall, energetic music to all who listen. Here they bring us two fresh yet familiar tracks to give us yet more reason to be keeping an eye out for Giant in 2010. Sit back and enjoy. We dare you to sit still to these!!! A. HERBERT Drawing for a fat and crunchy intro, it’s not long before Giant get the subbass shaking the ground beneath your very feet. ‘Herbert’ brings a jaw-breaking bassline, yet remains funky and progressive throughout. Squeaky synth stabs blend between the forward-rolling arpeggio riffs to create a devastatingly fluid destroyer. Much like their notorious debut Hench track, ‘Drumstick’, ‘Herbert’ manages perfectly to pull off the balance between a thumping, yet dancefloor-friendly, release. AA. COLLINS BOOSTER Multi-layered rave vocals, fantasy-style looped riff and squelchy bassline accelerate ‘Collins Booster’ from 0-100 mph within moments. Maintaining their light sound, Giant provide a dubby and fast-paced killer that takes all who listen up to the very heights before dropping them into some serious dutty-damage. Don’t underestimate what this will do in the rave – this drop is golden!
