DARKESTRALEX001 One Man Jettison/Boundary Part 1 (Afterthought) // Decorum – Sabre Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl
LIMITED EDITION 500 copies on Black vinyl, untreated black reverse board with overprinted logo. Sabre has built a name for a certain depth in his productions, and here forces the creation of a new project for Darkestral (Excursions) which came into being on hearing this cinematic trio of pieces. Falling into musically evocative areas such as soundtrack composition, the more minimal region of dubstep and future drum & bass, Sabre here gives vent to his more thoughtful, isolationist side, where constraints have been thrown out in favour of musical freedom and the use of naturalistic instrumentation, beautiful cellos and strings perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being on a lone drift in outer space, with a certain chilled air wrapping all three pieces.
Darkestral Excursions has been brought into existence to display a series of aural ventures into the farther reaches of the beat spectrum, an edge of universe collection of anti-gravity constructs for the adventurous inner-space traveller Selected as first pilot on this mission, the cinematic compositions of Sabre, already known for a sense of spacial definition but here freed of dancefloor constraint and able to run free with the more esoteric perspective often contained in his productions ‘One Man Jettison’ in title and sound design called for the creation of the latest Darkestral project, a particular home at the front of the mothership, a capsule prepared to journey to the outer reaches, solitary and mournful, encapsulated by the strings and feeling that an intrepid journey into the unknown was upon us all, that moves into a feeling of readiness to see the mission through. ‘Boundary pt.1 (afterthought)’ follows as an epilogue and a prologue to a fantastical new horizon, textured and psychedelic, beatless and airy… ‘Decorum’ – strings and a glowing halo at the end of worlds introduces a muted brass and lush, though exploratory off-step beat as the touchdown on a planets surface is described in a sense of wonderment.

New Dubstep Releases

RUNTIMELP001 Messages from the Void – Elemental Runtime Records 12″ Vinyl x 3
Elemental’s imminent debut LP “Messages from the Void” is a collection of work from the last four years, spanning a range of styles, made using a combination of new and old technologies, including Elemental’s beloved modular synthesizer. He is proud to be able to present it to the world – a favour returned for all of the amazing music that has touched him throughout his years as a music listener and raver. Elemental’s fresh take on the dubstep sound has got both scene stalwarts and eclectic tastemakers singing his praises. Blending components of acid house, Detroit techno, ‘golden age’ drum & bass, vintage dubwise and African rhythm, his sound is rich in texture and musical heritage, yet remains eminently danceable. The North London based producer – Adam Wilson to his friends – started dabbling with production in 1994 with a Roland D5 and Atari ST while he was still at school. Soon after he invested in an Akai S2000 sampler, bought a PC, and the rest, as they say, is history. In the nineties he predominantly focused on making drum and bass and experimental electronica, eventually putting out his first drum and bass release as a white label off his own back. A few years later, together with schoolmate Dario Swade, they formed the breakbeat garage duo Elemental & 3D, releasing on their own label Runtime Records in 2002. A couple of years later after some time abroad, Elemental caught the likes of Search & Destroy on Rinse FM and instantly found the sound he had been looking for: dark, heavy, syncopated beats and bass. Since 2004, Elemental has been focused on bringing his newly developed sound to the masses. Combining dubbed out dirty bass lines with hypnotising rhythms, he has released on labels such as Destructive, Hotflush, Pitch Black, Halo Beats, and his own imprint Runtime, with his seminal track “Soulfire” one of the highlights on Tayo’s Fabriclive mix CD. He was officially the first person to do a live dubstep performance, mixing up and dubbing components of his productions using Ableton Live to rapturous audiences across the world: no set is ever the same twice.

IBR004 Deixa – Octa Push Iberian 12″ Vinyl
Lisbon-based Octa Push are the newest recruits on the Iberian label and here they come up with the goods on this very distinctive international flavoured 3-tracker – following their debut vinyl release on Soul Jazz Records, Stepper’s Delight 2 compilation. Having blown up the Red Bull Stage at this year’s Sonar in Barcelona and wowed people at Fabric and the Glade Festival with their unique flow; which sees them combine the Portuguese and African sound spliced with elements of UK Garage, Dancehall and Techno. Both “Deixa” with Toni Clean, resident in Portugal and from the Cabo Verde Isles, and “Baila Mundo”, with the legendery MC Zulu and his distinctive randomised dance hall cadence, show Octa Push as accomplished producers – having already remixed the likes of Buraka Som Sistema, Debruit, Mochipet and Dj Znobia, to name a few – and skilled at using original vocals over their bass line driving funky beats; whilst “Dubshh” is a marvellous bustling and punchy instrumental rub perfectly illustrating their bass and groove style. All three tunes are sure players and seem destined to bring the Portuguese style to a growing fan base and providing Iberian with yet another non-UK produced bass continuum vibe. DJ support from, TRG, Shackleton, Ruckspin, I.D., Bok Bok, Kanji Kinetic, Bunzer0, Pirate Soundsystem, DJ Deville, Subeena, Smutlee, Untold, Kid Kameleon, Helixir, RSD, SiBegg.

PSQ001 Small Hours – Asusu Project Squared 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. A Techno and Dubstep label, formed mid 2009. Project Squared aims to release 12” vinyl and download projects that are dance floor focused, that test new ground and that have depth as well as impact. We release music that covers the space between Techno and Dubstep as well as music that stays more firmly within those two genres. Created as a sub-label of Project Mooncircle due to a change in taste from one of the co-ordinators of that label, we were amazed to find two artists (Asusu and Furesshu) that were not signed such was the quality of their music. Still in early stages, the label aims to keep releasing high quality dance music, to gather more artists and to change and evolve as styles change and evolve… Most importantly as our own tastes change and evolve. Project Squared is a sub-label of Project Mooncircle and is affiliated with HHV.de. The label is co-run by Paul Cooper and Gordon Gieseking. Artwork and design is by Gordon Gieseking. Asusu – Now a dubstep producer with his sound tied to the deeper side of things, Asusu has moved from roots in hip hop and trip hop through to garage, dubstep and dub techno. Recently he has received radio play from various DJ’s on Sub FM, Dubstep FM and Reload Radio, and DJ’s himself (dubstep, garage & techno) mainly in Bath and Bristol. His tracks have received accolades in Mixmag and ATM (L.V. and XI’s top ten charts). He currently holds a residency at Rocksteady, Bath’s first monthly dubstep night, and also regularly co-hosts a show on Sub.fm alongside Trigga.

HENCH012 Ironhide / Slaughtered – Lost Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Born and bred in Croydon, 19-year old Justin Cantor, a.k.a Lost, is the latest addition to the acclaimed HENCH crew. Somewhat of a child prodigy, Justin started DJ-ing at an early age, and got his first set of decks aged 12. It was not long before Justin’s attention was caught by the burgeoning dubstep movement; inspired by the sounds of Skream and Digital Mystikz’s, he turned his hand to dubstep production early in 2008. Soon after, his debut release came out on Hatcha & N-Type’s ‘Croydon Dubheads’ EP. He recently was named alongside Emalkay and 16 Bit as one to watch in Radio 1xtra’s ‘Future Sound of Dubstep’. We’re proud to present Lost’s debut release on the Hench imprint and are sure that you’ll enjoy it.
A. IRONHIDE – Lost creates a seriously atmospheric mood from the start in Ironhide, building to a subtle drop of one mean reverbed wobbly bassline. A real creeper of a tune, the open hi-hat progresses throughout, giving way to a double time feel that’ll keep heads nodding. This is one serious weapon for your bag!
AA. SLAUGHTERED – Flip over for another bass-led rhythm, from Lost. Pushing a different tone from the A side (yet no less menacing), ‘Slaughtered’ immediately surrounds you with its rolling filtered wobble. This is one futuristic sounding bass riff. An echoey drum loop helps create an ambience and suspense to this track. With such a distinct vibe, you’re guaranteed to have the crowd putting their screwface’s on when this gets dropped.

RED001 Azure / Dwell – Jus Wan Pushing Red 12″ Vinyl
Set up in 2009 by Heath Looney[EHL]. Pushing Red was established to blur the lines of dubstep & techno and inject the scene with something different! Carefully selecting artists we feel can bring a new flavour to the sound and have the same ethos we have! Coming off outstanding releases on Applepips, Naked Lunch & Tube10, Justin Shields (aka Jus Wan) has agreed to grace us with a release and we love him for it! The labels first release sees Jus Wan taking things adventurous and deep!
A – Azure starts off with warm crackles and melodies before it launches into a steppy, shuffled monster! Gorgeous synths and melodies ride of top creating a uplifting vibe while the deep bass and subs propel the track way down!
AA – On the flip we see things go a more electronic feel reminiscent of a detroit flavour. Once again, punchy drums & pulsating bass keep the momentum going while analogue effects and bleeps sit perfectly on top!
DJ SUPPORT: Untold, F, DJG, 2562, Joe Nice, DJ Flight

Operating out of the same stable as Tectonic, Kapsize, Earwax and Caravan, Multiverse brings you a new label, Build, hitting the exciting space where Future Garage, Dubstep, UK Funky and all things Bass intersect. Headed up by renowned bass-music ambassador Baobinga, known for his massive releases on Soul Jazz (with Tayo & Spyda) and Trouble & Bass (with Detroit’s DJ Nasty), as well as his wide-ranging DJ sets across the globe (including an appearance at Fabric’s 10th Birthday this October), the first release on Build sees Baobinga joined by regular partner in crime I.D. (Boka, Mata-Syn, Cool & Deadly). Tongue Riddim takes elements of Kuduru, percussive Dubstep and junglistic sub-bass pressure and combines them into a tightly-wound slice of dancefloor propulsion.On the flip, Roska – one of the main players in the UK Funky scene and a core DJ on Rinse FM – takes the tempo down but retains the sense of rhythmic intensity, rolling trademark tough Roska drums over a warm, yet menacing, bassline. Hypnotic without ever losing impact, the remix has already become a staple in his Rinse show.

SCULT003 Swoop / Funk Me Hard – Sleeper Cell & Maztek Subculture 12″ Vinyl
Usually when we think of Italy we think of designer labels, opera, fast cars, fine art and fine foods. Italian based Subculture Records however are looking to add firin’ drum & bass to that list as they present their third release from label owner Maztek and UK producers Sleeper Cell. Batton down the hatches, things are about to get rowdy! Sci-fi sounds capes are rife as Sleeper Cell and Maztek team up for ‘Swoop’ to open up Scult003 with its rich textured break, eerie pads and industrial fx. After a tense dropout it’s time to move out as the super-sick bass rocks into the mix along with the rugged beats to provide a great example of the neurofunk sound. Fans of Noisia, Break and the like will lap this one up. Then Maztek goes it alone for ‘Funk Me Hard’, another excursion into the dark twisted world of techy d&b but with as the name suggests, a little more funk. Absolute carnage is what this one causes on the drop of filthy bass, warped vox and yet more production wizardry. Crank it up! DJ support so far from Ed Rush, State Of Mind, Chris Renegade, Optiv, Masheen, Axiom and more.

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

Coming with a fresh take on the dubstep sound with the debut release on his new label If Symptoms Persist… Having hosted his successful radio show on Sub M for four years, this first release represents the fruitful hookup that have come from the how. With the best of musical and vocal talent passing through, the show has become a watchword for keeping up on the developments in the Bristol sound. Shadz is one of the many talented vocalists to have guested on the show, and before long Wedge invited him into the studio to collaborate. The result is a perfect combination of bass weight beats and soulful songwriting. Shadz uses his experience singing with many different projects (Joker – Keep your eye on the ball, Gemmy ‘The Croft” Seezy -Whatever the weather, TC – Untitled, Distorted Minds – Otherside) to great effect and comes up with an infectious lyric with a yearning, searching theme that suits Wedges deep bass pressure perfectly. ‘Running Away’ join the long line of great vocal tun to come out of Bristol, from Smith & Mighty, Tricky, & Portishead to Reprazent & Ben Westbeech. Running Away – Guido Remix On the flip, rising talent Guido (one of the Purple Three along with Joker and Gemmy) turns in a remix that sums up the excitement surrounding these producers. R&B, grime, & dubstep are thrown into the mix. a rinsing b line mixes with Guido’s trademark or he orchestration & musicality. Two prime examples of why people are looking to Bristol for fresh take of the Dubstep / GrimeGoodnessKnowsWhat sound With DJ’s as diverse as Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Mr Jm (1Xtra), The Foreign Beggars (Dented Record ), Footloose (1Xtra), Starkey (Planet Mu), and N-Type (Rinse FM) supporting this release, things are looking great for this new label.

The classic TRG release. repressed and Re-released. Fresh from releasing killer plates on Hessle Audio, Subway and Audio Freakz, Romania’s TRG touches down on Immerse to deliver this highly-accomplished 12”. First up is Time is Now, kicking off with samples of dystopian android speech mixed up with a simple flute lick that gives no warning of the impending carnage! Snipped up breaks collide with whiplash-inducing bass action and shuddering subs to make a guaranteed mess of any dancefloor. Flipside, TRG gets more reflective with They Know, as wistful chords drift across the intro like echoes of some long-forgotten rave, before dropping into a post-UKG boom-bass workout. Subs bulge beneath the broken 2-step riddim and occasional warping midline, building nicely towards the killer switchups on the second drop.

In collaboration with London’s Sigha, ‘Seperation’ is a pounding atmospheric thumper, silken threads of sound woven around pulsing beats and surgical percussion,expertly designed and constructed to create perpetual forward motion. ‘Lesser People’ is somewhat harder – crisp drums, ticking hats and solid bass drones flying past at supersonic speed as insane tech FX rip the veryair asunder. Accomplished and advanced. 9/10 [recommended] [DJ ThinKing, IDJ issue 117]

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

New UK Funky Promos

BUILD001 Tongue Riddim – Baobinga & I.D Build 12″ Vinyl
Finish copies. Operating out of the same stable as Tectonic, Kapsize, Earwax and Caravan, Multiverse brings you a new label, Build, hitting the exciting space where Future Garage, Dubstep, UK Funky and all things Bass intersect. Headed up by renowned bassmusic ambassador Baobinga, known for his massive releases on Soul Jazz (with Tayo & Spyda) and Trouble & Bass (with Detroit’s DJ Nasty), as well as his wide-ranging DJ sets across the globe (including an appearance at Fabric’s 10th Birthday this October), the first release on Build sees Baobinga joined by regular partner in crime I.D. (Boka, Mata-Syn, Cool & Deadly). Tongue Riddim takes elements of Kuduru, percussive Dubstep and junglistic sub-bass pressure and combines them into a tightly-wound slice of dancefloor propulsion.On the flip, Roska – one of the main players in the UK Funky scene and a core DJ on Rinse FM – takes the tempo down but retains the sense of rhythmic intensity, rolling trademark tough Roska drums over a warm, yet menacing, bassline. Hypnotic without ever losing impact, the remix has already become a staple in his Rinse show. Early DJ support comes from Sinden, Martyn, Starkey, Buraka Som Sistema, Scratcha DVA, TRG, Shortstuff & Brackles and more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Southside Dubstars come out of nowhere once again with a fresh batch of tunes from some heavyweight artists, Skream makes his return with the relatively unheard ‘Just Being Me’ which is a melodic, funky yet melancholic number reminiscent of earlier works like the legendary ‘Dutch Flowers’. ‘Mudera’ turns up the heat a little, as you’d expect from the title it’s the Skream wobble in full effect, muderation on this one, screwface business, big tuuuuuune! Act quickly to ensure you get a copy.

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.
