BMT006 – Blu Mar Ten – Problem Child / Sweet Little Supernova – 12″ Vinyl
Blu Mar Ten release the second single from their much-anticipated new album project ‘Love is the Devil’. Problem Child: Fusing the classic Virus sound with Blu Mar Ten’s inimitable ethereal production ‘Problem Child’ is cross-scene classic finding its way into a wide range of sets, from D Bridge and London Elektricity to Hype and Nicky Blackmarket. A deceptively sedate intro of choirs and strings gives way to a rollout full of howling mid-range and sub basses, interspersed with phrases of pure distortion all gliding over a set of sleazily funky breaks. Watch out for the rollercoaster reese on the second drop, guaranteed to send any club potty. Sweet Little Supernova: In stark contrast, ‘Sweet Little Supernova’ showcases the talents of Rochelle Parker who delivers a Cocteau Twins-esque vocal over Blu Mar Ten’s dense music. An acoustic percussion line underpins a pulsing set of basslines while a soaring mix of organic & synthetic instrumentation weaves around the unearthly vocal, providing a clear feminine counterpoint to ‘Problem Child’s resolutely masculine approach. With resident designer ithinkitsnice on artwork duties Problem Child / Sweet Little Supernova is a clear indication of the quality to be expected from the forthcoming Love Is The Devil LP. Blu Mar Ten receive regular DJ support from: Marky, London Elektricity, Doc Scott, Futurebound, Teebee, Instra:mental, D Bridge, Hype, John B, Logistics, Ed Rush, Marcus Intalex, Utah Jazz, Nicky Blackmarket, Makoto, Spectrasoul ,Simon Bassline Smith, Mutated Forms, Randall, Kasra, Ulterior Motive, B Complex, Apex, SPY, Craggz, DKay, Seba, Loxy, Ink, Lynx, John B, Data, Nerm & D-Kode, Jaydan, Annie Nightingale, Crissy Criss, Mosus, A Sides, Tom Middleton, ASC, State of Mind, Lomax, Alleycat, Big Bud and many more

DRPLP003T1 – Dom & Roland – Big Bang Part 1 – 12″ Vinyl
Dom of Dom & Roland needs no introduction. With his Roland sampler, he has been at the apex of drum and bass since the mid 90ʻs. One of the original pioneers of the techstep sound. NME once called him the George Lucas of the scene, due to his unfaltering ability to provide the listener with an auralʼgasm of epic soundscapes inspired by the visuals of a thousand sci-fi movies. You only have to search for the youtube video of DJ Marky “broking out” to Enforced which he played as his last tune at Global Gathering this year to see the impact this album will have this year and for the years to come.

DIS049 – Marcus Intalex – Stark / Virgo – 12″ Vinyl
Dispatch Recordings is proud to count the Manchester legend among its ranks from now on. You can’t have missed one of the numerous top notch sounds he’s been providing throughout his long career. He is now gathering a forward thinking and historically self conscious music that we could easily define as pretty unique in its genre. The Soul :R boss offers us this time a really valuable glimpse of what D&B should be nowadays : inventive, energetic and technically perfect. When all these elements meet the great sense of groove of the big Soul master, you have a result you can genuinely be happy with. So are we. A. ‘Stark’ Classic tune ! No doubt nobody else would have been able to orchestrate that well so a large scape of unexpected tonalities. These mastered wobbles and swinging rythm make definitely up Marcus’ secret weapons. Some pure electric sounds dive you in a delicious nostalgic style of his own. The final result : a furiously original dance song. AA. ‘Virgo’ This is first a matter of musicality. A lively & lovely lead which is redolent of some of the biggest D&B anthems. A peerless technical and musical knowhow we can feel at every step of the tune. That percussive drum slightly enveloped by an ethereal melody creates a perfect wellbalanced ambiance. Absolute dancefloor killer. DJ support from: Ant TC1, Rob Da Bank, Calibre, Artificial Intelligence, Doc Scott, Fabio, Marky, DBridge,Rockwell, Octane & DLR, Need For Mirrors, Dabs, Lenzman, Survival, Youngsta, Skeptical, to name a few.

CRIT058 – Foreign Concept – Mob Justice – 12″ Vinyl
Moving towards the end of the year and it’s time for a temperature change as Critical gets ice cold with the talents of D&B scene newcomer, Foreign Concept. Although a relatively fresh face Foreign Concept has already made quite a name for himself have signed tunes to the likes of Samurai, Ingredients, Shogun and Commercial Suicide. Here Kasra picks possibly the cream of the crop with a release that has been hitting clubs hard all over for the past few months. Sometimes the only answer is ‘Mob Justice’. A staggered break, industrial fx and drifting pads open it up with the by now familiar to most ‘hang from the gallows’ vocal that signals the drop into some enormous droning sub-bass with twisted fills and oldskool amen edits. Cuts deep in the mix on any worthy sound system; a Critical anthem for all the Fabric regulars. Flipping over and label boss Kasra joins him in the studio for a joint venture with devastatingly good consequences. Kicking off with a more regular two-step break, piano chords and old soul vox ‘Show You’ rolls into a bouncing stepper with a surging b-line that keeps things moving with pace. One for the marching crew and another good sign of Kasra’s own production progress. Definitely much for to come from in the future from Foreign Concept.

b Foreign Concept & Kasra – Show You

HFT018 – Paul Woolford and Psycatron – Stolen – 12″ Vinyl
Hotflush presents a special collaboration between two modern-day techno innovators: Paul Woolford and Psycatron. Both maintaining an influential discography on labels such as Planet E, Intimacy, Tresor, and Bedrock, they’ve come together to produce “Stolen”, a nine-minute techno excursion. Utilising relentless, throbbing percussion that sizzles over growling, acidic synthesis and carefully placed samples, it’s presented in three distinct versions, introducing filter-swept chords in the Dub Mix, and an even deeper submersion in the second Dub Mix that perfectly eclipses the raw temperament of the original.

SL016 – Josh Money – Let Go With You / The Wrong People – 12″ Vinyl
Currently churning out some of the most fiendishly heavy beats around for EA Games, Floridaís Josh Money’s latest release follows the bassbin-busting Bullet for the Bears, which had bass fiends on both sides of the Atlantic foaming at the mouth with its orchestral breakdowns, gnarly low end and tight-as-all-hell edits. Now he’s back with a double helping of utter carnage for Sludge. First up, Let Go With You drops sumptuous pads, oriental-style synths and slick vocal stylings before dragging you onto the floor with a bassline that feels like waking up to a shot of tequila while being roundly spanked by maniacal goblins from the planet RWOAR. It’s also got enough edits to keep even the most discerning clubber’s brain ticking over at triple-time. Next up, we have something even more repulsively brilliant for you. String arrangements bring AA-side The Wrong People in nicely, before dark orchestral arrangements give way to bubbling beats, searing sawtooth bass and more naughty, trademark edits for one seriously epic chunk of filth. A brace of essential bangers for the discerning modern dubstepper, and a sign that Josh has cemented himself as a producer to watch in 2011 and beyond.

New D&B CD





CITRUSCD005 – Fourward – Episodes – CD
The ever on point Citrus Recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist LP. after having released the debut Albums of Mindscape & Jade wich all went on for critical acclaim it’s time for Citrus to get ready for its 3rd Artist Album. This time it’s time for the debut album of ‘Fourward’! Hailing straight from lower Austria the four men collective FOURWARD started out producing music in early 2007. The boys knew each other for quite a while and shared the love and passion for drumandbass music. For them it was always a main issue not to stick to any particular tiny subgenre only, but to develop a sound of their own. All members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. Days went by and the boys finished a couple of tunes properly and it wasn’t long until Austrian drumandbass producer duo Body&Soul showed interest in their works. Also international artists like BBCs very own Crissy Criss began to support their music giving them airplay on his radio show. As a result of their effort FOURWARD has released quality tunes on labels like Subsonik Sound, Planet Funk and Fokuz. The year 2010 they experienced the so called ‘breakthrough’ with releases on NASCA Recordings and Fokuz followed by an epic 12inch for the legendary label VIRUS Recordings! The guys definitely didn’t stop there and being on the road now broadened their horizon even further. Resulting in a series of tunes perfectly fitting together in this CD. Diversity and musicallity are keywords for this album. Listen from Low Blow to You and Me, quality drum ‘n bass!!

New D&B Releases





REDSEAL011 – ASC – Brainscan / Zone One – 12″ Vinyl
Pressed on Silver Vinyl. ASC returns to Samurai Red Seal to follow his prevous release ‘Machines’ / ‘Bleep Test’ (Redseal006). One of the most interesting artists left operating in Drum and Bass, James Clements again re writes the script for 170 BPM production with ‘Brainscan’. A sizzling slice of potent sonic futurism that cuts through systems like a focused lazer beam with a trail of bulging sub bass. ‘Zone One’ marries classic Krust and Photek tinges with a stuttering menace that could only come from ASC. Both sides have been firm favourites with the scenes leading forward thinking DJ’s including Doc Scott, dBridge, Loxy, Spectrasoul, Consequence, Kasra, Black Sun Empire, Triad and many more..

AM006 – Alaska – Boreal / Isochime – 12″ Vinyl
Alaska returns from The Mesozoic Era wilderness and drops the 6th 12” on the ambient-jungle label Arctic Music. Boreal kicks off in true Alaska fashion with vocal loops, deep bass subs, ambient horns and layers of swirling pads sending Boreal into ambient bliss, but it’s the breaks that turn the track on its head with it’s crunchy and heavy patterns that keep the head nodding and feet shuffling. Isochime see’s Alaska return to his early Good Looking Records roots with it’s mesmerising pad swirls and guitar riffs. Sine wave bass notes take care of the bottom end and just when you think everything is relaxed along comes a powerful compressed Amen break thundering like a tornado that destroys anything in it’s path. The unmistakable sound of Isochime. Timeless ambient-jungle from Alaska.

With their first release jumping straight into the Beatport charts at #1, the second seeing Nymfo’s first ever remix and with the ink still drying on the license request for Demand’s third release to appear on the latest compilation CD from UKF, it’s clear that this label has achieved more than most start-ups. So it’s no real surprise that the fourth outing from the Swiss-owned imprint is something special too. Here we see Cause 4 Concern member and highly accomplished solo producer, Optiv, team up with Renegade Hardware’s BTK to craft two incredible drum & bass tracks with a completely unique feel. ‘Crawler’ features Presence Known on the beats who helps Optiv & BTK to craft a tribal drum-led slice of D&B with expertly placed sound FX and atmospheric touches. This is like a modern twist on the classic Virus sound, flexing delicate and understated beats with winding mid range synths and deep sub-bass. Impeccable! Backing it up is ‘Music Within’ featuring Podage & LaMeduza. Building slowly and gradually with powerful vocals, once again we’re treated to an education in the art of subtle drum & bass. If you’re looking for rinsed out amens and heavily distorted reese basslines then turn your attentions elsewhere, because this track is as beautiful as it is elegant. It won’t be turning any raves upside down, but that’s not really the point of good music, is it?

CITRUSLP005 – Fourward – Episodes – 12″ Vinyl x 4
The ever on point Citrus Recordings is stepping up for its 5th artist LP. after having released the debut Albums of Mindscape & Jade wich all went on for critical acclaim it’s time for Citrus to get ready for its 3rd Artist Album. This time it’s time for the debut album of ‘Fourward’! Hailing straight from lower Austria the four men collective FOURWARD started out producing music in early 2007. The boys knew each other for quite a while and shared the love and passion for drumandbass music. For them it was always a main issue not to stick to any particular tiny subgenre only, but to develop a sound of their own. All members have different musical backgrounds which fit together perfectly and provide a great studio vibe. Days went by and the boys finished a couple of tunes properly and it wasn’t long until Austrian drumandbass producer duo Body&Soul showed interest in their works. Also international artists like BBCs very own Crissy Criss began to support their music giving them airplay on his radio show. As a result of their effort FOURWARD has released quality tunes on labels like Subsonik Sound, Planet Funk and Fokuz. The year 2010 they experienced the so called ‘breakthrough’ with releases on NASCA Recordings and Fokuz followed by an epic 12inch for the legendary label VIRUS Recordings! The guys definitely didn’t stop there and being on the road now broadened their horizon even further. Resulting in a series of tunes perfectly fitting together in this 4pack 12inch. Diversity and musicallity are keywords for this album. Listen from Low Blow to You and Me, quality drum ‘n bass!!

FOKUZ046 – N.Phect feat. Fourward – Without Your Touch / Nova – 12″ Vinyl
Every once in while you find a combination thats so interesting you just cant shut up about it! When FOKUZ038, the split EP from Fourward & N.Phect, was released on FOKUZ many were amazed.. In a positive way though! This time its time for a collab between the two. Fourward & NPhect deliver a superb roller thats again pure Fokuz diversity.. Sweet melodies, intro with a dreamy vocal and a heavy rolling bassline with a subtle neuro twist. ANTHEM!With ‘NOVA’ Fourward shows that they’re going onward once more.. onward to interesting directions!

APEXX002 – Taktix – It’s The Way (2010 Refix) / It’s The Way (Serum Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
After the massive impact of Harvest’s dance floor destroyer ‘Militant’ Apexx Recordings proudly returns with our second release and we have pulled out all the stops for this one. Dj Taktix’s needs no introduction and neither does ‘It’s The Way’ first come out in 1994 and the remix featuring Top Buzz’s Mad P vocal is a benchmark tune to say the least. Taktix returns after a large break from the scene and comes with a remix with afresh new angle, rather than your typical junglist approach he gives it a dark more twisted vibe, metallic beats, dirty amen and still keeping the vocal gives ‘It’s The Way’ a fresh new vibe. Serum remix on the other hand is exactly what you expect from this highly rated producer and he brings it right up to 2010 with all the attributes there from the original and this remix has caused a storm. Been on dubplate for a while now and still getting airplay on all major radio stations this has had massive support from the likes of Andy C, Bryan Gee, Dj Marky, Nicky Blackmarket, Crissy Criss, Bailey and that’s just a few……. Also Watch out for forthcoming track from Dj Devize ‘Build N Destroy’ massive support from Dj’s Hazard, Marky, Brockie, Nicky Blackmarket & more.

CRIT057EP – Enei – Stonehead EP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Oh. My. Gosh. Critical come to conquer with this absolutely dangerous 4-tracker courtesy of Russia’s Enei; a name becoming more familiar by the day as one of the most talented and most exciting new school producers in the game. Snapped up by the ever on point label master Kasra, this EP only makes the prospect of the debut Enei album even more tantalizing. The title track ‘Stone Head’ is a bulldozer of a tune that comes complete with the Andy C seal of approval. A stepper’s paradise with rich kicks and a body-slamming, rolling b-line that’ll send shockwaves through any club. Serious is an understatement! Next up Enei hooks up with vocalist Riya for a proper techy bounder ‘No Fear’ with its undulating bassline that bounces hard taking no prisoners as it moves. The wrecking-ball of the bunch. Moving on and the mood changes slightly to the more flowing sounds of ‘Movin’ Fast’; a naughty, gnarly slice of heavyweight D&B with large feedback-infused bass and sick amen edits that keeps things lively. Wait for the breakdown and switch up though for the killer blow! Then finishing things off in fine style is the heavily hammered Jubei remix of Enei, Eastcolors & Noel’s hit from earlier in the year ‘Cracker’. Keeping the seedy original vibe alive, Jubei goes in deep and comes out the other side with another tough slab of speaker freaker bass and beats. Awesome.

SUBTITLESUK009 – Fracture & Mark System – Yeah, But… – 12″ Vinyl
Fracture & Mark System, clearly understanding the fundamental elements Drum with Bass music. Their debut release for Subtitles is utterly compulsive, creating a vibe that’s full of bruising technoid fear, whilst brilliantly funky. On the flip side Closed Circuit’s groove is laid back, while moody beats steadily increase the pressure. Produced to perfection with the emphasis on the funk and groove. As Shy FX said It’s music from the heart. It’s not writing beats to sell units, it’s for the love of it”

Neither ‘Order’ or ‘Pan’ have appeared on Blake’s soulful, electronic self-titled album from this year; the new material sees the return of Blake into the more sparse, experimental and wobbling bass heavy sound of his earlier work.

IBR007 – Migrant – Exit Plan EP – 12″ Vinyl
Iberian Records feature on their seventh release an EP from Migrant (aka 23Hz) who comes with three slabs of soundsystem funk and groovy vibes. “Limbic Sistim” kicks off proceedings with a building arrangement into a catchy vocal lick – all underpinned with tight beats and warm subs. “Acid Sumatra” works on a similar tip but ups the tribal and percussive pressure on a deeper insistent rub. Whilst “Pipe Club” brings some classic two-steppy flavours into the mix but cleverly reinforced with massive sub weight. These three tunes are taken from Migrants forthcoming album, also entitled “Exit Plan”. More Bass’n'Groove from the Lisbon and Barcelona based label that should find favour with the deeper end of both Dubstep and UK Funky scenes.’ Early support by Scratcha DVA, Ghosts on Tape, Kid606, Chrissy Muderbot, Cardopusher, Slackk, Mesak, Phaeleh, DeVille, Bunzer0, Throwing Snow.

RS1107 – Klaus – Tusk EP – 12″ Vinyl
When I loaded this EP into my computer to pen some words on this cerebral cortex of an EP, it popped up next to an old recording I have of Klaus Schulze and in many ways it hints at a modern update on his sound. Klaus is not as his name denotes actually from Germany, but a classically trained young musician from London. In his short tenure as a producer, he’s already picked up plaudits from the great James Blake and Mount Kimbie. The latter loved him so much they called upon him to remix their recent Carbonated release. With debut EP Tusk we have an initial statement, which sounds too accomplished to be an entrance into the recorded world. Erudite and cultivated, the EP sets a tone for an early evening on a heavy system or an earlier morning on the headphones against an inner-city backdrop. It twists and turns throughout its four tracks. Layered drum patterns give way to distorted atmospherics permeated with that heavy, heavy bass. It’s almost Eno-esque in its structure, so I’m not going to break each track down here. Stick the whole thing on and experience it’s beauty.

The original track is already a club anthem but that didn’t stop Emalkay from stamping his hallmark, head-smashing bass-lines all over the place. Whilst Roska; on the other hand, does what he does best flipping Caspa’s infectious synth horns into a lustrous funky affair with a lethal combination of dancefloor drum-lines and his incredible sub-driven synth jabs. Proper party music!

NL009 – Kowton – Keep Walking / Show Me – 12″ Vinyl
Kowton’s EPs are the best possible fit for ‘the devil’s workshop’ – they’re not only deep, dark and warm, but also seductive and, at a pinch, sexy – just like the Dark Prince, or so I’ve been told. Perhaps I’ve come under Satan’s sway, but for me, both EPs released so far on Idle Hands sound like someone who’s been at it for much, much longer: this is a music knowledge which is anything but basic.

PNTS001 – Visionist – MR67 – 10″ Vinyl
Limited edition 300 copies 10 inch Vinyl. For those in the know the Visionist, often known as Mr. 67 (vis-á-vis Boiler Room front and center), has been on the radar for some time receiving extensive play from Oneman, Blackdown, and Dark Sky. With a slew of material forthcoming on 502, Diskotopia, and Left_Blank the Mr. 67 release makes available arguably his best-known and well-received work to date. 92 Points the label aims to join the dots between the rapturous heights of 1992 golden-era jungle, turn of the century champagne-bubbly garage, and the modern day mongrel forms that have been shutting down dances of late proving it to be a true ‘nuum imprint. Established by some of the core members of Brixton-centric collective We Are Dubist, 92 Points seeks to combine tight artwork with uncompromising electronic music talent.

GREC021V – Hackman – Close – 12″ Vinyl
This is the one. This is the summer tune of 2011. Skream Annie Mac & Nick Grimshaw have all been building the hype Hackman’s epic title track Close. Probably one of the best pieces of, bass driven vocal dance music this year. Cheekily sniping the Alicia Keys acapella from ‘No One’ and employing the pitching down technique Hackman compliments the vocal riff with layers of heavily clapped out garage breakbeats, and tops it off with a euphoric, futuristic grime bassline that rolls out like an Atlantic breaker. It’s not just close, it’s perfect – and it’s another effortlessly curated release from Greco-Roman.

DMND004 – BTK & Optiv – Crawler / Music Within – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. It’s clear to see that the first half of 2011 has been an amazing one for Demand Records. With their first release jumping straight into the Beatport charts at #1, the second seeing Nymfo’s first ever remix and with the ink still drying on the license request for Demand’s third release to appear on the latest compilation CD from UKF, it’s clear that this label has achieved more than most start-ups. So it’s no real surprise that the fourth outing from the Swiss-owned imprint is something special too. Here we see Cause 4 Concern member and highly accomplished solo producer, Optiv, team up with Renegade Hardware’s BTK to craft two incredible drum & bass tracks with a completely unique feel. ‘Crawler’ features Presence Known on the beats who helps Optiv & BTK to craft a tribal drum-led slice of D&B with expertly placed sound FX and atmospheric touches. This is like a modern twist on the classic Virus sound, flexing delicate and understated beats with winding mid range synths and deep sub-bass. Impeccable! Backing it up is ‘Music Within’ featuring Podage & LaMeduza. Building slowly and gradually with powerful vocals, once again we’re treated to an education in the art of subtle drum & bass. If you’re looking for rinsed out amens and heavily distorted reese basslines then turn your attentions elsewhere, because this track is as beautiful as it is elegant. It won’t be turning any raves upside down, but that’s not really the point of good music, is it?

NOPPACD001 – Tes La Rok – Them – CD
Tes La Rok’s highly anticipated debut album entitled ‘Them’ will finally see the light of day. Tes La Rok made his name in dubstep circles in 2007 with the massive “Round The World Girls Remix” which immediately positioned him as one of the most exciting artists and definitely one to watch. Anthem releases such as ‘Under The Dancing Feet’ remix for Clouds, ‘Wikidness Remix’ for Mungo’s Hi-Fi, and ‘Up In The Vip / Living Fire’ on Dub Police were soon followed by bookings at DMZ in Brixton and dubstep mecca FWD>> at Plastic People. ‘Them’ features thirteen tracks engineered with precision and care. ‘Invasion’ sets the album off in a deep and minimal flavour followed by the dark and abyssal ‘Earth’. The album title track ‘Them’ mixes techno flavours with tribal percussions and futuristic basslines. ‘Murda’ takes the sound back to the year 2006 which is the year when it was originally composed and luckily recovered from a destroyed hard drive! ‘Virus’ is a dark mutated sci-fi roller followed by ‘You & I’, the track that has been causing waves all over the world. Tes gives a taste of his old junglist roots on 140bpm amen roller ‘Secrets’ and as a follow-up tests his hands on hip hop vibes in ‘Malfunction’. ‘Tribal Ting’ and ‘Spiritual Ting’ showcase the more known Tes La Rok dubwise production and his profound love to dig dub stepper sounds. ‘What’ and ‘From The Shadows’ combine deep & beautiful atmospheres with post-garage drums patterns and subheavy basslines. To bring the album to a finale and give a hint of the future, ‘Turn It Up’ brings in chopped vocals and raw 808 bass. Coming from the land of three months of nearly zero sunlight it is by no means a surprise that this album is deep, dark and futuristic. From the music to the artwork there’s a touch of Bladerunner and Alien. These tracks are being championed by the main players such as Distance, N-Type, Kryptic, Minds, Desto, Pinch, Addison Groove and Cyrus.

EXIT031 – Synkro & Indigo – Guidance – 12″ Vinyl
Never afraid to write music from the heart rather than trying to fit a mould Synkro & Indigo bring a refreshing and inspirational sound to the table and Exit Records are proud to provide an outlet for their work. Their dedicated followers have eagerly awaited guidance, and there’s good reason. Awash with lush atmospheres and vocals it’s a track that manages to touch the listener’s soul and becomes more addictive the more it’s listened to. Delayed snare rolls and fills create an ocean of space for the ambience to develop into a warm and cosey blanket of pure bliss. Reflection contains the same emotion triggering qualities as the A side and is the perfect partner. A little more drum based than its accomplice but just as soothing, it takes you through a workout of intricate beat edits and mixes distant classical vocals with subtle chord progressions.

3024014 – Jon Convex – Convexations – 12″ Vinyl
Coming off the back off a sustained period of acclaim as one half of Instramental (an act who you haven’t heard the last of) we’re incandescently proud to debut longtime 3024 alumni Damon Kirkham’s first solo material as Jon Convex with a sound that strikes off in a direction entirely of its own, while mirroring the roaming analogue methodology of his group’s latter day work. Opener ‘Convexations’ raises the curtain with traces of Yamaha fog and a hollowed out kick before a bassline fusing Giorgio Moroder with The Human Centipede rears up to provide unrelenting forward momentum. Glimpses of dialogue warped to the point of gibberish, an ever growing chorus of muttering percussive synths and a zero gravity drop complete the picture of a ride in cattle class all the way to Pittsburgh. ’Falling Again’ dials back its predecessor’s intensity, evoking a robotic production line take on UKG. A metronomic 2-step rhythm forms the basis for a replicant diva’s final performance while another strikingly organic bass line spends the duration of the track expanding and arcing with all the grace of a particularly low frequency solar flare. Exclusive to the digital version is ‘Order Into Chaos’. The first Jon Convex track we heard, a particularly intense 3024 board meeting saw it declared too good to leave sitting on the shelf. The most (warehouse) floor focused track offered here and a heads down simmering vat of acid, the surface of which sporadically erupts in frothing signal distortion and T1000 kicks. With the audio content taking a turn into harder and darker territory, Erosie’s inimitable artwork provides an inky curve ball by taking his collage series into a softer but no less vivid palette providing another perfect visual counterpoint to proceedings.

NS008R – Girl Unit – Wut (Claude Vonstroke Remixs) – 12″ Vinyl
We were adamant: “no ‘Wut’ remixes”. But when Vonstroke comes knocking you let him in! Driven by CVS’ own enthusiasm for Girl Unit’s 2010 anthem, the Dirty Bird label boss submitted to us three different versions of his remix, each progressively more stripped down. All three transform ‘Wut’ from gleaming crunk anthem to bass-driven house metatool, expanding on its raw big-room essence. Here we release two of the three versions. On side A Vonstroke’s “Undressed” mix borrows Girl Unit’s synth arrangements and vocal tics, keeping all the ecstasy and emotion of the original for its epic swells, which build up to huge cavernous drops of pitched Miami bass hits and clattering 808s. Quintessentially CVS, this is the sound of Night Slugs x Dirty Bird. On side AA is the “Butt Naked Mix” (title picked by Vonstroke in true DB style). This version relates to the original only in the most spectral sense, stripping away almost all of Girl Unit’s stems and melodic elements. The result is a beautifully restrained rhythm track, a machine-like big-room dub that builds and drops so elegantly yet so devastatingly. The work of a true master!

The plan was finally realised after a string of coincidences and happy accidents led them to sharing a house in the northern suburbs of Helsinki. This is the 3rd release from Clouds on Deep Medi Musik, the follow up to ‘Protecting Hands Pt1&2’.

Neither ‘Order’ or ‘Pan’ have appeared on Blake’s soulful, electronic self-titled album from this year; the new material sees the return of Blake into the more sparse, experimental and wobbling bass heavy sound of his earlier work.

ORCA004 – xxxy – You Gotta Do You – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Following the huge success of XI’s second release, Orca Recordings is back to deliver its highly anticipated forth instalment; this time from the highly versatile Xxxy , who has delivered two unbelievably cuts for his first 12” on the label. It has been an unbelievable year for Xxxy, with the success of ‘You Always Start It’ on Ten Thousand Yen capturing the attention of many of the scene’s tastemakers including Mount Kimbie, Untold MJ Cole and many others. With his new outing on Orca, Xxxy’s musical style has evolved considerably to incorporate a whole new set of influences and ideas, which leads us to proudly announce that the productions set to be released in the Orca series are ‘You Gotta Do You’ and ‘Open Your Eyes’. ‘You Gotta Do You’ sees Xxxy venture into new sonic territory drawing influence from acid techno, continuing the creative exploration of this classic sound alongside other contemporary artists like Boddika and Blawan. The driving 808’s and futuristic synth arpeggios give this all the heavy vibes of a classic Underground Resistance release with a unique modern interpretation. On the flip, ‘Open Your Eyes’ carries a completely different focus, taking on all the features of an early 90’s jungle anthem and re-contextualizing them into 130bpm amen drivenworkout. Both of these productions are from the ethos that looking into the past for musical inspiration and to create a new breed of sound that is strong enough to smash the biggest clubs but versatile enough to please the most discerning headphone listener.

BRK020 – Erra – Stax / Jookup – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy, Berkane Sol present the vinyl debut of Erra. Erra comes bursting through your speakers with a riot of tuff drums and sweet melody – its like the sound of someone who’s rinsed their console so much that its gone way beyond high scores and into a full on system meltdown. ‘Stax’ starts out with a dreamy intro which leads into the rudest of wake up calls – a proper peak-time jackin’ synth stab married to a smartly evolved bassline, all driven by concussive garage flavoured rhythms. ‘Jookup’ on the flip again demonstrates Erra’s irresistible talent for blending blissful keys with hectic dancefloor moments, this time really bringing the sickly grime synths to the front, with some cute but disembodied vocals punctuating the action. The 12” follows up Erra’s popular L2S digital release ‘Cake Music’, and neatly shows off this young producers rapid development. These tracks have been getting love from people such as: Al Tourettes (Applepips), Mary Anne Hobbs, Brackles (Rinse FM), N Type (Wheel and Deal), DJ Flight (1 Xtra), Spamchop (Wigflex), 2562 (Tectonic), Shortstuff (Ramp), Cardopusher (Hyperdub), Martyn (3024), Martin Kemp (Blunted Robots), Elgato (Hessle Audio), Selector dub U (Hotflush), Skipple (Sub FM), West Norwood Cassette Library (Teal), King Thing (Fortified)

PLATTER002 – S-Max & Spatial – Ms. Rosen Dub / Corti – 12″ Vinyl
The second serving from Schmorgasbord brings together two relatively disparate and unrelated artists, but who both share a uniquely twisted approach to making music. S-Max has been doing his thing for some time, running legendary home all things bizarre in house and techno, Boogizm, and releasing a special kind of groove on labels such as Telegraph, 7th City and Karloff. His original track, ‘Ms. Rosen Dub’, swaggers and sways with the spirit of classic Yorkshire bleeps and bass. The groove is house, but the spirit of adventure is most definitely techno. His remix of Spatial’s ‘Corti’ takes a very different approach, taking a rolling, jungle-like approach to dubstep and nailing it to the groove with stabbing bass notes. Spatial leapt onto the bass music radar late 2008 with his shadowy Infrasonics imprint, and quickly snapped heads with his crisp, refined approach to 2-step rhythms. Since then he’s done things on his own terms, only releasing for himself and mutating his sound over a series of 10”s. ‘Corti’ perfectly demonstrates Spatials unconventional tendencies, lurching and buckling around a perfectly honed splatter of beats, off-centre synths and delirious vocal snippets. Meanwhile on his remix of S-Max, Spatial flips the script once again with a stomping, swung techno angle that hammers the original into an uptempo, fist-pumping banger.

OUTNL001 – Kastil – Dusty Edits – 12″ Vinyl
File under Disco Edits. As an extension of their Dutch electronic music website Outernational.nl, we present you the newly born imprint Outernational Recordings. The kick off for this unique vinyl series is by Basque County native Kastil who sets the right tone with three wonderful Disco edits at a mid-tempo / slomo pace. Since uploading these tracks to his SoundCloud page, the feedback has been enormous. Side A contains the long, slow and loopy ‘Back to Philadelphia’, where Kastil cleverly plays with the vocals and delay and creates a highly tense build up. There’s no doubt that some large players in the very popular Disco edit culture will play this one out. On the B1 side you find the track ‘SMD’. A track which received great feedback by some key figures on SoundCloud. This track is the ultimate pre-lude for the summer. Fortunately, this is being released just early enough to enjoy this during the European and Northern American summer. With again beautiful vocals floating through the track, this track definitely reminds one of a hot day in the local park. The B2 track is called ‘Rolls Royce’. Perfect as the last track of this release since it’s a long edit which ends with a very atmospheric piano solo that keeps on floating through the last few minutes of the track. All and all, these edits will definitely make some heads turn after the date of release. Supported by: Cosmic Boogie, Dicky Trisco, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra, Sleazy Beats Recordings, Ben La Desh, 78 Edits, Osvaldo Wilson, Mannmademusic, Gitchell Moore

RWINA013 – Desto – Makowrap EP – 12″ Vinyl
Rwina Records follows up Doshy’s unforgettable ‘Suspiria’ EP with yet another massive and dramatic A-side, this time from Finnish dubstep producer Desto.  Like ‘Suspiria’, Desto’s ‘Makowrap’ is all about uncompromising focus, exacting precision and killer melodies, with the normally hyperactive producer temporarily shelving his loopy constructions and frantic arpeggios and instead favouring a measured, slowly building progression instead.  Desto’s volatile energy is channelled into bursts of epic, triumphant melody, undeniably anthemic each and every single time they stream out blindingly over the track’s weighty kick, a reminder that this is, in fact, bass music after all.  The hushed chords and skittering, exaggerated snares that dribble and melt all over the track put a noticeably hip-hop slant that permeates the rest of the EP. The other two tracks hearken back to the usual kind of colourful dubstep Desto is associated with, all arpeggiated fireworks and topsy-turvy synth chords. ‘Neptune’ staggers down a descending progression into plateaus of sub-bass throb as synths twinkle and shoot out from the empty spaces, playful percussive accents peeking out mischievously, the sound of drum machines misbehaving.  The other track on the flipside focus around vocal samples, with ‘Overkrookd’ attacking a frightened vocal with monotonous LFO stabs that occasionally break through into an undersea world of squiggling chords and bubbling melodies, Jokeresque majesty that quickly flatlines back into the track’s unforgiving mechano-skank. Finally, as an exclusive extra digital; ‘React’ drops somersaulting breakbeats over more of those aqueous 8-bit synths, alternately trilling gently and smearing themselves across the wet, mouldy canvas.  While it’s quite possibly the label’s most dubstep-centric release yet, Desto’s ‘Makowrap’ is just another in a series of masterful releases combining the most colourful and vibrant sectors of dubstep and grime with hip-hop swagger, melodically rich while keeping them fully focused on the dancefloor.

TUBA002 – J Kenzo / The Spit Brothers – Nocturnal Feelings / Beg To Differ (DJG Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
The second release from Dubs Alive’s sister label, TUBA, features the deep and intense sound of the UK’s J:Kenzo. His A side track, Nocturnal Feelings Is a dark, serious work that brilliantly juxtaposes hard bass lines, frantic percussion, and atmospheric depth. The B side debuts The Spit Brothers on vinyl with Beg to Differ, a sub driven, meditative, and minimalistic affair.The record closes with DJG’s Reformat of Beg to Differ. This forward thinking track showcases DJG’s intelligent approach to bass music. His reformat balances the deep with the dance oh-so-well

UNTITLED004 – 501 feat. Kaleb – Strings Attached / Smoke And Mirrors – 12″ Vinyl
Strings Attached: The trance intro might leave some confused to what to expect from the drop. But when it does it takes away all confusion and injects you with a shot of adrenaline with it’s catchy bass and filtered vocals courtesy of Kaleb. This tune has had serious impact across the globe as a dubplate and will have an even bigger impact upon it’s release. Smoke and Mirrors: Smoke and Mirrors has Finnish supertalent 501 showing his ability to fuse different elements into one big tune. From the morphing guitars in the intro to the purple drop and twisted vocals with glitchy fx further in it is clear why this producer is hot on every one’s lip. This tune just progresses and progresses and will leave you wanting to flip over to the b-side.

MJAZZLP05 – DiamonD EyE – Moments In Life – CD
With an interest sparked at a young age by the ‘liquid’ sounds d & b and artists such as Calibre, Marky, XRS and Artificial Intelligence, Diamond EyE starts his quest within the scene. During these formative years he has notched up releases with Fokuz, Mr Joseph’s Fizzy beats, Manifesto and Inperspective recording alongside head honcho Chris INP.

ABSCD005 – Getz & Nuage – Anywhere Here LP – CD
Absys presents the long-awaited album from the Russian duo of Getz & Nuage – ‘Anywhere Here’. Both producers have been actively involved – as a duo, as well as solo – on drum & bass scene for some time and become known as not only prolific and versatile, but most of all, musically sensitive which gained them quite an acclaim among the deeper and softer d’n'b listeners. This sensitivity turned out to be far from accidental, what has been proven by many well-received releases of this duo. Following up, the guys decided to focus on new material, broader not only in terms of volume, but also of the themes covered. So, what to expect from ‘Anywhere Here’? The most appropriate – and at the same time the shortest – answer would be, simply, d’n'b – no more, no less, without pigeonholing or labeling. Yet, the musical content is quite futuristic and ‘modern’, but it’s still d’n'b. What’s certain is that this content will surely please those who are into minimal sounds (‘Insomnia Shadows’, ‘Is the Way’), experiments (‘Anytime’), melodies and soul (‘Open Your Heart’), but also those who dig the less (‘Gallactica’) and more (‘Overcoder’) broken stuff. Add to this some deep and flowing rhythms, like ‘Morning Coffee’, and you have a recipe for a diverse, but at the same time coherent album, especially in terms of sound and themes. Despite the obvious musical diversity, the artists managed to maintain a consistent, distinctive futuristic style of their album, thus creating a perfect musical background for an exciting and simultaneously blissful journey through drum & bass Milky Way. Put on your spacesuit and hop on the board of Absys shuttle. Prepare for launch in 3.. 2.. 1.. Music mastered by LXC. Beautiful artwork painted and layouted by Magda Zieba

REDSEAL010 – Need For Mirrors – Fishscale / Retrograde – 12″ Vinyl
Solid White vinyl 12″. After their recent Samurai Red Seal debut, Mosus and HLZ aka Need For Mirrors return with yet another diverse duo of tunes further displaying their confident versatility. ‘Fishscale’ is disturbingly heavy in the low end, so much so we advise planning your sets around it as it makes most other recent Drum and Bass tunes sound like the bass kill switch is on. The tunes strident step and familiar vocal connect the dots between vintage Jonny L and Doc Scott productions and the year 2011. ‘Retrograde’ is the darkest tune to ever be released on Samurai Red Seal. It’s ragged beauty caught our attention instantly though, and many a crowd has fallen victim to its cute malice. DJ Bailey (Metalheadz / 1Xtra) has been one of this tunes strongest supporters. Released on solid white vinyl and digital.

DMND003 – Heavy1 – Xiphactinus / Xiphactinus (Lenzman Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
Proving once and for all that drum & bass is a global movement, here we have a single produced in Japan, A&R’d in Switzerland, remixed in Holland and distributed via the UK across the world. Thankfully the majority of these processes are done via the internet – otherwise we’re sure someone would have something to say about the carbon footprint of this one! Japanese producer Heavy1 takes to the helm for Demand Records’ third release, following two incredible singles featuring music from Spectrasoul, BTK, Nymfo, Lost Sequence and Codeshaper. Here you’re offered no reduction in quality as Heavy1 turns out an impeccable ride through drum & bass territory. Slowly opening with scattered hi hats and punctuating kicks, it’s not long before ‘Xiphactinus’ (a predatory fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous period if, like us, you had no idea what this was…) bares its prehistoric teeth, snapping at you with crisp snares and expertly placed sound effects. Basslines judder and bounce back and forth before engulfing you in their mighty jaws! This is undoubtedly the start of great things for Heavy1. On the flip, Demand enlists yet another well known name to add some remix action to the mix. This time it’s Metalheadz’ Lenzman who steps up, taking ‘Xiphactinus’ down a whole new aesthetic path. Turning a track that holds a brewing, unspoken menace into one with a euphoric edge isn’t an easy task, but Lenzman’s electro leads and warming bass notes manage it effortlessly. With a wave of new material ready for the second half of the year, Demand Records shows no signs of slowing their already incredible pace. Clearly a nomination for one of 2011’s hottest new D&B labels.

INNA037 – Anile – Exclusion Zone – 12″ Vinyl

The flip “Code Of Conduct” by Anile & Dakosa rolls out controlled techoid fun pressure with super weighty low end sub-bass . Sinister music for the real D&B heads, perfect to mix, perfect to make you move. DJ Support Loxy, Spectrasoul, D Bridge, Total Science, S.P.Y, Lenzman, Ink, Manifest, Raiden, Spirit Instra:mental and Gremlinz, Anile is certainly one to watch in 2011.

DSM019 – June Miller – Strike Anywhere – 12″ Vinyl
With DSM having taken a turn down slightly darker paths with some of its more recent releases. Dutch uber-duo June Miller serve up two nasty half stepping tracks to continue this trend. Razor-sharp, scattering drums and growling bass pound their way unrelentingly throughout the a side ‘Strike Anywhere’ with the wailing synth line that sits a top these two elements adding a distinctly nervous, tension building atmosphere. With this outfit having made their name in the deeper, dare we say it, more ‘minimal’ side of the genre, this track shows their adeptness at creating devastating dance floor tunes too. Rising start Circa joins the fray from the B-Side ‘Glass jaw’. The subtle, tiptoeing of the intro makes way and distorted, warping bassline after the dramatic pause before the drop-people won’t know what hit’em! More crisp, 2-step beats drive the track forward while diminutive rolls on the hats and cinematic strings and chords adding points of interest throughout. This is a no holds barred straight up screw face slice of wax. You have been warned.

New D&B Promos





BMT005 – Blu Mar Ten – Five Summers / Still The One – 12″ Vinyl
Full colour sleeve. Full colour, matt sleeve designed by ithinkitsnice Blu Mar Ten – Five Summers: Destined to become the soundtrack to a thousand outdoor parties, Five Summers’ builds on the cheeky bass and lolloping rhythmic blueprint laid out by 2009’s ‘If I Could Tell You’, blossoming into a full-blown cacophony of organic and synthetic instrumentation. Heavenly guitars and choral vocals blend seamlessly with glitched out drum edits showcasing Blu Mar Ten’s unique talent for carving out a strictly sensual and feminine sound in a genre dominated by masculinity. Blu Mar Ten & Inside Info – Still The One: Following a chance meeting in a Slovakian D&B club Blu Mar Ten & InsideInfo raised a few eyebrows when they announced a collaborative project early in 2011. With a solid discography of dancefloor smashers on labels that include Critical, Viper, Mainframe, Horizons and Breed, InsideInfo is renowned for his thundering basslines and pounding drums. Coupling his skills with Blu Mar Ten’s denser orchestration has given birth to Still The One, the first mutant offspring of this unlikely musical hookup. An introduction of skittering arpeggios and hissing cinematic drones gives way to rasping bass stabs, aggressively popping house chords and a large diva vocal. Layers of 80s riffs and crafted soundscapes are all powered along by trademark InsideInfo drum-craft, proving once and for all that dominating a dancefloor doesn’t have to come at the cost of emotional content. With resident designer ithinkitsnice on artwork duties Five Summers / Still The One is a clear indication of the quality to be expected from the forthcoming Love Is The Devil LP. Blu Mar Ten & InsideInfo receive regular DJ support from: Marky, London Elektricity, Doc Scott, Futurebound, Teebee, Instra:mental, D Bridge, Hype, John B, Logistics, Ed Rush, Marcus Intalex, Utah Jazz, Makoto, Spectrasoul ,Simon Bassline Smith, Mutated Forms, Randall, Kasra, Ulterior Motive, B Complex, Apex, SPY, Craggz, DKay, Seba, Loxy, Ink, Lynx, John B, Data, Nerm & D-Kode, Annie Nightingale, Crissy Criss, Mosus, A Sides, Tom Middleton, ASC, State of Mind, Lomax, Alleycat, Big Bud and many more.

AM006 – Alaska – Boreal / Isochime – 12″ Vinyl
Alaska returns from The Mesozoic Era wilderness and drops the 6th 12” on the ambient-jungle label Arctic Music. Boreal kicks off in true Alaska fashion with vocal loops, deep bass subs, ambient horns and layers of swirling pads sending Boreal into ambient bliss, but it’s the breaks that turn the track on its head with it’s crunchy and heavy patterns that keep the head nodding and feet shuffling. Isochime see’s Alaska return to his early Good Looking Records roots with it’s mesmerising pad swirls and guitar riffs. Sine wave bass notes take care of the bottom end and just when you think everything is relaxed along comes a powerful compressed Amen break thundering like a tornado that destroys anything in it’s path. The unmistakable sound of Isochime. Timeless ambient-jungle from Alaska.

VSN011 – Noisia & Phace – Program / Regurgitate – 12″ Vinyl
Noisia’s uncompromising approach to dance music has never been more keenly felt. While they’re turning out remixes for commercial acts such as Katy Perry and Deadmau5 that sound just as filthy as any usual Noisia production, the Dutch trio are also sticking to their D&B roots with releases on their own Vision imprint. For Vision’s latest release label bosses Noisia team up with long-term collaborators, Phace, to whip up ‘Program’. As you’d expect from one of their collabs, this one is hard and heavy complete with an intense breakdown reminiscent of Wolfgang Gartner’s ‘Undertaker’. Winding bass notes finish the job and rib-crushing subs will have the dancefloor churning every time this drops. Flip over and ‘Regurgitate’ brings you in slowly, stuffing you gently with an epic atmosphere and sultry guitar licks. Looped vocals bring you up to the drop before a trademark Noisia bassline pukes all over your best dancing shoes. If this one doesn’t get people ‘going sick’ we don’t know what will!

RDR003 – Magnus / Ultrasonic7 – Summer’s Here (Break rmx) / Lips They Move (Nymfo’s moving lips VIP) – 12″ Vinyl
The second instalment of the Radar Remixes hails in two like-minded spirits that each take on a classic Belgian house track. Dutchman Nymfo takes on Ultrasonic7′s ‘Lips They Move’ and turns it into a funky summertime tune with an absolutely exquisite hiphop  break. Full vocal and full on instrumentation guarantee you’ll keep your ears to the speaker. Combining high-pitched beats, funky licks and a wobbly,  A.I.-esque bassline, Nymfo delivers something quite unlike his usual work, but does it amazingly well. Expect this to go straight to daytime radio! The producer’s producer, Mr DNAudio and Sir Synergy, the one they call Break, steps up to rework ‘Summer’s Here’ by Magnus, aka dEUS’ Tom Barman and techno legend CJ Bolland. He reconstructs the track, using vocals, Rhodes, guitar and subtle percussion, and works gently towards the drop which is as catchy as it is enticing: clean, crisp breakbeats are supported by the deepest dub style bassline you’ve heard to date and together they keep things rolling effortlessly. The previous 12″ of remixes was supported by Andy C, Danny Byrd, Simon Bassline Smith, Camo&Krooked and Hamilton, and this one has already received plays by Total Science, Netsky, SPY, Fred V & Grafix and London Elektricity

Every once in while you find a combination thats so interesting you just cant shut up about it! When FOKUZ038, the split EP from Fourward & N.Phect, was released on FOKUZ many were amazed.. In a positive way though! This time its time for a collab between the two. Fourward & NPhect deliver a superb roller thats again pure Fokuz diversity.. Sweet melodies, intro with a dreamy vocal and a heavy rolling bassline with a subtle neuro twist. ANTHEM!With ‘NOVA’ Fourward shows that they’re going onward once more.. onward to interesting directions! With the slick piano player as a theme throughout the tune and their recognisable neuro like bassline, this is another hardhitting piece of funk, a true Fokuz double A-side.

D&B Restocks CD Albums



SUICIDECD009 – Amit – 9 Times

New Bass Music CD





BUILDCD001 – Baobinga & Co. – Joint Ventures – CD
Cross the Bear Pit, away from the corporate shopping hell of Cabot Circus, and keep walking, up past the Blue Mountain club, Mickelburgh’s Pianos, and the strange church that hides behind a layer of corrugated sheet metal. Once you get past Turbo Island, home to some of Bristol’s most dedicated professional drinkers, you’re pretty much in the heart of creative Bristol – Stokes Croft. And right in the centre of Stokes Croft, housed in the basement of an disused bank vault, sits the studio Baobinga shares with I.D., the studio in which the majority of Joint Ventures was created. Across the road is Idle Hands, the new record shop that sprang from the demise of Rooted and which recently saw 2562 turn up for a 3hr in-store session. A few doors up the road is The Croft, home to Pinch’s monthly shindig Dubloaded. This is the UKs largest decriminalized graffiti zone, and new pieces from the cream of the Bristol graf scene are constantly emerging, tying the blank spaces together between chic new cafes and fried chicken joints. Right now, there’s a buzz about the place, as upmarket and no-market are forced to co-exist and build relationships. Joint Ventures, the first album-length project on Build Recordings, is fully a product of Bristol, and particularly Stokes Croft. Whether re-upping on the caffeine in the Algerian cafe across the road while uploading stems for Jack Sparrow over in Leeds, or waiting in the doorway, sheltering in the rain as Guido makes his way down from Gloucester Road, the sense of being at the centre of creative Bristol is palpable throughout. The collaboration with Mancunian house-meister xxxy started across the road from the studio with a full english breakfast at the Bank; the percussive clanks and clunks of ‘Proper’ were built by recording Kowton walking over the metal grate at the bottom of the stairs to the studio. And just as Bristol has built a reputation for an open-minded, forward thinking approach to dance music, rooted in a solid soundsystem culture and evolving through jungle and dubstep to wherever we are now, so Baobinga has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting producers operating today. Take ‘Rockfall’, the collaboration with acclaimed Purple pioneer Gemmy. Without hearing the track, maybe you’d expect Gemmy’s distinctive basslines over Baobinga’s rowdy bashment-inflected drums; but the actual product is lithe, rolling halfstep D’n'B with exquisite sonic detail. Indeed, none of the collaborations sound forced or disjointed, and none of them can be easily picked apart – a testament to the quality of musicians involved, and the wide-ranging yet still focussed approach Baobinga has brought to bear on the project. As a label, Build has received strong support from some of the most respected names operating right across dance music, from Craig Richards to Sinden, Modeselektor to Jackmaster, Mark Pritchard to Mary Anne Hobbs. On this album, Baobinga has built music with some of the most innovative producers working in dance music: Ginz, Guido, Jack Sparrow, Kowton, Geiom and more. Just as he is physically situated at the beating heart of creative Bristol, so this album confirms his position at the pulsating centre of UK bass music – thoroughly unconcerned with genre, tempo or anything other than pushing the boundaries of kinetic, percussive, colour-soaked dance music.

2NDRP12011 – LV & Message To Bears ft Zaki Ibrahim – Explode – 12″ Vinyl
The second release from south London based LV on 2nd Drop, but this one is a little different, you might say more international. Basking in the afterglow of their much hyped Kwaito inspired bomb, Boomslang on Hyperdub last year, the LV trio stick the brakes on and crank up the soulful vibes for this release. With well established roots in South Africa, a recording session at the Red Bull studios in Cape Town saw LV record a number of vocal collaborations with the honeyed-voiced Zaki Ibrahim. Zaki’s Canadian and Burmese heritage not provides her with striking looks but also politically charged ammunition for her lyrics. The third angle of this collaboration is a young band from leafy environs of Oxford. After discovering Message to Bears on YouTube trying to make more dubstep / electronic music, 2nd Drop saw the opportunity to link the disparate groups together. Explode was created, with M2B providing lush piano motifs and subtle strings. So, with such great music and beautiful vocals, we had a hard time limiting our remix options! 1st up is the mysterious Mothy with his Implosion redux. Sounding like Mount Kimbe on Novocaine, the original is dubbed, filtered and squeezed into a cerebral paste.

Lastly, dragged kicking and screaming out of 10 years of retirement, Charlie Dark, former Attica Blues-man, urban poet, and seasoned DJ, brings together a deep and rolling Theo Parrish-esque remix.

BOKALP001 – Von D – Daydreaming LP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Limited Edition 2×12” Vinyl Version of the Album, housed in a custom sleeve. ‘Daydreaming’ is the debut album release from Paris based artist Von D on Boka Records. A fusion chef of bassweight, Von D has deftly sliced into unpredictable genres, concocting strange and beautiful new forms. The album sees Von D collaborating with the internationally renowned Foreign Beggars, Phephe, David Boomah (vocalist for Shy FX Murderation), Riya & Mr Lager, while his previous work has also been remixed by a host of respected dubstep DJ’s including Skream and Tes La Rok. Born into the cultural melting pot of the Paris suburbs, Von D found his soul’s conduit in a beaten up old drum kit. Whilst the riddims of King Tubby alongside the foetal jungle of Photek and Serge Gainsborg were initial inspirations, after forging a successful path as a sound engineer Von D honed his sound sculpting skills to a razor sharp edge. Von D’s productions have been picked up by Skream, arguably one of dubstep’s most successful artists, who snapped up a release for his label Disfigured Dubs. DJ Chef released Von D’s ‘Show Me’ on his Sub Freq imprint, which quickly became one of the most talked about releases of 2009 – so much so that three time DMC World Champion DJ Craze has been supporting the track in recent mixes. Not one to be complacent, Von D’s kept up the pressure with releases on Black Acre, Tempa, Soul Jazz and Argon – enough to attract the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Gilles Peterson who has included a track for his hotly anticipated ‘Brownswood Bubblers’ compilation album. Von D has created a global buzz with his numerous explosive live performances featuring unreleased and exciting material from himself as well as other established producers. Having had a host of successful tours in the United States, Europe and China, Von D has now set his sights on touring New Zealand and Australia.

IDLE006 – Szare – Volya / Action Five – 12″ Vinyl
“It’s an exciting time for Idle Hands, as the fledgling label mutates into a many headed musical beast. After the Bristol record shop Rooted Records sold its last chunk of wax late last year, Idle boss Chris Farrell has carried the torch and opened the Idle Hands store on Stokes Croft in Bristol city centre. Just as the shop highlights Idle Hands’ dedication to its hometown, this latest release on the label marks the first time the music has come from outside the city limits. Szare will probably not be a name familiar to many, having covertly established himself on the lauded Horizontal Ground label, basking in the stamped white label anonymity of deep, troublesome 4/4. Now with this release and his Syndrom Z label, the producer steps just a little into the light to expose his unique abstractions on swung techno. ‘Volya’ ploughs a sparse and percussive furrow, while ‘Action Five’ boasts a wistful, dreamlike melodic bent to leave you with two distinctly different, but equally enthralling cuts.”

ZAUDIO023 – Depone – Test Me – 12″ Vinyl
Yes yes people, we are back!! It’s been a while, but we are going to be hitting you with some seriously good tunes this year, so watch this space. Anyway, on to the music ;) If you like you tunes big fat and heavy like an elephant on steroids, then get ready for an absolute pasting from new boy on the circuit, Depone! Depone is a producer that has really caught our ear at the Z Audio towers of late and when you hear these tunes, I’m sure you’ll understand why. All 3 tunes are fierce, dirty, gritty, disgusting and overall very well produced. The great thing about Depone is that he manages to create in your face music without pointlessly wobbling the LFO filter. There’s some real depth to this young talent and I’m sure you’ll be hearing some more great music from Depone in the very near future.

PRDM004 – Rie Lambdoll / Dub Magus From Beruit – Smell Of You (More Mix) – 10″ Vinyl
RIE LAMBDOLL, known for electronics duo CROSSBRED and respected among activities in variety of fields, and free form unit DUB MAGUS FROM BEIRUT arising from the breakup of the post hardcore band beirut5 in the search of even more inspiring sounds. 10inch split coupled with two geniuses prominent in the increasingly chaotic Osaka underground has come out!! RIE LAMBDOLL side includes deep and uplifting track “SMELL OF YOU” with electro-taste elusive bass, melancholy synths/ noise, and own voice samples flying in the atmosphere. A blissful killer-trip drowning into the aesthetic world of RIE LAMBDOLL’s harmony of beauty and darkness. Mastering and cutting done by DUB PLATES & MASTERING、RASHAD BECKER lead to bass conscious result pointing out a link between recent new breed bass music. DUB MAGUS FROM BEIRUT includes two evil minded tracks going from down tempo/ minimal dub to black metal-ish minimal hardcore. In “MARIKA”, restless wave of triple time beats calmly pushes the fetal movement deep inside, and tremolo lights illuminates the seafloor of echoes. From the subtle yet profound soundscape of spacious synths and rising noise, in “Vengeance Is Mine”, death voice, metal percussion, Chinese gong, noise etc. welters into a thrash tune. A short track of ill refrains and robust kicks lights up your impulse. Their extensive insights and upcoming works are not to be missed.

PIPS015 – Arkist – Rendezvous / Fill My Coffee – 12″ Vinyl
Apple Pips are very proud to present 2 emotive slices of bass-led dancefloor funk from another hugely talented Bristol based producer – Arkist. His reputation has been building this year, with a gorgeous melodic edge to his futuristic beats, and a unique sense of space and rhythm. Having heard his sound develop over the last year it’s a real pleasure to present 2 tracks which have been on constant rotation round here, and out in the clubs we play in… ’Rendezvous’ clashes classic 2-step garage vibes with amazing melancholy synth work to create a future bass steppa that gets an amazing response every time it is dropped… ’Fill your Coffee’ comes with a lo-slung funked out twist, culminating in a rushy pad breakdown that just sounds incredible on a big system believe me! With gigs at Fabric & two American tours under his belt, & a killer 12” with Kidkut coming on Hotflush, Arkist is poised for great things in 2011. Tracks already getting support from DJs as diverse as Ben UFO (Hessle), Boddika (Swamp 81), Alexander Nut (Eglo), Mr Scruff, & many more.

DP050 – Caspa – Fulham 2 Waterloo – 12″ Vinyl
Having passed the landmark half century in releases for Dub Police it is time to celebrate, and what better way to do so then to hand the reigns over to label head Caspa for the big 50! Following the release of the anthemic ‘Back For The First Time’ last summer on Sub Soldiers – which was vocalled by Mr Hudson as ‘Love Never Dies’ – and the brutal ‘Neck Snappah’ earlier this year, Caspa returns with the huge ‘Fulham 2 Waterloo’. Driven by a hard 4×4 kick and galloping snares, the rhythm is overlayed with the snap of the half step snare providing an impactful percussive counterpoint that flips between house and dubstep. With the tough dancefloor foundations layed, it is the sharp, rave-inflected lead hook that provides an addictive rallying cry for club audiences everywhere. Having first been aired by Annie Mac on Radio 1 back in February, it has been getting heavy club support from Atrak, Breakage, Mista Jam, Annie Mac, Zinc and Emalkay to name a few. As the man behind Dub Police, as well as affiliated labels Storming Productions and Sub Soldiers, and an irrefutably top class producer in his own right, Caspa’s influence on the scene has been profound. His continuing musical evolution and willingness to champion new talent has marked him out as an international ambassador for dubstep and he continues to spread some of the most exciting sounds to come out of the UK in years.

RS1104 – The Chain – Lostwithiel EP – 12″ Vinyl
The Chain are Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy who control things at the R&S studio. Both initially DJs from a deep house background they have begun to explore the boundaries of electronic music outside of the confines of the 4/4. The EP ranges from the uncategorisable rolling, jilted live percussionof the title track and it’s deeper, glitchy dub to the post apocalyptic, post-hardcore onslaught of Maje which tips it’s hat to the heritage of the label. Already picking up rave reviews at Little White Earbuds and from the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Appleblim, Nick Hopper and Trevor Jackson, this is just the beginning for The Chain.

New Mount Kimbie release “Carbonated EP” incoming

New Mount Kimbie release “Carbonated EP” incoming

Posted 03 May 2011 | By | Categories: news, video | No Comments

After releasing their debut album ‘Crooks and Lovers’ last summer to huge critical acclaim and racking up numerous end of year lists including the shortlist for Guardian’s First Album Award, plus sell out tours in North America, Australia and Europe, London duo Mount Kimbie announce the news of their next EP ‘Carbonated’.

Set for release on 27th June on the label Hot Flush, the EP follows the release of the ‘Blind Night Errand’ EP and will be the final release from the album.
‘Carbonated’, the lead track on the EP is joined by two previously unreleased tracks, the buoyant, effervescence of ‘Flux’ and ‘Bave’s Chords’, which showcase the lush, elegant percussive sound Mount Kimbie have become known for. ‘Bave’s Chords’ was recorded around their early EP ‘Maybes’ and ‘Flux’ was created during the album recordings.

Airhead, who’s shortly releasing his own album on Brainmath and is member of James Blakes’ live band, subtly twists ‘Carbonated’ with his remix, while Belgian producer & DJ Peter Van Hoesen creates a six minute dark techno rework for the dancefloor. ‘Adriatic’, also from ‘Crooks and Lovers’ is transformed completely by Klaus with his style of detailed production hitting the mark once more.

‘Crooks and Lovers’ defined Dominic Maker and Kai Campos as an original and exceptional duo whose musical output refuses to be pigeonholed. Abundant in paradoxes, the album floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno, post-rock, UK garage, shoegaze, indie and film scores to startling effect.

Mount Kimbie recently performed at the legendary Abbey Road in London for the new Channel 4 programme Abbey Road Debuts, see exclusive footage here:
http://www.dummymag.com/news/2011/04/24/mount-kimbie-maybes-live-video-exclusive/

One of the highlights at March’s SXSW and currently on a UK tour, Mount Kimbie will shortly head out to Europe before returning to the UK for Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds and Field Day Festivals with more to be announced soon.

New D&B Releases




SECOPS016 – Seba & Physics – Before I Can Breathe / The Music – 12″ Vinyl
Second release on secret operations this year is by Seba & Finnish Producer and DJ Physics. “Before I can breathe” is a beatiful vocal piece with a steppy beat and a typical old skool “reese bass”. The flipside “The Music” is a heavier track that starts off with eeire strings and switches to heavily distorted beats and basslines. Watch out for secops 017 by Andyskopes & Mr. Joseph.

TKRUK001 – Prolix / Gridlok & Skitty – Freeze Frame / Con Artist – 12″ Vinyl
TRENDKILL RECORDS is a brand new imprint from Prolix (Playaz, Ganjatek, Metalheadz, Virus) and with it he brings his very own brand of distinctive hard hitting drum and bass. The A Side is a solo track which has been smashing sound systems accross the globe, a true anthem to start or end any DJ set. The AA sees LA based producer Gridlok ( Project51/ Violence/RAM) team up with UKs own Skitty (Metalheadz/Foundation x) to make a track with more than equal power to the A Side.

DSM018 – Anile – Last March EP – 12″ Vinyl
Anile, DSM’s baby-faced assassin, steps up to deliver the second artist EP on the label, and one of the most talked about releases of the second half of 2010. Climbing steadily through the ranks with releases on Loxy’s Cylon imprint and the seminal Renegade Hardware label, DSM is proud to have one of the brightest production talents currently operating in drum & bass on its roster. This EP takes DSM further into the darker territory it started exploring with DSM014 & 016 and it does not disappoint. The title track of this EP is the bouncy stepper ‘Last March’. A snarling, distorted bassline has meant that this tune has found favour with numerous a-listers in recent times and is a worthy tune for the EP to be named after.On the flip, is the ferocious ‘Disaffected’. Eeerie pads and atmospheres make way for a driving drum loop and sub bass before all hell breaks loose at the drop with one of the nastiest, most twisted reese basslines heard for a very long time. The influence of labels such as the aforementioned Renegade Hardware is obvious, and it is one of, if not the, most ferocious and devastating slice of d&b ever to grace DSM.

FCR003EP – Paper Crows – Fingertips (Break Remix) / Follow The Leader E.P. – 12″ Vinyl
‘Follow The Leader’/’Fingertips’ is the second release from rising stars Paper Crows, who’ve already caught the attention of tastemakers across the blogosphere, print and radio. Follow The Leader’ is a brilliantly, dark, unsettling, underground track that comes with a top drawer remix package. Hotly tipped newcomers Megabits deliver an insanely unique widescreen drum & bass/breaks/electro hybrid, while the legend that is Break delivers another stunning drum & bass remix. ‘Fingertips’ is quite simply a stunning song oozing with wild atmospheric beauty. It has aptly been described as “the marching of dreams on a star studded night” and is already being championed by Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw. Paper Crows have been wowing audiences with their live shows with sultry singer Emma Panas mesmerising with her spectral vocals and dramatic stage presence. With still less than a dozen gigs under their belt, they’ve already supported the likes of Jamie Woon and Clock Opera. Their next show is at the Barfly in Camden on the 4th February. They’ll be playing alongside Anna Calvi and Sparrow & The Workshop as part of HMV’s Next Big Thing festival. The pair are currently in the studio recording their debut album.

AT010 – Survival, Octane & DLR – Afterglow / Spectrum – 12″ Vinyl
After the storming success of “Grahams Tunnel” and “Bullet” from Survival and Silent Witness. Audio tactics kick off 2011 with quality collaboration with this year’s hottest duo DLR & Octane. Spectrum brings out the best out of Survival’s crisp, tight beats and trademark soundscapes along with DLR and Octane’s fat twisted basslines and high quality production to give you epic, rolling stomper.

After Glow is a more subtle affair, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that this won’t do damage. Sweet, delicate drum work and sublime bass manipulation, intricate vocal stabs and space age FX make this a track not to mess with, trust! With radio and club support from the like of Hype, Break, Spy, Ant TC1, Skeptical, Teebee, Fierce, Ed Rush, Doc Scott, C4C and Alix Perez.

MODULE006 – Vicious Circle & Jubei – Deliberate – 10″ Vinyl
Moving on from the last heavy hitting Modulations release and we’re treated to an even more sturdy effort from two names that need no introduction. A bit of a dream collaboration between Vicious Circle and Metalheadz man Jubei, and where better place to serve it up than from Critical’s Modulations imprint. ‘Cloak & Dagger’ wastes no time and kicks off with a solid stepping break as eerie space warped pads wrap around to suck us deep into the wormhole. Heinous bass slams on this sound system killer, perfect for some late night 3am entertaining and leaves us in no doubt of a properly undiluted low-slung king of the rollers. Nasty, naughty but nice. Sliding perfectly into the second slab and ‘Deliberate’ continues much in the same vein but it manages to up the ante with some even more sickening bassline action. Running percussion increases the pace whilst the bass stabs take it up another notch for a heads down, no nonsense slice of D&B goodness. Never fails. DJ support from Alix Perez, Rockwell, Lenzman, Kasra, D Bridge and more.

H-LINE26 – Paul Blackout – Curse On One Self / All You MFs – 12″ Vinyl
Hardline boss Paulblackout returns with two heavy dnb/hardcore crossover tracks, to follow on from the broken, deep beats of the previous Leepshec release. “Curse on one self” features tough sounding vampire samples and builds up to a crazy drop which will have you throwing shapes and playing air drums like a madman (or woman) On the flip is “all you MFs” which makes use of an amusing cartoon sample and stomps along to a halftime breakdown with double kickdrums to activate fist pumping mode. Vinyl release also includes an evil illustration by Camila Carmody, with DJ support from DJ Hidden, DJ Producer, Simon Underground, Mark N and more. This is how we’re kickin it…..

SS015 – Thought – Resist / Holism – 12″ Vinyl
Soothsayer returns with its twentieth vinyl plate and proudly presents the addition of SS015 and artist Thought to the roster. Hailing from Sofia, Bulgaria Ivan Sotirov (Thought) has quickly built a reputation for employing the hardest beats to be had in Eastern Europe. Having played Therapy Sessions and released a 12″ on the famed UK label, Obscene, Thought rise to prominence continues with his Soothsayer debut – a slab of heavy tribal breaks and halfstep riddims dubbed up plenty of dark bass. Resist is a dark tribal affair with grinding mid rage bass and intricate percussion. Stylistically the tune yields the best elements of a steppa, a roller, and a stormer all meld together in a tightly weld concoction of brutality. Bludgeoning beats and corrosive bass for the dubwize massive and rivetheads alike. Holism is a sinister tribal half steppa that has previously been slated for release by Loxy and Tech Itch. We at Soothsayer were elated to acquire Holism to complete this epic double a sided offering. Pumping sub bass pads, mid range dirt, and tribal dub manoeuvres govern this track. Robust enough to appeal to junglists and dubsteppers alike, Holism is a blazing wedge of outright aural wretchedness.

After releasing his debut EP ‘Max Power’ for Planet Mu in 2010, contributing to the excellent Night Slugs Allstars Vol. 1 and Modeselektion Vol. 1 compilations, Optimum returns on Hum + Buzz with two sci-fi, dancefloor tracks. ‘Light Year’ is a 4X4 time travelling excursion through brass rhythms, dotted arpeggios and razor sharp percussion. Gangsta techno meets UK bass, a crossover that Optimum seems to be making his own. On the B side ‘DS10’, named after (and partly made on) the Korg software for the Nintendo DS, is a menacing march that progresses into the unknown. All superfluous elements are discarded; the track focuses squarely on the relentless bassline and unpredictable 808 drum pattern. With these minimal ingredients combined, DS10 is a certified sound system bomb!

OSMUK012 – DJ Madd – Pitch Black / New Reality – 12″ Vinyl
DJ Madd has been killing it recently. It’s another knee-slapping combination drenched in powerful vibes and both tunes are nasty, guttural affairs sure to make your eyeballs rattle. The sound of the release as whole is a little reminiscent of Distance, with crunchy basslines rasping and snarling like enraged wolves savaging a couple of fwuffy wittle bunnies. Thankfully, I love both Distance and bloody carnage, so this is a cracker. words by http://www.boxmusique.com/dj-madd-pitch-black-new-reality-osmuk012

TEC048 – Pinch & Loefah / Pinch & Roska – Broken / Paranormal Activity – 12″ Vinyl
With only one collaboration (alongside fellow DMZ stalwart SGT Pokes under the name ASBO, also for Tectonic) seeing light of day in the last three and a half years, it really has been a long time since dubstep pioneer and producer extraordinaire Loefah ventured out on wax. Responsible for originating the half-step beat in dubstep that came to dominate so much of the scene – with groundbreaking early titles such as ‘Horror Show’, ‘System’ and ‘Ruffige’ – Loefah’s beats always had huge impact on the dancefloor as well as in the studios of other beat-makers, caught by the power of his sound. More recently he’s become predominately focused on his genre challenging DJ sets as well as running his hugely successful Swamp 81 imprint, so this rare studio excursion with Tectonic label boss Pinch is a treat for all to behold. ’Broken’ starts with a single delaying hat splash as swirling white noise rises from beneath with gale force strength. This relatively gentle moment is soon disturbed by the menacing sound of a tearing bass hit – a twisted sound layered in weighted sub power. Tense pads with distorted edges add to the build before everything pulls out to silence allowing a perfectly timed drop. In comes the full weight of bass as a pounding 808-style rhythm drops – complete with head cracking snares and swung hats – as the main bass sound punches through, ‘Broken’ embarks on a master class in minimal effectiveness. An unmissable collaborative effort between two studio heavyweights, and just how dubstep is meant to sound. Flip for an equally exciting joint effort from Pinch and rising UK Funky and Rinse FM star Roska. Nomi-nated by DJ Mag for the prized title of Producer Of The Year in 2010, Roska is known more for his 130bpm funky productions but this collaboration takes the tempo up to 140bpm for an exercise in rhyth-mical maximality – a frantic but rolling conga workout session. Meticulous drum programming is layered with dark reverbed sonics, spooky pads and a gut wrenching sub bass line guaranteed to cause stomach upset on the right systems. ‘Paranormal Activity’ will summon the ancient spirits so be careful where you drop it. All told, this plate is an essential purchase for true fans of the original dubstep vibe.

TEC049 – Addison Groove – This Is It / Make Um Bounce – 12″ Vinyl
Massive new Tectonic 12″ from man of the moment – Bristol’s very own Addison Groove. Tony Williams aka Addison Groove appeared last year with the anthem ‘Foot Crab’ on Loefah’s impeccable Swamp 81 imprint. Anyone who has been to a dubstep dance in the last year will have likely heard the original or one of many VIP mixes and re-edits of this infectious monster of a tune – or at least seen it listed on count-less end of year ‘best of’ lists and DJ charts more recently. Taking in elements of the Chicago Juke/Footwork scene and bringing in a knowledge of bass heavy dub-step production (as acquired during his former incarnation as Headhunter), Addison Groove has already made a huge, rippling impression on dance music across the world. The world has been holding tight for more Addison Groove ever since, and hot on the tails of a recent fol-low up on Swamp 81 is this excellent 12″ for Tectonic, featuring some of his best work yet. ‘This Is It’ is a bubbly 138bpm dance floor banger, laden with pounding sub-heavy 808 kicks and soul-scraping claps, blending bass science with original Chicago attitude in a way that only Addison Groove can do. The whole rhythm is lifted by rave-flavoured bleeps and blips chiming out in a melodic progression as vocal samples sound out on top. Absolutely enormous tune! Flip for the slower tempo, yet just as danceable ‘Make Um Bounce’. Hitting in at 133bpm, this 4/4 rhythm is getting hammered by everyone from Jackmaster to James Zabeila and as soon as you hear the first kick drum hit, you’ll know why! Very aptly titled, this tune WILL make you bounce! Bass heavy and full of booty bouncing badness!

ZIQ293 – Chrissy Murderbot – Bussin Down EP – 12″ Vinyl
‘Bussin Down’ is the first Planet Mu single from Chrissy Murderbot, who comes with a style inspired by his chosen city of Chicago’s Juke and Footwork scenes. He playfully mixes in elements of other styles of music he loves, such as R’n'B and Dancehall, to create lively mutations with a warm hearted mass appeal that comfortably straddles genres. ’Bussin Down’ features Chicago footwork supremo DJ Spinn over some tasty footwork tracks featuring Spinn’s instructional lyrics, over some high speed jazz funk and cracking claps and klaviers. Next track ‘Braaain’ is a unique amalgam of footwork with the classic early digital sleng teng bassline. The blend works fantastically, as Chrissy slides the originals vocal in and out of the mix in a dub style. On the B-side Atki2 takes album track ‘The Vibe Is So Right’ featuring vocals from MC Zulu and runs it through a lush treatment that mixes Detroit washes with tight, laidback, rolling funky house drums, to instant classic effect. On B2, Chicago footwork pioneers DJs Rashad and Spinn send the originals vocal into a whirl of complex delays and layered loops over cold drums and hard techno stabs. Just the faintest taste of what is In store on The M-Bot’s incredible ‘Women’s Studies’ album due soon on Planet Mu.

BR006 – Swindle – Mood Swings EP – 12″ Vinyl
Croydon’s own Swindle gets 2011 off to a great start with his first release on the grime label of the mo-ment, Butterz. The funk-obsessed producer delivers an exercise in dark half-step on the title tune ‘Mood Swings’ with all the funky riffs and synths that fans of ‘Airmiles’ have grown to love since he debuted with that track on Planet Mu. ’Bebop’ is a more light-hearted affair with chopped-up vocoder vocal samples coupled with subtle piano keys fading in and out between the up-tempo beat pattern. ’Trending Topic’ is one for lovers of Starkey and Terror Danjah alike, as it combines the organic energy of grime with the quirkiness of Swindle’s funk influenced synth patterns. Having already gained support from Starkey, Alexander Nut, Scratcha DVA and DJ Q, the ‘Mood Swings EP’ is shaping up to be yet another instant classic from Swindle and the Butterz label.

HDR003 – P-Jam – Anger Management EP – 12″ Vinyl
Grime has been clawing its way back to the centre of underground UK music in a big way recently, riding a new wave of credibility in futurist iterations from Terror Danjah, Hyperdub, and Butterz. But with the rising profile of figures like Slackk and the eski-aping sound of Becoming Real and sometimes Jam City, there’s been a pseudo-lionization and a growing mythology surrounding classic grime. Honestly, it’s been a long time coming; the music is legendary for a reason. Terror Danjah’s new(ish) Hardrive label takes a bold step in 2011 with a sharp look back-ward, and in typically cyclical fashion it feels perfectly now. Dating all the way back to 2004, P Jam’s ‘Anger Management’ is a minimal monster of a tune, slamming with the same slurred and blurred percussive elements of Wiley’s essential ‘Ice Rink’. But it’s the oddly distant, echoed vo-cal grunts and dirty (grimy?) morphing bassline that really push it into the ‘classic’ category. ‘Anger Management’ simply sounds rough, dirty, and raw, like it could barely be rendered by whatever archaic software produced those sounds. ‘Samba’ is from around the same time, and it shares in the same cheap, dulled aesthetic, built out of synth guitar and screeching tires, heavy on the bongos to boot. But you can’t accuse Terror of living in the past, as he rounds out his label’s third release with a brand new track from the veteran producer. Comparatively lush, ‘Sorefoot’ is heavy on the synth sounds, the careful percussion relegated to nudging the track along instead of dominating. It’s fascinating to hear P Jam dress up his classic-leaning sound in shiny new clothes, and heartening that even after all these years he’s evidently still going strong. Even as grime gathers together a promising wave of new producers, there’s life left in its progenitors, and Hardrive

3024012 – Addison Groove – It’s Got Me / Minutes Of Funk – 12″ Vinyl
In which 3024′s West Country takeover continues unabated with Addison Groove as one of 2010′s most celebrated Producers fires off a pair of brand new exclusives. ‘It’s Got Me’ drags a cornerstone of classic hip hop into the 21st century with trademark spasmodic Chicago drum acrobatics and vocal splicing working the track into a frenzy while his less acknowledged way with gauzy analogue textures never allow things to slip into the trap of dance floor bludgeon. Minutes Of Funk dials back the ferocity just enough to open up extra space for more luxurious synth washes and increasingly intricate rhythmic shifts as interlocking traces of dance floor past combine to form the thinking mans set opener.

HENCH026 – Lost Ft. Beezy – Snake Eyes / Escape From The Womb – 12″ Vinyl
Lost has come a long way since he took the first steps on his journey into music. As a 12-year old, Lost found ‘Big Apple Records’ in Croydon and embarked upon becoming a DJ. Now a fully-fledged member of H.E.N.C.H, this prodigy has been responsible for some of the most sub shaking releases to have been let forth from the Bristol label’s catalogue to date. A: Snake Eyes (Ft. Beezy) – Lost teams up with Hench’s new signing Beezy. For those that know, you can bet that any track with Beezy’s name on is going to be sordidly sinister. And ‘Snake Eyes’ is no exception. The track commences with an industrial and hazardous sounding scene that’s soon met with Beezy’s catchy hook. Things are teed-up fittingly for a creeping baseline that weaves amongst the dripping backdrop. Before the low-end truly takes you somewhere else, Beezy rejoins with an ever-ominous lyrical gesture to seal the dread-inducing vibe that Lost has created with this charismatic production. AA: Escape from the Womb – In all of Lost’s productions, he’s enigmatic in creating a feeling with his tracks from the get-go. What seems like a calm and atmospheric intro quickly thrusts you toward something you’d be forgiven for not expecting. When that high-voltage bass rhythm gets your attention, sit back, you’re in for the ride. Metallic overtones and pulsating groove make ‘Escape from the Womb’ a genuinely progressive number. This was built to tear dance floors to the ground and has already been doing some serious damage.

Hessle Audio present “116 & Rising” LP

Hessle Audio present “116 & Rising” LP

Posted 18 April 2011 | By | Categories: news, tracks | No Comments

Curated by the imprint’s three co-founders – Ben UFO, Pangaea and Pearson Sound (AKA Ramadanman) – the CD version is comprised of 12 brand new tracks tracks, with contributions from every single producer who’s previously released a 12″ on Hessle, plus a couple of guests, and a second disc collecting previously released highlights from the catalogue.

That means fresh heat not just from Pangaea and Pearson Sound but also Blawan, Joe, Elgato, Untold, Cosmin TRG, Peverelist, James Blake and Addison Groove, and a couple of unexpected treats – such as D1‘s never-before-released archive cut ‘Subzero’ and a killer from the hitherto little-known Randomer. Most of the tracks on Disc 2 are modern dancefloor classics, and hardly require any introduction – among them Martyn’s eerily suspended, deeply affecting remix of TRG’s ‘Broken Heart’, Untold’s none-more-livewire ‘I Can’t Stop This Feeling’, Pangaea’s ‘Why’ and James Blake’s ‘Buzzard & Kestrel’ (a track he’s arguably yet to better).

The new tracks will constitue the vinyl edition of 116 & Rising, which is a 12″ triple-pack; the striking artwork on both CD and vinyl editions is by Will Bankhead. Oh, and there’ll be a launch party for the album at London’s XOYO club on Friday 13 May.

New D&B Releases




OK022 – Meth & 2Shy – Treatment EP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Meth has been working hard from his base in the South of the UK and has been creating a monster to unleash for Offkey Music. His initial solo releases for Offkey brought much attention and dance floor destruction. Quickly people realised that Meth was a force not to be underestimated. This is first full length project and Offkey are very happy to be releasing it. Meth has gathered a stellar cast for The Treatment EP – and that cast extends to 2shy, Manifest & Zo. Let us get treated. a) Meth & 2Shy (feat. Zo) – Front-line 2Shy lays down a vocal that leaves no confusion as to his intent, Meth lays down a killer kick snare and bass combo that brings the dance floor pain like only he knows how. The mysterious Zo slides onto the rhythm and underpins 2Shy’s presence on the track with her spoken word style, putting emphasis on the main hook effortlessly. Bongos bring up the pace on the chorus and before you know it your nodding your head and singing along to the ‘Front-line’. b) Meth, Manifest & 2Shy - RockForte Another artist is introduced to the fold is B-Boy Aficionado Manifest, south London authority on all things hip hop, the friendship with 2Shy has developed over years and now they feature on the knock bass killer ‘Rockforte’. A lilting dub vocal hangs over the breakdown signalling to a drop that just demands to be heard. A mid set roller that features enough edits and twists to keep the floor moving and keeps those gun fingers in the air. Mid bass growls all over the beat encouraging that all important screw face. All together now…. “Too heavyweight, too heavyweight” c) Meth & 2Shy – Not the one This is TRADEMARK 2shy, lets not get it twisted- infact there is no way you could “The bass drops, the place erupts, the crowd shouts FUCK OFF”.  When 2shy gets on a track- this is what you want. Aggravated, unshakeable and uncompromising. and again- just incase you wondered- “FUCK OFF”. Meth and 2shy show again that this may well be an ongoing collaboration- this EP is like a fist to the face, and ‘Not the one’ is the middle finger of said fist. d) Meth – Snake Eyes Meth closes proceedings with menacing Snake Eyes, A perfect title for the sinister track that whips midrange and suffocates you with low end. High hats and cymbals give movement to the drums and add a body move factor that will have the dance floor in eyes down, shock out mode no doubt!

GEN175005 – Switch Technique – Did / Exo – 12″ Vinyl
Switch Technique is the first artist to get a solo release on The Outside Agency’s groundbreaking crossover label One Seven Five. So, what does this mean? It means that he has pulled off that which only very few can manage: he mixed hardcore kickdrums and drum & bass snares into what has become known as crossbreed.. and he made it sound good. DID is a deep dive into the mind of a psychopath, continuously hammered by gutwrenching kickdrum one hundred and seventy-five times per minute. EXO on the flip strips the crossbreed sound down to its bare exoskeleton. Go on, put on the exoskeleton and see for yourself!

RDR002 – Shameboy / Buscemi – Strobot – NETSKY rmx / Seaside – KG rmx – 12″ Vinyl
Murdock’s Radar Records launches an entirely new project, backed by some of the biggest names in drum&bass. Remixing a gang of classic Belgian non-dnb tracks by the likes of T99, Sound of Stereo, The Subs, Outlander and many more, they kick off the series with massive drum&bass reworks by none other than Netsky and KG. Drum & Bass’ new poster boy / boy wonder Netsky steps to the plate with the awesomeness that is his version of Shameboy’s classic electro banger ‘Strobot’, which was the first tune in his BBC Radio1 Essential Mix and has had a lot of exposure worldwide, as his Mix was voted 3rd best Essential Mix of the year 2010! The track has had spins by Andy C, Danny Byrd, Camo & Krooked and many more. KG ripped up Buscemi’s laidback house classic ‘Seaside’ and turned it into a dancefloor stomper. Opening with funky licks and classic breaks, he quickly rolls into a big jump-up monster, while still adding some vocals and rhodes piano for good measure. This one is being caned by Bassline Smith, Hamilton and Zen, to name just a few. Next up in the Radar Remixes series are contributions by Nymfo, Blame, Crystal Clear, Break, Marky & SPY and many more, so keep your eyes and ears pealed!

New D&B Promos




NOMIC006 – ASC – Starkwood / Reform – 12″ Vinyl
How and why these two tracks got pushed so far back in the autonomic release schedule is anyones guess. These two cuts are arguably ASC’s biggest to date (perhaps with the exception of ‘The Touch’), and two tracks that go a long way in defining the early sound of the autonomic movement. Finally they are going to see the light of day however, news that is sure to satisfy the baying hoards of hungry autonomic devotees that have waited so long and so patiently for their release. Starkwood is about dancefloor as Autonomic has ever gotten and probably will ever get – the pounding kick drum, coupled with the rhytmical, shuffling tribal percussion is infectious and guaranteed to get heads nodding and bodies moving. Reform is on a totally different vibe altogether with its breathy vocal snippets and detroit-ish synths giving it a silky, sultry feel.

P51UK022 – Cern – True Talk / Doubledown – 12″ Vinyl
Cern releases the sampler to the forthcoming album ‘Terminus’ on Project 51. Cern describes “Terminus” as “an album that takes its roots from Techstep and funk driven D&B,” going on to say “the album reflects the inspiration gained from his long standing admiration for producers like Ed Rush & Optical, Matrix, Konflict and Source Direct”, incorporating the sound they represented at a time, in his opinion, when Drum & Bass was “at its peak”

Are you ready? I say.. ARE YOU READY?!?! Cause it’s time for some disturbance so you’d better get out your blast suits and your bulletproof vests. Zero Method is up for some rolling action with their tunes Atomizer & Marco Polo. Atomizer keeps it steady with perfectly pinpointed hi hats and drums, while the fierce bass line corrodes the foundations. This one packs a giant punch when executed properly, a serious tune for the techy minded people Next up is Marco Polo. This one will take you into the uncharted realms of neuro tech, no cheesy loudness business just straight up drums & basses. A chest rattler like nothing you ever heard before. Let this one teleport you into the deeper layers tech dnb has to offer. Fans of Silent Witness & Break better have checked this one out.

SUBTLE015 – Equinox – Meecha – 12″ Vinyl
Marlon Sterling aka Equinox cements his reputation as one of the D&B scenes most versatile, single-minded and dextrous beat manipulators on his latest in a long catalogue of brain-bending releases. The incendiary opener to a now infamous Equinox & Bailey set at Technicality in 2003 – “Meecha” finally sees the light of day. Originally completed in 1996 on an Amiga computer, the tune has lost none of its appeal 15 years on and it’s all the better for the audible crunch on the amen beats. This is one of the very best tunes from Equinoxs unreleased DAT library, and that’s saying something !! “So many people out here who make different styles of music you know – this music is something that they feel”. The repeated mantra at the opening of the flip side prepares you for an altogether different experience to what went before. Made in 2009 but with a definite nod to the oldskool style, “Your Love’s So Cold” is poignant, heartfelt D&B at its very best. The arrangement deftly builds to a beautiful swell of echoed vocals, icey-atmospherics and rolling beats and bass. Just like the A Side, this one is certain to defy fashions and trends and will be just as moving in 2024.

LS010 – Nphonix – Third Eye / False Flag – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Nphonix is celebrated as a paragon of stylistic diversity, constant progression and engineering craftsmanship amongst producers and listeners alike, with a sound and discography spanning everything from drum ‘n bass to hard techno. His latest release on the prestigious Lost Soul imprint is no exception to this standard. The A-side, ‘Third Eye’, descends like the bellow of some unfathomable machine coming to life, as frenetic techno stabs ride a ferocious shockwave of bass driven by bristling percussion. The flip, ‘False Flag,’ beckons with signature lushness and beautiful harmonies before propelling the listener back into a maelstrom of speaker destroying furor, with a stunning second drop sure to blow minds and rattle ribcages. Both pieces are tied together with the gritty yet crystalline production quality fans have come to expect from this stalwart innovator. This record is a testament to an artist’s uncompromising vision and a label’s reputation for impeccable taste.

The continuation of this innovative series sees the who’s who of hard Drum & Bass collaborate on some massive dance floor tunes. As can be expected from Counterstrike and Receptor, Vampires combines pure filth with Nuero that’ll have you begging for a rewind.

DP049 – KGB – Ghetto Blasta 2010 / Hands Up – 12″ Vinyl
Estonian duo KGB step up for their debut release on Dub Police and they certainly aren’t pulling any punches. The production partnership hit you with two cuts of pure dance floor energy and impact that display their versatility and uncanny knowledge of how to get a crowd going. If you don’t know about KGB, you better get to know, as they are quickly establishing themselves as one of the rising stars in underground dance music. With plenty of tricks up their sleeves, there will be no stopping them in 2011! ‘Ghetto Blaster 2010’ draws upon different elements of underground bass music and melds them together in to something entirely unique and undeniably infectious. Taking the growling midrange bass-weight of dubstep and wiring it to a militant UK Funky drum march, KGB give the track an unstoppable momentum and punishing impact that is impossible to fight against – With an artillery that includes fire like this, it is no wonder they are quickly paving their path to the top. On the flipside, KGB deliver something very different. Pinned down by the tough half-step drum pattern, ‘Hands Up’ is all about the maniacal intertwining bass lines. When this track drops there is no denying its fierce, in-your-face power.

Now.. We know A LOT of people have been waiting for this one so without further delays we present Matt-U’s highly anticipated ‘Watchin’U EP’ The title track ‘Watchin’U’ has been cained by the likes of Skream, 16Bit, Mensah, Von D, Madd, N-Type, Nicon, Akkachar, Noah D, The Others and who know who else.. Matt-U brings back the Dubstep sound from back in the day and updates it in a way only he can do. Reminding you a lot of the eski grime stuff but also a lot of the older DMZ vibes. A serious riddem in these times and an essential one for in the bag.. Turn the lights off put on your hood and skank out! On the B1 Matt takes on a lighter form with ‘Down with You’ a lush sweet rnb like stepper that’ll met like butter in your hands.  The thick bass line underneath the light surface is one that rattles like a heavyweight so don’t be mistaken by its looks.  They say girls respond to bass.. just saying.. B2 serves up ‘Magma’. This dark productions sounds like the bubbly lava inside the belly of a volcano..

LIME004 – Jade & Matt-U – Echoes – 12″ Vinyl
Lime Dubz keep on cracking with another too hot to handle release.. The long time duo Jade & Matt-U are reunited once again but not for getting back to their dnb roots. No Jade teams up with Matt-U for some highly technical Dubstep sounds.. Grindhouse on Jade’s Venom LP was just a taster of what was to come.. With Grindhouse still freshly engraved into our memories it’s time to unleash it on vinyl.. But now with 2 brand spanking new heavyweights on there.. Echoes is a sinister roller that’s all over the place bouncing left right up and down there’s no defending against this monster track.. Instead of going all tear out they crossover to a more medi hybrid sound that will suit well with Dubsteppers of all ages.. The last new track on the 12 is Pump. You guys are thinking it.. and we can confirm.. Yes this is a bass line monster if there ever was one. Grab all of your PA’s boys and girls and turn up the volume to max cause its only happening when your chest starts rattlin..

CIV017 – Reso – Valken EP / War Machine – 12″ Vinyl
Forever spawning the next generation of bass mutations, Civil Music’s Reso brings an unsurpassed low-end density and textured sound that decidedly makes genres redundant. Wobble, hypercrunk, glitch, hip hop, dubstep, industrial and D&B all blend together for a concoction that only Reso can create, and one that consistently redefines the electronic sphere. In-between working with Hospital Records (with Slap Chop) and remixing the likes of Drop The Lime, Foamo, Qemists and dEbruit (among others), with ‘War Machine / Valkan’ Reso is setting the precedence for 2011, giving the bass world a fierce blueprint to follow. Make no mistake: ‘War Machine / Valkan’ is not a record for the faint-hearted. It’s certainly not suitable background music, and probably should come equipped with an explicit NSFW label. It will, however, be a record for discerning listeners who appreciate the subtleties and complexities that go into high-tech productions that carry this much conceptual and compositional weight, as is always the case with London’s chameleonic and many-masked mastermind. This is the sound of the end of the world, of machines breaking and technology folding, when all that’s left is carnal rage and chaos. A forceful onslaught of sound, the four tracks on Reso’s ‘War Machine / Valkan’ EP intricately mesh high amp leads and emphatic beats that entrance any dancefloor into riotous frenzy. Brutal rhythms command and frequencies drop as ‘War Machine’ kicks things off: a most fitting title for the ominous sounds of all hell breaking loose, where nothing – and no one – will remain in one piece. The rugged sonic explosion is carefully measured, as tearing beats fly recklessly like vicious shrapnel slamming against tough, concrete bass walls. ‘Expansion Ratio’ teases with elements of a break from the chaos, and then slams back down with bumping melodies and hyperactive leads. ‘Syndicate’ takes a page out of the tech end of the D&B book, but with drum patterns that change so unexpectedly, heads will be thrown into another bass dimension. A mastery of rhythm and warm synth-laden fills, the EP does tease with a wash of hope, with his expansive ‘Aethra’ conjuring the peaceful feeling of the early atmospheric tracks of Photek and Bukem. Yet a calm shuddering bassline serves as a foreboding reminder of where the EP has just come from, and that perhaps the peace may not last long. We’ll just have to wait and see what lies await in Reso’s next project: his debut album due later in 2011 on Civil Music.

NONPLUS011 – Lowtec – Wonderkidd / Looser – 12″ Vinyl
The ball is certainly rolling in 2011 and next up is a treat from Germanys Lowtec. Founder of highly respected label Workshop he makes his UK label debut on Nonplus Records with two fresh cuts of analogue goodness. a) Lowtec ‘Wonderkidd’ ‘Wonderkidd’ greets us with a vocal sample that morphs keys with a low-fi piano chord before the discordant groove of the main riff comes into effect. Analogue synths dance around the deep chord groove with early detroitisms flexing between a repeating bleeped out pattern. Hypnotic key stabs sink you deeper into the tune that shows us why Lowtec is one of Berlin’s top underground button pushers. aa) Lowtec ‘Looser’ The warm hiss of anaolgue beats starts off the excellent AA tune ‘Looser’. Dabs of a.m radio vocals progress the tune amongst a myriad of discreet electronic bleeps that escalate and scatter around the rhythm. Coarsely sampled ‘Shakir-like’ string chords provide the main sequence to set off this excellent tune. One for the deeper heads out there.

Since the release of his debut “Hyph Mngo” that swept the global dance music world in 2009, British producer Peter O’Grady (aka Orbison) makes his return on Hotflush Recordings as Joy O in 2011. These two productions take a more straightforward approach, toeing along the lines of classic house music, infused with this talented producer’s own signature style, weaving rolling acidic basslines in “Wade In” and uplifting melodies in “Jels” and over shuffling Roland drums and blissful atmospherics.

HENCH023 – MRK1 – Dirty Dubstep Music – 12″ Vinyl
Having been perfecting his production skills for the last 10 years, Mrk 1 is no newcomer to the world of bass-led music. A member of Manchester’s infamous ‘Virus Syndicate’, he’s become internationally recognised as a huge dubstep talent. So when HENCH got the opportunity, they jumped at the chance to sign two typically down-right dark and dirty numbers from the man like Mrk 1… A. DIRTY DUBSTEP MUSIC ‘I want girls, drink, drugs and music’ aren’t the type of lyrics you’re going to find on a Cliff Richard record. And this track is about as far away as you can get from that! Get ready for a relentlessly switching bass rhythm that takes you every which way direction. The vibe on this production is one of darkest dread and fits perfectly at home in a dark & dingy club at some ungodly hour of the morning. Mrk 1 has carefully crafted space around the bass-riff to make sure that nothing takes away from it hitting you where it hurts. AA. SHOUT Mrk 1 guides us in with an innocent facade; a playful vocal coupled with a light-tempoed high hat. But as things draw nearer to the drop the creeping low-end in the background makes it clear that other intentions are in mind. When that twisted bassline drops ‘Shout’ takes on a far more forbidding atmosphere. Mrk 1 has created something that bass-heads have been swinging from the rafters for every time, screaming for the rewind. Take heed of our words when we tell you that ‘Shout’ is going to cause damage!

RS1102 – Blawan – Bohla EP – 12″ Vinyl
R&S welcome another newcomer to the family. With only one release behind him on Hessle Audio and a wicked remix for Warp (The Hundred In The Hands) Blawan finds his new tracks in demand from the likes of James Blake, Jackmaster, Untold, Ben UFO, Ramadanman and Pariah. The title track is already creating a bit of a stir from its inclusion in a few high profile dj sets, but all three tracks raise the game for this young producer. The whole ep is filled with an honest, infectious energy, just like his dj sets. You can’t pigeonhole this as ‘post’ anything, its pure, stripped down, club music. Sometimes drums, bass and acid is all you need.

OTE014 – Indigo – Zero Point E.P. – 12″ Vinyl x 2
On the Edge are back with a new EP from Indigo! He first made his debut for On the Edge early 2009 with a collaboration with Synkro called “Alabama” and “Turning”. Then Indigo went on to produce 2 solo singles for On the Edge 8 and 9 that I would describe as true masterpieces. Dubby, Techno, industrial and gritty to the core! If you haven’t checked any of those releases out, then I would say “Not Alone”, “Home” and “Cosmos” are all well worth a listen. He is one of the most talented producers I have ever heard and extremely diverse in production styles. He never sticks to formulas and his musical knowledge and passion for diversity really shines though in his music. “Zero point” is a mix of wonderfully produced soundscapes that show us what Indigo is all about. DJ Support: Scuba, Russell Deeks , D Bridge , Reso , Spam Chop, DFRNT, Rob Booth Walsh, Dj Rum Distal, Truth.

SMOKE013 – Lewis B – Dark Coulds – 12″ Vinyl
If you’re into a bit of Dubstep with a Jazzy twist, then I’m sure Lewis B is a name that you’re very familiar with. It’s a style of Dubstep that is really taking shape and Lewis is riding that ever increasing moment that surrounds this beautiful sound. Lewis has such a deep knowledge of Jazz, ranging from the likes of Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Wes Montgomery, all the way to the more modern twist on Jazz, like Jazzanova and Quantic. “Dark Clouds” screams out Lewis B and reminds me a little of “Pinball”, but in so many ways extremely different and unique. Then we have Synkro on the remix duties, but a first for Smokin Sessions, it’s a D+B remix!!!! The sound seems to amalgamate genres where BPM are merely a speed, but has a definite distinct flavor. I think its such a refreshing sound and love the minimal deepness that the genre brings to electronic music. DJ Support: D Bridge, LTJ Bukem, DFRNT, Dj Rum Reso Loxy, Alexander Nut, 16bit, Pathaan, Tayo, Kissy Sell out, Shimon, Distal, Rob Booth, Freq Nasty, DJ Flight, Nerm (BBC Radio 1) and Akira Kiteshi!

SR013 – JFB ft. Christina Nicola – Rise / Ruffneck Rmx – 12″ Vinyl
JFB, the Brighton-based master turntablist, DMC champion and coordinator (alongside Beardyman) of the legendary Battlejam events returns to Sludge Records with yet another speaker-bustin’ musical onslaught. If you liked Duckjam and his previous collaborations with Ed Solo then this release of full-on phat beats and dub bass pressure will blow your minds, and your eardrums. Main cut ‘Rise’ teases you in with atmospheric tones and eerie pads before the angelic voice of Christina Nicola takes you into a dreamy state of euphoria, only for a big beefy knee-trembling bassline to come crashing in and drag you kicking and screaming into hedonistic oblivion. This is one of those tracks that are designed for those special 4am moments that make you hug speakers and pull bassfaces so intense you’ll end up chewing off your own eyebrows. On the flip is something a bit special for all the skanking soldiers. ‘Ruffneck’ is a track by Elijah MC, a street entertainer from the south of England who uses his beatboxing skills and vocal looping tools to create dub-influenced songs that range from trip hop through to drum ‘n’ bass. The track here is a firing ragga-flavoured dubstep remix from our man JFB and it is H.E.A.V.Y. Showing off his highly accomplished production skills from start to finish, the skippy beats, earthquake-inducing subs and roots-style vocals are perfectly combined to make this one a dead cert for sheer dancefloor devastation, and prove once again why he’s one of the most sought after and entertaining artists on the scene.

Hotflush Recordings present “BACK AND 4TH”

Hotflush Recordings present “BACK AND 4TH”

Posted 03 February 2011 | By | Categories: news, tracks | No Comments

With dubstep’s big push into the mainstream, stirring up all manner of hybrids, variants and mutations, it’s worth remembering that some have been creating fresh twists on the current generation of global bass music from its very inception.

Paul Rose, aka Scuba, and his Hotflush label have, since 2003, had experimentation and genre-collision etched into the very structures of everything they do. Putting out key tunes by the core pioneers of dubstep, but also by true outliers like Mount Kimbie, Joy Orbison and Sepalcure, Hotflush has created a sense of absolute consistence in diversity: multiple sounds united by true craftsmanship and high-tech expression of complex emotion.

Joining the UK underground to the deep-rooted techno culture of Berlin, where Rose is now resident, the label is a vital nexus in the flow of musical information that is fuelling the current innovative climate. So next time you hear someone talking about “post-” this or “future-” that, consider that maybe the times are just catching up with Hotflush.

BACK AND 4TH features ten brand new exclusive tracks from bass music’s most innovative producers including: dBridge, Roska, Boddika and FaltyDL as well as a collection of essentials from Hotflush’s catalogue with tracks and remixes from James Blake, Untold, Pangaea, 2562 and more.

The compilation is presented in double-CD and digital download formats, as well as a triple 12” vinyl release of the first disc.

New D&B CD




EXITCD005 – Various Artists – Exit Records Presents ‘Mosaic Vol 1’ – CD x 2
With so much good music arriving in the Exit inbox, it was decided that a various artist project was needed to ensure that it all see the light of day and doesn’t get caught up in a never ending schedule of singles. As normal with Exit Records, there’s no prejudice in the track selection. Well known producers such as Skream, Instra:mental, Scuba and Commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as Indigo, Synkro, Mode and Code 3. The theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dancefloor killer such as System’s ‘Observation Point’ or Loxy & Resound’s ‘Vertigo’ through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of Crom’s ‘Invisible Cities’ or Stray’s ‘Pushed’. This album truly represents the more experimental side of Drum n Bass, as opposed to the crash bang wallop that seems to be the only side of Drum n Bass portrayed by the mainstream media today. Hopefully this album will manage to reach the people that thought this forward thinking music was left behind in the nineties, to let them know that it’s still alive and well, and still capable of throwing up some surprising and unpredictable results.

New D&B Releases




EXITLP005 – Various Artists – Exit Records Presents ‘Mosaic Vol 1’ (4X12” Vinyl & 2xCD ) – 12″ Vinyl x 4
This format is 4X12” Vinyl & 2 X CD packaged together in a gatefold sleeve shrink wrapped. As normal with Exit Records, there’s no prejudice in the track selection. Well known producers such as Skream, Instra:mental, Scuba and Commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as Indigo, Synkro, Mode and Code 3. The theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dancefloor killer such as System’s ‘Observation Point’ or Loxy & Resound’s ‘Vertigo’ through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of Crom’s ‘Invisible Cities’ or Stray’s ‘Pushed’. This album truly represents the more experimental side of Drum n Bass, as opposed to the crash bang wallop that seems to be the only side of Drum n Bass portrayed by the mainstream media today. Hopefully this album will manage to reach the people that thought this forward thinking music was left behind in the nineties, to let them know that it’s still alive and well, and still capable of throwing up some surprising and unpredictable results. CD: Disk 1 1. Scuba – In_2 2. Stray – Pushed 3. Distance – Fading 4. dBridge – Forgot what I needed to forget 5. Synkro – Open Arms 6. dBridge – Rendezvous 7. Dan Habarnam – Nu Este Roz 8. dBridge – Decayed 9. Consequence – Splinter 10. ASC – Modular Concepts 11. Croms – Invisible Cities CD: Disk 2 1. Commix – City Section 2. Indigo – Time 3.

REDSEAL006 – ASC & Vaccine / ASC – Machines / Bleep Test – 12″ Vinyl
Limited Solid Gold Vinyl. Following the opening of 2011 with our first 12” from Need For Mirrors comes this sub bass bomb by the husband and wife team of ASC & Vaccine. Both artists have recorded for Instra:mental’s Nonplus label and dBridge’s Exit Recordings. Veteran producer ASC’s 2010 album ‘Nothing Is Certain’ for Non:Plus was without a doubt one of the most important electronic albums of the year, redefining the very limits of Drum and Bass and stretching the genres sound design to embrace other tempo’s. ‘Machines’ has received high rotate play from DJ’s like Doc Scott, Loxy, dBridge, Instra:mental, Flight, Need For Mirrors, Presha and many more. The tune signals a new direction for ASC, this time aided by his incredibly talented spouse who adds a subtly funky bounce to the groove. The B side marries a vintage Photek approach with a Krustesque quirk and gives birth to a totally unique innovative sound. Essential! Release number 2 for 2011 from the Samurai stable precedes the debut EP from hot newcomer kiwi’s Tokyo Prose and the debut solo single from another kiwi Dose, who produced one of our biggest selling singles ‘The Other Part Of Me’ alongside Trei in 2008. Also look for the rebirth of the ‘Foreign Exchange’ series from Samurai Music and further releases from ASC & Need For Mirrors on Samurai Red Seal.

OK022 – Meth & 2Shy – Treatment EP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy promo. Meth has been working hard from his base in the South of the UK and has been creating a monster to unleash for Offkey Music. His initial solo releases for Offkey brought much attention and dance floor destruction. Quickly people realised that Meth was a force not to be underestimated. This is first full length project and Offkey are very happy to be releasing it. Meth has gathered a stellar cast for The Treatment EP – and that cast extends to 2shy, Manifest & Zo. Let us get treated. a) Meth & 2Shy (feat. Zo) – Front-line 2Shy lays down a vocal that leaves no confusion as to his intent, Meth lays down a killer kick snare and bass combo that brings the dance floor pain like only he knows how. The mysterious Zo slides onto the rhythm and underpins 2Shy’s presence on the track with her spoken word style, putting emphasis on the main hook effortlessly. Bongos bring up the pace on the chorus and before you know it your nodding your head and singing along to the ‘Front-line’. b) Meth, Manifest & 2Shy - RockForte Another artist is introduced to the fold is B-Boy Aficionado Manifest, south London authority on all things hip hop, the friendship with 2Shy has developed over years and now they feature on the knock bass killer ‘Rockforte’. A lilting dub vocal hangs over the breakdown signalling to a drop that just demands to be heard. A mid set roller that features enough edits and twists to keep the floor moving and keeps those gun fingers in the air. Mid bass growls all over the beat encouraging that all important screw face. All together now…. “Too heavyweight, too heavyweight” c) Meth & 2Shy – Not the one This is TRADEMARK 2shy, lets not get it twisted- infact there is no way you could “The bass drops, the place erupts, the crowd shouts FUCK OFF”.  When 2shy gets on a track- this is what you want. Aggravated, unshakeable and uncompromising. and again- just incase you wondered- “FUCK OFF”. Meth and 2shy show again that this may well be an ongoing collaboration- this EP is like a fist to the face, and ‘Not the one’ is the middle finger of said fist. d) Meth – Snake Eyes Meth closes proceedings with menacing Snake Eyes, A perfect title for the sinister track that whips midrange and suffocates you with low end. High hats and cymbals give movement to the drums and add a body move factor that will have the dance floor in eyes down, shock out mode no doubt!

CRIT052 – Enei, Eastcolors & Noel – Cracken / Danger Dance – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Critical Music marches forward, tapping into yet more new talent for 2011 resulting in an absolutely filthy D&B excursion that has had the likes of Andy C going ballistic for it. Hailing from Russia, Enei, who has already bagged himself an exclusive album deal with Critical, Eastcolors and Noel may be familiar with a few but with this release they look set to cement themselves in the collective consciousness of drum & bass aficionados the world over. ‘Cracker’ is rough, rugged and very, very raw. Ultra-tech D&B could be the term to use as the trio of producers come together to deliver what could possibly even be one of Critical’s biggest releases to date. Full of sick mid-ranges, snapping drums and sneaking subs, this one is cold, dry and full of funk that’ll have people full-on skanking around clubs until the early hours. Absolute gold. Enei then goes it alone on the more experimental ‘Danger Dance’, that intros with a sparse arrangement of stalking pads and fx that set the mood of unrest. In bounces a low-slung bass and it’s away we go on this gorgeously glitchy, 808-laden ride that sits perfectly alongside the likes of Rockwell and indeed Critical. DJ support from Andy C, Alix Perez, Friction, Icicle, Cyantific, Nu:tone, Logistics, Rockwell, Lenzman, Hype, Jubei, Ulterior Motive and more.

New Bass Music CD




ATLAS2CD – James Blake – James Blake CD – CD
The past couple of years have seen creative explosions and new generations coming through in both dance floor electronics and heartfelt, introspective singer-songwriting, but self evidently they’ve remained mutually exclusive genre islands. Until now. With a uniquely emotional electronic production style every bit as deeply personal and impassioned as his voice or song writing, James Blake is sketching out his own place in the musical universe. When a teenage James first visited the pivotal London dubstep night FWD>> in 2007, he’d already been to drum ’n’ bass nights with school friends, but the music and atmosphere there were unlike anything he’d experienced. This was what James had been waiting for – he just hadn’t realised. This midnight epiphany in Plastic People’s Shoreditch cellar led, in a few short years, to the James Blake of 2010, a surefooted 22-year-old composer whose extraordinary tracks are not so much breaking down existing musical barriers as leaping over them and creating an entirely new kind of pop that belies its author’s tender age. Although loosely tethered to the cutting edge of contemporary electronics, James’s songs possess uncommon grace and soulfulness. Whether intended for the FWD>> dance floor or, like new single ‘Limit to Your Love’, destined to melt hearts and prick ears, his music is characterised by a playful and arresting honesty, a human touch that, despite his status as a hugely in demand DJ, naturally aligns him with contemporary artists such as Bon Iver or Laura Marling or the xx. Yet more than this, it is the shock of the new in James’s music that’s causing real commotion: the sounds, that voice, the silence, the rhythm (or lack of it), the waiting, the tension. You have to know the rules in order to break them with such conviction, and by daring to be different, James stands head and shoulders above his peers. No doubt, you’ll remember where you were when you heard tracks like ‘Limit to Your Love’ or ‘I Never Learnt to Share’ for the first time. His self titled debut album, released on February 7th, promises to change the game forever.

TEAL001 – West Norwood Cassette Library – Blonde On Blonde / Blonde On Blonde (Pearson Sound Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
Following the critically acclaimed debut-release of BOB BHAMRAs WEST NORWOOD CASSETTE LIBRARY alias TEAL Recordings presents BLONDE ON BLONDE as its seminal release. This one is surely ment for the dancefloor: an addictive bassline, and a stomping house beat executed as were it a hidden gem dug out in a New York pawnshop. The ubiquitous RAMADANMAN hits the flipside under his PEARSON SOUND monkier, with a rehash of BLONDE ON BLONDE; with subtle references to the original version DAVID KENNEDY takes the remix to quite different, but equally interesting, places.

BSR001 – The Eerier Child – Rabid Dogs EP (12” & CD & Poster ) – 12″ Vinyl
The 13 track CD comes in a limited edition package including: a full colour movie poster, a special CD display and the new 12” record. The Eerier Child, a Rotterdam-based producer, now releases 3 new tracks on his newly co-founded label Black Sunday Recordings after previously releasing several successful tracks on labels Mindtrick Records and Redrum Recordz. In a still ongoing journey through various music styles, The Eerier Child found shelter in the bold realms of dubstep. In these very realms, he discovered a world where he could release his full power of fierce rhythms and colourful sounds capes drenched in an eerie atmosphere. Rabid Dogs drags you along, with daggering drums that lure you into uncontrolled excitement at times, and unsettling, yet highly addictive synth lines that make you feel chased by the somewhat darker sides of your own mind at others. This is not for the faint-hearted… The second track Dead and Buried starts off with a dubsound that develops into an energetic mix of driving rhythms and soothing, nostalgic female vocals. Smooth wobbles dance their way into the hearts of listeners. At first glance this seems to be a happy song.. but something’s not quite right… are there monsters lurking in the dark? Pieces takes you aboard an electro spaceship on a little trip to cloud-cuckoo-land. Swaying beats and distinctive horror sounds will sweep you on a dance floor of vast spaces capes, switching from four on the floor to a half time feel. and back.. Yes, this is all so unreal! CD: The album has its own distinguished sound and style that could loosely be described as “a soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist”. It uses Hip-hop and Dubstep related influences, but The Eerier Child just uses these minor elements to create more tension and flow to his tracks. To really experience the eerie and horroresque vibe caught on this album we dare you to “put on your headphones and get in a 40 minute trip”.

RED005 – ASC – Advent / The Glow – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Long time producer and innovator ASC steps to Pushing Red with two fantastic pieces of Detroit-tinged techno. He’s well known in many circles for his wonderful drum & bass releases which more recently have brought him success on such labels Exit, Nonplus & his own Auxilary. His is also known for other tempos and this release is pure evidence that he is just as deadly in this realm as his drum & bass! A. ADVENT: A punishing 4/4 kicks things off before distorted, crushing bass and effects propel this monster into Detroit territory! While this tune is a monster, everything is perfectly layered and everything within the tune makes sense. Reverbed keys and delayed effects pull everything together! Definitely one for the fans who like their beats with a little teeth! AA. THE GLOW: The Glow harks back to the glory days of Warp Records and mid 90′s techno & electronic. A subtle 4/4 keeps the momentum going while the bassline could workout any soundsystem. Lush keys and pads sit perfectly on top creating that wonderful melodic and nostalgia feel! Definitely one for fans of deeper, melodic techno!

RWINA010 – Rachet – Hyper Dimention – 12″ Vinyl
Rachet, a new kid on the block, debuts with the banging Hyper Dimention EP for Rwina Records on October 25. Well, Rachet isn’t that new on the fold. He’s worked with MCs like Devlin, Jammer, Frisco and Beezy, to name a few, back in the day. Don’t be misled by the wrong spelling of Dimention, this release is positively on point with some heavy dancefloor smashers in the typically forward-thinking Rwina fashion. Lead track ‘Hyper Dimention’ combines R&B and dubstep to a result for a track that explores and spans numerous strains of music that haven’t even been invented yet. The vicious ‘Electrical Basssweep’ pits hard-hitting drums against a fierce, dark bassline and a ravey but dripping bleepy melody. Closing the EP, ‘Sega Megadrive’ is a bubbling beast that imports a dramatic feeling to home-listeners but an energetic one to dancers, thoughtful peak time stuff in this one!

New Bass Music Promos




DP047 – Zero G – Bring It / Bring It (Subscape Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Following releases on some of the biggest labels in the game, including Liondub, XS Dubz and Digital Soundboy, we are very proud to present the Dub Police debut from Zero G. A no holds barred dancefloor bomb, ‘Bring It’ will hit you right where it counts. Using the pared down elements with maximum efficacy, the growling bassline riff rips right through the core of the track like a knife. The thumping kicks and the snap of the cavernous snares heightens the impact, while the tight percussive shuffle maintains the momentum, wrapping itself around the bassline. On the flip, ‘Bring It’ gets the remix treatment from long time Dub Police affiliate Subscape. Taking the original’s infectious bassline and ramping up the energy levels on it even further, he delivers a hard-hitting sonic onslaught. Having risen to the top in the drum and bass world with his uncompromising production style, Zero G has proven his versatility with a series of impressive dubstep releases in recent years, taking down the tempo while retaining all the energy. Maintaining the same impactful approach that garnered him so much attention with his drum and bass productions, he has quickly become one of the biggest dubstep producers in the scene today. Collaborations with the likes of Benny Page and Marcus Visionary, as well as an array of solo releases, have come thick and fast, showcasing his singular skills on the buttons, and judging by this release there is plenty more to come from him!
