New D&B Releases


NONPLUS006 Nothing Is Certain LP 12” Sampler – ASC Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl
This is the 12″ sampler for ‘Nothing Is Certain’. The main event is set to follow very shortly after. The wait is nearly over! The Autonomic crew have been at the forefront of the movement currently breathing new life into Drum & Bass music. Whether through their fantastic series of podcasts or releases on DBridge’s Exit & Instra:Mental’s NonPlus record labels, people are starting to take notice. No stranger to DnB himself with releases under his belt on Covert Ops and Nu-Directions to name a few, producer James Clements aka ASC was called up in late 2009 for the 3rd release on Nonplus, and the rest is history. With his tracks being featured on dBridge & Instra:mental’s recent Fabriclive mix & ASC is a name you’re going to be hearing a lot more of.

a2 ASC – Oort Cloud

NONPLUSLP001 Nothing Is Certain LP – ASC Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl x 3
Since his first appearance on Nonplus, ASC has been hard at work on his LP and its finally here. Starting with a 12” sampler he dives right in at the deep end with ‘Phobos’ in which electronic grooves and micro samples entwine against a backdrop of dramatic tones and industrial hits. Followed on the same side by the atmospheric hiatus ‘Oort Cloud’ you have a good inclination of the impending album by now, but are also treated to the AA-side ‘Matter Of Time’. Like a continuation of his debut Nonplus 12” track ‘Porcelain’, his
crafty use of oriental sounding percussion, windlike sounds and melodies combined with an efficacious bass line make this track very hard to listen to in its entirety before you reach for the reset. The album touches on many genres from start to finish such as the 4×4 offering of ‘Textura’, or the almost indescribable step of ‘Yatta’, but one common theme that this album holds throughout is the amalgamation of influences derived from all genres of music and ASC’s ability to combine these to create something new and unique. Collaborations with fellow Nonplus artist Vaccine and Exit Records artist Consequence add fuel to the fire, keeping it burning hot from start to finish. Nonplus Records proudly present…….…..ASC – “Nothing Is certain”

a ASC – Absent Mind
b ASC – Fade Away Seasons (Ft. Consequence)
c ASC – Lost For Words
d ASC – The Depths
e ASC – The Ubiquity Incident
f ASC – Opus (Ft. Vaccine)

TRNSL006 Denile / A Chain Of Red – Grimm & Nusense / Resound Translation Records 12″ Vinyl
Translation Recordings is proud to unveil the first pairing of tunes from debut LP/compilation “Without Borders.” Rinsed by DJs to include Grooverider, Anile, Sinistarr, and Stunna, “Denile” is a collaboration between Canada-based artists Grimm & Nusense. The duo deliver a stripped-back and cavernous steppa, with deep low-end rumble, acid squelches, and reverberated dubstyle chords. The flip welcomes the return of Translation veteran and Finnish dnb all-star Resound in the futuristic sounds of “A Chain of Red,” where floating synth pads weave through a crunchy, 8-bit tone sequence. Spliced drum edits at the drop quickly change the uplifting opening vibe into a more sinister and moody one that is charged by an electrified synth bass wall. Meanwhile, a combination of congas, snares, and hi-hats punch in and out of the mix to give this monster of a tune its staccato percussive core. These dance floor oriented tracks represent only a small sliver of the spectrum and vibe covered by the “Without Borders” LP/compilation, which will be available in the coming weeks on CD & digital download featuring exclusives from Solar Empire, ASC, Mindmapper, DBR (UK), Marginal, Dub Phizix, Edward Oberon, Stranjah, Theory, Slider, and Expose. Keep it locked!

BMT004 Natural History Remixes: Part 2 – Blu Mar Ten Blu Mar Ten 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. Where the album version of ‘By The Time My Light Reaches You I’ll be Gone’ was slow and contemplative, Klute grabs it by the scruff of the neck and gives it a good shake-down with a frantic percussion section while maintaining the strong melodies and progressions of the original. The result is a stunning blend of subtlety and impact, perfect listening whether you’re on the dancefloor or off it. Continuing his high-speed ascendance, d&b’s new kid on the block, Stray, justifies the hype with his superb rendition of ‘If I Could Tell You’. Hammering the original components into a richter-scale headnod, the aggression of his beats is beautifully offset with a subtle yet umissable reinterpretation of the bassline. Sounding completely different to virtually anything else in the genre, Stray’s irresistible remix has been waking up sleepy clubs all over the world, and must now rank as having one of the highest “what’s-this-tune-m8?’ ratios on the circuit right now. A genuine ear-worm. DJ support is coming in from right across the scene, including London Elektricity, Friction, Doc Scott, Lynx, John B, Nookie and many more

Vienna based Foxrox (Yetis Demir) and Geetox (Michael Stary) have been into D’n'B for quite some time now. While djing and holding residencies at the most famous clubs in the capital of Austria (Beat It at Flex and All Souled Out at Roxy), they both decided – independently – to start to produce the music they love and like to hear on the floor. This was 4 years ago. After developing some skills and their own workflow, they decided to collaborate in the second half in 2008 and since then, their easy going work bears fruit. Sunrise – BMK / Coda (Zen Remix) Zen has come to Audio Danger Records.. Need we say more? Zen has joined our team to do a remix of BMK and Coda’s track Sunrise. The original version never saw the light of day but zen heard it through the grape vine and jumped at the chance to put his spin on this track. With vocals from Jett and live guitar from Sam Phillips, it satisfies all the Drum and Bass crew from the liquid lovers to the jump up heads.. This tune is a must for all.

One of the most anticipated 12″ releases from the northern warrior Tes La Rok.

NONPLUS008 We Speak To Those / Hi Res – Kassem Mosse Nonplus Records 12″ Vinyl
Hailing from Leipzig in Germany is an artist who’s music has been pricking up many ears across the global underground over the last few years. It’s hard to put a finger on what it is about Kassem Mosse’s productions that make repeated listening a must, but the intricacy, fresh arrangements and musical depth definitely play a part in attracting labels such as the highly respected techno imprint Workshop, the legendary Soma Records and now Nonplus are honoured to present his latest 12”.
a) Kassem Mosse – ‘We Speak to Those’ First up on the a-side we have ‘We Speak to Those’ a 4/4 track of the highest quality that keeps you guessing from start to finish. The rugged and raw kick and bassline immediately set the foundations for the incoming awkward chord stabs whilst reversed beats lazily slur in and out over the main groove giving the track the unnerving feeling that its almost changing tempo. Random sound effects and a non conforming arrangement make this track about as predictable as the English summer. One listen to this and you’ll immediately understand why this artist is getting love from some of the scenes biggest players at the moment.
aa) Kassem Mosse – ‘Hi Res’ Phased drum machine breakbeat patterns and stutered percussion redolent of the early Detroit techno uprising give this track an outstanding quality of being able to conjure up the same feelings of hope and optimism for electronic music that the aforementioned era managed to. Thought provoking chord progressions take your mind on an excursion to the future and leave you gagging for an extended trip. Think skyways, flying cars and towering metal buildings footed with dark abysmal underworlds and you’ll get the drift. They don’t come much deeper than this one.

New D&B Releases


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

a Stray – Erase
b Stray – Locked Up

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

b Ulterior Motive – Glued

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

a Telekinesis – Déjà vu
b Telekinesis & Kinetic – Lithium

New D&B Promos


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

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

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

After a short period of silence Disturbed’s evil twin brother Mentally Disturbed is back with a vengeance. Counterstrike and Cooh stepping for the destruction works. Both guys have been extremely busy this year. Counterstrike working on projects with new talent on his CSRECS and established artists like Eye-D and Hidden, with their amazing release on ONE SEVEN FIVE they reached top of the charts and appeal to both dnb and hard edged audience. Cooh is been even more busy with his profile. Slammer after slammer this man drops upon us and there seems to be no end in the near future. His most outstandig project in the last year was probably the hardcore vibes drum ‘n bass hit. On this new EP both artists combine their exquisite production skills and use it to the max. A killer combo and a dancefloor killer.

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

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

New Dubstep / Funky / Techno releases

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

On the flip current producer of the moment Ramadanman (Hessle Audio, Hemlock Recordings, Swamp81) steps up to remix Scuba’s ‘Tense’, the mechanical and robotic drum pattern is overlaid with Scuba’s trademark Detroit Synths to create an image of an Industrialised Berlin landscape.

EXITLP001 Blackpocket – The Album – Steve Spacek Presents Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
Few artists nowadays can claim true originality in the music they make; artists who have their own unique sound. You can easily spot a DJ Premier break, an M.I.A. chant, or a Timbaland beat, because these are the artists who have etched out their own niche in the musical forum. These people push the envelope with their production, keeping things fresh, exciting and interesting for us lowly listeners. Steve Spacek is one of these people.
Steve White forged his music career in the early 90’s with the dance act Stex, which also featured Johnny Marr of The Smiths. He went on to found the band Spacek in the mid-90s, and quickly found underground success. Their first release, “Eve”, gained favour with many respected people in the industry, resulting in them signing to Mos Def’s GoodTree imprint and Island Records in the UK. The late J Dilla offerered up remix duties on a package that included contributions from the Roots’ Black Thought, Frank n Dank and Mos Def himself. Their debut album, “Curvatia”, was critically acclaimed, and displayed the group’s complex and challenging sensibilities, establishing them as a promising new talent in the British alternative music scene. “Vintage Hi-Tech” followed in 2003, drawing high praise from critics who called it “a downtempo musical masterpiece that draws no comparison”, and they were heralded by Style magazine as “the Radiohead of soul”.
“Black Pocket The Album” is instrumental soul at its best, an exploration into grooves and the spaces within. Over the series, Black Pocket has shown the diversity that’s possible within the soul genre, and this album pulls all those possibilities together. Every track on here shows a producer who is totally in control of his sonic surroundings: a myriad of splices and lush quirks which – like a jigsaw – resolve themselves to reveal the beauty of the whole. “Black Pocket” is an album which blows away all the usual clichés found in
the music behind soul and brings to you a future full of potential and promise.
Steve Spacek, the acclaimed voice behind the ground-breaking genre-pushing group Spacek (who were championed by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to Mos Def), made a name for himself at the turn of the century with the song “Eve’ (covered by Dwele). The song set off a worldwide buzz on Steve as a singer and his group’s futuristic sound. Imagine a robot performer in the future, in love with hip hop beatology and skillful enough to twist it into new shapes, programmed with an infused knowledge of the biographies of Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Leroy Hutson as source material for lyric writing and you might have an idea of the Spacek sound – Robotic, futuristic, hip-hop based soul. Steve Spacek has also worked with Mark Pritchard on his recent Harmonic 313 album, or their joint 12″ on Warp this year under the alias Africa Hi Tech. His back catalogue, includes labels like Giles Petersons Brownswood, BBE, and more recently he had a Blackpocket release on Fat City which had a Martyn Remix.

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

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

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

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

New DnB Promos


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

b Calibre – Thrust

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

a Telekinesis – Déjà vu
b Telekinesis & Kinetic – Lithium

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

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

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

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

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

RS1003 CMYK EP – James Blake R&S Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Debut single for another hugely tipped young London based producer on the legendary R&S record label, showcasing that the label is once again a serious force to be reckoned with.

In between studying Popular Music at Goldsmiths and writing a debut album that will take a lot of people by surprise, he has released amazing singles on Hemlock & Hessle, pushing the boundaries of what is expected of ‘dubstep’ music. This underground introduction has made him a star on influential blogs and websites and has now pricked up the ears of more mainstream press.

DUB002 Gangster (Trolley Snatcha Mix) – Dreadzone Dubwiser 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy promo. ‘Gangster’, a single taken from Dreadzone’s fifth album ‘Eye On The Horizon’. This 12 includes three remixes from Trolley Snatcha, Pyramid & She Is Danger. First up is Trolley Snatcha who takes the vibe of the original and mashes it up in his own inimitable way to create a no holds barred tear-out dubstep remix. Earl 16′s vocal hook “So you wanna be a gangster..I don’t think that is the answer” sets the scene before Trolley Snatcha drops a big squelchy, morphing bassline complete with sirens and gunshots – what’s not to like? Next up is She Is Danger’s deep, dub electronica mix which takes things a lot easier and provides a nice antidote to the chaos. Pyramid round things off with a decent breaks mix to complete the package. Something for everyone here but it’s the Trolley Snatcha remix that really stands apart.

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

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

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

HENCH018 Disgustin Justin / Metalfoot – Lost Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Having already graced Hench with his debut release, Ironhide / Slaughtered, Justin Cantor, a.k.a Lost, brings his latest batch of weaponry. With his debut releases on Hench being deemed strong enough to appear next to some of the scene’s biggest producers, such as Jakes, Komonazmuk and Chasing Shadows. Since that first release, Lost has been a regular feature in Get Darker TV’s live shows and this new offering will not disappoint fans.
a. Distustin Justin – Cutting straight to the chase, Lost captures the sub-bass perspective of 90’s dance culture perfectly with Disgustin Justin. With the swinging bassline making creating a raw and dubby atmosphere, you can immediately tell that this was built to be played on a big soundsystem. Scattered high-hats and glitches keep the momentum rolling forward solidly. Estranged vocal in the background and the percussive drums add to the tripped-out mood of this production. From the evidence shown here, there is no doubt that Lost’s sound is maturing.
aa. An eerie soundscape guides us into Metalfoot – leading you into a false sense of security whilst building to the drop. And when this fat, chrome-guilded bassline drops in you gather an understanding of where the inspiration for this track’s name came from. Slow-drawing snare, pulsating sub-bass and ticking high hats provide the ingredients for this dread-inducing track. This one’s a real grower and is going to be turning heads when it gets dropped on the dancefloor.
DJ support for both tracks from: Jakes, Mistajam, Hatcha, Cyrus, N-Type, Darkside, Noah D, Datsik, Breezy and more.

Forthcoming – Mount Kimbie “Crooks & Lovers” LP [Hotflush Recordings]

Forthcoming – Mount Kimbie “Crooks & Lovers” LP [Hotflush Recordings]

Posted 24 May 2010 | By Editor | Categories: misc, news, tracks | No Comments

Adding a percussive and experimental edge to the current class of post-dubstep pioneers, Mount Kimbie, the duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos – are set to release their highly anticipated debut album ‘Crooks & Lovers’ on Scuba’s Hotflush label in July.

Mount Kimbie’s first two EPs – ‘Maybes’ and ‘Sketch On Glass’ – seemed like explorations of spaces so private that all within earshot were instantly turned into voyeurs. The experience was less like listening to music and more like eavesdropping on the machinations of a lone mind – albeit a lone mind surrounded by and retreating from millions of other minds.

Difficult to categorise, the lush EPs caused a commotion when released last year with ‘Sketch On Glass’ recently undergoing reworks from the likes of Falty DL, SCB (Scuba’s darker techno alias) and their sometime collaborator James Blake. With their own remixes (Foals and The xx) becoming hot property, Mount Kimbie have been a core part of the growing scene in London often associated with labels like Hyperdub and Hessle Audio.

Dom and Kai met whilst at Southbank University, pushed together in a student halls that was previously a mental asylum – where the ceilings were still ridiculously high to stop patients hanging themselves: “a cold, joyless, concrete building – the sort of building where you’d drop a pen and the sound would just go on and on in an echo.”


Mount Kimbie

Armed with found sound snips and a siege mentality, Kai and Dom set about turning London’s ambience into rhythm, its chaos into coherence. Traces of influence remain – the hard-earned spaces of Burial and The Bug vie with the berserk melodrama of Xiu Xiu and Grouper’s sad-eyed glow, D’Angelo’s pervert soul gets cleansed in the intimacy of Phil Elvrum’s Microphones, Angelo Badalamenti’s swollen ‘Twin Peaks’ atmospheres find a cradle in Madlib’s lax lope.

The band’s sound and response to the dubstep moment is very much their own. Sceneless and untethered from etiquette and genre codes, ‘Crooks & Lovers’ floats through dubstep and hip-hop, jazz, techno and ambient, post-rock, UK garage and film scores to startling effect.

New DnB CD


FFLP1 The Cocoon LP – Chook Full Force Recordings CD
There was once a time in drum & bass where to try your hand at other genres was practically an insult to the staunch elitism of the genre. Drum & bass knew best, and what it knew most preciously of all was to soak up outside influences like a sponge, then regurgitate them in its own 170-ish-bpm breakbeat style – with an added middle finger to anyone who dared question the futurethinking outlook of the protagonists involved.
Now, more than a decade since artists like Ed Rush & Optical, Source Direct and Matrix were hailed as the sonic beat scientists of the millennium, it’s become trendy to mash together a whole bunch of genres and styles all under one artist alias roof. Chase & Status made dubstep and drum & bass spiritual and literal
dancefloor partners in just a few swift moves and Sub Focus turned his hand to bassline house alongside classic jungle and technoelectro infused D&B on his recent self-titled debut album. Meanwhile Annie Mac has practically made an institution amongst dance music fans by splicing together all styles with a common theme – incredible, filthy basslines and a cheeky attitude. But amongst all the multi-genre mashing and the come-and-go tunes of the day, it can be hard to pick out something which has a shelf life longer than the next epileptic bassline to quake the local dancefloor or the latest remix from a moribund LFO maniac, slowly descending into blog house madness. However, into that void steps a producer with a history for sticking to his aesthetic guns; a producer who’s not afraid to touch the other side of the genre explosion; a producer who arrives at the party armed with a suitcase full of subtlety and an outlook more akin to the artists of old. Chook is that artist, and The Cocoon, Chook’s debut long-playing project, moves beautifully through drum & bass, minimal techno and stunning ambient soundscapes without pausing for breath. Now, five years since he started Full Force, Chook dlives deeper into his influences, spreading his wings as a producer without resorting to cheap tricks and sheep-like trend following. From the growling bass of Optimus Prime through to the inchperfect elements of Time Running Backwards and the building, spacious progression of Toontown, The Cocoon is a lesson in staying true to your beliefs and sticking the middle finger to those who dare question your motives. Some might consider that a lost art in drum & bass these days.

RECIPE007 Transfer / Block 305 – Skeptical Ingredients Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. (EACH COPY COMES WITH A FREE RECIPE CARD FROM THE ARTIST)
After the success of Phobia’s giant 12’ on Ingredients (and killer Beef stew) the next instalment comes from an up & coming artist making waves in 2010. Ashley ‘Skeptical’ takes a step towards the deep, dubby vibes of underground Drum & Bass, harking back to oldskool Metalheadz with “Transfer” a bassline roller. Flip for ‘Block 305’ for some half-time mechanical minimalism, with it’s barrage of bass pinning you against the wall. With production like this you know this guy has plenty more to come, and this is the first of 3 12”s signed to the label. You’ve been warned! Ashley comes correct with his steak dish

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

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

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

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

Ever wondered what the apocalyptic soundtrack to invading robots ready to destroy the world would sound like? Well you’re about to find out as Excision drops the latest 12” on his own EX7 label. Following the immense dancefloor killer ‘Swagga’, supported heavily by Rusko and Mistajam, Excision steps up on the A side of EX7003 to deliver ‘Subsonic’, an incredible blend of super-tough beats and grinding bass. Opening with prophecies of robotic doom before stamping down its mark of totalitarian authority, this one destroys the dance each and every time. Flip over and Excision teams up with Noiz to create ‘Force’ a shifting tumultuous slab of whirling and interchanging basslines that create a wall of sonics just powerful enough to crack a rib or two. Haunting FX and skipping percussive rhythms pave the way for utter destruction.
DJ Support: Annie Nightingale, Aquasky, Beat Assassins, Benji B (1Xtra), Ctrl-Z, Datsik, DJ Go (Mixologists), DJ No Names (Foreign Beggars), DJ Shox (Rinse FM), Far Too Loud, Lost (Hench), Mary Anne Hobbs, Pendulum, Rico Tubbs, Riskotheque, SkisM, Skool Of Thought.

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

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

a LV & Quarta 330 – Hylo

The first release bearing the Non Person name, this one is a keeper. Non Person MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/n0npers0n Channel Zero is a new label run by Dead-O of Clouds with the aim of pushing new, forward-looking music to new sets of ears around the globe, with no boundaries set as to the type of music being released.

GUT001 I’m Not Her – Goldielocks Gut Instinct 12″ Vinyl
A co-production with Benga – the brilliantly sparse, bleepy ‘Green Eyes’ – is going to grab people’s attention, but the other three tracks here are easily as good. Sarah “Goldielocks” Akwisombe makes outstanding modernist electro-pop with dark, emotionally intense lyrical themes and a hefty DJ-friendly dubstep wallop, and is without question a talent who is here to stay. The EP is overall inspired by London, underground music scenes – 2step / garage / grime and dubstep, paranoia, relationships and concealed emotions.

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

PSQ002 Untitled / 1993 / Horizons – Furesshu Project Squared 12″ Vinyl
This 12″ picks up where Furesshu’s digital releases at a dubstep tempo on Echodub left off but also pushes into the deep, Berlin inspired techno sound that he is presently concentrating on. 1993 sounds fast for its mid 130s tempo, the bass drives the trackís pace and the delay affected stabs provide just enough melody. Horizons feels slower, you could perhaps describe it as a half step track although it twists up the formula for that sub genre. The bass evolves and changes throughout the track, rising and falling, coupled with drones and drums punctuating the track rather than providing a constant element. Untitled marks a change in Furesshuís sound. 4/4 deep techno; 11 minutes of gradual, constant evolution in the melodic parts of the track but the driving, perfectly toned kick drum and hi hats holding the groove in place. Mastered by CGB at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin, Germany.

RED002 Avoid The Noid / Duality – DJG Pushing Red 12″ Vinyl
Known in many circles of dubstep and similar styles as one of the hottest up & comers, DJG has graced us with one of, what we think is his best release to date. Both sides showing his diversity & versatility as a producer and musician. A San Francisco native, DJG has been releasing music on many acclaimed labels, building his reputation and forging ahead with his unique take on dubstep.
A. Avoid The Noid: From the start, the listener is propelled into the pure energy of this track. A steady 4/4 kick drum keeps the momentum along with scattered snares. A deep, bouncy bassline pull everything together in style along with twinkling keys and a nice short vocal. Dubsteppers who like their music with a techno tinge will love this along some tech house listeners. A great piece of energetic music!
AA. Duality: One of our favorite tunes we’ve heard in a long time and are very proud to be releasing this. A minimal intro leads into a punchy snare that slaps you across the face while the drum fill in between keep things interesting. A huge sub bassline will keep any sound system on it’s toes. This tune is all about patience and the build up to a vocal that sits so well, it’s hard to imagine a tune around like it atm. A piece of music you just have to hear to believe! DJ Support: RSD, 2562, Headhunter, Komonazmuk, J Sparrow, Synkro, F, Jus Wan, XI, Distal, Rob Booth.

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

On the flip, DJ Mag’s 2009 Best Breakthrough Producers Instra:mental transform “At Least” into a blissed-out, bass-heavy 4/4 roller.

RSVER001 Detroit Falls / Orpheus – Pariah R&S Records 10″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Debut single for hotly tipped London based producer Pariah on the legendary R&S record label. Pariah is a precocious young talent. Part of the same London bass music scene that has spawned the likes of Burial, Bullion, James Blake, Pangaea and Untold, and part of wider loosely knit scene that includes futuristic, electronic beatsmiths such as Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Falty DL etc. Already an in demand remixer before the release of this debut single. He has remixed current media darlings The XX (Basic Space – easy the best mix of the bunch), Brit winner Ellie Goulding (Under The Sheets), Bombay Bicycle Club (Always Like This) and might have had a hand in a certain Erykah Badu bootleg doing the rounds. The two tracks on this debut single were the his first ever finished productions and snapped up by R&S under the noses of a whole bunch of interested high profile labels. They continue the R&S tradition of releasing forward thinking electronic music, and follow the lineage of Aphex Twin, Model 500, Patrick Pulsinger and Derrick May. The two tracks on this single wear the influences on their sleeve, referencing the hip hop beat collages of Dilla and the moody atmospheric 2 step rhythms of Burial, but still contain the rich Pariah DNA which will be even more apparent on his future R&S singles. The stuff we have heard so far has blown our socks off taking influences from sources as diverse as Levon Vincent, Fennesz and classic Detroit techno as well as the likes of MJ Cole and Steve Gurley. Already a name on the lips of the hip blog crowd (featured on Pitchfork, Gorilla Vs Bear, No Pain In Pop and Rcrd Lbl) and in demand on the European underground DJ circuit this debut 10” is likely to become a collectors item and catapult him onto much bigger things.

SPEAKS002 From Havana to Hackney : UK Tropicale Vol.1 – Various Shifting Peaks 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Cuba ‘s complicated. Standing alone and defiant for decades against it’s bullying neighbours in the North, safeguarding the real gains of revolution : economic equality, decent healthcare, unequalled infant mortality and adult literacy rates for the region. But it’s a one party State, with no independent Trade Unions and no real freedom of movement or expression, and the truth is that you don’t have to be some frothing anti -Castro freak sweating it out in Miami to consider yourself a political refugee from Raul/ Fidels’ Cuba . “Stylo Pohibido” rapper Roll-X left Cuba, Havana in the late 90’s , swerved Miami, and headed straight for Hackney / London instead. His Red Smoke Family studio initially was a base for garage and UK hip-hop artists, then slowly established itself as a base for Cuban émigré Rappers in London (Papo Record, Mr Huevo, Philipsman, Michelito,Kid Africa ) Mixing up hip hop and Reggaeton (“Cubaton” ) , ‘Rejalate’, ‘Tiren’ and ‘Arranca’ here showcase the breadth of that sound : big synths, fat beats, booty bass and urgent raps steeped in Latin-British hip hop culture. ‘Rejalate’ and ‘Tiren’ are battle cries, letting everyone know the Redsmoke Family train is about to burst out of it’s Hackney base, ‘Arranca’ a tropical bomb waiting to go off. In the name of dancefloor solidarity, we called in some UK brothers to collaborate. Leicester’s finest Emvee carries on where his ‘Glitch Dub’ left off, adding rave-bass, rolling percussion and marimbas to Mr Huevo’s ‘Rejalate’ . Hackman uses RRB’s salsa piano riffs and Roll- X’s Rap over his trademark Funky rhythms to get seriously tropical. Midlands bod Max Morrell closes the package out in style with a dubby, jacking, Funky-Fidget hybrid, using a sliver of Arranca’s vocal over slamming beats and big basslines for a pulsating finale.

FRJ006 Angels Dub EP – Kuoyàh Frijsfo Beats 12″ Vinyl
Italy’s Marco Donnarumma indicated some of the potential of his Kuoyàh project with last April’s digital release for Frijsfo, earning enthusiastic tips from the likes of Boomkat. Nonetheless, there’s no doubt that his debut on wax ups the game – even in the face of a mix from Sully – by applying a focus capable of working magic in 2010′s open-ended dubstep dance. It’s an overused comparison that probably deserves to be buried, but Angel Dub does reek of Horsepower Productions, or more precisely the ducking 2-step and Basic Channel steals of Benny Ill’s classic Tempa EP with Hatcha. In this case laziness has been avoided, a sunstroked, hazy quality making it sound Kuoyàh’s own, and a judicious electronica dimension expanding the arrangement without falling into the IDM-ish trap of trying to ape something cleverer. That holds true even for the more downtempo Asia, which turns up the dub channel to find hordes of space-echo revenants chasing around. The thoroughly dust-less grooves of common soundsystem samples are absent, though, dropped for an unexpected reversioning of Artificial Intelligence bleep tones. On Soldiers, Donnarumma’s background in electroacoustic music and ambient is more obvious, in common with Chase The Comedown, 2009′s digital EP. It’s equally clear how he’s been sharpening this kind of line since then, refining trademark, half-dismantled bundles of beats to the point where everything is in just the right wrong place. Attention for this EP will understandably bend towards Sully’s Angels Dub remix, not without justification. It’s another great Jack Stevens beat, with pummelling sub-bass, arpeggios scrambled almost in the style of Zomby and an uncharacteristically martial drum track beating out something like an Addison Groove juke pattern. Kuoyàh himself, though, deserves just as much of your time on this one, trust us.

A2 Kuoyàh – Asia

Coming soon… Mount Kimbie Remixes

Coming soon… Mount Kimbie Remixes

Posted 16 March 2010 | By Editor | Categories: news, video | 1 Comment

Breakthrough production duo Mount Kimbie have quickly established themselves as one of the finest experimental electronic outfits out there, and the ever growing Hotflush Recordings empire have been responsible for introducing an array of talent lately.


Mount Kimbie

Soon Hotflush presents two EPs of remixes of Mount Kimbie. On the first, Dom and Kai’s HF021 debut “Maybes” gets a soulful treatment from their sometime collaborator James Blake, as heard on Scuba’s recent SUB:STANCE mix on Ostgut Ton, while “Serged” from HF023 is reshaped into woozy garage by New Yorker FaltyDL. On the flip, DJ Mag’s 2009 Best Breakthrough Producers Instra:mental transform “At Least” into a blissed-out, bass-heavy 4/4 roller.

The second EP features Panorama Bar’s Tama Sumo & Prosumer reworking “William” into a shuffling deep house groove, and Scuba under his SCB guise delivering a murky, cerebral techno remix of “Vertical”.

Mount Kimbie – Remixes Pt. 1 (12”)
Cat number: HFRMX006
Release date: TBC
A1: Maybes (James Blake Remix)
A2: Serged (FaltyDL Remix)
B1: At Least (Instra:mental Remix)

Mount Kimbie – Remixes Pt. 2 (12”)
Cat number: HFRMX007
Release date: TBC

New D ‘n’ B Releases


C4CLTDUK003 Something Else Sensor (Break Remix) – Cause 4 Concern C4C Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Already established and exemplary in the tricky art of tune fusion, here badman Break takes two of C4C’s older numbers to create a monstrous slice of music: he’s lifted the best parts from both tracks and beefed it all up with some Break style biz, resulting in a relentless roller that drops twice to hit you hard in all the right places.
SOUL – N.PHECT REMIX There’s no doubt that halfstep tunes are hot right now, but most of them are original compositions, not remixes. Here N.Phect reinterprets Soul and strips it of its speed and intensity, but not its substance. Now it has a brand new attitude and tempo, while that unmistakable C4C funk is retained and keeps things recognisable. Future Funk.
DJ Support: Andy C, Friction, Hype, Bailey, Prolix, Break, Goldie, Gridlok, Fierce, Concord Dawn, Ed Rush, Bad Company, plus many more…

EXIT020 Peach Fuzz – System Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
Mark System is by no means a newcomer to the music world having been performing as an MC and producing music for labels such as Digital Soundboy and Shogun Audio amongst others for over a decade. His debut on Exit Records consists of two tracks which underline his production skills and originality in sound design and arrangement. On the A-Side we have “Peach Fuzz”. A track created and named by System after attending and gaining inspiration from Carl Cox’s closing party at Space. He claims that Danny Tenaglia’s set stimulated him to think about new ways of approaching tracks. “Peach Fuzz“ was the result and what a result it was. This track oozes originality and is a pearl in the boxes of many top DJs at the moment such as dBridge, Instra:mental, Ed Rush, Commix, Friction etc. On the B-side we have “Voices” from System, which is an elaborate workout of glitchy beats, choppy break edits and curious melodies. This track is far from formulaic, having been started as an experiment to vent creative juices with no intention of it leaving his computer, were glad it did!

BLUSYNC002 Sampler 2 Sync: Saphir LP – Electrosoul System / Bionic1 Blu Saphir 12″ Vinyl
For the second sampler of the Sync:Saphir album collaboration, the sounds are switched up a bit, bringing in a very heavy remix of Electrosoul System’s Fun (from BLUS004) and newcomer BIONIC1′s Love Machine. These two tunes put a new spin on the usual Blu Saphir and Syncopix releases you’re used to, bringing deep, techy, rolling vibes to the table. You’re all used to Henree, spitting out releases over the last five years on the likes of Blindside, Deep Kut, Sound Trax, Lucky Devil, Phunkfiction, Soul:R and Vampire. BIONIC1 is a newcomer to Drum & Bass, but he’s got a rolled out sound that’s not to be missed!
A. ELECTROSOUL SYSTEM — FUN (HENREE REMIX) Before listening to this remix, you might want to revisit the original to notice the change in texture and sound. Henree definitely lays it down with this remix. Bass heavy and driving, you’ll feel bass quakes rolling through the floor as this one passes through the sound system. The opening resembles the original, but that’s all you’re going to get that hasn’t really changed. The moody chord progression that is stabilized throughout the track is enough to make a spine tingle, while the minimal vocal adds spice and atmosphere to an already amazing work. Very melodic and uplifting, an excellent choice in remix selection for this record!
B. BIONIC1 — LOVE MACHINE There is no one word to describe this track. One second you’re locked inside some type of futuristic space encounter, and then bombarded by techy stabs and vicious bass in the next. Following a sexy and seductive vocal, “Wanna go for a ride?,” all chaos breaks loose! Rolling tech funk is the name of the game here! Fans of labels like DNAudio, Black Reign LTD, Quarantine, Critical and Shadow Law will want to check into this one!
SUPPORT: MARCUS INTALEX, DJ MARKY, RANDOM MOVEMENT, S.P.Y AND MANY MORE.

New D ‘n’ B Promos


CRIT044 Canopy – FD, Hydro & Keza Critical Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. New blood alert! Bringing through yet more untapped talent is the people’s choice, Critical Music, who bring us the debut release from a trio of boxfresh producers that’s already been doing damage with those lucky enough to have it. With FD being one of the brains behind possibly the most forward-thinking drum and bass event in London, Medium, you know before listening the force is strong on this one. Beautifully breezy pads open up ‘Canopy’ and a straight down the line break gets things moving nicely as added percussion seaps in along the way before the drop. Out go the pads and in comes a refreshingly spacious arrangement of percussive FX and thumping deep subs perfect for those dark late-night dance floors. Wait for the sumptuous atmospherics to return and you can’t help but be swept away by the groove as it carries us all the way to the end. A bit special. Then on to ‘Remorse’ and the guys spook things out a little with a ghostly whispered samples and an off-kilter break rolling under paranoid synth stabs and pads. As more booming subs kick in the pace picks up with shuffling snares and heavily filtered sonics that fill the speakers to drive it forward hard, while still retaining a huge sense of space that’ll see this in the DJ boxes at the deeper end of the spectrum.
Big support from Nu:Tone, Jubei, Spectrasoul, Alix Perez, Kasra, Logistics, Sabre and more.

SIG016 Steptoe – Calibre Signature 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Massive Massive Massive Massive 12” from Calibre. The likes of Danny Byrd might be top of the pops but within underground clubs this is the Anthem. With its half time dnb tempo & Dub groove Calibre drops an absolute bass line bomb. Drum & Bass/Dubstep has a contestant for the title of ‘best bassline of the year’. Giving the subs of sound systems around the worlds a serious workout. Steptoe’ reminds us all Drum & Bass means Drum and BASS. One word sums up this track.. Skank!

PRINT001 Wasp Factory – Zero T & Bailey / Calibre & ST:Files Footprints Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Introducing the new label ‘Footprints’ from Zero Tolerance set to launch in the next few months. Two big first releases to showcase, audio can be found below, first, over to Zero T to introduce the label….. We at FOOTPRINTS are setting our stall out to provide something we feel has been missing from the zeitgeist for too long now…. That something is “90’s Music”…..yes folks, its been 10 years since the 90s and we for one miss it more than ever. It was a time when music metamorphasized into so many wonderful, radical, heartfelt and completely new forms. Unfortunately, life and culture moves in cycles and i think we can all agree that the “noughties” was a largely forgettable era for ALOT of reasons. The complete dominance of consumerism in our world has , combined with the Net 2.0 revolution, sucked much the life out of this thing we call music. But every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and if Rage Against The Machine making the UK Christmas No.1 in 2009 is a signal of the backlash, the we at FOOTPRINTS hope to assist this return to an older Ethic: Motivated from the Heart , not the Wallet. So, in this new Decade we aim to regularly provide you with music made for your mind AND body, that will shake any building to its foundations but still stand alone as a piece of music, taking you to another place, time or mood when heard in its entirety.
We decided to start as we mean to go on…with a BANG!
FOOTPRINTS debut 12″ features label owner ZERO T and old friend BAILEY (BBC/METALHEADZ) combining to devastatin effect. “Wasp Factory” , as you may have guessed, is not a love song! Currently a favorite of everyone from Goldie, Ed Rush and Optical, Lemonde to Paradox and Loxy….Not for the feint-hearted!
On the flip of this comes a slice of paranoid funk from Belfasts mercurial Genius Calibre , alongside DnB legend ST Files of SOUL:R fame! “Devil Inside” has that familiar Signature/Soul;r roll to it, but the other elements may surprise a few: Dark gliding, filtered Reese bases undulate under a piano line to put a chill down your spine….something different from the norm!
Support from Hype, Fabio, Grooverider, Bryan G, Alix Perez, Spectrasoul, Commix etc.

SOULR044 Fade Away feat. Jo-s – Lenzman Soulr 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Emerging from relative obscurity Dutch producer ‘Lenzman’ has started making serious waves of late with his deep and soulful take on Drum & Bass. Influenced by Hiphop, Soul, Jazz and life in general Lenzman’s music combines the organic grooves of yesteryears with the energy and forward thinking attitude of Drum & Bass music. His productions are currently being supported by some of the scene’s most influential figures, including Goldie, Fabio, LTJ Bukem, Friction, Marky & Marcus Intalex to name but a few. The Dutchman has music forthcoming on respected labels such as Integral, C.I.A., Spearhead and Shogun Ltd. Also he is currently working on various high-profile remix projects and has a possible album in the pipeline. To put it short, the future is looking bright for Lenzman…

G-ILLAEP001 The Clergy EP – Gein Guerilla 12″ Vinyl x 2
Finish copy. Since their inception on Moving Shadow, Gein has taken the world by storm, spewing out a devastating arsenal of mindbending, eardrum-splitting chaos to be heard on the hardest, darkest drum & bass labels the genre has to offer. Now back in the bunker, Gein prepares for the release of their 2nd EP, THE CLERGY on GUERILLA RECORDINGS.
Featuring a trio of heart-stopping collaborations with NANOTEK, BREAKER and DIVERGE; as well as a devastating remix of the Killwaukee trio’s “Warden” (previously released on GUERILLA 003) by the South African ALGORYTHM generals, COUNTERSTRIKE, THE CLERGY is coming to recruit, and they’ll intoxicate minds and destroy brains by any means necessary. The title track, “THE CLERGY” (featuring label owner, BREAKER and newcomer, DIVERGE) is a cataclysm of raw, unrelenting energy. Forward-driven drums, mash-ups and explosive bass run this track, exposing the world to the key elements that GEIN is composed of. Highly anticipated “THE SERMON” finally sees the light of day after being on dubplate for months on end. Brutal bass and bone snapping drums roll on through before NANOTEK/GEIN collaboration THE MASTER rolls on through and cuts through your cerebellum, causing an aneurysm. Old school darkness and deviously clever drum edits smash the mirage of a good life to pieces, proclaiming “A HORROR TO ALL MEN THAT SEEK FAITH.” And as this vicious four-tracker comes to an end, COUNTERSTRIKE provides excellent remix quality on WARDEN. Think of it like taking your last breath… The final nail in the coffin. WARDEN REMIX starts off with a crescendoing build followed by militant tear-out drums and neck-snapping bass, that roll through like a bat out of hell.
Material support from Limewax, SPL, Dylan, Tech Itch, Evol Intent, Silent Killer, Cooh & More.

MEDI026 My World – Mizz Beats Deep Medi Musik 12″ Vinyl
Set to shine in 2010, Mizz Beats is the 22 year-old from Hackney (East London) who aided and abetted labelmate Silkie in the creation of one of this year’s certified bangers: ‘Purple Love’. Earning her stripes in the midst of the UK’s grime scene, she has already produced for the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Jammer and Lady Sovereign and she is undoubtedly one of the Anti Social Entertainment clique’s brightest prospects alongside Quest, Silkie, Kromestar, J5, Harry Craze and Heny G. Mizzy’s debut 12” on DEEP MEDi Musik showcases both her versatility and a lightness of touch that belies her years. ‘My World’ marries sloping half-step drums, offhand tom rolls and cleverly constructed synth work, conjuring a wickedly melodious groove. On the flip, ‘The Jester’ zips off in a different direction, carried by tougher, stripped-back drums and myriad 8-bit Gameboy bleeps, zaps and bumps. An altogether clubbier affair, but no less sophisticated, fans of Gemmy and Joker will undoubtedly approve.

HDB030 Natty / Ganja – DVA HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Rinse FM’s breakfast show host, DVA is a producer with a unique take on the UK Funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back precision into his tracks. ‘Natty’ is a prime example; drums stagger like they’re about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. On ‘Ganja’, a cartoonish ring-tonefriendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque drums and housey organ stabs. Factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums and sparingly used ragga chat and you’ve got a technicolour Hyperdub debut fresh for 2010.

ZER-002 Presenser – Non Person Channel Zero 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Helsinki-based Non Person has been crafting his quirky audio sculptures since 2006, embracing the city’s burgeoning experimental music scenes as his playground. From dirty club tracks to audio installations and deep listening, he is no stranger to the numerous ways of compressing organic emotions into expressions in data. Coming from one of the first local proponents of the new wave of multicoloured “beat” music moving feet in select locations around the globe, Presenser / Mi Empress is a study in elasticised electronic hip-hop and moist, yet fiery 140bpm bass structures.
The first release bearing the Non Person name, this one is a keeper. Non Person MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/n0npers0n Channel Zero is a new label run by Dead-O of Clouds with the aim of pushing new, forward-looking music to new sets of ears around the globe, with no boundaries set as to the type of music being released.

CON027 The Electrician – Mrk1 Contagious Music 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Smothered in trademark atmospheric stealth and slither, Move Your Soul has MRK1 making fanfares for imperial squadrons, and intercepting vintage female dance vocals in a hostage situation as he darts in and out of another of his chrome mazes. Remember when Peter Griffin from Family Guy is granted the wish of having his own theme music wherever he goes? MRK1 can conceivably pop round the newsagents to the sound of ominous intergalactic friction. Taken from the forthcoming potential lipsmacker Sound of Contagious album out soon, it stands in the gap between dubstep and electronica at its surliest, moving to an easy-to-follow path so that the mass of the situation becomes hard to take on the chin. In other words, it may move freely, but it still casts a serious shadow. Another album preview is The Electrician, which takes the rewiring of plugs to industrially draconian lengths. Synths are programmed to kick you both in the guts and your fillings as MRK1 walks the plank of spinning blades with a crystal finish, operated by a black-hearted Speak n Spell. Dubstep’s jackhammer blur of beats are dodged for a firm putting down of his foot while making the traditional aspect of dub stand out. It’s the sound of an extreme version of LaserQuest: complete with pinging crossfire across the bass wastelands, the power-packs are taking the weight of a real ready-to-go arsenal.Written by: Matty O http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/ViewReview/1460/

PSQ002 Untitled / 1993 / Horizons – Furesshu Project Squared 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. This 12″ picks up where Furesshu’s digital releases at a dubstep tempo on Echodub left off but also pushes into the deep, Berlin inspired techno sound that he is presently concentrating on. 1993 sounds fast for its mid 130s tempo, the bass drives the trackís pace and the delay affected stabs provide just enough melody. Horizons feels slower, you could perhaps describe it as a half step track although it twists up the formula for that sub genre. The bass evolves and changes throughout the track, rising and falling, coupled with drones and drums punctuating the track rather than providing a constant element. Untitled marks a change in Furesshuís sound. 4/4 deep techno; 11 minutes of gradual, constant evolution in the melodic parts of the track but the driving, perfectly toned kick drum and hi hats holding the groove in place.
Mastered by CGB at Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin, Germany.

HEK007 Beacon – LV & Untold Hemlock Recordings 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. The much in demand collab by LV & Untold finally hits wax, back with a stunning Mount Kimbie remix.
LV & Untold – Beacon – Possibly the most minimal tune to date by either artist, Beacon rolls on a bare bones set-up of deep swung bass, barely-there percussion and simple bleep-track melody. In the true spirit of the original dubstep pioneers, making very little, sound very BIG.
LV & Untold Beacon (Mount Kimbie Remix) – Mount Kimbie deliver a stunning remix. Layering a heap of their trademark melody onto the intro, following that with an instantly memorable rave hook, then easing us out gently with some sweeeet R&B inflected chopped vocals. Stunning stuff.
Big support across the board by Mary Anne Hobbs, Ben UFO, Ramadanman, Gilles Peterson, Brackles & Shortstuff , Rob Da Bank and more.

HENCH013 Rhythm / Pulse 80’s – Jakes / Mensah Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. The explosion of dubstep in the UK (and Bristol in particular) has dictated that the standard of production and new ideas is fiercely competed. Nevertheless, HENCH is one label that remains at the forefront of this ever-expanding scene. The 13th release from the imprint presents an outstanding 12” comprising of ‘Rhythm’ from label boss, Jakes, along with the debut release from Bristol’s rapidly rising star, Mensah. These tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from Papa ‘ench himself. The release will contain new exclusive tracks from Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform for debut releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah.
A. JAKES – RHYTHM is the name, and you can bet your bottom dollar that this tune has it. Immediately setting the step, a background siren gives the warning for what’s about to follow. With Jakes’ vocal defining the riff of the track, get ready for a bassline that’s best described as ‘underwater funk’. This tune’s had a lot of love from all the right people, and it’s not hard to see why – with Jakes’ innovative flavour stamped all over it – Rhythm truly stands out in the crowd.
AA. MENSAH – PULSE 80’s – Flip over for the bass-led rhythm of ‘Pulse 80’s’. Building the intro with a glitchy lead-synth and punchy kick-drum, nothing detracts from the simple yet effective pulse of the beat. When the bass drops, expect the dancefloor to be bouncing up and down in time. Showcasing Mensah’s diverse influences, this is just one example of the various different styles of dubstep productions he’s producing right now. Watch out for further releases on HENCH from this young-one, we are tipping Mensah for big things.

HENCH014 Broken String / You Fo – Tek-One / Komonazmuk Hench 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. For the HENCH camp, this is one very exciting release. Featuring the debut release on the label from Croydon producers, Tek-One, and yet another stunner from HENCH favourite, Komonazmuk. Both tracks exemplify what this label has become renowned for – bass-heavy, forward-thinking dubstep pressure – and it also happens that both tracks are absolutely killer! These tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from Papa ‘ench himself. The release will also contain new exclusive tracks from Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform for debut releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah.
A. TEK-ONE – BROKEN STRING This is one standout tune, recognisable from the off. A haunting synth with the kind of vocal rare in dubstep productions, brings you in gently to the drop. From there its all change – the drum roll makes way for a mechanical and glitchy bass riff that’s going to have people running for cover. With the occasional vocal stab, Tek-One’s effort is an outstandingly paradoxical release – both beautifully atmospheric and dancefloor-destroying at the same time. Having already remixed Way out West and Fugative, Tek-One are one’s to watch.
AA. KOMONAZMUK – YOU FO’ A return to HENCH from one of Bristol’s most exciting producers; Komonazmuk. And using ‘You Fo’ as a measure, its clear that Komon’s style has matured significantly during that time. This release is a heavily dubby and technoinfused track that is a real creeper. Building a moody affair from the off, the sub-bass is complemented by tripped-out stabs of the synth. One for the connoisseurs of what dubstep has grown into – ‘You Fo’ pays homage to the melting pot of styles that contribute to what this genre is today. If nothing else, this track dictates that whatever you do in 2010, you need to pick up Komonazmuk’s album dropping on HENCH later this year.

BMF001 Dirty Trumpet / Dirty Salsa – Sami Sanchez BM Funky 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. It was not the hand of chance which secured Sami Sanchez’s place in today’s DJs and producers arena as one of the freshest, most promising up-and-coming names. Sanchez got his first gig at a street party in Cuba. Playing a mixture of Reggaeton, hip hop, Garage and Ragga, he knew right there and then his future was in music. Whilst at University, studying a degree in Sound Engineering, Sami Sanchez starting working at the cult-status record store Black Market Records (currently BM Soho). Sami soon started extending his musical expertise to DnB, US house and the then-newly developed Dubstep and UK Funky. Combining his urban musical expertise and his Latin roots influences, Sami quickly progressed and started playing at top Latin club nights. He imminently became a favourite on the Urban Latin scene, playing alongside DJs such as Tony Touch, DJ Nelson, DJ Buddha, Don Omar, Tego Calderon, Andy Boy and Khrisy Angel. It was in 2009 when Sami suffered an acute brain injury, but through sheer determination and strong will to live, he is continuing to follow his dream. Only eight months later, we are proud to announce Sami Sanchez’s first official UK Funky release, ‘Dirty Salsa’ & ‘Dirty Trumpet’. Supported by Worldclass Management & BM Soho, the double A-side 12” is already causing a stir on the dancefloor. The dramatic, catchy ‘Dirty Trumpet’ and the hit-sy ‘Dirty Salsa’ are no doubt building Sami Sanchez’s reputation as one of the UK’s finest UK Funky producers. With a string of releases to come, a huge following of music loving fans – and with Sami’s determination to make it to recovery – we are pleased to welcome back the people’s DJ and the phenomenal cross-genre producer that is Sami Sanchez.
