New D&B Releases





SOM012 – State Of Mind – Nil By Ear EP 1 (2X12” & CD Album shrink-wrap bundle) – 12″ Vinyl x 2
2X12” & 11 track CD Album shrink-wrap bundle. Nil by Ear is Sate of Mind’s third studio album, the first two being Take Control (Uprising) & Faster than Light (SOM). This album represents the peak so far of the lads technical skills, its carefully produced from start to finish. Tracks are frequently tied together, and a lot of thought has gone into the flow of the album. This is one that can be listened too from beginning to end, as opposed to a collection of singles. However that doesn’t mean that State of Mind have forgotten about the 3am raver. Almost all of the tracks have all been smashing it up world wide over the last 6 months in their own right.Collaboration wise, the album features several of NZ’s most talented vocalists including Shapeshifter’s P.Digsss, Thomas Oliver, Sacha Vee, Mc Woody & PNC, as well as American singer 3pm. The only production collaborators are Nymfo and DNME. Several other collaborations were planned for the LP, but in the end were unable to fit.  These will be released as bonus tracks.

b State Of Mind Nymfo & Dnme – Keep It Simple
c State Of Mind – Punkd
d State Of Mind – The Downward Spiral

SOULR049 – Marcus Intalex – 21 [Vinyl Edition] – 12″ Vinyl x 3
The Vinyl version features six D&B tracks on 3×12” Vinyl. From the bright, florescent metallics of ‘Celestial Navigation,’(feat S.P.Y.) through to the darker tinges of the sharp-edged, sparse landscape of ‘Hot Hands.’ D&B gets a slightly more menacing dub makeover, while ‘Paulista’ (feat S.P.Y.) & ‘Wacky Races’ both hold the layered, tightly produced drum programming that Intalex is known for. ‘Meltdown’ is a typically immaculate, roller that stems from collaborating with Calibre. The album’s standout is the beautifully emotive ‘Climbing Up The Walls, which features the vocals of Drum & Bass producer Danny Fierce, and stands as a breathtaking, adventurous take on Radiohead. These tracks are currently being championed by the main beat seekers of D&B such as Radio 1′s Fabio & Grooverider, Hype, Friction, Tony Coleman, Nu Tone. Ant TC1, Andy C.

ADRS004 – Sensa & Haste – The Place / Don’t Forget – 12″ Vinyl
This is quite possibly Audio Danger Records biggest release to date. It features up and coming artists Sensa & Haste (AKA HYBRID MINDS). Sensa has been bubbling under the surface for sometime now and it was only a matter of time before he would be releasing tracks for Audio Danger Records. His skill, along with Haste’s passion for the music shows the pairs diversity in this formidable release. Audio Danger Records are proud to have this pairing on board. The Place oozes with originality and uses simplistic beats and rhythms to create a wonderful abstract piece of Drum and Bass. This track could be played in most sets as it has mass crossover appeal and the concept flows seamlessly throughout. Sensa & Haste (AKA HYBRID MINDS) have truly brought something new to the table. Don’t Forget is a punchy bass-line roller. It uses the straight beats of much of today’s dance floor tracks with a sick bass line that is sure to get any dance floor moving. The groove in this track is what sets it apart from other tracks in its sub genre. The tune is a must for all and Sensa has truly shown his skill in this rolling bass heavy track. Support from UKF, Netsky, Camo & Krooked, Crissy Criss (BBC 1xtra), Utah Jazz, Zen, Savage Rehab, The Risky (DnBArena Podcast), Stanza and many more.

SUBTLE005EP – Nebula – Astral Soul EP – 12″ Vinyl x 2
Despite the fact that he hadn’t even reached his teenage years around the time of Jungle’s hey-day in the mid nineties, that’s the sound that still influences Nebula (aka Peter Saunders) the most to this day. The “Astral Soul” EP focusses on the atmospheric and meditiative side of Nebula’s production but the breakbeat manipulation and rumbling bass people best know him for are still to the fore. Rough and smooth, ethereal and brutal, fast and slow, the strength of this collection is in the finely balanced juxtapostion of these contrasting elements. While there there is a journey to be made within each track, there is another to be made in traversing the EP as a whole – you might just feel like you’ve reached some far away universe by the end ! Whether it’s the drifting atmosphere and acrobatic amens of “Encounters”, the lush pads and tough beats of “Warm Currents”, the glistening synths and crashing snare-step of “Astral Soul”, the machine-gun rhythms and strings of “Escapsim” or the trippy breakbeats leading you to the “Hidden Oasis”, this is an adventure where horizons are broadened and new discoveries made throughout.

a Nebula – Encounters
b Nebula – Warm Currents
c Nebula – Astral Soul
d1 Nebula – Escapism
d2 Nebula – Hidden Oasis

NU12050 – Triad – Crooked – 12″ Vinyl
Normal service is resumed on Nu Directions, returning to 170BPM with an offering from some of the drum & bass scene’s most forward-thinking producers, Triad. Triad is the name given to german duo Henree and Basstikal. Both established producers in their own right, their meeting of minds has given their productions new depth and a totally original approach to drum & bass. Releases on DSM, Critical and Horizons, plus their excellent remix of Omar’s ‘Lay It Down’, have laid the foundations for what is to be a fruitful 2011 for this collaborative project. ‘Crooked’ is a shuffling minimal work-out which uses dense atmospheres and growling bass stabs to create a haunting mood, before breaking into it’s techno fuelled, energy soaked finale. ‘The Puzzle’ again captures Triad’s unique ability to create musical soundscapes. With light snappy beats and deep stirring synths creating a track that sounds as fresh today as it will in 10 years time, future music.

b Triad – The Puzzle

FOKUZLP007S1 – Donnie Dubson – Monday Is The New Sunday Album Sampler – 12″ Vinyl
In the impressive flow of new talent in 2011 on Fokuz recordings we already had the pleasure to present the sound of Brother, Command Strange and Intelligent Manners among others. The next flavour of the funky liquid melting pot called Fokuz Recordings goes by the name Donnie Dubson. Berlin based Irishman Donnie O’Sullivan aka Donnie Dubson started releasing his funky rollers on Have a Break and Influenza Media and already featured on Fokuz on the Chronicles of the Deep LP together with Stunna back in 2007. The Grapefruit / Battlecat release on Influenza Media in 2009 got him a lot of attention and is still heard in dj sets today. This brandnew 12 inch is the sampler for the upcoming debut album called ‘Monday Is The New Sunday’, and is a good taster of what to expect! A – Rolling Roller: As the title suggests this is the roller in its purest form. Light stepping beats full of percussion and a solid deep subbass breathing on the background. Subtle edits, humming vocals and synths going from side to side to take you into a deep trance on the dancefloor. Rolling Roller is featured on Lenzmans Metalheadz podcast 24. B – Grey Jeans: Showing his funky side Donnie is a little hapier on this cut. The beat is heavier than the Rolling Roller, but the vibe is funky and warm. Most def a summer tune for the nicest time of the year! Sing along with the bassline, and make your head nodd.

New D&B Promos





REDSEAL009 – Tokyo Prose – Introducing Tokyo Prose (Phase 2) – 12″ Vinyl
Limited Edition coloured vinyl: Mixed Dark Blue & White Vinyl One of the most anticipated releases for some time, we are proud to bring you the debut recordings from young Auckland, New Zealand duo Tokyo Prose. Discovered very early in their careers by DJ Presha, the two Sam’s were signed to Samurai Red Seal as core artists in a long term development deal. It has taken a few years to get to the point where we have this debut release fully polished and ready, but as you will hear the wait has been worth it. These 2 producers have quickly formed a very distinctive style that has been drawing fans in their droves. As well as many general fans of Drum and Bass music, their eager fanbase boasts name DJ’s and established producers before they have ever had a fully available product to purchase. ‘Introducing Tokyo Prose’ brings stylish swagger and musical substance to a scene overflowing with identical bare boned rollers. Gliding between minimal ambience and deep soulful steppers, these gifted young men aptly display their knack for sample selection and unique groove building. DJ support has been consistent from names like Calibre, Spectrasoul, Lenzman, Loxy, Random Movement, Lynx, Presha, Sinistarr and many more.

b Tokyo Prose – Knucklehead

Limited Finish copy promo. Brand new on Exit Records from arguably one of the most prolific artists this year ASC – This release follows on nicely from his more experimental direction showcased on his Auxiliary label. Discordant almost industrial-esque soundscapes with an amazing depth, these tunes have been aired regularly by the likes of dBridge, Instra:mental and more. Don’t sleep on this one!

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

Ingredients kicks off with the first of four 12” singles taken from the Recipe Book LP. Kicking off with Krakota’s “Be Myself” which has had huge support for the past 6 months. If you haven’t heard this where have you been?!? Big tune & great timing for the summer months.Young Bristolian Pessimist returns & brings something completely different for the flip. “Abstract” is some late night, industrial power. Very dark, very eerie & packs an almighty drop. This guy is definitely one to watch. Dj support comes from SPY, Total Science, Dbridge, Spectrasoul & more.

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

DISF013 – Youandewan – Youandme (on My Mind) / Zeal – 12″ Vinyl
Next for Disfigured Dubz is the debut single from Leeds based producer Youandewan The story goes that one day whilst relaxing by the pool in Ibiza, Ewan’s manager played some of his demos on the soundsystem with Skream in company and he was gripped, two tracks were signed to Disfigured Dubz and here they are. A: Youandme (On my mind) harks back to the days when 2 Step garage ruled the London airwaves and gives a nostalgic look back to the pre-dubstep revolution. A crackling warm Rhodes loop and atmospheric field recordings warm the cones whilst vocal snippets creep in and float amongst the classic 2 step beats. Tension builds, temperatures rise and the bass blows like a cool breeze on a summer’s afternoon. AA: Zeal is the perfect complement to the A-side. Again with the winning combo of Rhodes piano, soulful vocals, snapping 2 step beats and glittering effects that bring the feel good factor to a maximum. This one just oozes sunshine.

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

The VIP mix however picks up where the original left off, Truth have kept the tension and energy but have deconstructed and rebuilt upon its foundations to create surely one of the biggest drop’s in the scene. DJ Support: Mala (DMZ), Skream (Tempa), Joe Nice (Dub War/United States).

Genetix are back with an EP that will rattle your chest with bass and make your head explode. I can confirm, this has happened too many of my friends and has got me in a great deal of trouble. “Beast Mode”, my pick of the lot, is a collaboration with Persist and is an absolute assault of disgusting basslines, switches and filthy beats produced at the highest end. Then “Termination” and “Stealth” offer up more terrifying, futurist and hard edged Dubstep that is certainly not for anyone with a heart condition. Strictly dance floor bizzle!

Depone is a producer that has really caught our ear at the Z Audio towers of late and when you hear these tunes, I’m sure you’ll understand why. All 3 tunes are fierce, dirty, gritty, disgusting and overall very well produced. The great thing about Depone is that he manages to create in your face music without pointlessly wobbling the LFO filter. There’s some real depth to this young talent and I’m sure you’ll be hearing some more great music from Depone in the very near future.

New D&B CD




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

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

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

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

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

TEAL001 – West Norwood Cassette Library – Blonde On Blonde / Blonde On Blonde (Pearson Sound Remix) – 12″ Vinyl
Following the critically acclaimed debut-release of BOB BHAMRAs WEST NORWOOD CASSETTE LIBRARY alias TEAL Recordings presents BLONDE ON BLONDE as its seminal release. This one is surely ment for the dancefloor: an addictive bassline, and a stomping house beat executed as were it a hidden gem dug out in a New York pawnshop. The ubiquitous RAMADANMAN hits the flipside under his PEARSON SOUND monkier, with a rehash of BLONDE ON BLONDE; with subtle references to the original version DAVID KENNEDY takes the remix to quite different, but equally interesting, places. Lush early morning vibes! – A must have! Support from, UNTOLD, 2562, BEN UFO, SHORTSTUFF, MOSCA, PARIAH.

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

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

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

No doubt, you’ll remember where you were when you heard tracks like ‘Limit to Your Love’ or ‘I Never Learnt to Share’ for the first time. His self titled debut album, released on February 7th, promises to change the game forever.

New Bass Music Promos




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

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”.

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

a Telekinesis – Déjà vu
b Telekinesis & Kinetic – Lithium

New D&B Promos


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

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

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

EXITCD001 Blackpocket – The Album – Steve Spacek Presents Exit Records CD
Few artists nowadays can claim true originality in the music they make; artists who have their own unique sound. You can easily spot a DJ Premier break, an M.I.A. chant, or a Timbaland beat, because these are the artists who have etched out their own niche in the musical forum. These people push the envelope with their production, keeping things fresh, exciting and interesting for us lowly listeners. Steve Spacek is one of these people.
Steve White forged his music career in the early 90’s with the dance act Stex, which also featured Johnny Marr of The Smiths. He went on to found the band Spacek in the mid-90s, and quickly found underground success.

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.

New Dubstep / Funky / Techno Promos


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.

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.

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.”

Posted 29 June 2010 | By | Categories: news, tracks | No Comments

Only it’s second release in and Marlow’s No Comply Recordings brings you a sure-fire dance-floor anthem. Kids are chanting along to the lyrics in clubs all over the globe – ‘Dubsteppa, Hot like Pepper’. -Yeah it’s that one!

A. FUNTCASE & SOUTHBOUND HANGERS FT. RAFF – DUBSTEPPA

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

After the success of ‘So Vexʼd’ on Circus Recordings earlier in the year, Funtcase teamed up with Brighton duo ‘Southbound Hangers’ to create the almighty ‘Wizard Sleeve’. With the help of MC Raff, the south-coast boys now take it one step even further – Dubsteppa. Due to its infectious lyrics, this track is easily one of the most recognisable and memorable tracks in DJ sets right now.


Southbound Hangers, Funtcase & Raff

Brutal half-step beats cut through razor edged mid-range synth-bass madness. A clever and subtle mixture of precise fills and edits sit in perfect contrast against the in-your-face yet simple bass riff. Nothing more need be said about the lyrics – you all know them, you’ve all heard them. And Raff only confirms this track as an essential purchase.

B. THE NEPTUNE PROJECT – AZTEC (MARLOW REMIX)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Described by The Others as ‘the master of intros’, Marlow creates tension and suspense in a schizo blend of an enchanting intro vs the most gnarly and disturbing Marlow creation to date. Twisting and turning, the bass line slowly matures into bit-crusher mayhem. Percussion fills and clever cuts placed between evolving bass fluctuations keep this remix captivating throughout.

DJ support from: Rusko, Caspa, Chase n Status, 16bit, Crissy Cris, Jakes, Mistajam, Excision, Datsik, Stenchman, Trolley Snatcha, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion.

NZLP002S Innuendo Phase Three – Trei Samurai Music 12″ Vinyl
The final vinyl component of Trei’s critically acclaimed debut LP / CD ‘Innuendo’ unleashes a collaboration between 2 of New Zealand’s most potent dancefloor technicians. State Of Mind & Trei got together to produce the final tune for ‘Innuendo’ and the collective vibe was instantly focused directly on maximum crowd movement. ‘Thunder Biscuit’ was produced in one day of fruitful abour with all 3 talents at the boards. The reaction from around the world was positive and swift, with every DJ sent the tune supporting as soon as they got a chance to play out. ‘Innuendo’ on the flip is the title track of the LP, and serves up a menacing, rollicking vibe with breaks climbing all over the punishing, winding bass. Trei has personally used this as his opening tune for some time and if you need a statement of powerful intent, then ‘Innuendo’ will provide for you every time. Dj support from Pendulum, Ed Rush, Friction, Klute and many more besides.

BCHEM001 Bad Chemistry / Fear – Gein Bad Chemistry 12″ Vinyl
“Man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as serious as physics, chemistry, or money” The wait is finally over. With a mindset of D.I.Y. and a vision of the future, drum and bass producers GEIN unleash their new record label BAD CHEMISTRY RECORDINGS on the world’s ears. And with five years of production credit, as well as 5 years of record label management with HABIT RECORDINGS, the trio is set to stir up the drum and bass scene with a conceptual label that defies people’s set standards. With Bad Chemistry, GEIN is turning heads all across the board with collaborations you would come to expect, never expect, as well as new solo material that breaks stereotypes. And with support from major players in the drum and bass world, the hype is growing daily. The first release is the fitting “Bad Chemistry” produced by GEIN, backed with “Fear” with additional production by newcomers Biolysis. “Bad Chemistry” is a neurotic techy monster that is definitely made for the dancefloor, with a demented breakdown that keeps the crowds screaming for more. “Fear” is what happens when evil meets futurism, with heavy beats and sinister basslines. And this is just the beginning. With forthcoming collaborations with Tech Itch & Jakes, The Chosen, Audio, Mayhem, The Sect, SPKTRM, Counterstrike, Cooh, as well as solo tracks from GEIN, SPKTRM, Demo & Ewun, and more, Bad Chemistry Recordings is ready to prove to the world that not all things can be explained… bad chemistry is good chemistry.

DW02 Jealous Eyes (Utah Jazz Remix) – Smooth DrumWise 12″ Vinyl
The second DrumWise release with a bit different flavour, brings what’s finest in drum and bass. Utah Jazz remix of Jealous Eyes is a proper liquid roller with catchy vocals and funky piano theme. After the intro, the bass lands deep in the groove, and builds a perfect connection with the rhythmic section. The Piano shortly moves away but soon comes back to create an unforgettable romantic mood. As in the first release Smooth’s colab was a bit darker. This time on the B side his own masterpiece is light and groovy. A Melodic intro with violins and smooth pads go into a heavy rhythmic conjunction. After the breakdown the story continues with a perfect ‘disco’ build-up and finalise in a passionate synergy of beats and melodies.

EXIT018 Inner Disbelief – dBridge Exit Records 12″ Vinyl
Finish copy. Exit Records bring their busy 2009 release schedule to a close with this outstanding 12” from label owner dBridge, featuring two tracks that have been consistently played over the last few months by djs such as Goldie, Friction, Alix Perez, SpectraSoul, Fabio, Doc Scott and Marcus Intalex amongst others. A 12” getting massive DJ support from across the scene. ‘Inner Disbelief’ is reminiscent of some of dBridge’s Gemini Principle LP tracks with a more dance floor friendly edge, but as usual without compromising quality control. It’s yet another example of dBridge using his vocal talent to compliment his productions and create his signature flavour of “aggressively beautiful” music. A re-arranged piano hook sample layered upon a moody bass line and driving beat provide the backing for this very catchy and listenable song. On the flip we have another track from dBridge entitled ‘5th Floor’. What appears at first to be quite a sparse track slowly builds into an all out roller with its musical elements becoming more and more frequent and drums gradually layering up to create pace and energy. This track screams out classic dBridge in every sense with its clever use of musical stabs, eerie atmospheres and growling sub bass.

darkestralex001
DARKESTRALEX001 One Man Jettison/Boundary Part 1 (Afterthought) // Decorum – Sabre Darkestral Excursions 12″ Vinyl
LIMITED EDITION 500 copies on Black & White streaked vinyl, untreated black reverse board with overprinted logo. Sabre has built a name for a certain depth in his productions, and here forces the creation of a new project for Darkestral (Excursions) which came into being on hearing this cinematic trio of pieces. Falling into musically evocative areas such as soundtrack composition, the more minimal region of dubstep and future drum & bass, Sabre here gives vent to his more thoughtful, isolationist side, where constraints have been thrown out in favour of musical freedom and the use of naturalistic instrumentation, beautiful cellos and strings perfectly encapsulate the feeling of being on a lone drift in outer space, with a certain chilled air wrapping all three pieces.
Darkestral Excursions has been brought into existence to display a series of aural ventures into the farther reaches of the beat spectrum, an edge of universe collection of anti-gravity constructs for the adventurous inner-space traveller Selected as first pilot on this mission, the cinematic compositions of Sabre, already known for a sense of spacial definition but here freed of dancefloor constraint and able to run free with the more esoteric perspective often contained in his productions ‘One Man Jettison’ in title and sound design called for the creation of the latest Darkestral project, a particular home at the front of the mothership, a capsule prepared to journey to the outer reaches, solitary and mournful, encapsulated by the strings and feeling that an intrepid journey into the unknown was upon us all, that moves into a feeling of readiness to see the mission through. ‘Boundary pt.1 (afterthought)’ follows as an epilogue and a prologue to a fantastical new horizon, textured and psychedelic, beatless and airy… ‘Decorum’ – strings and a glowing halo at the end of worlds introduces a muted brass and lush, though exploratory off-step beat as the touchdown on a planets surface is described in a sense of wonderment.

LUCKYDEVIL007 Liberty City Blues – Data / Incident & Paul SG Lucky Devil 12″ Vinyl
After a brief hiatus, we return with a delicate slice of wax that epitomises what LDR stands for – new, original music from hardworking, young artists. After the success of Data’s “Blowpipe” on LD5 and a string of genre-busting releases on labels like Metalheadz, Critical, Revolution and Tempa, Data brings us a grimy gem in the form of “Liberty City Blues”. Incident from Hungary and Paul SG from Austria blew us away with this track which featured on our recent Knowledge Magazine cover CD mix. “Liberty City Blues” is a minimalistic piece of jungle music reminiscent of early Photek or Source Direct. From the outset the tune just bubbles with menace and keeps on building and evolving throughout. A pure bass-heavy slice of proper jungle. “Autumn Drops” is a soulful roller that shows that this crew are ones to watch in 2010. Full of melancholy, icy vibes and a subtle basslinethat gets right under your skin, this track is a firm favourite for this year.

LB005 All Ends EP – Limewax & Current Value L B Recordings 12″ Vinyl x 2
Triple Vision proudly welcomes L B Recordings to the drum’n bass roster. Limewax is the man behind this label. This young man has been releasing tunes under Dylan and Tech Itch’s wing since 06 and they both have been hammering his releases over and over. You will probably never hear a set of these guys without at least 3 Limewax tunes in it. After a series of serious 12″ he released his greatly anticipated ‘Scars on the horizon’ album on Technical Freak. Things just got messier from that and nowadays mister Limewax is touring the world with his razor sharp beats, strange offbeat like rhythm patterns and ghastly soundscapes.
For this brand new double pack EP Limewax teams up with German Angstgegner Current Value. Current Value has been releasing his particular drum’n bass since the late 90ties on labels like Position Chrome and is now seen as one of the pioneers of this hard drum’n bass style. 2012, the day of Silence is the name of his new album and is due to be released any day now. One thing is for sure: this EP is not for the faintharted. Make sure to tighten your seatbelts, say goodbye to you dear ones and let the music take you to new dimensions.

b Limewax & Current Value – Shape Of Space

EX7002 Swagga – Excision & Datsik EX7 12″ Vinyl
Vinyl copies of EX7001, Excision – ‘Yin Yang’, sold out in a matter of weeks, while the digital release has been sitting pretty at the top of the Beatport dubstep chart ever since it was dropped. Now, following on from their immense first 12”, EX7 is back with an even more impressive pair of dance floor killers. EX7002 has been getting plenty of attention from all comers, with dubstep, breaks and even drum & bass DJs all clamouring to get their hands on it. The A side, ‘Swagga’, was a feature in Excision’s DJ sets on his recent UK tour as sweaty crowds of teenagers rushed the decks shouting “Play Swagga!” in anticipation of its filthy bassline combinations (we kid you not, we feared for our lives…). Not only that, but ‘Swagga’ is the only non-Rusko track that Rusko’s been battering on all his recent radio mixes; for proof just check out his recent Breezeblock mix for BBC Radio 1. Teaming up with fellow Canadian, Datsik, once again on the flip, Excision creates another mechanoid-influenced stomper that hails the beginning of Armageddon. Monster bass and super-hard beats are what ‘Invaderz’ is all about, another piece of heavy artillery for Excision & Datsik’s sonic armoury. **Watch out for Excision & Datsik remixes for CTRL-Z & The Freestylers and Wu Tang Clan hitting the streets soon.**

EAR012 Chicken Foot – Clue Kid Earwax 12″ Vinyl
It’s been a while now since Clue Kid released his debut single here on ‘Earwax – ‘Halogen’ and ‘Down & Dirty’ (2006). We are very pleased to have him back on wax, demonstrating his progressions as he’s has mastered his art. The lead track ‘Chicken Foot’ is a one for the clever stepper who likes his wobble to be little more deadly and refined in delivery. It’s a banger alright but one with plenty of restraint and fine style. Opening pads chime a deadly warning before the wonky bassline thumps in, heavily grooved and heavily weighted. Sporadic conga riffs cut through on point, adding to the momentum generated by the no-compromise bassline. Hold out for the 2nd drop as it twists a new way round! Flip then for the equally deadly but more stripped down ‘Shifty’. Perhaps not the most appropriate title ever conceived but a fine piece of heavy artillery nonetheless. Taking a 2005 Loefah sound (and supported by him for this very reason) and redefining it in a Clue Kid style. Excellent quality rhythm and bass music with a dark and unforgiving edge. Support from: Pinch, Loefah, Mary Anne-Hobbs, Plastician, N-Type, RSD and many more.

Kryptic Minds first release since their highly anticipated ‘One Of Us’ Album on Loefah’s Swamp81 label. Kryptic Minds show they have many strings to their bow in the shape of this killer 2 track 12” on their own Osiris Music uk imprint. X_Life Continuum shows the guys going in deep with hard synth manipulation, warm pads and haunting choir which glides in and out effortlessly through the mix. Best listened to in a dark room, with a massive sound system, for people who like to feel the bass rattling they’re chest! Y_Wondering Why this is the yang of the flip, with a different feel altogether, in what only can be described as beautiful! With a skippy half time beat, and the sense of emotion from the off. As soon as the needle hits the edge of the record you know you are in for an emotional six minute journey. With a ghost like female vocal that glides through the track like a hot knife through butter. One for the head phones but also rocks the dance.
DJ support: Youngsta, Loefah, Mala, Headhunter, N – Type, Pinch, Distance. Mary Anne Hobbs.

CLDUB009 Coastal Dubs Part 1 – Ultrasound / Hizzle Guy Clandestine Cultivations 12″ Vinyl
The first in a series of Clandestine plates devoted to exposing the production talents of Brighton town. Presenting two producers destined to go a long way: Ultrasound and Hizzle Guy. Two very distinct takes on bass heavy 140bpm music, these tracks have been alternately blissing out and smashing up dancefloors around the world in recent months, so here they are for you to continue the trend. ULTRASOUND consist of two Brighton based DJ producers and a London based sound engineer. Between them these three have released a huge number of tracks across different genres over the years, DJ’d different styles of music in venues all over the shop, worked in record shops and are now behind the highly acclaimed “well rounded” label. For their first release as a production outfit Ultrasound have distilled Dubstep through a refined apparatus of trip-hop, soundsystem warmth, Berlin texture and sheer musical sensibility into something both unique and familiar. With big support from the leftfield of Dubstep and tastemakers like Belgiums Bunzero. HIZZLE GUY is a young Brighton based DJ who along with his Gangoon Dubz crew has taken Brighton by storm with his raw and instinctive DJ style and tunes. We really can’t overemphasize how much energy this guy has on the decks, and it transfers straight to his tunes. Dread is an absolute low slung monster of a tune in the rave, at once hype filled and drudgingly weighty, with a loping propulsion and gully vibe thats been sorely lacking from “dancefloor” dubstep of late. Think Slaughter Mob meets Cluekid and you’re part way there. Already getting big support from names like Sukh Knight and Afterdark.

DJ SUPPORT FROM: CASPA, N-TYPE, THE OTHERS, EMALKAY, PINCH, EXCISION, DZ, WALSH, MATT U, MRK 1.
‘No Comply’ is a brand new label from veteran dubstep producer Marlow, and he continues to carefully carve out his own sound with a classic blend of dense melodics, emotive vocals and pulsing basslines. ‘Druid’ is no exception: an intricate wall of music hits you immediately, crunching mid-range that doesn’t over do it, pulsing 4×4 drums, and plenty of colourful detail, all heightened by a sweet vocal akin to the soulful tones of Minnie Ripperton. ‘Cattle Prod’ on the flip, once again, utilises a powerful vocal sample to build the tension for a drop that squelches and squashes it’s way through the dancefloor. – ATM Review.

As the name suggests, ‘Blip’ on….the A centres around an incessant beep motif, slowly treated and effectedover time as the tune develops – sliding breaks, deep punchy bass, and then those gorgeous shimmering chords evolving throughout. On the B, Gatekeeper tackles Appleblim’s Skull Disco anthem ‘Vansan’ – expounding the original themes of texture created by delay and reverb and incorporating them into a 140bpm technical jungle piece. 9/10 [recommended] DJ Thinking IDJ Magazine.

HDB029 Sahara Michael / Fish – Ikonika HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Hyperdub’s original female producer Ikonika comes with this long-awaited release that lives up to all expectations, presenting two brilliant tracks that set the scene for her debut album due early in 2010. ‘Sahara Michael’ seems cryptic at first, but on repeated listens falls into focus, revealing its complex soul, marrying bright (dis)chords which contrast with the warm undertow of harmonies that flow throughout. The track steps into a bridge passage with a melody that recalls the funky worm melodies of prime G-Funk, extending the theme of contrasting polar opposites that the tune plays with. B side ‘Fish’ chanels early Detroit techno at its most abstract and painterly. Smears of bright vibrating chords flash frantically across the mix, building into thick harmonic meshes backed by a hard drum pattern before they solidfy into a triumphant melody. Strange and beautiful music, in a full-colour sleeeve to match.

RAD001 Medicate – Logos Radial Productions 12″ Vinyl
Radial Productions is a new label operating out of London, UK, inspired by deep, hypnotic, space-oriented sounds from the world of dubstep and beyond. Radial 001 sees label co-owner Logos kick proceedings off with his track ‘Medicate’. Medicate was inspired by and built in remembrance of the legendary DMZ nights at 3rd Base and the lights out, eyes down vibe which seemed to transport the dedicated crowd three thousand leagues deep. Many of us still look to that time for inspiration and this track stands in tribute. The flip sees Hyperdub recording artists LV step up and spin the original on its axis. Faint murmurs of technical bass play counterpoint to the tolling bells, while the bongos and perfectly balanced drum programming roll the tune out in skippier, 2-step oriented direction.
‘Medicate’ has received DJ support from LV (Hyperdub), Ben UFO (Hessle Audio), Pangaea (Hessle Audio, Hotflush), Blackdown (Keysound), Mick Pressure (Naked Lunch), Narcossist/Kowton (Keysound)
Blackdown (Keysound): “a lost gem – really harks back to an era of dubstep that is increasingly disappearing”
Ben UFO (Hessle Audio): “both sides of the release are great. Uncompromisingly eyes down vibes”

HDB028 Aidys Girl is a Computer – Darkstar HyperDub 12″ Vinyl
Some are saying, Tune of Year.. and finally on VInyl!!..Almost criminally luxurious post-UK garage sounds from Darkstar, who here check box one in the I-Spy book of faceless dance bods by not being able to lay their hands on a real-life girl to sing the hook, enlisting a talky computer program to do the business instead. But Aidys Girl Is A Computer is nothing if not sensuous; all swirling synthezisers, chiming percussion and skippy drums laced with whimpering techno-chatter that sounds not unlike an android deriving some salacious enjoyment from the warm jet of a Jacuzzi.

MM038 Die Alten Bosen Lieder – Vindicatrix Mordant Music 12″ Vinyl
Very limited pressing!!. MM is o’er the moon in welcoming Vindicatrix properly to the fold by announcing the release of his long player ‘Die Alten Bosen Lieder’…Vx recently manifested with ‘Private Places’ on MM026/MM030 in reMMix & original form courtesy of Shackleton & Baron M…he is a veritable troubadour who utilizes both the reverbed suitcase & damp palimpsest to regale his fibrous tales…the tuba also squeezes in ohm the act…roughly translated as ‘The Old Wicked Songs’, the album spans a three-track 12″ & eight-track cdr with unique wet-cobbled aplomb…Vx creates a tangible environment on his refracted pilgrimage thru pop’s outer-lying environs…there’s a ‘letting go’ to his work that enhances the well-heeled sonic gravel crunching on show…I recoMMend everything that seeps from the Nesst but this project in particular deserves a high frequency classical fanfare…Vx’s treated brass & woodwind ebb from the IBM like nothing Elst…four to the spore…BM

Marlow is by no means a newcomer to Dubstep. His debut release ‘The Rope’ back in 2006 on Storming Productions received big support from some of the scene’s major players. This went on to secure him releases on influential labels including Boka, Hotflush, & Scuba. ‘Machine’ and ‘Butterfish Remix’ in particular got massive support from N-Type & Caspa, and received significant Radio 1 play. This 12″ went on to become one of the best selling Dubstep 12″s of 2007 – Marlow had accomplished a lot in a very short space of time.

12″ Vinyl / Digital – Released 23rd November 2009 (Digital available on Beatport from 16th)

A): DRUID
The label kicks off with undoubtedly Marlow’s best track to date. His signature flavours are obvious throughout, and Druid sounds as though Marlow has combined all the best elements from all previous tracks, and blended them together to create one almighty monster. He somehow manages to leave that dreary half-step pace behind, and create a fast flowing energy that isn’t often found in Dubstep. A slick and sexy feel, yet heavy enough to justify it’s place on any dancefloor. This is an essential purchase for fans of forward thinking dance music.

B): CATTLE PROD
Turn over for some proper stomping British action. If you like it hard and trashy then this one’s for you. A bass-heavy track with halfstep rhythms, yet reminiscent of the late 90s Hard House scene, this meathead banger really does prove that Marlow isn’t afraid to be different, and he totally manages to pull one off.
