New D&B Releases
PM022 – Paradox – Paralexia / Ambiguity – 12″ Vinyl
As the Ramifications LP does the long-player rounds Paradox returns to the solo 12” fold with a fresh slab of analogue power. Paralexia steps into the arena with an alarm drone leaving you guessing what’s going to happen next and then a thudding-kick bursts a swinging breakbeat wide open in bluenote-esque fashion. As the track progresses the drums pick up the pace reminiscent of Paradox’s early work on the legendary Certificate 18 label. Dub vocal samples soaked in fx, eerie soundscapes and distorted subs add a deep rumble to the intricately-placed breaks and tension of Paralexia. Ambiguity has b-boy etched on its headplate from the word go. A rare breakbeat gets the full Paradox treatment and dragged back from the 70’s into the future. Sinister vocals and synth pads set an unclear mood whilst spinning-break patterns and sub booms tie the track together in true Paradox style. One for the beatheads! DJ Support: dBridge, Presha, Loxy, Fracture, Ink, A-sides, FD, Mark System, Aphex Twin.

MODULE009 – Mortem – Get Closer / Monoveler – 10″ Vinyl
Critical’s Modulations marches forward this time picking up even more new talent in the form of Mortem. Coming straight out of Poland this marks another solid step in Mortem’s burgeoning career, his first official release for the Critical stamp and a great pre-cursor for the future; there’s a lot more lined up in the studio where this came from, trust us! Smooth, ethereal pads abound as ‘Get Closer’ opens proceedings with tapping percussion and a rocksteady break that set the mood. A low-slung tech-drenched bassline is what this is all about and when it drops it rolls hard drawing influence from that old Virus space funk sound from yesteryear. A very polished piece of production indeed. ‘Monoveler’ is sinister from the off, industrial borders on the medieval as the intro paves the way into a future-glitch b-line that claws its way inside the mix as the bars move forward in a tense battle all the way to the bitter end. A very cool indication of what more is in store from Mr Mortem.

P51UK024 – Gridlok – Insecticide / Dirtball – 12″ Vinyl
America’s number one drum & bass producer is about to hit the streets again with a solo outing on his own label: Project 51. Ryan Powell aka Gridlok is no new comer to the game! After releasing his 1st single over a decade ago he has appeared on all the top labels such as Ram Records, C.I.A, Playaz, Renegade Hardware, and Violence Recordings. Not only that but throughout the years he has gained support from some of the worlds finest DJ’s such as Andy C, Hype, Marky, Friction, and many more! Now we turn the pages as USA’S number one is back with two stinking tunes worthy of a rewind. Starting off the proceedings Insecticide gets the ball rolling. With mysterious vibes, twisted soundscapes, and not forgetting those swarms of killer bees stinging at your ear drums, all before that heavy kick and snare starts piercing those speak boxes. The intro gets the blood pumping and then that dirty sub bass-line kicks you below the waist line. Hard beats and thumping bass is key on this number and will destroy any dance floor known to man! Do not miss out on this soon to be top shelf classic for many years to come as the man like Gridlok never fails to disappoint. Moving forward we come to Dirtball which again has that horror film, soundtrack intro, that will make you toss and turn in bed at night before that crisp beat and fluctuating bass punch you right between the eyes. Top hi-hats ride out into the night while the rest of the percussion sits nicely between those warped out moving bass notes and well produced beats. Gridlok is a force to be reckoned with as he shows us why he has been coined as America’s topnotch producer. I am sure we will hear more stormers in the months to come on his prolific label that has pushed the harder sound of drum & bass for almost a decade! (Words by DJ Silver)

DIS051 – Octane & DLR / Octane, DLR & EBK – Back In The Grind (Cern & Dabs Rmx) / Zulu Fade – 12″ Vinyl
As an amazing piece of work, there is no surprise that the tune could inspire some other great artists. For this one, both big Deep D&B heads Cern & Dabs, the Italian growing talent, decided to gather their efforts in order to revise the original. And something did happen. Cern is undoubtedly one of the deepest NZ producers of the moment. Remarked & signed by Gridlock last year on Project 51 for the great ‘Terminus’ LP, this is unquestionably his best work so far. A true hommage to the undisputed masters of the genre : Octane & DLR. They logically deserved a place on the Bside, joined by EBK for an other crazy masterpiece, ‘Zulu Fade’. A. ‘Back In The Grind’ (Cern & Dabs Mix) Because you can’t seriously have missed this one on the biggest worldwide dancefloors these last months. Andy C himself felt this is going to be one of the best remixes he’s heard all year, and so do we ! Cern & Dabs both provide all the strength and the energy that make up the very secret essence of the perfect dancefloor & intelligent tune. This is a ‘grind’ you’re going to love. AA. ‘Zulu Fade’ Octane, DLR & EBK From the very first steps you’re dived into the strange tribal world of ‘Zulu Fade’. Some original swollen basslines, special Octane & DLR imprint, meet the warlike drums and stark cold reeces of EBK. It’s grating, mighty, captivating. You’re in the jungle, surrounded by hostile faces staring at you. Warrior tomtoms start behind. Take your breath. And run. DJ support from: Hybris, Safire, Hydro, Vicious Circle, Survival, Marky, Ant TC1, Ulterior Motive, Andy C, Need For Mirrors, Skeptical, Xtrah, SPY, Artificial Intelligence, Amoss, Nymfo, Mindscape, Chris SU, Break & Kasra, to name a few.

EXITCD004 – Consequence – Live For Never LP (CD Format)
EXITCD005 – Various Artists – Exit Records Presents ‘Mosaic Vol 1’
New Bass Music CD
EXITCD010 – Consequence – Test Dream LP – CD
New Zealand’s downtempo-bass producer Consequence, aka Cam McLaren, always treads the line musically, to the point that the line became blurred entirely. His debut album, ‘Live For Never,’ reminded the electronic world of the intricacies and emotional heights of Drum & Bass, and carried the genre into new realms of sonic possibility. ‘Live For Never’ appealed to different scenes across the board (and around the world), receiving rapturous applause from electronic music’s toughest critics (Resident Advisor, Boomkat, FACT) and magazine gurus alike (DJ Magazine, IDJ). In March 2011, Consequence made his second album appearance on Exit Records with Joe Seven, as They Live: the duo’s ‘Cancel Standard’ was an immersive, sci-fi laced album that set the bar for the year rather high. Consequence decided to end 2011 with one more album, however: his long-awaited sophomore solo LP: ‘Test Dream.’ ‘Test Dream’ is not for those who expect the next logical evolution of ‘Live For Never.’ It’s also not for the unadventurous, nor for those who seek easily digestible music. Creatively free, Consequence revels in pure electronic experimentation, and the result is an album that follows no rules, and explores fractal dimensions that defy conventional genres. The downtempo compositions on the LP manage to hold the intensity and propelling urgency of high BPM electronic music, even though some of the tracks are relatively beatless. ‘Before I Go’ takes the listener to space and back, while ‘Can’t Say’ comes through with staggered synths and rugged drums, building an atmosphere where each sound tells a story. ‘Marlo’, meanwhile, is a welcome retreat from the tension built in its predecessors, with a reassuring melody, softly rhythmic snaps and handclaps, smooth vocals and warm pads. ‘Of Uncertainty’ reveals a slow beauty that builds with impeccable grace, adding colours, slowed vocals and tranquil atmospheres along the way. Ever a many-faced producer, Consequence’s album takes a few forays into more haunting, cryptic territories. ‘Just Water’, filled with creepy effects and sinister samples, leaves the listener nothing short of on-edge, especially with a finale that sounds not much unlike C3PO being ripped to shreds. And ‘Magda Trench’ sounds like a video game that’s burning under a microscope, rendering fractured pixels into outer space. Staying true to his roots, Consequence brings the album back through the tangles of the jungle, and voyages into heavier D&B landscapes. ‘Oden‘ and ‘Soul Sees Spirit’ feel slightly apocalyptic, with soaring ominous-filled synth builds and hard-hitting drums that will darken (and deepen) any dancefloor instantaneously. There are many surprises tucked within, too, of course. ‘Re-occuring’ has ascending melodies that sound as though they could dance in a Giorgio Moroder universe: a transportive space-capade that gives an aural tour through a cluster of stars. Powered by a stuttered melody on a wavering synth line, ‘Lovershell’ is one for code-crackers: an intriguing ball of chaos that slowly starts to make sense as it comes together. The dub-drenched ‘Slant’ starts out mysterious in feel, takes a swift turn for anxiety and suddenly breaks into an enigmatic poem slowly recited in a sing-song manner. ‘Untitled’, with a yearning vocal that floats through an ambiguous atmosphere, closes the album on that typical Consequence note: with lines being tightrope-walked and left obliterated. ‘Test Dream’ grows and unfolds more with each listen, giving way to explorations of dense sound universes.

HEK014 – Guy Andrews – Shades / Textures – 12″ Vinyl
Hemlock are proud to introduce the debut for Brighton boy Guy Andrews. Two tracks of brilliantly unpredictable, percussive wizardry with more twists than a season of the Killing. ’Shades’ combines of precision drum edits, killer 808 booms and woodblock percussion that will bring a tear of nostalgia to the eye of the Blue Note & Metalheadz vets and a smile to the face of the most discerning new dancefloors. ’Textures’ on the flip kills it with an arrangement that just keeps you guessing. Perfectly poised between light & dark, delicate & heavy, and taking you seamlessly from locked 4/4 to dubbed out techno via all-out percussive funk and back before you know it.

MEDI047 – Skream – Gritty / Phatty Drummer – 12″ Vinyl
Is there anything left to say about Oliver ‘Skream’ Jones the original Dub-step wonder kid that hasn’t already been said, probably not, but for those of you that don’t know here’s a brief history. Skream is one of the founder members of the then UK’s Dubstep movement alongside Digital Mystikz, Benga, Loefah, Kode9 etc and has taken the scene from its original darkest depths of Croydon to the top of the worldwide charts in less than 7 years. Currently one third of the chart topping super group ‘Magnetic Man’ alongside Artwork and Benga, the latter with whom he has travelled the globe DJing, selling out clubs, gigs and festivals wherever they go and who now have a semi regular prime time dance show on BBC Radio 1 showcasing the freshest and heaviest Dubstep joints. I think it’s safe to say without Skream the world of Dubstep would be in a very, very different place. Although some of Skream’s recent productions are finding their way onto daytime radio he has always been an ambassador of hard experimental underground UK dance music and this is exactly what he has delivered for DEEP MEDi. Gritty & Phatty Drummer are his second release for Mala’s (label and showcase Skream’s unquestionable production talent and ear for some of the coldest, stripped back skeletal rhythms around, both tracks are packed with enough dread and sub-weight to give you nightmares, strictly soundsystem music…

ACLBL001 – Presk & Cinnaman – Sweat – 12″ Vinyl
Having released the anonymous and enormous F**k Yonkers bootleg earlier this year, the Amsterdam based Audio Culture Label is poised to unleash their first official release,,a piece of music which is the result of the collaborative efforts of Dutch wunderkind Presk and Amsterdam’s premier tastemaker Cinnaman. In part, Pieter ‘Presk’ Willems’ support is responsible for the label’s inception. In a short space of time Presk has built up a solid and impressively distinct sounding catalogue of work released on respected imprints such as Ramp sister label Fourth Wave and Doc Daneeka’s Ten Thousand Yen. Making a name for himself with nothing more than his hands and impeccable taste, Yuri ‘Cinnaman’ Boselie has become somewhat of a musical institution in Amsterdam. He’s the man behind the ground breaking Colors nights and is responsible for the equally forward thinking Beat Dimensions compilations. The B-side features two expertly remixed and uniquely different takes on the original, courtesy of non other than Instra:mental’s Jon Convex and Ten Thousand Yen head honcho Doc Daneeka.

If you like you tunes big fat and heavy like an elephant on steroids, then get ready for an absolute pasting from new boy on the circuit, Depone! Depone is a producer that has really caught our ear at the Z Audio towers of late and when you hear these tunes, I’m sure you’ll understand why. All 3 tunes are fierce, dirty, gritty, disgusting and overall very well produced. The great thing about Depone is that he manages to create in your face music without pointlessly wobbling the LFO filter. There’s some real depth to this young talent and I’m sure you’ll be hearing some more great music from Depone in the very near future.
