New D&B CD
OKCD002 – Raiden – Beton Armé – CD
Raiden’s first full album intriguingly entitled “Béton Armé”. Named after a style of modernist architecture, a style that uses striking repetitive angular geometries using reinforced concrete, also known as ‘Brutalist’ reflects the inspiration, motivation and hard work resulting into a killeralbum that will contain twelve pieces to be released on CD and MP3. The album is naturally imprinted with Raiden’s signature sound, trademark technical heavyweight bass, organic tribal percussion, avant-garde drum work with a straightup dance floor mentality. During the mid-to-late 20th century the predominant style in Architecture turned toward the stark and functional. Known as Brutalism, this typically modernist style is defined by angular, geometric forms, proudly expressing the poured concrete that the buildings were constructed from as a feature in itself. The term, coined by British architects Peter & Alison Smithson in the 1950s, derives from the French, brut. In English, raw. Honest and for all to see The movement took hold, not uniquely, in the United Kingdom during the post-war effort to rebuild and restructure the nation. The philosophy was of function, a utopian dream standing proud and imposing alongside the natural landscape. Brutalism was synonymous with the outlook of the United Kingdom during that time: a declaration of utility over ornament. When I began to think about this album—my first—the theme of Brutalist architecture was already at the front of my mind. A particular reason for this is that, being a travelling artist, one thing I would notice in any new place is the architecture, and the thread of Brutalism has been apparent to me all over of the world. I envisaged this album in the same way I imagine the Brutalist buildings were envisaged by their architects: proud, imposing and direct. Like the buildings, the music is built to last and outlive trends. There is an attempt at interpretation and re-presentation of Brutalist architecture behind this album, particularly with respect to the human relationship with the built environment: the marriage of the organic and manufactured—of natural percussion and synthetic sound—is the prism through which Béton Armé represents Brutalism.

UM004 – Villem – Provide / Red Matter – 12″ Vinyl
Utopia’s new boy Villem drops two slices of ice cold beats in the fourth installment of future funk. The A side is ‘Provide’.

The flip side is ‘Red Matter’, a future black stepper, which brings a sense of menace without forgetting the all-important funk. Sci-fi effects and a cleverly edited breakdown ensure this 12″ will deliver on both sides. DJ support: LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, Makoto, Bailey, Loxy, Total Science, Break, Spectrasoul, Dj Lee, Flight, Survival and many distinguished others.

HESLP001 – Various – Hessle Audio : 116 & Rising (3 X 12” Vinyl & 2 X CD Format) – 12” Vinyl x 3 + CD
This format is 3X12” Vinyl & 2 X CD packaged together in a gatefold sleeve shrink wrapped. The compilation exists as a way to unite the entire Hessle roster, as well as allowing them an avenue to put out work by friends and producers they have been unable to work with so far. The first disc is all new work plus a second has a selection of choice cuts from the back catalogue. There’s also work from producers who they feel have shaped the label’s aesthetic, like D1’s ‘Sub Zero’, whose sub bass stabs were a staple of the early DMZ sets that they initially united over back in 2005. One of their close affiliates, Addison Groove is also featured, his anthem ‘Footcrab’ having done so much to bring the tough tempo of juke to the world’s dancefloors. The subtle pitch-shifting of a looping hip hop vocal and the polyrhythmic patter of rim shots and cymbals on ‘Fuk Tha 101’ are unmistakably his. Another producer previously unreleased on Hessle is synth-mad Randomer whose ‘Brunk’ features an industrial strength kick and finishes up with ghostly pads invoking musique concrete. The disc is rounded off by Bristol’s Peverelist, whose own dub-soaked productions, as well as those released on his label Punch Drunk, owe so much to that city’srich musical traditions. On ‘Sun Dance’ synth chords bring to mind the dystopian drum n bass of DJ Krust, the track driven forwarded by paper-like hi-hats and cymbals. There’s a single claustrophobic Hammond note held through to the close alongside the echoing sounds of water dripping in a cave. Disc one kicks off with the spritely chimes and shuffling beat of Elgato’s ‘Music’, whose muted vocal chant was used to such beautiful effect in Kennedy’s recent FABRICLIVE mix. Untold bring’s detuned chords, jangling glass and a cheeky synth line, breaking down into mutant funky house. Blawan’s ‘Potchla Vee’ reveals some unexpected instrumentation: the skittering of what sounds like the cogs of a clock gives little breathing room to the assault of tribal drums and processed grunts. The Pearson Sound track ‘Stifle’ seems to slow things down, with an adenoidal vocal snippet acting as counterfoil to the percussive snap of the drums, delicate EQing and synth washes providing characteristic texture. Once again on ‘Twice’, Joe demonstrates the effectiveness of unexpected drum sampling, with a disconnected beat cooked up out of error bleeps and the tap of a typewriter. Pangaea’s own contribution is a rave homage; oscillating between synth stabs and a filtered ragga MC sample, the track is layered with a bouncy acid bassline, creating a phantom jump up effect. Romania’s TRG was Hessle’s first release and here builds on his mutant garage template, with a reverb-soaked drum kit jostling against some analogue pads and a seagull-sounding distorted warble. James Blake, re-edits an earlier Hessle release, bringing the processed vocals to the fore much in the style of his recent album. It’s soul music that’s undecidedly electronic, the vocals screwed and chopped into the background, a virtuoso display of arrangement ordering a lacklustre pair of cowbells, a chorus of shuffles, croaks and pads into an infectious slow burner.

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

BUILD006 – Guido & Baobinga – Ballin’ / Bumba – 12″ Vinyl
If you thought we were spoiling you with the last Build release (Baobinga & Hyetal’s joint 12″, loved and played by pretty much everyone), then you should probably look away now. Yep, once again, the game has been upped most thoroughly: BUILD006 sees Guido, one of the most original talents to emerge from the fertile Bristol scene, team up with genre-blind bass-music badman (and label boss) Baobinga, for another collaborative 12″ of impeccable quality and taste… And of course, weird artwork. Pon the A, Ballin’ sees the pair take skeletal crunkstep as a starting point, before gradually building into an epic maelstrom of synth-led goodness, with an unexpected twist at the very end of its musical tail. Pinch’s first reaction on hearing was to demand a flat WAV to take to the cutting house – high praise indeed. Meanwhile, the AA, Bumba, may be familiar to fans of Jackmaster, who previewed an early version of the track on Mary Anne Hobbs’ Radio1 show back in April 2010. Slowing the tempo slightly, and with layers of custom-built percussion adding delicious ear-candy to the emotive collection of synths, strings and marimbas (!), this is the kind of tune where, as was once said about Derrick May’s DJing, you don’t know whether to dance or cry. We would recommend doing both, and then maybe having a sit down… Cos shortly after this release, Build will be dropping ‘Baobinga & Co. – Joint Ventures’, a full CDs worth of fresh collaborations with the cream of the British bass music scene. Dutty! Support from: Crookers Sinden Jackmaster Scratcha DVA Alex Nut Braiden Simbad Starkey Geiom Seb Chew Shortstuff, Brackles, Bok Bok, Hyetal, Pinch etc…

Rollercoasters of the Heart’s euphoria fuelled piano refrain combines with dub echoed beats and rolling, ground shaking bass before delving deep into acid bliss, juxtaposing the darker, melancholic yet tough and club ready So Cruel on the other side. If you get a chance to catch Bass Clef live, you won’t regret it!

Biogram v2 locks disparate vocal fragments and found sounds into a low-down, cranky House groove, peppered with a boogie down bassline and sweeping, straight-outta-Chi-Town strings. For the flipside, the in-house WNCL remix department selects a few choice clippings from the original to present a jam tailored for the trackheads with their feet on the dancefloor.

RWINA012 – Doshy – Suspiria EP – 12″ Vinyl
The ever-growing Rwina family is an international affair, including still to be discovered names raving alongside those who have been big in the game since day. Kicking off 2011 with a massive release by Swindle early on in his exploding career and continuing on with a hypercolour beats manifesto by the all mighty Eprom. This time Rwina has gone all-out for 2011′s Summer with this jaw-dropping blitz of a release by Doshy. Doshy is the first German to make it to the Galaxy of Bleeps in his shiny metal spaceship-come extraterrestial label ‘Robox Neotech’. His very own Space Odyssey 2011 started with this fresh vinyl release full of his finely crafted alien bass for Rwina Records. Dropping at the end of May 2011 – The ‘Suspiria’ EP, is full of sawtooth bass-lines & laser beam bleeps – a kind of ‘Southern Bounce’ Hip-Hop instrumental meets holograph-like neon textures that you’ve never heard on wax before. With global Radio and DJ support from jocks such as Distal, Eprom, Taz, Starkey, The Gaslamp Killer, Desto, Rudi Zygadlo, Jamie Vex’d, NastyNasty and more - this is a 12inch that belongs in the record bags of any DJ’s with a love for forward thinking, synth heavy bass music from across the spectrum of Dubstep, Grime and Glitch.
