A Little While Longer: a longing for a brief moment in time. A thought back to days past and time spent with loved ones or friends. What we do with the brief moment we have in this life. What we decide is important enough to spend it on.

It’s been more than four years since Lenzman’s last project on The North Quarter. During his absence the label has hardly struggled, continuing to demonstrate its relevance with a roster of diverse and exciting international artists. This has set the stage for his welcome and long awaited return home with ‘A Little While Longer’.

Written over a space of three months, it tackles the emotions and challenges of a total change of rhythm and routine, frustrated confinement and overcoming a void in inspiration. In the end it was once again his close family that inspired his creativity and process.

This body of work was brought together by the use of old recordings and found sound, sampling bespoke piano pieces and through collaboration, as well as forever finding his inner thoughts and feelings as his primary guide. This brief moment in time might feel more like an interlude, but it's an extended one that shows off Lenzman's signature brand of Hip Hop influenced Drum & Bass music.

Kind Fiction return to 4 Corners with their debut Ep “Elmswood”. 

The success of their teaser release, featuring the soulful vocals and stripped back 808s of “Fumble” accompanied by the rolling liquid growls of “Kinder Days”, took the pair to number 2 in Beatport’s dnb top 100 & even enjoyed BBC Radio 1 Support from scene staple Kyrist.  This release showcases a reminiscence for the late 2000’s liquid, overlaid with licks of contemporary grit, bringing not only an insight into Kind Fiction’s past influences, but the conditions in which the tracks where conceived and developed.

Dialling back 10 years, Jon & Toby met in Leeds as fellow residents of Northern underground favourite, Overflow (now in its 10th year), both co-members of the Leeds DJ society, Audio Active they began to join forces on break heavy, liquid releases. under their existing alias’s Imprint & Colossus.

Over the coming years the pair continued to work together both musically and professionally in the world of nightclub management, most notably Canal Mills & D.I.Y Drum & Bass hub, The Old Red Bus Station, exposing them to a huge variety of both live & electronic music.

Having left Leeds towards the end of 2019 a decision was made to form a new joint alias, and following a tricky move to Manchester mid lockdown, the pair began work in Ernest from their shared home in the southern suburbs from which their debut EP takes its name and where the artwork for the release was shot. 

While the pair have a deep & rich history in the scene as solo artists. This is just the start of a very exciting new chapter for Colossus and Imprint and we couldn’t be prouder to be representing this exciting new duo. 
Strap yourselves in, this is Kind Fiction….

Toulouse's master craftsman Redeyes delivers his fourth album “Selfportraits” on Amsterdam imprint The North Quarter. Known for his deeply detailed, emotive take on Drum & Bass, the French pioneer has a career spanning over 15 years. After three previous projects on The North Quarter – including 2018's opus “Broken Soul” - he now returns with the profound “Selfportraits”. Written almost exclusively during the Covid-19 crisis, this album captures a time spent in sheltered reflection. Drawing on both musical influences and personal beliefs this album is both deeply personal and touches on important issues of our times. 

“The album was made during the lockdown and it all came together quickly. I was just spending time at home with my kids, splitting time between making music and home-schooling. It was just a time where I felt sheltered and comfortable with the music just flowing naturally,” Redeyes explains. “My music is not just dance music. I've always seen my art as something that transcends the dance-floor, and all the greatest artists in the world - from painters to singers to actors - have always been engaged in important fights. So why don't we do it, why are we not as engaged as our favourite artists from other genres are? Its time to make the difference, its time to be the change. This album is musically what reflects the core of my Drum & Bass sound. But this album is not just my own self-portrait - it's also the one of the guests. They speak the truth from their hearts out loud.” 

This album is a journey through vintage soulful Drum & Bass, soundscapes and beats and sees Redeyes at his most inspired. Through ten carefully pieced together tracks, the listener is transported through a mosaic of influences and emotions. With featured artists such as [ K S R ], Lovescene, Juga-Naut, DRS and DJ Flight, an important narrative is added to the warm and serene instrumentation. Redeyes continues to uplift and inspire: a soft spoken, gentle soul with a clear vision of music.

Some say that 13 is an unlucky number, but the 13th dnb vinyl release in our catalogue is here to prove the theory completely false. After all, how can you go wrong with Harland, who has shown to be not only a seasoned DJ but also a talented producer, and Mark System, who has been around for long enough to leave you absolutely certain that he’s able to always deliver the goods. 

The release is actually a kind of extended single because the vinyl comes with three tracks, and the digital bonus includes two additional tracks. But first things first. 

Side A opens with “Leo” – named after Harland’s recently born son (whose sampled voice you can hear right at the beginning of the track – followed by some sampled toys later on as well); a pleasantly progressing, summer-vibed roller with an emphasis on the low end. 

A2 is “Simon Lake” – another deep, warmly ‘purring’ roller, but offering a more late-afternoon mood, perfect for a twilight cruise through the city. 

Side B is all about Mark System’s remix of “Moon”, which is a balladic, slightly nostalgic quicker-paced liquid tune, rich with melody, vocal bits, piano samples, and feel-good vibes. 

The digital ‘extension pack’ offers Mark System’s another take on “Moon” – in the form of a beatless, chilled ambient track with a strong film soundtrack feel to it.
 
Finally, there’s Harland’s “Moon” in its original nature – another dynamic, laid back vocal-laden roller, with a soft bassline and a range of instrumental samples making up for a beautiful melody. A very personal release by a very promising producer, and – at the same time – an excellent bundle of quality sounds, especially for those who like to keep it classy and mellow.

Previously dubbed the "silent assassin" of the Metalheadz camp by Goldie himself, Mikal's music has always been characterised by quality over quantity. The Swedish born, now Bristol-based producer, has the ability to keep his head down in the studio only surfacing when he's satisfied and fulfilled with his sonic creations, something he's held in high esteem for throughout the genre.

His second album on Metalheadz is aptly titled 'Metalwork' and it comes 4 and half years after 'Wilderness', his debut album labelled a "true expedition" by Mixmag and an example of "precision-engineered drum & bass" by Juno. Just like the first album 'Metalwork' contains 16 thunderous tracks, from the opening track 'Journey Into The Reverb' which comes dubbed out and perforated with amen snippets, to the tumultuous temperament of 'Breaks & Pads' which is an instant Metalheadz hit and a linchpin to the whole project.

Collaborations are loosely scattered but perfectly placed as the likes of Visionobi, DJ Thor and RIOT (who has featured on 2 previous Mikal releases) are added into the mix, but for the majority of the album this is Mikal doing what he does best, flaunting his production skills and firmly justifying his position on the label.
