Gotcha

Plump DJs - Gotcha (Radio Edit)

Dreamland is the new feel-good anthem from the undisputed heavyweights of breaks, the Plump DJs. Ravers with a keen ear will recognize the vocal sample from the early days of drum n bass, although this 2022 rework delivers an entirely new spin.   

Over the past few months we have witnessed epic scenes of the Plump DJs playing sold-out shows including Stanton Sessions and their BreakOut tour in Australia - and the unanimous top tune of these nights? Dreamland.

"This is hands down the stand-out track in my set right now" says Krafty Kuts who quickly signed Dreamland to his Against The Grain label.

The release features a jaw-dropping suite of remixes including Pirate Jams who deliver a euphoric hardcore crowd-pleaser for the ravers, while heavyweight drum n bass producer Erb N Dub, whose recent tracks hit number 2 and 8 in the Beatport DNB chart, delivers a rework so dirty it should probably come with a health warning. Newcomers Dirty Supercar flip the script with a summery disco-house rework ensuring this release has something for everyone.

Left/Right presents his debut full-length album: ‘Big Rave Energy,’ a multi-genre journey through underground music and rave culture. In signature Left/Right style, the record features a spectrum of moods and emotions from euphoric (Big Rave Energy) to fierce (Put Down The Gun) to moody (The Way) and back. It also marks the 10th release on his newly-minted art & event brand CONDUIT. Dive in.

“it's this weird, mysterious joy... joyful music, y'know? it's this big energy, like, Big Rave Energy we're trying to come together to connect... to be human we're like nothing that's ever lived.”  

Message from the artist: 
'Big Rave Energy' was born out of a difficult period in my life starting with the pandemic: my studio was shut down, labels crumbled, I lost much of my team, and moved to a new city. It was a difficult evolution for me personally but through all of this my focus came back to what I really love about music and rave culture - a sense of wonder, power, and connection. In the album art, the symbol of the man ascending is based on that feeling: something that takes us out of our daily lives, something transcendent and supernatural. 
 
I hope you love this record like I do... see you on the dancefloor. <3

With the official release of their fifth studio album "The Coming Storm", the Freestylers announce their return to the forefront of the industry. After the boys dropped the single of the album's title track, it was clear that they had more up their sleeve. Now the original grandmasters of breakbeat are back with a vengeance, bringing the world their brand new 13-track, packed to the brim artist album titled "The Coming Storm", featuring collaborations with Synikall, Stereo:Type, Wizard, Sirreal, Laura Steel, Irwin Sparks, Fast Eddie and many others.

After a 15-year career the Freestylers have covered a full 360 degrees in the bass music genre, having played all the biggest festivals and most talked about nightclubs around the world, even the quintessentially British music show, Top of The Pops. With their first four artist albums "We Rock Hard", "Pressure Point", “Raw as F**k” and “Adventures in Freestyle” notched tightly to their belt, the duo was voted Best Band by Music Magazine, toured with Lenny Kravitz on his American Woman tour, rocked a crowd of 30,000 at Glastonbury Festival 1999, performed at MTV’s Times Square Millenium Party and played Big Day Out 2005 - it is clear that these guys have had one big adventure so far.

Through early tracks like “B-Boy Stance”, “Ruffneck” and “Warning”, their music progressed to seminal tunes like “Punks”, “Boom Blast”, “Fasten Your Seat-Belts”, “Painkiller” and more recently “Cracks”, “Frozen”, recorded with Joshua Steele a.k.a. Flux Pavillion and “Over You”, which featured Ami Carmine. In addition to their status as underground heroes, they have gained commercial success with their huge global hit “Push Up” and have had their music featured in TV and film, including the hugely successful comedy film Zoolander.

And now, after two years in the studio, it’s fair to say Matt Cantor and Aston Harvey are about to launch a veritable assault on the music scene with their new album “The Coming Storm”. Opening with the Illaman and Serocee backed "Ignite", the Freestylers move to the radio friendly "Yours To Waste" with Irwin Sparks. Followed by the speedgarage-esque "Falling" featuring Laura Steel, we proceed with the title track, taking the fusion of dub and jungle to another level - being a collaboration with Stereo:Type and featuring the moody and melodic vocals of Takura (of Flashing Lights/Chase and Status fame) it truly stands for the Freestylers sound for the new era. Not shying away from hiphop with "Who Got Da Buzz" featuring Synikall, the Freestylers continue to unfold a myriad of styles including the acid house cut titled "The Sound" featuring hiphouse legend Fast Eddie and many more straight up dance floor smashes. 

With their fifth studio album "The Coming Storm", The Freestylers showcase their ever-eclectic style and renegade approach to production focusing on everything in the bass music spectrum and with the new addition to their production team, Chris Bishop from Stereo:Type, they’ve ramped up their sound into overdrive. Whether they’re performing as a live band, sound system or DJ set, you know they are gonna rock hard. Prepare yourself for the coming storm!
