🇩🇪
Wir starten das neue Jahr mit einem besonderen Projekt der Völkerverständigung. “Joined Forces” wird von Wahl-Dresdner Tobax initiiert und präsentiert und enthält acht Mal sorgfältig ausgesuchten Drum and Bass. Was die Herkunft der Tracks bzw. besser gesagt die der Artists angeht, so geben sich die Producer aus dem russischsprachigen Raum und die lokalen Protagonisten die Basslines in die Hand. Marschrichtung der Compilation ist hauptsächlich progressiver Neurofunk, der insbesondere von den russischen Buddies um TNTKLZ, Decrese (Weißrussland), Despersion und Tantrum.Today geliefert wird – letzteres Projekt war bereits für die Vorabsingle verantwortlich. Und auch Kurator Tobax gibt sich keine Blöße und steuert mit “Waldgeist” eine harsche Schwarte dazu. Miss Redflower und Hasky als lokale Vertreter schlagen etwas melodischere Töne an, ohne den Grundtenor des Samplers zu konterkarieren. Und auch Clusta als UTM-Records-Dauerbrenner ist mit im Bunde, der hier mit einer komplett runderneuerten Version seines Tracks “Accelerate” aufwartet.

Mit dieser Veröffentlichung haben wir uns mächtig ins Zeug gelegt und Tobax hat sich damit einen festen Platz innerhalb des neu formierten Label-Teams von UTM-Records gesichert.

We start the new year with a special project of international understanding. “Joined Forces” is initiated and presented by Dresden by choice inhabitant Tobax and contains eight carefully selected Drum and Bass songs.

As for the origin of the tracks, or rather that of the artists, the producers from the Russian-speaking countries and the local protagonists hand over the basslines to each other. The direction of the compilation is mainly progressive Neurofunk, which is supplied in particular by the Russian buddies around TNTKLZ, Decrese (Belarus), Despersion and Tantrum.Today – the latter project was already responsible for the pre-release. And curator Tobax does not show any weakness as well and adds a harsh rind with “Waldgeist”. Miss Redflower and Hasky as local representatives strike somewhat more melodic tones without contradicting the basic tenor of the sampler. And Clusta, a continuous burner from UTM Records, is also in the league, who comes up with a completely redesigned version of his track “Accelerate”.

We worked intensely for this release and thereby Tobax has secured a permanent place within the newly formed label team of UTM-Records.

Tracks:
Tobax - Waldgeist
Despersion - Jedi
Hasky - Elements
Tantrum.Today - Doctor L
Decrese - Busted
TNTKLZ - Ridiculous
Clusta - Accelerate

Within the palm of the galaxy’s outstretched arms lies a veritable jewel of a world, supporting a rich and eclectic biosphere filled with both flora and fauna blessed with preternatural abilities by the benevolent grace of cosmic luck. Their homeworld’s existence within concentric rings of galactic and solar habitable zones bestows these beings with a countenance of primal grandeur, setting them apart from the other species spread across the galaxy on account of the singular strangeness of their existence. Chief amongst the denizens of this distant world is the spectacular Kahnao, a quadrupedal beast known for bearing forth a most sonorous vocalization.

With a snout resembling the brass horn instruments often found amongst the ancient cultures of humanoid worlds, the Kahnao’s facade hints immediately to the viewer about its primary purpose. With their population spread in small groups across the vast savannas of their homeworlds, the Kahnao have developed a method of communication that allows them to send messages across distances unmatched by the inborn abilities of any galactic species. Thanks to a vocal tract that runs almost the entire length of their bodies, the Kahnao are able to generate infrasonic frequencies that are amplified as they resonate along the string-like appendages that protrude from their mouths. The subtle differences in the bodies of each member of the species create a different chordal signature, a harmony unique to their form that serves as a communicative signature, identifying them to others across the endless grassland expanses of their home. It is said that when the Kahnao herds speak to each other in their great assemblies the entire planet’s surface reverberates in response, as these unique LIFEFORMS create a sonic experience that is without equal anywhere else within the galaxy.

L 33 returns to EATBRAIN with four alien sonic sequences that are replete with thunderous low-end frequencies which call the label’s widespread horde to attention before his latest offering, an EP that he titles “LIFEFORMS”. Within, the EATBRAIN veteran charts new territory for his productions while continuing to deliver the signature sonics that found him purchase on the label many orbital cycles ago, delivering a novel twist on his much beloved stylistic center across the EP’s four tracks.

Dive Bomb EP @ Virus Recordings

2x12" Vinyl Pre-order @ Redeye Records - tiny.cc/0pgrxx
Release date: 15 June 2015

Coming next on the always massive Virus Recordings is the Dive Bomb EP from Optiv and BTK. Together, the two producers have as much experience and know how as anyone in the game, and, coupled with that, only ever put out the finest quality neurofunk drum & bass. Fans and supporters have come to know them for the speaker-bursting bass and on-point beats, and they are at their very best on the new release for Virus.

Four tracks, which include appearances from Maztek and MC Kryptomedic, all show off different shades of the musicians’ art, and all show off the power and precision of what they do.

Optiv & BTK - Inside Out

Rock the beat

Divtec – Ozone

A sonic meditation on thresholds and protection, Ozone explores the fragile membrane between worlds—both planetary and personal. The track evokes the tension of atmospheric entry and exit, mirroring the high-stakes choreography of space travel with tightly controlled energy and precision. 

Beneath its surface, Ozone becomes metaphor: a call to safeguard the invisible boundaries that shield our psyche from intrusion and erosion. It’s a tribute to the unseen layers—planetary, emotional, and existential—that make movement possible without collapse.

Ozone: the second transmission. A sonic vessel breaching the stratosphere, tracing the burn of re-entry and the silence of return. This is the journey—exit, exposure, evolution.

When the fracture split the vacuum, the chrono-compass snapped to 174.
Courier-pilot Saint VII tightened the straps and slid into the seam of the cosmos. Inside, space moved like a staircase: every two beats a new level, every third an ironic wink from fate. Bass wasn’t sound but ore—mined with a swing-pick, packed into crates by layers, tagged with sharp breaks in the pattern so the route wouldn’t be lost.

On the far side waited the black market of gravity. They didn’t sell fuel there, only knots of rhythm: quick punches, toothy wobbles, strobe-lit syncopes—fresh, predatory, a little cocky. Saint VII slices time into slivers, flips the riff mid-flight, throws right-angle turns that leave the time inspectors grabbing a silent bar instead of evidence.

Landing: the platform of the dance floor. Containers open—and orange impulses surge out.
A short hit—“here,” a reply—“there,” the mocking sub clings to ribs and marches the room up a ladder of breaks—every eight bars a new turn, closer, rougher, bolder. Hands rise, air trembles, and time—embarrassed—pulls a reload: the same motif, louder and straighter to the chest.

Galactic Fracture is contraband geometry of rhythm: a raider’s log that brings back not fear from the cracks, but the urge to jump. Every track is a new step, every break a portal, every pause a sight line.
DEEPNAS logged the signal. Saint VII returned intact—so we can dive back into the rift.
