Studio Pressure : Borneo (Clip)

Order from http://bit.ly/METHXX04

Methxx04 takes an international direction and sees the Metalheadz debuts of  ArpXP & Reza hailing from Italy and Poland respectively.

"Unknown Feeling" by Reza is a dubbed out minimal journey into drum and bass. Melancholy chords combine with snippets of vocal and a sparse break, which are all underpinned by the weightiest of basslines. With two tracks of this quality it's no wonder this release is a double A side.

Collectively the two tracks make for a killer release - yet another gem in the much sought after METHXX catalogue

Reza - Unknown Feelings

The B-side “Wonderland” decides to flip the darker vibes of “Black Heart” in favour for a more euphoric feel. House-like pianos and synths combine with whale cry samples and a powerful lead vocal that all just come together so…wonderfully.

As the synths float along and the underlying bassline continuously builds, a clean think-break sample in combination with a captivating piano-line take the lead and build upwards to a nice jungle-infused bassline. “Wonderland” is a laidback and funkier track in comparison to the lead single, but by no means lacks energy or depth. The warm and wobbling bassline rolls smoothly while the vocal sample rises up from underneath and reverberates over the crisp and addictively clean Lyn Collins sampled drum-break.

Icicle - The Edge (Black Sun Empire Remix)

Anyone who knows even the smallest amount about the rich history of Goldie’s Metalheadz label will know that its catalogue is full of defining moments, from the two-step simplicity of ‘Pulp Fiction’ to the all-encompassing rave review of ‘Up All Night’. Snatches of musical ingenuity that stand apart from the milieu, leading the way with great innovations in style and substance, creating an innate sense of timelessness that lend each track an inimitable Headz feel.

Continuing in that great tradition is Rido’s new single ‘Twisted’. With a background based in writing film scores, Rido knows exactly how to use music to draw out emotional reactions. ‘Twisted’ manages to walk the line of epic subtlety. Tense strings and sparse piano melodies provide an affecting backdrop over which New Zealand based artist Thomas Oliver’s vocals drift beautifully.

While the build up may be all beauty, there’s something of the beast when it comes to the drop. Fans of Future Cut’s ‘Obsession’ or Concord Dawn’s ‘Say Your Words’ will undoubtedly identify with the aesthetic juxtaposition at play in this track. However, Rido’s sense of subtlety comes into play once again as he infuses ‘Twisted’ with menacing bass combinations and expertly crafted ‘Amen’ and ‘Boymerang’ drum edits that never feel contrived or forced. 

Not releasing his grip on a sense of the epic, Rido offers up ‘Core’, another film score inspired track, for the AA side of this release. Gradually building and growing with an almost organic feel, this one slowly works its way into your consciousness before dropping into some eyes down D&B that will no doubt have the dance floor churning to its undulating bassline.

It is said that in the deepest layers of the subterranea, biology has no place… the complex mechanisms of old evolved relentlessly in ever-spiraling complexity, drawing their energy from the eternal thermal vents of the Worldcore. Mechanical beings woven within a delicate web of survival, spun into life from the sprawling hierarchical mechanism of the planet itself. In the dimly lit depths of one such level, subtle core alignment shifts spark their reaction, vents rerouting the intense heat through systems long untouched, spreading its energy across ancient precipitation tanks. Slow tendrils of steam curl upwards in the darkness, growing in intensity… feeding life into the machines of this place, setting the gears to their purpose. Lights flicker into being, and with them the metal orchids flourish, casting their alluring glow throughout the level. Life stirs in the fresh heat of the moment, the whirring of a thousand intricate mechanisms returning to life as wing films push against the air… every gear’s movement with a single purpose – to feed.
 
EATBRAIN presents rapidly rising Ukrainian producer NICKBEE with his GEARS EP, also featuring the eerie and alluring vocals of JOANNA SYZE. With these 4 delicately balanced and keenly crafted slices of neurofunk, Nickbee displays a refined sense of structure and minimalism, whilst delivering a powerful vibe for the dance. Half of the EP drips with dystopian spirit, bristling with razor sharp edges softened in NOWHERE TO RUN and WE FIGHT by Syze’s ethereal and alien voice. The Gears EP retains a sense of tight urgency and patient precision throughout, with GEAR’s tilted syncopation providing a light-footed and paranoid pace, while TOGETHER WITH FUTURE delivers a hulking stepper that packs a weighty punch.

Current Value // Rethink EP (Othercide)
Release Date // 
31st October Beatport exclusive
14th November worldwide
Vinyl TBC
Featuring remixes from Billain, Signs & Dean Rodell

Positioned in the gravity well between the main planetary body and one of its outlying moons, the long-range research vessel unfurled its kinetic battery and prepared for the moment for which they had waited for years, the alignment was close. As the heavenly bodies reached the critical moment, the gravity harness kicked into life, the power of a planet’s motion captured and funneled into the portal. Reality yawed away into void as they looked on with the fearful curiosity known only to the truest of explorers. She approached the lens with trepidation... the other unimaginable reality awaited –an unknown destiny.

Othercide Records present CURRENT VALUE and his RETHINK EP. With their freshest release, Othercide reach deep into a parallel universe to pluck out some of the hardest hitting sounds from the outer stratospheres of the most hostile environments of Current Value's territory. Following his much-acclaimed Biocellulose LP on Critical Music, alongside an array of releases on acclaimed labels Blackout, RAM, Bad Taste Recordings and Terminal - the RETHINK EP delivers Current Value's unique sonic aesthetic in full. With a trademark precise and tech-fuelled sci-fi aesthetic that featuring remix artists Billain, Signs and Dean Rodell riff off to devastating effect, these 6 fresh CV tracks and 3 remixes unleash a torrent of refined audio and synthetic funk aesthetics designed to tear apart dance floors immaculately.

One year had passed since the devastation of mankind. All life ravaged by the undead plague, a tide of death sweeping across the planet mercilessly, as the ever-growing mass of the lifeless swelled in its wake. The sentient population of the globe was reduced to pitiful numbers, hiding in the wreckage of once vibrant cities, long since destroyed in the futile battle for survival. Where once there was hope for survival, now remained only the ember of a desperate memory of a different future. The cycle of the dead was ever in motion, their ragged forms roaming in packs, haunting the urban desolation. Ever-dimming senses of their terminal animated corpses constantly ready to consume the living. An endless yearning to feed drove them relentlessly onwards through the desolate shadows of civilization’s end, whilst the earth below those skulking feet continued its galactic voyage obliviously. Above one such horde, a celestial alignment was unfurling in the cold depths of space. As the sun burned blood red against the horizon and the moon slid serenely across its infernal face, the light dimmed as heavy shade drew across planet. The shuffling of the horde paused as distant poured their anguish into the sky at the early arrival of night. Rotting faces raised to the heavens, the light of that unholy corona spilling across their putrid features. The dying rays of a bleak sunset penetrating their rotting sockets, as the SOLAR ECLIPSE leveled darkness upon the earth with raging eternal might.
 
Hungarian neurofunk legend CHRIS.SU returns to the EATBRAIN label in full force, following up his ‘Underground Culture’ label anthem and State of Mind Collaboration ‘Chariots’ with his first full EP – SOLAR ECLIPSE. From the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere of the title track in collaboration with label core JADE & MINDSCAPE, to the driven filth of THE LAST LAUGH, wrapped in the sinister lyrics of NUKLEAR, through to the shimmering but powerful sci-fi aesthetics of THE ARROW, Chris.SU delivers a pure slice of heaviness for one of dnb’s most vibe-laden imprints. Eatbrain smash it again in the depths of the shadow case by the solar eclipse.

BSE Podcast 023

Black Sun Empire feat Foreign Beggars - Dawn of a Dark Day (Receptor Remix)
Worldwide release date: March 25th 2013 (Exclusive to Beatport for two weeks)
www.facebook.com/blacksunempire
www.facebook.com/receptormusic

With support from a stunning cross section of industry players – Chase & Status, Pendulum, Friction, Camo & Krooked, Loadstar, Rockwell, High Rankin, Feed Me – and a position in the top five best-selling albums of 2012 on Beatport, Black Sun Empire’s ‘From The Shadows’ LP was one of the Dutch trio’s biggest accomplishments in their fifteen year, five album history. To celebrate? They’re serving up this disgustingly massive remix compendium.

Featuring some of the most exciting talents in drum & bass, each of the six remixes here offer a sizzling new slant on three of the album’s biggest tracks. All armed with their own character and uncompromising dynamics, it’s a challenge deciding which one to drop first…

‘All Is Lost’ starts the set with the perfect balance of emotional sonic star-gazing and gritty bottom-end welly. With stunning hymn-like vocals from Thomas Oliver and hype-hungry attitude from Youthstar, it’s widely regarded as one of the album’s boldest highlights. Naturally both Memtrix and Telekinesis have stepped up to the massive challenge.

Lifted fave Memtrix goes first. Opening with teases of the original’s euphoric synths, he lets the vocals breath for one second before BANG: utter bassline sickness takes over. Complete sonic bombardment of the senses, there is no mistaking Memtrix’s direction and focus for this prime-time piece of D&B naughtiness. And there’s no mistaking the raw power of Telekinesis’s remix, either… Igniting with piano-primed ‘lighters up’ intro, we’re soon pushed into the deepest end of the darkness pool with Youthstar’s spitfire delivery, a gut-busting halfstep groove and a murder of distorted bass tones. Flipping to full D&B tempo midway, it’s a strident party piece that will stay in your wallet or playlist from now until the 23rd century.

Next up, ‘Dawn Of A Dark Day’: A blazing unity of UK grime and Euro neuro, the day Black Sun Empire called up the Foreign Beggars for mic-duties was a game-changing day for the entire bass industry. Naturally both remixes pay respect to the fusion and fire of the original. Prolix takes the original’s swaggering halfstep intro and adds a touch more menace on the low-end and an industrial punch to the beats before dropping into a rampant, rolling speaker-smasher. No face will be left unmelted when you drop this. We guarantee it. Meanwhile Receptor adds his own interpretation with an instant uptempo kickstart and the creative use of drama-drenched cinematic strings and devilish Slayer-level guitars.

‘Killing The Light’ brings us to a fitting climax with two of drum & bass most distinctive, forward-thinking acts on remix duties. Delicately dressed with the heart-melting vocals of Inne Eysermans, the raw emotion makes ‘Killing The Light’ the closest thing to a ballad Black Sun Empire will ever write. Paying respect to this, Icicle sharpens the kicks and snares, weaves haunting pads into the mix and takes the vocal to the darkest place imaginable. For those looking for more of a laser-snapping edge, look no further than June Miller’s remix; bolstered with a gargantuan bassline and searing sonic flares, the Dutch-Anglo duo have taken the softness and depth of the original and subverted into a priceless peaktime banger that NO D&B DJ should be without this season.
