Counting almost three years in the game now, Demand Records have set themselves a mammoth task. To continually release music that cuts through the mounting levels of hype that surround the drum and bass scene of 2013 while retaining an edge of experimental innovativeness is no easy feat.

Luckily, by pushing the task onto the greatest talents of the deep, dark and creative side of the scene, the label have achieved exactly what they set out to do. Drum & Bass on Demand 2 is a collection of darkly intelligent beats from some of the label's biggest stars, as well as some incredible new talents.

Sciama - Between Veils [SMDE52]

Released on 5 Track 12" and Digital

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to voidvinyl.eu and Bandcamp

With a steely sound matching fathoms-deep echo chambers with metallic textures and precision drums, Sciama arrives on Samurai Music to press into the inspiring hinterland between techno and drum & bass.

Sciama is the production alias for Michael Watters, a producer who since 2019 has carved out a formidable reputation across a stellar run of releases on ASC’s Auxiliary label. While his music references UK bass, transcendental techno and industrial, the end result is a taut, focused journey through fractured, weighty rhythms and vast, ranging atmospherics tilted towards the darkness.

Between Veils is testament to Watters’ refined production, steeped in intensely detailed and layered sound design in constant fluid motion, whether locked to the grid or shifting across the surface of the track like grayscale snow drifts. Noise becomes a subtle tool in his hands, capable of delicacy as much as abrasion, and discord evokes a haunting beauty if you listen past the clangorous overtones he elicits from his pads.

Moving well beyond the boundaries of any specific genre, Between Veils winds up as a strong, independent statement on the meeting point between broad influences and clear intentions — a formidable addition to Samurai Music’s explorations beyond drum & bass and Sciama’s steadily evolving, singular style.

Broken Mirror EP

Pre-Order

Solace - Kimmerian

Iconic New Zealand drum and bass act Concord Dawn is 20, and the original line up of Evan Short (Kiljoy) and Matt Harvey (Matty C) are celebrating on the eve their 20th anniversary tour with the release of the brand new track '1999' and the news that they'll be releasing an EP of the same name next month on Klute’s label, Commercial Suicide. They've also added a couple of new tour dates as the anniversary tour edges closer to sold-out status.

Since forming in 1999, Concord Dawn quickly moved from being an underground act to an international music export, with their biggest track 'Morning Light' remaining one of the most memorable D&B tracks of the early 2000s. 

"'1999' is about returning to drum and bass that is hypnotic and entrancing, music that draws you in and compels you to listen rather than shouting for your attention," says Evan. 

"It draws on techno and trance influences of repetition and evolution, which hearkens back to the kind of stuff we made on the first few albums before we became perhaps a bit more “song” focused. When Matt was over in Rarotonga, NZ last year we talked about the nature of ostinato and repetition in music and how that was missing from newer drum and bass, and so we decided to make something along those lines."
