ALIX PEREZ - SLINK

Mean Teeth’s “We Hold On” was a standout track from Mayan Audio’s Summer Drum & Bass 2018 Lp and sets new musical levels for the outfit. A full expedition of powerful production wrapped around edgy vocal sleekness. “We Hold on” is a beautifully written piece of contemporary Drum & Bass.

Now the prolific NickBee has cast his deep, murky progressive tech fused and often left-field style that comes a custom with his cutting drums and morphing animalistic bass lines. Incorporating the dystopian atmosphere from the original and using an intelligent play with the vocal top line, the remix twists and turns with its hard hitting grooves and provides a shining example of NickBee’s ability to place his own sonic stamp but with maintaining the vibe from the Mean Teeth track.

Never conforming to any set mould, NickBee’s allegiance to innovation makes a quirky, experimental element a defining factor of his music and next-level sound design, which is never forced or overdone; only a tastefully applied balance of hi-tech and low-fi skill.

Mayan Audio have landed a huge remix from NickBee who will continue to remain a prominent figure in the future sound of drum & bass.

Alix Perez - SWRV

A duo responsible for some of the biggest tracks on our label over the past couple of years, Volatile Cycle return to Lifestyle this month, showcasing their broad range of production skill with two slick cuts of modern drum & bass.

A pair we’ve been championing for a while now, VC have been consistently delivering interesting and forward-looking dance music for the label, since we first had them on-board in 2017. A duo that have become synonymous for wicked collabs, thanks largely to their ‘Volatile Cycle and Friends’ series here at Lifestyle, which has seen them cranking out bangers with some of the scenes most exciting and emergent producers.

For this release they’ve put together two very distinct tracks of dark drum & bass, drawing on a range of sounds and influences to great effect. The result is a versatile and slick release, which will hit the target for any DJ aiming to murk the dancefloor.

Arpoon is an acidy roller, an atmospheric cut with heavy sci-fi vibes. Built around a stabbing mid-range that pops and flutters its way through the tune, while rich, warm low end rolls out the monotonic bassline, all pushed ever-forward by a big, lively break.

Own You has VC teaming up once more with Bristol’s Primitive Instinct (a collab that last gave us the techy banger Gully Tuckshop), again returning deadly results; Own You is a big, fat, fuck-off slice of neurofunk heat. The beautifully cinematic intro sets the scene, but nothing can prepare ears (or feet) for when the lush melodics fall away; dropping into a perfectly crafted, minimal reese groove. Crisp sound design and excellent use of space give the track serious weight, with enough air to let the funk breathe, but enough coarse, hard tech to get your face melting. This one’s a masterclass in producing modern sounding, interesting neuro, from the fizzing basses to the insane drum programming, it’s guaranteed to switch up any set and pop it off.

and finally their freebie, Again, is the dark horse of the release, a standout track in that it marks a departure from the heavy tech sound VC have become known for. More like a deep liquid cut, this track oozes emotion and attitude, from a warm, ambient set-up, it drops into a rich, deep and rolling beat, a fuzzy filtered reese pushing the low melodic line, while a live-sounding drum break clatters and shuffles over the top. Still present is some thoughtful bass design, interjecting and adding that VC flavour to the tune, and it’s still got a dark, brooding vibe. An unusual addition to the boys catalogue no doubt, but we think you’ll agree an incredibly listenable one.

Full Stop

Charlie Milan Cummings, professionally known as Amalgamate, is a UK-based Drum & Bass producer hailing from the Welsh capital of Cardiff. 

As is suggested by the alias, his productions amalgamate an array of musical influences, all of which glue together to form a crisp, dynamic, and high-octane frenzy of 170BPM fuelled sounds. His debut EP, ‘Destroy Humans’, provides the perfect snapshot into this, with a melodic frenzy of synths, stabs, and succulent sound design, reesy manoeuvres, colourful percussive plucks, and blistering bass processing at the forefront of the project. 

As well as producing, Charlie is the founder of the D&B record label @breakbeatsandbasslines , which aims to bring a new dimension of fresh, high-octane, and idiosyncratic sounds to the genre. Also a freelance music journalist and MA student at Cardiff University, Amalgamate is dedicated to pursuing a life abundant with the music that he loves.
