Ancient Ways 001

Tracks

One of the most iconic album series in drum n bass is back, the fourth edition of Platinum Breakz has arrived and some are saying it is the best in the series. The album is largely made up of Drum n Bass’s best new players, with appearances from the labels first wave also appearing. The strength of the artists on the compilation says much about the healthy position Metalheadz is in right now and as an overall package the album is a perfect instalment in an iconic series.

A relative newcomer to Headz but no newcomer to the craft, Om Unit has in one way found his way back home as a student of early Metalheadz and then making his name within other genres. Timelines is a B-boy anthem of breaks, subs and bongos. Om Unit’s contributions to Headz have been very stand-out, just check the way Timelines moves from B-boy breaks anthem into dub soundsystem shaker- which indeed was a timeline for our very genre.

Om Unit Presents Cosmology. 9 tracks showcasing a new wave of beat production in the realm of Cosmic Bridge & label head Om Unit's signature "slow/fast" sound.

Curated by Om Unit for his Cosmic Bridge imprint the compilation features tracks from the first wave of Cosmic Bridge artists and includes 3 collaborations with label head Om Unit.

In 2 short years Cosmic Bridge has released material from Om Unit, Kromestar and Boxcutter and has given us Moresounds, EAN and Danny Scrilla; who after making their debuts for the label have gone on to make waves.

Unifying the Cosmic Bridge sound the compilation features grime and dubstep kingpin Kromestar's blend of deep dubstep romance and road-raw sci-fi boogie, Moresound's digi-dub and soundsystem modulations, former Various Production lynchpin EAN's rapidfire darkstyles and deft footwork jungle chops, Boxcutter's lush fusions of Footwork and Electronica, Danny Scrilla's forays into the unnamed airspace between dreadnought dub, halftime footwork & O.G '06 Dubstep and two appearances from Keysound's experimentalist 140bpm updater Epoch.

Highlights include a VIP version on Danny's Scrilla legendary 'X', Danny's collab with Om Unit on 'Gentrification' featuring the unwitting Giles from Foxton's Estate agency in Brixton plus Om Unit's jungle referencing collab with Moresounds, the long waited release of Kromestar's highly sought dub 'V7STX' and Epoch's revisiting of Om Unit & Danny Scrilla's 'Hunch'.

Om Unit's A&R sensibilities and his focus in pushing boundaries show in Cosmology's curation. Representative the label's catalogue, the diversity of styles on show across these nine tracks is unified by the talent of the producers involved.

Om Unit Presents: Cosmology (CBR009)

Nucleus & Paradox on Metalheadz Platinum…a welcome collaboration

The A side is a darkside monster, centred around the pairs breakbeat and sub bass mantra. This time they go for a classic think break roll out, stepped out to perfection. The track is underpinned by a menacing rave stab. To put it simply - exactly what you would expect of Nucleus and Paradox on Headz

Nucleus & Paradox - The Return Of...

Available as two different ultra limited boxed set vinyls from the Metalheadz store at:

This time Dom leaves the 2 step drop out completely as he goes in with more subs, more kicks and more dub FX. The best way to describe this VIP is the wild nature of Scratch Perry channelled through Dom’s engineering skills for the benefit of 4am London. Is that a Sleng Teng bass re-edit we can hear too?

Dom & Roland - Unofficial Jah VIP

The two minds from the south of the UK return with a 12” that shows all-the prowess that you would expect from the pairing, an original track and much requested for the VIPs only fusing of previous works by Ulterior Motive.

In the great tradition of track fusions within our side of DNB Ulterior Motive give us the AA, a fusing of a previous massive release for Metalheadz- Lost Contact and Forgiven. The track was made as a VIP for the summer festival season just passed only the closest of crew members and as expected caused earthquakes on first airings at Outlook and Sun n Bass to mention a few.

Ulterior Motive - Given Contact

Cartridge's "Another Way" is a furiously cerebral yet utterly
danceable effort; serpentine breakbeats uncoil over a devastatingly
tribal percussive undercarriage before subtle snatches of funk guitar
herald an utterly original approach to Amen science. Organic funk at
it's most intense and intoxicating.

Cartridge - Another Way - Ancient Ways 001 128kbps


Gremlinz & Stranjah - “Blues VIP” is an armour-plated rave banger steeped in the finest tradition of the classic 1996 Drum & Bass sound, effortlessly fusing twisted Amen, dark Jazz, retro-futurist pads and furious killer bee synths. Raucous, visceral and rugged, but tempered with a musicality and a restraint that make it all the more memorable.
