After a brief hiatus, Discipline return with their 5th installment, with a lot more to come as we move into 2023!
We delve deep into 4 interchangable moods from label curator, Antagonist. Each track carefully deconstructing elements and crossing borders taking inspiration from a broad field. We begin with Hyperdrive Dreams, a crisp drum loop sheltering icey pads giving the listener a space voyage to remember, easing into Transport, which could form the backing music as your craft docks into the space station to refuel!
Landing back onto terraferma , Watercourse guides us back through lush green treelines and dense forests with the touch of ethereal arp loops , layered behind sharp drum edits throughout. The final sequence in the title track ends the EP on a high, a 4/4 time signature from Antagonist pushing the scope wide, drawn out brass vistas accompany distorted bass sounds from the rear keeping your focus locked throughout. A solid journey from the unique artist for your collection!

EPISODE 17

Astral Mix Series   Episode 17 [@antagonistuk]

Woodland Noir

Manchester based DJ/producer Antagonist cues up a collection of dense and uncompromising electronic tracks on his R&S Records debut. The ‘Rites’ EP pulls together 5 new tracks that lean on the artist’s drum ‘n’ bass roots and influences, a sound that has informed his DJ sets and studio productions since he launched the project in 2004..

Layers upon layers of shadowy ambience and wistful tones are punctured by hard edged beat-science, as Antagonist goes in deep on the complex breakbeats, chopping back and forth knifelike loops and dynamic kicks. A highly accomplished debut for the R&S label from this sonically exciting young producer.

After what feels like an unholy passage of time since our first 12" release, Discipline is extremely pleased to announce that we are back in the game with a sequel that, while tonally quite different from our first, should be right up the alleyway of any discerning DJ of expressive, forward-thinking Drum and Bass music. Antagonist's "Cycles" is a cinematic excursion through a carefully sequenced procession of moods, seven and a half minutes of spacious, balanced dynamics, squalling acidic stabs and sparse percussion punctuated by sharp Amen cuts in the final stretch. Cycling through a range of emotions, the carefully crafted delivery, and the gradual emergence and departure of each theme add up to a gloriously coherent statement.

Samurai Music Decade (Phase 2) is made up of 12 tracks and nearly 90 minutes of music, which will be combined into one digital release and spread across three 12-inches and a 10-inch record. Contributing to the cause are a number of label affiliates, including ASC (who we're told offers a rare 170-BPM track), Calibre, Sam KDC, Ancestral Voices and Homemade Weapons, while Shiken Hanzo and Antagonist each make their Samurai Music debut. Cover art for the release comes from Defame.

Antagonist - XY 
Released on the Samurai Music , digital only exclusive bundle - Outliers:1
--
" Selecting tunes for releases on Samurai Music is difficult as there is so many great tunes on offer. The absolute cream of what we get sent makes it to releases on vinyl, so resisting the temptation of digital only releases creates a backlog of high quality tunes. Outliers is a collection of music from the Samurai family of artists that were all in contention for vinyl release, but for one reason or another slipped through the cracks. Most of these are still in heavy rotation in many of our DJ sets, so rather than hogging them, we put together a collection for a Bandcamp only release. No DJ promos have been sent out, and most have never been played by more than a few select Samurai DJ’s and the producer themselves. Outliers shows the depth of talent these producers have with these sitting on their HD’s without a home. We don’t plan on moving into the digital only release field any time soon so maybe we can have this series as a semi regular substitute. "
