Kazakhstan-based producer Command Strange continues his prolific run with the debut release for the fledgling Antillectual Beats. Those familiar with his releases for labels like Fokuz and Celsius will know what to expect - jazz-flecked D&B with sunshine melodies abound. "Shine" kicks things off with a Baltic tinged banger which hits hard in the low-end department, while "Sunrise", featuring the vocal talents of Iriann Joyce offers a more laid back form of rolling groove. "When The Morning Comes" offers more harmonic orchestral smoothness pushed forward by powerful breaks, while "Summertime" offers the EP's quirkiest - and best - track, with a junglist bassline and FX combo that pushes the sun-dreched guitar into the stratosphere. Essential D&B for the summer.

The brainchild of legendary drum & bass DJ Shimon, AudioPorn Records originated as a platform for him to flex his A&R skill. With decades of experience behind the decks as well as in the studio, it was only a matter of time before he shaped his own playing field. AudioPorn has been used to promote some of the most exciting newcomers, who’ve recently topped the Beatport charts and lining event posters globally. It demonstrates Shimon’s enviable vision, for both the label and its roster, which is slowly becoming more prominent with every subsequent release.

This next output from the imprint features none other than the head honcho himself. Presented alongside Benny L, a producer who’s been carving himself a place at the table since he began making music, they bring the heat on a sonic slammer which will tear up subs internationally. Hot off the back of their sets at this year’s seminal Let It Roll festival, it’s certainly a track that you’re likely to recognise.

Playing homage to his roots, Shimon returns to a darker, more underground sound whilst Benny L brings together more contemporary elements to create a record that’s intimidatingly weighty. Starting off with grave intentions, it ebbs and flows between a driving force and subterranean bassline. Crushing snare is prevalent throughout, adding yet more layers with every tide. The meeting of old and new school works perfectly, a harmony which translates into a track that’ll take you into the depths of any late night set. It’s a cut that detonated crowds at one of the world’s largest drum & bass festivals and on first listen it’s easy to see why. Cranking up the eerie atmospherics midway, Benny L and Shimon take you down into a world that’s defined by Shimon’s history. Vocal sample breaks up the mix, before once again you’re delved into a darkness held together by static volume.

AudioPorn is about being on the forefront of drum & bass. But it’s also about staying true to its roots. And that’s exactly what’s delivered by ‘Monsters’.

In 2018 Hospital Records flew the drum & bass family to the shores of Tisno for a five day getaway in the glorious Croatian sunshine. Ahead of the next ultimate drum & bass holiday, Hospital Records proudly present the ‘Hospitality On The Beach 2019’ compilation. Over 25 brand new tracks from the likes of Flava D, Grafix, Kyrist, Kings Of The Rollers, DJ Marky, Logistics, A.Fruit and many more, will provide the official soundtrack of the summer.

Bassline and UKG royalty Flava D brings her second official D+B release, ‘Human Trumpet’ following the Annie Mac favourite ‘Return To Me’. Her latest venture into 174 stylings is another slick display of effortless smoothness calling back to that classic Hospital loungecore sound.

Grafix continues his new solo mission with the dark, techy club banger, ‘Radiance’. Expect high octane tech with shimmering synths and skewed vocals to boot. Plus Cambridge brothers Nu:Tone and Logistics band together for a glorious summer dose of Nu:Logic magic on their remix of Netsky’s ‘Iron Heart’.

With prime selections from the likes of Metrik, Sweetpea, Kasra, S.P.Y, Chris Inperspective, Makoto, Bou and more, this mixed CD and digital release is best served loud, with crisp refreshing beverages, a beaming sun and sand between the toes.

I recorded this on NYE but its taken me a week to upload it as I needed to listen back. I hadn't mixed in a few months but on NYE I had an urge to record. I hope you guys like it. 

Here is where I would say I hope 2021 brings you more joy and pleasure but it seems we're already off to a much worse start than 2020. Oh well! It's nothing some good DnB can't fix right?

PLUR, Much Love <3
