I have been working on those tracks after my To The Threshold Album, some of the tunes was in the process already while i did the previous album. You can expect from this release hard Drum & Bass tunes, again i have been trying to do my best on all of those tunes! And possibly best sounding as i can, as sometimes it was not easy at all to do the right sound. I added on this release also one more experimental kind of Drum & Bass, 4/4 track, would not say its a Crossbreed one, then Electro remix from my side project Pornothrasher, as i enjoy to do Electro too as many of you know. I asked MC Coppa to record for me vocals for the track that is on the EP, and need to say im really happy with the result, not the heaviest DNB track, but rolls really good and hard enough to kick your ass! The Rest is my solo i would say pure Hard Drum & Bass tracks, how i like to produce and to play! I hope you enjoy this release, again i tested it at gigs, and the tunes just went greatly, some of them some of you asked on the net already. Thank you so much, and buy the vinyl to keep them alive. release date should be end of October, 4 tunes on vinyl and 4 tunes as digital extra bonus tracks - if you buy the vinyl EP you get with it unique code where you can download the digital release of FSRECS 008 with the extra 4 digital only tracks, two weeks as usual the tunes on digital shops.

2009 saw the release of the first ‘Way Of The Samurai’ compilation which established the Samurai Music name early on with memorable tracks from the likes of Klute, The Upbeats, State Of Mind, Trei, Dose, Menace and more. 

For the 5 year anniversary of Samurai Music, we decided it was time to celebrate the occasion with another unique formation of producers we respect from all sectors of the Drum and Bass spectrum in a sequel to our first successful compilation. From the seasoned expertise of names like Marcus Intalex, Klute, ASC, Loxy &amp; Resound through to fresh talent Clarity, Pessimist, &amp; Overlook and introducing new names Mercy, Subtension, &amp; Paragon, there is something to please anyone who likes Drum and Bass in ‘Code Of Honour’.  

'Code Of Honour' is what we believe to be a comprehensive snapshot of what is great about Drum and Bass in 2012. As always with our beloved genre 'Code Of Honour' has moments that point firmly to the future and moments that celebrate and summarize all that has been great in the genre's history. 2012 has been the best year in Samurai Musics 5 year history and we feel this is the perfect cap to a year where we achieved many of our initial goals and built a firm foundation for further development in the years to come. 

The name 'Code Of Honour' refers to the Bushido code and the 5 12" samplers from the album are each named after an essential virtue of the Samurai code. 

"As solid a line up as I have seen on a compilation for a long time, 10 of these tracks have been in my set list for the last few months" Doc Scott

In 2009, on a typical sunny day in downtown Los Angeles, Gridlok was at his home studio fiercely working on his next album. Meanwhile a few floors above, a young woman was standing on the edge of his roof staring through the Los Angeles skyline contemplating about how her American Dream died long ago. While deeply focused on his task at hand, Gridlok was suddenly distracted by a loud scream, and then a bang, and then silence...

"American Dream" is inspired by this true event and pays homage to those who have lost their dreams. May we never lose ours.

META006 Sees <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lenzman" target="_blank">Lenzman</a> return in true style with the beautifully crafted “Empty Promise” 

Featuring his now renowned and revered signature future soul sound, “Empty Promise” glistens with that <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lenzman" target="_blank">Lenzman</a> quality to provide a result that is nothing short of stunning. Reaching deep inside with its unique blend of lush pads and subtle chords, layered in perfect balance above a bass line intricately crafted with <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lenzman" target="_blank">Lenzman</a>'s own pinpoint blend of Sub and mid bass harmonics to provide the perfect emotionally charged backdrop for the soothingly stirring, silk smooth lead vocal. Music for the heart and music for the soul.

In true compliment the flipside sees <a href="https://soundcloud.com/makoto-humanelements" target="_blank">Makoto</a> go in to deliver his own interpretation of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lenzman" target="_blank">Lenzman</a>’s hugely successful Broken Dreams. The main elements still ever present from the original (as they should be when the source material is this good!) <a href="https://soundcloud.com/makoto-humanelements" target="_blank">Makoto</a> switches things up leading with a rising synth line and cleverly delayed and verb’d vocal alongside a heavy helping of rolling drums to keep things moving nicely, while all importantly maintaining all of the essence that made the original as amazing as it was.

http://soundcloud.com/korrupt 's review:
“Baitface’s ‘Pangaea’ remix is full of surprises. The Badimup founder has taken Konvex’ original and add an oddly brilliant drum & bass angle on the out and out dubstep original. The Baitface remix ups the tempo, keeping the heavily resonating basslines but adding one or two new elements. The pace of the track is contagious and rages through its 4:34 length.  

“Different samples flow through the soundscapes, including an irregularly pounding force that is hard to describe. The constantly flowing low-end really adds much to the Baitface production, a perfect match for the crispy the high-end. 

“Baitface has ‘Pangaea’ a second life as a powerful tearout tune. A brilliantly powerful production!” 

This guy's come a long way since we first featured him! The FKOF gang is stoked to be celebrating 1,000 Facebook fans and a recent signing to legendary http://soundcloud.com/wheelanddealrecords‎ with long-time FKOF fam http://soundcloud.com/konvexdub (with a little help from FKOF fam http://soundcloud.com/baitface).

SpectraSoul - Memento (dbridge Remix)

Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 14 (since 1992).  His first release alongside frequent production partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder.  After their first release hit the stores they quickly picked up a wealth of DJ support across their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo Beats and Samurai Music.

By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky.  Branching out and working with other producers such as Survival, DLR & Philth has only furthered experience Ant’s skills at the controls over the years, Ant has also released his own solo material more recently on top of remixing for the likes of Lomax on Integral Records.  In 2014 Ant realised a lifetime ambition, securing his first ever release for the legendary Metalheadz label “Hungry For Atmosphere” alongside Mako, DLR & Villem with further releases for the label and counting going into 2024.

Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix CD’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G.  Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the radio shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio, Goldie, Bailey & Rene LaVice on their respective BBC Radio 1 slots over the years as well as BBC 1Xtra where Ant once hosted his own one-off 4 hour show, he has since additionally made 2 guest DJ appearances for DJ Friction on his Radio 1 show.  His DJ’ing work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Sarajevo, Vancouver to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK and EU wide. Additionally for the most part of the decade beyond 2010 Ant also worked as the Artist Manager for both Outlook and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, leading up the booking process, budgets and travel aspects for the festival.

Fast forward through to 2024; Ant is now responsible for the lead label management roles of both Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings and is based in Thailand, with a purpose built studio room recently finished the plan (alongside managing a mass of planned record label releases) is to get back to focusing on writing music more consistently than he ever has previously.
