intro – šum dažďa, jemné údery drevených paličiek, ženský hlas šeptom ]

Trắng như sương sớm
Hoa sen nở giữa trời
Trong tim con nước lặng
Nghe hương bay khắp nơi

[ refrén ]
Sen trắng ơi – xin giữ hồn ta
Trong ánh sáng ban mai
Sen trắng ơi – đừng tan biến
Giữa mưa rơi và khói bay

[ intermezzo – vietnamská flauta, jemné arpeggio gitár a ambientný beat ]

Tôi nghe gió thổi qua sông
Mang lời nguyện xưa
Sen trắng giữa đời người
Vẫn nở dù mưa gió

[ záver ]
White lotus in my dream
still blooming in silence
the water remembers
every prayer we leave

Hoa sen Trắng.

Context Audio
Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – CTX002
Release date - 19th April 2015
Artist – Emphasis

A. Emphasis & Unvariable - Fragile
B. Emphasis - Time Goes By
C. Emphasis - Exploration

Hard on the heels of the frankly epic Nesh EP, we're back again with three more pieces of underground D&B fire for your listening pleasure, this time from Emphasis, two brothers from Vienna.

Track one is Fragile. Sampled from a Sting track of the same name, it's a sublime liquid roller full of jumps and twists, powered by a epic vocal hook that'll ring in your ears long after the track's over.

Track two is Time Goes By. Another big rolling liquid track with a tactful inflection, this one's just a little bit deeper than the Fragile, but no less potent. DJs, you'll want this for your collection.

Track three is Exploration. The EP's namesake, it's a powerful, understated halftime weapon that drops and then evolves into a vicious, yet tasteful track.

Enjoy.

One year on from the launch of their inaugural “Rotation” programme, Addictive Behaviour’s various-artist shuttle orbits earth once more. On board this time, a crew of 21 intrepid pioneers, bringing with them a diverse spectrum of musicality and D&B engineering expertise to the quest. Armed, locked and loaded with an assault of sophisticated phonic weaponry, their mission is simple. Audio annihilation!

This 2nd chapter to Addictive Behaviour’s dynamic album series is their most ambitious project to date. An otherworldly journey showcasing an edgy and explosive array of raw talent from a collective of old and new artists from the Addictive camp. Embarking on this Rotation, and making their label debut is an impressive ensemble of well-known names as well as fresh up and coming, cutting edge producers. Nick Bee rains in the darker, techy vibes with his “Ghetto Politics”, as do Kyrist & Babarix in their obliterating “Maikuro Funk” collab. Meanwhile, Release, Tephra & Arkoze, Data 3 & Modu provide their own unique variations, beaming with moody subs and percussive vibes, encapsulating the Addictive Behaviour tone to great effect. Philth adds a fresh, melodic, vocal composition to the deep end of the mix in “The Big Question” whilst Dom & Roland’s Xanadu is commissioned for remixing duties delivering an explosive new take on Detail’s “Breakout”.

Talking of which, joining the new recruits on this expedition, long term label regulars Detail & L 33 step into the fray, flexing their elements of neuro-tech styles and adding momentum to this growing satellite of revolving music production. Also on board this charter, some recent Addictive additions. Mystic State’s “Eye Contact” and Nami’s “Downpour” push the audio transit on with their bass fuelled roller’s rocketing us in to unknown territory.

Finally, kicking in the afterburn, are the Rotation – Part One veterans. Artifact returns with another relentless aural display in “Materialist” whilst Fade brings a heavy metallic attack in “Hold Tight” Finishing off the universal carnage TR Tactics are joined by relative label newcomers The Clamps to bring us a full on neuro assault in “Conscious”.

Rotation –Part Two will be making it’s re-entry in to Earth’s atmosphere on September the 30th. The 14 track LP is an awe-inspiring amalgamation of complex layered productions showing us once again the label’s ability to evolve. An immersive and varied, frontier pushing display with one unifying theme echoing from its core once again. . . Good quality production.

After peering into the looking glass of the drum & bass world, Hospital Records has invited another exciting artist to join their roster!

Mitekiss already boasts an impressive collection of releases under his belt, spearheads his own imprint Goldfat Records and was given a real seal of approval in the form of his remix of London Elektricity’s anthem ‘Just One Second’.

Intentions ft. Jessie Bowden (produced by Echo B aka Colby Brown) starts off the EP with incredibly crisp, high energy drums and a deceptively catchy hook laying the foundation for some of Siege’s best writing yet. The title track gives us an insight into the trials and tribulations of a drum & bass MC.
