Loomis & Ink Ft. Kaybee - ‘Resolution’ 

 Resolution (Original Version)
 Resolution (Heritage Mix)
 Resolution (Nova Mix)
 Resolution (Outro)

———————————


Dropping on the highly esteemed Architecture Recordings Imprint, legendary Drum & Bass producer Ink teams up again with cinematic artist Loomis along side soulful, powerful vocalist Kaybee to deliver the nostalgic ‘Resolution’.

Consisting of 4 mixes to inhabit the different corners of drum and bass, the original is a rolling soulful feast; with cinematic piano melodies and organic strings, infused with sweeping vocals, stabbed bass and growls to take you to the deepest melancholy, yet inspirited realms.

With a nod back to the early drum and bass days that have shaped the scene today, the Heritage mix infuses big emotive pads, multiple bass layers and stunning vocals, laid over driven breaks; delivering a punch and skirting from dark to light, with exactly the right balance of emotion and drive.

One for the DnB purists, the Nova Mix ticks the boxes for those that inhabit the darker corners of the dance floor; distorted, menacing amen rolls, moody pads, stabs and reversed piano moments, all underpinned by a dangerously dark bass and punchy subs. 

To finish off the release, we’re treated with a beautiful, beat-less cinematic outro which highlights the more melodic ingredients; with lush layered strings and emphasised bass crescendos, the Outro is the cherry on the cake of this quintessential drum and bass release.

The release drops this Friday night (17th Feb 2023) @7pm (GMT) with an exclusive band camp digital release along side ultra limited 10” hand cut dub plates - containing the Original and Heritage Mix. Check out Architecture Recordings Bandcamp page for more info.

Across usual other audio outlets within the next few weeks.

Santorin starts its 25th anniversary celebrations with a return of the label’s first ever LP from 2001. The Ambassadors compilation that started it all has been remastered and rereleased.

"Ambassadors 1 - The Santorin Drum & Bass Anthology" gives an early taste of everything Santorin has become renowned for: musically minded, emotionally resonant tracks from some of the most original and distinctive talents in drum & bass.

ihsetiK - Oops (Soul Intent Remix)

Inception:Λudio - Planet Dust Ep Itti and Heatwave 

A disconcerting mixture is produced when half step breakbeat influences blend together. Itti and Heatwave's song "Things to Remind" combines distortion with unrelentingly intense 
beats to create a song you will listen to over and over. This track is perfect for fans of futuristic music.

Itti and Heatwave - Dusk
A menacing introduction is followed by a snarling bassline and minimalistic drums. You're drawn in by the unusual sounds and textures, and the constant drum beat keeps you interested all the way through. A melody that grasps hold and won't let go.

Itti and Heatwave - Tell you a story
This is a deep track that plays with the slow/fast dynamics of halftime drum rhythms and incorporates other components. This one's energy is maintained by its groaning, gritty bass and eerie FX hits. It creates a moving musical experience.

Itti and Heatwave - Things to remind
Like anything truly fulfilling, Things to Remind is gratifying. Over the course of the song, there are patient build-ups and pull-backs, and they feel fantastic. Though they are occasionally inconspicuous, this dark, smouldering work's movement and flow are nonetheless present.

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.
