Place 2b - Future Is Now

Psycho

Welcome to Shadow League. 
Combining Dutch drum’n’bass behemoths Black Sun Empire with UK global rap & bass pioneers Virus Syndicate to create a supergroup so much more than the sum of its parts. 
Shadow League is its own gargantuan beast, a dark sinister force that is at once irresistible, irrepressible and irreversible. 

Set to release on Blackout Music the project’s fearsome debut album ‘Cheat Code’ is a multi-genre masterpiece, straddling all corners of bass music with a through line of savage synths, pounding percussion and vicious vocal delivery. 

Set to kick into gear in the middle of 2025, with full release in September - Shadow League isn’t just a vehicle for global veneration, but worldwide audio domination - with live performances set to destroy everything in their path. 

This project is not simply a statement of intent; it is a commandeering of the senses. 

This is Shadow League.

Stonxcast EP:148- Hosted By Ollie

Artist: Cause4Concern
Release: Phatcap (TRCD Remix)
Label: C4C Recordings
Cat#: C4CDIGUK088
Support:

Originally dropping back in 1999 on C4C Recordings, “Phatcap” has long been a staple of the neuro-heavy DnB scene. Now, TRCD injects the timeless drum loops and iconic bassline with a modern twist, honoring the original's spirit while giving it a fresh energy.

TRCD begins by resurrecting the rolling, punchy kick/snare combo that defined the original. From there, he refines the groove with crisp, meticulously layered hi-hats and sub-divided ghost snares. The result is a relentless, dancefloor-ready rhythm that jolts the track into 2025 territory.

That unmistakable sub-bass from the original remains intact—but TRCD enhances it with more punch and depth. Subsonic rumble underpins the rework, and occasional mid-range growls slide in, adding weight to the restructuring’s low-end.

The ghost ship emerged from the fog bank with an unnerving silence, gliding atop the waves despite its tattered mainsails lying slackened and unfilled by the utter lack of wind. Atop its deck shimmered brief silhouettes enshrouded in mist, marked only momentarily by the silvery light of the moon. The vessel’s movement was slow and looked as though it had been scuttled, yet it cut through the waters with a purposeful heading rather than an aimless drift. Somewhere, something unseen guided the craft, captained by a mind with no body, a ship sailing under the flag of no nation.

Though dilapidated and beset by barnacles on all sides with its hull pockmarked by cannonfire, the ship sailed onwards, led by the ornamented and iron wrought ram that marked its prow. Rusted and worn down in the course of countless engagements, the great ram still cleaved through the seas with ease, the evidence of its many conquests now etched into its very form. It was this singular feature that had given the ship its name, a moniker whispered by living sailors in hushed tones for fear of invoking the ghost ship's terrible ire. The HULLBREAKER sailed for but one remaining purpose - to drag other ships beneath the waves to where the bodies of its original crew still lay.

AL/SO makes his EATBRAIN debut with HULLBREAKER, a four-track EP that further features Transforma & Tengu and sees the Dutch artist sail to the fore of the EATBRAIN horde to captain the latest release under the label’s unmistakable banner.

Centuries had passed since the initial arrival of the extraterrestrial sonic emitter on the planet’s surface, and the culture of the beings who inhabited that world had evolved much since the initial encounter. They now composed great musical works of their own, and over time, the alien device had come to lie forgotten, buried beneath the dense jungle floor and still festooned by the decorative textiles that its original inheritors had attached to celebrate its wondrous powers. Here it lay for ages until, in searching for the origins of their ancestors, a group of explorers discovered the idol of the bass cult once more.

The discovery was at first one of bemusement - an obvious hoax played by a rival expedition, perhaps. For so fine a speaker to be discovered so far from modern civilization was an absurd concept. Yet there was something about the craftsmanship, an intricate, spiraling pattern etched into its enclosure that was mirrored in the artworks of the ancient peoples of these lands. Their ancestors could not have crafted such a device, so where then could it have come from? As the leader of the expedition lifted it from the soil, the device rang out with a sonorous & soothing hum, enrapturing all those who stood gathered before their new discovery as it rattled their bodies with low-frequency sound. Thus it was that THE CULT OF BASS was born anew, and the alien artifact’s powers were resurgent once again

MNDSCP delivers the second sampler to his upcoming LP THE CULT OF BASS, transmitting his hypnotizing low frequency sonics to his fervent followers amongst the EATBRAIN horde in anticipation of the full force of the album soon to come.

MNDSCP - Werewolf

With every release, INAO pushes the boundaries of cyberneurofunk — not just sonically, but emotionally. “Sirius” is a powerful statement from an artist who isn’t afraid to reveal the deeper frequencies of his inner world.

On this track, he takes a step away from the aggressive precision he’s known for and invites us into a darker, more reflective soundscape. With evolving textures, eerie atmospheres, and a haunting sense of space, “Sirius” feels like floating through memory—beautiful, distant, and charged with unresolved energy.

But beyond the sound, INAO represents everything we stand for at Genome Records:
🖤 Raw energy. Pure passion. Loyalty. Vision. Creativity.
He's not just an artist on the roster ... he's family. Someone who’s grown with us, challenged us, and continues to inspire what’s next.

“Sirius” is a free gift to the community , a thank you, and a reminder that sometimes, even in the hardest genres, there’s room for subtlety, emotion, and real connection.

Trying some drums at 145 bpm :)

Samples taken directly from mp3, so the sound can be very distorted'n'compressed. But who cares, when your head is shaking? :)

Hyper’s 7th studio album is incoming and has all of the depth and diversity you might expect from an Electronic music producer who’s never been afraid to swim against the tide. Having initially shot to prominence when the Breakbeat scene was at the cutting edge, Hatfield has performed at the biggest clubs and festivals the world over (Glastonbury, Fuji Rock, Roskilde, Sziget and Exit to name just a few) as either a DJ or as part of his live act.

Having taken a short break to concentrate on other projects, Hatfield threw his hat back into the ring late last year when called upon by Sony’s Bullet Height to remix their ‘Hold Together’ single. This industrial electronic juggernaut was received very well critically and led to radio support from XFM and saw him upping the tempo for the subsequent remix of Losers’ ‘This Is A War’. Although this remix was crafted for the dancefloor with old school breaks and a heavy rave dynamic, the epic vocal, piano and strings saw the radio love spread even further.

Cut to now and the playfully titled ‘The Adventures Of The Android Kid’ is about to add a huge splash of colour to the Hyper catalogue. Club bangers happily nestle alongside Grunge Techno (fans of ‘Spoiler’ and ‘Clockwork’ will not be dissapointed) and edgy pop for the discerning ear; whilst Hypers trademark punchy, edit heavy sound can still be found in tracks such as ‘Power Of One’ and ‘Its A Trap’. Strings also become an integral part of the sound for the first time since ‘Symphony..’ and show once again why pigeonholing this artist is something you do at your own peril.

As usual the album takes in a few collaborations along the way. Hyper teams up with Davip (Noisia’s Vision label) for album opener ‘Android Kid’, an explosive, genre jumping, monster of a track brimming with punk attitude which is already being lauded by Ram Records’ Hamilton and The Glitch Mob.
. Also, following on from the success of the Bullet Height remix and a mutual respect for one anothers work the two artists joined forces for ‘We Are The Revolution’. A quiet/loud affair of epic proportions (inspired in part by Hatfields time spent in Seattle over the past year), ‘WATR’ bridges the rock/Electronica gap effortlessly and blurs boundaries with haunting piano melodies, ethereal vocals and distopian overtones.

The album also features the by-now-obligatory killer club collaboration with Ayra label bosses Beatman & Ludmilla in the form of ‘Hold The Line’, a featured vocal on Hypers poppiest track to date ('Games’) from I am X’s Sammi Doll and the soon-to-be-famous Robert Shields weighs in for good measure on ‘Playing With Fire'. ‘Adventures..’ even boasts a beautiful yet dark acoustic guitar based ballad ‘Bleed' (which was actually recorded in Hatfields spare room). Strings, sound design and respectful splashes of analogue synths have been added to this spectacle co written with long time Hyper collaborator Neil Ormandy (co-writer of the massive James Arthur UK No.1 hit single, ’Say You Won’t Let Go’..).

Broken up into 2 parts both to arrive in 2017, Hypers most accomplished album to date will be turning a few heads, thats for sure…
