Spanish imprint Parallel Depth continue to sparkle and startle in the most brilliant of ways, bringing through only the very best from their homebase in Sevilla, on both a national and international level. For their latest EP, which arrives tomorrow August 4th, they've recruited Belgian beatsmith Medok, who continues to impress after a run of strong, upbeat productions. We've got the pleasure of premiering the lead track from his Parallel Depth release, entitled 'Mind Games'. It's a real beauty, harnessing sharp, shuffling breakbeat diagnostics, a pitch-perfect, swooping vocal and a delightful, partnered sub and pads combo that really puts the icing on the cake. Huge from Medok. We've also been given a sneak peek at what's to come over the next few months from Parallel Depth and trust us, it is well worth waiting for. Ears to the ground.

Release Date → 04/08/20

Solsan - Tatou [Premiere]

Beats In Mind: Headsbass is a Drum n Bass collective releasing albums since the start of lockdown 2020. The motive donate every penny from sales and publishing to mental health charities as well as charities relating to the support of mental health for related illnesses, such as Young Minds, Papyrus, CALM, Stem 4 Teenage Mental Health and SUDC-UK.
 
Founder pyxis had the idea to raise funds through music since her own social anxiety has affected her for 20yrs, and utilising her connections in the scene has now enlisted the help of over 150 Drum n Bass artists in the last 2yrs in the form of their beautiful music, from veterans like Peshay and Furney up to the new breed such as Trex, Leniz and Kleu, with their trademark artwork created by Mitekiss.
 
With the support of DJ’s such as Riya, Sweetpea and Telomic, each volume has had a continuous bonus guest mix and a full video documentary on their YouTube channel where each contributing artist talks about mental health and how it affects them or people they have known and supported, with each volume supporting a different mental health issue such as suicide, lockdown blues, young person’s mental health and most recently turning attention to how physical illness can become mental illness when pyxis’ own dad survived a 12 day coma.
 
Lockdown highlighted a brand new breed of mental health victims, from isolation and loneliness to fear and uncertainty. But one thing that was certain was that unity through music was a very solid and effective method of being together whilst being apart. It proved that the unity in community was able to thrive despite the inability to physically connect. It also showed us that whilst the use of social media can lead to some damaging aspects of debate and disagreement, it was one of the only ways for people to stay together and support one another through the very simple means of sharing music, videos, photographs and memories.
 
pyxis and the gang thank everybody for their continued support and this also includes all the DJ’s playing the music, the premier upload channels on YouTube and Soundcloud and of course all the people donating their music for free and the people who are buying and streaming.
