The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.

With a musical career spanning almost 20 years, originally as a studio engineer from 1993 and then under a number of aliases, the masterful drum & bass craftsman SURVIVAL has expertly shaped his personal sound. Building up a formidable back catalogue, with regular releases on Dispatch, Symmetry, Critical, Exit, Shogun, DNAudio & Quarantine, Survival has also generated a spate of brilliant solo and collaborative releases with Silent Witness, Alix Perez & Octane & DLR for his own label, Audio Tactics. 
Alongside further work with dBridge, Fierce, Sabre & Ant TC1, and Break both his solo work and collaborations have become increasingly sought after, whilst productions with Silent Witness have continued to mature, forming a remarkably diverse joint sound; it’s a partnership of the highest calibre.  Dispatch Recordings are set to release an album from the duo, in early 2013 ‘In From The Wild’ that showcases the pair’s exceptional talents, working alongside artists such as Klute, Cern, Sara Mitra & Submotion Orchestra lead, singer Ruby Wood. 
When combining the new album with an exceptional release history dating back to the mid 90's and an exciting new venture into deeper bass music under the alias of both South Soul Project, and Basenji you can understand why Survival is so highly regarded within the scene; a true architect of the genre.

Long hours in the studio have lead to releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Shogun, Exit, Critical, Soul:R, Quarantine, Subtitles and a host of others; cementing Break’s reputation as one of drum & bass’ hottest talents. His trusted skills have been reigned in to remix seminal drum & bass classics including Shy FX’s ‘Bambaata’, Die’s ‘Clear Skyz’, Commix’s ‘Talk to Frank’ and Ram Trilogy’s ‘Gridlock’ as well as Bloc Party’s UK top-5 hit ‘The Prayer’.

Equally praised for his DJ skills, Break maintains a consistent touring schedule that sees him playing across the globe on a weekly basis on the stages of the world’s biggest drum & bass institutions; from Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam, Warning, Metalheadz and Hospitality in the UK to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the breadth of Europe, playing headline shows or back2back sets with the likes of Die, Goldie and Dillinja.

Launching his own label, Symmetry Recordings in 2006, Break honed and polished his sound with each single and released his fist album, also entitled ‘Symmetry’ in 2008. Featuring forays into ambient, dubstep, funk, hip hop, house and soul amongst an arsenal of sure-fire drum & bass, ‘Symmetry’ earned Break an army of new fans from outside the d&b world with tracks picked up by the likes of techno legends Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink. 

Two years later Break has risen the bar further still via his second LP; ‘Resistance’. Featuring collaborations with No U-Turn mastermind Nico, Bristol’s DJ Die, super-duo Calyx & Teebee, DNAudio cohorts Silent Witness and Survival, Shogun Audio’s SpectraSoul and vocalists Kyo and SP:MC, the album offers a glorious journey through the spectrum of Break’s styles and influences and a clear indication of where his talents will lead him next. 

The next chapter for Break is signing new exciting artists to coincide with his own output on the label. Keep a keen eye on Symmetry as this is the label for the real sounds of Drum & Bass, absolutely no compromise.

Commercial Suicide is the drum and bass and once in awhile techno label run by London based producer and Disc Jockey Klute aka Tom Withers.
Started in 2001 Commercial Suicide has released over 50 records whilst running his business out of a dustbin.

Submorphics (Greg Axelrad) has made his name with soul-drenched, deep, emotive, nostalgic-yet-forward-thinking music. His productions display a fine-tuned signature sound with a distinct tone and melodic sensibility that has earned him admiration from fans, DJs and music lovers alike.

Releases like ‘Long Been Gone’ and ‘Higher Ground’ (Ft. T.R.A.C.) cemented him as one of the top soulful D&B artists in the 2010s, leading him to start releasing longer projects focusing on deeper emotional musical journeys with an emphasis on sonic detail. Tracks on Shogun Audio, Hospital, V Recordings, Metalheadz and Integral saw Submorphics demonstrating a unique take on soulful D&B, connecting the dots between his eclectic influences from Detroit and Chicago with UK Drum & Bass. 

Signing to The North Quarter in 2018, Submorphics released 5 larger projects on the coveted Dutch label to widespread acclaim. Joining the dots between soulful hip hop + D&B in his own trademark voice, the Detroit Haze EP and Kodak Dreams LP put a stamp on his longtime sound and vision with stunning effect - garnering love from both the D&B scene and larger beats scenes. 

Following this, 2021’s Newport Magnetic EP demonstrated a refined sound palette while still retaining his trademark deep melodics. Then in 2022 the Verona Highway EP showcased an even wider screen electronic vision and emotional range, honing in on a moodier Detroit-themed synthetic D&B sound. And in 2023 the script was completely flipped with the psychedelic guitars and hazy organic beauty of the Moonbeam Drive EP.

Later that year his darker Detroit influences returned with the popular Galattico EP on legendary 31 Records. 

And then with little warning Submorphics launched Rosebay Music - an imprint that has proved to be 1 of the standout labels in the soulful D&B realm. With a carefully A&R’ed release schedule, Rosebay tunes have received widespread support from across the board of the D&B scene. 

All this has lead to an active DJ schedule and Submorphics has travelled the globe playing his favourite soulful bangers and the best in modern D&B, engaging with fans young and old with his passionate take on the genre.

Welcome to the official Horizons music soundcloud page. Hope you like what you hear, and thanks for your support!

Nu Directions was conceived in the summer of 1999 by Neil Hutchinson,
aka Tricksta, as a continuation of his previous label project Urban
Flavour, Nu Directions was formed as an outlet to release quality
musical and forward thinking drum & bass.


 Urban Flavour was a midlands based drum &amp; bass label set
up in 1996 that profited from the boom time of the atmospheric drum
&amp; bass scene, when labels like Moving Shadow, Good Looking and
Metalheadz were laying the blueprint. Urban Flavour blooded artists
such as Pariah, Future Engineers and Justice and received pressure from
the top players of the time. At legendary night Speed, Urban Flavour
cuts were found regularly in the sets of LTJ Bukem, Fabio and DJ Lee
and it was on these foundations that Nu Directions was created with the
aim of discovering exciting new music and cutting edge global
producers.


 The first few releases on Nu Directions continued on an
atmospheric theme kicking off with tracks from local midlands boys
Pariah, atmospheric stalwarts Future Engineers and exciting new
producer ASC. As the drum &amp; bass sound matured into the millennium
the label followed suit with an array of twelves from new and
established artists culminating in the labels first compilation
following the tenth release. 

 Mixed Emotions CD and 3x vinyl was released in autumn 2001
and featured the cream of the labels back catalogue and some of the
labels exciting new signings, as well as the resurgence of Urban
Flavours classic 1997 killer Demon Seed by Exocet. Following a host of
quality 12s from the likes of Q Project, Seba and new boys on the block
The Insiders, Nu Directions introduced their second label compilation
Re:Mixed emotions. This was a project that included a selection of the
exclusive tracks from the Mixed EmotionsLP remixed by some of the
scenes biggest and most established producers. J Majik, Total Science,
Blame and Aquasky all contributed remixes to create a solid CD and
triple vinyl project.


 Following the Re:Mixed Emotions project the label found itself
with a new identity and popularity, this was built on with the
collection of an excellent selection of 12s from Blue Sonix, Danny C
and Beta 2 to name a few taking on an altogether more dance floor yet
still musical theme, sticking to its original roots blooding new
artists alongside some of the scenes better known and well respected
names.

In May 2004 Nu Directions released their first solo artist LP in the
form of Environments by long-standing label servant ASC. A producer who
debuted through Nu Directions back in 2000 finally delivered a
groundbreaking LP for the concerning junglist and home listener alike.

Today Nu Directions has just entered its 12th year and is
approaching its 51st release. It has clocked up a fine
reputation for releasing quality forward-thinking drum & bass.

Nu Directions also boasts a successful monthly club sessions
Nu:Motion. Held in the heart of the UKs drum &amp; bass scene, east
London, Nu:Motion at 1001 Cafe is the perfect reflection of the ethos
and style of this small but long standing independent drum &amp; bass
label.
