Liquid Drum & Bass Albums - 5

The monthly "Clen's List" playlists comes from the great music that comes across on Soundcloud each month. Of course this wouldn't be possible without the work of all the producers, reposters, promoters, and suggestions from others, so thanks and big up to everyone out there sharing and producing these sounds.

Another goal of these lists is to promote the artists producing the tunes. There are some really incredible less known productions that float around and just don't wind up in the "spotlight". By including these productions in the lists, hopefully these great works get their time in the spotlight.

Look out for a new list around the end of each month.

Whoever is listening, thanks and enjoy!
~Clen

P.S. Overtime the lists lose tracks that were originally included. I do not know if this is due to artists removing their tracks from Soundcloud (or the tracks get bought by a record company and then removed), or if there is another reason. I will try to keep these lists as up to date and as close to how they were originally as best as possible. As of February 2014 the original list will be in the bottom of the description.

Clen's List November 2016

As Blu Saphir matured, Digital Blus was formed three years later in 2008 with the mission in mind to release the highest quality drum 'n bass in digital format. The focus was shifted to cater to upcoming producers putting out quality releases that have yet to see a vinyl release. The digital label was widely accepted and praised by the likes of Chrissy Chris (1XTRA), DJ Marky, Fabio, Ash Attack, Random Movement, Specific, Submorphics and many more. From this day on, all Blu Saphir tunes would be available through Beatport, iTunes, Juno, Finetunes, Trackitdown and many more.

Satl & Velocity - Set It Out

Something new with my friends Payback & A.K.A

Conspire, Payback & A.K.A - Love Is A Drug

Digital Blus has always been at the forefront of the smoother styles of drum 'n bass – liquid, deep, rolling tunes that know exactly how to hit the bass bin and get the floor moving. Kind of Blu Part II is no different. Comprised of 18 tracks (nearly two hours of play!) balanced nicely between friends that have already had releases on Digital Blus; and those who are just stepping on board, there is more than enough content to sway too regardless of your preferred style.

DIGIBLUS040 – VARIOUS ARTISTS - KIND OF BLU LP PART II

RELEASE DATE: 02.12.2016

SUPPORT BY BRYAN G, DJ MARKY, RANDOM MOVEMENT, INTELLIGENT MANNERS, JOHN B, SILVER, JAYBEE, PHYSICS, UNREAL, DAVE OWEN, SCHEMATIC, SKORE, STUNNA, ETHERWOOD, DANNY WHEELER AND MANY MORE...

Emphasis & Unvariable – "I Need You" is a minimal, chilled out stepper. 

Soundcycles – "Makes A Change" is a feel-good piano stepper with inspiring lyrics Great for an opener. 

Carter hosts a duo of releases on the album, "Life is a Spiritual Thing" has a raggae-bass vibe infused, while With You (featuring Salem) takes it down into classic piano-laced liquid styles.

Underdog comes through with beautiful atmospheric breakbeat programming on "In the Wine".

Rizla, Krot and La Meduza bring that soulful, downtempo vibe while LaMeduza's vocals hit the speakers. Think of Uncut's legendary anthem from 2001 – Midnight. This one has THAT sort of impact. 

Yes yes! Following up, Label owner Jay Rome comes through with a collaboration with longtime label mates Paul SG and DJ Chap on "Waya" – classic liquid as expected.  

Euphorics "Syncopa" is a mysterious one – an early jazz style ting rocks out the intro while the ladies sampled bring an explosion of energy. 

Decon brings the remix treatment to Underdog's "Your Smile", rolled out in a deep and thoughtful way. Smooth with bass that moves, the remix is superb.

New recruit Rafau Etamski entices the crowd to "Follow Me" through deep, soul-moving drum 'n bass. Deep sub-bass will have floor movers blissed out here. 

Nummix's "Sea Fever" would be a great closer to any night with its uplifting jazz-funk vibes. 

Cnof does a great job in combining that 70s disco feel with an uplifting beat on "One I Love" before Ivoree & Natural Flavor drive the vibes deep into the underground with "Find A Way". 

Capsika's "Gopnik Funk" begins with a half time feel, before catapulting into a smorgasboard of sounds and textures.

Jay Rome rolls through solo on "Backyard Boogie", a super funky, and instrument-laden track. 

Pure ecstasy – bound to be a dancefloor anthem in the future. MsdoS & Funkware give us an Introduction to Brass in this catchy number. 

As we come to a close, Mode Function dives into the "Soul Heart" with classic jazz and bass. Seductive keys and slow-moving trumpets move out alongside the vocal before the drums attack, and send the floor into the dance. 

Last up is Twintone's I Try Bossa. Going all the way back to the first release, longtime producer Twintone, gives the classic a revamp – a perfect way to chill out after 17 other tracks of greatness.

Blu Saphir Music Group - For Demos: blusaphir.recordings@gmail.com

Blu Saphir Recordings was created in 2005 on the grounds of improving and expanding the variety of sounds that liquid funk has to offer. Jay Rome got in contact with Muffler, Kaleb and Contour back in 2003. He loved their music and decided to work with them on a new label to release proper music,” the label owner comments. “Twintone and I had completed a tune entitled “I Try” which had such good feedback that Muffler decided to do a remix. We had these tunes ready for the label, so we started Blu Saphir Recordings to release it.”

The label has gone on throughout to release two more singles, featuring the aforementioned Muffler remix of “I Try” and Bungle remix of “Synapse” on the latest release, number 003. Number four is on the rise with Aspect’s “Soul Lady” and Electrosoul System’s “Fun” and 005 is out now with Jebar & D.K. Foyer’s “Rhytual” and a remix by Soundtrax mastermind, Big Bud on the flip. The following 006 will be another masterpiece by the likes of Chino and Submorphics with the tunes "Jade Sunrise" and "Revisions".

There’s a lot in store for the future of the label. Featuring upcoming releases by Derrick & Tonika, Bassface Sascha,Ill Esha, The Ego and label owner Jay Rome himself, Blu Saphir will continue to push on a new sound of liquid funk to the masses. 

DIGITAL BLUS

Following three years of mighty Blu Saphir tunes, we have decided to launch a sister label dedicated to releasing the highest quality drum & bass mp3s. The main focus of the new imprint is to cater to upcoming producers who are putting out quality tracks but haven’t secured a vinyl release yet. The label will have a similar sound to the Blu Saphir parent label, housing many of the styles you’ve already become familiar with, including liquid, atmospheric and deeper minimal drum & bass.

The first release features Birmingham newcomer Fluxem with a superb duo of liquid tracks, “Justify” and “Everything”. His tracks have been played by many of the heavy hitters of the melodic side of drum ‘n bass including Chrissy Chris (1xtra), Ash Attack, Dan Marshal, Specific, Submorphics and many more. Digital Blus will be available through Beatport, Itunes, Finetunes and Trackitdown.

BLU SAPHIR LIMITED

As evolution would have it, the force behind the Blu Saphir camp wasn't done – 2013 dawned a new era of techy, deep, dark and rolling drum 'n bass in the amalgamation of Blu Saphir LTD. Introducing a pair of thunderous rollers by Japan's Hayato, the imprint has gone on to release bangers by Monologue, DJ Chap, Roy Green & Protone,NME Click and many more. Up & coming releases by Inkognitiv and our exclusive label artist Sequences.

SYNC:SAPHIR

After numerous successful releases on both labels, label owners, Jay Rome of Blu Saphir and Syncopix of (you guessed it!) Syncopix Recordings have combined forced to create a new collaboration, Sync:Saphir.

“The goal behind Sync:Saphir is to push out some fresh minimal, deep and liquid drum and bass music by both talent new artists and well known producers,” Jay Rome of Blu Saphir goes on - “At first , I had the idea to release an EP with Syncopix, but then we decided to make a bigger wave with an LP and two sampler vinyls. The LP will be a double CD album. One will contain a back-to-back mix between Syncopix and myself alongside MC Shnek, (who is also a well known producer, releasing several tracks with Concept on C.I.A. and Soundtrax Recs). On the other CD we will present 13 tracks by both well known and fresh newcomer producers.”

Artists planned to appear include Electrosoul System, Muffler, Mr. Sizef, Enei, Syncopix, Henree, Joe Syntax, Paul B, Edward Oberon, Bionic1 and a few others. Both samplers are available now, while the double CD has a planned January 2010 launch date, followed by the digital release in February (which will contain a few bonus tracks).
