Deep #2

Flying on a high from a successful year in 2013, North London based duo Tephra & Arkoze are back yet again to set the standard in 2014 with their deadly Concrete Rose EP. 

Expect all the twists and turns in today’s modern Drum and Bass sound with originality through out on tracks such as Clockwork and In Hell. Also on the EP, we have a collaboration with Marvelous Southstar on Concrete Rose and a naughty VIP of No Escape which caused quite a bit of damage last time round.  

We have no doubt that the same results will be expected this time as well!

#UNDERGROUNDSONICS

Kicking off 2014 in the most spectacular fashion, Critical Music enters its 12th year with its biggest artist compilation to date. Painstakingly put together by label boss Kasra over the past year, ‘Underground Sonics’ is an exciting overview of modern day drum & bass, showcasing the true dexterity of one of the most well regarded, independent electronic music labels in the UK today. 
Kasra has pulled out all the stops, sifting through his phone book to enlist the talents of some of the biggest and most exciting producers in the game. Noisia, Dub Phizix, Enei, Phace, Sam Binga and Kasra himself all make sterling contributions that make for an album of the best of Underground Sonic expression.
It’s been a few years since our last fully fledged label compilation so I wanted to ensure this one was as vital as possible. For me this album truly encapsulates the essence of Critical, a balanced mix of all that’s exciting about this music - heads down lights out rollers, experimental side steps and some slightly more aggressive attention grabbers. This album is made up of tracks by the core Critical acts alongside a select group of label friends and for me is a snapshot of where the label is at now and where it is heading." Kasra

BLUS016 – ROY GREEN & PROTONE & BOKA BOKA

From the same grounds that house the rising Blu Saphir empire, Austrians Roy Green & Protone unleash a deep, techy and rolling duo of numbers – Tuesday Midnight Blues and Illusion. Originally formed in 2010 after a brief meeting at Austria’s Flex Club, the pair has accumulated signings with Fokuz Recordings, Citrus Recordings, Think Deep Recordings, and Textures Music Group. Future releases include collaborations on Fokuz, Citrus, Celsius, Soundtrax, Innerground, and many more. 

Be sure to give their Knowledge Mag guest mix a listen - http://www.beatsfortheplanet.com/2012/01/27/roy-green-protone-knowledge-magazine-guest-mix-26th-january-2012/

A: TUESDAY MIDNIGHT BLUES
B: ILLUSION

RELEASE DATE:  MARCH 2012

A. ILLUSION:

Rolling in with a variation of the infamous Shadowboxing break, multi-layered vocals ignite the flow of piano keys while esoteric soundscapes light up the horizon. A mighty crescendo drops Illusion into a pool of modulated, moving bass. As the break comes to pass, each instrument of the track reunites for a second time. Fans of Esoteric, Vampire UK, Darkestral, Influenza Media, Shogun, Exit, and Horizon should definitely give these two a go! 


B. TUESDAY MIDNIGHT BLUES:

Swooned in by lightly modulated atmospheres, the journey begins as pads echo upon a pulsating, melodic ocean. An eerie underlay leads in the brief female vocal, while warmth engulfs the magical number. Squelched bass rushes in past the one- minute mark, while the vocal becomes looped and more drawn out. 

Like the winter season, this piece of art is an endlessly evolving series of layers. Right when you believe Tuesday Midnight Blues is at its finest, another instrument gets thrown in. Absolutely brilliant start for Blu Saphir, Roy Green and Protone!


SUPPORT BY: Bailey, Enei, Marky, Big Bud, Stunna, MsDos, LJHigh, Cohere, Atmospherix, Jay Rome, Andi Sim, and M-Zine.

ROY GREEN & PROTONE & BOKA BOKA - TUESDAY MIDNIGHT BLUES (BLUS016 - OUT NOW!!!)

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).
