Feb 2016 Drum and Bass

🔻Neurofunk🔻

Calm

drum and bass

Regardless of what people tell you everybody needs a little drum and bass in their life from time to time so for this weeks podcast we secured the services of our go to guy when we’re looking for our D&B equivalent of our five a day: Cyantific. 

Needing little introduction we’ve long been fans of Cyantific both as a producer and a DJ. Since the early noughties he’s been producing some of the finest D&B music around whilst touring the globe and rocking some of the world’s best parties. Not content with smashing it as both in the DJ booth and the studio he’s also turned his hand to running a label with his own imprint CYN Music going from strength to strength and finding its releases becoming staples in DJ crates of many the scenes coolest names.

So with his hotly anticipated remix of Mike Mago’s ‘Outlines’ having just arrived via Ministry of Sound and a series of arguably even more hype generating releases on the horizon we thought the time was right to see him take the reins on our podcast series. Happy Birthday to us!

DTP0421 - Cyantific - Datatransmission

This collection finds MTA signee Dimension paying homage to inspirations old and new, with Cyantific and Wilkinson from the CYN camp well represented on one hand, and MTA fam Moko and Chase and Status on the other. Elsewhere, Critical neuro badman Mefjus tears shit up and Dimension's own Deadmau5 bootleg gets a late rinse. By the end of it, why Dimension is so hotly tipped is no secret - He's got an energy that's as comfortable in a sweaty basement as it is upon a festival stage, and he brings the bassweight with class and melody as both a producer and DJ.

RECS - Afterlife

Our 19th birthday celebration was one for the history books. With a seriously impressive line-up across 4 rooms in London's iconic Heaven nightclub, each and every artist brought their A-game and had the place buzzing right up until sunrise. We recorded a few sets for your listening pleasure. Check out Frankee's huge set from the night, with the don MC GQ on hosting duties. BOH!

EATBRAIN gain another slick addition to the collective, with the latest release landing from relatively fresh Antwerp-based duo,
HYPOXIA (Titan Records // DnB Arena). Members Athys and Syntopia craft a brand of Tech and Neuro DnB with a bleak
aesthetic influenced by the more sinister areas of Psychology. The ‘ANOVA’ EP takes its name from the Analysis Of Variance
statistical method, with the change here being the sinister journey into an internal void during the inception of its components.

The opening track ‘SUSPICIOUS MINDS’, leads the EP with beguiling morose pads punctuated by chunky half-step percussion,
quickly giving way to the track’s stripped-down rolling drop. Laced with tight growling synths, it never loses its undertone of sinister
nostalgia - with a breakdown akin to a descent into frightened eyes, building back into the drop with a rapid widening of pupils.

Akov - Mantra ( Billain remix )

Following up on his 2015 Seeing Sounds LP for Dispatch Recordings, the Bristol-based DLR brings the heat once again with the absolutely stunning 14-track Dreamland album project. Conceptually organized around the desire to help listeners break free from the societal chains that bind them, DLR not only seeks to “challenge the barriers and comfort zones” on a musical level, but hopes to inspire people to “resist the inadequate reality we are sleepwalking into; an inherently greed based system, where numbers govern art and culture, whilst popularity determines the success of social causes, as issues are picked up and dropped in the blink of an eye.”
While the album doesn’t drop until next week be sure to check this exclusive premiere of DLR’s untouchable collab with Break, titled 'Wonder What It Feels Like.' From the crisp percussion-driven intro that paves the way for a shuffling groove and subtle tech-driven hook, this head-nodding, ass-shaking, crunchy cut is guaranteed to blow your socks off.

Chroma - Fathom (Coded Music)

Hurtling towards the release of their sophomore album ‘All Or Nothing’, Calyx & TeeBee display their versatility on this, their new single. Having proven their worth with a decade and a half of success, the duo take their unique sound and apply it to two haunting tracks that are sure to get fans of expertly crafted D&B excited for the forthcoming long player.

Leading the way is ‘Elevate This Sound’ a beautifully constructed piece of music that underpins a fully structured song complete with one of the finest vocals to ever grace a drum & bass record. Skipping beats are underpinned with layers of Rhodes organs, subtly effected emotions and a moving bassline which ensures this track will be as at home on dance floors worldwide as it is on your mp3 player.

Flip over and Calyx & TeeBee offer up a track that bears their signature hallmarks infused with a fresh feel. ‘Hurting’ is packed with the kinds of twists, turns and downright gut-wrenching basslines you’ve come to expect from this duo. Stepping drums and grinding bass notes are interspersed with haunting vocal snippets and plenty of the signature sound that will keep the drum & bass elite happy.

Calyx & TeeBee - Elevate This Sound

‘All Or Nothing’ is the long-awaited follow up to Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’ set to be released on one of the bass music scene’s longest running and most highly respected labels, Ram Records. The duo’s first single from their new album has already been supported by Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and many more of the world’s leading tastemakers, and ‘All Or Nothing’ looks set to catapult this incredible production partnership to all new heights. 

Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’, released in 2007 on their own label was an instant game changer; cited as a landmark album for the scene ‘Anatomy’ saw the duo unleash an almighty wall of sound that rocked dance floors across the globe as they took to the road with their 6 deck DJ sets, smashing apart sound systems in nightclubs and festival tents alike.  

Now, five years later, hordes of fans are aching for a new Calyx & TeeBee album and the duo are definitely not going to disappoint. Signing to Ram Records, Calyx & TeeBee have produced a long player that sounds fresh, current and forward-thinking. ‘All Or Nothing’ is their sophomore offering and is packed with new ideas, exciting collaborations, stunning musicality and an incredible level of technical skill. 

From the epic opening gambit, ‘Heroes & Villains’, it’s clear that Calyx & TeeBee have created something special with their new album. The D&B jazz fusion of ‘Pure Gold’ ft. Kemo contrasts beautifully with the vocal-led minimalism of ‘Strung Out’ and the hip hop excellence of ‘We Become One’, a collaboration with Foreign Beggars and DJ Craze. Then Calyx & TeeBee hit you with the rock-influenced ‘You’ll Never Take Me Alive’ featuring Beardyman, providing yet another inspired piece of deliciously different drum & bass. Each track on ‘All Or Nothing’ is crafted with expert precision and infused with a fresh and unique set of influences.

But while ‘All Or Nothing’ is packed with stand-out moments, it’s the album as a whole that becomes something far more exciting than the sum of its parts. Calyx & TeeBee stitch each moment together with over a decade’s worth of knowledge and an undeniable wisdom about how to create an exciting and unique sounding album. ‘All Or Nothing’ will draw you in and refuse to let go as moods and ideas flow freely, leaving you gasping for breath. This will undoubtedly be one of the albums of the year, if not the decade.
