Actually can't get enough of this one mate! So good!

This July, Symmetry Selects’ compilation returns for its second instalment. The prequel was released in 2018 and showcased fresh music from, at the time, new and exciting upcoming producers such as DSP, Subtle Element, Rizzle and many more.

Continuing this forward, we have collated tracks sent in from the past two years, refined this list down to 12 favourites and ‘Symmetry Selects 2’ is the result.

The release aims to share great music, from artists that are not necessarily well known yet and the tracks were picked in a similar way to Break’s albums; carefully balancing a wide range of flavours. Tracks like ‘Fields of Green’ by Silloh and ‘Slow It Down’ by Reflektor ft. Leo Woods showcase deeper, more soulful aspects of the project, however the likes of S.Murk (‘Hat Spine’) and Boycot (‘Coppola’) bring a darker, more industrial edge.

Some works blend different elements together, like Dvice One’s jazz / neo soul inspired ‘Only You’ or Melysma’s reggae/dub influenced roller ‘Run Out’, whilst more established names also feature, such as Joakuim (with the infectious ‘Pirates’) and Jam Thieves (on tough stepper ‘Sinaloa’).

‘Symmetry Selects 2’ compiles some of the best submissions sent through to the label, with all artists making their debut appearance, in a project we are very proud of.

Release Date: 30th July

Jjoda and Truk are 2 up and coming DNB/140 producers coming out of Bristol. Their release on Paranormal Audio is set to be their first of many together. This 2 track single sums up the versatility of their talent, stretching from the more relaxed, finely tuned liquid Drum and bass to the deeper hard hitting minimal side of the spectrum.

Command Strange returns to V Recordings with a stellar 4 track EP, with a little help from his friends Alibi, Cnof, MC Fats & L-Side.

With three big colabs already under their belt (Skyline, Ahead of Me & Stardust) teaming up with Brazilian duo Alibi again was always on the cards, and they don’t disappoint taking the EP’s title track with techy roller ‘Welcome To The Future’. Cnof, another repeat collaborator joins the party for the liquid workout, ‘Blossom’, while Alexey goes solo on dancefloor banger ‘Krusty Fingers’. That leaves L-Side’s huge rework of MC Fats 2013 cut ‘Brand New Style’ to round off the EP.

Hailing from Kazakhstan, and now a seasoned producer signed to Bryan Gee's V Recordings imprint Alexey has been making waves in the Drum & Bass scene since 2010. Releases on Hospital and Med School, Fokuz, Metalheadz, Grid, and an album on DJ Marky's Innerground imprint have proven his versatility, with the Command Strange sound evolving to encompass harder, nastier styles alongside his pristine musicality.

This EP touches on all corners of that sound, taking the rough with the smooth and delivering a timeless selection of Drum & Bass flavours.

t’s with great pleasure that we can welcome the formidable talent that is Ed:it back to the CIA fold. His last release for the label came a fair few years back now, in which time this fine producer has been slowly but surely honing his craft. Always one with an ear for the subtleties within the music and an ability to produce a range of styles, while his output may have quietened down over the last year or two, his work-rate in the studio appears to have done quite the opposite. These latest four tracks that he has given CIA seem to have many of the elements and personality traits of his earlier work, but with a further refinement and quality to them. 
‘The Keep’ comprises of four cuts, ranging from deep late night rollers, jungle inspired dub work-outs and all the way round to beautifully melancholic musical pieces. This body of work truly contains something for everyone, and while it nods to several of the important heritage points within our music, it sounds contemporary and cutting edge - the perfect middle ground for a constantly growing and developing musician.

Minor Forms has created a steady reputation of late for blending deep atmospheric elements with a strong sense of musicality all backed up by a key knowledge of what works on the dancefloor. Strong recent releases on Sofa Sound & Flexout have led us to the pivotal point of CIA proudly releasing Minor Form’s debut LP ‘Room Two’. 

The title instantly puts the listener where Minor Forms wants them, throwing them back to his formative years spent in headsy Room 2s, soaking up the underground sounds of London in clubs and warehouses where his love for the atmospheric took hold. The album forms two halves, the first being an exploration of his sound as a solo producer, the second half sees him collab with close friends, formulating the experience of raving side by side in that smoked out second arena. This is an album that transports you to into that venue; dark, low ceilings, hoods up, caps down just vibing to the music. 

Kicking off with the rolling sounds of Original, perhaps the first tune you hear when you step in the club. You walk down the stairs into the basement and we are straight in, minimal, impactful, lets grab a drink and ride the wave. 

The title track Follows and engulfs you; ‘Room Two’ has huge driving subs that will pulse through any cavernous space, guaranteed to get a massive reaction while ‘Rushing Blind’ brings more of the same pounding, pulsating breaks that will make any main room or room 2 crew shock out until the lights come on. 

Any decent club needs a smoking area, or possibly the smoking area for Minor Forms means the back of the dance, back wall holding down the corner with your friends, this is the vibe you get from listening to ‘Tell You’; an unapologetic zoned out garage/breakbeat stepper showcasing Minor Forms versatility of a producer. 

Kathryn Brenna’s vocal shines on ‘Let go’, while CIA bosses Total Science, who themselves are no strangers to turning multiple room 2’s upside down over two decades of D&B contributions 
come with the pulsating ‘Close Call’, which also features Manchester’s rising star Kublai. This one thumps and wobbles in equal measure to devastating effect… Instant reload! 

In Room Two the selections get deeper on ‘Not Alone’ with Note; shoulder to shoulder atmospherics meeting driving expansive pads. The minimal stepper ‘Till close’ with Composite ends proceedings; the lights turn on, heads look up and the night is rounded off with a round of applause from the crowd. 

‘One More tune?’ Sorry security is not having it, but luckily you can rewind the album and go again. 

A real coming of age project for Minor Forms, an ode to his legacy whilst having one eye firmly on the future, we are excited to invite you all to Room Two, no egos, no VIP lanyards, just good music.
