Following up the absolutely huge ‘Levels’ featuring MC Stapleton, Crystal Clear again slides effortlessly between his roles as producer and label boss at Cold Blooded.

This time he brings through fresh talent in the form of A.M.C, who moves the label into more uncharted territory as he lands with this deep and funky release.

Alex Mark Calvert aka A.M.C has been making a real name for himself behind the decks for the past few years. His residency on DNBTV, where he performs with boundless energy mixing old with new in an unmistakeable style, has found him fans around the world.

During this time he has also been perfecting his skills in the studio and if this debut on Cold Blooded is anything to go by – this is a name we’ll be hearing a lot more from.

Up next on Cold Blooded steps exciting, and award winning new talent from France in the form of Bluescreens. If this release is a benchmark for things to come then they will very soon be joining their fellow countrymen Dirtyphonics as major players in the worldwide D&B scene.

Made up of 2010 DMC World Champion Ligone and his production partner Stoneway this is a duo with some serious credentials whose unique dancefloor smashers mirror their explosive live DJ performances.

‘Bad Reasoning’ and ‘For Real’ are two funk filled, futuristic slices of D&B combining tight punchy beats with filthy twisted bass, which again push the boundaries of the Cold Blooded sound, and highlight the quality and diversity of the releases coming from the camp in 2011.

DJ Support from the likes of Hype, Pendulum, Basher, Prolix, AMC, Murdock & Crissy Criss to name a few. 

Bluescreens - Bad Reasoning (Cold Blooded Recordings)

Quite frankly we're not messing around with this one!

Mattix and Futile have come with goods yet again in the shape of  'Corkscrew' and 'Where We Are'.

'Corkscrew' has been much in demand ever since a prototype mix was debuted on the Drum & Bass Arena podcast.

Now polished up and smacking hard like a strict mistress, this has been hammered by the dnb scene's finest.

Such is its appeal that it's already received over 150,000 views on YouTube and featured as part of the massive DNB Arena Evolution compilation.

'Where We Are' on the flip sees the Brighton boys at their anthemic best with futuristic drums and bass that'll keep your speakers popping. 

Mattix & Futile - Where We Are (Cold Blooded Recordings)

You'll know 'Hate the Game' from being the intro tune to sets by 1xtra's Crissy Criss and Crystal Clear himself. 

The half time intro instantly draws you in with an infectious synth lead before the vocal talents of Stapleton, an MC who's already been making some big waves in 2011, help build up to the drop.

From the drop there is no turning back as this track has anthem vibes running right through it...to be ignored at your peril!

On the flipside Crystal Clear teams up with Zen for a re-working of their 2010 smash 'Gang Related'.

Keeping all of the vibe which saw the original climb to number 1 in the 1Xtra DnB Chart, this VIP remix, originally intended as a special dubplate, has been getting such a big response, that a release was essential.

Support from the likes of Pendulum (in their JJJ radio mix!), Crissy Criss, Brockie, Hype and Tantrum Desire.

Crystal Clear & Zen - Gang Related VIP (Cold Blooded Recordings)

Relative newcomer to the scene Harvest has been turning some heads in Drum & Bass circles with his fresh take on Jump Up D&B. For some, this style over the past few years has lacked originality and that all important dose of funk, but we’re pleased to say that these are qualities that Harvest has in abundance, and his debut single on Cold Blooded Recordings has been lighting dancefloors all over the globe for the past few months.

On ‘Outsiders’ he keeps things minimal and funky with a track that combines old school Full Cycle vibes with crisp modern production. Infectious bassline stabs and steppy beats are the order of the day here on this solid debut from Harvest.

‘Prophecy’ is a dark and broody roller – jump up style. With clear influences from the early works of Mampi Swift, Harvest does some serious damage to the bass bins with rumbling sub bass and snappy crunched beats pushing things forward.

Please only send tracks as 320 mp3's, wavs or aiffs as we like to be able to hear what a track is supposed to sound like and not an awful crunchy version. 

Please also only send tracks that we can download and then listen to in the studio as streaming on laptop speakers just makes everything sound tinny! Thanks.
