Check the comments to see what Marc Houle and Click Box had to say about the production process of the Razzamatazz EP!

Items & Things return with a five track EP from label heavyweights Marc Houle and Click Box, to be released on both physical and digital formats on September 20th. Recorded this Spring in Sao Paulo, who better to describe the release than the trio themselves:

Marc Houle: “Besides being really great guys, Click Box are also really good musicians - not just as techno producers, but producers of other styles of music as well: they've made music for television, radio and also produced a few bands. So I knew that when I had some free time in Sao Paulo this spring, we were going to be able to record a whole EP because they work almost as quickly as I do. Our approach was to do everything quickly while having fun and not spending time on small details or the arrangement until after the session. We wanted each track to be slightly different but have the same overall feeling. I spent most of the time in front of their Juno-60 and Marco was on some modular thing and a Moog. Pedro was engineering and doing the drum parts. We were having so much fun yelling ideas at each other and recording pretty much non-stop. The great thing about the project was the balance of us having a super fun time with how seriously we take music.”

Click Box: “We had spent a great week with Marc and decided to work on an EP together. Earlier that day, we hung out, did some laundry, drove through the city looking for tacos and also for the exposed electrical wires in the streets of São Paulo before going in the studio. It was really fun, due mainly in part to the fact that we didn't set any guidelines for ourselves. We just made music for pleasure with no pressure. With the tracks on the EP, we feel that you can hear a little bit of all three of us: fat groves, hypnotic synths, and funky bass-lines, all within a light context. Music for dancing, not thinking – music to have some fun with!”

The wait is over, we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.

Jubei’s first L.P "To Have & Have Not" released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene. "To Have & Have Not" delivers exactly what you would expect – the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum & bass / dubstep within its purest and most credible form. 

There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft. It's not music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point "To Have & Have Not" from start to finish keeps it's roots set firmly in the music’s underground foundation. 

The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei’s incredible versatility with tracks that traverse & transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease. 

Each composition is within its own right a standout highlight. The track list includes a ridiculous amount of jaw-dropping collaborative talent. Credits for example see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP’s massive follow up to past release "Say Nothing" entitled "The Moment". "State of the Art" flips the script at 170+ with SP:MC on vocal duties.  Further co production credits on the album bring Jubei together the forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name a few.

Albums like this don’t come along every day and whilst some artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a select few can originate whilst continuing to cross boundaries so consistently. 

Thanks for listening.

The Mat Zo Mix 015 [08-03-14]

It’s getting harder and harder to bemoan Kasra’s Critical imprint of most anything. This latest mere 25 minute mix from his label signing, Emperor is a real case in point. Being so short there’s very little let up but the fact is it’s probably rammed full of a ton of new productions and it’s got a very evident meticulous nature to it. Emperor doesn’t try and cloud the product with ideas above its station, the mix’s rowdy, almost call and response like nature surmises the way a <em>whole</em> bunch of people play out, constantly pushing the crowd on and on into more of a fever. And consequently, as a teaser for the next Critical Sound night, it’s the perfect thing to epitomize the type of energy and devotion their crowd provides.

Lenzman's guest mix on Friction's Radio 1 show to promote the forthcoming 'Looking At The Stars' LP

The début album concerns itself with all types of human soul - from introspection to confidence to doubt. If there was word you could put to it - it would be honesty. It’s certainly a refreshing outlook in this ‘fast-food’ landscape of modern music that surrounds us. 

Pre-order the album now from the Headz store at http://bit.ly/METALP003

Matrix & Futurebound - The Residency on Capital Xtra (Dec. 2014)

It's that time of year. Time to look back and reflect. 2014 has been a great year for our music. So many great albums, top quality music from all areas of the scene.

I can't believe a year has gone so quickly! This time last year I found it hard to choose my favourites - when I went through my CD wallet today it was harder than ever to pick 5 tunes per month. Sometimes you get 6, 7, 8.... It shows what a good year it's been for Drum & Bass. I'm very excited for 2015!

UKF Music Podcast #64 - State Of Mind

If there was one thing we'd level at the drum & bass producer Xtrah, its that he fully comprehends the measure of precision and grit necessary to succeed in his chosen field. As this short mixtape, which was made ahead of his appearance in the Metalheadz Platinum hosted Room Three next week (Friday 27th February) shows, he's really struck a balance between the intricacies of those tunes hell bent on oodles of ghost snares and subtlety and the pomp and drive of the more tear out ready, mid range rollers. Honestly he's long been a guy whose tunes have sent computers in our Farringdon HQ into fits of frenzied Skype IMs, but there's something so short and sweet and yet so measured and exciting about the types of tunes he's included in this mix that makes us ache for the club doors to be open.

We wanted to share it with you this Friday lunchtime, in the hope that it'll inspire the same sort of thing in you this weekend.

I recorded this mix as a practice for a recent 'Simply Vinyl' event in Brighton and made it the mission to not touch the platter at all during the recording, just coasting with the pitch slider. It involves a lot of tunes from when I was learning my trade.  I hope you enjoy x

His set at SUNANDBASS 2014 literally took the roof off of Ambra Night – a killer selection expertly put together – Spirit’s set was red hot and so it was a no brainer to get him back for the Podcast.

An important pillar of the Drum and Bass scene, Duncan Busto aka Spirit has been putting out essential tracks since 1996 on a whole host of labels including Metalheadz, CIA, Renegade Hardware and his own Inneractive imprint amongst many others. 

His SUNANDBASS Podcast showcases yet more strings to his bow – the first half made up of some of his favourite new deeper cuts, expertly woven together and illustrating his interest in a whole range of music and a style people might not expect. In the second half it’s time for an education, ‘Spirit’ style, as he takes us back to the early doors of Jungle and Drum and Bass – this one’s going to be on rotation for a while to come for sure!

Following a string of successful label releases in a short period of time, DLR is ready to unleash his debut solo album on Dispatch Recordings, entitled ‘Seeing Sounds’.

Having previously collaborated with Octane on the ‘Method In The Madness’ album, DLR has quickly established his own signature sound; an instantly recognizable groove mischievously poking through the mix, terrorizing dancefloors in a truly unique way.

As an album concept, ‘Seeing Sounds’ is DLR’s exploration into sound design and how the manipulation of organic elements and subtle soundscapes can create imagery within the music; to set the scene and immerse the listener up to a cinematic level.

Commencing this quest from abstract beginnings, DLR investigates over a selection of different formats and styles, ranging from the tantalizing neck snapper “Charlie Brown” to the sinister breakbeat nonchalance of “I Found Out”.

Inviting external influences to the fold; specially selected guests join the project to explore further, including Total Science, creating the cataclysmic “Control The Sound”, Hydro, the ambient chords and emotive vocal sample in ‘Empyreal” and partner in crime Break, resulting in the mighty, yet constrained “Human Error”.

Since Resident Advisor’s initial announcement, the album has garnered support from all corners, including Noisia, Friction (numerous Radio 1 plays), Goldie, Calyx & Teebee and The Upbeats, with Mixmag selecting it as their February ‘Album of the Month’. The early support from Friction on his BBC Radio 1 show also led to a special invite where DLR dropped an album mix in for live broadcast on the 13th of January.

With an innate understanding of the technology available and a shrewd willingness to exploit it, ‘Seeing Sounds’ is the culmination of DLR’s very best work to date.

DLR - Bad Choice 'Seeing Sounds' Album - Dispatch Recordings (CLIP) - OUT NOW

Being a production line of carefully crafted composition with a meticulous production standard, Calyx & Teebee have delivered yet again. And after dominating the Beatport Top 100 with their most recent single ‘A Day That Never Comes / Snakes & Ladders’, they won’t be applying the brakes anytime soon, especially in the lead up to their greatly anticipated second album on the Ram imprint.

Back on vocal duties, Calyx demonstrates the pair’s multi-dimensional approach to beat making. With plucky percussion relaying you through bouncing subs and a drivingly solid bassline, it defines their vast repertoire of style. They’re not scared to dip into unfamiliar territories, with Calyx’s cool vocals sitting on top of lulling guitar rhythms to provide the first part of a diverse and brilliantly crafted record. 

‘Sawn Off’ rolls out next; it’s a grittier track than its predecessor, with a conundrum of hi-hats and aggressive drum patterns. Pounding pads take you towards a colossal break, heighten by the effect of a cleverly placed sample. The track ricochets throughout, not losing momentum or impact, with an intricately weaved structure, one only achievable by a team who’ve been running the game for decades.  

With an album laying just out of reach, each single is bringing us closer and closer to the inevitable. All four tracks prove they’re still a formidable force to be reckoned with; this LP will only emphasise that fact.
