Dinosaur

Metalheadz rounds off an incredibly successful year with an EP from core label producer Mikal, who also brings some friends along for the ride.  

META013 is a project that shows the versatility of Mikal. His take on the Headz sound includes steam train steppers, halftime dancehall grooves and classic reinforced era jungle. The EP is an expansive project that includes collaborations with Break and Nymfo, from South Country UK across to Holland.

The dancehall and dub parts of Mikal’s armoury are strongly on display here - his contribution to the long lineage of dancehall influenced drum n bass is a confident- take no prisoners attitude,  typical Metalheadz.

The package is broken down as a four track vinyl EP, with an exclusive digital only fifth track. There is also an accompanying video for the lead track. 

The EP is five tracks worth of intent and is the tip of the iceberg for Mikal’s future in terms of sound and presence on the label and we keenly await his next outing.

Break & Mikal - Status Low

I wrote ‘Joy’ as an expression of gratitude to the people I love; my girlfriend, family, and friends. They’ve been by my side through the coldest and darkest moments; through my grief. My last single, ‘Better days’ represented the transition out of winter into spring. ‘Joy’ represents the summer, a time to share happiness with the people I care about the most. They are my Joy.

For our second release in the series of singles and EPs, @thematicspb & @oddkut have joined forces to bring a "Minimal Grind" EP. Equally split into two solo and two collaborative productions, this four-tracker once again proves Oddkut's and Thematic's mastery in both fields, with sonics ranging from pretty stripped minimalistic dubstep to skippy percussive-driven leftfield bass.

Solid Surface EP

Bredren - Mental Gen

Out now: https://www.beatport.com/release/dilapidate-vermin-feat-mc-xl/2287736

London boy Objectiv returns to Lifestyle this Spring to deliver two fresh cuts of heavy drum & bass, continuing his rise in the recent year that has him marked out as a promising name in the scene. 

Fresh off the back of his collab with Klinical and A&P for ‘Lexicon’, Felix once again blesses our imprint with his sub heavy, technical & deep style, two heavy-hitting tracks designed for the darkest of dancefloors. 

Dilapidate opens with a tense atmosphere, punctuated by a single snappy snare and stabs, before dropping into a slightly w0nked-out minimal stepper, with warping mid-bass sliding around on top of a powerful sub. The B-side ‘Vermin’ features the cold flow of MC XL over a proper stompy roller, with the rich and heavy low-end tying the two tunes together, making for a damaging sound. 

A stellar release from this upcoming producer, who is rightfully seeing a lot of exposure at the moment.
