Dub FX – Back To Basics (James Marvel & Hypoxia Remix)

A. Chasing Shadows

SQBASS returns to the yellow label with his ep Scales that takes us further through the drum n bass spectrum that influences the production journey.

Scales is the dancefloor-driven side from the music and influences: crisp drums, evolving textures, and rolling basslines come together in a forward-moving blend of groove and atmosphere. 

It's spacious and refined, yet clearly designed with club energy in mind.

Here the new Signs track "Groove Propulsion" premiered on Noisia Radio.
Forthcoming in September, 9th on Kosenprod

Kosen 22 sees the next release from the amazing Signs trio. Constantly looking for new and innovative sounds, the French label once again looks at the Signs, this time coming with The Pursuit, which is backed with Groove Propulsion.

Opsen, Primal Therapy and Le Lutin are the producers behind Signs, each having an established career, and their own sound, which they have brought together to make the group strong, unique and dedicated to the funk. Their collaboration developed quickly, creating dancefloor hits for a number of labels which got them noticed by those that matters. They head into the future with The Pursuit and Groove Propulsion.

The Pursuit is big in more ways than one, with a complex flavour that erupts out of the intro. Filling your speakers with a manic sense of anticipation, this one builds subtly to a crescendo of sound before it has even begun. When the main section drops in, you’re caught between wanting to break out and wanting to listen ever so intently for the changes. It builds up again, unleashing more and more sound, as Signs keep their expression firmly within barriers. Constantly refreshing and coming up again with new effects and samples, The Pursuit really is something to behold. Here is the future of Kosenprod, and the future of drum & bass music.

Groove Propulsion is, as the name suggests, a fast paced dash into outer space. Filmic, cinematic themes make themselves plain in the opening, before Signs drop down to launch a weighty, bassy main section. Random drops of drums simmer up to the surface before dropping down, backed with weird, fluid noises which increase in intensity as things carry on. Signs are not afraid or ashamed to do things their own way, and have the skills to back up their intensions. Groove Propulsion is just one shining example of why they are so good, and why so many people are getting behind them.

Available exclusively on Beatport: September 9th, 2016.
Worldwide release: September 24th, 2016.

One year on from the launch of their inaugural “Rotation” programme, Addictive Behaviour’s various-artist shuttle orbits earth once more. On board this time, a crew of 21 intrepid pioneers, bringing with them a diverse spectrum of musicality and D&B engineering expertise to the quest. Armed, locked and loaded with an assault of sophisticated phonic weaponry, their mission is simple. Audio annihilation!

This 2nd chapter to Addictive Behaviour’s dynamic album series is their most ambitious project to date. An otherworldly journey showcasing an edgy and explosive array of raw talent from a collective of old and new artists from the Addictive camp. Embarking on this Rotation, and making their label debut is an impressive ensemble of well-known names as well as fresh up and coming, cutting edge producers. Nick Bee rains in the darker, techy vibes with his “Ghetto Politics”, as do Kyrist & Babarix in their obliterating “Maikuro Funk” collab. Meanwhile, Release, Tephra & Arkoze, Data 3 & Modu provide their own unique variations, beaming with moody subs and percussive vibes, encapsulating the Addictive Behaviour tone to great effect. Philth adds a fresh, melodic, vocal composition to the deep end of the mix in “The Big Question” whilst Dom & Roland’s Xanadu is commissioned for remixing duties delivering an explosive new take on Detail’s “Breakout”.

Talking of which, joining the new recruits on this expedition, long term label regulars Detail & L 33 step into the fray, flexing their elements of neuro-tech styles and adding momentum to this growing satellite of revolving music production. Also on board this charter, some recent Addictive additions. Mystic State’s “Eye Contact” and Nami’s “Downpour” push the audio transit on with their bass fuelled roller’s rocketing us in to unknown territory.

Finally, kicking in the afterburn, are the Rotation – Part One veterans. Artifact returns with another relentless aural display in “Materialist” whilst Fade brings a heavy metallic attack in “Hold Tight” Finishing off the universal carnage TR Tactics are joined by relative label newcomers The Clamps to bring us a full on neuro assault in “Conscious”.

Rotation –Part Two will be making it’s re-entry in to Earth’s atmosphere on September the 30th. The 14 track LP is an awe-inspiring amalgamation of complex layered productions showing us once again the label’s ability to evolve. An immersive and varied, frontier pushing display with one unifying theme echoing from its core once again. . . Good quality production.

Rotation Part Two

Ghetto Politics

NickBee - Ghetto Politics

Label: Neodigital
Release Date: 19.03.2012
Cat No: NDGTL003

Neodigital is proud to introduce ‘Mefjus’, the unrestrained, Austrian producer who presents us with the third release on this revolutionary, digital only, label. 
Expanding their portfolio in ways others can’t, Far Too Close // Distantia bring nothing but nostalgia to our ears and the dance floor. 

We expected immense things from this label in 2012 and Far Too Close // Distantia doesn’t disappoint. The A side delivers Far Too Close, a profound, techy roller with psychedelic snares and skintight production. Heading up the B side Mefjus provides us with Distantia. Its introduction is layered skin deep with atmospheric synths, which drops into perfectly unconventional funk. 

Neodigtial 003 is set for release on the 19th of March 2012 but expect to hear it tearing up every dance floor until then!

LCKDLP001S - Human Research Album Sampler [OUT NOW]

Black Sun Empire - Transmissions (Mindscape Remix)

Own It Now: technique.lnk.to/2020Vision

We're not even close to recovering from the sonic assault of Technique's twentieth-anniversary 'Remix LP' but the follow-up strike is already upon us. We've seen classics from the back cat get the treatment from the likes of A.M.C, Bladerunner, Marky and Digital, but now it's all about looking to the future. With ten brand new killer tunes, the Technique Recordings gang are already setting a benchmark for 2020.

And, judging by this album, the picture of what's to come is multi-hued and multi-faceted.

The break-focused future-jungle tear-out of Drumsound & Bassline Smith's 'Ruffneck Soldier' – already a tried and tested deejay weapon on dub – sits alongside the cinematic expanse of L Plus's 'The Planet' and the controlled aggression of NC-17 and Exile's 'War'.

As if to emphasise the variety, No Concept's Kerizma-laced 'Electrify' rubs shoulders with Tantrum Desire and Youngman's 'Precision', offering us a horror-influenced stomper and a soul-meets-staccato dancefloor workout respectively. And that's before we even get into the contribution from DJSS, 'Only Get Better', blending subtlety and savagery in equal measure.

This is Technique's 2020 vision, setting out a blueprint for the type of beat and bassline science that's going to be lighting up drum 'n' bass dancefloors over the coming months. Building on the hard-earned legacy of twenty years in the business, their next two decades in the top tier start right here. Essential.
