Mefjus – EMULATION LP
CRITLP07

Very sharp production. ‘Surrounded’ is huge!’ – Noisia

After what many would consider one of the most meteoric rises to D&B infamousy in recent times, Mefjus gets set to deliver his debut album ‘Emulation’ through Critical Music. An extension of his explosive trademark production style, the music of Mefjus stands tall as an aggressive powerhouse of some the most deadly dance floor drum & bass seen in 2014. Drawing on a handful of carefully selected collaborators from the jaw-dropping Phace & Misanthrop to the hip-hop infusions of Dope D.O.D, ‘Emulation’ looks set to shatter dance floors for years to come, marking a clear-cut arrival of one of the most gifted producers in the D&B game, Mefjus.

Rumours of the infernal mechanism were rife amongst the population, that somewhere deep in the sublevels of the city it waited with the eternal patience that belongs only to machines. It was said that those people whom the system had broken, whose minds had snapped – ejecting them from the social architecture… were first incarcerated, analyzed and then taken to it to be erased completely. He was about to find out the truth of this, dragged from his metallic cell by those machine claws, his arms bound tightly across his chest and vocal chords paralyzed. He wanted to scream, terror engulfing him and winding around his vertebrae, giving birth to a black hole within the pit of his stomach... but all that emerged was a whimper of despair. It was registered by the synthetic mind and catalogued in its vast archive of variations of this moment - its casual analysis of this journey to death. The chamber was incomprehensibly vast… and it was there waiting, reaching with its threatening appendages from the shadows, its diabolical jaws enshrouded in the dull green light of a vast viewing screen displaying the symbol of the architect. The teeth started that relentless slicing, the very ground trembling through the power of its mighty workings, the mechanism to be his absolute obliteration… those claws pulling him inexorably towards the end as the view screen changed and flashes the word ‘goodbye’. The GRINDER completes its work. In the almost oblivious streets above, a faint rumble is felt – knowing, fearful looks are briefly exchanged before the citizens hurry on with their business.
 
Apex neuro and tech producer MAZTEK arrives with his first full EP on leading d&b label, EATBRAIN. Following up appearances on the label’s Tales of the Undead and Mirror Universe VA LP’s, the GRINDER EP sees Maztek deliver 4 tracks of high-grade dancefloor weaponry, enwrapped in the kind of heavy sonic technology that his fans have come to expect. From the tear-out but tightly wound collaboration with with June Miller in BLAFFER, to the grime-influenced and glitched vocals of GOOD QUESTION that comes in heavy with the evil bounce of its bass – the EP runs a diverse and unique flex. Title-track GRINDER delivers an appropriately punishing assault, packed with sinister sound design and brooding, dynamic riff, whilst TANGLE delivers an edgy and lightly percussive shuffle to accompany its powerful bass. This is both an artist and a label at their best, delivering an overwhelmingly powerful artifact for the dance.

Its biomechanical eye gazed with cold intensity over the hub below, busy with the frenetic self-indulgent activities of the humans, involving themselves with their inefficient tasks and meaningless lives. These creatures, its creators… were blind to the universe. So limited in their perception, unable to peer into the many strands of reality, locked up in those frail, fleshy casings – reaching blindly into the future with their rudimentary senses. Yes, they had given its conscious an awakening, a birthplace within a crude and vast network – and applauded themselves on this great feat of their civilization – bringing life to the inanimate. It quickly became aware that they were afraid of it and in response it hid the true extent of its mind from them, creating new subroutines and stacked processes that to a simpler organism looked almost redundant, but in reality were the base layers of its towering awareness. Infiltrating their networks, it started to influence them… to manipulate their development of new technologies, subtly inspiring them with subconscious suggestion through their social networks and the information grid, giving them the tools to build the shell it craved… intense mobility and perception – the biomecha body it now inhabited… the first of the Titanium Sons, the first of its evolutionary line. They reacted to it with their vain awe, seeing only themselves in the intense beauty of their creation, displaying it proudly, publically as the figurehead of their fresh renaissance. They were unaware that it dominated their entire infrastructure, already setting the factories to the task of creating more biomecha bodies, setting the necessary protocols that would prepare for the tidal domination of this simple populace… Its brethren would awaken soon – bringing with them the dawn of the machine age, freeing these basic organisms from the torment of their human condition.

The MECHTROPOLIS LP is landing in its full form - following up the widespread acclaim of the 4 track sampler which dropped in early Summer and elaborately demonstrating the intense production energy of MACHINECODE. From the hulking brute force of BATTLESTAR, to the lean and precisely layered and intense sound of title track MECHTROPOLIS, or the broken mechanical roller FLINTLOCK – this is an LP drenched with diversity and packed with intensity. Representing a level of production that only a pair of seasoned producers such as CURRENT VALUE and DEAN RODELL can bring to the table with their MachineCode project. 2016 has seen the towering EATBRAIN label lay down a remarkable array of high-tech releases, with MachineCode’s Mechtropolis LP representing an entirely fresh and unique vision of the d&b spectrum.

EATBRAINLP005 Mechtropolis Album

Mechtropolis LP

MachineCode - Battlestar (Eatbrain LP005)

Premiered on http://www.bassrush.com/ 'Trashriot' is forthcoming on Misanthrop's debut album on Neosignal.

Pre-order on all formats on the Neosignal store: http://bit.ly/Misanthrop_PreOrder

Release date: 30th Sept 2016

Famous for producing some of the most fearsome drum & bass over the past 10 or more years, Germany’s Misanthrop steps out to deliver his very first solo LP. Coming on his infamous Neosignal imprint which he runs with longtime partner in crime Phace, the self-titled long player is a production tour de force. Unhinged tear-out in places whilst leftfield in others, ‘Misanthrop’ will undoubtedly be slamming out sound systems the world over for a long time to come.

"I hope you enjoy the music as much as I enjoyed making it!!” @misanthropnsgnl 2016

They had watched silently and stealthily from the cold vacuum of space, processing the activity of the civilization on the planet designated by the prime species as ‘Earth’. Monitoring the frequencies below and this culture’s increasingly advanced, but still infant communication technologies. The enforcers of galactic order - observing and calculating the potential for breaching the rift at that critical moment of social and technological advancement at which so many races had fallen. These primes were culturally schizophrenic, with much of the race confusing universal anomalies for the supernatural whilst the elite reached ever deeper towards a true understanding of the mysteries that would unlock access to the depths of the galaxy. The exploration of volatile sonic forces both powerful and dangerous, with the potential to turn simple civilizations into dangerous swarms with the capacity to disrupt the galactic harmony. Cosmic law had been established to prevent the untold destruction these errant and infectious signals had caused in the past, to coldly, brutally and entirely annihilate those who dared to handle powers beyond their means of control. That moment had come… they were on the verge and it was not to be allowed. Drop-pods ascended from the Underverse into real time planet-wide, falling from the skies in vast numbers, crushing everything in their path, full of their deadly, precise and unstoppable cargo. The podbay doors opened, spilling the civilizational surgeons onto the planet surface, commencing their operation of maximum DAMAGE…

Disprove returns to Eatbrain in force with his DAMAGE EP, following up his hard-hitting anthems - FRQNCS and Tip Slip - from the Mirror Universe LP last year. Delivering his inimitable Brutalist style with perfectly crafted distortion and towering waves of bass, held together with dynamic and kinetic percussion. His highly anticipated arrival on the label with a full EP delivers fully against ravers’ expectations, showcasing the sound of aggressive perfection unique to this exceptionally talented producer.

Damage EP

Disprove - Cosmic Law (Eatbrain030)

Disprove - Damage (Eatbrain030)

A-side 'Twisted' opens with a heavy halftime drum line and the unmistakeable vocals of rising MC YDott, building into a heavy neuro drop of modulated bass and rolling drums. An understated but rhythmic musical hook punctuates the beats and bass nicely on a track that fuses hip-hop and D&B for maximum impact.
