An early DnB collab between Optical and Dom & Roland on the legendary Moving Shadow imprint. 1997. This is a special dubplate VIP. As you can probably hear it was arranged by hand live from a bunch of loops...sometimes I used to create a track like this instead of a fixed arrangement to see which way it should flow in the final track...quick draw desk mutes and live eq sweeps...another era...

The Freiburg (Germany) based MC Fava presents the 'Mr Junglist Man' EP on V Recordings.

Fava is a talented and open minded vocalist with over 10 years experience, including highly respected residencies at Fabric and Sun & Bass plus collaborations with producers such as L-Side, Klute, Seba, B-Complex & Nymfo. Fava is rapidly becoming one of the go-to artists for quality vocal delivery, and this body of work demonstrates it perfectly.

For the 'Mr Junglist Man' EP Fava has called on some of Planet V’s most respected artists for production, including Command Strange, L-Side, Alibi and Acuna. His versatility is flexed as he moves effortlessly from the Liquid vibes of ‘Choices’ with Command Strange, through to his more club oriented tracks with L-Side and Acuna. The EP also features MC Fats who delivers a killer verse on the title track with Alibi.

Since signing with V Recordings in 2015, the São Paulo due Alibi have continued to delivered time and time again. The duos highly anticipated debut album ’Said & Done’ released at the tail end of 2018 which was their most complete statement of their musical vision to date, gaining support from the drum and bass scene giants. Alibi then went on to guest on BBC Radio 1, and stood at the forefront of the ’25 Years Of V Recordings’ tour, solidifying themselves as one of the labels top names.

Their first release after the album comes in the form of the ’Catalyst EP’, a four track release which shows Alibi experimenting with their harder, more dance-floor focused side, with ‘Sorrow’ as an additional nod to ‘Said & Done’. This EP will sure be the driving force of their summer sets, where they’ll be playing at a number of prestigious club nights and festivals such as the ‘Future’ album launch and Glastonbury.

Kicking off 2020 with some fresh vibes for a new decade the Beat Merchants show their versatility, and Jubbz and Juiceman have crafted something really special with this unique 4 track project. The Africa EP is brimming with vibes, energy and originality and moves between tear out dancefloor cuts and experimental tribal riddims with ease.

One of the most exciting D&B production outfits to emerge in recent times, this is just the tip of the iceberg, so expect to see and hear a lot more of the Beat Merchants over the next 12 months!

This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo
