Ed Rush & Optical - Medicine (VRS001) Virus 1998

An unreleased track from 1997, lost in a pile of DAT's somewhere in the studio amongst other bits of old fruit and rizla.

Optical - Zoner (Virus unreleased 1997)

One of my personal favourites from our early releases on Virus. Taken from VRS003 'Ed Rush & Optical's 3rd single on the label in 1998.

ED RUSH & OPTICAL - 'Satellites' (VIRUS RECORDINGS)1998

I really love the atmosphere of this tune. It takes me to somewhere else for a while. Josh Wink was and is a great inspiration to us here at Virus.

Don't Waste My Time (Instrumental Grime Version)

This is an updated version of the original Aphro dubplate made in the late 90s. The Luniz gave the OK for a proper remix to be done which Micky Finn and DJ Aphrodite as Urban Takeover did successfully and this Remix was released with a dub version and the original and th Aphro dubplate in the late 90s.

While The Upbeats may explain their choice of album title with the humble statement “We’re not super tech geeks, we’ve always felt our approach to production is quite simple.” Anyone who knows anything about this duo’s music can tell you that the end results sound far from primitive. The cheeky-grinned New Zealanders have filled dance floors and iPod playlists around the world with their unique take on drum & bass for nearly a decade, yet their music is sounding fresher than ever; as their impressive new album is about to prove.

‘Primitive Technique’ is an album that caters to many but compromises for no one, and with techniques that may be primitive The Upbeats have crafted an album that sounds undeniably modern.

As the label quickly approaches its milestone 20th anniversary next year and as Metalheadz enters another exciting chapter, the continuing emphasis on the absolute pinnacle of quality music continues, this time courtesy of one of Manchester’s most respected and revered scene heavyweights <a href="https://soundcloud.com/marcusintalex" target="_blank">Marcus Intalex</a>

Marcus signals his long overdue return with META008 which features both “Riots” & “Hell To Pay, two outings that illustrate why Marcus is still deservedly regarded as one of the scenes most important ambassadors.

“Hell to Pay” features a very healthy nod to the past in bang up to minute standard. All of the golden elements are here that defined the early tech era – Heavy tech stabs, plenty of reese and a massive helping of live drums – Everything that is right about this sound is found right here in perfect balance. Elements that are tried tested and in this case perfect!

Another unmissable 2013 Metaheadz release

META008 Marcus Intalex - Hell 2 Pay

Solid Steel (17th May) DK opens this week with a track off the awesome Thundercat album and into Ten Tigers from Bonobo, the return of Slum Village and back to '95 for T Power & MK Ultra. Then it's another spin for the Machinedrum mix of Clissold, Leatherette (who are also playing at the Roundhouse), Joy Orbison and Owiny Sigoma Band. African and Latin rhythms take over with Irakere, Roberto Roena, Four Tet remixing Rocket Number Nine and Azymuth ahead of their UK tour next month. The beats turn heavy with Spatial, Dorian Concept, Walter Ego and two from Die & Addison Groove, before BRTSH KNIGHTS and Ronnie McNeir add a soulful slant. And with the Fela Kuti tribute show also happening this weekend in London, we feature a 1975 cover version from Johnny Rodrigues and a track from the legend himself, off the suitably titled 'Fela's London Scene' album recorded at Abbey Road.

Optical is owner of Virus Recordings, Music Producer and DJ from England.
Bookings: UK/ROW: mark@esp-agency.com
USA: saleem@amodeagency.com

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
