Press Release – IGNT010
1. Agressor Bunx - Magic Clock
2. Agressor Bunx - The Suffering

The famous duo Agressor Bunx are back, bringing with them the slick, neuro infused basslines which saw their meteoric climb to the top over the past two years. After being discovered amongst the explosion of newcomers who've come through across the scene recently, Agressor Bunx have stood the test and time after time drop some of the nastiest cuts which have been premiered in sets throughout Europe. And welcoming them back is Ignescent, a label who've certainly been making themselves felt this year and who will continue to do so by releasing music of the same calibre.

This next single has been greatly anticipated not just by fans of Agressor Bunx, but also by the wider drum & bass community. Already doing damage on the decks, ‘Magic Clock' and ‘The Suffering' have made the rounds recently and continue to cause destruction to every crowd they're played across.

‘Magic Clock' begins with ominous ticking, drawing itself out for a climatic drop. Rolling out on intimidating atmospherics and drums which eerily sift their way through the mix and become more prominent as the track progresses, Agressor Bunx creating a perfectly foreboding intro. It's not long before all-out chaos ensures, with a bass that cuts through the composition aggressively and pounding drum loops crashing at every angle. The producers have once again catapulted you into their world, a place renowned its chaotic soundscape.

‘The Suffering' comes next, winding up on softly elevating pads which juxtapose its metallic, clattering percussion and slow descent into anarchy. The track then lifts itself into minimal waters, drawing out on a succession of flying beats and pitched up bass to create a disjointed, dystopian feel. Agressor Bunx switch the vibe for ‘The Suffering', an understated but still aggressive, terrifying force. A ricocheting hook snaps up between its layers, helping to drive the record forward and proving that Agressor Bunx can create a catchy rhythm which still scratches deeper with every twist.

Alongside Agressor Bunx, Ignescent are taking you along for their progressive rise to the top. And it's an ascent which doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon.

Ez.

Over the years we have written a number of tracks, some have turned out ok and got a release, others......well they didn't.
Anyway, we thought we would give a load of these tracks away to see if anyone actually liked them!
Its a relatively wide selection (some are barely completed!) and range from a good few years ago to more recent.

Hope you enjoy!

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
