Ed Rush & Optical - Medicine (VRS001) Virus 1998

Goldie, Jubei, SP MC - The Metalheadz Show on Rinse FM - 19-06-2013

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.

The name Chroma has echoed through the drum and bass community since their output as a collaborative project. 
Individually, they’ve already been hosted by a number of pronounced record labels, being met by critical acclamation from across the business. But returning to underground tastemaker Program, Chroma’s next production will resonate in your minds for a while. Their style has ensured longevity, whilst dipping into the futuristic sounds that makes contemporary drum and bass so forward thinking. And trust us, this one is no different.
Rolling out first is ‘201 Dub’ which highlights the trios consistency at putting out heartfelt bass-slabs that can reach an intimidating depth of musicality. Plucky, powerful and precisely laid out, this track leaves a lasting impression for the whole release. Beginning with a skit that lays beneath its structure, you’re instantly aware of the ragga-style vocal that fades between carefully constructed beat patterns. Enticing you further into the mix, its driving pace never fluctuates yet continuously holds the wraithlike vibe which Chroma seem to conjure seamlessly.  
A record that quivers with power and with a bassline that reverberates throughout, ‘Sovereign’ continues with the same authority. At times you’re caught unaware by its drifting humanism and the slight nod to the record’s softer elements. This track opens their repertoire like a door, with the insistent kick of drums and skip of sample which weaves between loops of the amen break.  Peppered with dynamic riff patterns, commanding your attention, the record is broken up by thoughtful breaks. As a result, they give you time to reflect on the versatility that Chroma is renowned for.
Going beyond the prototype and establishing themselves as a formidable force within the genre, this isn’t the last you’ll hear from the trio. 
So once again, it’s time to get with the Program!

Trilo - Exit Ticket

I teamed up with https://soundcloud.com/gridlokdnb and https://soundcloud.com/benverse for an exclusive tune which is out now on the Let It Roll Drum & Bass vol.2 compilation.

Get your Copy here: https://LetItRoll.lnk.to/vol2Ar

Nightlife we're leading, when the skies turn black
raise up the ceiling, when the skies turn black
adrenaline we're bleeding, when the skies turn black
minds that we're feeding, when the skies turn black

you know where we're headed
no turning back there's no regretting
transform the music into venom
if they don't know you need to tell them

from the mind its visionary
into your brain is where we're buried
fuse the ruffness with the heavy
dead of night is when i'm ready

Drum & Bass, Vol. 2

One of the many remixes I worked on with Grooverider over the years...was made in the Virus Studio in SOHO in 1998 with all the drums from a real 909 drum machine we borrowed....

Sirenes - The Deep End (Grooverider Remix) 1998

Optical is owner of Virus Recordings, Music Producer and DJ from England.

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
