“THE BLACK BELOW” and “THE BLACK BELOW REMIX ALBUM”
Release Date 28.11.16

Linus & Amy’s debut album was written from the viewpoint of a girl dealing with lost love. It is the experience of self doubt and insecurities that result from heartbreak that inspired the album. “These feelings rise to the surface and can leave one teetering on the edge of the black below.”  The album ranges from downbeat melancholic ballads to hypnotic techno grooves, and has been described as “underground electronic pop in the vein of Massive Attack.”  Respected Producer, Ulrich Schnauss described the album as “a very engaging combination of gentle electronics and dancey grooves.”

“The Black Below Remix Album” features both established veterans of the dance music scene Howie B, Terry Francis, Alsion Marks, Alexi Delano and Russ Gabriel, as well as some of today’s best producers and DJs Mononoid, Joseph S. Joyce, Jem Stone, Mike Bryant, Tunnel and Ashwin Khosa.   Having remixed everyone from U2 to Björk, Howie B brings his musical polymath to “Arsonist’s Daughter” turning the track into a deep acid house jam.  As one of the founding father’s of London’s Fabric, Terry Francis is a mainstay of the House Music scene. His remix combines two of Linus and Amy’s signature tracks using parts of “Our Secret Tunnel” and “Follow Me Down”. The combination of syncopated rhythms and trippy vibes make his remix a delight for all Tech-House DJs.

Linus & Amy "The Black Below Remixed" (Previews) Out Now

Algorithmic has been referred to as a "real DJ's DJ" and rightly so. He is one of those producers that if you've been a legit junglist over the past couple of decades, you'll know exactly who he is and how he sounds. One of those "if you know... you know", types of artist. With certified titans of the scene giving him rotation, if you don't know who he is, then you better get to work digging through those digital and vinyl crates. Bombastic amen assaults with unrivalled party energy await. 
The opening track, Catch a Contact is a straight-up hip hop sampling hostile beat down. Imagine being precision punched above the nose with either a drum beat or saturated bass stab in quick succession. Don't be fooled by the use of aggressive metaphors here, it's not a breakcore, nor dark side DnB track, it's just perfectly agro party-jungle.
Busta Domes follows up with a much more flowing feel that is hard to not get lost in, grooving about with a windy ole neck. It hints at subtle juke and footwork flavours, but not enough so you would take it out of the 'big vibey jungle' section in the record shop. The rapid array of rhythm switch-ups and masterful edits keep you on your toes but give you enough space to loosen up into a groove. 

We predict Pump Action may end up being the "people's A-side" by the time summer gets here. Lush, classic jungle pads open it up and lead you gradually into a raving-whirling-dervish. Sirens, a 4/4 sub kick hardcore section, female vocal gates and ragga samples might all sound like trope overload, but not how he uses them. His expertise in his own style and energy is as always, completely refreshing.
There aren't enough Algorithmic records or recorded DJ sets but god damn will we try and put out as many as we can because people just want more.... with their jaw on the floor!

GMETA010 marks the beginning of a new visual chapter. Shaun AZRAK has been working on a new methodology which sees him pushing the boundaries of physical materials and dimensions to create these breathtaking pieces, each of them, as ever, a response to and inspired by the release in question.

Default Position is a London/Berlin-based record label founded by Joseph S Joyce which specialises in emotive forms of electronic music. The label gets its name from a term that is widely used in psychology, referring to a person's natural tendency or reaction to something or someone. A person's default position is often based on deeply embedded core beliefs about themselves or the world around them, often originating from childhood. Many of us will have to challenge our default positions in life, especially if we've developed negative ones. In terms of creativity, however, we believe that the default position serves something of great value. We believe it represents an artist's fundamental frequency, a place of creative authenticity, devoid of external influences or material motive. When an artist's output comes from their default position they express their truth. Our aim is to help them deliver their message.
