Drumsound & Bassline Smith – Phantasm - TECH 100 Part 2


Release Date: 23rd February 2014


Before the reverberations of TECH 100's onslaught have even faded away, though, Drumsound and Bassline Smith are back with Part 2.



First up is “Phantasm”, infused with echoes of hardcore from the intro. Growling bass and haymaker drums maintain the assault and, even when the track breaks down, high-tension stabs punch back in giving no time to let up. This bullies ravers into moving and accepts no refusal.



Then the mood apparently lightens with “Make Some Noise”. A warm sunrise intro draws you in, but then the calm is shattered. The eponymous vocal sample is the alarm signal before a driving mid-line and drums build to a tumultuous drop. When the rave needs adrenaline to the heart, here's one to draw for.



Now that the energy level's appropriately red-lining, Drumsound and Bassline Smith keep it there with the VIP edit of “Can U Feel It”. The original has already earned its stripes in the parties of the world, and this mix twists it into the shape of an unstoppable steamroller. Bouncy percussion and syncopated bass plus the salute-to-the-old-skool sample selection make this a cut for the true heads.



Finally, we roll into “Violator”. This is call-to-action music. The intro hints at film-score elements, setting the scene for something dramatic. That drama is delivered with a monster drop. Drums, bass, swirling atmospherics and a spy-movie riff keep the plot  building into an unmissable epic.



It's still only early in 2014, but Drumsound and Bassline Smith have already set the tone. Joining the dots between the past and future of drum and bass music, double-strike of TECH 100 sets the standard for the next century of Technique Recordings releases. So don't blink, you'll want to be watching.

Drumsound & Bassline Smith - Phantasm ( Clip) [TECH 100 - PT2]

Only in Dreams

Revenge

"Summit Storm" is my sonic tribute to the majestic heights of the Himalayas, blending euphoric melodies with thunderous beats that capture the raw energy of nature's peaks. Each layer takes you on a journey through snow-capped summits and mystical ice caves, creating a transcendent experience that ignites both mind and body. I hope this track inspires you to reach new heights and embrace the powerful energy of the mountains.

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

L Plus – Faces / Heavy Mental

Release Date: 3rd Feb 2013


Bratislava-based L Plus has proved over a string of heavy-duty releases that Slovakians can do D&B too. His most recent offering, the “Amazing” EP firmly established him as a major asset to the scene with an ear for the classic elements of rave music, and an uncanny talent for building an atmospheric soundscape.

And now, he's flexing those skills again in this release.

“Faces” is a perfect example of what is fast-becoming the signature L Plus style. Arpeggiated keys and gentle melodic patterns lead into a speeded-up vocal sample which harks back to nineties lighters-in-the-air moments. And then, just like rave music in the early nineties, it all goes hardcore, building into a drop that delivers powerful bass and digital bleep-riffs. Even with the madness that ensues, L Plus never loses sight of the melodic underpinning of the track, creating a monster that reintroduces the power of early raving for modern parties. And, just in case you want to ease your audience in to this sound more gently, he provides a Radio Edit to educate the mainstream.

The other track on this release is “Heavy Mental”. This is a masterclass in building and releasing tension. The intro rises and rises, using wide pads punctuated by percussive stabs to signpost things to come. Then a further lift is provided by a ladder of chords which leads straight into an explosive drop that throws a wall of energy in your face. Interplay between high and low end, melody combined with aggression, all contribute towards a tune that's a guaranteed dancefloor filler.

So, L Plus has brought his special brand of twenty-first century rave music back for another outing. “Faces” and “Heavy Mental” are tunes that will grace the sets of history-literate DJs everywhere.

Recent signing Metrik crashes onto the Hospital release schedule with this immense self-titled EP. Hot on the heels of his Essential Mix for BBC Radio One, Metrik has forged a reputation for producing top-notch peak time tunes with catchy hooks and uplifting vibes a-plenty.

Kicking off with "Break Of Dawn", Metrik takes no prisoners as the tune drops with vocals from Dynamite MC into a cacophony of souped up synth work with plenty of fun factor. This is an explosive dancefloor banger that is guaranteed to cause a ruckus. Next is "Out Of The Fire" with its undulating melodies and euphoric, rippling synths, which will have hands in the air across the world.

Hot on the heels of this comes sci-fi inspired "Solar" with its bleepy, spaced out intro, distorted builds and pounding drums. Last but by no means least Metrik takes us on a voyage of discovery to the incredible "Distant Shores" which brings the EP to a resounding close with its epic soundscapes, progressive structure and blissed out instrumentation. "Distant Shores" is a unique way to round off a solid statement of intent from a young producer, marking his ascension to the prime time.

The "Metrik" EP showcases his musically expansive, techy sound across four incredible tracks, which will impress, move and energize their audience in equal measure.
