S.L.I.M. / Saucer / Burning Bush

10 Years Demand Part #2

tshabee - S.L.I.M.

Andrey Terekhov is known to the world as Eastcolors, and is known for his wide-scale, expansive sound on releases for labels such as Critical, Samurai and Hospital. Now, it is Demand Records who take up the talented young Russian’s work, The Swiss imprint is respected the world over for its strength of roster, quality of releases and forward-thinking vision. The perfect combination of artist and label, then, for the issue of The Light EP.

The original is straight up classic Eastcolors, with ranging depth, soulful vocals and urgent, percussive beats. The flow is augmented with some flashing electronics, smooth delivery and top drawer arrangement and production. Truly a gifted musician, if you have slept on Eastcolors up to now, it’s time to wake up.

The original is accompanied by four remixes, with Beastie Respond going all late-night on things, with some retro-sounding strings and bass added to their version. The remix still has the contemplative beauty of EC’s mix, but is taken in another direction. Imagine 80s soul and funk clashing with some sleazy house elements, and you might get close. Different, exciting, and perfectly fitting.

The Look Light remix on the other hand, is a more minimal, laid-back move. Stripping away some of the outer layers, Look Light instead focus on the groove, turning things on their heads as they cover some serious UK funky/garage ground. Phil Tangent ramps up the bass, as his remix moves from electro bursts to deep, close d&b in the blink of an eye. Troy Gunner, star of Mindset, Brownswood and The Crescent amongst others, adds elements of dub as he breaks the track down and slowly rebuilds it into a club bubbler for those that like their music serious and funky.

The remix package is perfectly balanced, and is one of the most varied you will hear all year. The release is topped off with Moonwalker, with Noel, which sees more running beats and booming bass, with an interesting undertow and touches of jazz in the corners.

An amazing set from Eastcolors, showing his Light to the world. Get to know this fantastic producer, and get your copy now.

In comes Walkin, question and answer at its best. The synth work giving feedback to the vocals and every flicker and fx just at the right place. Simple yet complex, which keeps listeners at their toes.

SGD (so good) a collaboration with good friend Zdenko Beer, who was behind the camera on the Druid video, this time joins @differend on production. We’ve chosen that track deliberately, with the sax in the beginning as it sets a great and different tone. It’s a mystic & heavy stepper to start Selects #14 with.

On "Face" you might actually miss the drop but compared to the other tracks, this one is clearly the roller of the bunch. The synthesis makes this track very trippy and hypnotic. A technoid track that perfectly wraps up the EP!

We end it all on the Microphun EP by some lighter sounds on 'Fingerprints'. Is it liquid? Is it tech? Who know’s, who cares it’s refreshing but still technical, we take a bow(sar). 😜

Everything must come to end at some point and here we are celebrating the last ever Demand Records release after 11 years of existence with one of Austria’s finest exports @roygreen. It couldn’t be anyone else really as the duo’s participation is bigger than anyone else on the label with 4 EPs and over 20 released songs.

Piano strokes greet us as we set off. Rolling drums enrich our ear holes and suddenly the fanfare kicks in. 'Without A Light' without a doubt a perfect introduction to what’s to come.

We haven’t stopped stepping and in comes another boogey. To be precise the Jungleboogey. No further explanation is needed here really, it’s exactly what the name suggests. Its rawness and weight takes us back in time to when Jungle and Drum & Bass was formed.

RoyGreen & Protone - Jungleboogey

The Swiss label presents the first part of their 21st release, which sees music from the Austrian sensations RoyGreen & Protone.

The title cut sees the duo taking on all of their dub influences, laying things down very slow and low, with a bassline which is set to shake up your world. An absolutely huge ode to the power of the bass, this one begins the EP with power, force, and speaker-busting vibrations.

RoyGreen & Protone - Speak The Truth

The ravishing title cut of the Control EP is one of the biggest and best you've heard all year, with MC Swift's verses resounding around the storming accompaniment, with every flavour hitting exactly when it should, from running mini-breaks to the main correspondence of harsh drums and booming low end. Bredren continue to take drum & bass to the next level, as only they know how.

After three rollers, we present you a stepper in French Toast. If there was ever any doubt about the differences, point to this corker of a track.

RoyGreen & Protone - French Toast

Bredren have become known for their signature sound across releases on Dispatch, Demand Records, and the Control EP is set to continue their trend of high quality, passionate music. They welcome you to the world of Control.

Mechanica builds its way up, shocking its way into life, with razor-edged effects sitting on top of a tribal beat, and funky, erratic percussion. Bredren have thought about every beat, every drop and every sample, as they slowly but surely build their own world in your speakers, letting their knowledge and love for the music take over.

Versatile, dependable Swiss label Demand Records are back, showcasing their new Albatross EP by prodigious 18 year old Belgium based producer Phase – an artist whom they first unearthed and exhibited last summer with the vibey, liquid roller pairing of Ways Of Thought/No Doubt – a record which caused quite a stir when it was first released.

Turning up the heat even more, refining and distilling down his production technique and sound into something much more unique and hard hitting, whilst at the same time retaining his original liquid orientated soundscapes, Phase’s new EP combined aspects of rugged, low end experimentation with heady summer vibes. Combining emotional, organic instrumentation with a lovely selection of varied vocal performers – elements that lift the gifted producer out of strictly dancefloor territory into that of real musicianship and song writing – banging, uncluttered beats and downright dutty reese bass work, Phase’s music comes across as a bastard hybrid of epic proportions.

I Mean It returns to his signature liquid vibes uniting sun-soaked Balearic, guitar riddled vibes, with the downright sexy yet pining, longing vocals of frequent collaborator LaMeduza, creating a lush, sensual peak time Ibiza referencing number to watch the setting sun go down too.

Rounding out the release, on the digital format, "Dreams" see East teaming up with his Russian mates "Traffic" and "Noel", along with "Messy MC". The intro draws you in, with its ticking beat and floating atmospherics, as Messy explains what dreams are made of. From then on, it’s all about the beats, as the producers run their ideas and thoughts into the mix, bringing out what can only be described as a monster. This one’ll have you nodding all the way through 2015.

"Homeground" is more of typical affair for the pairing. It’s a deep & hard stepper in kind of a Hazard way but still having its own identity.

In this day and age vinyl releases are getting rare in drum & bass but still we at Demand cherish them. Requisites our brand new 6 part 33 rpm series is an ode to the vinyl culture. Every release symbolizes one particular requisite that you'd evidently need to rock the so called black gold. Here served by, what else could it be, a butler we start of with the headphones...

Musically that includes the ever magnificent Phil Tangent who contributes "Misgivings", a roller that effortlessly switches from euphoria to dark tones. The legend Big Bud in collaboration with Austria's finest RoyGreen & Protone and #Dual on "Gospodi". A smooth liquid outing that we just fell in love. The ever surprising EastColors with "Naked Skin" that brings in low slung tempo with the vocal wonder Tiiu and last but not least Demand's own nurtured talent Phase who rounds of the first part with "Abundance". As the name suggests it is absolutely rich in form of vibes!

The statement that is pressed on the vinyl label couldn't be more clear... "listen to it" and we're sure you'll fall in love."

Demand selects new music. This time with label stalwart Andy Pain from St. Petersburg on part #4. The "Emptiness EP" is a representation of Andrey Starodubtsev's music from the last 2 years. It's techy goodness from one of the brightest talents from the eastern hemisphere. It's hard, dark but never to heavy. Collaborations with good friend Segment (previously known as Z Connection) and Criba from Finland bring complete different vibes to the table. What else is left to say: Enjoy the music!

Selects returns with their sixth instalment on Demand Records, this time with homegrown music. All artists are either parts or complete Swiss. Still, it's safe to say that this is an all swiss product and we're humbled and proud to be able to offer you great music from all these amazing producers from our home country.
First off Qbig & Zenith B. No need for any introduction. They have been at the forefront of swiss Drum & Bass in the last year or two and 'Tanoke' underlines that! Dayni and Kenobi are stalwarts of the swiss drum & bass scene. Both have been active for almost 2 decades and deliver a furious virus esque roller with 'One Eyed Jack', while the brothers Yves & Simon, who form Konfront.Audio, treat us with some tech in 'Wrapped Up' which switches effortlessly from soothing to dirt. To round off we serve you 'Shunyata' by Subsequence a chilled & deep outing by the Zurich native. Forget cowbells and chocolate, this is the real deal!

One of the most exciting things happening right now in the Drum & Bass scene is the talent that goes by the name of 'SubMarine'. Those following Selects have already encountered the name and we're very chuffed to see the return of the man with his 'Shamane EP' which highlights the great variety in his music. From the tribal 'Shamane' to the cinematic 'Backshift' the cologne based producer knows exactly what he's doing behind the buttons and offers us four killer cuts for your listening pleasure. What else is left to say: Enjoy the music!

After releasing 'The Truth' in 2013 on Drum & Bass on Demand 2 and the 'Control EP' in 2014 it's our pleasure to have one of the finest trios in Drum & Bass return to Demand in 2018. The Belgian outfit has always been drawn to the deeper and darker side of Drum & Bass and this latest single is no different. 'The Sewers' is a minimalistic horror driven, half step nodder that kicks your gut, while 'Backlash's bassline is pounding through the rolling breaks like a car drive at 200 km/h. Nobody else quiet does it like them and they're doing it with style. An intensive ride we have greatly missed in our catalogue lately. Welcome back guys!

https://www.fanlink.to/confined-remixes

It's been a while, hope you're all well! After taking a little break with the label we've decided to go back memory lane, digging out one of our favourites and let some people play around with. Case in point Wingz - Confined got the remix treatment by no one other than InsideInfo and oh boy does he deliver! Minimal tech vibes at best. But it doesn't stop there! After their latest 140 bpm release on Artikal we had to get Mystic State to remix this track and it turns out it wasn't that bad of an idea. The Bristol duo delivers a stomping 140 remix! Coming back to the 170 and last but certainly not least competition winner Solace offers another twist on the original with his rolling, deep & brooding style. 3 different takes which will equally shatter your sub!
