Tantrum Desire – Diversified LP - Pre-order now on iTunes and receive "Oblivion" & Reach & "Get On It' Instantly.. Free Grat downloads each week: smarturl.it/TECH006CD 
Beatport: bit.ly/TantrumDesireOblivion
Released: Sun 28th June 2015

Let's not beat around the bush. Anyone who knows anything knows that this album is going to be big. It's absolutely clear Jay and Dev have put the graft in over the last decade to claim and maintain their D&B-elite status. For one thing, production mastermind Jay has put in the studio hours to hone that distinctive, arena-sized Tantrum Desire sound. And, as DJs, they've proven their ability to take that sound into the real world and make it connect with the biggest crowds bass-heavy music has to offer. There are a handful of acts that can simultaneously kill it in the underground and the mainstream, and we're about to find out why Tantrum Desire is one of them.

So, time to break this down.

Obviously, this album contains more than its fair share of showstopping anthems. “Oblivion”, for example, seduces us with the uplifting innocence of Solah's vocal style, before moving the sound effortlessly from naïve purity to gritty toughness. This, all woven together with stomping bass, jungle drum fills and a stripped-back piano-led breakdown, means that it's going to connect with listeners' emotions as much as ravers' dancing shoes. Some tunes, like the Laura Bayston-laced “Underground” and the syncopated madness of “Genesis”, have already been making waves for a while among those who keep their finger on the pulse. And the aggressively percussive US-influenced “Pump” is currently a key weapon of choice among DJs when it's time to turn up the hype levels.

Then there are a couple of almighty supergroup collaborations. For one, Drumsound and Bassline Smith join the party on “I Need You Here”. This takes the big-room build-up to Empire State proportions. Gentle synths build to a soaring sing-along vocal hook, which in turn give way to huge polyphonic chords. Then the drop is a virtuoso display of drum programming, with a heavy bed of half-speed kicks and snares supporting subtly-switched up samples. But then just when you think you've reached the limit of what the track has to offer, there's a breakdown and another build into a full-speed, full-power drop that's going to hit like a tactical nuke in any rave. Matrix and Futurebound pass through too, to bless “The Shadows” with their skills. Elegant harmonies melt into a sinister dialogue sample and the dark funk of a pizzicato riff in the low registers. The track builds into straight up modernist techstep, taking the classic paradigm and applying contemporary sensibilities of energy control.

But this album isn't all about the big ticket items. It's not just a collection of singles, but a cohesive vision, a journey mapped by a pair of DJs and producers immersed in the music. This is made clear right from the beginning, with the drumless title track setting out the template of movement between vibes and styles. Delving deep, there's “Goddess of Love”, with its unapologetically constant level of tension, reiterated and reinforced by ever-changing sample-manipulation. And there's “Back for Love”, featuring Julie Gordon and Smokesta, an almost lo-fi excursion, which takes tropes from trip-hop and the Bristol Sound to create something that's sure to strike a chord with old skool junglists.

Let's be clear, though. These are just some of the things “Diversified” has to offer. There are sixteen tracks here which, together, crystallise the multiple, complex layers of Tantrum Desire's take on bass-led electronic dance music in 2015. The joy for DJs, ravers and listeners alike is going to be discovering those layers for themselves. So go discover.

Myro & Bar9 - Take Me Up (Tantrum Desire Remix)

Preorder: http://bit.ly/HauntedSpaces Beatport Excl. 9th Oct

Every time you think you've pinned down what Document One do, they show off one more facet to their style and confound your expectations. Since they signed to Technique Recordings, they've hit raves, airwaves, and rarefied DnB chart altitude with music influenced by all kinds of source material. Jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, and techno have all been blended into something that could almost be neurofunk, but has a character all of its own.

We're soon going to be bearing witness to Document One's most expansive project to date, a five track EP to which “Haunted Spaces” is the title piece. And, if this sample is anything to go by, we're in for something dangerous.

As the bass plucks and psychotic monologue rap of the intro set the tone, it's clear that, along with that familiar laid-back jazzy Doc One vibe, there's an edge of darkness too. And then the drop takes us down the rabbit-hole even further.

A warped hybrid bassline, part natural, part machine, leads the way, while sharp lashes of drum keep things rolling. It's an irresistible funk-infused groove, but that shadow of tech paranoia is never far away. When the breakdown brings back that almost horrorcore verse, that feeling is confirmed and cemented.

This is Document One pushing the boundaries of the sound they've established for themselves. It's still aimed directly at the dancefloor, but has a more evil glint in its eye than you might be expecting. If this is the type of thing we can expect from the rest of the EP, we'd better brace for impact. It's going to be an intense ride.

DJ Harmony / Tim Reaper / Devnull  - BTTO Radio November 26th 2017

Killa Dubz, a label known for it’s brash, unfiltered jungle music is back once again with a non stop supply of real music for the underground. This time taking onboard Veak and his ‘Born In The Jungle’ EP. Expect a ton of hard hitting Amen beats and bass as this Serial Killaz offshoot sends fe de hacksaw.

The EP’s title track ‘Born In The Jungle’ sets the tone firmly and cranks up the roughneck dial to 11. Combining an onslaught of metallic vocal loops and risers, this is Amen devastation at its finest and will no doubt fit right at home at your next squat party or warehouse rave.

‘Coca Cola Bottle Shape’ links some very known lyrics with ‘94 breakbeat flavours, mixes it all together and outputs a very distinctive riddim that screams nothing short of a jungle anthem for 2017. One for the ladies crew!

Talking of anthem, just wait for ‘Shadow’ to unleash! A total war tune filled with more snare rolls than a 60 minute set from Grooverider in ‘93. The beat programming on this tune is certainly something else.

Finishing the EP with ‘Veak and Vini Selecta’, a somewhat self titled tune, once again aimed at the dancefloor. Amens, Amens and more Amens all chucked together at various pitches alongside that deep sublow bass which sends warning shots left, right and centre.

Veak has really raised the bar for proper jungle production with not a jolly, bouncy breakbeat in sight. Rough, rugged and raw from start to finish.
