Cat No: DEV001

The last 12 months has been incredible for Stranjah with last summer’s Wolfman EP, appearances on Hospital, Technique, and recently a prominent feature on Critical Music’s Binary:Codes LP which has set this Canadian’s drum & bass career in stone.  If his last full-length ‘Visionz of a Future’ was a precursor to a new Stranjah sound, then this debut release on his new imprint Deviant Audio makes certain that the bass prodigy is here to stay.
 
The Don’t Talk EP is a 4-tracker of moody, bass-heavy rollers.  The release is an evolution of Stranjah’s signature combination of throttling basslines and razor-tight drum programming.  It’s like a new and enhanced model of Stranjah for 2017.
 
The title track ‘Don’t Talk’ features Tony Ranks from King of the Dot lyrical fame.  The track opens up with Southern Hip-Hop style synths and Ranks coming in with a fierce lyrical stance.  Then it builds and drops into a super-tight 808 snare roll with a rumbling dub bass, while its vocal-snip lead blends the line between jungle, drum & bass and hip-hop.
  
Opening with ghostly pads, the aptly named ‘Phantom’ builds and switches up with a oldschool break fill only to drop into a gnarly neuro-esque bassline over-top a dancehall rhythm.  The track builds with festival-pleasing atmospherics and a moody steel-pan rhythm taking the listener through a journey in this futuristic banger.

The dark thematic strings in ‘Crusader’ set the tone right as a distorted vocal filters in.  The tune  drops into a quirky percussion-line topped with a half-step beat and a growling wobbling bassline.  The THX-screen-opening inspired riser builds the track up for a pounding second drop.  This one seems to go down well every time it’s been dropped on a system.
 
‘Clutch’ is a dark industrial rufige track featuring a rising name from Berlin, Germany going by Survey.  The dark, thumping style of drum & bass is firmly executed on this collaboration, and you can hear it is a perfect amalgamation of the two teams with its deep dark sonics blended with its retrospective jungle breaks.
 
This is a strong debut for Deviant Audio, with heavy tracks and no filler.  Stay tuned for more bass changers from this promising label set to push the envelope of bass-oriented music with rising talented and established names in the game.

Stranjah feat. Survey - Clutch

SOUTH LONDON SPICE!

Three years since his last solo release on Diffrent, the label boss returns with a spicy serving to match the summer heat!

‘Fajita’ starts off sparse on the drumwork, letting the wiggling, warping bassline flip the dancefloor on its head. That is until Dexta turns up the gas in the second half, dropping in a thumping four-to-the-floor kick and subtle break to see out proceedings with a sizzling energy.

‘Amethyst’ is collaboration based on an original track by Lucent, and finds Dexta at his most Diffrent. Like the soundtrack to a bout of deep-space madness, an off-kilter beat pattern (watch out for this one DJs!) meets sharply oscillating low-end, robotic growls and an eerie, half-heard vocal.

If you’ve heard a Dexta set anytime in the last 12 months, there’s a chance yo

Dexta - Fajita [DIFF037]

Moscow trio Champion Sound debuts on Defrostatica Records with dancehall legend Hawkeye from Kingston for "Ghetto Youth", a hard hitting 85 bpm declaration to own the weekend with a little less conversation. The russian jungle soundsystem crew vibes more casually on "Talk" but the tune can't shake the warning undertone. The B-side features two international remixes: the US vapourwave king Nmesh channels his inner crowd control abilities on "Ghetto Youth" whereas Sun People from Austria rebuilds "Talk" perfectly for an all-out 160 bpm breakbeat twist.

Howitzer fires off two high-powered, 160bpm weapons for Sweetbox, returning to the Diffrent Music sister label for his second solo outing, after the success of last summer’s ‘Blackjacks’.

Lead track ‘Lemonhead’ rains down a fiery combination of militant drumwork and oppressive bass stabs. There’s an atmospheric tension and relentless quality to this one that’ll have ravers hooked from the first stomp of the kick drum to the outro’s last smouldering crackle.

‘Foundry’ takes a similar sound palette but approaches via a more sleuthy route. Sludgy low-end pulses meet a plodding beat, with each mean step chained together by the kind of yawning groove that can’t fail to have shoulders dropping in the dance.

Both tracks will be available digitally from Friday 22nd November, with a super limited run of 10” pressings available at the Clashmouth Drum & Bass Label Market on Saturday 9th November

Kit Curse & Akinsa - Broken Dreams

Buy or stream 'Third Life' here: https://dexta.bandcamp.com/album/third-life-ep

Dexta comes with his most personal work to date: three Moog-fuelled tracks dubbed the ‘Third
Life’ EP.

Diverting away from his recent hypercharged club disruptors, the Diffrent Music founder instead opts for a more measured, and ultimately more hypnotic, approach.

Opener ‘Third Life’ is the most menacing effort, though in the manner of a relentlessly approaching stormfront. All ominous chords and descending scales, it has the air of a classical organ piece, rewired for the 41st century.

‘Swan Filter’ — produced with Iliad (one half of Conduct) — and ‘Letting Go’ offer some respite,via a sleuthy trip-hop joint and some achingly delicate autonomic, respectively.

Together as the ‘Third Life’ EP, they further showcase how Dexta’s versatility and ear of something out of the ordinary are as present in his studio work as they are when A&R-ing.
