All conquering UK rap crew Foreign Beggars, who recently teamed up once more with long time collaborator Alix Perez on their Modus EP, call on another of drum & bass's biggest talents to give the EP's title track a 170 refix. Here at Data Transmission we bring you the exclusive premiere of Calyx & Teebee's Modus remix. Retaining the minimal nature of the hip hop original, the half time intro draws you in: Metropolis spits his fire bars before it twists and switches into a techy, bass driven beast. Orifice Vulgatron handles the breakdown, his rapid fire delivery amping you up for round two with more ice cold percussion edits.

Soul In Motion head honcho Need For Mirrors returns to V Recordings with a brand new EP, and as always the bar is raised high. Anyone who has listened to Need For Mirrors before will know that this is one producer you can rely on to bucks the trends and make music which is not only true to himself, but also the original Drum & Bass blueprint. The Wood & Water EP is certainly no exception! 

Whilst always giving a nod to the pioneers who have come before, Need For Mirrors has carved out his own space within D&B and made it uniquely his own. Combining dubbed out rollers, with harder edged tracks, and certainly no stranger to a big bassline, NFM guides the listener on a journey through his 4 track collection. Always experimenting, but always with one eye on the dancefloor.

Of course if you want to check out this producer and his music in his natural environment, pushing boundaries and making people move their feet, then a trip to London's Soul In Motion will make everything crystal clear.

In the past 5 years Need For Mirrors is a name that has positioned itself among the greats of modern Drum & Bass, whose relentless output of high-quality and original material has secured releases on the scene’s most prestigious labels including V Recordings, Metalheadz, Symmetry, Playaz, Spearhead, Hospital, Dispatch Recordings and more.

Skeptical & Alix Perez- Without A Trace [Noisia Radio Premiere]

Released 20th February 2017.

Drum & Bass has always been an interesting phenomenon in Poland. Although not often attributed as being one of its primary bases in Europe, it’s produced some of the most exciting talent to come forward across the scene. And one of these artists is 20 years old 174bpm stalwart Adrian Rybka, who also goes by his pseudonym Satl. Having had regular support from the likes of heavyweight DJs Fabio & Grooverider, Friction, LTJ Bukem, Artifical Intelligence and DJ Marky, he’s become a staple on the European club circuit.

Having already had releases on the likes of Innerground, SGN:LTD, Integral and more, ‘From Time’ sees him move onto the Soul Trader imprint. Alongside collaborator Harland, his first offering ‘Alone’ takes you into sub-terranean levels, moving away from any of the more commercial sounds which have littered drum & bass and instead provides an intimidating soundscape. If this track is anything to go by, neither Satl nor Harland are prepared to wind down their production standard and instead go in all guns blazing, with smashing kick and a sub bass that ricochets from start to finish.

Satl & Harland - Alone

Spurring into action already this year, our Dispatch LTD imprint continues in the ethos for supporting upcoming talent, as Leeds based Cruk marks his debut on Dispatch, with the ‘Bad Faith EP’. 

Cruk comfortably incorporates dark, malignant soundscapes into his music, without losing any of the groove in the mix; ‘The Moment’ is bursting with energy, but harnessed confidently and ‘Bloodlust’ retains its swing right throughout. 

Made up of four tracks in total, the EP identifies as a selection of abrasive beats, with very intricate drum work that cleverly pools contrasting influences, giving each track a distinct identity. 

The drums in ‘Bad Faith’ are constantly developing, at first a futuristic Hybris feel, but adopting an old skool pattern at the same time, whilst ‘Shalebridge Cable’ contains both clean cut elements and raw, breaks focused styles too.

Making his mark with a strong first EP, we are proud to welcome Cruk onto Dispatch with this debut.

SOUNDIA - OBSCURE SCIENCE - [BLACKHILL PRODUCTION] OUT NOW

Emerging from a huge debut album last July on Metalheadz, we are glad to welcome SCAR back to Dispatch, home of their very first release, for some covert carnage on the ‘Veiled Threats EP’.

Striking at the jugular each time without fail, for us, SCAR have set the pace in terms of quality dancefloor music over the past few years, consistently raising the bar with every new release and their return to Dispatch is no exception.

A thoroughbred test for any discerning sound system, the EP hits hard in all the right places, but keeping true to the craft and vibe we love; relentless in its output, but subtly groove focused, with flashes of old skool inspiration sewn throughout.

Making a deadly return to Dispatch, SCAR reassert their prowess in delivering high quality beats primed for the clubs and the duo show no signs of slowing anytime soon.
