Gremlinz & Jesta present their long-awaited debut album on Metalheadz.

Although the music itself spans only the last few years, it would be sufficient to say that this album is the culmination of almost 2 decades of work. So much history in one project, this is, without doubt, Gremlinz & Jesta’s biggest and finest triumph.

First meeting as teenagers in the multicultural streets of Toronto, the duo were both already well exposed to the world of raving and jungle music in particular. It wasn’t until years later however, following Jesta’s slight hiatus, that they would hook back up and form what would eventually become an alias at the very heart of Metalheadz.

Their first appearance on the label as Gremlinz & Jesta wouldn’t come until 2018 but it wasn’t long before talk of an album gathered pace. Prior to then they had been meeting at a staple Chinese restaurant, Lee Garden, in downtown Toronto where they would discuss not only music and writing ideas but also life. The spot became a permanent fixture in their calendar - following its closure in 2017, the pair affectionately became known as ‘The Lee Garden Historical Preservation Society’ as a way to keep those special days alive. It’s from that fondly remembered and much missed period in their lives that the album justly takes its name.

The music itself is prime rufige throughout, opening with the desolate wasteland that is ‘The Lost’ before hurtling into headline tracks such as the ravenous ‘Destro’ and the pitch-black setting of ‘Ice Squirrels’.

Inspired by 90s trip-hop, ‘Vermin’ is the only piece to include a vocalist in Ukrainian born flowanastasia, with her haunting rendition being a standout feature on the album, Further musical influences are found in ‘Andromeda’ where the black jazz inspiration is strong, and ‘Into Void’ which expertly realigns the vibes of an early 2000s stepper. Refusing to compromise on quality at any point ‘The Scarlet Gospels’ is another offering that sees the duo experiment with themes of horror, with plenty more to discover across the 13 tracks.

As the album progresses Gremlinz & Jesta’s intentions are clear. They always set out to create a journey, one with both ups and downs, from feeling lost at the outset to covering rage and peace and then back to fury and serenity. An album for the ages and one we’re proud to house on Metalheadz.

Gremlinz & Jesta - Into Void

What started as an experiment, born in the stillness of the early months of 2020, Metalheadz and SB81 are proud to present 'B292'.

The largest body of music ever released by Metalheadz, 'B292' is made up of 29 tracks across 2 defined parts with a strong emphasis on old skool influences. It's SB81's experiences as a youth that give him a real understanding of this era, something that cannot be replicated and where authenticity always stands tall. 

Beginning as a small batch of tracks it wasn't long before Goldie encouraged SB81 to explore the idea of an album, and via several trips around Low Hill in Wolverhampton (where SB81 lived until the age of 30), it was here where the nostalgia and drive took hold for good. 

SB81 calls this project a 'pre-1994 Metalheadz sound', and although no 29-track album deserves such a brief description it does seem so fitting - even more so with a huge amount of respect and admiration for labels such as Reinforced, Production House and Moving Shadow embodied throughout. 

Make no mistake, this is in no way purely an album that tries to recreate the old. The music at its core remains as cutting edge as ever with a fresh on the ears feel and a rave-ready approach. 

SB81's 'B292' releases in full on 31st May 2024, including a 4x coloured vinyl package, bespoke full colour sleeve designed by the incredibly talent EPOD and a bonus box set available exclusively via the Metalheadz website and Bandcamp.

SB81 - I Can't Explain

Eschaton teams up with the extraordinary Lunanescence to give Omni fans a treat for the 400th EP on the label. The title track Lattice of Stars begins the journey with crisp beats and otherworldly jazz notes as it ascends to a futuristic time and space. Chimera keeps the futuristic crisp drums and evolves more space-age funk elements and cosmic strings as it floats off into the deeper reaches of space. Artificial Dreams follows with an ethereal closed eye journey through drifting arpeggios, frenetic drums and an evolution of visionary synths. The EP ends with Eschaton's homage to the early Acid House days as Electro-inspired drums merge delicately with an endless array of dreamy pads & melodics. We hope you've enjoyed the journey to get to the 400th EP as we have plenty more in store very soon.

K3Bee makes a welcome return with a new EP of his hybrid jungle beats. You never quite know what to expect when you press play on a K3Bee EP and this is no exception. The opener Cold hits the listener with oldskool pads and an orchestra of breaks. Rotate keeps the oldskool inspiration with progressive breakbeats, summery pads and techno-inspired stabs. Rfair changes the style with more rolling evolving beats and lo-fi tinges of jazz. The title track 'Rhythm Trip' bounces around your speakers with stuttering breaks, thumping bass stabs and ominous pads. The final track 'Out There' is another rolling affair with stepping beats and lo-fi melodics to bring this EP of mid 90's inspired jungle rhythms to a close.

INK & Cymatix feat. Ayah Marar - Into The Darkness/ Nightcrawlers - ARX088 

In this dynamic collaboration, the Architecture Recordings family have reunited and teamed up with the iconic Ayah Marar who has been lighting up stages around the world with her powerful and emotive vocal performances. 'Into The Darkness' is a fusion of Ayah's soulful and commanding vocals aligned with forward thinking production from INK & Cymatix, which creates a vibrant and innovative soundscape.

The track blends rich, dark atmospheric beats with deep pulsating basslines and Ayah's raw passionate vocal style. Marked by futuristic synths, intricate percussive rhythms, and an expertly crafted sound texture the melodies interweave seamlessly with Ayah's vocal prowess. Together the ARX kru craft an evocative sound that captures both the energy of cutting-edge club music and the introspective depth of electronic soul. 

The production cleverly builds energy over time, creating anticipation before releasing into more energetic sections and emotionally-charged moments, underscoring the emotional arc of Ayah's lyrics. The blend of dark and moody musicality allows for moments of tension and release, giving the track a dynamic flow. 

This collaboration isn't just a meeting of talents, but a fusion of worlds. It bridges the realms of underground electronic music with mainstream accessibility, appealing to fans of both avant-garde music and more commercial, chart-driven sounds. It creates a space where genres blend together without constraint, allowing for experimentation while still maintaining strong hooks and memorable moments.

This project is poised to make waves in both underground and mainstream circles, offering something unique to the evolving soundscape of electronic music. Ayah Marar's established fanbase will likely be drawn to the collaboration because of her soulful delivery and signature style, while INK & Cymatix's production will appeal to fans of experimental and cutting-edge breakbeats.  The track doesn't just fit into one genre, but breaks boundaries and challenges listeners' expectations, making it a standout piece.

Nightcrawlers extends this concept, and highlights the same creativity and craftsmanship. It merges innovative production and vibes, resulting in a track that is not only sonically rich but also deeply engaging. This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and artistic chemistry, showcasing a fresh, forward-thinking sound that is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners.
