The Best Of 2023- Dirtbox Recordings- 2024

What a year 2022 was for Dirtbox Recordings. Its been a meteoric rise bringing in a whole host of new talent from across the world.

2023 is no different, In fact we intend to double our output for the year while still ever improving the vast quality of our music we put out.

Starting off the year we have invited a very good friend of ours hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico. ESKR.

ESKR has been pushing the sound of Drum & Bass for over 20 years now, an incredible talent that has been known in recent times for his work on labels such as Boomslang, GTA, Control The Skies & more
recently a huge announcement that he has music forthcoming on the mighty Ram Records.

We are very pleased and honoured to have ESKR onboard with the label and this will be the first of many showings from the stateside native with us here on Dirtbox.

“Lets Do It”
We start the EP off with a bang and Lets Do this opens us up teasing us into what can only be expected to be a huge dancefloor banger about to drop.

Very euphoric and drum ridden in the intro with some nice splashes of that New Mexico studio airing throughout the first drop.

The vocal hits and the cyber sounds are plentiful driving us right through to a euphoric drop and doubling up on the driving bassline.

We are sure you`ll agree this is a stand out release already.

“Mechanisms”
The title track of the EP is another barn burner.

Those highly recognisable ESKR synths start us off but this time a twist on the first track as we hear a huge bassline echo throughout the intro and into the drop.

This one is techy as you like with full on balls to the wall robotic sounds processed to ring around your brain.

“Time At This Point”
We cap this release off with yet another flex of ESKR’s music muscle by showcasing yet another style of DNB within this huge 3 tracker.

If we had to compare this one to a track out there we can only say the similarities can be placed on the mantle of an early Calyx & Teebee release but as with all ESKR’s music it has his own unique stamp and sound that makes it super fresh and head down on the dancefloor with your fist flying.

Dirtbox Recordings is a Birmingham UK, based label focusing on bringing in new producers to the scene with a core-ethic of `anything goes Drum & Bass` from Neurofunk & Tech, Liquid & Rollers

ESKR- Lets Do It- Dirtbox Recordings- 2023

@ComposureDNB
@AvoiderNI

When we said we were going to start off 2023 with a bang. We were not fucking about.

Start as you mean to go on as they say and how we start is big (wey hey) Dirtbox is back with its second release of 2023 already and another chapter written for the Cities EP series.

This time we venture across the pond and into 2 cities that are quite a contrast from each other, with 2 up and coming DNB producers looking to make huge waves in 2023.

“Composure - One For The Massive”
Representing the sound of sunny California right out of one of our most favourite places on the planet,San Diego. 

We introduce to you the one they call Composure.

Known to his friends as Marcelis, he is no newbie when it comes to laying down a huge release, as you`ll see from his already stellar back catalogue,

Composure has bangers already that have done the business on labels such as Audio Overload, Dubstomp 2 Bass & Divination

`One for the massive` is no exception as it showcases Composure's very own sound that has that UK roller feel throughout. It's a true Junglists upfront riddim.

A superb percussion and vocal lead intro following to a drop with the highly loved Heavy Horn lead drop and rap lead this one throughout meaning its a must for any junglist no matter where you are from.

“Avoider - System Leak”
We flip this release now on its head with something totally different by bringing to you the label's first true Tech-Step DnB track.

Avoider hails from the shores of Belfast and has been producing for a little while now and himself has a stack of back catalogue already for you to sink your teeth into.

This one has those Acid type leads filled in with a super techy bass ride. but still presents itself as a moody futuristic roller that would not sound out of place in a `Current Value` set.

One For The Massive

Composure- One For The Massive- Dirtbox Recordings- 2023

@noisesoulsofficial

“The only thing that lay heavier on the souls of men than the dreich surroundings of the base camps on Mount Arakeirkos was the Wilhelm Scream of each and every Beskar pilgrim slain on the granite face reminiscent of their ancestral homes.

Battling the elements and fighters to the summit to gaze on a clock face to behold all of the universe’s beauty for lifetimes to come. The task of man’s immortality abounds.”

-Creative words by R. Knight

Welcome to Dirtbox Recordings `Beskar`

Edinburgh based producer and now DJ, Ruben (Beskar) spent years perfecting his craft before 2021 when an onslaught of music was unleashed from his studio in Scotland.

Releases came thick and fast over last year on labels such as GZ Audio, Deep In The Jungle, Sub-Division & GTA before landing his feet with us here on Dirtbox Recordings.

A catalogue of works in such a short period of time has also started to get certain industry standard bearers take notice too, As Ram Records recently signed a forthcoming EP on their sub label Program for later this year.

You heard it here first.

This brings us to his debut on Dirtbox Recordings and his first solo output of the year. As we intend to release on May 4th this Star Wars inspired 2 tracker covers all bases in dance floor frenzied bangers with that added Disney Magic.

i/ Beskar- “Wilhelm Scream”

Movie buffs will instantly recognise the name of this one as a staple in 80s movies and of course made famous by “A New Hope” from the original Star Wars trilogy.

Wilhelm Scream starts with a haunting upper synth section surrounded by eerie Jedi like chanting-like sounds fill out the intro until we drop into our build of grinding bass and drums to lead us into the blood curdling Wilhelm Scream.

Heavy heavy pan sounds with an almost classic Barcode Records feel drop in taking you by surprise while taking you on the full landscape of Neuro flava’s only Beskar knows how to drop on us.

ii/ Beskar- “Mount Arakeirkos”
At the top of the mountain, a great clock is set into stone, built by the Arakein Monks almost two thousand standard years ago. According to legend, whoever watches each swing of its pendulum for a day will have the lifespan of the universe revealed before his eyes.

Whoever listens to this Drum & bass track by Beskar on Spotify for 3 days will have the lifespan of the universe in the palm of their hands.
We think its doable. And after hearing this onslaught of Drum & bass sonics. I am sure you will agree.

Wilhelm Scream & Mount Arakeirkos is available May 4th 2023

The Safari EP

Carnivorous

Noise Souls- Carnivorous- Dirtbox Recordings- 2023

We are proud to present, easily the biggest project of the labels history, the biggest project of any label we have been involved in full stop.

The Vibe City project.

22 artists, 21 tracks, 4 singles and 2 huge compilation albums spanning release dates across 2 whole months.

And we are finally here.

This project was put together to not only bring to light new artists we were so excited to try and release with but that we wanted to show the range of the label and destroy any miscommunication that it ran as 1 single Drum & Bass Sound.

Dirtbox covers the whole spectrum of our beautiful music genre we all love and we felt it was time to dedicate some time to the Liquid drum & bass followers and bring them something quite special, and rather epic.

After months of set backs, re-dos and “fuck it” days, The project has finally come to life and has reached the time to get it released to the masses, after 6 months of planning through artists, distributors, press and an amazing set of bespoke artwork.

As you`ll see, the artwork represents what we see as a summer spectacular in Drum & Bass. with that added hint of fun turning each artist into their own specific Miami Vibe character for the project.

A big thankyou to everyone in the background working on this monumental project. It truly is something to be proud of by everyone involved.

Now that's enough of the back patting let's get into the music.

Phoenix VIP

TRCD- Phoenix VIP- Dirtbox Recordings

The year 2023 has firmly cemented itself in the annals of Drum & Bass as the year of the drums, and the bass. With events packed, boundaries pushed to their limits and the farthest corners of
soundscapes harnessed to their full potential, heavy is where it's at right now for the ravers.

And we at Dirtbox Recordings are pushing full throttle to the sounds that people love at the moment and the artists that are harnessing those wonderful blips, boops and wooooosh’s.
That leaves us thirsting for more. 

Dirtbox Recordings has torn its way up the ranks this year, with consistently spectacular releases from a wide gamut of full spectrum producers such a Kleu, Beskar, Cyntax, L3MMY DUBZ and more. and also brought us spectacular compilations such as the Vibe City project this summer. It has been so consistent and unique due to the hard working producers behind the music that help it carve its name in stone in the history books of the sound we know and love.

And this is just the start.

With the aforementioned string of success, this release marks the end of 2023 for us- and what better way to top off the year than 2 tracks from the outstanding producer, SHAYPER.

Having made a name for himself on the likes of Ram Records, Serial Killaz, GTA and more, these tracks are an excellently succinct summary of his own signature style. Known for his experimental mangling of soundscapes and sins against the laws of audio engineering, the uncompromising power of music without rules is on full display.

1/ Shayper “Ingrate VIP”
Heading things up here, The original version had instantly sent Harry Shottah into shock, this relick takes the split nature of the original to the next level.

This is actually Shayper’s very first VIP released - and was an experiment in just how far he could push a sound through processing. Supported by the likes of Ed Rush, Calyx & Teebee plus many more, the musicality of the intro draws the listener into a false sense of calm. And then the vocal sample hits - floating into a bass growl that has seen the likes of renowned clubs such as `Printworks and main stage `Boomtown` build to a frenzy.

The drop itself is an essay in energy shifts - staccato drums in counterpoint to the rolling roar and floating vocal before switching to a gigantic apocalyptic reese.

The variation throughout is testament to Shayper’s erratic methods, leaving the listener unable to predict where the track will proceed, and hungry for more. 

2/ Shayper- “Unchained”

Unchained, rolls. And hard. The drums are relentless, evoking that BREAK crispness, and providing the ideal rhythm for a huge and thick industrial environment, assonance reigning supreme and harmonics abused beyond recognition.

Shayper uses an unorthodox comb filter and multi-band compression technique to transform basic patches into a metallic edge throughout, each sound part of the factory in its own unique space and building to a final product that is as engrossing as it is unique.

For Dirtbox & Shayper, this is more than a statement of intent. This is more than a promise of things to come. Its a dance floor war cry, heralding the future of the sound.

Ingrate VIP & Unchained are available exclusively on beatport & spotify December 18th
