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
