@diodeofficial

One thing that has truly pleased us as a label is not only welcoming new talented artists to the label but also working alongside who we consider our peers, some of the artists we grew up listening to in the honeymoon years for us of DNB and our all time favourites too.

Add to this a sprinkling of foreign exchange and being able to  work with talented artists / peers from across the globe and you have a very happy record label indeed.

If you have been living under a rock for the past 10+ years or so then you may not have come across the Puerto Rican born producer situated in the U.S of A.

We are very proud to announce our collaboration as a label and artist with none other than Diode. 

A vast catalogue of work has drenched the DNB world for quite some time now and it was only fitting we brought the artist to the attention of our labels followers as his direction pretty much lines up with ours and our ethos which is truly to cover the entire spectrum of Drum and bass.

We are very proud of this one and excited to collaborate for the future. as we introduce the Interruption EP.

1/ “Don't Interrupt Me”

A true favourite of ours this year and a track that has seen
some heavy exposure through some of the larger artists in DNB.

Starting off in Diodes signature Funk sounds and chords, we are quickly led into a remarkable build of audio sonics that place you on the edge of your seat.

Key changes and whirling rises lend themselves to the robotic voices which take a switch as we drop a Jungle Techno snippet before a nan slapping Neurofunk drop.

This one is relentless as we switch basslines and keys throughout until a crescendo of bass and beats.

2/ “Racing”

Foot on the peddle. Let's go. Vin Diesel would be proud of this one. as we welcome “Racing” into the Dirtbox family.

A slapper of A neurofunk drop with some awesome melodic swishes.

This one is a Virus-esque Chugger of grade A prime classic sounds accompanied by gated synths and up to date bass synthesis. 

An awesome one for the middle of the set at prime time.

3/ “In Silence” 

We close out the EP on a high note. A true one, Piano’s, sweeps and vocals propulse us into an epic percussive lead breakdown, Anthemic and beautiful this one ticks all the boxes.

A true, and beautiful way to end the EP with Diode flexing his production muscle and showing his range, Big time Interruption EP is out July 29th exclusively on Beatport & Spotify then everywhere else 2 weeks after

Diode- Racing- Dirtbox Recordings- 2024

@GlitchCity

An exciting day at the office for Dirtbox as we finally present the full EP from Glitch CIty after his widely successful DNB single during the summer in the lead up to this mammoth 4 tracker.

Sam spreads his wings like a great American Eagle for this one with a heavy focus on the beautiful sounds of Jump Up DNB. with his own added extra sauce.

A fantastic edition to the label to close out the summer period and one that is turning heads wherever it gets played.

1/ “Down The Rabbit Hole”
An intro laden with `Walt Disney` sound effects drop us right into the rabbit hole on this one, some classic 60s vocal snippets from those classics take care of the build until we drop into a filthy array of distorted percussion and heavy warpy basses.

Alice in Wonderland was obviously a ket head.

This track proves it.

2/ “Land Of The Noble”

Our title track drops in 2nd on the EP and brings with it a very egyptian feel to the soundscape of this one, More vocals and warpy synth work build this one to a heavy as nails drop fit for a set from the man Dj Hazard.

The bassline on this one is a grumbler, and will shake your rib cage to its core when heard on the right sound system. We implore you to turn those speakers up when playing this one.

3/ “Tuff Nutts”

No we’re not talking squirrel food that's really hard to get open.

This one refers to the cajones of the DJ. 

Have you got the  venables to drop this one. It's a hard mudder fudder with a lot of inspiration from some classic Jump Up tracks over the past 2 decades.

Plenty of cool samples to spot in this one for the spotters out there, And an overall pleaser of every dancefloor this one  touches.

4/ “Hynotize”

This one has been getting some seriously good feedback. 

It's been played worldwide and a huge finish to the first Dirtbox EP from Sam.

You`ll recognise the samples, vocals and synth instantly if you are a child of the 90s.

I'd be inclined to say any Hip-hop fan will dig what's been done here and twisted into a plethora of sword wielding samples and heavy rumbling bass to shake your guy to pieces.

Glitch City’s Wonderland EP Drops September 13th on Dirtbox Recordings

Hynotize

Glitch City- Hypnotize- Dirtbox Recordings- 2024

We are delighted to announce the final drop of the year
from the Tape Pack Project's 1 & 2.

Throughout 2024 we have seen the first 2 series of the project drop a single track on the 1st of every month which is to be ongoing for a total of 12 months.

Both artists The Fi5th and Shayper have come with the goods delighting us with an onslaught of DNB from across the spectrum, specialising in their creative sub-genres.

Both artists are now on the brink of the final piece of this puzzle where both will land as an album and a final yet to be heard track on both series (V12) which will be a collaboration from both artists.

Procedure V9-11 and Iteration V9-11 are included in this mail out totalling a massive 6 tracks that are due to be dropped between September 1st and November 1st.

Please make sure you are leaving some great feedback for this as this has been a huge project for both artists who have worked tirelessly to get this music out in time, whilst its label `Dirtbox Recordings` has fulfilled everything it could possibly do and more to help get this to the forefront of the DSP platforms which in turn have been supporting it year wide.

Additionally for their hard work both artists are incorporating a much larger revenue cut from this release to normal releases due to the sheer output this has asked of them. 

Keep an eye out for the final albums at the end of the and the as yet to be heard V12 of the series landing December 1st for both Projects..

@apomdnb

Kickstarting our 2024 Autumn schedule we bring back one of our most popular series on the label. The one and only Rock N Rollerz.

The aim of this series is to bring the very best of those dutty DNB rollers and amen ridden Jungle tracks to the masses, and that is exactly what we have been doing with Entropy & Skandal dropping the first on the series early in 2024.

Expect these EP’s to come thick and fast right now as we have a plethora of music to drop under this series.

Wasting no time we invite one of the newest, and most talented artists in drum and bass, who is making some serious waves.

We discovered Sam aka APOM on another label `Subdue` recently and knew we had to hit him up to work alongside.

APOM is currently in quite high demand but by the end of summer we managed to nab these two custom made bangers for the series, and we are sure you will not be disappointed.

1/ APOM - “Stank”

With a name like Stank it's very easy to come to the conclusion that this has `Rock n Rollerz` written all over it.

We are not messing about on this one, And neither is Apom, a crunchy backdoor kicker if we ever heard one that will be turning gun fingers into anti tank missile fists.

Some eerie chords mixed in with the Stank vocal and of course simmering Bassline make up a huge portion of this track but its that absolutely stanky stab and rolling drop that makes the track a true contender for biggest banger of the Autumn club period.

2/ APOM - “Amped”

Amped brings a much more techier feel. but with a bunch of naughty synth work and one of the best fight promos ever, from Mike Tyson “I'll eat your children”

A trippy one this, ripping your heart from your chest as this one will make you sway in and out of those dance floor steps you’re planning on taking.

Rock N Rollerz 2 by APOM lands October 18th
