VARIOUS ARTISTS - ‘Audio presents RAMlife Drum & Bass’
RAM RECORDS - RELEASED 22nd February 

Pre-order RAMLife and get Audio -  Foodchain now - http://po.st/AudioRAMLifeiT

2014 stands as a defining moment for the RAM Records imprint. Not only did it announce the pivotal signing of artists like Audio, Teddy Killerz and Bensley but they also oversaw the birth of compilation series RAMLife hosted by Loadstar. Even in its first form, it contained nearly every essential release the last twelve months had to offer. 

But this year, RAMLife is taking you into deeper and murkier dimensions. Having already flexed his production muscle on the ricocheting, four-track ‘Nil by Mouth’ EP, as well as his first visual debut in the music video for ‘Heads Up’, it’s now time for Audio to cut open and expose his musical psyche. 

Including some of the most aggressive, technically adept and prominent artists the genre has to offer, including Bad Company, Optiv & BTK and Noisia to name a few, no stone goes unturned for the album’s entirety. Audio also throws bass-fuelled bullets in the form of exclusives, with explosive VIPs that have yet to be released. 

The brand new cut ‘Foodchain’ from Audio sets a theme which is prevalent throughout all 27 tracks. Uncompromising yet diligently crafted, it leads you into a freight train of musicality which holds you hostage from start to finish. Zipping through to the mechanical composition of Mefjus’ ‘Brainwork’, all the way back to Spor’s heavy-hitting ‘Bullet Time’ remix; this is a no holds barred exploration of the genre’s darker side.  

But what can you expect from the man who garners such an explosive reputation across the club circuit? Audio brings his live personality into the whole album and accompanying mix; one that doesn't let you pause for breath. They're a collection of tracks that'll leave an atomic bomb sized impression inside the community, which further solidifies his reputation as an ever- growing, unstoppable goliath.

Drum & bass stalwarts Black Sun Empire are to follow up a trio of recent EPs from The Upbeats, Neonlight and Pythius with the release of ‘Until The World Ends’ - a five-track, collaborative EP with NZ duo State Of Mind. To be released on January 26th via their genre-defining Blackout imprint, it marks an exciting start to 2015.

Lead track ‘Ego’ immediately sets the tone with growling bass lines and punchy synth-stabs that underpin dark, techy atmospherics and vocal loops.

Second track ‘Until The World Ends’ proves once again both acts’ enduring versatility - kicking off with a bass-heavy dubstep tones complimented by vocal duties from State Of Mind’s fellow New Zealander PNC, before

switching to a manic, intelligently structured groove for the remainder.

‘Bad’ opens with progressive percussion and softly-worked synths that move euphorically to a pounding drum break, whilst fourth track ‘Jack Nicholson’, featuring an imitable sample of the man himself, is a bass-fuelled shockwave of a track. Final track.

‘Moonbox’ closes the EP in true Blackout fashion, with signature frenetic beats and firing drums rounding off proceedings in style.

Black Sun Empire have built a reputation for curating their own brand of dark, neurofunk-inspired drum & bass over the past 12 months and this collaboration with long term accomplices State Of Mind - whom released their latest album ‘Eat The Rich’ via the label earlier this year - feeds into the hype surrounding Blackout as the label looks ahead to 2015.

Tracklist: 
01 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind feat. PNC - Until The World Ends 
02 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Bad 
03 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Ego 
04 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Jack Nicholson 
05 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Moonbox

Evol Intent-Middle Of The Night(Jutta Remix)

Most folks know me as "The Rabbi" or Rabbi Eric. I've been involved in the music biz from about the age of 14, when I made my first mix. I've DJ'ed here & also when I was stationed in Germany. I made the transition from the club scene to the RAVE scene in the mid-90's. Early on in that period, a youngster by the name DJ FiXXX (waz up, Jeff?) tagged me with the name Rabbi when he found out that I was studying to become one.... still workin' on dat... I met a bunch of really good folks, promoters and DJ's, which motivated me even more to become a promoter/producer. Later, I met who I thought was the love of my life & got married... too bad she had other plans. ;) Eventually, I got 'high-jacked on the highway' (actually @ the Katy Mills Mall), and the State held me hostage from 8-30-02 until 5-7-12! But, now I'm back on the scene and doing music again. The latest update to this field would be my engagement to tha one known as Havok & our recently born son....a true Junglist from birth! Bless up, y'all!
