Rollyax - Density Catch

Next up on Lifestyle we celebrate our past year of releases, and give a sneaky look into the future of the label; it’s the Lifestyle Annual 2018!

This Annual marks an important moment in the life of the label; for the past couple of months we've had our heads down, thinking about what's important to us here at HQ and how to revise our look a bit. This has resulted in a fresh approach to our brand and a more refined visual style moving forward into 2019, we are very excited about it and can't wait to show you what's in store!

We’ve knocked our heads together and picked out 16 choice cuts of prime Lifestyle material from the past year, tunes that have stood out to each of us as the finest our label had to offer in 2018. We tried to keep it reasonably varied, but didn’t do so well, so expect a heavy concentration of that deep dark tech inside, as well as a splattering of other distinct sounds. 

While we have got some of the Lifestyle ‘anthem’ tunes in there, we’ve also been careful to include some for the real heads, tunes that some might have missed first time round, that we reckon deserve excavating and rinsing out. 

As if this wasn’t enough, we’ve also thrown in 10 brand-new tracks, featuring some very close connections! A lot of these tracks are from new voices we’ve just started listening to in the scene, and to make it extra personal, four of the ten tracks come from the team here at the label! Mandie, Jamie, Jono & Mersen (+ Ken) dug in and came out with some tracks of their own for the release, including the first ever release for Combine with ‘Retrograde’, a super-vibey deep liquid banger. This exclusively personal touch is the cream on the cake of this release, which itself crowns what was the best year for our label yet. 

We hope you enjoy this release as much as we enjoyed putting it together. We’re deeply indebted to all the artists we’ve worked with over the past year and beyond, without them making the tunes, and you lot buying the tunes, this label would be nothing, so we’re forever grateful for all your support in 2018, and hope we do you proud this year. We’ve got some big plans in the pipeline that we can’t wait to let you all know about, so make sure to stay connected and informed! From all us here at the team a massive thank you & infinite bigups, here’s to another huge year.

Arxiva - Inside [Premiere]

Everyone loves a banging remix, and here at Lifestyle we’re no different. Historically one of the most fun & exciting projects to put together, we’re back with the third edition of our Lifestyle Remixed series!

It’s a pretty simple recipe: we take bangers, give them to some sick producers, who turn them into further bangers; it’s sick, and the results are always fantastic. Previous editions have seen some god-tier combinations: Zero T & Revaux, Ill Truth & Lockjaw, and Signal & Vorso, to name but a few.

For this edition, we’ve plumbed our catalogue for a mixture of deep cuts and stand-out bangers, and got some of our favourite producers to break them into bits and build them back up again. The tracklist speaks for itself, but it’s got to be heard to be believed! We’ve got Wingz remixing Black Barrel, Revaux taking on dutch newcomer DOt., the mighty Black Barrel reworking the breakout banger ‘Africa’, the boy wonder himself remixing Nami’s iconic ‘Inside ft 'Lo’, Fre4knc taking on an Objectiv banger, as well as Danger’s competition-winning remix of ‘Vermin’. Bossman Animus twists up Revaux & Charli Brix’s ‘Colours’, one of our biggest tunes from 2018 getting a seriously brucked out edit, and Belgian badboys Glÿph take Nami’s ’Shake The Universe’ to truly galactic planes, wicked.

As well as all that, to celebrate ten years as a label, we’ve also reached all the way back to LFS020, and got Synth Ethics & Was A Be to team up, reworking Viscera by Ed:it - updating the banger 7.5 years after it’s initial release! Crafting it into a big, stinky stepper, beautiful stuff.

You can probably imagine the program; it’s all kept pretty dark & dangerous this time round, complex bass design leaks out all over the shop, and there’s not much relenting from start to finish, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Some of these have been doing the rounds a bit, causing absolute carnage whenever we play them out, some of them are brand spanking new, but we think you’ll agree they’re all hurters. It’s been an absolute joy to put together this release, so we hope you like hearing it as much as we’ve liked making it!

More combos than a Mortal Kombat fight, get it down ya!

An oscilloscope is a laboratory instrument commonly used to display and analyse the waveform of electronic signals. In effect, the device draws a graph of the instantaneous signal voltage as a function of time.

For this EP, Brain set out to explore the idea of the physicality of sound, and how comparisons can be drawn with the nature of sound and the wider natural world. Just like the frequency vibrations in a piece of music, every person has a different resonance of life - creating the noise of society with everyone fighting for their space in the frequency spectrum of the world.

The thing that glues us together in this timeline, you can see the waveforms in every expression of life and nature. So the oscilloscope represent that introspected way of thinking, remembering that we are energy and movement at the same time, trying to find direction in our lives crafted by the scientists of our "reality"...
