Beatport - 05.08.19 & Worldwide - 19.08.19

Amidst a vast lattice of cable & wire, a sole individual worked with inhuman fervour at his craft, bearing forth a constant flow of invention unto the dismal depths of his laboratory. He had sequestered himself here in this catacomb of creation with single-minded purpose, devoted entirely to a code of his own as he endeavoured towards all that had not been done before. Without thought for life or limb he set himself frantically to his craft. Before him, every vial was an opportunity, every electrical surge a moment of bliss, and every elemental synthesis a pathway forwards into the unknown.

For weeks, months, and even years the individual worked at a feverish pace, a hermit within an ever growing den of discarded reagents and the husks of former inventions repurposed for a greater cause. For all of his creations, such time alone had begun to take its toll upon the man, and as it marched on new thoughts came to his mind. “Escape....” came first, “I must show them the way” then came second, bearing upon him with an inescapable force. With his frenzy now turned outwards the inventor burst forth from the doors of his laboratory, clutching a variety of inventions in his grasp. Bathed in the light of the world beyond, the inventor sprinted into the street, shouting of his miracles as his SANITY TRIP drove his feet.

NUKLEAR debuts his first full artist EP on EATBRAIN with SANITY TRIP. Long known as a premiere MC within the neurofunk scene, NUKLEAR has appeared on multiple collaborations across EATBRAIN as well as RAM Records, Virus, and Viper. In bringing together many influences such as the heavy metal sonics of WHIPLASH, SANITY TRIP sees NUKLEAR bring the focus firmly to his own dynamic lyrical abilities across five tracks with an equally diverse lineup of co-conspirators including MINDSCAPE, PYTHIUS, STATE OF MIND, TEDDY KILLERZ, THE CLAMPS, & KRITIX.

Eatbrain088 / Nuklear - Sanity Trip EP

Ahead of the upcoming Critical Sound Room Two takeover on 3rd April, we've been commissioned to stream another taste of yet another Critical exclusive. If you click the soundcloud player below you can hear a whole heap of what the Ivy Lab trio did when they went into the studio to remix Mefjus' 'Blame You.' The track forms part of the cunningly named Mef:Lab EP which will be released exclusively on vinyl and digital this Friday (27th March) through the Critical store and Beatport. The other track on the 12" is yep, you guessed it, Mefjus remixing Ivy Lab and their track 'Sunday Crunk' making a packaged out of a duo of cuts that have reportedly been shelling down the Critical raves since their creation.

They say crime doesn’t pay, but that’s a lie worthy of its own criminal charges. Of course, I don’t mind seeing it perpetuated. It keeps the weak out of the game, and there’s a certain panache to be gained from playing into the stereotype. Cat burglars and the like can have their fancy airs, with all their focus on agility and grace, but me? I like to keep things simple. Someone important once said “speak softly, and carry a big stick,” and I hold to that, though I find a bit of roughness to mine adds to the image. The classic approach is effective, the image of a someone like myself wrapped in shadow, weapon in hand and clad in dark clothes. It’s an act made all the better with audience participation however, so the character you want to play from there is up to you. The stage may be set but the script can go in oh so many directions. I suppose it just means I’m good at what I do, but the disappointing fact is that I rarely even get to use my full kit. A funny thing really, most people just tend to fling their valuables at me when I’m the only one around. A charitable donation on behalf of my excellent performance, perhaps it should be considered, though I find most of these performances to be quite a bore. After all, any good plot needs at least a little tension before its resolution. Some try to run, and that’s at least a slight improvement, but it’s best when they try and fight back, like the two at my feet.

It’s an almost tangible feeling, an aura exuded by those with an excess of both wealth and confidence, an attitude perhaps not dissimilar to my own. After all, they’re often criminal too. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that you don’t get rich without breaking a few bones, whether physically or metaphorically. This is doubly true if you’re young, like these two. Knowing when to lose is a wisdom that comes with age, a wisdom apparently not yet possessed by this pair even amongst their myriad of other possessions. So, when it came time for me to collect, they stood their ground… One even drew a weapon of their own, as if to threaten me! I savoured the moment, for this was the tension I relished. The palpable exhilaration ran through me as we stared down the alley at one another. I struck, rushing forwards and reaping my rewards with two great swings of my club, a shower of their shiny valuables shaken loose for such an excellent performance. In taking a bow, as is customary for any self respecting performer, I collected my due. They crime doesn’t pay, but for those of us who are STONE COLD, perhaps it’s untrue.

EATBRAIN veteran L 33 returns to his home label in truly violent style with the STONE COLD EP, also featuring hard drum and bass pioneer LIMEWAX. With the 5 tracks within, L 33 pushes further towards an evolved version of his sound than ever before, with each slice of audio delivering a unique and sleek tech-fuelled idea designed to slam hard into the dance. Surprising in many ways and exactly as technically refined as one should expect of him, the STONE COLD EP delivers exactly the kind of forward-thinking drum and bass that we crave from both artist and label.

L 33 - Get Down (Eatbrain065)

Our Prospekt series returns for its quinary instalment with another fresh trio of talent, each providing a brace of cutting edge techno.
First up for volume five is DJ Jock. 'Farewell' conjures memories of the early european trance sounds with stark, stirring melodies and relentless drive. Wayfarer is a groovier acid cut that makes a perfect set builder.
Buitrago & Wuillermo Tuff join forces for the seriously sinister 'Grisha' and the equally tough, but more shuffling 'Hedeon' for the middle slice.
The final section of this episode comes from Lowerzone, in the form of the frantic piano stab laden 'With Your Body' and it's synth-driven partner track 'Dopamine'

DJ Jock - Wayfarer

‘Black Clouds’ begins with an ominous sounding intro, one which gradually pulls you into its immersive soundscape and rolls out the carpet among punching drums and rolling percussion. The tempo is suddenly switched and you’re drawn deeper into the mix, as it becomes more and more overpowering. The crescendo comes when the track explodes down its climatic drop and you’re left to be taken along for the ride. Each metallic swathe peddles you into the next; Ephyum isn’t afraid to go full-throttle and this becomes instantly clear with the track’s descent.

The remnants of the great battle lay strewn as shreds across the meadow, the multi-faceted carcass of a climatic moment of a conflict long forgotten. The remains of those who had fought for their respective worthless causes now overshadowed by the bleak visage of fate. Legends spoke of the battle as the only one known to have occured with no victor. Each warrior slain on one side was said to be repaid by the death of his equal on the other, as though the melee was arbitrated by some unnatural force. At the battle’s termination there remained none but the two great leaders of the factions, who continued their personal onslaught through the strength of their intense hatred alone. Amongst the corpses of their compatriots they dueled, equally matched in both skill and fury and finally, equally they fell, each slipping his opponent’s guard in the same instant, as both felt their sword plunge through the other’s heart. The place was twice cursed it was told, once by the unnatural force that had presided over the slaughter, and once by the slaughter itself. Unlike most of their kind, these legends held truth, for this field was the lair of the malevolent AGRESSOR.

The being had lurked there from time immemorial, its existence a relic of a long forgotten age. Condemned to this waste for its timeless aggression, it had lingered on beyond the disappearance of its kind. Its hunger for anguish lured countless warriors to its meadow, their conflict a delectable feast for the spirit unseen. From each fallen fighter was riven its emotion, strengthening the being as it continued to feed. The magnitude of the battle had sated it for some time, and it would slumber again through multiple ages of man until that hunger arose once again… and when it did, the DEATH MEADOW would lure souls afresh.

Agressor Bunx - Acid Mirage (Eatbrain079)

French drum & bass producer The Clamps has become more and more of an identifiable force, with his forthcoming EP on veteran Prolix’s Trendkill Records quickening his pace to the top echelons. The Clamps production has often been an enviable trait, something which the artist has been refining over the past few years; this hasn’t gone unnoticed by the heaviest hitters within drum & bass, which is why he came under the radar of Prolix. And The Clamps fits well within Prolix’s growing arsenal of producers, something which the head honcho has also spent years refining. When it comes to the genre’s darker sounds, Trendkill is a go-to imprint, dominating both charts and DJ sets during its expansion. With a host of main-stay labels already ticked off by Prolix himself, it made sense for him to build a musical hub which highlighted the sounds influencing his own output.

Since the late 90s, The Clamps has spent his time pouring over the intricacies of everything from hard techno to drum & bass. After initially making a name for himself on homegrown label Kosen Production, he’s become more and more of a pivotal figure throughout the wider music circuit. Now having released on imprints such as Invisible, Titan, Eatbrain and Impact Music, his forthcoming ‘I Feel’ EP is a return to form, following the explosion of his ‘The Odyssey’ LP in 2018.

First track ‘No Reality’ creates an intro which is instantly encapsulating with its steppy instrumentals and patches of waif-like samples. Once it drops, through its pounding drum stabs, you’re taken directly into the belly of the best. Title-track ‘I Feel’ is just as chaotic, tearing through with robotic vocal interludes. ‘Mind Exploration’ runs through next, with an old-school reminiscing as you’re yet again released against its manic mechanics. ‘Interaction’ is the final track, foreboding as it begins to wheel you towards its first climatic breakdown. Each punching horn takes you in deeper before its sci-fi atmospherics leave you to its driving ferociousness.

Trendkill Records are back, with help from The Clamps - proving that the next year is titled to be one of their biggest yet.

The intergalactic, supersonic force behind the moniker QO is back with second instance of his 2019 4-tracker and in cahoots with the enemy. The mighty French drum and bass powerhouse - The Clamps - is here to help Qo take down the last remnats of Earth’s futile resistence. Now it’s time for reckoning! The age of men is over, now comes the time of the machine.

Leaving only wasteland in its wake, all memories of peace and beautiful melodies and sunny summer days without a care in the world long forgotten, Krieg, the bastard offspring of these two evil masterminds is here to remind every living soul on Earth about the new world rule, about the war that is being waged on all things breathing and carbon-based, all things peaceful and harmonious and euphonic.

The future is bleak, aggresive, merciless and impersonal and Krieg is the perfect soundtrack for it. Hard times create hard people, people made of wires and series of ones and zeros. The new race risen from the ashes of humans and new art reflecting the new state of all matter. And new music characterized by fast-paced drums, deep, deep bassline attacking from all sides and never letting the listener rest. Taste the sound of the apocalypse, taste Krieg!

Vienna's acclaimed Drum & Bass juggernaut Dorian, arguably one of the scene's most versatile artists these days, is teaming up with fellow Austrian Jump Up Kingpin Skore once again to deliver their follow-up collab to 2017's smash hit "Powertool", which has been sported by the likes of Annix or Hamilton and made huge waves throughout the whole scene.

Doing a reckless time warp to the Eighties, Dorian & Skore are taking it back to those pioneering days of wireframe aesthetics and Arcade gaming glory. Time to enter the grid when drums start pumping, carried by staggering FM bass triplets and iconic Electro Disco sounds, ready to conquer Bitmap Hyper-Reality when the lead theme is sneaking in. Having premiered on Pendulum's One Mix podcast last July, "Retro Driver" is now about to sweep over the masses, so be sure to toggle Auto-Fire on and hit that button.

Lingering on the Flip side, a somewhat darker "Cyberpunk" opens up with a heavy half timing intro, full of dystopian soundscapes and vivid Blade Runner-esque imagery about to be stripped off and blow up as a bone-dry tech stepper, with neck snapping drums and biting bass stabs getting your chaos engines started. Badboy business for sure, brutal deluxe!

Fame and fortune: doesn’t everyone dream of such luxuries in our modern world? Indeed, such lofty positions seem to appear out of thin air to those who are visited by them, gifts from a gilt messenger that fall randomly upon those who do not even ask for it. What? Then, what must I do to receive such a visitation. Is it not enough that I want it? Is it not enough that I crave with every ounce of my being the admiration of all those around me? To be the object of their envious stares? So many waste their stardom, squandering it with their “effort” and “devotion” as though they’ve forgotten that they’re already famous! 

Were I to be in their position, I would certainly not waste away such golden moments with such pointless work. I would sit, not upon a couch but upon a throne, exquisitely decorated with only the finest of materials. There, I would languish in my lavish lifestyle, my every need attended to by the throngs of adoring fans who would celebrate my very existence. It’s a shame really that no one notices how fit I would be for the lifestyle, the parties, the photos, the “doing nothing” all day. I’ve certainly got that last part well practiced. We’re being famous actually a job, I’d be a shoe in for the position. It's not though of course, and all the smart people know that. Some may claim to have worked for it, some may claim to have taken years to reach their status, but I know differently. I know what they say isn't true. I know it's not you that makes fame, but fame that makes you.

AKOV returns to the EATBRAIN pack with his latest EP YOU WANT IT. Following up 2017s Shapeshifter EP on the label, YOU WANT IT is the latest in a high volume of releases from AKOV across further labels such as C4C Recordings, Bad Taste Recordings, and Othercide Records. On display for the first time within the EP are AKOV’s own rap vocals, such as on the titular U WANT IT, which features a rapid fire vocal lead before launching into a chaotically warped bassline signature of the AKOV sound. The twin mixes of BLIND then contrast each other, with the SUN MIX charting melodic course marked by reverberating synth sweeps and a smoother sung vocal melody, while the MOON MIX features an elastic bassline alongside these elements. INTERSTELLAR’s electric sonic elements combine with the vocals of MULTIPLEX for a frantic audio sequence which closes the EP at lightspeed. With YOU WANT IT, AKOV displays his singular sound design & inimitable attitude in tandem with the addition of his own vocal talent for an EP that set to make an impact via the EATBRAIN label.

Two solitary figures circled each other, combatants in an arena borne of their own destructive power. One sat upon the back of an eldritch beast, a terrifying mass of tooth and claw formed of horrendous ritual. It lumbered menacingly, providing a platform for the diminutive sor whom sat atop it. The sorceress’ dainty wings fluttered in anticipation as she watched her challenger, flecking droplets of blood shed in the engagement from their surface with every half beat. By contrast the challenger strode simply upon his own two feet, dwarfed by the size of the beast which faced him with the sorceress upon its back. As he tread his path he observed its every movement with each of his senses, watching, waiting, and anticipating what would come next in equal measure. The air hung still around the duelists, all sound awaiting the next step of their feet with bated breath.

In a moment the beast lunged forwards with a roar, its gaping maw outstretched towards the challenger. The beasts neck extended like that of a serpent, another impossibility created of the magic which coursed through its veins. Forewarned by his vigilant watch, the challenger leapt to the air before the beast’s maw, SEIZING THE MOMENT as he planted a single foot firmly on its nose. Enraged, the beast thrashed at its would be prey, launching the challenger further upwards & backwards. With practiced grace, the challenger took hold of this momentum, holding forth his blade as he arced towards the sorceress upon the beast’s back. With a flourish, the challenger pierced the malevolent heart of the sorceress mere moments after his initial leap, landing back upon the ground below obscured by a cloud of dust. Behind him, the beast shrieked in an increasingly high pitched wail, cut off from the source of eldritch might which had driven it. It shrunk rapidly as its cry grew higher and higher, returning to its original state as a field mouse before quickly scurrying away.

TOBAX returns to EATBRAIN with his first full release in the SEIZED MOMENT EP, bringing his frenetic and fast paced sound to the label with four furious DNB tracks. The titular SEIZED MOMENT features the vocals of HELO alongside a stabbing staccato bassline that is relentless in its out of the gate audio assault. BURNING quickly whips the embers of its opening into an inferno, as the singed edges of its bassline roar with pained power atop a pounding drumbeat. KAPPA’s mysterious introductory synth line bounces atop a breakbeat before dropping into a deeply aggressive metallic rhythm driven by a pulsating two step pattern, whilst INVISIBLE SPIRIT, the EP’s collaboration with BAD DISTRICT, combines its ominous atmosphere with a rushing arpeggiated bass for a crazed & spirited dash to the EP’s finish. With the SEIZED MOMENT EP, TOBAX truly makes the most of his moment, pushing his overwhelmingly aggressive sound to its limits on EATBRAIN.

Two solitary figures circled each other, combatants in an arena borne of their own destructive power. One sat upon the back of an eldritch beast, a terrifying mass of tooth and claw formed of horrendous ritual. It lumbered menacingly, providing a platform for the diminutive sor whom sat atop it. The sorceress’ dainty wings fluttered in anticipation as she watched her challenger, flecking droplets of blood shed in the engagement from their surface with every half beat. By contrast the challenger strode simply upon his own two feet, dwarfed by the size of the beast which faced him with the sorceress upon its back. As he tread his path he observed its every movement with each of his senses, watching, waiting, and anticipating what would come next in equal measure. The air hung still around the duelists, all sound awaiting the next step of their feet with bated breath.

In a moment the beast lunged forwards with a roar, its gaping maw outstretched towards the challenger. The beasts neck extended like that of a serpent, another impossibility created of the magic which coursed through its veins. Forewarned by his vigilant watch, the challenger leapt to the air before the beast’s maw, SEIZING THE MOMENT as he planted a single foot firmly on its nose. Enraged, the beast thrashed at its would be prey, launching the challenger further upwards & backwards. With practiced grace, the challenger took hold of this momentum, holding forth his blade as he arced towards the sorceress upon the beast’s back. With a flourish, the challenger pierced the malevolent heart of the sorceress mere moments after his initial leap, landing back upon the ground below obscured by a cloud of dust. Behind him, the beast shrieked in an increasingly high pitched wail, cut off from the source of eldritch might which had driven it. It shrunk rapidly as its cry grew higher and higher, returning to its original state as a field mouse before quickly scurrying away.

The transmission was tuned expertly, broadcast simultaneously over multiple electromagnetic wavelengths for maximal coverage. Carried within its waves was a code, a message invisible by its very nature since its inception within the minds of its three carnivorous creators. It spread virulently through the unaware population, leaping from cell to cell, being to being, town to town, & city to city with a dancer’s grace. Those who had been exposed knew not that they had, for the transmission lay dormant within their minds. Expertly concealed, it awaited the vibrations of its sister sound, waiting for the waveforms that would set its true purpose in motion.

The second transmission thus came without the subtlety of the first, surging across the landscape in a single sweeping burst. With a lurch and a shudder those affected felt somehow hollow, as though suddenly awakened to a quality that they had not known that they lacked. Anguished and full of sorrow, they suddenly felt compelled to find the transmission’s source. Each driven by the same code, all affected arrived suddenly upon a vast open field, gathering as a flock amidst its grasses. Another transmission rang out, its notes this time sonorous & soothing. At its toll, three great ursine figures seemed to step out of thin air/ Their forms were monstrous and yet those below did not flee, instead standing in awe of what they had seen. To those who stood below the visage before them was divine, wrapt as they were by the TEDDY KILLERZ’s control of the VIBE.

TEDDY KILLERZ return to Eatbrain with the VIBE EP, marking the next chapter in their long standing history of releases on the label with four further ferocious tracks. PUSH THE DUBS struts out of the EP’s opening gate with a focused & minimal atmosphere, which is maintained as even as the sounds within transform into a powerful combination of dark basses and gently gliding pads punctuated by a pulsating siren. BE AFRAID carries a more cinematic atmosphere with its menacing vocal sample, dropping into a maddening mixture of morphing low end frequencies following its titular command. The aptly named BASSLINE focuses on the selfsame element, charting its course upon the path rendered by the track’s roaring bass as it cleaves through the sonic space surrounding it. Finally, VIBE brings with it a decidedly vocal take on the TEDDY KILLERZ sound, giving its introduction over entirely to a vocal hook before smashing out a funk filled groove atop its bouncing four beat rhythm.

Amidst a vast lattice of cable & wire, a sole individual worked with inhuman fervour at his craft, bearing forth a constant flow of invention unto the dismal depths of his laboratory. He had sequestered himself here in this catacomb of creation with single-minded purpose, devoted entirely to a code of his own as he endeavoured towards all that had not been done before. Without thought for life or limb he set himself frantically to his craft. Before him, every vial was an opportunity, every electrical surge a moment of bliss, and every elemental synthesis a pathway forwards into the unknown.

For weeks, months, and even years the individual worked at a feverish pace, a hermit within an ever growing den of discarded reagents and the husks of former inventions repurposed for a greater cause. For all of his creations, such time alone had begun to take its toll upon the man, and as it marched on new thoughts came to his mind. “Escape....” came first, “I must show them the way” then came second, bearing upon him with an inescapable force. With his frenzy now turned outwards the inventor burst forth from the doors of his laboratory, clutching a variety of inventions in his grasp. Bathed in the light of the world beyond, the inventor sprinted into the street, shouting of his miracles as his SANITY TRIP drove his feet.

NUKLEAR debuts his first full artist EP on EATBRAIN with SANITY TRIP. Long known as a premiere MC within the neurofunk scene, NUKLEAR has appeared on multiple collaborations across EATBRAIN as well as RAM Records, Virus, and Viper. In bringing together many influences such as the heavy metal sonics of WHIPLASH, SANITY TRIP sees NUKLEAR bring the focus firmly to his own dynamic lyrical abilities across five tracks with an equally diverse lineup of co-conspirators including MINDSCAPE, PYTHIUS, STATE OF MIND, TEDDY KILLERZ, THE CLAMPS, & KRITIX.
