Vilnius based Eternia Music is keeping its status among the most renowned darksters in the world of alternative drum & bass. Their release No. 29 hails from Germany via Manchester - it is a collaboration between Contact Lost and Turrican, the boss of Urban Poetry label, stepping into Eternia's catalogues with a doomy and gloomy cut "End of Days", which is accompanied by a nostalgia-driven remix from Synkro. 

When you name a tune "End of Days", you are under big pressure of making it live up to its title, so the music should sound epic and pitch black, shouldn't it? Believe us or not, but the duo, freshly formed of Contact Lost and Turrican, who are not some rookies on the scene, completed the task with utmost precision. The organic drums meet apocalyptic depths, while fierce'n'heavy sub-bass drives this halfstep slowburner into an ode to the final destruction. "Jetzt aber nicht", as Franz Kafka once said - that's the feeling one gets while listening to this gem. 

Side B of this enigmatic release brings another well anticipated debut. The same subject of the world's ending is revisited by the man responsible for some of the most beautiful and dreamy sounds in abstract dnb - Synkro steps in with his vision and does not fail. He's clearly loving those pads and bass and it helped him deliver a remix, which is a beatless piece of 170bpm music, which is a rarity on our label, so we're really happy to release it. If you lack some proper opening tune for you sets, don't miss this one.
