EXIT083: Skeptical- Fibonacci Sequence EP

Colours is the best stepper to be released on Utopia so far.  A funky infectious step combines with vocal rudeness to create something simple yet detailed.  Highly DJ friendly yet retains a sophistication not found in many 2 step flavours.

Numbers EP

Alix Perez - The Raven

For our final release of 2016, we are proud to have reached our milestone 100th Dispatch release, marking the occasion with a Various Artists’ compilation featuring some of our favourite producers from the past and present.

Celebrating some of the artists that have moulded the label today, whilst simultaneously showcasing upcoming talent, the album is split into two parts – the ‘Future Blueprint’; including original / newly remixed music from the likes of DLR, Skeptical, Gerra, Stone & Cern and the ‘Past Blueprint’; a selection of our best loved cuts from over the years, with numerous showings from Survival, Break and Zero T, plus classics from A.I., Marcus Intalex and Duo Infernale.

Reflecting on how the label and artists have developed together in time, further names appear on both Parts 1 & 2, including Script (on ‘Sahara’ with Survival and also the classic ‘Set Up The Set’) and label boss Ant TC1, alongside Chris SU and Stress Level first for ‘Waves’ and now, remixing Nymfo’s ‘Coming Through’ with Seattle duo Quadrant & Iris.

With special thanks to all the fans, press and DJs that have supported us over the years, we are thrilled to have made it to a century of releases; with so much good music around today, we look forward to sharing our plans for 2017 and on.

The Chikara Project, the sexiest label you’ve never heard of, is back for it’s second release. After casually strolling in with the debut CKRA001, which picked up huge support across the scene and was universally praised by anyone with a working set of ears, the Chikara crew kicked back and fired out their second effort, the “Viewpoint” EP. 

Following in it’s predecessors path, the second release has been lovingly curated by Mystic State, Elias and Third Degree, this time joined by squad members Ewol, Lucy Kitchen and Mitekiss. With an aim to lazer-beam the purest of vibes into the earholes of the unsuspecting audience, The Chikara Project continues to grow and flourish into a force to be reckoned with. From the opening silky smooth sounds of “Viewpoint”, to the aggressive tech-funk of Elias’s “Kaizen”, through to Mitekiss’s sublime, rolling remix of “Sister”, the second release is looking just as strong as the first. Don’t sleep, join the cult.

Being Addictive Behaviour's last release of 2017 and 25th release in total, it was decided to deliver something a little bit special. Bringing together label regulars Mystic State alongside a host of talent from previous outings for an epic collaboration project and the labels first full artist LP. 'Mystic State Versus' consists of 6 collaborations with artists including Philth, Detail, Xanadu, Data 3, Third Degree and Wingz as well as a cheeky VIP of Mystics last Addictive release and a new solo effort from the Bristol Based duo. Here's what they had to say about the project:

"To quote our style icon Bob Ross, the way this LP came about was a complete happy accident. The Addictive Behaviour chaps thought it would be a good idea for some members of the roster to put their heads together and write some collaborative music. We started off with “Shakedown” with Detail, a producer who has impressed and inspired us since we started this music thing. The track came along so quickly that we decided to keep going. “Chambers” with Third Degree was our next venture, and in the coming weeks we started bits with Philth, Wingz and Data 3, which flowed together so nicely that the idea of an EP was on the cards. One thing led to another, and we discovered an old track we started with Xanadu nearly 2 years ago after we met him at a gig in London. We passed it back and forth until “Shenhai” was completed. By this point, we’d gone too far, and decided to LP the shit out of it. We made a VIP of “Under the Shadow”, and tidied up a solo track “Shottaz” and realised we had a full length piece of music. We enjoyed making this release so much, it was incredible to work with so many talented producers. If you enjoy listening to it even half as much, we’re happy. Big up to all the listeners, and to Clayton & Neil for supporting us"

To celebrate the launch of the album Mystic are joining us at Dalston's Bar 512 along with the rest of the LP's artists as we get in the festive spirit with a Xmas Party like no other. Join us on 22nd of December for a special Xmas shindig and album launch party. More info here: www.facebook.com/events/125439204741771/

We Play The Music - Ed Solo & Skool Of Thought  Ft. Darrison

Brand new from Jaxx, out on 19th April on Calypso Muzak!

JAXX - DIRTY DOGS - CALYPSO MUZAK OUT NOW

Innerground Records proudly welcomes Macca into the family with this two-track stepper that is a perfect blend of dark and light.

"Rise N Grind" gets the ball rolling with a minimal approach to a heavy and brooding dancefloor number. The track rolls out gently before getting to the gritty horn fanfare and accompanying basslines. Sounding like a call to arms with a staccato beat and sometimes throbbing low-ends, this is one for the rave generals to savour.

"Special Lady" is a switch of pace and has that classic, glittery Innerground sound. A sultry amen gives way to a deep and soulful bottom line that swims in the eardrums creating that warm feeling you only get from a beautifully constructed piece of liquid DnB.

Delta9 Recordings presents “From The Streets Vol. 3”, the third chapter of a Various Artists project showcasing a variety of drum and bass styles and paying homage to the Drum&Bass sounds that Delta9’s crew grew up with since their early days promoting parties over 15 years ago until now.

Delta9 Recordings has a scope which stretches throughout the most creative parts of Europe, places which are renowned as a hotbed for music, as well as a breeding ground for artists. From Berlin, Germany to Bergamo, Italy, the label has built itself on top of these two cities, bringing forward artists from the continent’s furthest reaches and pushing them onto the pedestal provided for them by the label. Delta9 Recordings focuses on mainly the dark, minimalistic sounds of drum & bass and this is something which is highlighted throughout their slowly growing back catalogue of music.

On this third instalment listeners will be completely wrapped by the loads of bass coming from these incredible deep bangers, spacing from half time tunes, to innovative jungle rhythms and ending to the classic hard hitting rollers!

Each track is a return to form for Delta9 Recordings, with the roster of Delta9 Recordings steadily growing over the past twelve months!

Fabio & Grooverider (Clash In The Capital Special) - 1st April 2019

@Philth steps up for SUNANDBASS Podcast #82, and this one’s personal. A long time fan and attendee of the festival, it always means a lot to him to play there, a place he often calls his ‘happy place’. In this mix he’s really showcased what SUNANDBASS, San Teodoro, and Sardinia means to him, something that is also so important to us. 

In customary Philth style, he’s put together an epic mix chock full of both fresh and classics, so get stuck in – but before you do, here’s a few words from the man himself to explain the context of it all:

When I was asked to record the latest Sun and Bass podcast I didn’t want to just gather up some promos and smash out a mix, I wanted to think about the festival and what it means to me and choose tracks that reflect what it feels like to spend a week in San Teodoro digging out some of my all time favourite tunes as well as exciting new music. As I collected up my music I thought about the main locations at Sun and Bass and how they all have their own particular vibe, then I selected a folder of music for the Beach, the Ambra Night ‘Garden’ and ‘Gazebo’ stages, just like I would do for the festival. The mix progresses on this journey, starting with mellow warm Beach vibes; picking up the energy and the euphoric feeling dancing under the stars in the Garden; and finishing up with the dark rinseout tunes to get sweaty to in the Gazebo. The final track is the sunrise at La Cinta beach before battling up the hill to get home... Sun and Bass is a place where the crowd are always receptive to deeper flavours of DnB so that definitely had an influence on my selection, along with a healthy sprinkle of classics, music that reminds me of good times at the festival both on the decks and dancefloor. There are plenty of my own productions but I didn’t  want it to just be a dubplate mix - there is too much good music going on across the scene to only play my tracks. The mix   features forthcoming Philth and Phil:osophy tracks coming on Dispatch, Flexout, Integral and Peer Pressure in 2019 so listen carefully no tracklist no ID’s!

Exit Records is at forefront of electronic music, constantly pushing the envelope in terms of aesthetic and execution.
Label owner dBridge strikes a careful balance between releasing music that serves a purpose for dancers and thinkers alike. The roster of artists involved in the label is allowed express themselves as they see fit with only one stipulation; pushing the genre forward.
The Exit Records club nights are typically riotous affairs- they stand as a mix of the most cutting-edge music crossed with a firm eye on the dancefloor, from stages at festivals to residencies at clubs across the world, the events are known to sell out.
As the label enters its 15th year of existence a confidence in sound and direction has come to the fore and this is what cements Exit Records as a go-to label for those inside and out of the genre.
