These days, the name L Plus on a release comes laden with expectations. There'll be expansive areas of soundscape harbouring rave-reverberating bass and precision-strike drums. There'll be detailed attention to musicality and a never-lapsing surge of energy. And if you've been checking shows from heavy-hitters like Friction recently, you'll know that this EP delivers on those expectations to the max.

“Jailbreak” is all about controlled aggression. A suspenseful chord pattern interspersed with drive-by shots of bass sets the scene. Then there's a multi-stage drop, first delivering us into a pressurised container of bass and kicks, before a further build leads us to the addition of punch-to-the-solar-plexus snares. This is heavy, heavy, unrelenting stuff.

And talking of heavy stuff, the next track is, aptly enough, “One Tonne of Bass”. A big room intro built from swirling atmospherics and wide sonorous sustained notes shimmers into view. Then the eponymous vocal sample signals a drop down into straight-up head-nodding grimy funk. Then L Plus keeps the heat rising as the bassline modulates to give each sixteen bars a character of its own. This is one to give the dancefloor a proper workout.

Then “Arcade” brings something for ravers to love and producers to envy. The chirps, bleeps and melodic patterns of eighties gaming are recreated and woven into twenty-first synthesis in a way we haven't quite heard before. It's a shoot 'em up between nostalgic stabs and ultra-modern bass and riffs which grows into a full on sonic war, and it's an addictive exultant joy. This is one that screams out to be pulled back and played from the top.

Things are a little darker in the dystopian city conjured up by “Snitch”. There's a technoid paranoia in the air, brought on by an approaching insurgency of low end. The drop provides no relief as sparse beats leave the bassline free to fill the space with interrogation-room oppression. With one eye always on the dancefloor, this is where L Plus proves his mastery of creating mood with music.

This EP proves why L Plus tunes are a constant fixture in the sets of well-informed DJs. Combining a rare technical proficiency with a well-honed musical and storytelling sensibility, plus a ruthless desire to smash parties everywhere, this producer is at the top of his game. This is creative rave music set to blaze on raves and airwaves alike.

Exploid - Prototype (Remastered)

From the forthcoming Bass Infection Vol.4

1. Kentro – Bangalore
2. Breakpitt & Tenchu – Funk Off
3. Maverick – Valkyrie
4. Body & Soul – Kill Em

Released: 25/08/17
Cat No: MFR091LP4

Bass Infection keeps on spreading! Mainframe Recordings proudly presents another four freshly engineered strains from the world's most clandestine underground labs.
After its thoroughly dark and heavy predecessor, Volume 4 of the mighty album series starts off with a comparably playful opener track by London based newcomer Kentro, who is taking you on a wild ride through the hazy streets of “Bangalore”. With a recent release on Renegade Hardware, and now on Austrian Drum & Bass' flagship imprint, this talent has to be watched for sure.
On "Funk Off", Vienna Residents Breakpitt & Tenchu take it a whole level deeper. Find a prime Tech-Funk roller here, garnished with a nice pinch of cool jazz reverberating from the days when Drum & Bass still was that mystical inner city thing Electronic Dance Music's avant-garde was all hyped about.
Next up, and void of any kind of retro vibe, fresh talent from Switzerland Maverick is letting loose a modern day “Valkyrie”, but this one didn't come to take fallen warriors to Valhalla, but rather to unleash pure Dance Floor euphoria. Back to serious business at the closing track - on "Kill Em", Body & Soul are back with another hard hitter and again make no prisoners. To be taken literally!

04 Body & Soul - Kill Em

1st track of forthcoming Child Of Contempt REMIXES. Beside Disprove Remix, you can find some big names like Counterstrike, Malux(more to be announced!). EP is gonna drop 22.09.17 on ION Recordnigs

Let 'Em Dance (Disprove Remix)

Viper Recordings are proud to be back at the world’s largest Drum & Bass celebration, hosting a stage again at this year’s Let It Roll 2018 Festival in Czech Republic. To celebrate, we have pulled together an immense new EP with seven brand new, exclusive tracks from some of the best new names in the game.

Dutchmen NCT & Franky Nuts team up together with legendary MC, Coppa for the opening track ‘Bad’, a sultry, murky tune featuring the cutting vocals of Coppa that will certainly surprise fans of either artist – this one is heavy! Australian duo Ekko & Sidetrack, one of the hottest acts in drum & bass at the moment, deliver ‘Combat’, an ominous, foreboding tune with an unforgettable drop that is sure to be a festival favourite this year.

Manchester-based, North Base teams up with fellow Mancunian Longman for ‘Ten Men’, an eerie, visceral, neuro-esque roller that is sure to send shivers down spines worldwide. Austrian duo, Dossa & Locuzzed give us a taste of their signature funk sound with a dark, sinister twist that is set to be an instant favourite amongst the heads.

New unreleased artist, Giganti, comes with his debut track with a surprise upper cut with ‘Roll It’, a powerful ballad that proves he is a name to watch. Veteran Kiwi-producers, Trei returns with ‘Paradigm’ is an energetic tune with whimsical vocal chops, vibrant synths, and thumping drums that is nothing short of flawless.

The last track on the EP, ‘Dick Chasen’, from Spanish trio Maniatics, is perhaps the heaviest of them all, serving filthy, minimal neurofunk from start to finish.

All in all, the compilation once again represents Viper’s diverse strengths as a label, and is a fitting celebration for one of the scene’s most important events of the year.

In early 2017, they combined their forces and created something even bigger – Spaced Out was born. Combining Jump Up with Neurofunk, their sets are filthy and fresh at the same time and they were already able to show off their skills alongside Macky Gee & Dubape.

Multigenre Electronic Producer and DJ.

DRUM & BASS, TECH HOUSE, TECHNO

Exploid is an international electronic producer and DJ hailing from Hamburg/Bremen, Germany. His passion for bass music builds up since early 2000s and has remained strong ever since. He combines strong and heavy basslines with uplifting melodies and creates a unique hybrid sound.

His inimitable brand of music is unlike anything else. Powerful, mysterious, but also melodic and densely arranged, these tracks have an immediate mesmerizing effect on audiences. Never one to chase trends, he continues to blaze his own path, exploring the depths of Drum & Bass and Tech House and constantly reinventing his sound.

Exploid has been expressing himself musically since he was a child. Born as son from a jazz musician, he started at the age of 12 with drum lessons. A few years later, he mastered the art of Bass, Guitar, Piano and other instruments. This passion for playing and creating music has never changed and has since enabled him to smash venues as musician, producer and DJ.

As much inspired by the sounds of rave, winding, wobbling and low basses, Exploid is already known for his signature dance floor smashing style, bright melodies, smooth but also heavy basslines. Despite this, he’s experimenting with every kind of sounds, genres and sub-genres. He’s pushing the boundaries, unites music and try to do something different. This has, and always will, be a very important part of his production style.
