Having signed exclusively to Proximity earlier in the year, North London based duo Tephra & Arkoze are back with their second release with us! They proudly present a devastating single titled The Lions Den / Pressure!  

The Lions Den certainly does what it says on the tin as this aggressive number keeps the listener well aware of their surroundings with its weighty drums, heavy bassline and growling vibes. Approach with caution! On the flip the boys feature the vocal talents of Innate MC with Pressure! A much more mellower vibe here but the tracks still ticks all the boxes when it comes to craftsmanship, nasty beats and tasty basslines! The vocals are the icing on the cake with this one! 

You have been warned! 


PROX053 - TEPHRA & ARKOZE - PRESSURE - FEAT. INNATE MC

Having passed through our camp not once but quite a few times this year, Kolectiv grace our presents once more with their stunning extended player titled, Archetype EP.

The London based trio step up to the Proximity plate yet again with this stunning 4 track package which boasts nothing less then top quality production skills right the way through! Whether you’re searching for that raw end gritty sound found in Cell State or whether you’re after one of those deep, blissful melodic numbers such as EP title track Archetype, then look no further because you’ve found it. What we have left is the heavy weight sounds of Satori, packed with thumping basslines and classic breaks. The highly experimental vibes of Radial is the icing on the cake here, which features the talents of InVision.

Strap yourselves into your seats as you take the ride of a lifetime yet again with Kolectiv!

Mikal returns for his second release on FORCE Recordings after a string of MONSTER hits on Metal Headz, Shogun, Soundtrax & Stepping Forward - FOUNDATION & DIMENSION are up-front PURE Drum & Bass!

Continuing to expand on his dynamic library of songs, "Foundation" is an immaculately produced, Jungle influenced DnB jam delivering that oldschool vibe in a newschool way. Stout drum rhythms under laidback basslines and the always perfect 'bleeps' combine with the main vocal hook describing the 'responsibility of the drums'. It's this melding of the elements sealing the track together like thunder and lightning that makes "Foundation" sure fire in the mix and on the floor!

On the flip, Dimension starts its momentum quickly with luring uses of reverb and technical drum fills accenting each new movement of the tune. Mikal, unwilling to do a one and done, really shines on the B-Cut here - leading you through dense sonic territory and basslines that echo in your mind long after the song has ended.

Mikal and the music he makes are a testament to the longevity of Jungle and Drum & Bass.... a new face with a letter of recommendation from the old guard of UK DnB, making MAJOR moves with REAL DnB pressure!

FORCE Recordings Releases on BEATPORT

FORCE081 - Mikal - Dimension - Preview

Avantgarde launches his LTD branch, available just on digital.

We are absolutely proud of both tracks, been smashing dancefloor in a consistent way during all the summer. 
A side is from the Sardinian duo Arp XP & Maurs. No need to say more than just a killer piece of rolling funk with some rough vocals, to make sure tearing everything out at every play. 
The AA side is from Seattle US. The mighty Quadrant join the forces with the wife Iris, to complete a deep bass vibe track, which reminded us the old Jungle days but in a modern look. True family affair!

Supported by: 
Ant TC1, Nymfo, Cern, Dabs, Need For Mirrors, Mindscape, Safire & many more..
