So I just realized I never actually wrote an editorial here so here goes: This particular track was pretty much done as a reaction - we released our intro "Memento" in early 2006 and the reaction wasn't stellar. People hated the synth and the music, which was a bit heartbreaking because it was my first job working on a 64k soundtrack for Conspiracy - I was angry and hurt. At the same time, at the same party, I entered a ~1800 byte exemusic entry called "Demise" which was very much a proof of concept of doing these huge basslines in small sizes.

When we started working on Chaos Theory, I was very much driven by my recent introduction to https://soundcloud.com/blacksunempire/ - the influence was pretty tangible. At the same time I meshed influences from mainstyle hardcore I was getting into (https://soundcloud.com/djthaplayah/tha-playah-fuck-tha-fame by https://soundcloud.com/djthaplayah/ just came out at the time), and for some reason I felt a strong influence by Dream Theater at the time too, which I can't explain.

The response to this track was absolutely overwhelming, and to this day I'm not entirely sure what resonated with people or why, but I'm glad that it did.

This one was super scary to do, to do a continuation to one of the most popular tracks I've ever made, but over the years there were so many ideas where I felt we could improve on the original that in the end it turned into a great great thrillride. Keeping it a secret though... not so fun ;)

Huge huge huge thanks to https://soundcloud.com/blacksunempire, https://soundcloud.com/noisia, https://soundcloud.com/lowroller and https://soundcloud.com/mickgordon for the infinite inspiration they provided from their work - it's easy to do good work when that's what you see/hear all around you.

Santoku are well known for bringing the most upfront talent for their various artist compilation LPs and this next release from the imprint will be no different. Featuring eight producers who frequent the label, including Space Journey, Mean Teeth, dLo, VLTRN, Hijack MC, Sniper FX, Equivalent, Hajimari and Dimensional Dryft, the titled ‘Atarashi Chi' LP brings these exciting newcomers into the mix. Aptly named ‘New Blood' in Japanese, ‘Atarashi Chi' stays true to Santoku's roots, pedestalling the underground, technical sounds which make the genre so revered across electronic music. Santoku are well known for their support of fresh music and this forthcoming release will further solidify that fact.

Introducing the LP is Space Journey with ‘Remote', moving out on a sonic, sample filled composition and distorted bass rattling in between its segments. Then comes dLo with ‘Crazy', rolling forward on clattering drums and percussion that underpins the mix and adds to its weighty impact. The renowned newcomers Mean Teeth are next, with the climatic, string-lead ‘Shards', crashing into life and dragging you directly into its cascading drops. VLTRN then throw their belting slammer ‘Apocalypse' at your aural senses, featuring the grimy vocals of Hijak MC.

Space Journey returns for ‘Iron Armour', a track that alludes to its heaviness in its title. dLo too offers up another fresh cut, with ‘Automated Soul' taking you through different heights with its flying beat patterns and carefully layered synths. Presenting ‘Let's Go' is Sniper FX, a standout record from an artist who's slowly been pushing their sound recently into every corner of the scene. Then Equivalent follows with ‘You', a subterranean, nastily aggressive tech number that features the melody of female vocal crescendos. Hajimari brings out a totally different vibe with ‘Analgesic' utilising note arpeggios to form a liquid roller that juxtaposes against its spikes of LFO.

And lastly, Dimensional Dryft finishes the LP with ‘Wednesday Night'. Acting as the perfect way to bring together an album which proves how imperative Santoku is for the underbelly of drum & bass, the imprint and artists have shown just how lucrative the burgeoning drum & bass scene really is. And they're platforming the best of it.

Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "When Silence Dims The Stars Above" (http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/when_silence_dims_the_stars_above/)

I was deathly afraid of this one, it just seemed like a massive undertaking that I wasn't qualified for or didn't have the technology developed for; I'm not entirely sure how close it got to what I intended it to be, but it is what it is.

Early concept idea for another Apidya remix. 

If you don't know what Apidya is - its a robotic wasp sent out into the garden of some scientist to kill off super bugs... 

side scrolling shoot em up thing. 

its quite good - but the highlight was the music. 

anyway this took about an hour to knock up - if there is much call for it i might give it a proper fiddle (ooer missus)

Apidya - early build
