Bensley – A name which has remained a talking point across the genre since the announcement of his exclusive signing to Ram Records. Heralding from the city of Toronto, known for being a hotbed for the drum & bass genre, Bensley has stood as an anomaly.

In its 20 year plus history, never before has the RAM imprint created a journey as unique as Bensley’s. If you scour the internet, you won’t find one single release, an upload or even any previous history on the producer. Yet all it took was a one single demo to attract the attention of the acclaimed electronic music label. The RAM HQ was instantly enveloped by Bensley’s technically adept and musical personality, with the demos blowing the roof off the Hornchurch office on first listen. 

Bensley ‘let the music do the talking’… Quite literally. On first listen to ‘Fandango’, a precursor for what’s yet to come, you’ll instantly tune in to why he was snapped up so quickly. His innovative composition appeals to even the hardiest of heads – but it also builds a bridge between the commercial and the underground.

Straight away, you can hear the heavily influenced tinkling of his jazz musician grandfather; Bensley is also an accomplished saxophone player, having traveled extensively with his school band. An artist who’s just as inspired by the contemporary sounds of Wilkinson and Loadstar, as much as jazz pioneers Dave Brubeck and Charlie Parker, the depth of his musicality goes deeper than a DAW interface.

Next Generation - OUT NOW: po.st/NxtGenLPiT

With Zane Lowe pedestalling the first glimpse into Bensley’s diverse soundscape, ‘Fandango’ was a precursor for this forthcoming debut. ‘Next Generation’ is a bold move; with drum & bass being a genre which has certainly stood the test of time, newcomers have incredibly big shoes to fill. However, Bensley incorporates an innovative and incredibly intricate set of production skills to hold a title of his own.

But what can you expect from an artist who was signed after sending a single demo to revered label head Andy C. That’s despite having no previous releases or having any other music available to stream online. He was somewhat of a mystery.
‘Fandango’ was that track. And it was premiered as a world exclusive on leading tastemaker Radio1, which followed with support from the likes of Mistajam on 1xtra, as well as DJs on both Kiss and XFM.

Already demonstrating his widespread appeal with just one track, his air of mystery is now about to be broken. He’s definitely an anomaly; being only nineteen and having impressed so many people.

‘Next Generation’ is a 10-track journey through an impressively diverse soundscape. Whether it’s half-time breakdowns or the incorporation if cross genre-pollination it shows an astounding ability which will not go unrecognised.
From the opening bars of ‘Wildfire’, to the softly spoken pads and atmospheric note arpeggios of ‘Rain Dance’, then wrapped up by aptly named closing track ‘Aftermath’, there’s no denying Bensley’s masterful artistry.

Title-track ‘Next Generation’ leads you by the hand with snippets of humanistic sample, flowing in and out of its construct. It’s built upon by striking note progressions, a relaying of patterns which chop and change the mix. Carefully placed subs add impact, with emphasis given on each break, carrying the track forward down a steep drop with each slab of bass.

Drawing together a dizzying and fresh array of new sounds, this album indicates why Bensley is a forerunner within the new generation of music comers. Its representative of the fast paced technological setting of music production he grew up around; it also proves that Bensley is able to tap into dimensions which are often unheard of in other bodies of work.

Hot on the heels of recent single ‘Runaway’, badman Giganti is back once again with yet another release on home label Viper.

Thrilling and eerie, Giganti takes the time to set the scene with a cinematic intro, layering haunting vocals and a chilling speech in character with his mysterious & mafia affiliated brand.

In typical Giganti fashion, the drop is audacious and loud, set to decimate any dancefloor with blazing basslines and robust rhythms.

Paying equal attention to both build-ups and drops, Giganti not only manages to create incredibly immersive tracks, but also shows his impressive production skills with each release – ‘Imagine’ being no exception.

Proving once more why label don Futurebound was so keen to welcome Giganti to the Viper famiglia, ‘Imagine’ is a pristine example of the quality D&B weapons associated with the Giganti name, one you won’t soon forget.

Viper are incredibly proud to present the first solo release in over a decade from none other than label boss Futurebound himself. Half of the household name Matrix & Futurebound who have seen soaring success as a duo with internationally loved hits like ‘Fire’, ‘Control’, ‘Magnetic Eyes’, ' All I Know ' + 2 studio albums 'Universal Truth' & 'Mystery Machine' and many more, both artists have also enjoyed various individual successes over the years as owners of Metro Recordings & Viper, respectively. With millions of streams and record sales, headlining at the world’s biggest festivals, receiving huge support from radio, tastemakers, and fellow DJs, there is no denying the legendary status of both Matrix and Futurebound.

And while there is no end in sight for the duo’s collective success, Futurebound is set to yet again make waves with his latest single, the aptly named ‘Dangerous’, on his very own Viper Recordings.

Featuring the vocals of Tom Cane, who has achieved similar star-status in the scene over the years, ‘Dangerous’ is destined to become another classic for the genre. Vibrant and full of life, Futurebound packs the track full of his signature energy, shaped by years of being submersed in dance music culture. Bright and emotive, ‘Dangerous’ captures the essence of the underground culture we hold so dear while still also appealing to the mainstream in a way that only Futurebound can do.

Raised by dance music and now at the forefront of the genre, this solo release from Futurebound is not only a seminal release for the label, but for the scene as a whole. Highly sought after by peers and fans alike, Viper are proud to finally unleash ‘Dangerous’ from the one & only Futurebound.
