The original version of 'The Chopper' on Dread Recordings was a great track, but it was the remix by Shy Fx that was the version which went on to be a massive drum&bass anthem. The b-side to Shy's mix was Ray Keith's own remix.

One of the most charismatic pioneers of UK dance music, Skream, is back on the visionary label that is Crosstown Rebels. The momentous ‘You Know, Right?’ has been avidly searched for since it’s inception and will finally be released in November 2016.

This two track EP contains two innovative productions from the musical chameleon, pushing the boundaries of genre once again with breakbeat percussion, potent keys and a garage style vocal on the monstrous ‘You Know, Right’. The EP also features the techno soundscape ‘Minor Smooth’ on the B-side, which also is going down a storm.

We last saw Skream on Crosstown Rebels last year with the epic ‘Still Lemonade’, which gained high critical acclaim. Keeping the standards high the truly individual ‘You Know, Right?’ has already been heavily supported this summer by Jackmaster, Jamie Jones, Annie Mac, Steve Lawler and Damian Lazarus amongst others.

Starting out as one of dubstep’s first most prominent and prolific producers, Skream went on to achieve commercial success and critical acclaim with Magnetic Man alongside Artwork and Benga reaching no.5 in the UK Album Chart and reaching no.10 in the UK Singles Chart. More recently he has been releasing on his label Of Unsound Mind and as a sought after remixer on labels such as Boysnoize Records, Hot Creations and Watergate Records.

Skream - You Know, RIght

Black Sun Empire
“The Veil Feat. Noisia” b/w “Catalyst Feat. Pythius” 

The Blackout train has well and truly left the station already in 2017, and with the year’s debut single from Black Sun Empire featuring collaborations with Noisia and Pythius the momentum that is being gathered so early is bordering on frightening.

BSE have delivered another beautifully constructed single that blends the tough sound fans are used to with Noisia’s brains and Pythius’ brawn. The depth of knowledge and talent in tandem with BSE’s creative capacity makes the single just the adrenaline shot the scene needed to jump start the year. “The Veil” takes a more scaled back approach by pushing its energy through a souled out bassline, whilst Pythius’ influence can be heard in “Catalyst” as it swings violently, yet gracefully, through a string of hot tempered breaks.

The great news is that this is not just a single release, but the prologue to an epic journey that Black Sun Empire are to embark upon in 2017, with the group stating recently:
“we’re excited to announce we’ve been working on our next album and we’re almost finished, can’t wait to tell everyone more about it soon”
As a statement this is incredible news, as many fans and peers have been waiting for a BSE longplayer for a while. However, when you look at “The Veil”/”Catalyst” as the hors d’oeuvre and appetiser, the main course is guaranteed to attain Michelin star status.

Phase 2 comes to the Innerground fold in outstanding form with three tracks that could arguably have been designed from the ground up for the label.

"Stranger Things" kicks things off with a tight stepper of a beat accentuated by some lovely work on the keys. The track bears the marks of the title with some ethereal backdrops and harmonies before launching back into the full body roll of the main break.

"Come On Then" is next with a similarly eerie feeling to the soundscape but a more stripped back, minimal approach. Building to mini crescendos throughout and layering the elements gives the track a new lease of life every 16 bars and identifies Phase 2's ability to create dynamic and accessible audio.

And finally, we have "Go Pro" - a favourite of DJ Marky's for a while now and captures many different elements of the DnB spectrum. A highly intricate break coupled with some liquid rhodes-style keys and some low-end wobble means there is a little something for everyone to groove to on this track.

Available as a @beatport exclusive from 26th October 2018!

'LEVEL!!!! Is killer just killer' - Goldie

Representing all corners of the globe from New Zealand, Germany and the UK, this summer sees the release of 'LEVEL' feat. The Upbeats and 'BLOCK' feat. Phace, the second instalment on Rockwell's newly founded imprint, OBSOLETE MEDIUM. Continuing from where 2018s User and "CONTENT" EPs left off, Rockwell enlists his friends and frequent collaborators into the OBSOLETE MEDIUM fold, with two tracks that continue to investigate the distorted, granular, and futuristic soundscapes which punctuate Rockwell's work. 

"One of the main reasons I started OBSOLETE MEDIUM was to make it easier to write and release music with my mates. There is nothing like catching a vibe in the studio and rolling out something grungy with one of your good friends, and both LEVEL and BLOCK are great examples of this"

Black Sun Empire feat Inne Eysermans - Killing the Light (June Miller Remix)
Worldwide release date: March 25th 2013 (Exclusive to Beatport for two weeks)
OUT NOW: http://www.beatport.com/release/from-the-shadows-remix-ep/1050670
www.facebook.com/blacksunempire
www.facebook.com/junemillermusic

With support from a stunning cross section of industry players – Chase & Status, Pendulum, Friction, Camo & Krooked, Loadstar, Rockwell, High Rankin, Feed Me – and a position in the top five best-selling albums of 2012 on Beatport, Black Sun Empire’s ‘From The Shadows’ LP was one of the Dutch trio’s biggest accomplishments in their fifteen year, five album history. To celebrate? They’re serving up this disgustingly massive remix compendium. 

Featuring some of the most exciting talents in drum & bass, each of the six remixes here offer a sizzling new slant on three of the album’s biggest tracks. All armed with their own character and uncompromising dynamics, it’s a challenge deciding which one to drop first…

‘All Is Lost’ starts the set with the perfect balance of emotional sonic star-gazing and gritty bottom-end welly. With stunning hymn-like vocals from Thomas Oliver and hype-hungry attitude from Youthstar, it’s widely regarded as one of the album’s boldest highlights. Naturally both Memtrix and Telekinesis have stepped up to the massive challenge. 

Lifted fave Memtrix goes first. Opening with teases of the original’s euphoric synths, he lets the vocals breath for one second before BANG: utter bassline sickness takes over. Complete sonic bombardment of the senses, there is no mistaking Memtrix’s direction and focus for this prime-time piece of D&B naughtiness. And there’s no mistaking the raw power of Telekinesis’s remix, either… Igniting with piano-primed ‘lighters up’ intro, we’re soon pushed into the deepest end of the darkness pool with Youthstar’s spitfire delivery, a gut-busting halfstep groove and a murder of distorted bass tones. Flipping to full D&B tempo midway, it’s a strident party piece that will stay in your wallet or playlist from now until the 23rd century.  

Next up, ‘Dawn Of A Dark Day’: A blazing unity of UK grime and Euro neuro, the day Black Sun Empire called up the Foreign Beggars for mic-duties was a game-changing day for the entire bass industry. Naturally both remixes pay respect to the fusion and fire of the original. Prolix takes the original’s swaggering halfstep intro and adds a touch more menace on the low-end and an industrial punch to the beats before dropping into a rampant, rolling speaker-smasher. No face will be left unmelted when you drop this. We guarantee it. Meanwhile Receptor adds his own interpretation with an instant uptempo kickstart and the creative use of drama-drenched cinematic strings and devilish Slayer-level guitars.  

‘Killing The Light’ brings us to a fitting climax with two of drum & bass most distinctive, forward-thinking acts on remix duties. Delicately dressed with the heart-melting vocals of Inne Eysermans, the raw emotion makes ‘Killing The Light’ the closest thing to a ballad Black Sun Empire will ever write. Paying respect to this, Icicle sharpens the kicks and snares, weaves haunting pads into the mix and takes the vocal to the darkest place imaginable. For those looking for more of a laser-snapping edge, look no further than June Miller’s remix; bolstered with a gargantuan bassline and searing sonic flares, the Dutch-Anglo duo have taken the softness and depth of the original and subverted into a priceless peaktime banger that NO D&B DJ should be without this season.
