DIS:TURBED's newly-founded Identity Records imprint kicks off with a huge bang, bringing through 4 of the Drum & Bass scene's most exciting talents for a dark, subterranean debut EP. Here, we see a selection of upcoming powerhouses go to town on the much-loved minimal sound, namely Recon, Half Cab, Medusa and Hickupz, the latter of which we recently dropped a collaborative Premiere / Free Download with, check that via our 'Free Downloads' playlist. Back to this EP, and we're treated to a masterclass in devilish sonics from Recon, who's kicked up a storm on 'Dark Places'. Fabulously textured and warped, this is plucked straight out of the top-drawer from a producer who's sure to go on to do big things in the scene. Clicky, snappy percs meet sharp, robotic atmospherics in a hybrid of sounds that works perfectly - what an opener.

OTW Premiere / Free DL: Recon - Dark Places [Identity Records]

“Obituary” by Hickupz is a seriously heavyweight tune, fully showcasing the versatility minimalism has. Using the simplicity of stripped back drums, the moody atmospherics shine forth even more and create the brooding vibe of the tune. The effectiveness of the vocal sample that leads into the second drop is not be undersestimated, it’s a surging drop you won’t expect and won’t soon forget!
The diversity and energy in these tracks is a truly fresh take on DnB, and one you don’t want to hesitate in adding to your collection.

That deep vibration of bass is a hallmark of DnB, and so is its driving pace. “Mystery Powder” by Half Cab revels in this: the swing of the kick and snare which instantly drags you in, the subterranean reach of the bass tones that threaten to overwhelm your senses, the sudden change of pace brought out by the hat section that sends you into hyperdrive, the hypnotic repetition of the fuzzed out melody which send you to the furthest reaches of space.

Medusa brings us “Gold Leaf”, a track that is filled to the brim with cutting edge technical skill. The rhythm employed is seductive, as it’s broken beat vibe is complex yet bouncy at the same time. Overlay this with the precise hat section and the mutated sound of the melodic motif, and it’s a perfectly crafted tune that challenges the mind while rushing the body.

Identity Records are back with a bang, stepping up the pace after their first 4-track VA that featured upcoming talents Recon, Medusa, Half Cab and Hickupz, who showcased their depth and propensity for the dark side of Drum & Bass with 4 slick, evil cuts. This time around, the trend continues, with Identity locking Recon, Headroom, Dubruvvas and Phoroptic for their finest selection yet. All producers excel on this latest outing, providing a keen insight into why the grassroots 174 scene is so, so exciting right now. Hosted exclusively here via OTW, Hereford/Bristol dons Dubruvvas step up to the plate, delivering some stonecold serendipitous sauce on 'Plastic Switch', a fresh yet mature cut made up of illustrious percs, superb, snappy sound design and a seething main bass layer.

PREMIERE: Recon 'Irusu' [Identity Records]

Headroom keeps the vibes going on his track “Primordial.” Crafting a solid kick drum and snare that blend perfectly for that dark snapping rhythm, it’s a track that reminds how addictive simplicity is. The constantly twisting and mutating sound of the distorted bassline find their way into the deepest recesses of the mind, exposing parts of it typically left untouched. All of these elements combine into a killer track that helps push DnB in exciting new directions.

Lastly, we are given “Get Money” by PhoroptiC – a heavyweight roller with a throbbing bassline the likes of which you’ve never heard before. It is an unrelenting masterpiece that perfectly encapsulates the anxiety of pursuing wealth, which is done by blending the consistency of a roller with the deep lurch of dark DnB. This is the exact kind of tune that is surprisingly addictive, as once heard it refuses to leave your head nor do you ever want it to.

As we move towards the closing stages of 2020, the newly-founded but always-impressive Identity Records imprint continues to up the pace after a series of well-curated, in-depth releases. With their releases currently available on a free download basis, Identity have moved from strength to strength under the steady, innovative guidance and keen ear of label boss DIS:TURBED, and that highkey trend is highlighted yet again here.

Continuing to draw from their impressive roster of artists that includes the likes of Recon, Katon, Dubruvvas, Headroom, Medusa, Half Cab, Hickupz, Rezin and more, ‘The Third Kind’ VA EP lines up the hammer from some familiar faces, plus some new ones too; it’s the perfect balance, and a balance we’ve become accustomed to from an imprint that’s cementing itself as a key platform for the very best in new talent. This time, Identity draw for the minimal, industrial production talents of label stalwarts Recon and Katon, whilst Lisbon-based talent Resslek appears alongside DIS:TURBED & Array, with the latter pairing revisiting one of their previous cuts, giving it the good ol’ VIP treatment.

It’s all go from the start, another common theme of Identity licks; they’re really forming a slick, well-oiled substance here, whilst building a sick audience alongside and achieving some mammoth numbers, and that’s taking in both streams and downloads - expect to hear a metric tonne of Identity releases when we’re back in the clubs. Katon kicks off the EP in fine style with the mesmerically minimal ‘Body Flicka’, which balances dastardly, evil clicks & whistles with that pinpoint, submerged sound that the Identity family have made their own - this one’s already receiving some huge support from across the scene. Recon is up next with ‘Excuses’, again staking his claim and evidencing why he’s perhaps the next big thing in the minimal genre; this low-slung cut delivers on every level, with its main body writhing and galloping into the depths, never once fading out of site. Making his debut on Identity, Resslek supplies the indomitable ‘PAT’, yet another impressive outing following superlative releases across Parallel Depth, Boey Audio, Citate Forms and more.

Finally, DIS:TURBED & Array have blessed us with a VIP of ‘Primitive Instinct’, which dropped to heavy support on MadWorld Records back at the start of August. Whereas the original’s bassline had a signature bass-etched flutter throughout, the VIP reels this back slightly in favour of a deeper, more enhanced sub that pummels and headbutts with ease, teasing and flitting between the flutter and wobble of the OG cut. There’s no completely wholesale changes on show, but just enough has changed to make this an insta-cop for any likeminded Drum & Bass head. This is where the best VIP’s lie and ultimately find their place in the hearts, heads and sets of the best selectors around.

DIS:TURBED's high-flying Identity Records imprint continues to go from strength to strength with their latest release, which again exceeds all high expectations for the ascending grassroots platform. Proving his strong penchant for solid A&R, the label boss has locked in Identity stalwart Recon, a fresh collaboration from newcomers Jenks & Esoro, some real submerged darkness from Melodrama and a voyage into the night from Resslek - we've had the pleasure of premiering the latter. As per, the  EP will be available for free very soon via the Identity Soundcloud, which has surged in popularity since its inception just a short time ago. Resslek's 'Krikle' is perhaps his finest work yet, writhing, chomping and thumping its way through its low slung, no-nonsense 4-minute duration. This, as well as his recent well-supported productions, has made Resslek one of the most exciting new names on the Drum & Bass circuit.
