Kid Lib - Live & Direct (Unmastered Preview)

“With “Surface To Air” b/w “Gangstalking”, Blood Trust follows up his debut releases on CNVX and 3024 with the Digital Red Label series, further staking out his own precise vision of Drum n Bass futurism. 

“Surface to Air” opens with a cold rush of tension, grounded by stepping percussion and a bassline threaded through open space. Relentless pressure mounts with flashes of breaks and flatlined Reeses, dissonance eased only by the acquisition of new targets. 

“Gangstalking” follows with highly-focused pressure, encompassing cut by jagged kicks and scattered rims. As an acidic figure snakes its way through the mix, Blood Trust reaffirms the forgotten possibilities of techstep’s dread and imagines an alternate timeline, one built off the wreckage of the past but with the possibilities of the future.
Please standby for further communications from the Digital Red Label Series.”

Rolling in with a selection of Drumfunk goodness for mix #9 in the drop is Infest

Infest has been producing breakbeat music for more than a decade now and he is known for a string of highly emotive drum and bass releases on a variety of well-respected labels. Infest is not only a respected DJ and producer, but also label boss of Next Phase Records, an exciting label that aims to release an eclectic mix of breakbeat driven music unrestricted by BPM. Music, design and art have run through his blood since childhood and his appetite for expression and an attention to detail stands at the forefront of every track, design or painting Robbert crafts. He achieves this connection by building rich cinematic and emotive productions that combine with his artwork to form an audio visual journey through a wonderfully vivid universe overflowing with empathy.

Here we are with our 12th vinyl release. We’re really proud of our back catalogue, and even prouder to be able to add more to it. And what better way to expand our portfolio than by inviting yet another exciting artist to join our 12” club. And this artist is Ricky Force – a man who’s seen it all in the more breakbeat-oriented face of drum & bass, pushing his trademark intricate percussion programming since 1999, releasing quality music on labels such as Reinforced, Repertoire, Omni Music, Pinecone Moonshine, DSCI4 or 117 and now finding home with us. Without further ado, here’s Ricky Force and his latest single – a pair of not your usual 170-BPM masterpieces leaning heavier towards roots vibes, jungle, halfstep, and dub (Ricky’s from Dublin, so it makes total sense). “ Ecstasy ” starts with a looped vocal bit that leads the listener on towards a thick bush overgrown with full-bodied kicks, sharp, frantic breaks, and a bassline composed of massively booming bits that are bound to keep you on your toes, especially if you have the chance to enjoy it on some proper sound-system. “ Firehouse Dub ” is, in turn, a solid half-stepper strongly rooted in jungle revivalism. It marches slowly and steadily, unfolding some interesting stories on the way – a series of thickly-arranged broken beats, a pack of blares, some vocal bits here and there… Put together, they create an amazing mixture of classic sounds organized up to modern-day standards with surgical precision only Ricky Force is capable of. A true feast for all those into the less polished and more true-school shades of drum & bass.

Ricky Force - Ecstasy

Hey, welcome to my SoundCloud, where I post some of my music. At the moments I make oldschool jungle and Drum'n'Bass the original way, using Akai S1000, a mixing desk, an FX unit and a microKorg. I have been making music for over 30 years. My discography is full of various themes, including ambient, jazz, funk, IDM, drill'n'bass, acid and more. A few years ago, I decided to settle in to only making JUNGLE, which was the music that changed my life back in the mid 90s. I also make YouTube videos. Thanks for visiting.
