Proximity Recordings

Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – PROX078
Artist – Incognito 
Title – Decayed EP

A. Incognito - Smoke Signals 
B. Incognito - Balancing Act
C. Incognito – Decayed
D. Incognito - Play Your Card

RELEASE DATE: 13/07/15

A prolific figure in the underground Drum & Bass scene, Incognito makes a return to Proximity with his first release with us in just over a year. Hailing from New Zealand he has truly introduced a sound into the scene which sounds like it is from the other side of the world. This generous release offers up a four track EP which covers both the half tempo, almost head-banging, and the more traditional style of Drum & Bass.

The EP opens with Smoke Signals, offering us an intro with sounds that conjure images of one stranded on a Caribbean desert island before being ravaged by a storm in the guise of a dark and twisted amen break. Definitely the dance-floor smasher of Decayed EP, the track is heavy and relentless. Balancing Act is the second track a plodding rhythm giving way to a pulsating low end all with mid range growls to boot. The track certainly seems to reflect its title as each instrument and sample used is balanced in order to create a tight wall of sound.


Next we arrive at Decayed, starting with hazy synths and a hypnotic vocal sample that lulls you in before being followed by a driving bassline and intricate set of drums. The track shows off serious capabilities when it comes to producing a reliable roller with Decayed having just as much impact on the second drop as first. Finally, Play Your Card brings us back to half tempo. The mid range of Play Your Card is something to be commended and interweaves itself so finely with the low end of the track and the second drop finds room somewhere within the track for slightly more variation.

Tokyo Prose - Dawn Chorus

The name Legion & Logam has resonated since their first output on the Program imprint. With vocal roller ‘House of Cards’ being picked up by some of the dance world’s leading tastemakers, it saw the production trio ascend to a very critical point in their career. And the glass ceiling has been broken; it was only apt for such rising stalwarts to be given the monumental 25th release in the label’s discography.

‘Holding On’ and ‘Afterthought’ also follow their exclusive signing to Ram Records, the sister label who engendered Program and who’ve stood the test of time. Although, it was only a matter of time before the artists were taken in by a label of that calibre.

You’re taken into A-side ‘Holding on’ by the soulful talent of Micah Freeman, guiding you through its beautiful note arpeggios and clicking percussion. Weaving amongst the atmospheric strum of guitar and climatic synth, it’s perfectly refined and demonstrates exactly why they were exclusively signed to the Ram imprint.

Following on in quick procession is ‘Afterthought’. Pounding against an ethereal, humanistic sample, there’s an underlay of subs which slowly builds and brays between breaks. They masterfully combine impact with a tightly woven composition; fiercely intricate yet without lacking substance, it pedestals the experience which each party brings to the table.

So, here’s to another release which sees Legion & Logam firmly on the radar for years to come. Their talent was already unbridled. However, combining this with one of the biggest and most revered drum & bass labels across the globe, they’re sure to become unstoppable.

Ten Years Of Med School
Release date: 1st April
Picture disc vinyl + 2xCD // 2xCD // Digital
https://MedSchoolMusic.lnk.to/TenYearsSo

‘Ten Years of Med School’ celebrates the plethora of talent to have emerged over the past decade showcasing snapshots of the imprint’s most memorable releases alongside hints of an even brighter future. Originally the understated sister label of Hospital Records, Med School is now a standalone soldier playing a significant role in electronic music, scouring every hidden corner of drum & bass and beyond.

The release showcases 18 brand new and exclusive tracks, including some stunning remixes of the label’s finest moments. Ivy Lab lead Etherwood’s uplifting ‘We’re Nothing Without Love’ down a more ominous path while Kimyan Law strips down Royalston’s drum crazy ‘Jungle Gone Down’. Frederic Robinson injects a cloud-like bounce into Keeno’s ‘Nocturne’ and Bop gives ‘Pray’ by The Erised a stunning 170bpm rework.

The album also features a host of new creations and collaborations. Etherwood and Royalston prove that opposites attract on ‘Eyes On Me’ which brilliantly combines subtle, soulful overtones with a dark, metallic allure. Newest Med School recruit Whiney presents the deep, melancholic magic of ‘Nightfall’ while label veteran Lung returns with the energetic ‘To Infinity & Be Gone’. There are also fresh contributions from the roster’s past, present and future, including works from Anile, Rawtekk, G.H.O.S.T, Blu Mar Ten, Joe Syntax, Electrosoul System, Sunchase and more.

The ten year celebrations don’t end there as Etherwood rediscovers some back catalogue highlights and blends with the album’s new material in a continuous DJ mix of 100% Med School music.

The quality of the label is without question and this release is no different. Med School stays true to its foundations of championing forward-thinking and emerging talent - here’s to the next ten!

Mako has gone from strength to strength. He had a stellar year in 2015, he released an EP on the main Metalheadz label and put the finishing touches to the OneMind project in collaboration with DLR that has resulted in an album forthcoming for Headz.
This brings us to 2016 and the release of ‘The Third EP’. The tracks develop the theme Mako has been crafting- stark soundscapes move across well executed breaks and basslines, all in all a massive release for Mako. The artist grows in confidence with each release and it’s great to be able showcase this on Headz.

J:KENZO - SKATTA / ALIGHT
A - Skatta 
AA - Alight

Ltd Edition 12” Vinyl & Download Released: 1st April 2016

www.cosmicbridgerecs.com

Cosmic Bridge Records welcomes J:Kenzo for a double dose of jungle nostalgia viewed through the lens of its recent renaissance.

On ’Skatta’ b/w ‘Alight’, the British producer returns to the sound he first embraced as a teenager by infusing the basics of jungle — cut up breaks, layered pads, and vocal samples from the never-ending trove of Jamaica’s music history — with modern techniques and a healthy dose of low end.

The A-side beings with a throwback, uplifting intro that promptly fades into a tough dancehall-inspired rhythm flourished with shards of breakbeats, catchy chants, and sirens echoing into the darkest corners of the club. J:Kenzo keeps the energy high with scatterings of percussion that play against the distinct bass line melodies. Flip over and watch him set the dance alight with a subtle exercise in junglistic rollage, four minutes of uncompromising break extravagance, tight edits, and pulsing bass that take no prisoners. J:Kenzo treats the classic sound with a reverent approach without being afraid to twist it up. “This release is my ode to 1990s jungle,” he admits.

After emerging in the late 2000s, J:Kenzo first came to prominence in 2010 thanks to the keen ears and support of Youngsta, landing his debut album on the legendary Tempa label before signing releases to Metalheadz, 31 Records, and Exit. His contribution to the growing Cosmic Bridge discography further confirms his talent.
