2nd Drop Records presents

Various Artists
Djrum vs…
A1. Onoe Caponoe - Milkyway 1311 (Djrum remix)
A2. Onoe Caponoe - Milkyway 1311 (Djrum remix dub)
B. Royce Wood Junior - Jodie (Djrum remix)
2NDRP10001

Released 14th October 2013

After his critically acclaimed debut album, Djrum and 2nd Drop are proud to present a limited edition 10” vinyl release of two amazing reworks. 

West London’s Onoe Caponoe is one of the most exciting MCs in the UK right now, having pinged up on 2nd Drop’s radar after dropping two blazing albums on Audio Doughnuts in the past couple of years. Djrum has been featuring Onoe’s Milkyway 1311 in his sets on a regular basis, and this naturally led to him taking the tools to it and giving it a tweak in wonderful Djrum style. It’s hip hop, but not as we know it, as Djrum installs a drum pattern that sounds like a cascading waterfall and his trademark use of strings which underpin Onoe’s funkadelic vocals perfectly. This is a great introduction to some forthcoming collaborations between these two on 2nd Drop. Watch this space!

Royce Wood Junior, known for his work with Jamie Woon and Stac among others, is an uber talented multi-instrumentalist and all round nice guy. The original has yet to be released (looking like 2014), so this version will only be available on vinyl for the foreseeable future. Djrum has transformed the track into a brooding masterpiece which emphasises the heartfelt lament of Royce’s vocal to maximum effect. A classic in the making.

SCAR - FABRICLIVE x Dispatch Mix

Narratives Music fires into 2014 by welcoming back the artist Overlook for his first full single on the label. Overlook’s first foray on Narratives delivered the cold edges of ‘Three Shards’ last year, a track which gained support across the 170bpm spectrum and numerous Single of the Month commendations. 

This release sees the sought after producer weaving his craft over a double A side, suitably showing the versatility and contrast of his talent.

The first piece ‘False’, opens with strings drenched in tones of bereft emotion, sounds kissed by images and memories. The chords find matrimony with drums sent back from the future and a driving low end that relentlessly dances underneath. Twisting beats and bass trickery embraced by musicality and emotion, ‘False’ has found its way in to the peak time DJ sets of Goldie while similarly slipping into more ethereal and subdued palettes; it exudes the sound of Narratives.

‘Everything Counts’ offers a completely contrasting stance. Drum machine hits and a depth of bubbling basses build foundation for this exploratory piece, its groove building throughout under its waves of claustrophobic immersion. Only half way into the piece is the tension released as relentless bongos join the fray and an energy of tribal and industrial momentum cuts through. Sleazy, reflective and relentless, ‘Everything Counts’, displays a producer uncompromisingly creating his art.

Cityscape Sessions 099: Solee

Our sexual deviant in residence, Bardo Camp aka Nymfo returns to the Suicide helm with a 3 track EP of sheer D&B brilliance. 
Headbangers Ball is heaviness of the kind only Nymfo can bring, building on his unique style.
Beep, as the title suggest plays around with a simple techno bleep with a huge punching bass riff.
Oblivion Dreams (digital exclusive) shows us Nymfo is no stranger to a softer sound with some killer break work.
The man is on fire.  We all thank you, deeply.

Metalheadz kicks off a very exciting 2014 with a new team of producers for the label. 

Firstly introducing Mako and DLR who are already starting work on their forthcoming combined Metalheadz album project, alongside we have the fledgling talents of Villem and the elder statesmen of the scene Ant TC1 who in his own right has had a hand in a fair share of memorable releases and himself heads up Dispatch Recordings and Metalheadz.

META015 is project that shows a great depth in the talents of the foursome, it’s a beauty and the beast affair, fantastically executed in the great tradition of Metalheadz.
Kicking off with ‘Hungry For Atmosphere’ this stepper is a perfect set opener, heartfelt strings and keys give way to contorted mids and FXs, whilst the familiar vocal is processed into something altogether more sinister. The track clocks at just over 7 minutes and this says everything of the tracks ambitions, not pandering to anything but its own journey.
Next to step into the ring is ‘A Certain Flavour’ the opposite but yet perfectly paired track to go with the A side. Beginning with a very cinematic introduction it unravels into a growling bass led stepper with staccato drums before switching into a two-step drum work out, tailor made for dancefloors and DJs alike.

A release that we are very happy to kick 2014 off with, welcome to the new breed!

Octane & DLR - Jazz Dub [Sonorous Music]

Two of the most innovative producers on our labels, Andrew Bayer and Matt Lange collaborate - with a little help from Kerry Leva - on the intricate progressive trance anthem "In And Out Of Phase".

A stand-out track on Above &amp; Beyond's "Anjunabeats Volume 9", the Club Edit of "In And Out Of Phase" combines a blissful bubbling groove, stirring string sections and Leva's angelic, otherworldly vocals to impressive effect.

Available for the first time, the Original Mix adds a string-laden breakbeat and bass section and an even more epic arrangement.

On the remixes, the currently unstoppable Norin &amp; Rad follow their recent debut Anjunabeats single "Bloom" with an uplifting, riff based big room rework - already a firm fixture in Above &amp; Beyond's sets.

Both huge fans of Bayer and Lange's obsessively detailed production work, drum &amp; bass heavyweights Calyx &amp; TeeBee inject the original's ethereal melodies with rampaging breakbeats and guttural bass growls.

•	Single: ‘Blind Spot’ out August 13th on Exceptional Blue records: Remixes from Distance, Opal Block & Maribou State: The remixes will be released on the 3rd September 2012

•	UK headline tour this October 

 “Sizzles with late night city thrills” The Times

“Cinematic” Dazed and Confused

“They whipped up a stormcloud of hysteria” DJ

 “One of the standout acts in the bass community” Hyponik

“Winning fans all over the place” RWD

“Taking bass weight and re-introducing something tender” Clash
 
On August 13th London/Leeds-based seven piece Submotion Orchestra present Blind Spot - the second single taken from their eagerly-anticipated second album Fragments.

Last year Submotion Orchestra released their debut LP Finest Hour. It lead to widespread media praise, an army of fervent fans, rapturous festival shows worldwide and sold-out headline gigs, including London’s Scala.

Blind Spot signals big things for Submotion Orchestra’s next chapter. Following the stylistic dancefloor shift of last single It’s Not Me It’s You, this new single swings the pendulum back to the lush and expansive sound that made the band’s name. It takes what was already a sweepingly cinematic blueprint and goes one step bigger and better, both musically and sonically.

The contrast between this track and It’s Not Me It’s You also highlights how the band have grown from their deubt: Fragments moves coherently between more styles than before, marking a broader palate of influences seeping into their output.

A curious blend of melancholy and subtly rising euphoria, Blind Spot fuses the band’s previous smoky and at times dense sound with a brighter, more pristine and summery optimism. It simultaneously maintains their signature mix of big bass, drums, piano/synth, strings, brass and Ruby’s sumptuous vocals - all finding their perfectly-audible place in the mix.

“There are things that should both satisfy fans of the first album, and surprise them too,” says Submotion keyboardist Taz Modi of Fragments. Watch this space to hear for yourself very soon.

Blindspot (Distance remix) CLIP

‘All Or Nothing’ is the long-awaited follow up to Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’ set to be released on one of the bass music scene’s longest running and most highly respected labels, Ram Records. The duo’s first single from their new album has already been supported by Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and many more of the world’s leading tastemakers, and ‘All Or Nothing’ looks set to catapult this incredible production partnership to all new heights.

Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’, released in 2007 on their own label was an instant game changer; cited as a landmark album for the scene ‘Anatomy’ saw the duo unleash an almighty wall of sound that rocked dance floors across the globe as they took to the road with their 6 deck DJ sets, smashing apart sound systems in nightclubs and festival tents alike.

Now, five years later, hordes of fans are aching for a new Calyx & TeeBee album and the duo are definitely not going to disappoint. Signing to Ram Records, Calyx & TeeBee have produced a long player that sounds fresh, current and forward-thinking. ‘All Or Nothing’ is their sophomore offering and is packed with new ideas, exciting collaborations, stunning musicality and an incredible level of technical skill.

From the epic opening gambit, ‘Heroes & Villains’, it’s clear that Calyx & TeeBee have created something special with their new album. The D&B jazz fusion of ‘Pure Gold’ ft. Kemo contrasts beautifully with the vocal-led minimalism of ‘Strung Out’ and the hip hop excellence of ‘We Become One’, a collaboration with Foreign Beggars and DJ Craze. Then Calyx & TeeBee hit you with the rock-influenced ‘You’ll Never Take Me Alive’ featuring Beardyman, providing yet another inspired piece of deliciously different drum & bass. Each track on ‘All Or Nothing’ is crafted with expert precision and infused with a fresh and unique set of influences.

But while ‘All Or Nothing’ is packed with stand-out moments, it’s the album as a whole that becomes something far more exciting than the sum of its parts. Calyx & TeeBee stitch each moment together with over a decade’s worth of knowledge and an undeniable wisdom about how to create an exciting and unique sounding album. ‘All Or Nothing’ will draw you in and refuse to let go as moods and ideas flow freely, leaving you gasping for breath. This will undoubtedly be one of the albums of the year, if not the decade.

Single: ‘Thinking’ Exceptional Blue records: 28/1/13

“Stunning” The Guardian “Seductive” The Times “Towering, exhilarating and often beautiful” Mixmag

“An object of desire” Metro “Submotion orchestra are on the rise, and for good reason” Q “Excellent vehicles for Ruby Wood’s soulful vocals” Uncut “They carry both the funk and the groove into new dimensions” The Word “Intriguing - one to keep an eye on” BBC.co.uk

Tracklist
Thinking (Radio Edit) 
Thinking (Uggs and Barbour Remix) 
Thinking (Mark Knight Remix)

On 28 January London/Leeds-based seven piece Submotion Orchestra return with Thinking - the third single taken from their critically acclaimed second album Fragments.
Thinking kicks off with easy-going yet somehow frenetic high hat, all tight beats and ghost hits, imploring the foot to tap. This effortlessly cool and funky electronic track combines well-placed synths and live drums with Ruby Wood’s soulful vocals, cleverly chopped and produced, combined with close harmony backing vocals calling and echoing the refrain ‘I’ve been thinking ‘bout you’. Remixes come from Uggs & Barbour and Mark Knight.
Remix Number 1 comes from mystery men Uggs and Barbour who have delivered a slightly cheeky but fresh remix which somehow defies classification. Some say that the nom de mix hides a well known secret admirer of Submotion Orchestra but we couldn’t possibly comment, just check the mix and decide for yourself
Remix number two comes from Grammy nominated artist, Mark Knight, who is responsible for some of the biggest dance records of the last decade. His signature sound blurs the boundaries between mainstream and underground and has propelled his revered imprint, Toolroom Records, to world domination. As a producer, Mark has built a reputation for outstanding releases, consistently topping international dance charts with timeless anthems; You Got The Love (Mark Knight remix), Man With The Red Face, Downpipe, Conscindo, Good Times, Devil Walking, Alright... the list is endless. As a DJ, Mark holds international prominence, with his ‘Toolroom Knights’ residencies regularly hosted at Space-Ibiza, Ministry Of Sound-London, Cocoon-Frankfurt, Club Space-Miami, and at key festivals including SW4 London, Global Gathering UK and Dance Valley Netherlands.
Here’s a brief re-cap of the recent Submotion phenomena; Having captivated revellers with their frenetic live dubstep spectacle, the band became firm festival favourites, wowing crowds at Glastonbury, Bestival The Big Chill, Latitude, Secret Garden and Outlook in Croatia.
Last year the band released their debut album Finest Hour, plus singles All Yours and Always. They were met with widespread critical acclaim, plus heavy Radio 1, 6music, 1xtra and NME Radio support. The release of their sophomore album Fragments has helped them achieve more mainstream appeal, whilst still satisfying their die-hard followers. Fragments moves coherently between styles, marking a broader palate of influences seeping into their output.
Fragments received a huge amount of support at press, including a brilliant Mixmag feature, and positive coverage in quality titles DJ, Q, The Telegraph, Artrocker, Aesthetica, Trap and Hi Fi News.

Submotion Orchestra - Thinking (Radio Edit) Clip

Pre-Order Here - http://bit.ly/CRIT068 
At the start of 2012 Sabre, Stray and Halogenix teamed up to drop one of the most blissful pieces of drum & bass that year, ‘Oblique’. Since then the dreamteam have continued their late night studio sessions and are now ready to announce their new collaborative project, Ivy Lab. Kicking off Critical’s 2013 season is the first fruit of their labour, ‘Afterthought’, again featuring the esteemed vocal talents of Frank Carter III to create the most inspired start to the year we could wish for.

‘Afterthought’ is a masterpiece filled with polished breaks, melancholic chords, reversed strings and Carter’s unmistakable heart wrenching sounds that draw us into the spine-tingling production, coming as an Ivy Lab standard. A late night marcher or a summers day soother, the choice is yours for the most beautiful, teary-eyed slice of drum & bass you’ll have heard in a long time. Quality through and through.

‘Brat’ on the other hand shows the other side to Ivy Lab as the guys get aggy at the controls for a supremely sick peak-time performer. Creeping bleep FX open it up as the b-line seeps into the mix for a drop into some proper dance floor funk. Meticulous on the edits and the morphing bass, it’s a dirty yin to the A-side’s yang.

Included in the package is a Digital Exclusive remix of 'Brat' by South London Ordnance
