Tomsize - Blow Your Speakers

The wait is over - PB4 is here. Perhaps one of the most revered album series in drum & bass is back with a vengeance, and some are saying it maybe the best yet. 

It’s hard to believe this is the debut track by Calibre on Metalheadz, and it’s already a firm dancefloor favourite thanks to its skipping drums and variants in bass. The drums have the unmistakeable Calibre air to them, the air that grabs you by the hips and demands you move and paired with the aforementioned screwface bass, it really is a foregone conclusion that you're going to move.

A: Homage (Back To You) feat. Stylus AA: Smash It  - OUT NOW

Staying true to his name, Stealth has craftily taken centre stage. Every record he's released oozing with sophistication has repeatedly stolen the spotlight. And this next one is no exception.
The production connoisseur yet again goes for the aural jugular, using ProgRAM as a launch pad. Stealth demonstrates the imprint's forward thinking movements and command of a genre which often goes unmatched. The relationship has been harmonious; alongside ProgRAM, he's already made a crater sized impact within the dnb community... And it's not difficult to see why.

'Homage' leads in a tightly fashioned intensity. Dark, brooding and with plucky percussion, it's a tribute to the sound Dillinja mastered. An instantly recognisable vocal sample is filtered through the record's menace, meandering perfectly between the bassline's thumps which eventually drop us into LFO-lead chaos. Piece by piece the main melody begins to build, throbbing until it completely over-takes the record's more humanistic elements. Audibly stocky, yet with a dimension that rings true of Stealth's icy production, it's a relentless roller with a nasty bite.

Next up, 'Smash It' still holds onto the merciless setting of its predecessor, but also offers something completely different. With a bristling rhythm that steps its way into a haunting crescendo, Stealth uses this break to highlight the track's imposing detail; it trickles, floods and then the dam breaks due to the build up's audible weight. Progressing deeper into the mix, the track is underpinned by quaking sub bass. An insistent kick and snap of drums merges against steeply elevating note loops, laying out Stealth's finely combed conundrum of complex yet hard hitting composition. Both 'Homage' and 'Smash It' receive the innovative-stamp of approval, playing on more contemporary elements but also delving deep into the 90s, promising both tracks remain timeless.

Stealth is pushing his influence into every corner, with his late night vibes commanding even the hardest of crowds. So, yet again, it's time to get with the ProgRAM, and succumb to one of the scene's biggest contenders.

01 Rise N Fall (dBridge Fall N Rise Remix)

Well this is my first jungle mix in over 14 years, to give you and idea of how long ago that was I think we had just started using mini discs & recording direct into the computer then. Truth told I've never done a drum n bass/jungle mix on anything other than a cassette tape, last one was 2001. That's how long it's been lol.

So this mix evolved strangely. The first three tracks (DJ Biggs/ SOHK) was a mix I remembered opening up with in a hall at my g/f's college at the time (around 2000?). She arranged some sort of rave and these kids had never heard jungle so …I remember seeing people rush out to the dancefloor and Sean (Goldenchild) MC'd for me that night and he was brocking out  so I guess I was doing my job. Always remembered those 3 tracks going well together. Hunter seems like and obvious opening track but strangely other than AWOL I never really have heard it out or on old mixes. I just heard it once on a pirate tape. Then it started out as me wanting to throw as many hoover/reese basslines as I could into one mix. I then realized that would get boring as it takes the power of that b-line away when overused. It then became just some tunes from 94-95 I really wanted all together in one place. You know how you seek out certain tunes on mixes? I just wanted them all in one place. Knowing I'd have to do this this myself if I ever was going to get them all together I was pretty nervous. I'm super super critical of my own mixing. So much so that I almost freeze myself from starting things. I only know how to mix using vinyl (so you will never hear anything but a vinyl mix from me), and I remembered back in the day it was pretty much one take- press record on the stereo and hope nothing goes wrong. These days Audacity makes it easier. I like that I now can pause and take a break from a long mix if I'm tired, hungry, or just not feeling it. I'm a mix and blend DJ so I love long mixes.. I had a hell of a time with the EQ record (as it's warped) and Trace's Babylon 2nd Remix has always given me fits with that long intro- but other than that I'm satisfied.

Anyhow here's the tracklisting. This mix is pretty rugged and raw. Don't get me wrong I like all drum n bass/jungle styles BUT I just wanted a mix of tunes that get me pumped up. This style is actually the closest to how I played out. I don't like to let up on people on a dancefloor- high energy- PURE vibes!

Oh and that pic of me is from spinning at the Frying Pan in NYC probably circa 2002? Strangely I still own that outfit (I mean really does a Fred Perry track jacket ever go out of style?) and tried it on the other night. I look exactly the same 13 years later... Must be the all the *ahem* preservatives in my body from back in the day
