http://www.dnbshare.com/download/Lenzman_Dan_Stezo_-_The_Soul_Tape.mp3.html

When was the last time you listened to an actual ‘mixtape’? You probably think of one of the many mixes inhabiting our digital social spheres, which you might give a quick click or a fast listen. Dutch Drum and Bass connoisseurs Lenzman & Dan Stezo go back in time with the launch of their ‘Soul Tape’, an actual 60 minute cassette tape meant for the discerning Drum and Bass lover.

The Soul Tape is a limited give-away. The hand-crafted package comes in a hard-cover box, with additional T-shirt and a variety of stickers - all with custom artwork by Team Blazin'. Besides that The Soul Tape is a ‘cool’ and fresh (but hyper-traditional) take on the mix-format, it stems from Lenzman and Dan Stezo's 90s ritual of making Hiphop tapes for each other in school.

The Soul Tape exhibits tracks from the world’s finest Drum and Bass artists, blended by Lenzman with Dan Stezo’s narrative slang and distinct voice-over. As a combination they have worked together since 2003, and recently increased their collaborative spirit both on stage and on record. 2014 saw their first release ‘Move & Focus’ together as a combination on the esteemed Metalheadz imprint as part of Lenzman's debut album 'Looking At The Stars.

Lenzman’s tremendous success in his genre and his tour the force around the world doesn't keep him from maintaining a close circle. Long time confidant Team Blazin' adds the artwork in the form of handwritten calligraphy which articulates the Hiphop aesthetics, the three artists’ connecting factor and their shared stylistic background.

The Soul Tape is not for sale, as it is an initiative out of love for the craft, the music and their heritage. The 50 limited edition tapes will be given away to fans over a period of time. As it's holiday season, starting with 10 units via a Facebook “Share to Win” competition. Head over to the Metalheadz Facebook page and you might win a copy of The Soul Tape.

Lenzman quote:
“When we were kids growing up it was all about tapes. It was a time where music was hard to come by and albums were played from start to finish, over and over... It was also a time where we made mixtapes for each other, recorded off CD, radio, whatever. Back then it was Hiphop. We are taking that aesthetics and giving you a piece of nostalgia which celebrates the love for our craft. We've made you a mixtape. This time it's not Hiphop but Drum and Bass music. This a hard-crafted package: 50 slices of nostalgia. Inside you will find a 60 minute tape, mixed and hosted by Lenzman and Dan Stezo. A t-shirt, a variety of stickers (Lenzman, Dan Stezo, Team Blazin', Metalheadz, The Soul Tape) and all of it will have custom artwork by Team Blazin'.”

Solid Steel in association with Serato (8th May) This week we welcome Rob Booth for a special Houndstooth label mix and it's a return for Luke Vibert on Solid Steel with a crazy mash-up mix. You can also listen to his archive mixes from 2003 and 2007 on the new Solid Steel website, plus his mix as Wagon Christ from 2001. http://www.solidsteel.net/

Rob Booth steps up in Hour 1 with a mix celebrating 2 years of the excellent Houndstooth record label, where he heads up A & R and he also runs the well respected Electronic explorations podcast. Another Falty DL Solid Steel intro starts the show and Rob had this to say about his mix;
“I wanted to present the mix in two parts, the Solid Steel way. The 1st half showcases repertoire primarily from the 1st eighteen months, no better way than starting with our inaugural record, the Present Tense 12” by Call Super, such an exciting artist culminating with his recent critically acclaimed debut album. Of course I also had to include a few tracks from the Soul Music LP, Paul Woolford’s Special Request moniker, especially the Hackney Parrot VIP, coupled with the polished jungle/techno experimentalism of Akkord and the 160bpm mosaic of Throwing Snow.
As the mix enters the 2nd half the emphasis moves to our latest signings, Berlin based Marquis Hawkes, Norwegian duo Soft as Snow and LA duo 18+, who’ve kept us busy this past year with the mix concluding with Jassy Graz on vocals, a personal favourite, was so good to see Ross and Jassy invited to Maida Vale LIVE for Radio 1. I can’t stress enough the privilege of being on SS, I’ve been archiving these shows for so long now”

DIFFERENT MUSIC PRESS RELEASE (DIFF011)

Artist: Arkaik
Title: Trauma EP
Label: Different
Release date: Mon 23rd Jan 2012

Tracklist:
A: Trauma
B: Headskill (feat. MC XL)
C: Vertebrae (feat. Jekyll)
D: Turncoat

“Leonard was kinda flat out for almost most of the winter of 2011, but for some reason the neck kept twitching. Meanwhile, back over in the UK, that sticky bass creator, Peter Arkaik was in the studio letting out his bad moods and stress relief over the EP project. The poor pink giraffe was almost traumatised by the renegade bassline's floating around on the halftime giraffestep track "Turncoat", so much that the on site veterinary nurse was rushed over to the diffrent HQ to deal with the matter. While in the studio, she noticed Leonard was getting shaken up quite a bit due to Jekyll constantly trying to get busy with Arkaik working to get the collaboration "Vertebrae" finished, while having MCXL throwing down all his toughest lyrics down to lay over the "Headskill" track. All in all, we could cut a long story short, and say this EP has been quite a TRAUMA"

You’ve only got to hear the name of this EP to know that Diffrent are going in dark for 2012.  Following the critically acclaimed ‘Laughing at Clouds’ by Frederic Robinson, Arkaik has stepped up for the next instalment of Diffrent’s distinctively bass heavy take on D&B with four deep, seismic-rupturing tunes. Arkaik has been making noise in the alternative D&B scene since his first release ‘Stress Relief/Second Bass’ dropped last year. With more releases forthcoming on Different, soon to be dropping release on Dispatch Ltd, and support from artists such as Amoss, Fathom Audio, AntTC1, DJ Script, Anile and many more, he’s certain to secure this reputation further.    

True to the Diffrent ethos of not releasing “Soul-less D&B music that has to sell”, this is far from run of the mill jump-up; there is as much food for thought as there is for the club in this EP.  

The title track ‘Trauma’ erupts from dreamy synths into a punchy system-smasher replete with metallic stabs and rolling subs, a perfectly balanced symphony of restrained aggression.  Next up ‘Headskill’ featuring MC XL takes another direction, and the synergy of producer and MC is refreshingly evident in a meticulously arranged D&B assault that promises to ‘make you rush like the finest blow’.   Keeping the momentum, ‘Vertebrae’ ft Jekyll is a massive blend of spinal trauma inducing sub-pressure and razor-sharp technical’s that shimmer out of the menacing bass weight like submerged sonars.  Rounding off the EP is ‘Turncoat’, and here the halfstep feel and multi-faceted, snarling bass oscillations clearly demonstrate Arkaik’s innovative, experimental approach to D&B. Enough said.

Thanks; Arkaik, Dexta, Example Media,, Hunchbak,,Jekyll, Joban Thomas, MC XL & ST Holdings

Detail Recordings's second release '433' is a dnb football anthem shocker! Lynx & Hellrazor's take on a football anthem is very different to the normal 3 note beer swilling sing along. Opting for an African tribal number, cleverly using football clap rhythms for that familiar football sound. There's echos of Lynx's hit Disco Dodo in there - with all the atmosphere of a world cup final! OUT VERY SOON - DIGITAL ONLY!

Seba - Nightrider (Technicolour & Komatic Remix) (AVAILABLE NOW)

Forbidden Fruit 
To paint a picture of this track it would be fair to say Raiden channeled the ghost of Les Baxter got him in the studio. The exoctica of Mr Baxter is married with Raidens bass work. Subtle but yet weighty and prominant enough for dancefloors. The track is the deep blue unknown- keys twinkle in the track like tropical fish speeding past coral. Theres a famous description of how people took in Baxters music "Listeners were able to stroll around some taboo emotions, view a pagan ceremony, go wild in the sun or conjure a demon, all without leaving home hi-fi comforts" The same can be said for Raidens 'Forbidden Fruit' - A journey through some very different landscapes.
