--General digi release, 5/26

Celebrating all that is innovative, modern, and weird about contemporary bass music, Translation proudly presents the 'Simon Says' EP from Hidden Turn. On his debut, Hidden Turn seamlessly intertwines shadowy cinematics with playful half-time beats to magnificent effect, delivering four diverse tracks that offer a taste of things to come from this talented new artist. Kicking things off on an exploratory tip, ‘Simon’ is a sample-laden journey down an eerily dark, yet beautiful path that evokes a range of imagery as it proceeds. Next, ‘Binary’ rolls through generous sections of robotic future funk, pausing just long enough for an unexpected breakdown of blissful, angelic pads, and ethereal vocal samples. It’s a full-on bass meltdown on ‘Champion Change’ as heavyweight 808s boom along to an array of meticulously chopped percussive elements, and a breathtakingly lush vocal that carries the vibe to new heights. Rounding things out is ‘What’s Going On,’ a striking juxtaposition of Eastern strings and serious deep bass pressure destined to wreck any sound system. Fully capable of smashing the dance, while simultaneously demanding attention from even the most discerning of listeners, Hidden Turn’s ‘Simon Says’ EP is an intelligent salute to those seeking a genuinely fresh outlook on the 170 BPM sound.

Ahmad - Intaference LP (ARXLP004)  - Release Date – 16th Feb 2015
After a number of well received remixes and collaborations, Architecture reveals the ace they have quietly been keeping stashed up their sleeve,  the debut artist album from Ahmad.  Little is known about this mysterious new producer other than the music he puts out.  Shrouded in anonymity, social media profile free, Ahmad makes his presence felt where it matters, on the dance floor.
The "Interference" LP marks a statement of intent from Ahmad, putting Drum & Bass on notice that a new, faceless talent has arrived to impose his sparse, echo chambered audio vision on the scene.  Channeling the sonic tradition of Photek with the spine tingling brooding darkness of a Space Odyssey, Ahmad turns in 11 cuts of futuristic, 170 bpm cosmic dub, designed to help your conscience drift away to a higher plane
All the tracks feature Ahmad's take on the minimal, kick drum led tribal stomp that has been captivating the drum & Bass realm recently, but peppered with his own distinctively adept sense of percussive texture and tension building atmospherics.  Reverberated rim shots, wood blocks, metallic crashes and samurai drums woven throughout the body of work give each track a unique rhythmic variation, making the tracks equally as engaging listening on headphones as they are on a large rig, where their punishing low frequency hum will churn out your belly.  Slight nods to Jungle's heritage creep their smoked out  heads through the beats as the faintest chops of classic breaks make perfectly timed appearances, while dubbed out vocal snips evoke screwface  gun finger signals to the sky, acting as a balance to the constant head nod sway.  The collaborations on this album represent a who's who of Ahmad's influences and contemporaries as Loxy, Gremlinz, Genotype, Kobra and Mental Forces all make multiple appearances,  creating a truly all star project for fans of the brand of forward moving Drum & Bass that Architecture Recordings and these artist's all stand at the forefront of.  A truly inspiring collection from an artist who is only just beginning to hit his stride.  Make sure that you keep the name "Ahmad" right at the top of your list of producers to buy on sight.
