Natural Forces returns to Dispatch Recordings for a 6 track EP full of his unique take on minimal funk. The ‘Fragments EP’ is Natural Forces at his best - each track is packed with soul and emotion, a deep, richness that runs throughout this exceptional release.

Title track ‘Fragments’ combines all of these elements perfectly, progressing through minimal rolling bass and emotive harmonics, setting the tone for the whole of EP. ‘Zero Hour’ is an experimental journey through tense and looming bass stabs, taking influence from the legendary Noisia for the track’s distinctive hook.  

The vocal throwbacks of ‘Motion’ continues the minimal soul and the pitch bent strings of ‘Submarine’ give a nod to the many influential early Goldie productions. ‘Sacred Ground’ is perhaps the most minimal track on the EP, making great use of frequency shifted mid bass and vocal cuts. 

‘Divine’ completes the EP with deep, musical emotion led by crisp drum work and nostalgic progression. Channelling another huge influence of his, this one is inspired by Natural Forces’ love of the classic Photek sound.

Australia has paved itself as one of many microcosms for the wider drum & bass scene, something which hasn’t gone unnoticed by defining label Viper Recordings. After debuting their EP ‘Wizards of Aus’ throughout the last few months, featuring some of the best talent from that region, they now return alongside two of its counterparts. Blaine Stranger and Solomon France this time pulled together their individual skill sets for an explosive collaboration that marks another groundbreaking single under the Viper Recordings stamp. Both hailing from Australia, they continue their country's legacy under its banner with the sonic prowess of forthcoming record ‘Rewind’ ft. Venjent.

Venjent enters the mix with euphoric, lifting vocals as Blaine Stranger and Solomon France add a thumping undercurrent of ruminating bass. A perfect festival stomper, it’s a track to take you into the sunset on mainstages across continents. Another addition to the Australian and Viper Recordings connection, with more to come from its roster.
