Pre Order!

Ivy Lab & Hydro - Make It Clear (Ft. Frank Carter III & Lucy Annika)

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.

After a brief hiatus one of the most feared twosomes in drum n bass are back again and as menacing as usual. Creeper drives with unmistakeable force across its 5 or so minutes. The effervescent trademarks are all still present and correct and it’s like they never left. Phantom Audio forever.

Digital & Spirit - Creeper

'My Tearz' features on the first vinyl sampler for Lenzman's forthcoming album 'Looking At The Stars'

Steo may well be one of the best singers we have in the game right now. His falsetto glides over rugged plains on My Tearz. His range is wide and the level of soul he brings to a track is unmatched. The beat is a slight departure for Lenzman in that beauty is put on the shelf and grimy is the order of the day with midrange bass and stepping drums working out against Steo’s vocals.

My Tearz feat. Steo

Metalheadz Platinum is back with a debut from drum n bass finest newcomer Xtrah with tracks ‘No Good’ and ‘Directive’ alongside Headz crew member and co-conspirator Mikal.

‘No Good’ sees Xtrah fusing his musical leanings with his technical prowess. The intro is awash with atmosphere and much scene setting, eventually giving way to the vocal refrain that sums up the vibe of the track very well - Its about the dark nature of beauty and everything this  entails. The track concerns itself with dark atmospheres and soulful tones, showing an unseen maturity to Xtrah’s production.

Storm, Ink & Randall - The Metalheadz show on Rinse FM 21.05.14

Featured on the second sampler for Lenzman's début LP 'Looking At The Stars'... label mate and real life mate Jubei puts his firm stamp on Lenzman’s 'Empty Promise', The original was a big track for Lenzman and Jubei has taken it by the scruff of the neck and created something all his own whilst keeping the beauty/ beast vibe of the original. 

Empty Promise Feat. Steo (Jubei Remix)

Taking the Bassic podcast into the Summer months, Mako brings us a live mix to prepare us for some of his strongest releases to date over the next few. 

Following the long awaited release of "Old Soul" w/ DLR & Fields, he has two fantastic EPs in quick succession; for Metalheadz LTD on 23rd June "The Truthseekers EP" and another for Dispatch on 7th July "Back To The Source EP"

As his Utopia imprint continues to grow, retaining an impeccable degree of quality control, Mako's release schedule remains impressive right to the end of the year, with releases on Symmetry, Warm Coms, Horizons, CIA, plus a collaborative album with DLR on the way for Metalheadz. One of our mostly hotly tipped artists for the rest of 2014, the best is yet to come from Mako

Bassic Mix #7 - Mako

Mako has his first full outing for the Headz camp via METH XX. Meth XX is the fertile breeding ground for new Metalheadz artists that gives them a chance for to express themselves with the music they are making right now.
Enter Mako.

'Tell Me Something' was first aired by Goldie high up in the London skies for the Metalheadz X Red Bull London Eye event and instantly rewound. The track takes a creative drum pattern and edges forward with mutant bass and space age pads very much reminding of bygone Headz tracks, breaks and edits keep the track popping through its course.



Mako - Tell Me Something feat. Detail

Lenzman launches his debut album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on the seminal London-based imprint Metalheadz.

The debut album ‘Looking At The Stars’ arrives with all the aplomb you would expect from the Dutch producer. He has taken time over this project and the results reflect this. The long player solidifies the Lenzman sound you have come to love and edges it forward into new realms of production and style.

In lenzmans own words: “Dan Stezo has been my homeboy since day dot” and the pairing between the two is cemented by a shared love for hip hop that is very evident on this track, Stezo’s distinctive low slung vocal adds huge character to Lenzman’s production on the track.

Move & Focus feat. Dan Stezo

Across June 2014 Lenzman launches his début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on the seminal London-based imprint Metalheadz.

The début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ arrives with all the aplomb you would expect from the Dutch producer. He has taken time over this project and the results reflect this. The long player solidifies the Lenzman sound you have come to love and edges it forward into new realms of production and style.

Burner is Lenzman’s ode to jungle with its stepping drums and rolling subs, its set against a backdrop of introspective pads and atmosphere that switch into gritty bass stabs and vox, just enough aggression to get you screwfacing. 

Burner

Available as two different ultra limited boxed set vinyls from the Metalheadz store at:

First heard on the infamous Metalheadz Christmas Podcast, this one caused mayhem when aired by Goldie.  In typical dub style the ends are left untied and the track is all the more funky for it. Dom’s drum shuffle execution is unrelenting - a true VIP wrapping up Dom’s closest foray into Jamaica for a very long time. 

Dom & Roland - Outta Endz VIP

Mako has his first full outing for the Headz camp via METH XX. Meth XX is the fertile breeding ground for new Metalheadz artists that gives them a chance for to express themselves with the music they are making right now.
Enter Mako.

'Gully' is exactly that, gully. It’s an exercise in how to get a dancefloor moving, contorted bass, big stepping drums. Great for DJ’s and dancers - kept interesting and even changing its step at the very end of the track showing an attention to detail  sadly missing in this day and age.



Mako - The Gully (feat Sine)

Nucleus & Paradox on Metalheadz Platinum…a welcome collaboration

The A side is a darkside monster, centred around the pairs breakbeat and sub bass mantra. This time they go for a classic think break roll out, stepped out to perfection. The track is underpinned by a menacing rave stab. To put it simply - exactly what you would expect of Nucleus and Paradox on Headz

Nucleus & Paradox - The Return Of...

Available as two different ultra limited boxed set vinyls from the Metalheadz store at:

This time Dom leaves the 2 step drop out completely as he goes in with more subs, more kicks and more dub FX. The best way to describe this VIP is the wild nature of Scratch Perry channelled through Dom’s engineering skills for the benefit of 4am London. Is that a Sleng Teng bass re-edit we can hear too?

Dom & Roland - Unofficial Jah VIP

from 1997(!!) - all-time classic, from a great dnb-period....

Source Direct - The Cult (The Initiation Test) (2015 Remaster)

Another foundation release via Metalheadz, remastered for 2015 and beyond. Alex Reece had such an individual sound musical and still rugged enough for the dancefloor- he really was in a league of his own and this track just proves it

Available here

Alex Reece - Basic Principles (Alex Reece Reprieve) (2015 Remaster)

BUY: https://shop.metalheadz.co.uk/download/met003rd

Dillinja rolls out Basic Principles in a marching, stepping fashion. Clever edits roll the track along very nicely whilst the 808 bass propels the track into undoubted Dillinja territory.
