if I was a kid in a club in 1997, this is what I am dancing to

"Impressions from all over, joined together as one"

Over 2 years in the works, we can finally, and proudly, present the Leniz debut album: Perceptions of Reality.

Even though Leniz is still young and made his start when he was even younger, he's been to many places and has had a lot of experiences. Like many others, he's been through personal ups and downs. He achieved new goals and set new targets, met and said goodbye to people, places and chapters in his life. When writing this album, he took inspiration from all of these moments, creating a single comprehensive piece of work spanning several genres, moods and tempos. On top of that, there are several top-notch collaborations with Differential stalwarts such as Dustkey, Brainwork, and Rift, but also less familiar faces like Perspective Shift, Matt Freeman and Damzel.

The end result is an experience only available through pure expression and months and months of effort. Many words can be said about any of the tracks, but it's much better to take a moment and experience the album in full, as it was meant to be heard. Delve into the world of Leniz and experience his story whilst getting inspired yourself. Perceptions of Reality is guaranteed to take you on a journey and ignite your mind.

Leniz - Perceptions Of Reality LP [DFFRNTLP001]

Catalogue Number: ARX065

Architecture Recordings ARX065
Loomis 
 Dual Realities / Dual Realities (reprise)

Loomis returns to ARX base camp to deliver his trademark epic cinematic sound. Dual Realities visits the cosmos with a clear purpose and drive. Spacey snare snaps and deep retro strings reminiscent of soundscapes heard in the original sci -fi movies of the last century; cascade and merge with choppy precise break cuts that surge towards the outer regions of the unknown. The reprise takes a direct look into the eye of the blackhole, moving moods even further with its layered textures and sparse oversight. Another classic from an artist to keep a close look out for. A classy display of one of many Architecture Recording’s styles.

Leniz - Ill be There

On Cloudy Days Like These

The second chapter of Static and Strange’s musical narrative takes form through its next digital release, the No Legacy EP.

Diverging from their recent dancefloor output, Airstrike and Lyndon Jarr’s four track episode is an odyssey into deep cinematics, pad-driven aesthetics and progressive rolling synths, yet hardcoded with the energetic rhythm and low-end fury of their bass music roots.

If you are a fan of orchestral celluloid, immersive ambient and rich atmosphere, yet harbour a love of Drum & Bass, Garage and Halftime,` this release may find its way into your playlists and on repeat.

Our next release in early 2023 will be some proper club-ready dancefloor fodder. However, in the meantime, we hope you enjoy the sonics of the label's second release.

On the ultimate and final instalment of Bop’s ‘Untitled Patterns’ series, ‘Patterns I Have Known And Loved’, the master of moody and marvellous sonics takes an extraordinary voyage into the outskirts of electronic music and beyond, with this special edition release for Record Store Day 2019.

Available as a stunning 50/50 black and white split 12” vinyl, this rare cut is a testament to Med School and Bop, and their dedication to the exploration of drum & bass realms and beyond - a true collector's item.

Comprised of three brand new patterns and an equal number of personal favourites from the series, the Russian musical mastermind takes one last descend down the untitled path as his year-long journey reaches its finale.

New ‘Untitled Patterns’ 66, 68 and 69 see a more playful trip through the glitch inspired micro funk canvas, showcasing a variety of stripped back grooves crossing over to the realms of ambient, dub, footwork and techno.

Patterns I Have Known And Loved

Untitled Pattern 68

Out Now!

Bop - Untitled Pattern 68

I made this one back in 2008. It's supposed to be a flipside for my first ever vinyl record on Brand:Nu Recordings but unfortunately, the label stopped functioning before the release. Now it's finally out on our latest @MicrofunkMusic cassette 'Lost Dubs 3' alongside 9 bangers by Oak, Synkro, Hybris, Jason oS, Dissident, Akuratyde & Kharm, Elsewhere and Abstract Elements.

Full album is here: microfunk.fanlink.to/lostdubs3

------------------------------

The third edition of Microfunk Music’s coveted ‘Lost Dubs’ series is finally here. Featuring 10 rhythmic glitch patterns from the Russian labels usual suspects, you can expect compositions from Synkro, Oak, Hybris, Akuratyde, Dissident, Kharm, Jason oS and of course label boss Bop. The record will be available on all digital and streaming platforms after a week-long exclusive on Bandcamp and will be pressed to a limited run of 100 cassette tapes, which will not last long. With distinguished artwork courtesy of none other than the infamous Trickartt, this is truly a collectors item and not to be missed.

Many things slip through the sands of time, but thankfully these beautiful songs will know no such fate. The introductory ‘Time’ from Manchester's Synkro is laden with a hopeful sadness, as melancholic sonics reverberate beautifully from start to finish. You could be forgiven for thinking this may set the tone for the LP to come, but what follows is a compendium of beautifully crafted musical delights, as varied in character and constitution as the seasons themselves.

A frequent partner of Bop as both a performer and artist, Oak graces the imprint once more with a deep electro cut ‘The Bay’ and tells a down-tempo tale in ‘Airwalk’, which is available to download upon pre-ordering the full LP. Rampant in it’s sheer textural beauty, the likes of Elsewhere follow suit with an expansive and heart-fluttering take on the 170BPM tempo in the form of ‘Procession’. Things take a techy turn as Jason oS delivers an introspective stepper in his ‘Hidden State’, but not before Akuratyde and Kharm weave their own atmospheric wonder ‘Enamoured’.

Although never fearful of pushing the boundaries or confinements within the D&B universe, Microfunk Music remains true to the genre that inspired it with the likes of Hybris injecting his trademark sonics into a sublimely styled technoid roller. Abstract Elements keep things stepping in a similar vein with ‘Throb’, whilst St. Petersburg's very own Dissident enthralls the listener with their hypnotic addition ‘Bathyscaphe’.

Bop has the honour of bowing out the stunning album with a dub-techno pattern ‘In My Dreams’ that traverses the expansive audible palette that so often engulfs Microfunk Music. Incorporating a myriad of moods, the Lost Dubs compilation further cements Microfunk Music as one of the leading purveyors of electronic excellence.

Brace yourself for a profound journey outside the conventional D&B paradigm.

"Uncertainty clouding your view"

Differential proudly presents "Hazy"; a collaborative effort by Leniz, Perspective Shift and vocalist Matt Freeman, and the first single of Leniz' ambitious debut album. "Hazy" is a fresh take on what defined Leniz so far. His collaborative effort with Perspective Shift brings us a soothing, deep rolling track, with an airy soulful drumline. The vocals of Matt Freeman really bring the track alive, taking the established atmosphere up to 11.

Leniz (Querijn van Bijsterveldt), born in 2002, began writing music at the tender age of 12. Rather sooner, than later - he’s paving a way into the minds of an international audience. Through a diverse skillset, honed by interest and love for a wide spectrum of genres, Leniz already received recognition for his drum ‘n bass productions by labels like: Liquicity, Differential, Goldfat, Galacy, and Soulvent.
Another notable highlight? A DJ booking in London at the age of 16- quite an achievement for someone who’s barely old enough to fly alone! This lifelong dream of Leniz, rooted in his very first steps, gradually comes into fruition – marking the transition from a burning desire into reality. Rest assured there’s still a lot more to come

Soulful & Deep drum and bass with a twist. 

We strive to bring you the freshest soulful, liquid and deep drum and bass. With an emphasis on identity, progression and uniqueness, we stand for music that speaks, taking you on a journey and delivering lasting experiences.
