HLZ has finally released his highly anticipated debut solo single on Utopia Music, and it's been a long time in the making.

For true drum & bass enthusiasts, HLZ's name should already be on your radar. He has been curating the purest form of D&B since 2009 for the real heads out there. These tracks offer creativity and integrity, pushing the boundaries of his own respected style within the genre and nodding to times past with a modern update.

The two-track 12" wastes no time in showcasing HLZ's intentions. "Black Core" kicks things off with its icy break workouts, featuring raw, rasping drums with an industrial edge. It's not a high-speed roller but rather a sneaky creeper that satisfies those who want intricate beats backed with nightmarish overtones.

With "Arcane," HLZ takes us on a journey of pure pressure in the way he knows best, stepping rhythms, stabbing yet gut-punching bass design, working in tandem with groovy tablas, clever fx builds, topped with lush euphoric pad work, 170 in the truest form. It's a distinct track that reveals the hidden magic of a B-side.

This release demonstrates why HLZ is a crucial figure in the genre and upholds the core values of D&B.

@holstenmusic marks his arrival with his debut 'All Talk EP' on Rupture LDN. 

Dark and menacing from the bass to the atmospherics, Holsten takes no prisoners with four tracks of dystopian pressure, including a collab with @overlookdnb (for his first return since 'Gumshoe' in 2015).

Essential selections for the late night warriors from Holsten, with tight breaks and swarming lows, without ever losing the groove.

The Iliads series has enabled us to return to the original sound of the label, and to explore the styles of our original artists. This third volume digs into the darker dystopian Hokusai sound, most notably with the 2 A-side tracks Beyond Measure & Papillon. The B-side track 'Listen With Intelligence' is an ode to the golden age of 1994-7 Atmospheric Jungle. The whole E.P. is vintage Odysee with rolling intricate breaks, deep sub-lines and a whole array of those trademark deep electronic & film-noire samples! 300 Clear 140gm Vinyls on their way as we speak:) Out end of September 2024
