L Plus – Speed of Light / Carbon [Technique Recordings]
PreOrder smarturl.it/TECH111
Release Date: 16th November 2014
Everyone knows what L Plus can do. If you're not quite with the programme yet, we're talking expertly-designed layers of synth, thousand-horsepower basslines and iron fist drums. All that, constructed with a rare combination of elegant musicality and a strictly party-hyping attitude. Got that now? OK, let's get into this.

“Speed of Light” goes first, setting the scene with a typically wide-open cosmic intro. Melodic arpeggiated figures filter in and around their own reverb, until shocked into submission by the sudden arrival of an insistent bass tone marking out the half-beats. This double-time assault builds to a drop which shows the dancefloor exactly what L Plus is up to. He's taken a classic walking bass pattern and used subtle modulations and precision-engineered drum sounds to make every offbeat pop and crackle with its own extra burst of energy. Simultaneously a production masterclass and a tune to spark the laziest rave into action.

Then “Carbon” turns the page to the next chapter of the same story. Going straight in with the bass pattern right from the top, this one shares DNA with some of the funkier techstep from around the turn of the millennium. It's all about the targeted deployment of builds and fills which somehow continue to deliver a new surge of high-power bass and drum each and every time. With only a few perfectly-crafted elements in play, L Plus manages to conjure up a sound that's contemporary yet classic. This is 2014 dance music, but made by a true head that recognises the heritage.

So this is where L Plus shows a new facet to his sound. As well as delivering stadium-size harmonies and heart-palpitating builds, he can also take things a shade rawer and provide some rhythm-section funk too. And he can do that without sacrificing any of the musicality or production quality he's known for. With another weapon in his armoury, this Bratislavan badman's even more dangerous.

L Plus - Carbon [Technique Recordings]

Zardonic “Pure gold!” 
Peshay “Great release!!! All mixes banging!!! Very nice” 
Mindscape “Awesome!” 
Eddy Temple Morris “I like the musicality of Livewire's version” 
Teddy Killaz “Dope! thanks” 
Crissy Criss “Big” 

DJ Shortee “That Callide & Intraspekt beat is killa rude, also dig the Spirit Remix as well!” 
State of Mind “Heavyness” 

Optiv “Nice 1!” 



CMR001 takes the shape of a remix package of Overtake, from the man Coppa himself, featuring Adriana Hamilton. The first mix comes from the multi-talented Callide & Intraspekt. The remixers take the spirit of the tune, to keep strong and believe in everything you do, and add their unique, rave-busting  flavour.  The  intro will  draw you  i  n,  but  the  breaks  and synths  soon  drop,  adding weight  and  depth  to  the  already-huge  production.  The  clubs  will  lap  this  one  up,  as  Callide  & Intraspekt overcome any arguments with their heavy remix. 
Next up on the boards is Livewire, who takes things in a more liquid direction, bringing forward a piano line which fits perfectly under Coppa’s MC vocals and cut-ups of Adriana’s singing. The beats are rolling on this one, taking the track forward, heading straight for the heart and the mind. A real end-of-summer bubbler, Livewire brings something new and fresh out of the track as only he can  .
Lastly, Raise Spirit takes on the track, raising the bar once again, with a string-fuelled intro which morphs into some neat overdriven guitar. The bass is to the fore on Raise’s version, 
with  the  track  completed  with  a  major  headnodding  beat.  All  three  versions  are  going  to smash, so give them all a listen and choose your favourite. 

CMR001 is a major release from Coppa and Comanche, so get inside it and get Overtake

COPPA - OVERTAKE (RAISE SPIRIT REMIX)

Favela acesa! Segura o 150!
DJ, solta o tamborzão… vai!

Vai, novinha, vai!  Desce sem freio no baile
Vai, novinha, vai!  Quica no beat sem shy
Vai, novinha, vai!  Favela inteira no vibe
Vai, novinha, vai!  Sente a pressão do baile

No fluxo lotado, luz de rua piscando
Laje fervendo, bonde mandrake dançando
Copo na mão, sorriso cortando a noite
Beat bate forte, coração vira a fonte

Sobe a mão, desce o grave — 150 no talo
Bate lata, bate palma — hoje nada é raso

Vai novinha… vai no talento!
Desce devagar… perde o argumento
Sobe, gira… chama no movimento
Baile tá quente… ninguém tá lento

Corte na régua, drip do mtaa
Ritmo na pele, sem caô, sem parar
DJ chama o drop, “volta, volta” no mic
Quando o beat engata, todo mundo fica high

Eu digo favela! — FAVELA!
Eu digo mandrake! — MANDRAKE!
Eu digo sem medo! — SEM MEDO!
Então desce no grave!

Vai novinha… vai no talento!
Desce devagar… perde o argumento
Sobe, gira… chama no movimento
Baile tá quente… ninguém tá lento

Gira na pista, risca no chão
Hoje a laje é nossa, sem comparação
Olho no olho, vibração geral
Bonde fechado no ritual

Vai, novinha, vai!  Desce sem freio no baile
Vai, novinha, vai!  Quica no beat sem shy
Vai, novinha, vai!  Favela inteira no vibe
Vai, novinha, vai!  Sente a pressão do baile

É o 150 do morro — até o sol nascer!

Vai novinha

These days, the name L Plus on a release comes laden with expectations. There'll be expansive areas of soundscape harbouring rave-reverberating bass and precision-strike drums. There'll be detailed attention to musicality and a never-lapsing surge of energy. And if you've been checking shows from heavy-hitters like Friction recently, you'll know that this EP delivers on those expectations to the max.

“Jailbreak” is all about controlled aggression. A suspenseful chord pattern interspersed with drive-by shots of bass sets the scene. Then there's a multi-stage drop, first delivering us into a pressurised container of bass and kicks, before a further build leads us to the addition of punch-to-the-solar-plexus snares. This is heavy, heavy, unrelenting stuff.

And talking of heavy stuff, the next track is, aptly enough, “One Tonne of Bass”. A big room intro built from swirling atmospherics and wide sonorous sustained notes shimmers into view. Then the eponymous vocal sample signals a drop down into straight-up head-nodding grimy funk. Then L Plus keeps the heat rising as the bassline modulates to give each sixteen bars a character of its own. This is one to give the dancefloor a proper workout.

Then “Arcade” brings something for ravers to love and producers to envy. The chirps, bleeps and melodic patterns of eighties gaming are recreated and woven into twenty-first synthesis in a way we haven't quite heard before. It's a shoot 'em up between nostalgic stabs and ultra-modern bass and riffs which grows into a full on sonic war, and it's an addictive exultant joy. This is one that screams out to be pulled back and played from the top.

Things are a little darker in the dystopian city conjured up by “Snitch”. There's a technoid paranoia in the air, brought on by an approaching insurgency of low end. The drop provides no relief as sparse beats leave the bassline free to fill the space with interrogation-room oppression. With one eye always on the dancefloor, this is where L Plus proves his mastery of creating mood with music.

This EP proves why L Plus tunes are a constant fixture in the sets of well-informed DJs. Combining a rare technical proficiency with a well-honed musical and storytelling sensibility, plus a ruthless desire to smash parties everywhere, this producer is at the top of his game. This is creative rave music set to blaze on raves and airwaves alike.

In case you don't know, WAR is essentially the black ops division of Technique Recordings. The imprint only emerges from cover on rare occasions and, when it does, it always signals the delivery of a heavy payload of explosive dancefloor material. This particular mission demonstrates that the name Worldwide Audio Recordings is no idle boast. This unit has truly international credentials.



Then Ukraine's in the house, as MaxNRG's “50,000” rolls through. This one's the sound of a producer refusing to compromise on their quirky individual style. The pizzicato of the intro weaves into a progression of harmonic tones and the pitch-twisted vocal element that gives the track its name. Pop-and-lock drums and swathes of mid-range drive, punctuated with classic MPC-style hits give this an irresistible groove.
This EP shows off both the international and interconnected nature of the scene. Showing off musicality, technical expertise and the variety of individual takes on rave-aimed D&B,
“Cubic” provides an insight into the minds of some of the hottest producers from around the world. And it'll destroy some dancefloors in the process.

Luka Per aka Smooth was introduced to music at the age of 10, when he began to practice piano. After practicing for 3 years and later on he became more interested in guitar, also in such genres as metal, hardcore etc. When a couple of years passed by he attended his first drum n bass party and he was hooked!

After hearing ‘Under The Moon’ which would appear on Viper Recordings ‘Acts of Mad Men’ album, Smooth was signed to the label and later went onto release his first single ‘7th Sense’ / ‘Squirm’ (feat. KG) on Viper’s sister label, Viper VIP. Smooth is also one half of Telekinesis who recently made their debut on Breed 12 Inch label, as well as one third of City of Dogs, whose track ‘Absolutely Flawless’ was featured on Pendulum’s Radio1 Essential Mix. 

2011 was a breakout year for Smooth, starting off with the massive single 'Feel So Free' on Viper VIP, which was followed by 'Calling' and Smooth's absolutely immense remix of the Matrix & Futurebound classic 'Strength 2 Strength' on Viper's 'Worldwide 001' album. This was followed by two tracks on Viper's 'Summer Slammers 2011' album, with 'Want It' and 'Alienated' (as Telekinesis). 

Smooth has gained a legion of new followers over the course of 2012 with his massive ‘Blinded By The Light EP’ released in January which featured no less than seven essential cuts which showed the amazing range of the young producer. Busy on the remix front as well, Smooth has provided official remixes for smash hits such as Camo & Krooked – ‘Get Dirty’ (feat. TC) and Seven Lions – ‘Below Us’ (feat. Shaz Sparks), as well as the upcoming Matrix & Futurebound single ‘Magnetic Eyes’ (feat. Baby Blue) and Modestep’s new single ‘Another Day’.

Now ready to launch the next chapter of his career, Smooth has set his sights on working towards his debut album on Viper Recordings which will surely catapult him amongst the elite producers in drum and bass. Serving as the first album single, ‘Virgo Cluster’ is the perfect showcase of Smooth’s trademark anthemic dancefloor funk which he is becoming world renown for.
