Title – Silhouette / Restless

A. ALIBI – Silhouette
AA. ALIBI – Restless

RELEASE DATE: 08/06/15

ALIBI is the combined effort of two of Brazil’s finest musical exports, DJ Chap & Level 2. Both individually respected and accomplished artists in their own right, with past releases on labels such as V Recordings and Innerground Records. The pair have now joined forces to form this brand new outfit. After sending us their first works under the new alias we picked two of their strongest tracks to present to the world as their debut release, Silhouette / Restless.

Silhouette is a silky smooth number with a deep edge. Catchy beats form the intro along with old skool sounding pads. Growling mid basses start to automate in towards the drop upon which we are treated to low subs and sublime vocal snippets.

On the flip we have Restless. A more of a bouncing affair here as ALIBI take us on a journey full of twisted bass, tightly produced beats and mystical soundscapes. 

Taking into account their past achievements as individual artists we strongly believe that this single is just the tip of the iceberg for ALIBI and we are proud to sign this new and exciting act!

Dispatch LTD returns with a follow up single from recent ‘Unbreakable EP’ artists Gerra & Stone, featuring the highly demanded reworks from their first two Dispatch releases, alongside another original track.

Returning to their debut on Dispatch, the already huge ‘Back Hand’ receives the remix treatment from ‘Seeing Sounds’ album artist DLR. The result, a chunky tech stomper, aptly named the ‘Dogbite Remix’ turning a dancefloor track into an entirely new beast altogether.

Following the incredible response from ‘Too Deep’, it felt only right we came correct with the VIP. Already hurting crowds’ right across UK & Europe, Gerra & Stone's mighty ‘Too Deep VIP’ brings it straight back into focus – a superb rework from the duo that will remain in the bag!

The final track is an original piece from the duo, ‘These Words’ concluding the single with soulful, early liquid vibes. Light chords and brass flashes dance amongst vocal echoes and technical glitches, all smoothly gelled together in signature Gerra & Stone style.

Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – PROX082
Artist – Co:Lateral
Title – South Coast Killers
A. Co:Lateral – Blue Grass
B. Co:Lateral – Front Street
C. Co:Lateral – Military 
D.Co:Lateral – South Coast Killers

RELEASE DATE: 23/05/16

In their debut outing with Proximity, Co:Lateral creates a storm with an EP that breaks down boundaries between styles of drum and bass. A unification of, steppy madness, MC led tracks, effortless clean bass, and classic hard hitting D&B, all under one roof. The Southampton based duo, comprised of Knauf & Joe Raygun, already have one release under their belt with Flexout Audio and are set to make it 2 in 2 with South Coast Killers EP. 
South Coast Killers begins dark and sombre and if anything lulls us into a false sense of security. It is rapidly followed by chaotic hype building, utilising the vocal hook that will recur throughout the track, and then silence. The drop certainly hits hard and by the time we reach the title track, we have been led very much astray from where we set out on our journey; this ones the stepper.
Front Street. Co:Lateral soon strip away any sense of peace by dropping us into hard territory, hip hop samples and a collage of bass notes lead the way and create a sense of being somewhere you’re not supposed to be.  
Darker still, and further of course; Military is a real banger. Distorted, MC heavy, and driven by an uncompromising low end, this track has all the components of a true dance-floor filler. The track shines most through its variety, consistently providing new avenues with which to explore. 
Ending the EP is the gentle Blue Grass, a true journey track, ever reminiscent of the stylings of Bukem. The mastery of the clean bass sound in Blue Grass is sublime, and the addition of brass instruments helps create an aura of wonder. The carefully placed stabs do run us slightly off of our journeys course, hinting at our final destination come the end of the EP. Mellow synthesisers are the guide for the next song on the EP, 
 South Coast Killers EP is an EP that spans so much of the Drum & Bass spectrum and could therefore be a fundamental piece of kit, with a track on it to suit any mood and any party.

Proximity Recordings

Genre – Drum & Bass  
Cat Number – PROX083
 Artist – Alpha Q 
Title – Abort Code EP

A. Alpha Q – Abort Code 
B. Alpha Q – Displaced 
 C. Alpha Q – The Realness 
D. Alpha Q – Long Pig

RELEASE DATE: 30/05/16

Keeping with the trend of 2016, we have another new artist with us at Proximity, with an EP that is set to cause huge waves in the scene. Alpha Q lets us in, exclusively, to his world, with Abort Code. It is an EP filled with ingenuity, originality and unique sounds. A top EP!

Euphoria is the byword as Abort Code opens up with its title track. There is a sense of gentle floating which soon gives way to realness, deep throbs and riddim vocal sample leading to choppy business of the best kind. As the track gets increasingly hectic the euphoric synths can be heard trying to resist, eventually winning over as it all subsides. 

The second coming of course turns out to be even harder than the first. A stylish opening to a stylish EP. As you move through to Displaced the energy really starts to pick up, as we’re hit with a flurry of kick drums. The track favours the traditional hard D&B style, it is a track that truly delivers. There is no way that this tune would not get people moving, a self-declaring banger. This is a rolly number that hits hard. 

When you reach The Realness you’re well past the halfway mark as the 3rd track on the EP opens with sounds that reverberate inside the skull in such a way that you feel lost in your own head. The drum beat itself is forward-thinking and strays from the traditional amen style driving the entirety of the track.

Our final outing with Alpha Q, Long Pig,  will drop you directly into in the deep end. This is what unchartered territory feels like, again a pioneering sound which revels in its uniqueness.

PROX083 - ALPHA Q - DISPLACED

PROX083 - ALPHA Q - THE REALNESS

Proximity Recordings
Genre – Drum & Bass 
Cat Number – PROX089
Artist – MVRK
Title – Pseudo / Shadow Walking

A.	Pseudo
AA. Shadow Walking

RELEASE DATE: 17/10/16

To be suitably brash, PROX089 sees MVRK stepping up and stepping in with two of the hardest hitting track you are likely to hear in 2016, one outright body twister and one subtle but unforgiving. With support from, giants of the game, Noisia, both Pseudo and Shadow Walking on the flip emanate purity and filth.

Taking each as they come, Pseudo creates a sense of nervous energy from the outset; next to no rollout of the ambience before a change of direction with a hard hitting drum beat. When reaching the drop the sense of release of all the built energy is tantalisingly held back. We have the sounds of a beast straining for release, and MVRK expertly keep hold of the reins. This is one for a big rig and tearing up the dancefloor.

Second, but by no means second best, is Shadow Walking, and instead revels in its ambience, which goes on to  paint an aural mirage alongside hard-line bass stabs. The main body of the track is no different, a low end piece of aggression.

25th release was prepared for us by @Theoretical_dnb - a project from Saint-Petersburg. These two guys are young and ambitious, but because of their variety of styles inside drum&bass, they do successfully supply many podcasts and radioshows with their tunes. Now they have prepared 4 energetic tunes for Citate Forms. Each one, we believe, will find its listeners.

Title – Start From The Basics EP

A.	 	MVRK - Blizzard Buff
AA. 		MVRK - Start From The Basics
AAA.  	MVRK & Kronom - Inferno 
AAAA. 	MVRK - Come Down To Us 

RELEASE DATE: 21/04/2017

With another successful year down, Proximity is kicking off the year in style, with MVRK serving up an EP that truly says we’re back. Start From The Basics EP opens in true rave style, a pure, unrelenting, up-front drum and bass tune. The tight drum rolls of Blizzard Buff ride on an unrelenting bassline, in a track that’s sure to set any dancefloor on fire.

The  title track doesn’t hold back either; a beautifully produced tune, with ethereal voices and drums littering to get lost in throughout the introduction. The drop holds true to the EP style, throwing you straight into snare city; in a frantic collection of drums. Start From The Basics, really sets itself above, however, with its middle breakdown, drawing on soul vocals and ghostly landscaping, before falling away into a nice tidy roller.

Taking the top spot for dark horse of the batch, MVRK & Kronom’s Inferno takes you grooving and shaking through a hex, with the subtle melodies that truly place you in the aural uncanny valley. When Inferno has been and gone, you’ll be left for a long time wondering how those familiar, but ultimately unfriendly, sounds were made.

Come Down To Us, seems at first to take a more laid back approach to the dance, but it is driven by that same signature rolling bassline which fills the track with energy. As a result you find yourself suspended in a limbo of movement through the track intro, one half getting ready chill into a beanbag and the other getting ready to pop-off. Make no mistakes though, the drop makes sure you’re moving.
