When Tantrum Desire dropped the multi-dimensional “Diversified” LP in 2015, it seemed that we must have finally witnessed every facet of his sound. We'd seen the epic orchestration, the soulful depths, the gut-wrenching nastiness, and the straight up dance-bubblers. But then there were remixes, which took things even further. And now, somehow, there's a new EP which twists the TD style into yet more configurations, and this release gives us a glimpse.

“Ricochet” features the vocals of Laura Bayston, who last linked with Tantrum Desire on the big-room thunderclap of their track “Underground”. Once again, she delivers a soaring, emotive performance that draws us into the music over trip-hoppy atmospheric vibes and a hands-in-the-air chord sequence. And then, under-pinning it all, is a subtle arpeggio, which guides us through the harmonic changes and pulls us upwards until we're dropped into a sea of bass.

That bassline wraps around the tune enveloping it with warmth and power, while a typically-tough Tantrum Desire beat lays out the rhythm for the ravers. That arpeggio moves through the mix, taking us further on the journey into the sound, until extra layers of melody bring the vocal back around again. This is late night, float-away-on-a-cloud music, that will keep dancefloors deep in its thrall.

Bear in mind, this is just one track cut from Tantrum Desire's “Horizons” EP, but, even by itself, it leaves no doubt that we're listening to the product of assured mastery. To create the balance between banger and beauty is something not every producer is capable of, but it's intrinsic to the skyscraper-large TD sound. And you already know the rest of the EP will have even more to reveal.

About Modified Sonics:
To close out our 15th birthday year I thought it would be cool to ask the label family and some friends to remix tracks from the back catalogue as well as give new life in the form of VIP versions of favourite cuts. I’m really excited to share the results of everyone’s take on the music.

Out Now https://Technique.lnk.to/WeekendSo

From the intimacy of his residency at Derby's Interface night, to monumental festival shows, to the international acclaim of songwriting for popstars, Youngman's got it covered. And, recently, he's been revisiting his vocal drum 'n' bass roots to add an extra twist of innovation. The last time we saw him on Technique Recordings was with the multi-part release “Spinning”, where his vocal was interpreted three ways by three different production teams. Now, Youngman's latest single is here to show us what's next for this pioneering artist.

Youngman always injects a heavy dose of soul into his music. As subtle piano chords and warm pads set the scene of “Weekend”, his delicately emotion-charged vocal takes us into classic R&B territory. As the half-speed drums and electro-funk synth riff drop, this could easily be a forgotten classic from another era. It's a sophisticated, classy sound, the glint and polish of the production complementing Youngman's visceral delivery even as the track rises towards the inevitable energy-blast of the drop.

Powerful percussive bass drives the energy onwards as rolling and ever-building drums set the pace. But the key to this track's vibe is in those stabs and arpeggiated figures that cover the soundscape with sheer melodic silk. And this is one that deejays are going to want to keep running until the breakdown, when Youngman's plaintive vocal cuts back into the atmosphere like a razor, giving a moment of hands-in-the-air bliss before the the bass and beat kick back in.

This is another assured piece of DnB neo-soul from a writer-performer always at the forefront of vocal bass music. You might describe this particular release as “liquid”, but Youngman himself is always one step removed from pigeon-holes like that. Even as we skank out to this one, we can look forward to plenty more invention yet to come from this artist's studio.

Unglued - Bootstrap Bill (Rene LaVice BBC Radio 1)

2017 has been a big year so far for Vienna's main man DisasZt - renowned producer, owner of Mainframe
Recordings and head promoter behind one of Europe's largest recurring event series under the same
brand.
Not only is his latest collab release ('Stop' alongside Erb N Dub) currently inciting serious chaos on floors
worldwide. His recent productions have displayed a new level of versatility, with decent tunes such as
'Vogue' on Viper, and 'I Got U' (in collaboration with Brazil's Alibi) on V Recordings bringing deep vibes and
melodic sweetness to the table.
His upcoming release on Mainframe sees Disaszt shifting back to berzerk mode in style, with a crooked
“Disco Ninja” lurking behind the corner, ready to strike. All dirty analogue sounding and with tons of bass
line pressure, there'll be blood on the dance floor when its boomy drums hit the crowd - pure danger!
"Shorty" on the Flip side takes you down to the deeper realms of digital mystics. A stylistic cross-breed,
sounding future and retro alike, its snappy drums and bouncy bassline will make the fellas jump.

GrooveshakerZ - We're Coming Back Again (Subsonik VIP) Unreleased

Juno Write up - Destination Newcastle: northern newcomers Nectax and Skantia pair up to take a side each on their Dub Damage debut. Nectax takes the lead with Cypher, a sense-blurring groaner that tips a wry nod at the late 2000s Ram style with its width and gusto. Skantia follows with a rather trippy take on the Belgian jump up sound. Clipped and trimmed lasers cutting like razors and just the right amount of leftfield off-grid looseness to the groove, Lazer Defence lives up to its name in the most brutal way possible. Damagement.
