ANDY C - Nightlife 6 - OUT NOW - http://po.st/Nightlife6iTunes

It’s time to unleash the beast! Ladies and gentlemen, Ram Records are proud to present ‘Nightlife 6’… Andy C’s largest ever mix release. 

Celebrating over 100 sounds from the scene’s most exciting, on-point precision producers across three CDs, Andy has pushed the ‘Nightlife’ boundaries to untold levels. And here are just a handful of examples of the future-fired sounds you’ll hear within. A massive two-part release, the ‘Nightlife 6’ EPs highlight a small selection of the killer sounds Andy’s curated for the sixth instalment of his unarguably authoritative mix brand. 

Hive’s ‘Neo’ already has a special place in ‘Nightlife’ legend: it appeared on Andy’s debut mix. Rebooted by none other than Audio, it’s been updated with cutlass clarity. Beautifully brutal, heroically heavyweight: Audio never, ever disappoints. 

‘Misfits’ is a tag-team tear-up from Ram-signees June Miller and their regular partner in crime Nymfo. Icy angularities abound as we launch with a spooked out lead melody that drops us headfirst into a gnarly, spiked out bass riff and a sharp steppy riddim. 

Unknown Error provides the lush contrast every ‘Nightlife’ mix is famed for. Soul-laden from its ignition, Janine Small’s emphatic vocals cut through the jazz-minded chords with stunning effect. Propelled by some stunning drum sounds and gorgeous piano work, you can file this one under timeless. 

Xtrah completes this first instalment with a bona fide hurter; whether it’s the rushy vocal and hardcore twinkles of the intro that hits you hardest or his incredible attention to detail on the percussive groove, this sums up why Xtrah has achieved the spotless scene status he’s achieved in such a short time. 

Four dynamite D&B workouts from some of the most exciting names in drum & bass right now, this is a seriously big EP… Now hold tight for ‘Nightlife 6’ EP Part II!

RAMM154 - June Miller - Empathy / Operation Ivy - out Sunday 12th - pre-order http://po.st/JMEmpathyOpIvyiT

Few acts showcase drum & bass’s exciting creative scope with the same skillish vibrancy as June Miller. 

Since signing to Ram Records a year ago, the Dutch/Anglo duo have locked themselves away in their Utrecht HQ working on a series of mindblowing creations. Deep in sonic solitude, they’ve pushed themselves to whole new levels… As proved by the stunning ‘Empathy’ and ‘Operation Ivy’. Both pivotal tracks on Andy C’s explosively extensive ‘Nightlife 6’ opus, these cuts represent June Miller’s chiselled production skills like never before. 

We kick off with ‘Empathy’. Igniting with a surging sense of soul, the unity of timeless synths and spellbinding vocals set a smouldering scene that’s suddenly shattered into gnarled fragments when the drop lands. An overwhelming bass riff scuffs across the blistering breakbeats to create a thunderous groove. Instant riot material, this has been tried and tested by Andy C since the summer, each airing causing unparalleled commotion in its wake. 

‘Operation Ivy’ complements the carnage perfectly. A jittering, snake-like roller with deep funk coded into every element, everything about this pristine precision piece is designed to get the floor wriggling. From the crisp digi slap bass to the strident, spacious drum dynamics and textured rhythmic stabs, this is an impeccable example of how measured and meticulous drum & bass production standards are when they’re in the right hands. 

Two outstanding cuts from one of the scene’s most forward-thinking, accomplished acts, two representations of how far-reaching and creative drum & bass can be: June Miller have an incredible year ahead of them. And it starts right here.

Dimension - Move Faster

DnB Mix 2015

Drum & bass stalwarts Black Sun Empire are to follow up a trio of recent EPs from The Upbeats, Neonlight and Pythius with the release of ‘Until The World Ends’ - a five-track, collaborative EP with NZ duo State Of Mind. To be released on January 26th via their genre-defining Blackout imprint, it marks an exciting start to 2015.

Lead track ‘Ego’ immediately sets the tone with growling bass lines and punchy synth-stabs that underpin dark, techy atmospherics and vocal loops.

Second track ‘Until The World Ends’ proves once again both acts’ enduring versatility - kicking off with a bass-heavy dubstep tones complimented by vocal duties from State Of Mind’s fellow New Zealander PNC, before

switching to a manic, intelligently structured groove for the remainder.

‘Bad’ opens with progressive percussion and softly-worked synths that move euphorically to a pounding drum break, whilst fourth track ‘Jack Nicholson’, featuring an imitable sample of the man himself, is a bass-fuelled shockwave of a track. Final track.

‘Moonbox’ closes the EP in true Blackout fashion, with signature frenetic beats and firing drums rounding off proceedings in style.

Black Sun Empire have built a reputation for curating their own brand of dark, neurofunk-inspired drum & bass over the past 12 months and this collaboration with long term accomplices State Of Mind - whom released their latest album ‘Eat The Rich’ via the label earlier this year - feeds into the hype surrounding Blackout as the label looks ahead to 2015.

Tracklist: 
01 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind feat. PNC - Until The World Ends 
02 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Bad 
03 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Ego 
04 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Jack Nicholson 
05 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Moonbox

"In time for the summer solstice later this month, two rising electro-soul stars have come together to create a phenomenal track for these lazy summer days. Pittsburgh's Derlee and Pacific Northwest duo WillDaBeast (Will Glazier and Dan de Lisle) have crafted a massive tune to engage the spirit and lift the soul.

WillDaBeast has picked up a few things in its tenure in the Michal Menert Big Band. Derlee ain't no slouch either, putting out a brand new release on Philos Records later this month. "Summer SOUL-stice" packs plenty of punch, but isn't overbearing in any way. Together, the combination of sultry horns, reverb-soaked soul, and blistering bass makes for a triumphant in summer jam sounds." - @TheUntz.com

Ed:it - Centre Suite

After a ten year wait, Klone, one half the mighty returns to Rascal and Klone makes his long awaited return to the Neurofunk scene - and it’s like he never left. Beginning with an arpeggio that draws you into a dystopian soundscape, Oblivion transforms in a chugging monster. Featuring dark, deep bass reese notes that pull you through the speakers, and a chugging sub-bass, Oblivion is relentless. Add atmospheric synths and a hard-hitting drum beat, and Oblivion was worth the wait.

15 Years of Technique – Summer Selection Album
PreOrder smarturl.it/TECH007CD

It's sunshine time again. The time when we need a new D&B soundtrack to score our festivals, carnivals, pool parties and barbecues. And you'd struggle to find anyone better qualified to curate that soundtrack than Technique's bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith. Just a quick glance at their immense back catalogue of anthemic releases or their packed international bookings diary is enough to demonstrate that they know exactly how to bring those summertime vibes.

Things kick off in suitably monumental fashion with a cut from the head honchos themselves, “I Need Somebody”. If you were looking out from a festival stage at a sea of excited hands in the air, this tune's searing vocal hook and unrelenting waves of bass would suit that scene perfectly. And, of course, this album contains a lethal dosage of similarly colossal tracks. For example, MaxNRG enlists a quirky vocal from Marianna to boost the hype-levels on “Headshot” and recent signing Kronology delivers the driving and euphoric “Untouchable”. Plus, there are some sizeable contributions to the big-room roll call from a few names you won't have seen on Technique before, like Oder's “Closer” and T-Phonic & Deadman's “Show Me the Way”.

But summer's not all about the shades-on daytime raving, we need some choice sunset material too for when things get a little darker. Document One and Spectrem exemplify this beautifully with the laid-back and jazzy “Falling” and the Kyphosis-laced “Fade” respectively. Helsinki's liquid maestros LAOS pass through to drop “City Lights” and “Belong”, and Tantrum Desire treats us to the effervescent “Sea Breeze”. For when things get darker still, there are tracks like the technoid, percussive world-unto-itself of Salaryman & Dark Machine's “Night Shift”. Guys like Conspire and Brian Brainstorm bring some full-on jungle, and the whole compilation is peppered with alternative sounds like Digital's dub workout “Groove Together”.

The thirty-one tracks here represent a cross-section of the mighty, multi-stranded, multi-form D&B scene and what it can do for summer 2015. There are names you'll know and names you might not know yet. There are huge mainstream anthems and shadow-bound subtleties. There are tunes for midday and tunes for four in the morning. And for four in the afternoon the next day. Ultimately, this isn't the sound of the summer, this is all the many different sounds of the summer put together on one album. So, the soundtrack's sorted, time to go out and have a summertime that's worthy of it!

No strangers to the bass game, the Anglo-Dutch dynamos have already amassed a major fanbase thanks to their uncompromising production skills and penchant for dark, gritty grooves on  well respected labels such as Horizons, Critical and Nu Directions. Their Ram relationship is already in place with the release of their previous club stunner ’64 Thousand Dollar Habit’ this time last year. Now it’s time to consolidate that with a full signing and big plans for the future. 

This is what label boss Andy C has to say:
  
“June Miller are not messing around! Their production is unreal… Laser guided precision and disgusting bass; their tunes are destroying clubs! We’re very proud to have them on board. Get ready!”

June Miller
From Autumn To Ashes / Change Feat. Sofie Letitre

What an entrance! Cementing their exclusive signing with Ram Records, Dutch/Anglo duo June Miller have delivered two of their deadliest weapons to date for their debut single. This is no mean feat; with a career that includes well respected labels such as Horizons, Commercial Suicide, DSM and Rubik, June Miller’s track record is spotless… And now it’s about to go next level

‘From Autumn To Ashes’ is truly unique. A word that’s far too overused in dance music, this really is one of a kind; and you’ll understand that the moment those crisp guitar plucks bid you a cold welcome. Spooky sonics a go-go; it’s the moment in a B-movie horror where the cute college girls split up in the woods to find their way home. It’s a white knuckle ride on a rickety ghost train. It’s a run through the fog on a mystical winter’s morning when you really should be in bed. It’s the same fine-tuned balance of hunchback punk and laser-locked bass the duo last showcased on Ram just over a year ago with the equally unique guitar-busting floor-blazer ’64 Thousand Dollar’.
 
Naturally ‘Change’ acts as the perfect foil. Dutch singer Sofie Letitre’s vocals stop you dead in your tracks; surging, urging and distinctive. June Miller have brought the very best out in her as they ruthlessly lay the sub-frequency smack down beneath. Searing and tearing, the bass cuts through the mix like with razor-like charm while the weighty kicks double up at will, tripling on the fills for added drama.

We’re talking serious peaktime bizzle here; your crowd won’t know what to do with themselves when this drops but go crazy! By the time June Miller’s trademark strong-arm build up ignites you’ll have nothing but shuddering bass casualties.
We've said it before and we’ll say it again… What an entrance! Expect plenty more unique material from June Miller on Ram in the very near future.
