Manifest - 5 Boros (Re- Mastered)
CAT NO: DECEPTEP005
Release Date: 2001
DECEPTEP005_Athenaeum (Retro Project) Vol: 2
Deception Recordings 2001
Re-Mastered in 2023

Proponents of techstep rejoice; Deception Recordings has remastered six tracks from the golden age of drum and bass, including two never-before-released cuts. For the first time, all six tracks will be universally accessible and available on digital platforms. Label boss Manifest provides the opening track, Never 2 Far (featuring Lisa Viva). Ethereal vocals, dystopian digital effects, dissonant pads, weighty 808s and crunchy breaks are the order of business here. This behemoth of a track still hits as hard as it did over 20 years ago. 
Inside My Soul comes courtesy of Outerlimits. Crisp and bouncy two-step drums are matched with moody vocals and a thunderous bassline to create a dark, hypnotic, and fresh techy roller. 
Manifest returns with Dub War Pt. 1. Clash-ready ragga vocals pair with shuffling syncopated drums and an unrelenting slew off 808s. This one is a certified dancefloor damager.

Unreleased up until now, Manifest and Soulphonics are responsible for Oldskool. As the name suggests, musical references to the past abound. Think raw breaks, resampled pads, dubbed out effects, and booming 808s. Crunchy drums, jazzy Rhodes chords, and a rolling bassline form the backbone of 5 Boros (another track by Manifest) to create another quality techstep cut. The final track of the release, Dub War Pt. 2, is a grittier and uplifting take on Pt. 1. Also previously unreleased, this weapon of a tune is now available for deployment in your own sets. Use with
caution.

The Bush Chemists - Light Up Your Spliff (Business As Usual Remix) [Free Download]

It’s no secret that MC Fats was a true legend in the drum and bass scene. He wasn’t in it for the fame or the recognition; he was driven by his love for the music and the community. Whether in the studio, on a small stage in a dark club, or performing in front of thousands at a festival, Fats always brought his authentic self to the table. His messages of unity, positivity, and resilience resonated deeply, reminding listeners of the power of music to heal, uplift, and unite.

Though he’s no longer with us, MC Fats leaves behind an unforgettable legacy that lives on through his music and the indelible mark he left on drum and bass.

Natural Way was the last track Fats and Break made together, and became a seminal tune in the DnB scene. After Fats' passing, Break worked on a heartfelt intro for a VIP version to play at a tribute night at the beloved Sun & Bass festival. That version was expanded on to become this fully realised new remix.

BTK & Abstr4ct ft. Ryme Tyme 'Energy' [Dutty Audio]

‘Disconnect’ sees BTK and Abstr4ct join forces for a heads-down Drum & Bass workout that’s equal parts dancefloor weapon and mind food. BTK’s trademark surgical beats lock in tight with Abstr4ct’s shadowy atmospherics, rolling out on a bed of heavy bass and crisp, precision breaks. It’s got that warehouse in the early hours feel, dark, tense, and built to rattle ribcages.

But this one’s more than just a rinse-out. There’s a message woven into the grit. ‘Disconnect’ taps into the idea of stepping away from the constant digital hum, shutting off the scroll, and cutting loose from the noise that chips away at your headspace. Every drop feels like a reset button, every breakdown like a breath of fresh air in a world that doesn’t stop shouting.

BTK and Abstr4ct have cooked up a tune that’s primed for sweaty basements and festival rigs, but also sneaks in a little food for thought. Heavy, moody, and with a purpose, this is Drum & Bass with something to say.

Untamed Warrior (Demigroove Remix) 

First came the Deception Podcast – it was a platform which amassed a huge fan base, one which began to become a tastemaker within the murkier realms of dark-tech, with the neuro rollers from the likes of Mainfest, BTK, Meth and Raiden premiering across its airwaves. And next the label Deception was born, which infected the scene whilst paying homage to an era which took you to the depths of its murky soundscapes. Over the years, they’ve built an army of artists who won’t sacrifice their production standards for a more commercially viable appeal. Already knowing how to promote these sounds, they became the perfect hub for cutting-edge dance music, with their roster beginning to grow despite their no-holds-barred take on drum & bass.

And they’re about to unleash a two-track EP which features reworks of tracks that have already made their place felt within the label’s back catalogue. It’s the first in a series of releases which will take you into the trenches of Deception; the ‘Suicide Run Remixes’ prove that Deception have made their mark within the genre. First up is Demigroove’s take on ‘Untamed Warrior’ from Manifest, Meth and 2Shy. Demigroove debuted on Deception with his collaborative single alongside Exile and Silicon and his return takes you to a journey through hell. However, it brings you to the surface with funk layered drums, bass stabs and techno riffs, whilst its progression sees MC 2Shy’s vocals manipulated. A student of the legendary Raiden, it comes as no surprise that Demigroove twists the original on its head, with more to come on Deception with his forthcoming EP currently in the works.

Support from: Vegas (Bad Company), Maldini (Bad Company), Mobtactics ,Volatile Cycle, GLXY, Meth, BTK, Zardonic,  Dose, Skynet, DJ E (Kool FM), Dj Chef (Pyro Radio) & More

Manifest, Meth & 2Shy MC - Untamed Warrior [Demigroove Remix]

In early 2002, Manifest & friend Mark Dixon started Deception Recordings an outlet for Manifest tracks. Since then the label has grown to release music from other credible drum & bass artists including BTK, Meth, Verb, 2Shy, Genotype, Mechanzim & Soul Defiance. Deception releases have been championed byVarious DJ's prominent underground radio stations across the Globe. More recently we setup our own 'Deception Podcast' to further our promotional reach, share new music from artists who have appeared on the label and create a platform for new artists we believe in. Our goal is to excite club enthusiasts worldwide, maintain our ever growing online community and showcase the past, present & future of drum & bass music.
