Here's a Free Download of "VIP Zoom" to tide everyone over until the release of my Chatterbox EP on Exit Records next month.

The original L.A. Zoom was released as part of the Mosaic Vol 2 LP on Exit Records last year: https://soundcloud.com/straydnb/stray-l-a-zoom-exit-records

Skeptical will be opening the Exit Records 2015 release schedule on 19th January with a 4 track 12" EP. Believe it or not, this is Skeptical's debut solo release on Exit, with previous contributions consisting of his monster collaboration with Dub Phizix and Strategy, the mighty Marka, as well as individual tracks on the Mosaic series 1 and 2.
 
The EP features the percussive roller and title track 'Imperial', which has been taking dance floors deep into the jungle over the last few months in typical Skeptical fashion. As usual with his tracks this is not laptop music. Sub bass is essential to appreciate the full production qualities and the whole EP demonstrates his power to achieve the utmost with the very minimum.

The Exit Records camp have been in alias mode of late, from the self-titled ‘The Binary Collective’ album to Kid Drama’s Mikarma album; new avenues for creativity have been secured via new aliases which brings us to Module Eight.
Five like-minded beat makers; dBridge, Kid Drama, Skeptical, Loxy and Resound- all revered in their own right, who decided to form a project that unified their individual tastes, a long player that makes statement about their tastes about Drum & Bass and how it can be viewed. 
As always with Exit Records the material is future forward in its aesthetic whilst the production is detail driven but always club ready.

EXIT062 A2 Skeptical - Parallax *CLIP*

It's no secret we're big fans of Exit Records here at Data Transmission. Set up by dBridge in 2003, the imprint has - as its motto suggests - stayed true to the craft, releasing some of the most forward-thinking drum & bass of the past decade. That's why when we heard label regular Skeptical would be returning with a 4-tracker this month, we simply had to get in on the action.

In true Skeptical fashion, our Debut Transmission 'Between The Lines' balances the genre's natural exuberance with a penchant for the murkier side of life. Tribalistic drum-work echoes his recent Imperial EP for Exit, with the addition of strings, snarling bass stabs and Collette Warren's husky vocals adding a more 'concrete jungle' vibe, whilst still keeping the track firmly within the heart of darkness. Warren has become something of a staple voice with drum & bass in recent years - working with the likes of Marky, Klute and FD - and it's clear to see why, as she turns out yet another stirring performance.

Stream the track here and head to the Exit Records site from December 11th to pick up a full copy of Skeptical's Outset EP: http://www.exitrecords.co.uk/

SKEPTICAL & DUB PHIZIX feat Strategy "Marka" EXIT RECORDS 19.12.11

Continuing to blaze their trail through the lower depths of Drum & Bass, DJ Ink's Architecture imprint returns with 5 cuts of bottom swimming dubwise ruffage from Hungarian duo Apostroph. Influenced heavily by the minimalist aesthetic and ambient sound design of artists like Loxy & Resound, Instra:mental and ASC, Apostroph concoct their own visions of stripped back half step crafted for the dance floor or home listening.  

From the throbbing kicks and bongos of lead cut "Control", to the melancholy echo chamber melodies of "Delusion", their steely vision takes shape. Things take a more sinister turn with the eerie building tension of "Haunted", going further into the abyss with the lurking darkness of "Separated".  Rounding out the package on a high, massive woodblocks meet the churning undertow bassline of "Vacant", imparting a deep Junglist taint to the whole package.  Raw, weighty and essential.

Future Cut - Horns (Gremlinz & Overlook 2015 Mix)

I did this track in 2000 (I think) with Mpho Skeef a talented singer, who I need to work with again. Used to play this down at Istickz Studio a night I was a part of at Plastic People.
