Dabs' Rawbot EP

https://soundcloud.com/dabs
https://www.facebook.com/Eatbra1n

The Prolific Eatbrain are back once again, with Italian producer Dabs returning to their embracing fold following his 2014 release with them. Having releasing on labels like Dispatch, Avantgarde, and Horizons, Dabs is no stranger to the hard hitting, ultra-modern machine funk sound peddled by the Eatbrain collective.

On his ‘Rawbot EP’ the Italian producer enlists the help of scene godfather Rymetyme, prodigious talent L 33 and  Czech badman A-Cray  creating a free flowing EP that smacks like a heavyweight boxer and sings like an opera darling. 

Opening number Grindwerk combines the trademark spoken word type vocals of Rymetyme, with a steampunk gated synth line, a tough dutty bassline, and the future neuro type drums that Eatbrain artists do so well.

Post-Sora world

FEEDBACK ECHO sees Neurofunk forerunner Maztek, who has released to date on titan labels Renegade Hardware, Virus and Eatbrain, join forces with Current Value. Their combined appreciation for edgy tech is clearly manifested in the dynamics of the track – stripped beats flow against restless roughly textured synth work and massive undulating bassline.

Current Value & Maztek - Feedback Echo (Subsistenz)

From the darkest recesses of the drum & bass world, this LP sampler from Audio signifies the last step towards his debut LP on Ram Records. Already receiving support from the scene’s heaviest, including key influencers Noisia and Beats1 mogul Zane Lowe, this next release is the predecessor for an album set to make history.

First up, ‘Overdose’ sees Audio return to his brutish, rolling bassline slashed with gritty drum loops and underpinned by quaking subs. The master of dropping ominous samples into the mix, it propels deep into a murky conundrum of sound. Steroid driven kicks bloat out the already weighty composition, sliced with distorted, elevating beat patterns and bass to create an angry, sneering and unapologetic opener. This is Audio once again pushing through like a freight train… Unstoppable.  

Next up is the Mefjus rework of Audio’s signature Ram release ‘Ulton’. His production standards were already credited at this year’s Drum & Bass Arena Awards; it’s not surprise that Audio enlisted an artist who’s received recognition for spreading his signature sound across dance floors worldwide. Mefjus’ moulds the original around the unfaltering guns of his peddled drums and wavering bassline. Flicking the switch midway, you’re thrown head first into the techy soundscape the producer reigns over.

So once more we return to the cold, nefarious sounds of Audio a final time before his album is dropped on the Ram imprint. The dial is currently turned to full throttle and it’s easy to see why the anticipation has only been growing with the release of each single.

4 billion years in the depths of time - the crust surface of Planet 9 stirs under relentless electrical activity. Abiogenesis erupts life into static complex carbon constructs - planetary scale synthesis of primary life setting the chain running towards the exponential intelligence gradient. Biological mutations set the fires of consciousness burning as the universe reflects upon itself, identifying its own deficiencies in self-perception and adapting. Base layers of life, interwoven vast structures of organisms in a perpetual struggle to build ever more intricate systems, are bound a single goal that yearns for complexity to reach this moment... The ultimate strand of intelligent biology, shrouded in its destiny to deliver the first flickers of synthetic consciousness, laying the primary neural networks - opening the doorway of sentience to the greater race. All life reaching towards the deliberate construction of the first greater artificial mind and the vast shell to encapsulate it… every entity bending to the universal will to evolve – to lay the foundations of Mechtropolis.
 
Eatbrain welcomes back MachineCode to their roster, a pair of pioneering producers (Current Value & Dean Rodell) who have torn a deeply unique path through the D&B sphere. With the sampler for the MECHTROPOLIS LP, MachineCode demonstrate a small slice of their powers of experimentation with the dnb form – delivering 4 hard-hitting and precisely engineered neurofunk tracks with TEST RUN, SUBMERGED (featuring Coppa), MANOUVER & SPEAKER. Demonstrating their commitment to forward-thinking electronic music, Eatbrain unveil the foundations for the architecture of an elaborately built sonic city, built by a pair of the finest musical machines alive.

Document One - 7th Dimension EP

Document One had, to put it mildly, a pretty good 2016. Their unique blend of tech, hip-hop, jazz and funk influences have cemented their place among the elite of drum'n'bass producers. Their tunes are consistently at the business end of the DnB download charts and they've garnered support from some of the biggest DJs in the scene. So, this EP, their first release of 2017, bears the weight of a huge amount of expectation.

The title track, “7th Dimension” takes all the elements of an archetypal Document One tune and presents them crisper and sharper than we've ever heard them before. There's an almost liquid intro, peppered with shimmering brass and an atmospherically FXed vocal clip. But then there's the eponymous MC sample, which cuts through the soundscape and prepares us for a switch up. The tune becomes a weighty, dark roller, with Doc One's trademark funk in the seething and warping bassline supported by diamond-tipped drums.

Then “The Rhythm” switches things up. The intro gives no clue as to where we're going with this one, as subtle percussion and one-hit sounds reverberate around a dialogue clip. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Where we're going is into a land of indisputable filth. The driving, pulsing bassline has a serrated edge of distortion, and those neck-snapping, uppercut beats are going to do some serious damage whenever you drop this.

“Hypnotic” has something different to say again. This is where it becomes painfully blatant that Document One are never going to be easy to categorise. The fluid pressure of the intro builds into a stomping, grinding bass and beats assault to get the ravers moving. Amidst the percussive mayhem, however, there's still that atmospheric melodic and harmonic subtlety. This could find a home in your set whatever your sub-genre.

In “It's Alright”, yet more worlds collide. There's genuine emotion in the intro and the beautiful breakdown in the middle of the tune, but that kick drum build signals something different entirely. The morphing bassline travels from low-end to mid-range and back again, while the restrained violence of the drums and classic-break fills provide the scaffolding. From one angle, it could look like a Document One twist on the jump-up formula, which is something we've never heard from them before.

Finally, “I Tried” gives us pure, dark, junglist soul music. Elegant pads, keys and sax back up that gorgeous vocal sample, which turns this tune into a guaranteed hands-in-the-air moment. Document One refuse to let this dissolve into sentiment, though. The drop is lethal, as precision-tooled drums drive the dance onwards, and we all know by now how these guys do basslines. This tune has that smoky jazz club moodiness while still being able to bring hype to a rave. It's got instant classic written all over it.

So, it's clear that Document One have lived up to their billing once again as forward-thinking dancefloor destroyers with soul and funk to spare. Many people bemoan the divisions between different sides of DnB, but in this EP, it all comes together. If the future of the music is going to take in the full spectrum, then these producers might just be laying out the blueprint.

Document One - It's alright

Today is the day! We are finally announcing the winner of the Mayhem & Logam Remix Competition. We were going to announce last week but had discovered that quite a few submissions were accidentally deleted by our email host and wanted to give a little bit more time to allow everyone to re submit if necessary. Unfortunately we did not get all of the deleted submissions back but we listened to all of the ones that we had and made our decision. 

Congratulations to Myselor! Out of all the submissions we listened to we felt this one was the most uniformed and well executed. A stripped down funky roller that offers something new but still maintains the original vibe. Myselor's remix will be forthcoming along with an official remix by ..... you'll see when it drops ;) Myselor will also be recieving a free pair of high quality ear plugs from Ear Peace! Big up man! 

We also wanted to give a shout out to Steve G, Drumliar, and Fakt for their submissions. Each one brought something different to the table but all of them were equally unique. 

We really appreciate everyone taking the time to participate and hope that you enjoyed having a go at Orion! At this time you are now free to upload and share your remixes. Big up everyone! Thanks again!

Beatport and Spotify Exclusive 21.01.2019

The warrior’s body was torn and broken, held together by thin threads of sinew and muscle that strained against any force put upon them, making each movement an exercise in agony. His very form seemed to mock humanity in its contorted state and presented an anatomical parabole by way of its very living existence. Yet for all of this suffering, he continued on unbowed, determined to become what he had been once again. He had attained the pinnacle of human strength and power, unstoppable in combat for his devastating ability. Such ability had brought enemies who had sought to strike him down unseen, to remove his greatest advantage in traditional combat. Their treacherous assault had nearly destroyed the warrior, but through the strength of his will he had remained, driven onwards by a new purpose: revenge.

For this motive he had crafted an array of devices that fed into him as veins to a heart, healing his body day by day, inch by inch, and molecule by molecule. Serums of his own concoction expedited this process, regenerating his tissues at a rate far beyond the human baseline. He had sealed himself into darkness, illuminated only by the iridescent glow of the technologies which enveloped him as a cocoon. Indeed, all about him was built for the sole purpose of his revenancy but for one inclusion. Directly opposite him stood a mirror, oddly organic in its contrast to the web of cables which surrounded it. His eyes locked forwards, the warrior stared ever into the mirror, unphased by the horrific REFLECTION that stared back. For the warrior, such a visage only bolstered his resolve. The REFLECTION’s of those who had wronged him would look far worse in time.

GANCHER & RUIN make a powerful return to EATBRAIN with the release of their REFLECTION EP, featuring two solo tracks and a collaboration with label boss JADE to form a well-honed three track package. REFLECTION merges the sounds of GANCHER & RUIN with those of JADE to maximum effect, as roaring basslines collide move to funk influenced rhythms in a well-orchestrated sonic synthesis. VELOCITY’s rising arpeggio leads straight into a full frontal drum-fueled assault, driven by the punctual punches of its pulverizing kicks and snares. UNLIMITED closes the EP, marked by the ravey saw stabs that dominate its top line alongside a series of vocal shots that add to the track’s colorful atmosphere. With the REFLECTION EP, GANCHER & RUIN once more display their unstoppable sound across three tracks with great effect.
