Various Artists – 15 Years of Technique
iTunes: smarturl.it/TECH005CD 
Beatport: bitly.com/Tech15LPbeatport
Release Date: 22nd Feb 2015

Yes, it really has been fifteen years since Future Tech (aka Drumsound & Bassline Smith) signalled the beginning of the Technique Recordings odyssey with their eponymous debut collaboration. Since then, the drum and bass sound has spread its tendrils from the dark corners of the underground into the limelight of mainstream appreciation. And Technique has been at the forefront of that evolution all the way. So, here's an LP to show the world exactly what a decade and a half among the top tier of D&B labels sounds like.

Label heads Drumsound & Bassline Smith take pole position, dropping straight into the drama of the Friction-supported “Spring Heel Jack”. Then comes another of Technique's most recognisable acts, Tantrum Desire with the low-down funk of “Shuffle”, followed by another Friction-favourite from the bossmen with “Sputnik”. The big names keep coming throughout the album, as Crissy Criss supplies the VIP of his monumental “Create the Future” and the mighty Digital goes dubbed-out with a remix of “Phantasm”. Plus Drumsound & Bassline Smith's alter-ego 2DB pass through with the highly-grimey “Terrahawk” and L Plus delivers two precision-engineered killers in the form of “Red Planet” and “Going Down”.

Flipping the script, Technique new boys Document One strike from two angles with the laid-back “Jazz Club” and the dirty dancefloor uppercut of “Body Like Wow”. TREi takes us to the big room with “Here & Now”, and the ever-individual MaxNRG shows off his ability to combine energy with melody on “Far Frontiers of Space”. Erb N Dub and Skope recruit Mr Dirty Smirks, MC SMK himself, to bring some typically hard bars to “Pull it Back”. Kronology does what it says on the tin with some “Razor Sharp” technoid-jungle vibes. And Aussie badman Spectrem brings some hands-in-the-air euphoria with “Say Goodbye” and then roughen things up with “The Future”. Infrasonik take the honour of completing the collection with “Bricks Breaking”. And finally, Drumsound & Bassline Smith step back up for a lap of honour with a mix of all the tracks from the LP.PreOrder "15 Years Of Technique" Album

From the veteran headliners to the breakthrough talent, from the filthy rave-wreckers to the stadium-sized anthems, this album demonstrates the versatility and innovation that has kept Technique Recordings' status for all this time. So, better get set, another fifteen years at the top of the game starts right now.

Hailing from Wales in the UK, BMotion is one of Viper Recordings’ freshest and most eclectic talents. Signing exclusively to the label in 2014 and dropping his debut single ‘Feelings / Something, Something’ on sister label Viper VIP to huge success, the talented young producer has already gained momentous support from the likes of TC, Cyantific, Sub Focus, Matrix & Futurebound, Crissy Criss, Danny Byrd, Metrik, Netsky and many more.

Over the last two years, BMotion has become a respected name in the industry and has consistently brought the heat with releases such as the Beatport chart topping ‘Bear Hug / Vice City’ and ‘Arabia / Ignition’ in 2015. Alongside compilation features including ‘Discotheque’ with Chords on Decade of Viper and the huge ‘Tekken’ on Viper Presents: Summer Slammers 2016, BMotion has also proved his remixing skills with his spin on Brookes Brothers feat. Majesty’s ‘Good To Me’ – which featured on Viper Presents: Bassrush 1.0 alongside the well-received ‘Ignition’.

Eutopia kicks off BMotion’s new single with a distinctly retro, jazz-fueled intro. Twisting and turning through a range of distorted synths and progressive drums, the track quickly picks up pace before catapulting into a hard-hitting drop packed with fierce stabs and snares. Splicing together an explosive mix of funky retro and a heavy, rolling bassline, the producer impresses from the get-go with this turbo charged opening tune.

On the flip side, Release Valve opens up on a more chilled vibe. Starting off by incorporating an electric guitar into an echoing build-up, the track is then instantly transformed as a powerful, gritty bassline takes over the moment the drop hits. Bringing some next-level energy and aiming straight for the center of the dancefloor, this killer tune packs some serious ferocity.

Showcasing yet more faultless production and bringing to the table undoubtedly two of the biggest Drum and Bass tracks to hit dancefloors this autumn, BMotion is wasting no time in setting himself apart from the competition.

Juggernaut' gradually moves itself forward on cranking drum patterns and slowly creeping synths cutting
through the mix, edging out its atmospherics and then crashing forward on its grating snare. Pounding
warped aquatic sub undertones rattle each beat, resulting in you becoming more tightly gripped with
every sound and layer. This beast of a collaboration between Kursiva and Transforma demonstrates C4C's
contemporary standards and elevated understanding of the realm they reign over.

@skynetaudio - Stuck In Mind (Maztek Remix) out now beatport Exclusive Pro@ramrecords
Grab It Here: https://RAM.lnk.to/SkynetSIMMFA

Not only does Program pride itself in pushing forward the underground’s emerging talent, but it also provides a pedestal for artists who’ve already established themselves within drum & basses darkest trenches. The sister-label of twenty five year strong dance music imprint Ram Records, it’s stood away from its counterpart and created its own formidable reputation. And alongside releases like their forthcoming output from Skynet and Maztek, they’re here to dominate the genre’s murkier waters once again. 

Both the single’s A-side and its reverse present another expertly manufactured edition to Skynet’s first release on Program as well as Skynet’s take on Maztek’s groundbreaking production standard. It adds another spin both artists’ pioneering sound, which has helped them build their careers within neurofunk and set themselves up as a heavyweight. They join forces through the old-school reminiscent, neuro-infused reworks ‘Stuck in Mind (Maztek Remix) / Dizzy Step (Skynet remix) ‘ and take dominion over Program’s intimidating back catalogue. 

So once again, it’s time to get with the Program.

Own It Now: technique.lnk.to/2020Vision

We're not even close to recovering from the sonic assault of Technique's twentieth-anniversary 'Remix LP' but the follow-up strike is already upon us. We've seen classics from the back cat get the treatment from the likes of A.M.C, Bladerunner, Marky and Digital, but now it's all about looking to the future. With ten brand new killer tunes, the Technique Recordings gang are already setting a benchmark for 2020.

And, judging by this album, the picture of what's to come is multi-hued and multi-faceted.

The break-focused future-jungle tear-out of Drumsound & Bassline Smith's 'Ruffneck Soldier' – already a tried and tested deejay weapon on dub – sits alongside the cinematic expanse of L Plus's 'The Planet' and the controlled aggression of NC-17 and Exile's 'War'.

As if to emphasise the variety, No Concept's Kerizma-laced 'Electrify' rubs shoulders with Tantrum Desire and Youngman's 'Precision', offering us a horror-influenced stomper and a soul-meets-staccato dancefloor workout respectively. And that's before we even get into the contribution from DJSS, 'Only Get Better', blending subtlety and savagery in equal measure.

This is Technique's 2020 vision, setting out a blueprint for the type of beat and bassline science that's going to be lighting up drum 'n' bass dancefloors over the coming months. Building on the hard-earned legacy of twenty years in the business, their next two decades in the top tier start right here. Essential.
