Straight off the back of Ulterior Motive’s recent exclusive signing to Metalheadz, the production powerhouse return with the release of META010 a stand out double A side 1 that features the devastatingly immense “Lost Contact,” backed in perfect contrast with the track “Forgiven” featuring Peta Oneir on vocals.

In combination the two tracks provide the perfect taster for their widely anticipated album on Metalheadz and with output like this it’s certainly easy to see why we wanted Ulterior Motive all to ourselves!

“Lost Contact” features those signature Ulterior Motive drums stepping faultlessly through a sci-fi tinged soundscape of pads, hugely infectious lead, finished off with a perfect heavy dose of low weight to deliver yet another future classic from the duo.

Backing up “Lost Contact” the AA side “Forgiven” hits that perfect point of light and dark contrast with Peta Oneir’s vocal elegance shimmering above a violent backdrop of distorted Reece to provide just as it should, music not just for the ears but music that penetrates the mind and soul, accomplished music for those that truly understand and appreciate the art.

Both sides are almost guaranteed to destroy any dance floor and definitely the kind of track to stand out head and shoulders above the rest the day after the night before.

“Lost Contact” aired exclusively by Friction on his Radio 1 show in the coveted “Fire Track” slot, testament to sheer quality of the track itself and an accolade held only for the absolute highest tier Drum and Bass releases, releases like this continue and confirm the very ethos that has made Metalheadz exactly what it is today, a label and home for the pinnacle standard in Drum and Bass Music.

Meta 010 - Ulterior Motive - Lost Contact

Fabric asked Headz label manager Ant TC1 to put together a promo mix ahead of a Metalheadz session in room 2 at the London venue on the 16th of August 2013.  It's mixed using 80/90% vinyl and some newer unreleased material off CDR's.

The mix is almost 2 hours long and one that takes a trip right back to early releases on the seminal label since it's early inception within the realms of Breakbeat / Jungle / Drum & Bass (going back 20 years) right up to the labels current and forthcoming releases.  Hope you enjoy.

Bassic Mix #7 - Mako

Across June 2014 Lenzman launches his début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on the seminal London-based imprint Metalheadz.

The début album ‘Looking At The Stars’ arrives with all the aplomb you would expect from the Dutch producer. He has taken time over this project and the results reflect this. The long player solidifies the Lenzman sound you have come to love and edges it forward into new realms of production and style.

It's been quite some time since we last had opportunity to speak to Commix. In fact, there’s also been a similar wait we’ve had to endure since the last release we saw from the upstanding d&b maestro. Lucky for us then he's just about to drop a stunning new EP on Doc Scott's 31 imprint and rumour has it, he'll will be releasing on a particularly noted label in the months to follow. So, as he prepares to join us for Bukem In Session this Friday, we sought to find out more about what's in store and what he's been to the past few months, grabbing an exclusive mix along the way...

Lenzman - Ministry Of Sound Radio Mix - 6/08/2012

Artificial Intelligence have been pushing the D&B envelope for nearly a decade with a relentless succession of class-A tracks on some of the scene’s most respected labels. Reaching a vast drum & bass sized grip from London to Kazakhstan, the stalwarts of the scene team up with an emerging but prolific talent, Command Strange, to turn out the latest single on Metalheadz’ premium platinum imprint. 

Drawing for former Roll Deep member and grime MC Jamakabi on the vocals, Artificial Intelligence & Command Strange craft a rolling, epic backdrop for him to roll across effortlessly. With tension-building bars and cavernous bass growls ‘Mad One’ takes you on a journey into the deeper and darker side of drum & bass, without falling victim to cliché. And as the track builds and grows Jamakabi urges you forward with the immortal prose “I’m on a mad one” while all around the beats offer thunderous applause and the bass threatens to blow speakers all around you.

Meanwhile ‘Broken Grounds’ grabs you by the hand and drags you even further down the rabbit hole. Winding, grinding synths pull and suck you in as oxygen-less atmospheres swirl around you before pummelling you with endless bass notes. With a different approach to arrangement and a sound set that’s from another world, this track is a homage to the greatest journey in human history; a reflection of the pioneering spirit that’s found in every creative endeavour. This track is a rocket-powered beast headed straight for the dance floor.

Once again Goldie and the Metalheadz team’s A&R prowess rises to the fore as ‘Mad One’ and ‘Broken Grounds’ move the Metalheadz mythos forward in all the right ways, taking in different inspirations and blending them into something that’s effortlessly platinum.

Release 8th October 

Artificial intelligence & Command Strange - Mad One ft. Jamakabi

Artificial Intelligence & Command Strange - Broken Grounds

Many of you will remember the sound of drum & bass circa 2001. For some a golden era of a genre which had recently grown from a British institution into an immense global movement cutting swathes through clubs and festivals the world over. That year saw Manchester’s Future Cut break through with arguably their most memorable and haunting release to date.

Metalheadz catalogue number METH040 was released in the summer of 2001 to the thunderous rush of DJs clamouring for white label promos and the sound of crowds losing themselves whenever it was dropped. The A side, of course, being Future Cut’s ‘Obsession’ – a track oozing with classic Metalheadz hallmarks and overlaid with Jenna G’s infectious vocals. 

Fast forward to 2012 and Metalheadz are preparing to unleash a stunning reworking of this stone cold classic. Set to be released as a limited edition one-sided picture disc vinyl on Metalheadz’ Razor’s Edge offshoot, the Ulterior Motive remix of ‘Obsession’ will undoubtedly bring this beautiful piece of drum & bass to a modern audience.

Ulterior Motive, turn in a respectful and hard-hitting remix that pays homage to Future Cut’s original musical vision while adding enough punch for modern dance floors.

Haunting Headz pads pave the way for Jenna G’s luscious vocal which envelopes you, drawing you in before Ulterior Motive batter your senses with waves of crisp, rolling breakbeats, pounding bass notes and grinding synth stabs. Fans of the original will not be disappointed as Ulterior Motive retain all the signature sound of the original while bringing their own fresh style into the mix.


Future Cut - Obsession Feat. Jenna G - (Ulterior Motive Remix)

Deadmau5 - Ghosts 'N' Stuff(Sub Focus Remix)

Having had an incredible year already with singles from D-Bridge, Commix, Jubei & Flowdan, Lenzman and label boss Goldie, Metalheadz go all out with yet another impressive instalment of their ‘Genesis’ EP series. Dropping four heavy tracks, this one will definitely be at the forefront of the D&B elite’s playlists this winter.

First up Mortem delivers ‘Iceberg’ a hauntingly chilly piece of music with echoed vocal snippets, crisp two-stepping breaks, cavernous sound effects and a shifting slab of bass. All the elements combine effortlessly in Mortem’s hands as he crafts each moment with expert precision.

FD kicks down your front door and runs away with your prized possessions as he drops ‘Break & Enter’ – a chunky bass-weight track that sounds immense when played loud. This one will undoubtedly shake the bass bins of any club you care to drop it in.

Next up Prolix shows a slightly deeper side to his sound with winding Reese bass combinations and tight drums that roll endlessly across a grizzling background atmosphere. ‘What You Need’ must be a punch in the gut with Prolix’ sub bass! 

Rounding off the EP come Quadrant & Iris who team up on ‘Anthropocene’. Leading you in with a gentle intro with two step beats and far away pads you’re quickly drawn into a much grimier and heavier world as soon as the bassline drops. 

This is an impeccably produced and expertly hand-picked selection of the best drum & bass around; something you have always come to expect from Metalheadz.

Format:   3x12” Vinyl & digital download
Release:  2013 January

2012 has been a fulfilling year for IM:Ltd and with the sonic summer being definitively over, the French based label gets back moodier than ever with ‘Junction 12’, a collection of 6 meticulously picked Drum & Bass tracks from some of the hottest talents on board that comes in the form of a 3x12” vinyl series.

Disc 1 sees Berlin producer Es.tereo going back to some of his darker playgrounds with ‘Junction 12’, an autonomic influenced stepper featuring some obsessive vocals. 
On the B side, French techstep veterans Kantyze deliver a surprisingly uncluttered roller named ‘Tough Breaker’. Simple & efficient.

With releases on labels such as Goldie’s legendary imprint Metalheadz , 2012 has been a wealthy year as well for Mortem as he returns to IM:Ltd with ‘Converter’, another brilliant track that won’t contradict his well earned reputation for creating music that causes serious damages on dance floors across the globe. The flip consist of ‘Amour King’, the first vinyl effort from Quartz , a new duo hailing from Cardiff.

On Disc 3, Gerwin steps up his game with ‘It’s All In Your Head’, a seedy piece of minimal tech funk. Once again, his ease and versatility definitively makes him one of the name to be watched out for in the coming months. Last but not least, Belgian producer Atmospherix teams up with S-Vb for some ‘modular revenge’.
Raw sickness.

MIND VORTEX 
- Alive / Arc

Mind Vortex are back! And they’re back with a vengeance… This duo have pulled it out the bag again and are ready to dent 2013.

Their new release ‘Alive/Arc’ is a game of two wholly different sides. Mind Vortex showcase their enviable range of skills: perfectly executed song-based composition AND outrageously huge, speaker splintering bass bombs.

‘Alive’ is up first. Striking up with a star-glazed synth and string hook that rises exponentially, we’re soon dropped into crisp guitar hooks and smooth vocals. As the synths and heated kicks re-join the mix, it’s instant anthem time with plenty of opportunities to raise a lighter or two. As the vibrant hook gets heavier and the song develops, we find the bass becoming more textured, bursting with dynamics and true sense of sonic sentiment.

Next up, ‘Arc’: A quintessential rave hustler, it opens with rich warm rush-worthy chords softly coerced you into a false sense of arm waving euphoria. This tune has such a beautiful emotion-caked intro and then BANG!: in they come with one of the most powerful pay-offs we’ve heard for ages. A murder of basslines vie for your attention; ducking and diving and weaving and bobbing among each other, each one as brutish as the next. From spine-melting electro-soul to turbo-charged bass shock-out at the flip of a switch, it’s production techniques like this that attracted Mind Vortex to us in the first place.

This release has two stunningly different vibes from one of the most exciting partnerships in drum & bass… With support from the likes of Andy C, Mistajam, Grooverider, Bailey, Crissy Criss, DJ Hype and Drumsound, the doors to the Mind Vortex fan club are well and truly open. And everyone’s invited!

‘Take You Higher’… it’s a promise all DJs make each and every time they set foot behind the decks. No matter what genre, style or flavour, the dark art of elevation is THE core premise of all electronic music. It’s the holy grail of dancefloor science… And Wilkinson has been studying it for years.

Living up to his promise, ‘Take You Higher’ is an instant turbo boost for all corners of the dance. Igniting with a half step so emotive you can imagine a boxer walking down to the ring to its hype-fuelled strut, we’re soon dropped into a climactic synth hook, quintessential rave vocal and surging well-bodied power-bass. 

So sharp it can shave a man from fifty paces, so euphoric it can instigate a spine-tingle from fifty miles, ‘Take You Higher’ is soaked in undiluted drama that’s specifically designed to drive your crowd well beyond the all-important ‘next level’.  

Always keen to paint a full picture across his releases, Wilkinson’s also served up ‘Crunch’. A darker, more driving slab of drum & bass, ‘Crunch’ thrusts with a sneering, searing bassline and just the perfect amount of synth-aided uplift. Armed with one of the most electric build ups he’s done to date, it’s yet another example of Wilkinson’s ability to take the dancefloor to places so high they didn’t even know they existed. 

Both ‘Take You Higher’ and ‘Crunch’ act as a promising tease for Wilkinson’s forthcoming debut album. Due for release later this year, it’s set to showcase the rich vein of form the young producer is hitting at the moment. And there’s more…  

Proof, if it’s needed, that the art of taking you higher is essential in all genres, Ram Records have complemented Wilkinson’s breath-taking original with two spectacular remixes. First up, the fast-rising future bass merchant Jakwob:  fusing the finest aspects of garage and underground house, he’s dropped the tempo but paid maximum respect to the theatrical character of the original. With a crisp array of infectious percussive elements and the perfect dosage of minor-key sobriety, it’s fuelled by so much emotion it might just take you too high! 

Next up: Foamo. With a repertoire that includes on-point house labels such as Moda and Skint, he’s been fuelling generation bass with unpredictable slices of dancefloor dynamite since 2008. Lounging in low-end luxury, his debut remix for Ram Records pays homage to years of London house heritage; shuffling with a gorgeous chugging groove and a slight nod to the deeper shades of speed garage movement, like the original, this will sing to many different DJs… Each one of them looking to live up to their promise: taking you higher!

Zeds Dead - By Your Side

Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (Zeds Dead Remix)

Digital's selection on this promo mix, one the Ipswich based producer made to mark his forthcoming appearance in the Metalheadz hosted Room Two on Friday 21st June, is absolutely vital. It's an easy term to band about, like "oh yeah dude, this tune is vital to the flow of the mix," or whatever, but there's a real aspect of classicly informed junglism about the breaks he chooses to unite. That fact might be totally unsurprising if you aware of the man's heritage within drum & bass so if not, here’s a short lesson…

After being involved with reggae soundsystems in his youth, between ’89 and ’91, the exponential scene around jungle and drum & bass started to bubble and Digital started hiring out his soundsystem and found his entry point into a scene that had people like Rupert Parkes, better known as Photek, already enamoured with it. With solo releases stretching all the way back to ‘Touch Me’ on Timeless Recordings in 1995 with Digital releasing ‘Niagra’/’Down Under’ on Metalheadz a year later. A regular on the scene ever since Digital went on to birth his own Function imprint, releasing Space Funk: The Archives 1995-2008 in May of 2009, chronicling his progression and career up until that date. 

Still as potent and precise in his DJing, Digital’s appearance at Metalheadz on Friday 21st June promises a lot with his core educated dynamics nestling amongst sets from Goldie, Calibre, Lenzman, Jubei, CMX, DJ Flight and One 87.

The Metalheadz back catalogue features almost every major figure in the history of drum and bass, and is one of the most innovative labels out there, consistently crossing boundaries with its releases since 1994. The labels output continues to showcase a maturing genre of music that displays influences from reggae, hip-hop, house and techno with highly-sophisticated and intricately-produced tracks, contrary to the image of the music that is typically presented by the mass media.

Releasing music from some of the biggest names out there whilst at the same time pushing and letting new talent break through are the reasons why Metalheadz continues to stay at the forefront of electronic music.

The Metalheadz label was also the driving force behind the seminal Sunday Session Club Nights, which achieved legendary status at London's Blue Note club. Today, Metalheadz club nights are often sell outs with the label also regularly hosting stages at some of the biggest festivals across the world.
