After two critically acclaimed releases on Program, exclusively-signed Frankee now makes his debut on RAM. Naturally, this is a massive release that’s sure to blow up dancefloors worldwide! 

Frankee Black Heart / Wonderland

‘Black Heart’ lives up to its name in every single sense. We’d say ‘it does what it says on the tin’ but there is no tin, just an incredible sense of foreboding ghostly doom. Darkness soars through each eastern wail while the rich bassline drives deep into the groove, doubling up towards the builds for extra drama. Peppered with nuances of neuro funk, once again Frankee has shown an understanding of drum & bass dynamics that belies his young years. 

For the ultimate switch-flipper, head to ‘Wonderland’. The complete contrast to ‘Black Heart’, here we find the London producer paying the ultimate homage to drum & bass jungle’s earliest rave carnations. With vibrant, euphoric piano licks, skippy breakbeats and subs so heavy they need their own passport, ‘Wonderland’ is a quintessential example of contemporary rave. As for the emphatic vocal? We can all agree with its sentiments. Music is indeed wonderful – especially when it’s being written by the likes of Frankee.

BREAK - MOVING ON - HZN077a FRICTION RADIO 1 CLIP

Mako has his first full outing for the Headz camp via METH XX. Meth XX is the fertile breeding ground for new Metalheadz artists that gives them a chance for to express themselves with the music they are making right now.
Enter Mako.

'Gully' is exactly that, gully. It’s an exercise in how to get a dancefloor moving, contorted bass, big stepping drums. Great for DJ’s and dancers - kept interesting and even changing its step at the very end of the track showing an attention to detail  sadly missing in this day and age.

DIESELBOY - THE DESTROYER
KILLING IT is his business, and business is BOOMING!

HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS 

Dieselboy, a man who has spent over two decades finely honing the craft of mixing music to make people’s minds explode, now brings you his latest 85 minute, 93 track DRUM AND BASS THRILL RIDE. This release is Rated R for RUGGED AS FUCK - a dense brick of heavyweight bass meant to test sound systems, spike heart rates and melt speakers. Inspired by the wildly successful BLOOD SWEAT AND BASS tour with Downlink, THE DESTROYER brings the pain with a 70s grindhouse cinema aesthetic and features the insane level of detail that Dieselboy’s mixes are known for - Big intro. Big outro. Bad ass artwork. And layers and layers and layers of sonic flavor.

This is not your standard “DJ MIX”. This is a modern CULT CLASSIC. An experience designed for repeated listens. In the car. In the gym. In your headphones while you are straight kicking ass and taking names. Created to piss off your neighbors, scare children and hurt other DJ's feelings. CRANK IT THE FUCK UP!

And brace yourself for the WHITE HOT FURY that is... THE DESTROYER

Black Sun Empire feat Foreign Beggars - Dawn of a Dark Day (Receptor Remix)
Worldwide release date: March 25th 2013 (Exclusive to Beatport for two weeks)
OUT NOW: http://www.beatport.com/release/from-the-shadows-remix-ep/1050670
www.facebook.com/blacksunempire
www.facebook.com/receptormusic

With support from a stunning cross section of industry players – Chase & Status, Pendulum, Friction, Camo & Krooked, Loadstar, Rockwell, High Rankin, Feed Me – and a position in the top five best-selling albums of 2012 on Beatport, Black Sun Empire’s ‘From The Shadows’ LP was one of the Dutch trio’s biggest accomplishments in their fifteen year, five album history. To celebrate? They’re serving up this disgustingly massive remix compendium. 

Featuring some of the most exciting talents in drum & bass, each of the six remixes here offer a sizzling new slant on three of the album’s biggest tracks. All armed with their own character and uncompromising dynamics, it’s a challenge deciding which one to drop first…

‘All Is Lost’ starts the set with the perfect balance of emotional sonic star-gazing and gritty bottom-end welly. With stunning hymn-like vocals from Thomas Oliver and hype-hungry attitude from Youthstar, it’s widely regarded as one of the album’s boldest highlights. Naturally both Memtrix and Telekinesis have stepped up to the massive challenge. 

Lifted fave Memtrix goes first. Opening with teases of the original’s euphoric synths, he lets the vocals breath for one second before BANG: utter bassline sickness takes over. Complete sonic bombardment of the senses, there is no mistaking Memtrix’s direction and focus for this prime-time piece of D&B naughtiness. And there’s no mistaking the raw power of Telekinesis’s remix, either… Igniting with piano-primed ‘lighters up’ intro, we’re soon pushed into the deepest end of the darkness pool with Youthstar’s spitfire delivery, a gut-busting halfstep groove and a murder of distorted bass tones. Flipping to full D&B tempo midway, it’s a strident party piece that will stay in your wallet or playlist from now until the 23rd century.  

Next up, ‘Dawn Of A Dark Day’: A blazing unity of UK grime and Euro neuro, the day Black Sun Empire called up the Foreign Beggars for mic-duties was a game-changing day for the entire bass industry. Naturally both remixes pay respect to the fusion and fire of the original. Prolix takes the original’s swaggering halfstep intro and adds a touch more menace on the low-end and an industrial punch to the beats before dropping into a rampant, rolling speaker-smasher. No face will be left unmelted when you drop this. We guarantee it. Meanwhile Receptor adds his own interpretation with an instant uptempo kickstart and the creative use of drama-drenched cinematic strings and devilish Slayer-level guitars.  

‘Killing The Light’ brings us to a fitting climax with two of drum & bass most distinctive, forward-thinking acts on remix duties. Delicately dressed with the heart-melting vocals of Inne Eysermans, the raw emotion makes ‘Killing The Light’ the closest thing to a ballad Black Sun Empire will ever write. Paying respect to this, Icicle sharpens the kicks and snares, weaves haunting pads into the mix and takes the vocal to the darkest place imaginable. For those looking for more of a laser-snapping edge, look no further than June Miller’s remix; bolstered with a gargantuan bassline and searing sonic flares, the Dutch-Anglo duo have taken the softness and depth of the original and subverted into a priceless peaktime banger that NO D&B DJ should be without this season.

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.
