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.

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.
