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.

'Tell Me Something' was first aired by Goldie high up in the London skies for the Metalheadz X Red Bull London Eye event and instantly rewound. The track takes a creative drum pattern and edges forward with mutant bass and space age pads very much reminding of bygone Headz tracks, breaks and edits keep the track popping through its course.

'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.

Leeds imprint Ronin Ordinance continues their steady flow of deeper D&B with their eighth release, and this time it's Discipline Records co-founder Fortune on the buttons. 'Gram Negative' channels the spirit of old school techstep and drumfunk into a dark landscape of break-switchups, hefty sub and ominous atmospherics; serious business. Check it out and watch for the release dropping 23rd October.

Snow crunched lightly under his paws as he made his way across the forest floor in the still darkness. Faint light from the pale moon penetrating the depths of the woods occasionally rippled across his fur as he moved stealthily towards the perimeter. The fur around his mouth carried the stains of the many carcasses those pointed teeth had torn into as their dark-tinted red warmth slipped away beneath his fearsome frame. His blood appetite freshly sated, it was time to return to his brothers. The torn and broken light of the forest’s horizon spread across his good eye, that portal to the open plains and the mountains beyond. Smells of the forest’s life and the subtle sounds of the slowly beating hearts of its hibernating inhabitants surrounded him, each distinctly offering the promise and debt of the food they would become with the cyclic melt. His iris shrunk as he padded out into the pure white snow plain, their god, the mountain, towering above in all of its bleak awe. A frozen gust blew across his fur, carrying with it the sound of the distant bloodhowl of his kind, a twisted mournful note full of rage that resonated with his instinct, triggering adrenaline and flooding his form with anger. Quickening his pace, he darted for the pack, lips curled back against fangs that would soon let another pathetic usurper’s lifeforce spill onto nature’s coldest of blankets. The lair of the Wölfe lay ahead, his kind... connected in cruel mortality.

EATBRAIN welcome FOURWARD and his brothers to the fold, bringing a wealth of deadly talent to the label in the forms of SIGNAL and PHENTIX on production and the sharply delivered vocals of the legendary VIRUS SYNDICATE. Constituting one of the label’s heaviest releases to date, and dripping with freshness manifested from such a mix of veteran and rising talent, the ‘Wölfe’ EP stands mightily as one of the most intense slices of d&b in 2018, carving a pure and fierce path to the head of the pack.

The highly-anticipated debut album from Blocks & Escher is here...

Since first appearing on Metalheadz in 2014 the duo have been hidden away mastering their craft and honing their skills, culminating in a 11-track long player entitled ‘Something Blue’.

Now ready to be unleashed, ‘Something Blue’ is an album that ventures into various corners of drum & bass and jungle, never failing to surprise or evoke emotion. It’s a culmination of Blocks & Escher’s dedication to the music, with the finished article coming in at nothing short of exceptional. 

We couldn’t be happier to release ‘Something Blue’ this March.

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.
