172 BPM of pure Latin drum-and-bass adrenaline.

Shakers, samba, and cybernetic basslines collide under the Rio night lights.

Built to loop, born to burn — this is Synthetica De Janeiro, where carnival meets circuitry.

Produced entirely in Ableton Live 12 with live-feel percussion, layered drops, and breakneck energy.

⚡ Made loud. Made fast. Made to move.

Two minutes of musical mayhem — blink and you’ll miss your own heartbeat.

Icicle - 20 August 2020

Mako’s contribution to this fantastic project comes in the form of an outrageous twist on the originally smooth and soulful track: ’The Ballad Celeste’. Mako’s darker take on the track necessitates the withdrawal of Natalie Duncan’s elegant vocals, which have been traded for ominous pads and a deep morphing bass line. The intricate flexing sub bass intertwines beautifully with the delightfully numerous mid range elements, to complete a daringly brilliant remix

PREMIERE: Goldie - The Ballad Celeste - Mako Remix (Metalheadz)

Akuratyde's Modern Conveniences imprint gathers steam with a second release, and this time it's Tellus at the controls for a solo artist selection. Liberation combines the Australian producer's gift for atmospheric sounds with a high energy drum pattern and more than enough bass to work a room. Soft strings, punchy percussion and warm sub vibrations...what more could you ask for? Look for this coming Sep 25th at digital stores.

It's been a long time coming for John Rolodex and a Metalheadz EP, 16 years on from his label debut as a collaborative feature on MDZ.04. The Canadian born and based producer and DJ is considered a pioneer of the North American drum and bass scene, and has released across a variety of labels including his own Machinist Music which he founded in 2010.

John started reaching back out to Goldie in 2017 and over the next couple of years 'The Rainmaker EP' took shape. Across 5 tracks, 6 including a bonus track, John draws from a long history submerged within drum and bass culture, the result of which is captured in the immense title track haunted and driven by Khadija's lavish vocal talents. Throughout the rest of the EP we're treated to an abundance of variety at a consistent standard, from the funk-driven 'La Bodega' to the curiously captivating sounds of 'Interdimensional Espionage' - we're glad to be welcoming John to the label for a long overdue release.

Friske - Persevere

Javano's album 'The Drift' simply cannot be defined. It crosses so many genres and influences they all seamlessly blend into each other. Drifting between Drum and bass, deep techno, dub and jungle. True brilliance from an artist unafraid of showing his colours.

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.
