Betrayal EP

Response 'Betrayal' [Metalheadz]

Villem returns to Symmetry for his first solo release, with two jungle influenced tracks. A versatile producer, Villem has graced different styles over the past decade and whilst his output keeps you guessing, his reputation for quality is never in doubt.

‘Deep Step’ flips this inspiration, as serene strings and pads lead into heavy, cascading breaks; crashing and alternating throughout, coalesced by thumping bass kicks.

Worldwide release: 28/5/21

Calibre - You Could Dance

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.

Oeuvre [METACD017]

Mako - One Reality [Premiere]

Full Article → https://www.onthewax.com/sounds/exclusive-mikal-returns-to-metalheadz-with-the-incredible-metalwork-lp-featuring-the-genius-rave-infused-breaks-and-pads-otw-premiere

As one of the most lauded and celebrated figures in Drum & Bass, the Swedish-born, now Bristol-hailing beatsmith Mikal has always pushed boundaries and preset, defined norms, never once being held down by the genres and concepts that are set in stone for so many. With a gritty, succinct production aesthetic and a real ear for the what’s what and who’s who of the subterranean underground, Metalheadz’s ‘silent assassin’ (coined by Goldie) retains one of the most impressive, multi-faceted back catalogues in the scene, breaking new ground with each passing release. Over the years, we’ve seen him excel on long-time collaborator Mako’s stellar Utopia imprint, Break’s distinguished Symmetry Recordings, Ant TC1’s legendary Dispatch Recordings, Horizons Music and plenty more alongside a surefire selection of previous drops delivered through that phenomenal, iconic Metalheadz membrane.

Introduced via Headz’s Genesis series, the Immaterial EP and Wilderness, his debut full-length offering on the historical imprint, Mikal’s emphasis on tight, squared-off, no-nonsense Drum & Bass has led to a large following of fans who just love this sound and approach, and this is evidenced in full by this new masterful album, which just oozes immaculate, refined taste and fully delivers on every single level, with each and every track primed straight for the jugular.

Taking the form of an unapologetic ode of sharp, cascading breakbeats and rave-ridden, eardrum-rupturing bassweight, Mikal returns to Metalheadz with the simply staggering Metalwork LP, a barbaric 16-track tsunami that continuously ups the momentum and heart rate from the first track, all the way through to its mesmerising closing stages. Featuring collaborations with in-demand mic man Visionobi, RIOT and DJ Thor, as well as 13 jaw-dropping solo productions, Mikal asserts his dominance in full here, presenting a mind-bending polymerisation of that quintessential Mikal flow and the sleek, hard-hitting Headz throttle that we all love and cherish.

Realistically, we knew we needed to pen a separate full piece to cover the LP in its magnificent entirety, which will be available to read very soon, but for now we’re humbled to host, premiere and exclusively present one of our favourite cuts from the project: ‘Breaks and Pads’. Here, we’re treated to a bruising, melodic, hard-hitting uppercut of vicious, seething breaks and percs, scything background aesthetics and ragga-etched vox, all perfectly drawn and tied together; the defined mark of an wholly experienced electronic titan. Described by the Headz crew as an ‘instant Metalheadz hit and a linchpin to the whole project’, Breaks and Pads cements its place as one of the most essential licks on the LP. Out to Mikal and Metalheadz on yet another awe-inspiring drop, this might just be the finest album you hear this year.

OTW Premiere: Mikal - Breaks And Pads [Metalheadz]

Demos and contact: info@metalheadz.co.uk

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 drum and bass. The stable is currently home to Goldie, Lenzman, Jubei, Commix, Ulterior Motive, Artificial Intelligence, Dom & Roland, OneMind, Mikal, Blocks & Escher and SCAR.

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.
