Beta 2 has consistently been making amazing music for a very long time and has come through the doors of Headz HQ with some gems, now it’s time for him to give us a full EP of his own work. 
As expected the aesthetic is varied and all tracks stand up against one another. We look forward to more from Beta 2 on the label.

Once upon a time in a distant future, Amoss finally got their arses into gear and recorded Cranium Session 23. 

Sorry for the wait on this one guys, you deserve a medal for your patience. Please trust us when we say that we aren’t being lazy, there’s just a lot of stuff going on right now in our lives that makes it tricky to get in the same room to podcast.

We hope you enjoy this month’s selection, there’s a bunch of fresh tunes in here that we love and hope you do too!

The Cranium Sessions will return just in time for Christmas. Because 2016 is almost over, which is pretty crazy!

Big love everyone
Andy & James

‣ General release date: 30 March 2018

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.

Blocks & Escher - Gulls

Still a relatively new name to the scene, Arcatype are a three-pronged production outfit forging influences from jungle, techno, ambient and jazz to create a unique sound, which fits neatly into the traditional framework of drum & bass.

A quality over quantity approach to their release schedule has seen them appear on respected labels such as Ingredients Records and C.I.A Records, with new material penned for release in 2018 and beyond.

Carving out their own space within the scene has allowed Arcatype to resonate strongly with the deeper, more thoughtful aesthetic of drum & bass. Over the last few years their attention to detail, clear emphasis on sound design and technical ability in the studio has captured the attention of fans and fellow producers alike.

Beyond this, Arcatype aim to continue building upon their solid foundations, evolving their sound and looking towards the higher echelons of the drum & bass world. With one foot rooted deeply in the past and the other pulling forward towards the future, it’s safe to say Arcatype are here to stay.

Arcatype - Odde (Original Mix)

Prolific Estonian producer Thing brings his wares to Repertoire for today's premiere! Blessed Love channels old school jungle into Thing's talent for sonic experimentation, melting down crisp breaks, bassline modulations and weird FX hits into a joyously chaotic composition with tons of character. Look out for the EP coming Nov 2nd at the Repertoire Bandcamp!

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.
