Another collection of 15 Original Unmixed Underground Tracks collected to reenvisage / reimagine the golden era of Rave.

 Back in the early days of Rave, Underground DJ's and Producers experimented, evolving the early Acid House movement at speed. Fusing Techno with Breakbeats and pushing the BPM's ever higher, Jungle Techno and Hardcore spread across the land mutating constantly.  We asked the artists in this compilation to hark back to that era and produce us something that would in some way pay homage to that time.

 From authentic sounding Acid House and Jungle to more forward thinking Techno and J-Tek this compilation really captures the Top Drawer Digital ethos.

 Abstractions 2 morphs Jungle Techno and Breakbeats drawing its influence From the Past, In the Present, For the Future.

One year on from the launch of HeadzState, we're very happy to welcome Binary State aka Nookie back for his second EP.

Once again drawing on foundation influences, 'The Dreadnaught EP' is headed up by a rave-infused future classic in 'The Groove 90' whilst 'Aurora' adds a celestial warmth to the mix. 'Kinectic Soul' continues in a similar vein alongside the inclusion of a powerful vocal before 'Eternal Souls' rounds off the EP with a sizeable dose of funk and class.

O grande protagonista é o vocal latino, que flui sobre o beat com atitude e carisma, transformando a música em um hino instantâneo para o verão e para as pistas mais animadas.
Com uma sonoridade que remete a selos como Solid Grooves e a festas icônicas de Ibiza, a faixa é uma ferramenta perfeita para DJs que buscam elevar a energia de seus sets. A produção é potente e focada no essencial: um groove sólido e um vocal que não sai da cabeça.

Triangle des Bermudes - Charger (Norsam Remix) [PITCHED FOR COPYRIGHTS]

Dead Man's Chest - the hardcore/jungle revival project from Alex Eveson - returns with a third EP for Ingredients this March 18th.

Following on his Dreamscapes and Nautilus EPs, Alex's 4-track Farseer release sticks to his slower bpm and rave aesthetic guidelines, but leans in the direction of esoteric rollers. “Dead man‘s chest is simply me delving into and re-imagining the music that got me hooked 20-odd years ago,” says the Bristol producer.

Today's Debut Transmission 'Unnatural Mystic' is as arcane and unpredictable as its title suggests, with muffled chants that swirl through layers of relentless breaks and fuzzy pads. The track can be streamed exclusively below and picked up next month via digital download or red and orange marbled 12" vinyl.

A defining member of the hardcore techno scene in the early nineties and stretching his influence across a range of sub genres, from jungle to house music, there’s not one section of the cultural shifts since then which Nookie hasn’t seeped his influence into. Whether it’s been pivotal moments on imprints such as Labello Blanco, Reinforced, Moving Shadow or Good Looking, he’s proven the span of his creativity with every track he’s released across a plethora of labels. This continues with a brand-new single on Metalheadz, extending across an array of styles and a natural progression from his acclaimed remix of Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’.

The Rage mix of ‘Kaeya’ has already received support from radio icon Pete Tong as his 'Essential New Tune' which sets the standard for this release. With deep, heavy sub bass and pounding kick drums skipping underneath the track, softened slightly by its vocals this is a formidable record which speaks of the current climate and proof that club-orientated tracks are still having a seismic effect on listeners. The D&B mix flips the tempo, dipping between each note sequence with a lulling sense of security, meanwhile closing the single is its ‘96 rework, standing out through its rolling breaks and reminiscent feel.

They each pull together a seminal standalone offering from Nookie, and one which will reidentify fans with his commitment to musical exploration as well as the impression he’s had throughout his three decades worth of history, now proudly displayed under the Metalheadz banner. And this is just the start.

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.
