Back on Dispatch following 2019's Sub Rosa’ and ‘Orbital’ EPs, Ben England aka Natural Forces delivers the stunning ‘Sense Memory EP’. Formerly one half of dnb production duo Basic Unit, his output as Natural Forces takes a much deeper and reflective tone – exploring minimal liquid sounds, packed with the type of progression and intricate details that make his music a perfect fit for Dispatch Recordings.

Title track ‘Sense Memory’ is a reflective, minimal stepper built around filtered vocals and classic liquid funk elements. Reminiscent of that early Creative Source sound, this one almost sounds straight from the dancefloors of Swerve.

Guiding things into tougher territory throughout the EP, Native Elements shows he knows how to work a bass synth just right, from the rolling ‘Birthright’ to the abstract jazz fused jungle drums of ‘Genesis’ via the heavy-hitting ‘Identity’. As the experimental track ‘Downwards’ rolls out, the snarling bass and off-key synth lead the listener deeper. The final track, ‘Lower Decks’, sees Natural Forces in full choppage mode, with precision edits and drumfunk-esque chops completing the EP with a heavyweight banger.

‣ Pre-order 2x white vinyl gatefold album: bfan.link/shoretoshorealbum
‣ General release date: 22 April 2022

'Shore to Shore’ is the debut album set to drop from Phase on Metalheadz, and after the artist’s history on the label, it was the next obvious step for both him as well as the imprint. Handpicked by Metalheadz label boss Goldie, the Belgium native residing in Switzerland is following in the footsteps of a Beatport No.1 on Metalheadz with his collaboration ‘Call In Me’ alongside Grey Code with a brand new album.

‘Shore to Shore’ brings back the all-encompassing listening experience of an album. With thirteen brand new records offered by the producer, each selection is as immersive as the next. Beginning with its title track, it delivers layer upon layer of cascading breaks and stunning vocal crescendos from LaMeduza and it’s the optimum way for Phase to pull you into his domain. ‘Stress Out’ and ‘Frameworks’ provide a darker climate, juxtaposed by the ethereal tones of ‘Flowstone’ and ‘Cloud Contours’. The more stripped back assembly of ‘Something’s Missing’ pushes against the drum rhythms of ‘Inner Schism’, whilst LaMeduza appears once again for ‘Thirds’ and ‘Good For Nothing’. ‘Quick Fix’ flips the switch with its subterranean levels meanwhile the grooves of ‘Tatter Tune’ add more to the track list’s diversity. Ending the album comes ‘Riven’ with its jazz-inspired breakdowns and ‘Only One’ with UK talent Tyler Daley – a name in his own right and highlighting the scope at Phase’s fingertips.

Even the album’s artwork, hand-painted by Italian designer Matteo Saccò is a visual representation of the album's journey. Mirroring its audio experiences of different emotions and turbulences throughout, it repackages these themes in a visual format. Highlighting once again that ‘Shore to Shore’ truly is an all-encompassing project.

For the burgeoning producer, ‘Shore to Shore’ is one of his biggest projects. It lays bare the musicality he has available to him through years of dedication to the craft and with a combined journey, Metalheadz was the perfect place for its release. It proves that alongside several singles laying in its wake, April is looking to be another important month for both the producer and the LP’s home at Metalheadz.

A futuristic project from Mr Joseph and Andy Skopes, Does Not Compute takes on a personality of its own, returning for two tracks of dark, moody beats. Full of atmosphere and low-slung sub lines, the latest release on V is dark and rolling in equal measure. 

Brutal, metallic and calculated throughout, the latest release on V sees the long awaited return of the forward thinking collaboration ever since its debut 'Wheels of Steel' 3 years ago. 

The lead track sees Does Not Compute become three with Pennygiles joining on production duties.'Stalker' continues the 3am vibes of their debut release, offering up deep, relentless bass and brutal drums that wouldn't be out of place in an early Headz track, far from the paradise of Mr Joseph's 'Floating Island EP'.  'Innit Bruv' is the soundtrack to a gritty, inner-city rave, combining old school pads, and vocals Detroit techno influences for some seriously haunting atmosphere. It fuses sounds of the past with a booming, bang up to date bassline. Another wicked release from V Recordings, the second offering from Does Not Compute was well worth the wait.

Rollyax - Intuition

At Detached, we've always tried to push new and fresh talent forward and for the third part of our 5 year celebrations, this ethos remains unchanged. We welcome back Echo Motion, Flicka, Karma Kingdom and Toss-T to the label while giving a warm welcome to Rozfresh and R4NS0M. This 6 track EP shows off the breadth and depth of the label over the years while also looking firmly towards the future.

Up first is man of the hour, Echo Motion. This talented artist has been on fire in the last few months, with stunning liquid on labels such as Celsius Recordings, Glitch Audio and Riddim Records. We are proud to be the home for one more arrow in his bow, in the form of 'Buried Treasure'. A classic liquid roller as he does best, with a warm bassline carrying a haunting vocal, this is sure to be on repeat through the following cold nights.

Next up is Flicka, who we welcomed to the label last year in the form of his free download, 'Muted'. 'Gator Skin' follows on from where Flicka left off. An eerie, Western-influenced guitar hook takes the lead while a sensual saxophone and smooth piano chords foreshadow a gritty roller with the perfect balance of weight and soul.

Rozfresh makes his debut to Detached with 'What', a tech-influenced stepper filled with his signature sound that's made us keep an eye on him. Watch out for the breakdown which provides a moment of unexpected calm before we're led back in this steam train of a track!

We proudly welcome back Italy-based Karma Kingdom for his first solo outing on the label. 'Cry Me A River' is a dramatic, jungle-influenced piece which carries the unusual sound palette that we've come to love from this artist throughout his career. This piece harkens back to the label's past whilst staying fresh and novel.

Our penultimate track is from Toss-T, who we welcomed to the label earlier this year with his beautiful free download, 'Melancholy'. 'Chronessence' showcases a new, darker side to Toss-T's sound, where he employs South Asian Carnatic instrumentation for a deep roller. The unconventional melodies make this a treat for those who enjoy fusions of incredibly different styles.

Finally, we welcome R4NS0M to the label for the closing, sombre notes of this various artist release. 'Scene: Anamnesis' envelopes us in from the first sound, with fiery crackles and airy atmospherics paving the way to a dark, old-school roller with a modern aesthetic and rugged basslines.

With our final release of the year, we'd like to wish everyone who's stayed with us for the last 5 years a very happy holiday season, and we hope you've enjoyed all we've had to offer! We've had a wealth of different styles on the label in the last 12 months, and this EP only adds more to the diversity which we are proud of upkeeping.

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.
