Source Direct - Call & Response (Blade OST)

The wait is over, we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.

Jubei’s first L.P "To Have & Have Not" released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene. "To Have & Have Not" delivers exactly what you would expect – the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum & bass / dubstep within its purest and most credible form. 

There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft. It's not music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point "To Have & Have Not" from start to finish keeps it's roots set firmly in the music’s underground foundation. 

The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei’s incredible versatility with tracks that traverse & transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease. 

Each composition is within its own right a standout highlight. The track list includes a ridiculous amount of jaw-dropping collaborative talent. Credits for example see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP’s massive follow up to past release "Say Nothing" entitled "The Moment". "State of the Art" flips the script at 170+ with SP:MC on vocal duties.  Further co production credits on the album bring Jubei together the forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name a few.

Albums like this don’t come along every day and whilst some artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a select few can originate whilst continuing to cross boundaries so consistently. 

Thanks for listening.

The wait is over! Platinum Breakz 4 is here. Perhaps one of the most revered album series in drum & bass is back with a vengeance, and some are saying it maybe the best yet. This release is one of two samplers preceding the album.

This second track on sampler one is by Headz veteran Digital donning his dubstep hat. As you would expect with Digital he has taken it right back to the essence of dubstep as opposed to what it has become. Delay and reverb laden, Mini Cooper is sinister in its execution. It's a single light moving around a dark dancehall, typical Digital vibes on this, it's a welcome return to the label for Mr Carr.

The wait is over - PB4 is here. Perhaps one of the most revered album series in drum & bass is back with a vengeance, and some are saying it maybe the best yet. 

This 2 of 2 sampler for Platinum Breakz is a dancefloor led affair for DJs and dancers alike, but after you begin unwrapping the layers there is altogether different beast at hand. 

First on the double A side we have the triumvirate of Glenn & Zula A.I and DRS with Warhorse - A very apt title for a very powerful, uncompromising and snarling stepper, DRS spits venom and gives way to a screwface-bassline that envelopes everything in its path. The very definition of war horse is well and truly on display here. As opener for PB4 it really sets the tone for the album - No bullsh*t - Headz2014.

Available as a ltd white label 10" vinyl stamped with the Metalheadz logo and signed by the artists, this will be an essential purchase for any serious Metalheadz collector!

Friends and sparring partners Jubei and Consequence deliver perhaps one of the most dark tracks on the album. When we say dark we don’t mean horror- this is menacing, it has a huge foreboding sense of doom and hysteria. The track really feels like it’s in a straight jacket being transported between cells.

Born and raised in the same city as Goldie, SB81 may be familiar to you as Nolige but that’s old news - this is the new incarnation of an accomplished producer and it’s no holds barred Headz 2014.
 
* A: Blueprints
Pure and unadulterated jungle leads this  EP. SB81 starts as he means to go on with this one, pitched down vox and classic breaks move in a soldier style under pinned by big bass, a DJ’s dream as it rolls out unbroken until the string laden breakdown

SB81 - Blueprints (The Blueprints EP) [MethXX 07]

‣ Available here: bfan.link/30years-part2

Next up in the 30 Years of Metalheadz lathe cut series - two iconic tracks perfectly complimented by each other. 
 
First up is 'The Alpha Kemistry' - seeing the light of day for the very first time. Originally created by Goldie as a loop for Diane Charlemagne to sing over, this piece has sat quietly in the archives, untouched and unheard. It's a crucial fragment of our history and a key moment in Goldie's journey, now finally available in full form.
 
On the flip, we're bringing you a long-requested heavyweight: Benny L's 2018 remix of Alex Reece's legendary 'Pulp Fiction'. The original changed the game back in 1995, stripping things back and introducing a groove that would become foundational in drum & bass. Benny's remix takes that DNA and amplifies it for today's sound systems - a staple in Goldie's sets and a fitting tribute to one of the genre's most influential tracks.

Sheffield-based producer Wagz follows up on his Metalheadz debut with the five track 'Dreamcatcher EP'.

Where the 'Back Burner EP' introduced his warm and distinct approach to the label's catalogue, this new EP now expands upon those vibes - balancing stripped-back rhythms with atmospheric detail and delicate melodic touches. The result is a set of tracks that nod to the label's classic lineage while retaining Wagz's own signature style, with music that is functional on the floor but equally rewarding in close listening.

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.
