What started as an experiment, born in the stillness of the early months of 2020, Metalheadz and SB81 are proud to present 'B292'.

The largest body of music ever released by Metalheadz, 'B292' is made up of 29 tracks across 2 defined parts with a strong emphasis on old skool influences. It's SB81's experiences as a youth that give him a real understanding of this era, something that cannot be replicated and where authenticity always stands tall. 

Beginning as a small batch of tracks it wasn't long before Goldie encouraged SB81 to explore the idea of an album, and via several trips around Low Hill in Wolverhampton (where SB81 lived until the age of 30), it was here where the nostalgia and drive took hold for good. 

SB81 calls this project a 'pre-1994 Metalheadz sound', and although no 29-track album deserves such a brief description it does seem so fitting - even more so with a huge amount of respect and admiration for labels such as Reinforced, Production House and Moving Shadow embodied throughout. 

Make no mistake, this is in no way purely an album that tries to recreate the old. The music at its core remains as cutting edge as ever with a fresh on the ears feel and a rave-ready approach. 

SB81's 'B292' releases in full on 31st May 2024, including a 4x coloured vinyl package, bespoke full colour sleeve designed by the incredibly talent EPOD and a bonus box set available exclusively via the Metalheadz website and 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.

Chelsmosis – DJ & Producer

With over a decade of experience behind the decks, Chelsmosis has carved out a name for herself in the bass music scene, specializing in deep dubstep, reggae, dub techno, steppas, and heavy basslines. Her signature sound blends deep, immersive frequencies with rich, roots-driven energy, creating a powerful experience on the dancefloor.

Recently, Chelsmosis has expanded her musical footprint by releasing music with Denver-based collectives Coal Mine Sound, Middle Earth Entertainment, and Loveland Sound. Her latest productions, crafted in collaboration with Badbwoy BMC, further showcase her evolving artistry and dedication to the sound system culture.

She is an integral part of Loveland Sound and Middle Earth Entertainment, two collectives pushing the underground bass movement in Colorado. After a year of dominating DJ battles, her skills and presence caught the attention of Denver’s renowned bass music production company, Submission, earning her a well-deserved spot as the newest Electronic Tuesdays resident.

Chelsmosis continues to push boundaries, both as a selector and a producer, delivering deep, weighty bass music that resonates with sound system lovers worldwide.
