It's been just over year since Lenzman’s debut album Looking At The Stars dropped and we're happy to give you the follow up remix EP. The artists have been hand picked by Lenzman himself and everyone involved has done an amazing job

Lenzman - Lazy Dub (Zero T Remix)

Due to popular demand, we've pulled this one out of the archives... 

Back in 2010, Gilles Peterson recorded a special Brownswood Basement show focusing on the evolution of drum & bass through the 90s and into the 00s. It was by no means a comprehensive history of the genre, but it did represent an excellent snapshot of the tunes that struck a chord with Gilles back then. 100% vinyl (and acetates), Gilles spent the best part of a day rummaging through hundreds of records and picked out around 40 of his favourite tracks from the likes of Alex Reece, Peshay, Goldie, Drumagick, Roni Size and Photek… then @alex-patchwork got deep in the mix. Here then, is the first hour-long mix that made up that show - no links, jingles or drops - just the music. We hope you enjoy it.

After 15 years working with a huge spectrum of DnB greats, London based Irishman Cian McCann aka Zero T has long since established his place in the scene. From his early days in Dublin with the Bassbin label to working with the likes of Calibre,4 Hero, Klute, Alix Perez, Rockwell and Noisia, he has never stood still. 2008's Cheap Shots LP for Total Science's CIA Records was a high point, with lead track Walk Away bringing vocalist Steo to the worlds attention.

Fierce has been at the forefront of the drum & bass scene since the mid 1990s, starting with his early excursions at No U-Turn from the tender age of 16 to his involvement in some of the scene's seminal musical moments such as 'Alien Girl', 'Locust', 'The End' and 'Tightrope' on prestigious labels including Prototype, Metro, Virus, Ram, BC, DSCi4, DNAudio and 31 Records.  As well as bringing his undoubted skills to the table on the production front, Fierce has long been known as one of the most exciting and energetic DJs around, widely respected by both his peers and drum & bass fans alike. Still harbouring an insatiable love for dubplates and vinyl ahead of MP3s, CDs and USBS, Fierce really is a DJs' DJ, bringing sounds from across the spectrum and uniquely fusing tracks together in the mix to create a new and fresh sound every time.

Fierce and Zero T has become a formidable collaboration of late. The pair work from individual studios throwing ideas back and forth and the results speak for themselves. Bonesmen is classic era Reinforced and Metalheadz all over, brought bang up to date with Fierce’s trademark roll out aesthetic. The AA side- In Circles is takes the same rolling function but on a totally different route, soulful and uplifting but still not compromising what the pair have become known for.

Artificial Intelligence - Is This Real (Zero T Remix)

Late Night Jungle Session

@zerot
We're stoked to release our latest Minirig Mixtape, from none other than Drum and Bass legend Zero T! With a career spanning over 20 years since his first release, Irishman Cian McCann has solidified his name through both his own releases, as well as collaborations with the likes of Calibre, Alix Perez, Icicle and Noisa over the years. With a 6 track EP forthcoming on Metalheadz on Feb 7th, we're delighted to bring you an hour of dnb goodness... with a cheeky few not-yet-released numbers in there for good measure.

Zero T - Minirig Mixtape

Nominated as one of Reggaeville's best albums of 2019, Origin One's "Deeply Rooted" covered many bases, showing the producers deep love of dub, reggae, dancehall, hip hop and also jungle. Entrenched in the Nottingham soundsystem scene, the influences run deep, none more so than on the jungle infused "Tribute". Enlisting the help of drum & bass legend MC Spyda (known for the anthem "Tarantula" amongst many others) and afro warrior K.O.G, this tune proved very popular with fans, so we thought it only right we give it a proper release with a couple of remixes.

Stepping up first is Metalheadz very own Zero T who gives the track a sparse rolling relick, throwing back to the classic vibe of 90s drum & bass whilst keeping the emotions raw and the drums choppy. Doing the rounds as an exclusive dub for over 6 months has helped buld the demand for this killer remix. Next up, Italian soundboys Sub Alpine get their smoke on for a digital rubadub rework, building a whole new riddim from the ground up and adding their own style.

The highly esteemed Irish duo Zero T & Beta 2 are back on Metalheadz with the 'Exiles EP' - a true, modern-day reproduction of the vintage Metalheadz sound that cemented the labels roots 25 years ago.

Comprising of 6 tracks on the full release, the EP can at times destroy dancefloors with the likes of 'Exiles' and 'Dead Cert', whilst the richly enchanting tones of 'Misdemeanour' and 'Altered Destiny' swiftly serenade the listener at every opportunity. This is a true epitomisation of the definition of a complete package and one that has so far had a strong response from the duo’s peers and heroes within the scene, with a call from Dillinja to Goldie justifiably being the icing on the cake.

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.
