Ed Rush & Optical - Medicine (VRS001) Virus 1998

She is whispering in your ear some voodoo sh*t, a journey to some other place, hold onto your hat!!

Ed Rush, Optical & Fierce - Alien Girl (Prototype 1998)

One of my personal favourites from our early releases on Virus. Taken from VRS003 'Ed Rush & Optical's 3rd single on the label in 1998.

ED RUSH & OPTICAL - 'Satellites' (VIRUS RECORDINGS)1998

I really love the atmosphere of this tune. It takes me to somewhere else for a while. Josh Wink was and is a great inspiration to us here at Virus.

07. Fixation - Ed Rush & Optical

ED RUSH & OPTICAL - 'Fixation' - Wormhole LP - Virus

Optical remix for the seminal No-U-Turn label of 'We Enter' featuring the classic sound of Rymetyme on the MIC.

Rymetyme - 'We Enter' (Optical Remix) No-U-Turn 1999

'My Tearz' features on the first vinyl sampler for Lenzman's forthcoming album 'Looking At The Stars'

Steo may well be one of the best singers we have in the game right now. His falsetto glides over rugged plains on My Tearz. His range is wide and the level of soul he brings to a track is unmatched. The beat is a slight departure for Lenzman in that beauty is put on the shelf and grimy is the order of the day with midrange bass and stepping drums working out against Steo’s vocals.

Skankandbass is dedicated towards the official promotion of record labels and artists in the world of drum & bass music. Since inception in 2010, Skankandbass has unearthed some of the freshest talents in the scene and has opened many doors for unsigned artists. Now, a few years in to the game, Skankandbass decides to take on the role of a record label to put together a series of free download singles which aims to further help spread the work of the best unsigned, newcomer artists who deserve more recognition.

We’re very excited to propel Deadline to the forefront with their debut single release ’Through Your Eyes / Bitter’ as premiered on BBC Radio 1 and Noisia Radio respectively. Pete and Ollie set up the project in March 2016 and have already become Skankandbass residents for our live events as well as Shogun Audio. Having made their international and Fabric debuts in 2017, 2018 will be their biggest year yet.

“Sprouted and Formed” is the inaugural album from enthralling electronic duo Rawtekk. Hailing from Hamburg in Germany, Rawtekk initially caught the attention of Med School with the sublime “Snowflakes” which features on the 2011 edition of the label’s popular “New Blood” compilation series.

Rawtekk will also be a familiar name to discerning fans of techy/neuro drum & bass, having released on labels such as Subtitles and Noisia’s Division Recordings. Past collaborations include tracks with fellow Hamburg resident and close friend Phace (Neosignal).

Fast forward to 2013 and Stefan and Christine return to Med School with their first ever full-length long-player which effortlessly combines precision engineering with elegant song-writing sensibilities.

Opener “A Magnanimous Kind’s Will” is a beautiful, dreamy utterance with a distinctive take on dubstep, whilst elsewhere we have eerie, melancholy tracks such as “Anywhere” juxtaposed with introspective drum & bass cuts like “Photone Recruits” and the spaced-out beatless melodies of “Ventricle”.

Keeping us on our toes, Rawtekk really up the ante with tough, gnarly drum & bass numbers “To Be A Space Monkey” and “Monopolists And Robberies” which dominate the second half of the album with their impressive force.

“Sprouted and Formed” is a captivating story told through a range of soundscapes and emotions… profound and haunting, surreal and cinematic, brutish yet sensitive, bringing together complexity and simplicity.
