Summertime, and the riddims are breezy. When the warm
weather heralds the arrival of festivals, carnivals and poolside
raving, it’s time to break out the new season’s collection
of beats. And, celebrating fifteen years deep in the game,
Technique Recordings are dropping a Summer Selection
album to soundtrack the sunshine properly. This first taste of
the album comes from label bosses Drumsound & Bassline
Smith who, judging by their show itinerary, know a thing or two about hyping a festival crowd.
It’s time for the ravers to raise up their hands immediately as Memories floats in. A rising chord structure delivered by a subtle combination of keys and pads provides a foundation for an elegantly percussive synth melody. Add in a ghostly vocal sample and this tune casually casts a cloud of euphoria over the party. The deal is sealed when the drop provides the weight of bubbling bass and effortlessly punchy drums to the mix. This is a tune that’s as uplifting in the midnight haze as it is under blue skies.
Then there’s a different mood for Primitive. Dramatic stabs kick a hole in the atmosphere, punctuating a pattern of ever-rising arpeggiation overlaid with a suspense-laden dialogue sample. And that’s just the intro, before sirens signal a build into a high-voltage drop made of a taut razor-wire bassline and uppercut-force kicks and snares. Rolling high-end percussion and those blockbuster synth-strikes keep the energy at IMAX dimensions. When it’s that time for the carnival crowd to properly let loose and go just a touch grimy, this is one to draw for.
So, Drumsound & Bassline Smith have shown us two angles on the sunlit rave experience. And with a decade and a half of experience feeding into the Summer Selection album, this is clearly just a small taste of what’s to come. Better grab your shades and your sunscreen, because Technique Recordings are about to light up the summer.

50 is a major number is any walk of life. 50 is always a major milestone for any record label. But when that label is Lifestyle, you know that the 50th release has to be something special. Welcome to L, a roman numeral denoting 50. Welcome to L, Lifestyle’s 50th release. 12 tracks from some of the finest artists on Lifestyle’s roster, the album serves as a celebration of the imprint moving forward with a new fusion of liquid and neurofunk drum & bass, or, as an anonymous responder has called it, 'melodic neurofunk’. Prepare for something beyond your imagination, as we get ready to launch L.

Kela’s Ergonomica sets the scene, with its shimmering electronic intro, and strong undertow of alluring bassline. The producer builds things up to drop them down, and the opening picture is completed with rushy breaks and headstrong beats. A.S.K. contributes the ethereal Elemental, which drops piano-led lusciousness over moving bass and well-engineered beats, before Lockjaw looks into the Mirror Image. As ever with Lifestyle, the whole of the album is incredibly well produced, with detailed, evocative music on each and every track. The new direction is innovative, exciting and fresh to death.

Jazzatron’s Dedicato is deep, dark and dangerous, whilst still maintaining poise and precision, whilst Borderline, by Despicable Youth, blends old skool-ish samples and a huge, sliding drum attack that will have you reaching for the rewind. Kela reappears with Jump Down, a beautiful mixture of floating background and straight-up funky beats, before label boss Catharsis comes with No Good
.
Taelimb strikes gold once again with the marauding Teacup, an effortless gaze into just what our music can offer in the right hands, and Instinkt represents Plymouth on his track. Lockjaw’s epic Idol appears not only in its original form, but also as the Sensus remix, before SubCorp closes things out with Bee +.

Lifestyle Recordings have a major new album on their hands, so make sure it drops into yours. L is for life, love and Lifestyle.

Viper Recordings launched their new ‘The Sound of Drum & Bass’ compilation series last year to high acclaim worldwide. Registering in at #12 in the official UK Dance Albums chart, following the 2015 edition was going be a challenging task, but Futurebound’s forward thinking label is never one to shy away from a challenging task.

From start to finish, #SODNB is chock-full of Drum & Bass superstars; Matrix & Futurebound, Noisia, The Upbeats, Cyantific, The Prototypes, InsideInfo, Mefjus, Tantrum Desire, Rene LaVice, as well as legendary dance pioneers The Prodigy, who all sit seamlessly alongside Viper’s rising stars: Smooth, Trei, Mob Tactics, BMotion, and more.

With such a stacked lineup, at this point you’d think that was enough… but not when Futurebound is at the helm. Viper head honcho and A&R mastermind, Futurebound, has squeezed in 12 new unreleased Viper exclusive tracks from legends and newcomers such as: J Majik, Trei, North Base, Wickaman, Insomniax, Loko, Killer Hertz, Six Blade, Cynematic, Dossa & Locuzzed, Toronto Is Broken, NCT & Franky Nuts, Citybox, and Octo-Pi & Modify Perspective. This all wrapped up with a bonus DJ mix by the mighty Koven.
