HOO12 05. THUGWIDOW & Bruised Skies - I Need It (Response Remix)

@basicrhythm & @bloodtrust - Blood Rhythm EP.

This innovative collaboration between electronic musician Basic Rhythm (Anthoney J Hart) and rising star Blood Trust (Quinn Smith) features four tracks of dark, experimental drum and bass, inspired by the late 1990s.

Basic Rhythm, known for his London underground dance music roots, blends UK dance music heritage with contemporary sounds. Blood Trust, on the other hand, transcends genre boundaries, focusing on atmospheric narratives to challenge conventional electronic music perceptions.

The "Blood Rhythm EP" showcases the sweet spot between Basic Rhythm's raw dance floor approach and Blood Trust's atmospheric sound. Expect a powerful, dark, and immersive journey back to the golden age of drum and bass, while still exploring new sonic territories.

Release date: June 2023

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.

SB81 - Bad Trip (Out-of-Body Experience Mix)

The Iliads series has enabled us to return to the original sound of the label, and to explore the styles of our original artists. This third volume digs into the darker dystopian Hokusai sound, most notably with the 2 A-side tracks Beyond Measure & Papillon. The B-side track 'Listen With Intelligence' is an ode to the golden age of 1994-7 Atmospheric Jungle. The whole E.P. is vintage Odysee with rolling intricate breaks, deep sub-lines and a whole array of those trademark deep electronic & film-noire samples! 300 Clear 140gm Vinyls on their way as we speak:) Out end of September 2024

New Breaks & Beats Podcast is here with episode #25.

Had so much fun doing this one.
I know I’m a corny sap, but somehow felt really stoked once again that DNB is in my life and has been for 25+ years.
2020 was a weird year, but music truly was the one thing that made sense, so it only felt relevant to make some moves that do make sense early in 2021.
Starting off with some jungle and proceeding towards dark breaks stuff, which always works so well this time of the year, as it’s so effing dark most of the time, at least here in Finland.
