Buy 'Lantern': https://dispatchrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/eidolon-ep

Up next on Ant TC1’s Dispatch Recordings, Italian producers Ephyum & Invadhertz present a fresh, brand-new collaborative project that’s plucked straight out of the 174 top-drawer - the ‘Eidolon’ EP.

As expected, it’s stellar output all-round from the Italian masterminds; ‘Escapism’ is a cracking, flitting rollout of cascading percs, searing, sci-fi inspired reeses and fleeting, echoed vox - it’s like Dispatch meets Interstellar in a cluster of head-bobbing chaos. ‘Deadlock’ is effortlessly progressive and inherently robotic in its sublime minimalistic nature, whilst lead track ‘Eidolon’ (a spirit-image of a living or dead person; a shade or phantom look-alike of the human form in Ancient Greek literature) is aggressive, moody and ruthlessly intelligent, stoking a fire of prominence and ill-willed bassweight - disgusting. Finally, ‘Lantern’ brings just a touch of ease to proceedings, but not for long. Rippling, jagged synthetics and unfathomably evil background movements provide the perfect closing point for this standout collaboration, certainly one of the finest we’ve heard from the continent. We can’t wait to hear more.

Buy 'Funk Tune': https://counterpointrecordings.com/album/funk-tune-nero-say-what

If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that Counterpoint Recordings are one of the most exciting imprints in the game right now. With a keen ear for no-nonsense drum & bass of the highest calibre, they’ve marked themselves as a consistent go-to for quality and sonic perfection, clearly highlighted by their run of stellar recent releases.

Continuing this trend of monstrous progression, up next they welcome an engimatic artist, producer and selector that they’ve been chasing for a while now - German boss Acid_Lab, who stands as a cult figure for many a beatsmith in his native Germany and beyond.

For the 10th iteration of our OTWMIX series, we're delighted to welcome a producer who we think is arguably one of the next big prospects in minimally-minded drum & bass - Housty. The Bristol-based beatsmith has really stepped up the pace as of late, releasing with the likes of OTW favourites Identity Records and picking up support from Onyx Recordings & Incurzion Audio along the way. After premiering a few of his stellar releases and hearing he had a 100% own production mix en-route, we just had to lock this down and get it out - enjoy!

SkinzMann - Air Max 90 feat. Kdot (Palize Remix) [Titanium Audio] [OTW Premiere]

Standout upcoming Drum & Bass label Monk Audio continue to set both trends and pace among the new school with their latest EP, courtesy of the supremely talented Mela. Based out of Guildford, Mela has already contributed a slew of high profile, high octane 175 cuts to the ever-growing Monk discography and his latest effort, the lead track from this latest EP, is the pick of the bunch. 'LDN' builds on the success and frightening ferocity of 'Recognise' and the 'Valley Low' EP to create a sumptuous beast, led by Break-influenced drums and percs and a ruptured, seething bassline. It's a big comparison to make, but it's deservedly earnt here.

Mela - LDN [Monk Audio] [OTW Premiere]

After breaking through over the past two years with a string of high-quality releases, Monk Audio are back with their next unforgiving Drum & Bass release. The Monk collective have a strong penchant for bringing through quality new talent, and with a keen eye for slick production, this drop from Leatherhead-producer No Patterns is certainly no exception. 'Feel It' fuses a perfectly combined vocal & opening melody with a haunting & evocative bassline, rupturing its self-created atmosphere as it rolls through its 4 minute duration. The B-side is equally as gully, spraying off real gritty, 5am dancefloor vibes; head over to the Monk page to grab that for free. We'll be heavily supporting both of these pristine cuts.

Release Date: 02/03/20

We're back, and thoroughly delighted to welcome upcoming Irish UKG hotshot Prozak to the OTW family. Recently reaching the last 8 of the Kiwi Kup with his impeccable remix of Prescribe Da Vibe's 'Cool Today', the future is looking increasingly bright for the young talent. As evidenced by the copious amounts of immensely talented new producers and stellar sonic creations, UKG's revival is in full swing, allowing the likes of Prozak to go to town on the production. We've linked up with him to present 'Let U Kno', a 4x4 UKG summer shella plucked from the dizzy heights of the top drawer, fully doing justice to Aaliyah's stunning original. It's all blue skies & warm breeze; showcasing Prozak's position as an evocative & imaginative beatsmith, as well as a stonecold don in the production hotseat. Supported on Rinse FM by Conducta and a number of others from across the scene, make sure you pick this one up now for free! Heater.

Norwich-based beatsmith Substance arrives on Helix Records for his latest release, following a jam-packed year that saw the high-tempo don draw heavy support from the likes of T>I, Annix, Sub Zero, AC13, Disrupta & more, whilst also releasing a slew of sharp, well-received drops from across the entirety of the Drum & Bass spectrum. Linking up with south coast partystarters Helix on this high-octane 174 lick, 'Scatta' takes the form of a dancefloor-primed, pinpoint DnB cut, always upping the energy & fluidity but never sacrificing on technique or musicality.

DIS:TURBED's newly-founded Identity Records imprint kicks off with a huge bang, bringing through 4 of the Drum & Bass scene's most exciting talents for a dark, subterranean debut EP. Here, we see a selection of upcoming powerhouses go to town on the much-loved minimal sound, namely Recon, Half Cab, Medusa and Hickupz, the latter of which we recently dropped a collaborative Premiere / Free Download with, check that via our 'Free Downloads' playlist. Back to this EP, and we're treated to a masterclass in devilish sonics from Recon, who's kicked up a storm on 'Dark Places'. Fabulously textured and warped, this is plucked straight out of the top-drawer from a producer who's sure to go on to do big things in the scene. Clicky, snappy percs meet sharp, robotic atmospherics in a hybrid of sounds that works perfectly - what an opener.

Following standout releases on the likes of Unplugged Audio, Audio Addict, Omen Audio & Kobun, as well as a notable appearance on ByTheProducer's chart-topping 'Collected:1' VA compilation and a number of heavily-supported, lauded self releases, 174 trailblazer BRUK returns to sub:stance recordings with a brand new 4-track project that unleashes a number of long-awaited cuts. Already receiving heavy support from Bladerunner, Doc Scott, Nicky Blackmarket, DJ Hybrid, Benny V and more, there's no shortage of hype around BRUK's production and technical prowess, with the young producer pushing sonic boundaries to maximum effect. This results in an aggressive barrage of 4 bass-heavy, full-frontal licks that kick like a 50. cal, perhaps showcased best on 'Say My Name'. Making great use of that classic vocal, BRUK combines stonecold, submersive aesthetics with that hard-hitting, gritty rolling sound that's so popular right now. A dream partnership for both artist and label.

Full Article → https://www.onthewax.com/sounds/exclusive-syran-deliver-huge-new-remix-of-toronto-is-broken-x-deuce-chargers-always-in-motion-otw-premiere

As the hype, schedule and promotional campaign for Toronto Is Broken’s forthcoming, genre-nullifying third album begins to ramp up and skyrocket, we’ve been treated to a real humdinger in the form of a new remix from the expressive, aggressive sonic minds of the exciting, upcoming SyRan duo. Taking the form of  the third single on the highly-promising, imminent ‘Clare’ album, the original cut saw YANA Music head-honcho Toronto Is Broken link up with with the emotive, illustrious singer/producer duo Deuce & Charger for a multi-faceted, wholly unique hybrid of Metalcore and Drum & Bass; a high-octane combination that we’re definitely keen to hear more of.

Then, in come SyRan. The gritty Peterborough-based pairing have seen a stratospheric rise as of late, implementing and showcasing a heralded style of impaling, cataclysmic Jungle-influenced 174 that has been tearing off heads left, right and centre. A permanent fixture in the sets of Andy C and many more, SyRan were quickly picked up by Andy’s legendary RAM Records imprint, first for 2019’s ‘Paradigm’ EP and then two widely-supported singles - ‘Telepathy’ and ‘For You’, which both dropped this year to great critical reception. 

All in all, this is a cracking, seminal meeting of three different sets of artistic qualities, but one that still moulds together perfectly, blending SyRan’s vintage-yet-modern Breakbeat aesthetics and droning, longitudinal bassweight movements with Toronto Is Broken and Deuce & Charger’s copiously brilliant original lick. We’ve got the exclusive OTW premiere for you to listen to here, and we’re delighted to reveal that the main man Toronto Is Broken will be joining us for a full, in-depth Focus interview feature in the near future, as well as jumping in the hotseat for our OTWMIX series.

Full Article → https://www.onthewax.com/sounds/exclusive-label-boss-zefer-presents-his-magical-debut-2-tracker-on-innovative-ukg-startup-steppers-club-otw-premiere

Following a cracking launch EP that showcase their carefully-selected, finely-tuned roster in all it’s glory, exciting UKG startup Steppers Club return with their next celebrated, vintage tinge of nu-skool Garage hedonism. That first acclaimed VA offering, entitled First Steps, which featured label stalwarts Sensa, Oppidan, Minista, Sam Deeley and head-honcho Zefer, saw a metric tonne of support from across the underground, with premieres from us here at On The Wax, a track host from our friends over at The 3000 Network, an exclusive Instagram interview and feature with the guys over at Bass Hive and an in-depth appearance on Meltout Crew’s Reprezent Radio show. All in all, a stellar, groove-infused showing from an incredibly solid, norm-defying platform that’s still very much in its infancy.

Now, and epitomising everything we love about the current UKG revival, label boss Zefer presents his debut 2-tracker, returning to the fold after a slew of sick recent releases, the most recent of which was the locked, stocked and smoking ‘Praise Ya’ drop on Beastwang, who they themselves have overwhelmingly cemented their stance as a real platform to watch, serving up seriously special cuts from the likes of Champion, MPH, Tenshu, Earthnut, Kobe JT, Higgo, Zero and plenty more. 

As its basis, this new 2-track offering from the Steppers Club bossman is uplifting, inherently joyful, sunshine-etched and positively teeming with refined musicality, all facets we instantly look for from both artist and label. Wonderfully adept at working with both original vocalists and carefully-selected, pinpoint samples, the first track sees Zefer utilise the simply gorgeous, velvet vocals of Charlotte Meldrum on ‘Let Me Know’, a 4x4 NUKG lick that provides a sharp glance in that vintage back-mirror, whilst also hammering down that modern aesthetic. It’s stunning writing all round, from both Zefer and Meldrum, with all that flittering, patterned instrumentation providing a gleeful backdrop for the vocals to go to town on.  Has UKG ever sounded so good?

The B-side, ‘Sugar N’ Spice’, is slightly more dancefloor-focused, but it still retains every bit of rhythm, artistic prowess and gilded marksmanship of the aforementioned first track, and we’re delighted to be exclusively hosting it here at OTW. Whereas Meldrum’s vocal hooks take centre-stage on ‘Let Me Know’, Zefer’s keen ear for sampling allows his mesmerising production to full roll out here, experimenting with a plethora of instruments and percs, showcasing his funky aptitude in all its glory. Overall, another stellar showing from both Steppers Club and Zefer - long may it continue.

Following the immense, sustained success of his debut OTW free DL release 'Menace', which received widespread support from the likes of Phibes, Mr Raving Face and many, many more, we're delighted to present Aydn's much-anticipated return to the platform. 'Chasers' represents a refinement and maturity in the hotly-tipped beatsmith's sound; where 'Menace' was gritty, raw and uncompromising, 'Chasers' takes us deeper, bringing forth an intro that lurks and teases the madness that's inbound. A sharp, ascending build leads into a simply mammoth bassline that's equal parts blinding, effervescent roller and deep, minimal stomper. This one hits perfectly on all levels, and we're truly humbled to have a played a part in what's surely just the start of Aydn's rise to Drum & Bass stardom.

Back with yet more of the finest industrial, cavernous Drum & Bass, Identity Records round off a fantastic 2020 with another 4-tracker to be massively proud of. Solidly cementing themselves as one of the very top imprints to watch moving into 2021, their no-frills focus on bringing through minimal, techy Drum & Bass has set them apart from their counterparts, with an emphasis on quality over quantity that's really paying dividends. Last time out, Jenks & Esoro, Resslek, Recon and Melodrama excelled, and with this iteration, Identity welcome Scaypo & Housty, Geo and Khramer & Muten, as well as ushering in Melodrama's return. Today, we've locked a premiere scorcher from messers Scaypo & Housty, who deliver a sumptuously minimal number for the EP.

Luxurious, warm, tasteful and wonderfully vibrant - Spektralsound’s latest dashing delivery on Hypho & Xakra’s bountiful Manuka Records is a beautifully written piece of magic, and further solidifies both their exciting cross-sonic growth, and Manuka’s deft willingness to crush boundaries and genre norms. ‘Sunset Somewhere’ fully exemplifies these qualities, with the Bristol/London pairing bringing together their self-titled penchant for ‘spectral transmissions from a submerged future’, and glueing that together with Manuka’s high-key focus on the very best in new, cutting-edge atmospherics, usually landing between 130-140BPM. It’s safe to say, this one’s straight into our rotation, and it’ll stay there for the foreseeable.

If there's one thing for certain, there's simply no one smashing it quite like our friends at Kingpin Production at present; when you take a step back and just look at their growth as a flourishing independent entity, it's completely unparalleled. Pushed forth by the tutelage and enigmatic A&R know-how of inspiring label boss Oli Edmunds (aka DJ Mayhem), the Kingpin powerhouse continues to go from strength to strength at a truly alarming rate, picking up droves of new fans en-route. In fact, it wouldn't surprise us if Kingpin have helped introduced an entirely new wave of drum & bass heads, such is their organic reach and artistic influence.

We're delighted to have got them in for a long-overdue OTWMIX feature as part of our laser-focused 'Check The Label' series, which hones in on the very best imprint talent around, enabling them to tell their story in full, whether through words or gritty, mud-drenched musical output. Curated by DJ Mayhem, this mix is a showcase of a tonne of new exclusives, both originals and forthcoming remixes, providing a foundation for their much-anticipated move into paid releases. Stick this one on loud.
