OTW Premiere: Neurotoxin - Component (Myth Remix) [Skalator Music]

At theethousand.co.uk, we continue to remain extremely proud of our efforts to continuously explore the full breadth of underground dance and bass music in search of bangers to discuss for you here on the site. Our quest often takes us far and wide, from the distant realms of electro house, back through all the way to the dungeounous deeps of the dubstep world, which we visit again today as we take a peek at the latest drop from Manuka, one of Manchesters most exciting label imprints to emerge over the last three years.

Headed up by Hypho and Xakra, the label has seen a steady, solid run of top quality releases since it's inception, with the mantra seeming to be to explore the space inbetween 4x4 and dubstep, pulling together some exciting themes and incredible compositions with a truly original vibe. Today we are getting involved with premiere duty on their latest drop as they invite the Mineapolis based Ternion Sound inside to deliver a three track wash of bass heavy goodness, this time exploring a much more UKG inspired set of rhythms which we simply can't get enough of.

Today's premiere sees us take 'Exploration 52', a computerized garage hybrid, slapping together an arrangement of well thought out, techy drum leads with some purposefully distorted bassline manouvres and some groovy melodic ideas to create an absolute animal of a riddim for the dance, making us keener than ever to return to the raves as soon as possible

We feel there definitely isn't enough priase being placed onto labels like Manuka who continue to push the boundaries of what underground music can be, with this premiere being a perfect example of that.

Commodo is back with ‘Stakeout’ EP — Vinyl/DL/Stream https://fanlink.to/Stakeout

‘Stakeout’ picks up where ‘Loan Shark’ left off, tapping back into the conceptual, crime-ridden Wild West first imagined across tracks like ‘Contraband’ and ‘Hot Pursuit’; “If anyone is working on a 22nd century film noir at the moment, this would make the perfect soundtrack” wrote Bandcamp back in June.

This sentiment echoes across the ‘Stakeout’ tracklist, which again details tracks that marry precision bass-weight and deft, nimble sampling techniques with nuanced flashes of genius; Commodo is no ordinary producer. From the swirling unease and sharp crackle of the title-track to the oddball, industrial swing of ‘Transit’ and menacing, Batman-style lurch of EP closer ‘Crooked’ Law’, ‘Stakeout’ forms the fascinating concluding chapter of Commodo’s latest Black Acre odyssey.

Sicaria Sound's @cutcrxss Records returns with a split EP from @saul-e and @hi5ghost. Hear the warped bass growls on Saule’s ‘Affliction’ now

Premiere: Saule ‘Affliction’

Straight out of Florence, Italy, OOH are a label that stand high upon their own mountain top. Across their growing catalogue, spanning twenty releases and counting, they bring a highly curated, avant-garde vibe with sound design lying at its core. They have played host to artists such as Peder Mannerfelt, Dale Cornish and Sim Hutchins among others. Continuing such a thread, they now prepare their twenty-first release from french duo, Glass, entitled 'crY' EP. 

Recently debuting with independent French label, Sante Records,Glass present a body of work that is full of meaning on 'crY' EP. Not simply a collection of productions but an expansive investigation into sound in the broadest sense. In their own words, 'crY' EP is 'a response to an explicit impulse to investigate modern commodification beyond its soothing, enjoyable and relaxing facade.' This can certainly be seen in Glass' sound design, juxtaposing elements of weirdo techno, jungle and experimental with nuances from gaming and other electronically related worlds.

On track 'Appointment Scheduling System', Glass have parsed a modernist take on jungle. The immediacy of unrelenting drum patterns pairs with raw samples from everyday life. Tension is built in the syncopation of elements from laser stabs to door knocks, the track is a pummeling fistful of energy.

Bay 6 Recordings' sister label Calibrate Records continue to impress with their high-octane mix of 'rolling beats, breaks and bass', drawing for that at maximum capacity here. We've witnessed the likes of Madusea, label boss Echo Motion, Rozfresh and more crop up on the imprint, who are pushing forward and going from strength to strength with each passing release. Now, they've locked the exciting, Chicago-based beatsmith Johnathan Thomas for a cracking 2-tracker, further embedding their commitment to driving a different sound than the sonics you can find over on Bay 6. It's a supreme, educated take on the vintage sound, evidenced in all its glory on 'A Vibe', a striking ode to the junglist, breakbeat era.

Johnathan Thomas - A Vibe [Calibrate Records] [OTW Premiere]

🔊 Buy / Stream: 
https://fanlink.to/CLBR005

ℹ | Johnathan Thomas debuts on Calibrate with 2 fresh cuts of Drum & Bass - Filled to the brim with crunchy beats & weighty bass.

"A Vibe" is a throwback to classic jungle cuts, but with a modern twist. There's oldschool pads, breakbeats and a slamming bassline to boot. "Rudeboi Walk" is a collaborative creation with fellow US-based producer Danky; taking on a more laid-back approach for the most part, before throwing down some fat amens, the good old fashioned way!
