Label co-owner Moakz returns to Codename: RCRDS with Lunatic Age EP, featuring a select of uniquely styled dancefloor bangers which have been featuring heavily in his sets over the past few months, complemented by three storming remixes from some of the most talented artists currently at work in the scene.

The EP opens with the prophetic title track ‘Lunatic Age’, a hybrid of atmospheric synths, electrostep and jungle with a warning message which feels unnervingly prescient in light of current world events. ‘A Dark Future’ flips 4x4 beats into a deep atmospheric direction as its vocals muse on the dystopian influences of the roots of jungle and techno, before Mineral contributes his stunningly brutal rework of the same track, flipping intelligently between introspective moments and tearout drops.

The 2nd half of the release brings the well titled ‘Calm Before The Storm’, with hypnotic synth lines and rolling drums building things towards a crescendo before the track locks firmly into the groove with a rumbling bass that continually pushes things forward. Code Of Silence provides his signature tearing amen drum work to his rework of ‘Lunatic Age’, bringing the hardcore elements to the fore and adding an extra vocal for good measure. Last up is man of the moment Neekeetone’s vibrant remix of ‘Back To The Earth’, where warped basses and trademark precision break choppage escalate the original to fresh new heights.

Black Barrel - Dark Blocks [Premiere]

First in the series of Emphaseas Community releases will be the Dismantled EP. This is a Various Artists EP from young and talented producers from across Russia and the rest of the world. With the weekly stream series called 'Disassembly' we are focused on helping upcoming talents to improve their music. We want to give them a good starting point with this series and believe that this will play a crucial point in their musical careers.
Dismantled EP covers many sides of Drum & Bass genre: from the dark deep vibes in 'Simplistic' from Rend & Ation to DLR inspired 'Difficult Conversation' from Grim Hellhound. Not forgetting to mention soulful 'Feelings' from Alyness and experimental analogue inspired sound of 'Espionage' from Tenzor & Xend. Everyone can find something interesting for themselves.

We’re proud to present a very special release, one of the last projects that Andy Skopes and Madcap worked on together, prior to the sad loss of Andy Skopes to cancer in 2019. 

Understandably this release means a lot to Madcap and it is our great pleasure to release this incredible EP. 

‘Trouble’ began life as an instrumental and was written as  the pair’s interpretation of a roller. Madcap played an early demo on Rinse FM, with Singing Fats hosting as they appeared on Randall's 'R In Session' show. After hearing the tune during this set, Fats was keen to add his incredible talent to a vocal version of the track. It’s an honour to feature work from these artists along with Fats, given his long history and respected position in the scene. 

Madcap has went on to play the vocal & the 'Dub Mix' many times pre-lockdown, receiving very positive feedback & support.

'Scatter' has Andy's trademark reece bass & Madcap’s throwback Jungle influence, a combination that provided some awesome dancefloor moments, with the crowd almost sensing the fun the pair had writing the tune. 

Both Madcap and Andy Skopes are big fans of melody and epic, deep pads and so they wanted the final tune 'Empty Soul' to represent this. Showcasing yet another style they made so well together, it completes this sensational release in fine form.

Today, we’re delighted to exclusively bring you a flowing, magically barbaric taste of sumptuous breakbeat flavour from German dons Tweakz, Syncopix and Duktuz, forthcoming on the eponymous Syncopix Records. Just one foundational part of a cross-tempo, all-encompassing EP that includes another solo track in the form of ‘Planetary Dub’, collaborations and link-ups with the likes of Slay, EJ Kitto, Dava and Jamal Dilmen, plus two juxtaposed, hedonistic remixes from men-of-the-moment Nectax and Askel, you’re in for a real treat here. It’s a journey; it’s a story - filled with powerhouse vocal imagery and proficient, no-holds-barred production prowess across the board.

‘Obsidian’, which we’ve hosted for you today, is the perfect example of the sheer statement of signalled intent on the project. A tad more targeted at the stacks, bassbins and subs than some of the other more melodic and downtempo licks on the 7-tracker, ‘Obsidian’ weaves its way seamlessly through its luxurious intro segment, incorporating swift, breaksy percs and summer-etched background notions before lining up the subliminal switch on the b-line. We mentioned there was juxtaposition on show, and that’s exemplified again here. A lovely mix of funk, instrumentation and gnarly synthetics are demonstrated to their fullest extent, teasing and toying with expert precision, rounding out a truly fantastic long-form experience.
