Octopamine, Forthcoming  on Citrus Recordings &amp;gt; http://www.triplevision.nl/label/Citrus+Recordings

Octopamine was first discovered by Italian scientist Vittorio Erspamer in 1948 in the salivary glands of the octopus and has since been found to act as neurotransmitter, neurohormone and neuromodulator in invertebrates. It is widely used in energy-demanding behaviors by all insects, crustaceans (crabs, lobsters, crayfish), and spiders.

Owing to lack of research, much is not known about octopamine or its role in humans.

Soulmatter is balanced track, tends to sit on the thin line between melodic soundscapeish movie plot and darker action packed imagination. Oposite sides merge in the middle of the track as carefully planned pads connects both ends of the track as theme carriers.

While The Upbeats may explain their choice of album title with the humble statement “We’re not super tech geeks, we’ve always felt our approach to production is quite simple.” Anyone who knows anything about this duo’s music can tell you that the end results sound far from primitive. The cheeky-grinned New Zealanders have filled dance floors and iPod playlists around the world with their unique take on drum & bass for nearly a decade, yet their music is sounding fresher than ever; as their impressive new album is about to prove.

‘Primitive Technique’ is an album that caters to many but compromises for no one, and with techniques that may be primitive The Upbeats have crafted an album that sounds undeniably modern.

The Upbeats - Diffused

Here we have what could pose as the monster track from the album.  "Tracer" is getting nothing but praise from pretty much every DJ it's been sent to and is clearly one of the most anticipated tracks from this outstanding album from Survival and Silent Witness.  Here they lock forces with Cern; a man who as well as Survival and Silent Witness has so much superb music to unleash this year we're finding it hard to believe!

This particular track from the album will be released on digital as part of the full album and vinyl on the 25th of February.

Huge support on this one so far from Calyx & Teebee, Friction, AI (on BBC 1xtra), Break, Amoss, Chris SU, Ant TC1, Octane, DLR, Skeptical and many more!

Drum and bass heavyweights Black Sun Empire announced the launch of their new label, BLACKOUT music nl. The first release on the imprint will be the highly anticipated EP by Optiv & BTK, “Bad Attitude,” which will be out on May 13.

The globally-respected drum and bass collective trio have been true innovators in electronic music for more than a decade. “We, Black Sun Empire, want to build a stronger brand for BLACKOUT by expanding the events we are already setting up around the world and combining it with our years of experience with running successful labels. We think it is important to let the two grow together, under one name, pushing the sound and artists we feel are sometimes undervalued. By joining forces with artists we believe in, and by giving our fans (who live all around the globe) a common platform to stay informed and keep in touch, we hope to build a home for all who, like us, have a strong love for this kind of drum and bass: energy-driven, hard, melodic and a little crazy,” explain label bosses Milan Heyboer, Micha Heyboer and Rene Verdult.

Over the last year, the duo known as Optiv & BTK have dominated the drum & bass scene with their unrelenting output of high-quality, strictly-for-the-dance-floor releases and worldwide DJ sets. Optiv (from the UK) and BTK (from Brazil) joined forces in their new hometown of Bern, Switzerland after meeting up at various drum and bass events in the area. Once inside the studio, the collaborative vibe and rapid results made it clear that consequences would never be the same. “Bad Attitude’ will be released worldwide on May 13.

Optiv & BTK - Target - Out Now on Blackout Music NL - BLCKTNL001

Cold War has been given the Optiv remix treatment, and together, they have come together on something with all the hallmarks of a classic. The urgent, colliding beats are matched with an undertow the likes of which we’ve not heard since classic Dillinja. The track *makes* you get up on the floor, leaving nothing behind and nothing to chance. You’ll be banging your head against a very hard wall in no time with this one.

The Groundbreaker EP is the future. Luckily for you, Zero Method is now.

Optiv & CZA - I Feel - C4C Recordings - OUT NOW!!

"LI" upcomming on Citrus:
http://www.myspace.com/citrusrec
http://www.triplevision.nl/label/Citrus+Recordings/

OPTIV is a name firmly embedded in both the forefront and deep memory of any true fan of drum & bass. He emerged into the scene with the seminal Cause4Concern sound, which made an enduring mark that influenced many of today’s great artists, including Noisia, and helped to mould the tech aesthetic that we –know today. The Optiv moniker erupted into existence a few years after the establishment of Cause4Concern, with the founding of his own label Red Light Records in 2002, an imprint that continues to be influential in both launching the careers of promising artists such as Inward, Hanzo & Randie, Impak as well as putting out high quality audio from established artists such as Tobax, Telekinesis, The Upbeats and Black Sun Empire. This is in addition to running the pioneering C4C Recordings imprint, that’s been committed to pushing forward-thinking tech for close to two decades now.
Over the course of Optiv’s prolific and long-running solo career, he’s released on a significant range of labels, including leading taste-makers such as Virus, Playaz, Blackout, Subtitles, Eatbrain, Hospital, Shogun Audio, Invisible and Dispatch to name just a few. His commitment to a pure analogue sound, inspired by his techno and electro roots, in combination with a stripped aesthetic that requires audio purity, has ensured that his sound remains both timeless and ahead of the pack. With years of experience behind him to apply to the dance, as well as his immaculate sense for freshness, Optiv is a tried and tested artist who continues to make a significant impact on the drum & bass sphere.
