Kodin - Keep Up

Manta & Kaiza – Dymatize  [Red Light]

2003 was the year Red Light Records established itself. Since then, Optiv – one of Cause4Concern’s leading members – has drawn upon the vast array of producers who landed in his inbox to deliver crushing content for some of the biggest DJs in drum & bass. As a result, Optiv and the decade in which Red Light has been releasing music has ensured both newcomers and more established names are getting to the most imperative tastemakers. Their ‘Compound’ EP compilation series has seen Optiv provide a milestone in the careers of many burgeoning producers, which is why its second instalment will be another breakdown of the artists who both inspire Optiv, his sets and the music which makes up the core of Red Light Records ethos. 

The refined grooves of ‘Dymatize’ from Manta and Kaiza demonstrates how despite being known for their painstakingly honed, cut-throat records, Red Light Records’ output still appeals to the dancefloor. Similarly, Humanon and Victim join forces on ‘Liquid Glass’, diced up through its waif-like synthesis and clapping drum relays. Kodin’s ‘Keep Up’ takes you down a different route, with 90s-rave lead stabs and split vocal samples. The tinkering hi-hats and bass-heavy distortion of Xeomi and Kaiza’s ‘Lapse’ is just as destructive through its own means. Then the illusive introduction of Wresker and Kilobite’s ‘Fanatic’ pulls you into an almighty breakdown, one with rattling percussive snaps which push you directly through each set of flipping beats. Humanon returns again alongside Loop Stepwalker for ‘Octopus’, with every peaking set of notes helping to manufacture a hook that fully captures your attention. The track’s breakdowns are fast and furious, leading to this track becoming a sure-fire anthem in upcoming DJ sets. 

Art1fact, Kaiza and Tomtek follow suit with ‘Insidious’, just as heavy-hitting with its thumping sequences and warbling bass notes. All three artists take you deep into their murky skill sets, as ‘Insidious’ becomes more and more overbearing in its approach, with each switch smoothly driving into the next. Red Light Records deliver again for another astounding set of tracks – their individual musicality go on to build a perspective of the label and it’s the type of perspective which has enabled the imprint to stand proud for over ten years in the game.

Focusing heavily on its metallic drum brays and crunching, bass-heavy distortion, the type which drag you deep into each meticulously crafted layer. ‘Chaines’ is gyrating with edges that are so sharp they cut, channeling an impact that ricochets from beginning to end.

Chaines (forthcoming Red Light Records)

Then you’re drawn into ‘Preacher’, with an epic, finely crafted intro which catapults you into its first
breakdown in an explosive fashion. The growling subs which thump throughout every bar of sound drags
you into the murky depths of ‘Preacher’ and doesn’t allow you to come up for air. It’s another look into the
world of 2Whales, one which is heavily accentuated by their production standards and unforgiving sonics.
It’s also one highly sought after so it comes as little surprise that they’d be welcomed into the highly
esteemed roster of Red Light Records.

2Whales - Preacher (forthcoming Red Light Records)

Forthcoming Red Light Records on October 21st 2019.

Big up Optiv!

Xeomi & Kaiza - Doomgun (Forthcoming Red Light Records) CLIP

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.
