Red Light - Forthcoming / Released Tracks

Drum & BASs 13

Released / Forthcoming Tracks

dnb 4.0

From humble origins in the world of online radio, Zero Method has risen up and taken a firm hold on the drum & bass universe. After releases on DSC14, Habit, Trust In Music and more, as well as his massive number one remix of Mindscape & Ryme Tyme’s track Sickness for Citrus. His music has garnered support from Ed Rush, Teebee, Chris.su and others, and now Zero is ready for Deep Fields – his new album on Optiv’s amazing Red Light label.

Taking influence from the likes of Bad Company, Kemal and C4C, he has developed his own sound based around a pure d&b ethos, keeping things clean and simple in the mix, and appealing to crowds and followers all around the world. He first hooked up with Red Light Recordings back in 2011, and after two EPs on the label, started work on Deep Fields back in 2013.

Setting the tone right from the deep, ominous intro, the album captures the imagination, artistry and delivery of Zero Method. Spotcrime is a fast-paced glimpse into the future, with ZM building in levels of drums, percussion and freaky, creepy samples, before Analog drops things down, with driving, pulsating sounds over a bed of mashed up beats and heavyweight basslines.

Fake Device develops the themes and ideas of Deep Fields further and in more depth, as a live-sounding drum set erupts into an almighty drop, resulting in a track of maddening genius. Feel the funk of the Fake Device. Zero Method then teams up with L33 to explore some lower Frequencies, the two producers swapping ideas around, and coming up with a monster of a tune, tough, ready and resolute.

Feel the fear and paranoia of Out Of Control, as marching beats take over your system and smart, snappy electronics take the lead. Hardware is another smasher, going all out in a militaristic display of hard drum & bass music, and Around Us will leave an impression on your brain and your soul with its insistent, insect-like creeping effects and samples.

Label boss Optiv guests on Bitter Pill. Rushy, crushing and totally addictive, you’ll become a slave to this particular substance. With just a dose of the old skool, this is still as futuristic as they come. Zero rides the Knobs to close things out, before the Outro takes you from this world into the next.

Deep Fields is guaranteed to further enhance Zero Method’s worldwide reputation. Enhance your life, and get your copy now.

Featured on the second sampler for Lenzman's début LP 'Looking At The Stars'... label mate and real life mate Jubei puts his firm stamp on Lenzman’s 'Empty Promise', The original was a big track for Lenzman and Jubei has taken it by the scruff of the neck and created something all his own whilst keeping the beauty/ beast vibe of the original. 

Empty Promise Feat. Steo (Jubei Remix)

Lenzman launches his debut album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on the seminal London-based imprint Metalheadz.

The debut album ‘Looking At The Stars’ arrives with all the aplomb you would expect from the Dutch producer. He has taken time over this project and the results reflect this. The long player solidifies the Lenzman sound you have come to love and edges it forward into new realms of production and style.

In lenzmans own words: “Dan Stezo has been my homeboy since day dot” and the pairing between the two is cemented by a shared love for hip hop that is very evident on this track, Stezo’s distinctive low slung vocal adds huge character to Lenzman’s production on the track.

Move & Focus feat. Dan Stezo

Stealth
A: Homage (Back To You) feat. Stylus AA: Smash It  - OUT NOW

iTunes : http://po.st/PRGRAM019iT
RAM Shop : http://po.st/PRGRAM019RAM
Beatport : http://po.st/PRGRAM019BP
Trackitdown : http://po.st/PRGRAM019TID

Staying true to his name, Stealth has craftily taken centre stage. Every record he's released oozing with sophistication has repeatedly stolen the spotlight. And this next one is no exception.
The production connoisseur yet again goes for the aural jugular, using ProgRAM as a launch pad. Stealth demonstrates the imprint's forward thinking movements and command of a genre which often goes unmatched. The relationship has been harmonious; alongside ProgRAM, he's already made a crater sized impact within the dnb community... And it's not difficult to see why.

'Homage' leads in a tightly fashioned intensity. Dark, brooding and with plucky percussion, it's a tribute to the sound Dillinja mastered. An instantly recognisable vocal sample is filtered through the record's menace, meandering perfectly between the bassline's thumps which eventually drop us into LFO-lead chaos. Piece by piece the main melody begins to build, throbbing until it completely over-takes the record's more humanistic elements. Audibly stocky, yet with a dimension that rings true of Stealth's icy production, it's a relentless roller with a nasty bite.

Next up, 'Smash It' still holds onto the merciless setting of its predecessor, but also offers something completely different. With a bristling rhythm that steps its way into a haunting crescendo, Stealth uses this break to highlight the track's imposing detail; it trickles, floods and then the dam breaks due to the build up's audible weight. Progressing deeper into the mix, the track is underpinned by quaking sub bass. An insistent kick and snap of drums merges against steeply elevating note loops, laying out Stealth's finely combed conundrum of complex yet hard hitting composition. Both 'Homage' and 'Smash It' receive the innovative-stamp of approval, playing on more contemporary elements but also delving deep into the 90s, promising both tracks remain timeless.

Stealth is pushing his influence into every corner, with his late night vibes commanding even the hardest of crowds. So, yet again, it's time to get with the ProgRAM, and succumb to one of the scene's biggest contenders.

Bytecode - Flux (Original Mix) - Red Light Records [RLDIG047]

Bytecode - Disruption (Original Mix) - Red Light Records [RLDIG047]

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.
Beatport exclusive: 22/04/2019
Full release: 06/05/2019

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.

Beginning your introduction to the new Optiv & CZA album is ‘Gemini’, which dissects the sound the duo is renowned for. With gliding percussive patches giving the track a more musical feel throughout its intro, you’re still dropped into deep, rhythmic bass pads which have become a tell-tale sign of the pair’s production.

‘Invisible Things’ and it switches things up a notch, with clattering drum rolls slicing through the mix as you’re taken into each catastrophic breakdown. There’s a groove which sits between each sequence of beats and it shows the background which C4C have adhered to, never watering down their production standard for the sake of the track’s heaviness. It’s your first insight into the forthcoming ‘What Lies Ahead’ album from C4C and it’s one which will certainly whet fans’ appetites for its release.

Cause4Concern (Optiv & CZA) // More Complex // The Korsakov Compilation Vol.2 // OUT NOW!

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.
