Lush, dark and densely textured, with a sick drum combo of Think breaks and grimy claps, 'Ascend' is just the latest find from Texas-based BRØKEN, who are shaking up the space between breakbeat and bass music with their fiercely UK-influenced sound. Raw, energetic rid dims combine with darkling atmospherics for a classy, brooding number with attitude. A.Motion is a name to watch.

ZANDER + TAYLOR | PULL IT BACK

Bushbaby unleashes on BRØKEN with "Mitsuko," a heavy-hitting banger that unites roaring bass with piercing arpeggiations and exotic vocals. The ferocious rhythms hit like a knockout punch and make you feel like you blacked out at a London warehouse and woke up in a Tokyo back alley. Oops.

Good news. New material in about 4 weeks. Yeah!

*edit 10th of January 2019
Guys, it's really nice to see how much you like the song. Some of you might already know, that of course i am working on new stuff and it's almost done. 
I feel like i know where all this is heading now and i'm definitely going to release multiple songs, if not more this year. It's one year after uploading the first song of this project and slowly everything comes together in a natural way. I also have a new studio space since a couple of months, which allows me to up the sound level a bit and i'm really keen to see your reaction on this upcoming songs. Thank you for the warm welcome you gave this project.

*edit 09th of May 2018
Thank you so much for all the love you are showing with your comments. It really means a lot to me that people are actually listening to this. I'm working on more songs, most of them come together way too slowly and i'm still figuring out where to go with this projects. I have a lot of ideas and it's hard to get them all out in a way that is relatable, so thanks for being patient. If you want to support this project, check out my Bandcamp or follow me on Spotify please.

Avum - The One (feat. Cecelia)

Two new infectious halftime gems by newcomer Cesco along with
UK born Cesco had his first major release this year on 1985 Music’s ‘Edition 2’ compilation - curated and run by Alix Perez. It immediately catapulted him into the spotlight and earned him the respect of tastemakers such as Ivy Lab, dBridge and Noisia to name a few. He now continues the journey with two new infectious halftime gems on Unchained Recordings. Whilst the tracks are solid enough as a standalone pair, the addition of a devastating remix by minimal badman, Arkaik helps to form an EP with a fresh 360 degree view of modern bass.

The title track 'Random Adjective,’ is a subtle yet infectious sonically evolving mantra – trappy percs, rich textures and hypnotic hooks all demand 100% head-nod compliance. 

Track 2, ‘Spiral’, then follows by threading eerie cinematic atmospherics with evolving rhythms to form a lush minimal dance-floor ‘groove monster'. It effortlessly steers from halftime beats through to bouncing breaks to 4/4, then back again. Tunes like these demonstrate just how much Drum & Bass has evolved in recent years.

Finally, Arkaik furnishes his own flip of ‘Random Adjective’ which, by all independent accounts, is a track more thrilling than Boris Johnson romping in a thong. It is a fine example of the current spearhead level of modern production - where dedication to technical perfection begins to elevate electronic music into a sacred art-form.

The Random Adjective EP was custom built for the bass aficionado, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

“Hey SWEETFACE… is he dead?” The words were harsh and guttural, delivered through a pair of vocal cords clearly roughened beyond their age. “Nah, he’s still breathin’ “ came the reply, emitted through a face that brought a sense of irony to it’s moniker. The gravelly voice spoke again, thumbing through a wallet in his hands with a set of thick, meaty fingers. “Boss said we don’t get paid if he’s dead. I want to get paid. I got, eh, what’s the word… vices? Yeah, vices. I got vices that need fulfillin’, ya know?” “Ah, you got vices? ‘Course you got vices you dunce, ain’t no one sound like you ‘less they got vices. Now, quit complainin’ and help me put this perp in the trunk.” 

The body landed with a dull thud on the metal interior of the trunk, and a small groan came forth from its nameless owner. Looking down into the trunk, SWEETFACE loaded a single round into his handgun’s magazine. “Cover your ears Pizzaface, I got vices too.” was the single command that followed. With nonchalant aplomb, SWEETFACE fired a blank mere inches from the captive’s head, awakening him with a start before slamming the trunk closed and plunging him into disoriented darkness. “You didn’t give me enough damn time, SWEETFACE!”, came the protest from his partner. Already walking towards the passenger side door of the vehicle, SWEETFACE flipped a set of keys over his shoulder at his bumbling partner. “Let’s go,” he said curtly, “and Pizzaface… make sure to shake the perp up a bit back there. Keep him scared. Hell, drive like you just had one of those “vices” of yours.”

FOURWARD return to EATBRAIN with SWEETFACE, their latest EP following their most recent single “Alien” on UKF and their previous EATBRAIN releases including Torn Place & the Wolfe EP. Marked by the groups characteristic sonic cohesion, SWEETFACE delivers a rapid barrage of four hard hitting tracks produced by FOURWARD’s masterful minds for the most recent assault of the EATBRAIN horde.

Fourward - Saboteur (Eatbrain095)

Rockwell returns to his Obsolete Medium imprint for its third release - “Isolation Ritual”. Featuring the distorted crescendos and dissonant echoes of the Alix Perez supported track ‘Vent’, and ‘Ditch’ - a pulsating and dub-siren heavy collaboration with the man of the moment, Workforce. 

“ ’Isolation Ritual’ was borne out of me examining the relationship between my writing practices and my life outside music. For years I would shut myself away from the world in my windowless studio, concentrating on making music. It became normal for me to spend long periods by myself, isolated from the world outside and my friends and family. Over many years I became increasingly withdrawn and detached and struggled for objectivity. Tasks that would normally take an hour were taking days, as I was constantly second-guessing myself. My output ground to a halt.  

Making changes to both my creative process and the relationship I have with my music has been massively beneficial to my productivity and also to my wider mental health. Music is starting to flow again naturally. It is a slow process to unlearn years of bad habits, but hopefully ‘Isolation Ritual’ is a step in the right direction.”

One of the most exhilarating talents to come out fo the drum and bass scene in recent times, Rockwell has been heralded by the likes of Billboard, FACT, RA, Mixmag, CRACK and DJ Mag. He has released on some of the biggest and most revered labels in the game - Metalheadz, Critical, Shogun Audio Neosignal and Darkestral - and collaborated with a range of artists including Roni Size, Flowdan, Sam Binga and Breakage.

A past alumnus of both Radio 1’s Residency and ‘In New DJ’s We Trust’’, his debut album ‘Obsolete Medium’ was released on Shogun Audio in 2015 to critical acclaim, with Billboard selecting it as one of their top 10 Electronic LP’s of the year. 

2020 sees Rockwell continue on his mission, undertaking further sonic explorations with his label OBSOLETE MEDIUM.

After setting his 2020 story in motion with the stunning ‘I Wonder’, Keeno brings his trademark mastery of classical inspired drum & bass with ‘Troopers Peak’ and ‘Old School Lane’ - his debut release since becoming an official artist on Hospital Records, following the closure of sister label Med School. With his impressive back catalogue of albums ‘Life Cycle’, ‘All The Shimmering Things’ and ‘Futurist’, Keeno continues to champion the more refined and elegant side to drum & bass. 

Opening with a stunning cinematic reprise, ‘Troopers Peak’ is a showcase of Keeno’s ability to fuse the worlds of classical music with drum & bass in this sublime piano driven number, that rounds off with beautiful string atmospherics. B-Side track ‘Old School Lane’ takes a darker path to the clean-edged A-Side, layered with grizzly synths and dramatic string work for a formidable stepper that’s in a class of its own.

Keeno carries the torch for emotive, orchestral drum & bass into the new decade with a dedicated following for his unique, distinctive productions and for hosting his own Bristol Mix Sessions podcast. He’s received support across the UK airwaves with plays across BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and 6Music plus Keeno’s technical prowess in the studio has seen extensive features in leading tech music publications Future Mag and Computer Mag. He also continues to set himself apart as a DJ with a worldwide demand across Europe and a mainstay presence at Hospitality shows including Hospitality Returns To The Dock for a special Med School Graduation B2B2B2B set with Etherwood, Whiney and Bop.

A single moment passed in silence before the view of silicone eyes, underneath which a mechanical being partook in an organic substance, taking a drag of her cigarette there within that soundless void. Though it did not produce the same biological reaction in her as it did in humans, the action possessed a certain juneau sais quoi, an attitude that she delighted in performing even at a moment like this. With her inhale, she briefly considered disabling her pain sensors. With her exhale, she clung to the humanity they brought her. Instead, she chose to fire her left tear duct, letting a single bead of moisture hang like fresh dew at the corner of her eye. Would they find her and reassemble her? She wondered at the thought, but hoped not. The city before her had been her world, and now before her it disappeared.

The shockwave tore through her body in an instant, traveling at a speed not slowed even by the durable alloys of which her skeleton was composed. She felt wire after wire detach, disconnecting the circuits that fed information to the high speed processor that served as her brain. There went her hair, her right leg, her ring finger and the ring it bore. In the instant that she was dismantled by the blast she pondered how the humans felt at this exact moment, or if their brains were too slow to process what was occurring to them. Her skull detached from her faceplate, and with the remaining voltage her brain experienced one final thought. “So this is what it feels like to die”.

EATBRAIN powerhouse MNDSCP debuts his latest work on the label with his SLICER EP, a name that portends well to the expertly honed sonics that lie within. Following his previous EP “Plot Hole” on the label, MNDSCP continues to augment the EATBRAIN horde with an array of sonic cybernetic enhancements, all powered by the mind of the machine behind SLICER.
