Keeping with the trend of 2016, we have another new artist with us at Proximity, with an EP that is set to cause huge waves in the scene. Alpha Q lets us in, exclusively, to his world, with Abort Code. It is an EP filled with ingenuity, originality and unique sounds. A top EP!

Euphoria is the byword as Abort Code opens up with its title track. There is a sense of gentle floating which soon gives way to realness, deep throbs and riddim vocal sample leading to choppy business of the best kind. As the track gets increasingly hectic the euphoric synths can be heard trying to resist, eventually winning over as it all subsides. 

The second coming of course turns out to be even harder than the first. A stylish opening to a stylish EP. As you move through to Displaced the energy really starts to pick up, as we’re hit with a flurry of kick drums. The track favours the traditional hard D&B style, it is a track that truly delivers. There is no way that this tune would not get people moving, a self-declaring banger. This is a rolly number that hits hard. 

When you reach The Realness you’re well past the halfway mark as the 3rd track on the EP opens with sounds that reverberate inside the skull in such a way that you feel lost in your own head. The drum beat itself is forward-thinking and strays from the traditional amen style driving the entirety of the track.

Our final outing with Alpha Q, Long Pig,  will drop you directly into in the deep end. This is what unchartered territory feels like, again a pioneering sound which revels in its uniqueness.

Utopia Music label boss Mako is gracing Warm Communications again. He always brings something special to his releases when appearing on warm & this is no exception. "For Love Or Money" features long time friend to Mako "Section 63" who also part of dnb outfit The Sect. Uplifting intro alongside a female vocal build up the a-side to a heavy drop into rough breaks and punishing bass. Just how we like it! On the flip the aptly titled "The Shot Off" is a 2 step chugger perfect to set any dancefloor off while "How Do You Feel?" has that mysterious vibe Mako can pull off so well! Another diverse & refreshing release from one of the scene's tastemakers.

Yes, we’ve caught the Blade bug that’s been going around lately! The “Moments and Memories EP” features the latest offerings from Blade, as well as a Random Movement Remix to round it all out. The release starts out with “Universal Rhythm,” an ethereal, heady roller with a new take on a classic style, followed by “What Do You Want,” a solid, deep runner with moving breaks, bass, and heart-stirring dialogue. The title track hits the more moody side of things with crazy-panning melodies, grimy breaks and a big bottom end to drive it along. Random Movement puts his shine on “Moments and Memories” with a melodic, edgy remix. A solid collection of music, worthy of being the first EP to drop on Flight Pattern, with many more to come!

Paul SG returns to Soul Deep with this new 3 track stunner.  The EP starts off strong with a classic amen roller called, "Xamplo".  The song is a classic from the golden Good Looking Records collection, but never got released.  It features jazzy riffs, a bouncing bassline, and an undeniable Amen Break.  The second track is a real stunner called, "Nothing Leads Nowhere".  The song is a new production from Paul and features a hi passed amen drum loop, laid back samples and a summer feeling groove that immediately puts the sunshine back into your life.  The third track, "Unusually Agitated", rounds out the EP in fine style.  The song features a heavy amen drum loop, chiming keys, and echoing efx that make this a dreamy masterpiece.

Title – Future Time EP

B.	Tom Small – Falling Walls
C.	Tom Small – Future Time
D.	Tom Small - Detailed

RELEASE DATE: 16/05/16
Nearing on two years since his last outing with Proximity, Tom Small returns, bringing with him only fire. Known for his hard rollers, Tom Small shows us what he knows best offering some of the finest in Drum & Bass. With support from some of the most respected producers and selectors in the game: Amoss, Bredren, RoyGreen & Protone, Rido, and Fre4knc to name a few on an increasingly growing list.
Black Angel starts us off in style; a nice little shadowy roller that’s sure to get a killer reaction. This is one for any arsenal with excellent manipulation of low end and truly cross spectrum sound. Track number two moves us into the eerie, further into the recesses of sound. Again keeping up the pace, with Falling Walls Tom Small harmonises thick hard hitting bass with wobble in a completely unique way. The power dynamic between the two is a joy to listen to, each one battling out for dominance of the track. 
Raucous toms lead the sound in Future Time, in addition to unimaginable mid range noises, all before we reach the drop. The title track has certainly earned its spot and doesn’t fail to deliver the epitome of energy. The highlight however is as the tune lets up in the middle and teases that rumbling bass stripped back of all but a few futuristic squelches before serving up its hard sound once more.
Detailed ends the EP in style, bringing with it all you would expect. With an experimental drum pattern that still hits all the right groove chords, all you can do is rock out. A fitting end to an outstanding display; this one’s a keeper.

Title – Dwell Point
A.	Tephra & Arkoze, Mystic State – Dwell Point

RELEASE DATE: 06/06/16
Hitting full speed Proximity has the power to unveil a true unholy alliance, together raising the bar of the scene through pushing their own sounds to their limit. The track in question is Dwell Point, showcasing how versatile the team of Tephra & Arkoze and Mystic State are as they mould a ground-breaking style of Drum & Bass.
Moving on to the tune itself, beautiful pads and a haze of feedback create a cloak of ambience over the opening sections, which really do mask its true direction. This destination becomes much clearer, followed by vivid, punchy kicks. Where Dwell Point really makes its mark is through both duo’s manipulation of low end, of which we get a sneak peak in its build up; the drop itself being unbelievably original and nuanced. This is a true forward-thinking track, highlighting the progressive steps everyone at Proximity is taking in 2016.
