Basher - Trojan / Basher & FRANKEE﻿ - Weep  - out now - http://po.st/TrojanWeepiTunes

Few producers understand the dark art of drum & bass as intimately or knowledgably as Basher. A consummate contributor to the RAM legacy for over seven years, he’s executed countless precision appearances across the label’s extended network. And right now he’s about to make his debut on the ever-consistent, next-level focussed Program imprint.

‘Trojan’ says it all. Even the title comes with heavyweight, dangerous connotations. Igniting with icy charm, Basher hurls us headfirst into an ocean of guttural bass and rolling concrete beats. Two low-end leads tightly twist and weave to create an enveloping sense of drama; savage distorted notes hammer his menacing message home while a creamy sub slopes and slithers beneath, tying up the elements to create the ultimate impact. Like the virus, ‘Trojan’ is instantly infectious; reprogramming your very understanding of groove mechanics.

Next up, ‘Weep’. Collaborating with Frankee, ‘Weep’ is a soundclash of significant proportions. Long-term friends, Basher played a hugely influential role in Frankee’s career, inspiring him to explore the studio in the first place. From the second you press play it’s clear the two complement each other perfectly; measured, moody and mesmerising, ‘Weep’ creatively uses tightly clipped vocal shots as percussive and melodic devices that build dynamically before the waves of bass and pneumatic beats sweep you off your feet. Brutal yet bouncy, furious yet funky, ‘Weep’ is a matchless example of contemporary D&B production.

Two demonstrative damagers for the dark months ahead, Basher’s back on the attack and there’s no hiding from him. It’s time, once again, to get with the Program. Enjoy.

RAMM154 - June Miller - Empathy / Operation Ivy - out Sunday 12th - pre-order http://po.st/JMEmpathyOpIvyiT

Few acts showcase drum & bass’s exciting creative scope with the same skillish vibrancy as June Miller. 

Since signing to Ram Records a year ago, the Dutch/Anglo duo have locked themselves away in their Utrecht HQ working on a series of mindblowing creations. Deep in sonic solitude, they’ve pushed themselves to whole new levels… As proved by the stunning ‘Empathy’ and ‘Operation Ivy’. Both pivotal tracks on Andy C’s explosively extensive ‘Nightlife 6’ opus, these cuts represent June Miller’s chiselled production skills like never before. 

We kick off with ‘Empathy’. Igniting with a surging sense of soul, the unity of timeless synths and spellbinding vocals set a smouldering scene that’s suddenly shattered into gnarled fragments when the drop lands. An overwhelming bass riff scuffs across the blistering breakbeats to create a thunderous groove. Instant riot material, this has been tried and tested by Andy C since the summer, each airing causing unparalleled commotion in its wake. 

‘Operation Ivy’ complements the carnage perfectly. A jittering, snake-like roller with deep funk coded into every element, everything about this pristine precision piece is designed to get the floor wriggling. From the crisp digi slap bass to the strident, spacious drum dynamics and textured rhythmic stabs, this is an impeccable example of how measured and meticulous drum & bass production standards are when they’re in the right hands. 

Two outstanding cuts from one of the scene’s most forward-thinking, accomplished acts, two representations of how far-reaching and creative drum & bass can be: June Miller have an incredible year ahead of them. And it starts right here.

Bouncing back onto Dispatch with the first of two new EPs, DBR UK arrive with four tracks that make up their “Say What You Want EP”, alongside vocal support from Amanda Seal as well as Structured on the production front.  

Opening with “Paranoia”, its serious roller business from the Luton based trio; an essential head swinger for the arsenal. Dark, raucous beats form the core of the EP, as the sirens of rap tinged “Kick’n Ya Door” echo over the murky, twisted low ends in a raw encounter. 

Offering an escape from the darkness, title track “Say What You Want” takes a more retrospective stance, with the vocals of Amanda Seal softly balancing throughout the track and holding all the elements together effortlessly. Skipping to the last track, the vocals harmonise with lighter pads, only to set the calm scene before “The Storm”. Structured features on the final track to close off the EP in explosive DBR fashion.

PreOrder Document One 
Faced With The Unkown / Purp Feat Fio
smarturl.it/TECH113
Release Date: 14th Dec

It hasn't been long since Document One carved their name into the pantheon of drum and bass heavy-hitters with their debut EP on Technique. Already, tracks from “Revolution” have been chalking up serious airtime and rave-play and ensuring that this production team's new release bears the weight of intense anticipation. So what have they got for us this time?

“Faced With the Unknown” takes us straight into darkness. Background atmospherics create a bed for regally cinematic arpeggios and some apocalyptic narration. This fades into distant reverberation only to reassemble as a cybernetic paranoic beat and bassline. This drop adds an extra layer of close-up claustrophobia which gives every drum hit, bass squelch and triggered sample the space and weight to really strike hard. This is four-in-the-morning music for for when daylight is just a memory and it's time to cast a shadow over the rave.

“Purp” is something different. The intro is fully-formed UK hip-hop, socially-conscious bars from Fio and all. But before we have time to strap on our backpacks, there's just a hint of double-time percussion on the horizon, and we're launched into a filthy drop, with grinding mid-range basses and an insistent resonant snare that turns the heat up to eleven. The juxtaposition of funky hip-hop and grimy D&B give this track an irresistible Bristol Sound vibe, showing Document One's respect for the roots while maintaining a totally modern dancefloor sensibility.

It's only Document One's second release on Technique but with their already-prestigious discography and the acclaim for their “Revolution” EP, it's clear this release is going to get serious attention. Showcasing both darkness and light with their trademark musicality, these two tracks are bound for set lists everywhere.

Levela - Impulse [OUT NOW]

Ahead of the upcoming Critical Sound Room Two takeover on 3rd April, we've been commissioned to stream another taste of yet another Critical exclusive. If you click the soundcloud player below you can hear a whole heap of what the Ivy Lab trio did when they went into the studio to remix Mefjus' 'Blame You.' The track forms part of the cunningly named Mef:Lab EP which will be released exclusively on vinyl and digital this Friday (27th March) through the Critical store and Beatport. The other track on the 12" is yep, you guessed it, Mefjus remixing Ivy Lab and their track 'Sunday Crunk' making a packaged out of a duo of cuts that have reportedly been shelling down the Critical raves since their creation.

Mefjus - Blame You Ft. Zoe Klinck (Ivy Lab Remix)

Keeping things traditional on this one with Ragga voxs and stabs this dancefloor gem features smooth jump up beats and a seriously heavy sounding bassline that will have the party people banging their 'Headz' all night!  


PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  HEADZ UP

Xtrah introduces us with some pristine brass elements and yet more crispy clean percussion. What is perceived to be his 'sound' is nicely gelled together with some bouncy rhythmical drum patterns.  The sub is introduced early to the listener this time round but make no mistake as on the drop expect the low end frequencies of the sub to swiftly move and modulate with what can only be described as a hurricane of gritty synth sequences and one shot edits.  A disturbing, though some what subliminal vocal stating some of humanities darker traits rounds this track off.

PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  ONLY TRUTH

Once tuned into the self entitled track 'Proximity' brace yourself for a truly chilling journey into sound.  With its dynamical content and flow, along with crisp and clear percussion, thumping drums, haunting minimal vibe and warm moving sub, this track will surly get you in the mood for what's to come.  


PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  PROXIMITY

Xtrah takes us through a mystical sequence of atmospherical pads and voxs to build this track up to what later mutates into a swirl of twisted bass accompanied with tight breaks and all round darkness.  



PROX001  -  XTRAH  -  THRESHOLD

Simplicity seems to be the trick here until hard hitting beats and crashing rides progress this track into an onslaught of crunched up leads topped off a warm, thick sounding sub.  An array of programmed keys are decently made use out of for the hook which will without doubt set you off on a quest throughout the dancefloor continuum.  The overall vibe of 'Bodyparts' will inevitably give you the sense and feeling that someone out there could really be after your insides!  Watch out, it could be the person dancing next to you!
