It’s been quite a year for our budding 22 year old Christian Hoffmann, AKA Toronto Is Broken. A debut LP Section Nine dropping at the start of the year and releases on Viper & Technique Recordings throughout the summer, you’d think that would be enough? Well it’s not, TiB’s not quite finished the year off just yet. Ladies & Gentlemen, introducing the first in a series on club focus singles from TiB: Way Down & Original.

Onto the music… Way Down, it’s certainly not something you’d expect to hear from TiB and it’s certainly a positive move into the dance floor banger arena. Hooky bleeps, marching beats and teeth shattering subs. This one’s got more funk than James Brown and more swagger than Jagger. Watch out for that second drop!

Original see’s TiB don his junglist cap for the vocal flex but the track is just outright Drum & Bass filth. The bassline on Original is all consuming and ready to destroy anything in it’s path.

Toronto Is Broken is ready for the clubs, are they?

Core members of the hand-picked elite force that make up the Technique Recordings roster, No Concept are known as much for their eclectic selection of influences as they are for sheer dance demolition.

And here's how they're setting their stall out for 2020.

First up is a trip down memory lane with 'Be the 1'. No Concept deliver pitch perfect old skool vibes in the intro with pitched-up vocals, breaks, stabs...all that 1991 goodness. But behind the throwback facade lies a militant smasher aimed straight at contemporary dancefloors. The savage bassline assault blended masterfully with the retro elements means this is going to find fans amongst selectors of all persuasions.

Then 'Remember' flips the script. No Concept take us through moods of anxious tension, soulful emotion, and hyped anticipation before we've even got to the drop. Moments of melody and harmony signal that this tune isn't going to do things by the book. The dark minimalism of the drop, made from rolling beats and modulating bass tones punctated with gorgeous floating vocal samples, is a call to arms that's guaranteed to resonate with ravers.

No Concept live up to their name once again with two tunes that defy neat categorisation. The constantly evolving style of these producers means that each one of their releases delivers something new every time. Better pay close attention.

No Concept - Be The 1

Having already released on Ram Records under his Fascad alias, through their Ram Rave series, their last annual compilation and through the sister-label Program as part of its seminal 100th release, he returns alongside Ignescent label owner Deen Pride but under a different pseudonym. ‘Focusfire’ was one of Fascad’s tracks which saw the producer gain international recognition and it's also the duo’s new artist title, which their brand new EP forthcoming on Program will fall under, whilst they maintain the dancefloor infected talent which caught the imprint’s attention.

The frenzied drum work throughout ‘New Order’ sets the levels for the EP whilst growling patches of bass maintains the momentum for ‘Cracked Up'. Sculpted grooves punctuate the mix of ‘Nonverbal’, meanwhile ‘Catacombs’ and ‘W.I.S.Y’ continue with the EP’s hectic intensity. With Focusfire now taking the wheel, it’s once again time to get with the Program - this time concentrating on its nastier sounds.

Throughout the year of 2020 Ram Records has endeavoured to bring you the very best, upfront drum & bass from their roster as well as the genre’s wider world. As a result, it’s made a challenging year that little bit easier. The legendary imprint will once more be dropping a colossal package of tracks, pinpointing the absolute best of its catalogue over the past twelve months and spearheading listeners' entry into 2021. With a total number of 60 records, as well as 18 brand new offerings, it's one of the biggest must-haves for Ram fans this forthcoming season.

Including well-loved favourites alongside a host of exclusives, from recognisable Ram names such as SyRan, Showdown, NC-17, Low:r, Focusfire, Dr. Apollo and more, with renowned acts such as Total Recall, Jam Thieves and The Arcturians also making an appearance, the fresh deliveries alone make a statement. It pulls together an incredible array of music, whether it's already released music from Culture Shock, ALB, DC Breaks, Upgrade, Chords, Simula, Skanktia or Mob Tactics. And it highlights that despite the odds, the sound of drum & bass will prevail - leading into another charged year for dance music.
