The vibes just keep on flowing at the PROGRAM HQ…

Battering our way into the new year with a quartet of forward-thinking grooves, the label’s sixth release is chock-a-block with floor busters.

Nitri ignites proceedings with stealth-like prowess. Opening with a series of infectious clicks and whirrs, his engine purrs with a pensive funk that isn’t realised fully until the delicious vocal and bassline bounce kick in. The epitome of a contemporary roller, this stripped back groove attack has been a highlight of Andy C’s sets for the past few months, causing major commotions amongst both the raving crew and fellow DJs whenever he drops it.

Audio & Meth follow. And they do so with an almighty switch-flip. Hot on the heels of their monstrous ‘Gamma’ on Audio’s latest album ‘Soul Magnet’, the duo continue to strut their heavyweight co-lab stuff with ‘Alone’. Drenched in drama and grizzling bass tears, ‘Alone’ opens with a cavalcade of haunting horns before dropping into an all-out filth workout. Spitting snub-nosed sonics, it’s like the late 90s all over again… But with production skills our last-century D&B forefathers could only dream of.

Up next: Eastcolors who’s served up a track that’s in grave danger of literally living up to its title. ‘Murderer’ harbours a bassline so deadly it could bump your dancefloor to death with its endless mutations and manipulations. Sprung with a fine-tuned funk and arranged with dynamite dynamics, this is one murder case all dancefloor detectives want to solve.

It’s down to Paul B to bring this speaker-smashing set to a fitting conclusion. A dab-hand at this D&B game since the turn of the century, ‘Drop By Drop’ shows just why the Russian artist is widely regarded as ‘the producer’s producer’. A funky fusion of minimal and electro and classical reference points, it’s a roller that just keeps on giving on every listen. Simple but outrageously effective, it’s an exemplary lesson in how to make a nagging hook.
It’s time to get with the program!
