Project E - "Nightbeat (Split Secs Late Beat)" Merc

Italian DJ and producer Marco Dassi is releasing his debut full-length album, First, Quake Me on Hell Yeah Recordings in september 2013.

Having always experimented with a range of sounds and styles from hypnotic techno to melodic bass throughout his career, it is no surprise that this album marks another evolution for Dassi.

A world away from the minimal techno and tight tech loops of his early releases, it’s a more personal and intimate affair that is layered up with plenty of genuine musicality.

Far from a collection of banging bangers, First, Quake Me is a mature record that works on your head as much, if not more than, your heel.

Across the 13 tracks the album peaks and troughs through blissful soundscapes, dancefloor focused grooves and moody ambient pieces as well as some disco nuggets and deep electronic delights. As such it’s a real listening experience from start to finish; and album that takes you somewhere away from here as well as providing plenty of propulsive moments for the club.

Be A Light opens the album with a heavy kick drum and plenty of wiry, sinewy synth sounds that grow in stature and ease you into Dassi’s world. From there Les Petites Choses’ mines a laidback disco groove that is infused with plenty of musicality and frazzled hooks.

Elsewhere the likes of Fleeting Glances suspends you in outer space as sci fi sonics drift by, swells of intergalactic energy build up and dissipate and huge, thudding kicks propel you along. Swedish Love; will no doubt be a standout single for many with its purposeful disco swagger and shiny, reflective analogue textures.

Reloved proves Dassi does vocals as well as instrumentals as he infuses his melodically rich arrangements with muffled male motifs, whilst Acid Purple Weed is a deep house cum acid track that proves this Italian does infectious groove as well as cinematic ambiance.

Closing on the downbeat, depraved sounding technoid slump of Confabulous, First, Quake Me is an album of true invention and originality. It stiches together a wide array of influences into a hugely absorbing tapestry of textural delights.

One of Drum&BassArena’s hot picks for 2013, Stealth lives up to his name in every way… Quietly making big moves behind the scenes, grafting hard at his dark sonic art, earning his stripes, waiting for the right time to pounce on his prey… 

Well the time is now, and we are all his prey. Going in for the kill with his Program debut, the London-based artist has made his move with precision instinct, leaping on us with two rich, rampant rollers just when we least expect it. 

Inherently underground and immaculately timeless, both ‘Scrummage’ and ‘Nanite’ purr with intricate production prowess. Late night vibes for drum & bass connoisseurs, they carry the hallmarks longevity, offering something new on every listen. 

‘Scrummage’ leads. Opening with crisp, cold atmospheric subtleties, a waspish bassline zips its way into the mix by way of crafty LFO. Fluctuating with angular attitude, the bassline soon becomes the main melody, pinging us back and forth with gritty cheekiness. As we roll deeper into the mix, we’re introduced to haunted one-shot human elements and a wealth of sub bass that underpins the whole composition. Vicious without the shoutiness; like the genuine tough guys who never even have to raise their voice, ‘Scrummage’ is 100 per cent killer. 

The icy vibe continues on ‘Nanite’. Sharp, stark and steppy, this one’s home to yet more creamy sub bass and pensive, synapse-snapping kicks, conjuring up memories of the mid-to-late 90s when drum & bass was really finding its own identity. Boasting a truly menacing vocal sample, the track title might have connotations of a sweet night’s sleep but the overall message is clear: don’t have nightmares. 

Two killer workouts, one unmissable label debut. Once again, it’s time to get with the Program!

DISCLAIMER: this is not endorsed by Boiler Room TV

For our next release we turn to an emerging producer in the form of young Belgian Innershades. With but one previous release on Ukraine’s Wicked Bass label, little is known of the man other than the fact that he produces heavyweight techno with a purposeful and dubbed out menace. 

The first cut here, 'Nina At The Boiler Room' is a mid tempo stomper with grainy textures and musky ambiance run through with a wild acid line and classic pinging cowbells. It's potent and feverish and forever builds to a peak, at which point a searching horn sound surveys the desolate landscapes. 'No Stoppin' is more like dub house, shrouded as it is in plenty of echo, delay and rueful and romantic pads. 

Last cut 'The Future' is the most up beat and peak time of the lot. It's a bouncy, nimble bit of analogue house with sombre pads, busy melodies and a healthy scattering of percussion that brings plenty of kineticism to the mix. Three fine tracks that will surely have the world keeping an eye on Innershades from here on in.

They say all good things come to those who wait, and when that thing that you are actually waiting for is music of this quality we would certainly agree! 

That waiting however is nearly over and as the ever impending Jubei  “To Have and Have Not “ Album release date grows ever nearer and in anticipation for the full L.P we   are issuing this upfront sampler of the Album to showcase two (of the many) highlights from the LP and to offer a snapshot of the forthcoming content and quality.

Jubei takes things into 140 territory with “Visions” Ft. J Kenzo.

Tracks like this really emphasize how sublime music at 140 BPM can be with a beautifully crafted excursion in deep darkness with complexity formed through simplicity.

Chroma - Grindhouse / If You Only Knew 

‘Gindhouse’ succinctly shows why the boys are in such high demand; imagine zooming down a long tunnel carved deep into a mountain made purely of bass. Lights flickering past flashing in the corner of your eyes, one dedicated direction, no obstacles – just pure hyper-speed clarity. 

Nitro-boosted breakbeats, precision engineered bass droning with mass power, dipping and rising subtly raising every possible hair on your neck. Savage yet suave, ‘Gindhouse’ surges with every timeless rave nuance you can imagine. Trust us: this will sound just as heavy in 20 or 50 year’s time as it does now. 

‘If You Only Knew’ plays the perfect foil. Deeper and more soulful but just as powerful, it instantly engages with dreamy piano flurries and tight rolling percussion. A flicker of a yearning vocal follows before we’re suddenly enveloped by undiluted sub bass, humming with low-end luxury. 

And so we continue… The sub develops a confident growl while very subtle synth elements make themselves known on the fills and poignant, emotive pads ease their way into the blend. A quintessential roller, this promises to take your floor far, far away to places they didn’t know existed. 

Showcasing two wholly different sides to their repertoire, this is Chroma’s most accomplished release so far. It’s time, once again, to get with the Program.

HARD with STYLE: Episode 5

Nightmares In Reality EP

Nightmares In Reality

The first two singles taken from Calyx & TeeBee’s forthcoming album ‘All Or Nothing’ have been heavily supported by tastemakers across the board. Lining up to drop them are Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Annie Mac,  UK #1 artists DJ Fresh and Rudimental, Example’s touring partner DJ Wire and scene stalwarts TC and Matrix & Futurebound, to name but a few. And now the duo is ready to unleash the third single from ‘All Or Nothing’, an incredible slice of D&B funk featuring the vocal talents of Kemo.

Marrying influences from hip hop, funk and mid-‘90s drum & bass, Calyx & TeeBee offer up a distinctly different track that tugs on feelings of nostalgia while pushing the envelope forward. ‘Pure Gold’ is effortlessly fresh, oozing with bouncing hip hop, double bass funk and D&B energy this track will undoubtedly sound great from the car to the club, across radio waves and dance floors alike.

Wilkinson steps up for the first remix of the package, keeping the orchestral provenance suggested by the intro of the original and rolling it out into a booming, winding bass monster. This is drumstep at its finest, resisting the urge to throw in a million random bleeps, Wilkinson instead infuses ‘Pure Gold’ with his own unique style and creates an absolute killer of a remix in the process.

Next up Hostage takes ‘Pure Gold’ into serious bouncing house territory. As the punchy drums are punctuated by that infamous horn sample you’re pulled slowly and gently in. Before long Hostage places precision cuts of Kemo’s vocal and the infectious bass loop into the mix along with some carnival snares that ensure this is one of the most infectious 4/4 tracks you’re likely to hear all year.

Rounding the digital package off Calyx & TeeBee offer up their own track ‘Perspectives’, a sure-fire slice of D&B that’s sure to keep the heads happy. Relentless bass and expertly chosen sound FX all combine with rolling percussion and stunning production to create a perfect dance floor roller.

Insidious: Proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects. 
So the dictionary tells us, but if the word insidious bears any relation to Rene LaVice’s rise to drum & bass prominence it’s that it is the exact opposite. Smashing his way to the top of the game within a year with nothing but a hugely positive effect, Rene LaVice is poised to unleash his debut album following just a handful of releases.

It would be foolish to think that Rene LaVice and his music weren’t ready for such a bold step, though. Last year saw his tunes find a home on the playlists of tastemakers such as Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw and MistaJam, become highlights in the sets of Ram boss Andy C amongst many of his D&B peers, top the sales charts amidst fierce competition from all manner of bass music and storm into Mixmag’s top 50 tracks of the year.

How exactly, you may ask, has a relatively new artist from Canada managed to achieve all of this in 2012? Your first listen to his debut album ‘Insidious’ will undoubtedly answer that.

From the opening bars of ‘So Inspired To Fail’ to the closing notes of ‘Absolute Monster’ this LP is really a lesson in creating beautifully crafted drum & bass. ‘Perfect World’ and ‘This Is Conflict’ are prime examples of Rene’s ability to put together tracks that will undoubtedly smash dancefloors.

Throughout ‘Insidious’ has nothing but breezy production and genuine soul to offer the listener. ‘The Way You Love Me’ draws you in with subtle vocal hooks and chest-warming Reeses, ‘Rude Selection’ sees Rene drop the tempo and team up with Trinity Chris for a crunching, grinding slice of hip hop heavy bass music, while the album’s title track is a dizzying blend of sultry vocals and Prototype Years style drum & bass. 
Drawing together classic sounds and giving them a fresh lease of life is Rene LaVice’s mainstay, crafting drum & bass that manages to feel nostalgic, infused with timeless, classic intent, but always up to date with fresh production values. Rene LaVice is a producer who wears his influences on his musical sleeve and always brings them together in a new and exciting way, and his debut album is a testament to that incredible talent.

MIND VORTEX 
- Alive / Arc

Mind Vortex are back! And they’re back with a vengeance… This duo have pulled it out the bag again and are ready to dent 2013.

Their new release ‘Alive/Arc’ is a game of two wholly different sides. Mind Vortex showcase their enviable range of skills: perfectly executed song-based composition AND outrageously huge, speaker splintering bass bombs.

‘Alive’ is up first. Striking up with a star-glazed synth and string hook that rises exponentially, we’re soon dropped into crisp guitar hooks and smooth vocals. As the synths and heated kicks re-join the mix, it’s instant anthem time with plenty of opportunities to raise a lighter or two. As the vibrant hook gets heavier and the song develops, we find the bass becoming more textured, bursting with dynamics and true sense of sonic sentiment.

Next up, ‘Arc’: A quintessential rave hustler, it opens with rich warm rush-worthy chords softly coerced you into a false sense of arm waving euphoria. This tune has such a beautiful emotion-caked intro and then BANG!: in they come with one of the most powerful pay-offs we’ve heard for ages. A murder of basslines vie for your attention; ducking and diving and weaving and bobbing among each other, each one as brutish as the next. From spine-melting electro-soul to turbo-charged bass shock-out at the flip of a switch, it’s production techniques like this that attracted Mind Vortex to us in the first place.

This release has two stunningly different vibes from one of the most exciting partnerships in drum & bass… With support from the likes of Andy C, Mistajam, Grooverider, Bailey, Crissy Criss, DJ Hype and Drumsound, the doors to the Mind Vortex fan club are well and truly open.

META009 Signals the long overdue return of A.I to Metalheadz with the release of “Dillirious” & “What You Had” featuring Steo on Vocals. 

“What You Had” Featuring Steo switches up the focus from darker mood to melody with the reverbed vox of Steo injecting a healthy measure of emotional narrative to AI’s backdrop of inter winding swells of pads and bass. 

Artificial Intelligence were the first to bring Steo’s hypnotic tones to Drum and Bass wax and its easy to hear why as “What You Had” confidently delivers hits the sweet spot of modern D&B genius.

Yet again Metalheadz deliver another outstanding outing of sheer Drum and Bass brilliance adding yet another definitive release to their unrivalled catalogue of Drum and Bass future history.

Straight off the back of Ulterior Motive’s recent exclusive signing to Metalheadz, the production powerhouse return with the release of META010 a stand out double A side 1 that features the devastatingly immense “Lost Contact,” backed in perfect contrast with the track “Forgiven” featuring Peta Oneir on vocals.

In combination the two tracks provide the perfect taster for their widely anticipated album on Metalheadz and with output like this it’s certainly easy to see why we wanted Ulterior Motive all to ourselves!

“Lost Contact” features those signature Ulterior Motive drums stepping faultlessly through a sci-fi tinged soundscape of pads, hugely infectious lead, finished off with a perfect heavy dose of low weight to deliver yet another future classic from the duo.

Backing up “Lost Contact” the AA side “Forgiven” hits that perfect point of light and dark contrast with Peta Oneir’s vocal elegance shimmering above a violent backdrop of distorted Reece to provide just as it should, music not just for the ears but music that penetrates the mind and soul, accomplished music for those that truly understand and appreciate the art.

Both sides are almost guaranteed to destroy any dance floor and definitely the kind of track to stand out head and shoulders above the rest the day after the night before.

“Lost Contact” aired exclusively by Friction on his Radio 1 show in the coveted “Fire Track” slot, testament to sheer quality of the track itself and an accolade held only for the absolute highest tier Drum and Bass releases, releases like this continue and confirm the very ethos that has made Metalheadz exactly what it is today, a label and home for the pinnacle standard in Drum and Bass Music.
