What a year it’s been for Loadstar. Exceeding every possible expectation with their debut album ‘Future Perfect’ in May 2013, the duo won critical props and appreciation from every possible corner: from The Guardian to Mixmag, Hype to High Contrast, MTV to Radio 1… Love for Loadstar has been overwhelming. 

Naturally the love goes both ways. Here the Bristol duo provide an early Christmas reboot bundle, bringing 2013 to a fittingly heavy climax. Six remixes in total (two digital exclusives from a heavily subscribed RAM remix competition) the package features D&B reversion’s from some of the label’s most talented artists. 

First up is a remix from Loadstar themselves. Flipping the switch on their electro-bass burn-up ‘Losing You’, they ante up with pummelling drum dynamics and a bassline that screams bona fide murderation. True subversive heavyweightism. 

Up next, ‘Need You’. It began as a turbo-charged techno monster. Now, under the careful spell of Frankee, it’s a rush-coated, star-gazing roller built on a solid bed of bass textures. Twinkling and terrorising in equal measure, Frankee once again shows why he’s been rated as one of drum & bass’s brightest prospects. 

Those hungry for jugular-focused damage should jump on DC Breaks’ take on ‘Give It To Me’. Riddled with insane levels of energy and attitude, this is strictly peaktime business right here, confirming the duo’s current do-no-wrong status. 

Rene LaVice is also on chop-slapping form with his incendiary rub. Processing the demonic dubsteppy intentions of the original into a rocket-powered stepper, it has the sound (and impact) of someone setting fire to entire firework factory and running off at full speed. Genuine audio damage. 

Finally we have two digital exclusives. Swotting off the competition from hundreds of fellow hopefuls, both Ality and Abstr4ct are more than well-deserved winners. Ality adds oceanic sheet metal textures to the bass that’s neatly countered by tight weaves of dreamy synths while Abstr4ct takes the original’s distinctive paranoid riff and galvanises it with an iced out, steppy riddim and an array of system-blowing glitches. It’s so heavy Andy C included it on his recent ‘Nightlife 6’ mix. 

Six remixes, six reminders of Loadstar’s raw power. The perfect way to end a future perfect year…

A: Where My Ladies At 

OUT NOW - http://po.st/ReneLaviceWMLAiT

Level up: just when you thought Rene LaVice's productions couldn't get any sharper or stronger, along come another two powerful, distinctive creations.  

Canada's most accomplished drum & bass ambassador, Rene LaVice has some big plans for 2014... And they start right here. Showcased by Andy C on his mind-blowingly massive 'Nightlife 6' opus, both 'Where My Ladies At' and 'I Want More' slam, sizzle and surge with contemporary production muscle. Let's press play...

'Where My Ladies At' achieved cult status when Andy used it to slap Zane Lowe into submission during a live battle on Radio 1. The savage bass tears, stark iced-out hook and crazed funk flurries on the fills caused instant online riots from the fans. When you hear it, you'll instantly understand why. Complete with a mischievous vocal sample and explosive dynamics, it's LaVice at his most deadly and direct. 

With more unique firing fusions locked and loaded for the near future, LaVice is set to have an incredible 2014. Stay tuned for more heavyweight material very soon.

Rene LaVice - Daily Dose Mix - Mistajam BBC Radio 1Xtra March 3 2014

was invited to drop by Bailey's "Intabeats" show on Ministry Of Sound Radio this week for an interview and a quick guestmix!

I've been a huge fan of Bailey's show for years so it was great fun catching up and talking about some new stuff that's going on. We ended up doing a little Impromptu Back 2 Back set at "The Basement" the next night in London, UK. It was a blast!

Hurtling towards the release of their sophomore album ‘All Or Nothing’, Calyx & TeeBee display their versatility on this, their new single. Having proven their worth with a decade and a half of success, the duo take their unique sound and apply it to two haunting tracks that are sure to get fans of expertly crafted D&B excited for the forthcoming long player.

Leading the way is ‘Elevate This Sound’ a beautifully constructed piece of music that underpins a fully structured song complete with one of the finest vocals to ever grace a drum & bass record. Skipping beats are underpinned with layers of Rhodes organs, subtly effected emotions and a moving bassline which ensures this track will be as at home on dance floors worldwide as it is on your mp3 player.

Flip over and Calyx & TeeBee offer up a track that bears their signature hallmarks infused with a fresh feel. ‘Hurting’ is packed with the kinds of twists, turns and downright gut-wrenching basslines you’ve come to expect from this duo. Stepping drums and grinding bass notes are interspersed with haunting vocal snippets and plenty of the signature sound that will keep the drum & bass elite happy.

DUKE DUMONT - FOR CLUB PLAY ONLY VOL. 2

Stream/Download

Turbo Recordings presents the second in a series of club-vanquishing EPs from @dukedumont.

Following the rapturous reception of his first club-centric EP for Turbo, as well as remixes for Santigold and the forthcoming AlunaGeorge single, UK superproducer Duke Dumont returns to tighten his stranglehold on the worldwide nightgeist with FOR CLUB PLAY ONLY VOL. 2, this time training his sights on the Vocal Anthem heavyweight title.

A-side "No Money Blues" brings UK bass and deep house into the realm of crossover pop, while "The Giver" is an ecstatic vocal house anthem that would fit seamlessly alongside the most uplifting MURK classics. These are probably the two most "feel-good" tracks we will put out all year, but the impeccable level of quality actually lets you "feel good" about "feeling good."

This EP positions Dumont as the versatile international hitmaker we know him to be, establishing a globe-spanning Dukedom to unite us all.

‘All Or Nothing’ is the long-awaited follow up to Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’ set to be released on one of the bass music scene’s longest running and most highly respected labels, Ram Records. The duo’s first single from their new album has already been supported by Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and many more of the world’s leading tastemakers, and ‘All Or Nothing’ looks set to catapult this incredible production partnership to all new heights. 

Calyx & TeeBee’s debut album ‘Anatomy’, released in 2007 on their own label was an instant game changer; cited as a landmark album for the scene ‘Anatomy’ saw the duo unleash an almighty wall of sound that rocked dance floors across the globe as they took to the road with their 6 deck DJ sets, smashing apart sound systems in nightclubs and festival tents alike.  

Now, five years later, hordes of fans are aching for a new Calyx & TeeBee album and the duo are definitely not going to disappoint. Signing to Ram Records, Calyx & TeeBee have produced a long player that sounds fresh, current and forward-thinking. ‘All Or Nothing’ is their sophomore offering and is packed with new ideas, exciting collaborations, stunning musicality and an incredible level of technical skill. 

From the epic opening gambit, ‘Heroes & Villains’, it’s clear that Calyx & TeeBee have created something special with their new album. The D&B jazz fusion of ‘Pure Gold’ ft. Kemo contrasts beautifully with the vocal-led minimalism of ‘Strung Out’ and the hip hop excellence of ‘We Become One’, a collaboration with Foreign Beggars and DJ Craze. Then Calyx & TeeBee hit you with the rock-influenced ‘You’ll Never Take Me Alive’ featuring Beardyman, providing yet another inspired piece of deliciously different drum & bass. Each track on ‘All Or Nothing’ is crafted with expert precision and infused with a fresh and unique set of influences.

But while ‘All Or Nothing’ is packed with stand-out moments, it’s the album as a whole that becomes something far more exciting than the sum of its parts. Calyx & TeeBee stitch each moment together with over a decade’s worth of knowledge and an undeniable wisdom about how to create an exciting and unique sounding album. ‘All Or Nothing’ will draw you in and refuse to let go as moods and ideas flow freely, leaving you gasping for breath. This will undoubtedly be one of the albums of the year, if not the decade.

Pascal and DJ Hype drop another bomb from the sonic terrorist that is DJ Hazard. Hazard aka Scott Molloy destroyed the dancefloors and airwaves of the Midlands during the 90s; but when Hazard joined the Playaz camp things could only get dangerous and together they’ve let out some explosive anthems which have shaped the dnb genre.

Skibadee feat. Lily McKenzie - Never Gonna Break (Sub Zero Remix) (Crissy Criss 1Xtra Ace Of Clubs)

Regal Records has become synonymous with some of the most musical, original and unique productions on the scene today. With Dimension and SkankandBass forging the label into a small outlet known for big quality, Regal Records has earned an ever growing fanbase. One of the biggest years yet for Regal, 2012 has seen the label go from strength to strength. Hooked by releases such as ‘Tape Marauders’ by Hyroglifics, the huge Ad Gannon EP, along with dancefloor weapons by Dub Motion, ravers across the scene are noticing an imprint doing huge things. Gaining support from the likes of Crissy Criss, Cyantific, Matrix & Futurebound, London Elektricity, AMC, and many others, Regal Records continues to punch well above its weight.

Now Regal continue on their mission to release quality music with a brand new release from British producer Chords. One of 2012’s most promising new talents, Chords burst onto the scene after remixing Cyantifics’s ‘Don’t Follow’ on Hospitality Festival Drum & Bass. Quickly gaining the attention of the mighty Matrix, the finalist of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year soon found himself releasing on one of the pillars of DnB itself, Metro Recordings. After releasing the sumptuous ‘Hypnotize / Follow You’ and more recently the lush ‘Video Soul / Fly’ on Metro, Chords is set to make his debut release on Regal. Featuring the soulful sounds of ‘In Lightspeed’ and the dancefloor funk of ‘By Design’, this one will be dominating 2013.

Already known for his soulful, funk infused productions, Chords kicks things off in style with ‘In Lightspeed’. After a mesmerizing introduction that features a hypnotizing vocal, warm textured synths and bags of atmosphere, ‘In Lightspeed” evolves into a slice of stunning DnB. Smooth synth sounds, sharp stabs, intricate percussion and a dreamy vocal all work together to put ‘In Lightspeed’ in a class of its own.

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.
