Do we have something for you here. The finest in drum & bass, fresh from Redlight, the label from the one and only Optiv. Always known for bringing some amazing talent through, the C4C man has done it again, this time with Zero Method, out of Hungary.

Zero Method’s releases, on labels like Subtitles, Disturbed and DCS14, have been supported by Ed Rush, Trace, Teebee as well as Cause 4 Concern and more. From his roots on online radio, Zero Method has come up through the ranks, taking his influences and moulding his very own minimal, expressive style. His effective, simple and clean arrangements have been met with appreciation all across the scene, and he now returns to Redlight for the Groundbreaker EP.

The title track leads things off, and it’s immediately obvious why he’s gathered so much acclaim over the last few years. The track explodes out of the blocks, leading with a gritty, grimey, underground feel. The drums are precise, the bass burning, and it doesn’t take long for the spirit and feeling of Zero Method’s music to take hold. You’ll find yourself reaching for this one again and again, as your habit for Zero Method becomes an addiction.

Overloaded is pure d&b, in the best possible sense. Delving seriously deep, ZM draws the best out of his production skills, transferring thoughts and ideas from himself to you in an ode to a mashed-up future world. The way that the tracks ducks and weaves around your consciousness is nothing short of amazing. Get involved in this one, or miss out.

All of the tracks on Groundbreaker have their own distinct personalities, which shines through in the way ZM approaches them. The huge Mechatron is ruggedly cinematic, and would not be out of place in a remake of Blade Runner or the like. The drop is truly out of this world, after which ZM leads you down some very dark sonic alleys, returning to the surface with a lift later on. Very, very special.

Closer Cold War has been given the Optiv remix treatment, and together, they have come together on something with all the hallmarks of a classic. The urgent, colliding beats are matched with an undertow the likes of which we’ve not heard since classic Dillinja. The track *makes* you get up on the floor, leaving nothing behind and nothing to chance. You’ll be banging your head against a very hard wall in no time with this one.

The Groundbreaker EP is the future. Luckily for you, Zero Method is now.
