HLZ has finally released his highly anticipated debut solo single on Utopia Music, and it's been a long time in the making.

For true drum & bass enthusiasts, HLZ's name should already be on your radar. He has been curating the purest form of D&B since 2009 for the real heads out there. These tracks offer creativity and integrity, pushing the boundaries of his own respected style within the genre and nodding to times past with a modern update.

The two-track 12" wastes no time in showcasing HLZ's intentions. "Black Core" kicks things off with its icy break workouts, featuring raw, rasping drums with an industrial edge. It's not a high-speed roller but rather a sneaky creeper that satisfies those who want intricate beats backed with nightmarish overtones.

With "Arcane," HLZ takes us on a journey of pure pressure in the way he knows best, stepping rhythms, stabbing yet gut-punching bass design, working in tandem with groovy tablas, clever fx builds, topped with lush euphoric pad work, 170 in the truest form. It's a distinct track that reveals the hidden magic of a B-side.

This release demonstrates why HLZ is a crucial figure in the genre and upholds the core values of D&B.

Rainforest - Deranged [AGN7 Audio] PREMIERE

Wicked Jungle Records and Okee take you on a deep jungle/D&B excursion with the forthcoming release 'Kobu / Yuyu', paying homage to the Golden Years of atmospheric jungle whilst adding contemporary liquid flavours. 'Kobu' delivers a hard-hitting flurry of rapid fire amen breaks expertly balanced with soaring, atmospheric pads and an infectious, undulating bassline straight out of '94. 'Yuyu' sees timestretched snares interweave with 2-step breaks and laid back, jazzy bass notes creating a perfect example of modern jungle funk. Okee's 'Kobu / Yuyu' delivers two very differing takes on the liquid, drum & bass style which are destined to become an essential addition to any forward thinking jungle/drum & bass set.

Acid Lab drops the classic Jungle heat on this EP.
Make Some Noise and Criminal Minds both conjour up feelings of nostalgia for the early days of Jungle. His cutting edge production skills bring the sound into the 2020's with precision breaks and deep bass. Acid Lab never fails to impress and these two tracks are no exception to the rule. Uncompromising raw Jungle!
