Codename: RCRDS continue a new trilogy of Various Artist releases with Distant Memories EP, which sees the label bring together a selection of the finest talents in the Atmospheric DnB scene.

The EP opens with label newcomer Microcosm who brings us ‘Journey Of A Thousand Miles’ a beautiful driving atmospheric jungle roller, full of warped bass and lush strings and pads.

Another label debutant, fast-rising TRC2, moves things into a darker direction with ‘There Is a Flame’, an ominous techy roller built for the dancefloor and the head with its intricately programmed breaks and distorted bass tones.

Things continue with Codename favourite NonRev delivering ‘As We Are’, where ominous siren-esque tones meet snappy rolling breaks and his trademark lush production.  This prolific producer continues to be one to watch.

The EP closes with a typically gorgeous roller from the inimitable Okee, interspersing catchy vocals with fresh strings and gorgeous keys and synth tones, to close this second part of the ‘Distant’ series on a high.

CODERCRDS014 - Distant Memories EP (OUT 08/12/23)

NonRev has been making a lot of noise in the world of Jungle and Drum & Bass in 2023. As can be expected he throws down some heat on his first outing with Wicked Jungle Records. 
Baby Just Ask Me and Run With the Dogs are both masterful blends of modern rolling Jungle breakbeats, deep reese style bass, horns and airy synths. Combining this with the the use of little bits of hardcore piano coming and going among jungle sfx and tribal soundscapes, NonRev manages to be both deep and in your face at the same time.

Mella Man - Melladramatix EP - Architecture Recordings - ARX079

We welcome Mella Man to the Architecture Recordings roster with this explosive extended project as his dynamic debut  - this is one to watch in the future. Architecture revisits its “Hyper” bass DnB style similar to older classics like Architex (INK & J.DUB) ft Loxy - “Submerged”  capturing a  high octane festive style maintaining the elements of sound with raw and gritty intent. Mella Man hits hard with this bass driven super charged EP and packs a mega punch to knock out the most hardcore of rave goers with his fall to floor dnb style.

No newbie to the scene, Mella man started his drum and bass beginnings in the early 90’s with events in Northampton, UK and later moved into music production of which he would find his final love. With a world of experience and an ear for an energised sound, Mella Man brings the drama to the main stage. Architecture Recordings sees the year out with a bang and a sonic boom!

Simon V - Icebreaker (B-complex Remix) - SAN-2046

The brooding ‘Masure’ has been given a crisp, new heavy-stepping remix by Matik. Growling bass snarls underscore the haunting piano line, creating a feel that’s sometimes unnerving and always funky.
