Leave The Natural World Behind

One of the most iconic album series in drum n bass is back, the fourth edition of Platinum Breakz has arrived and some are saying it is the best in the series. The album is largely made up of Drum n Bass’s best new players, with appearances from the labels first wave also appearing. The strength of the artists on the compilation says much about the healthy position Metalheadz is in right now and as an overall package the album is a perfect instalment in an iconic series.

A relative newcomer to Headz but no newcomer to the craft, Om Unit has in one way found his way back home as a student of early Metalheadz and then making his name within other genres. Timelines is a B-boy anthem of breaks, subs and bongos. Om Unit’s contributions to Headz have been very stand-out, just check the way Timelines moves from B-boy breaks anthem into dub soundsystem shaker- which indeed was a timeline for our very genre.

Translation Recordings is proud to present the sampler for Nuage's long-awaited 'Prints of You' LP, featuring two hand-picked standouts from the album and two exclusive remixes by Ital Tek and Silent Dust.

On ‘Lifestyle,’ Nuage and Gerwin create a dreamy and uplifting atmosphere, blending warm Rhodes keys, silky vocals, and an infectious head-nodding groove. Nuage dials things down to 136 BPM on title track ‘Prints of You,’ a beautiful and evocative composition from the heart that progresses along to a heavyweight bassline with hints of analogue distortion. This essential groove demonstrates Nuage’s continuing refinement as a musician and provides the perfect teaser for the full 15-track album, which covers the spectrum of Deep House, Garage, Drum & Bass, and Chillstep.

As an added bonus on the sampler, experimental 160 BPM duo Silent Dust offer a fresh take on Nuage and N4M3’s ‘Sunday Morning,’ fusing Jungle breaks and Footwork influences; and renowned Planet-Mu artist Ital Tek closes things up with his re-imagining of ‘Prints of You,’ where shuffling percussive rhythms and bouncing 808 bass offer a more up-tempo twist on the title track that is not to be missed.

DJ support from Phaeleh, Blu Mar Ten, Om Unit, Ivy Lab, and DJ Flight

A1. For the New Dawn (feat. Agama)
A2. Restart
B. Stargazing (feat. Om Unit)

Cosmic Bridge continues its recent streak of releases with a three-track EP from Spanish producer Vromm that reinforces the label’s dedication to expanding the lexicon of UK dance music. For The New Dawn embraces wider melodic and compositional potentials while remaining anchored in the same bass-heavy, forward thinking mold fans have come to love. Taking inspiration from beyond electronic music, Vromm puts forward the sort of versatile take on drum & bass that has already earned him praise from Resident Advisor and Mixmag. 

The EP opens with the title track, an anthemic electronic ballad for the summer featuring Agama. Written over the space of a few years, "For The New Dawn" combines a steady minimal beat with delicate sound design, bright synthesizer chords with splashes of improvised piano and horns. Agama’s voice brings the whole thing together, and her catchy chorus is sure to bring joy to many an unsuspecting dancefloor over the summer. As Om Unit puts it, "this will be the last tune of many a clued up DJ." "Restart" closes the A side with a simple, minimal vibe. Originally intended as a dubstep production, the track morphed as Vromm upped the tempo. Beginning as an eyes-down roller, Vromm adds layers of melodies and rhythms to reach something more euphoric yet still subdued. 

The B side is dedicated to "Stargazing," a 9-minute collaboration between Vromm and Om Unit. Arguably the label’s most ambitious production to date, "Stargazing" is also a perfect snapshot of the influences and intentions that have underpinned it from the start. Began as a melodic draft by Vromm, the track came together as the two producers added ideas from jazz, ambient and fusion. The result is an epic ride that blends organic and electronic, a production not obviously aimed at the dancefloor and yet still capable of shaking dancers alive. 

From the New Dawn is released 6th July 2018 on Cosmic Bridge Records on 12" vinyl and digital formats.

Buy or stream 'Perehod' here: http://Bop.lnk.to/Perehodso

Experimental Saint Petersburg-based sonic shapeshifter Bop is back on Hospital Records with his brand new five-track ‘Perehod’ EP that ventures afar from his usual drum & bass status as he spans through 2-step, breakbeat and ambient: all with his spellbinding signature production finesse which has already received the seal of approval from the likes of Ejeca, London Elektricity, Alec Falconer, Because Of Art and Oneman.

Opening piece ‘NDE’ casts Bop’s archetypal and skittery off-beat rhythms across a palate of soothing synth pads, adventurous arpeggios and dusty hoover bass drones. Subtly funky throughout, the tinges of garage vocal stabs shimmer across this imaginative stepper.

‘Take Your Time’ offers up thought provoking chord progressions amongst Bop’s contemplative sound . A super low-slung drum pattern makes way for the crisp, immersive vocal tones that flutter elegantly above.

Switching to fifth gear, ‘Beach Simulator 3D’ leads the charge with up-tempo breakbeats racing across dubby chord stabs and eerie percussive effects. A late-night ride you’ll need to buckle your seatbelt for, Bop initiates intergalactic mode on this one.

‘Skolzkaya Dorozhka’, meaning ‘Slippery Slope’ in Russian, is a wobbly dub groove that channels styles from mid-noughties DMZ and Tempa releases, a heavy sub drives through a minimalist half-time groove.

Finally, the 150+ BPM whopper ‘Hiding’ is a nod to Bop’s love for dance music which can be found at the faster end of the electronic spectrum. Ticking hats and warm atmospherics are the perfect wrap-up to a truly special release.

No stranger to pioneering successful moves outside the realms of 174BPM, Bop secured the number 1 spot on the Beatport Garage chart alongside Subwave with ‘Haze’. With support over the years from the likes of DJ Mag and Resident Advisor, as well as radio support on BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and Reprezent, not to mention the running of his very own esteemed Microfunk imprint, Bop continues to affirm himself as an undeniable dance music pillar.
