Liquid Stranger - Bionic Beatdown

Future Sound of London-We Have Explosive ( RollsToys Re-edit )

As everyone who’s been paying attention recently will know, Program is the brand new label from Andy C and Scott Bourne’s Ram Records. Having reached an incredible 20 years in the game, Ram have opened their doors to fresh styles and an exciting roster of talent for Program’s release schedule. Kicked off with Frankee’s debut solo single, this new project looks set to become a staple diet of drum & bass DJs across the globe.

Following on from Frankee’s single come one of the scene’s most well known and loved production collectives. Having racked up releases on the biggest and brightest drum & bass labels, it makes perfect sense to add them to Program’s roster, and Wickaman, Hoodlum, Mavrik & RV do not disappoint as they bring with them two outstanding tracks packed with musical promise.

First up ‘One Scratch’ takes you on an epic journey filled with beautiful, wide open soundscapes. Yearning vocals and long, drawn out pads pull you gently in as progressive melodies build and grow towards the drop. A drop that works effortlessly against the stunning backdrop already painted by Wickaman, Hoodlum & Mavrik, underpinning the whole track with a warm bassline and plenty of low sub-bass. This one will undoubtedly have clubbers losing themselves on the dance floor whenever it is dropped.

Then Wickaman & RV take to the studio for another incredible piece of drum & bass music in the form of ‘Sound Clash’. Gentle beats and subtle percussion get things going as the duo head down another epic path. Soon you’re enveloped with rolling hi-passed amen breaks and bouncing bass notes all topped off with expertly placed vocal samples which culminate in a track which will sound incredible on a huge sound system and just as good on your mp3 player.

Wickaman & RV - Sound Clash (Bailey 1xtra - Exclusive 1st Play)

With two huge releases from Frankee and Wickaman, Hoodlum, Mavrik & RV already doing damage across the globe. We are now ready to unleash our third; another huge single from an exciting fresh-faced producer. Kove.

Kove’s musical history saw him move from Sussex to London to produce for an electro-pop band in 2009. The following year this young producer encountered drum & bass for the first time and since then has never looked back, immersing himself in the scene and concentrating his efforts on writing his own take on the genre.

Those efforts are clearly working as Kove’s musical talent is already picking up steam thanks to a huge remix for LA music legend and ex-M83 guitarist Big Black Delta. And now his debut single for Program will cement his reputation as one to watch even further. Picked up by Andy C and heavily supported in his sets, Kove’s first outing on program is packed with essential drum & bass energy.

‘Iodine’ leads the way with a stunning musical intro that’s filled with dance floor promise. Kove slowly builds the tension with filtered drums and haunting snippets of vocal before a winding, grinding bassline smashes into the mix. This one is sure to set clubs alight whenever it’s dropped, confirming exactly why Program have given Kove their seal of approval.

Next up is ‘Open Ground’ an altogether lighter affair, fans of the deeper sound of drum & bass will love this track. As the name suggests this one is filled with wide open synths and atmospherics all of which culminate in an effortlessly rolling breakbeat and booming sub-bass combination that provides a perfect balance to Kove’s debut single for Program.

Kove - Open Ground

The first two singles taken from Calyx & TeeBee’s forthcoming album ‘All Or Nothing’ have been heavily supported by tastemakers across the board. Lining up to drop them are Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Annie Mac,  UK #1 artists DJ Fresh and Rudimental, Example’s touring partner DJ Wire and scene stalwarts TC and Matrix & Futurebound, to name but a few. And now the duo is ready to unleash the third single from ‘All Or Nothing’, an incredible slice of D&B funk featuring the vocal talents of Kemo.

Marrying influences from hip hop, funk and mid-‘90s drum & bass, Calyx & TeeBee offer up a distinctly different track that tugs on feelings of nostalgia while pushing the envelope forward. ‘Pure Gold’ is effortlessly fresh, oozing with bouncing hip hop, double bass funk and D&B energy this track will undoubtedly sound great from the car to the club, across radio waves and dance floors alike.

Wilkinson steps up for the first remix of the package, keeping the orchestral provenance suggested by the intro of the original and rolling it out into a booming, winding bass monster. This is drumstep at its finest, resisting the urge to throw in a million random bleeps, Wilkinson instead infuses ‘Pure Gold’ with his own unique style and creates an absolute killer of a remix in the process.

Next up Hostage takes ‘Pure Gold’ into serious bouncing house territory. As the punchy drums are punctuated by that infamous horn sample you’re pulled slowly and gently in. Before long Hostage places precision cuts of Kemo’s vocal and the infectious bass loop into the mix along with some carnival snares that ensure this is one of the most infectious 4/4 tracks you’re likely to hear all year.

Rounding the digital package off Calyx & TeeBee offer up their own track ‘Perspectives’, a sure-fire slice of D&B that’s sure to keep the heads happy. Relentless bass and expertly chosen sound FX all combine with rolling percussion and stunning production to create a perfect dance floor roller.
