Chook is back after a 4 year sabbatical from drum 'n' bass. Those who were around to witness his output during the mid to late 2000's know just how cutting-edge his sound was and still is today. Chook has been busy producing his live band Monophona, who could be stylistically described as a modern day Portishead fused with techno and trip hop beats as well as live instrumentation and morphed out bass lines. 

"The Thread" kicks off with epic pads and features the haunting and spine tingling vocal talents of Monophona's Caludine Muno. Contorted fx layers weave their way in and out of this pristine vox line in complimentary fashion, impactfully adding depth and intensity during the intro. Massive drums thrash away atop of a highly modulated and turbulently grooving bass line at the drop. Subtle stab and midrange elements contribute progression and harmoniously glorify this incredibly catchy groove until the breakdown arrives, where filtered mids accompany the vocal line leading up to the second drop. As expected, Chook has delivered an absolute monster of a comeback tune… one that gets stuck in your head and one that you will surely be reaching for in months and years to come.

Chook feat Monophona - The Thread

Available now via on iTunes & Amazon - taken from the forthcoming 'Music for Orchestra: Drums & Bass': https://MedSchoolMusic.lnk.to/MusicForOrchestraDnBSo

Since settling into Bristol’s cultural hub Keeno has thrived. His latest project ‘Music For Orchestra: Drums & Bass’ fuses two worlds, pumping rich classical scores with an underground drum & bass heartbeat. The recording of live orchestral elements in four new tracks has propelled his distinctive repertoire to new heights, making an incredible follow-up to his sophomore album ‘Futurist'.

Opening track ‘Enigma’ balances thick staccato strings, long drawn harmonics and weighty bass for full impact. Since Keeno took part in Enter Shikari’s ‘Hospitalised’ remix album frontman Rou Reynolds has been a big fan. He’s returned the favour with a vocal lead on ‘Shelter From The Storm’ where natural elements create an earthly atmosphere for this deep bassy roller. Turning to Keeno’s more dancefloor focused persona ‘Fading Fast’ mixes a heavy reverberating bassline with sharp breaths of strings to create a tension-building, powerful counterpart. Finally, the church-like vocals of ‘Insomnia Of An Anxious Mind’ echo the somber sounds of late night emotions - a satisfyingly moody alternative to Keeno’s usual uplifting magic.

“Music for Orchestra: Drums & Bass is a collection of tunes inspired by my recent move to Bristol. I finally have a dedicated space to be creative and it's really transformed my music. I feel really proud of this bunch of tunes - they reflect my full range of classical styles and go off on the dancefloor. Thank you and enjoy!” - Keeno

Pre-order Talisman here: Whiney.lnk.to/Talismanso

Whiney’s underground drum & bass flare has flourished since signing exclusively to Med School. Now he’s set and ready to present his incredible debut album ‘Talisman’ - a symbol of his dedication to D+B with a strong 12-track collection of dancefloor weapons.

The hard-hitting album opener ‘Talisman’ sets the pace with epic musicality, industrial bleeps and fat, meaty basslines. Matching up with the heavyweight business are ‘Archive’ and ‘Rock Hopper’. Plus ‘Minds Collide’ can’t be missed – a middle-eastern influenced half-time stepper that matches up with the exuding attitude of ‘Portal’ that's already received support from neuro giants Noisia.

Whiney’s joined forces with Hospital’s Brazilian mastermind on ‘Sun Kissed’, balancing choppy vocal snippets with Urbandawn’s signature percussions and growling subs. Turning to melancholic movements is ‘The Farthest Shore’ and ‘Never Too Long’ the latter a collaboration with long-term label mate Keeno and lead by a strong vocal topline from Whiney himself. A final collaborative effort comes from Med School’s resident MC Inja who’s brought his lyrical genius to Whiney’s deep roller ‘Flashlight’.

Camo & Krooked  - Broken Pieces (Culture Shock Remix)

Next weekend, we welcome the return of one of the leading duos in drum & bass as Spectrasoul play Room Two. They’ve been keeping busy since they last joined us, with last year’s killer 'How We Live' LP landing on their Ish Chat label. They’re now dropping remixes of album tracks 'Burst' and 'Say What' on a new EP featuring Calibre, so they sent over their glistening mix of 'Say What' for us to share. Speaking of how the remix came together, they told us:

“We'd always thought that 'Say What' would lend itself to a nice D&B remix, so when the vocalist Madi said that she had composed some nice piano chords, we got to work. The original vocal took on a completely new vibe once it was sitting on the new chords, so we stripped everything back and focussed on that late-night, sultry vibe and it just grew from there...”

Spectrasoul play RM2 on 13/04: fabricldn.co/e4qdum
