SPOTLIGHT

Stalwarts of the drum & bass scene for nearly three decades, London duo Loxy & Ink open up their 2022 account with a new single ‘Spray Trains Of Thought’.

The UK breakbeat pioneers have racked up an arsenal of releases for breakthrough labels such as Metalheadz, Hospital Records and Renegade Hardware, as well as their own Cylon Recordings and Architecture Recordings imprints. Their sounds have been brought to countless dancefloors around the globe, and the pair have held down residencies at pivotal nights such as Metalheadz Blue Note sessions, Fabio & Bukem’s Speed and Renegade Hardware’s parties at The End.

Having already flexed their hip-hop credentials on last year’s ‘Manifested Visions’ on R&S, the duo return with another blazing lyrical delivery and raw production. Drawing upon their influences from artists like KRS One, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, NAS and Mobb Deep, ‘Spray Trains Of Thought’ hits hard, as astute rhymes come thick and fast over tenacious beats and brooding horn blasts, proving that Loxy & Ink have the versatility to work across genres with ease and always deliver some serious musical heat!

Accompanying track ‘Channel’ find Ink and Loxy back in familiar break beat territory, as they team up with regular collaborator, the Finish producer Resound, for a textbook heavy stepper. Innovative breaks and throbbing bass frequencies hurtle forward at breakneck speed, with its vocal elements providing the warmth and soul in this smouldering production.

https://fanlink.tv/SYMM052 Symmetry are proud to announce a long awaited debut from Ed:it on the label. Teaming up on this A side with the talented Data 3, they deliver a proper tech roller, a style that’s somewhat illusive these days. Reminiscent of artists such as Konflict and Stakka & Skynet, “Limmy” has crunchy weight and an addictive groove. Featuring Ed:it’s analogue and earthy sound “Limmy” develops effectively as a clever journey leaving you wanting more.

A solo offering on the flip, “A Whole Thang” has a more playful flavour, whilst sonically matching it’s counterpart for style and substance. Ed:it is always true to his name with clever edited fills and production tricks keeping your ear interested till the last few bars. The more wonky and melodic bassline fits together nicely with stylish drums and hip hop vocals for a club tune that delivers every time.

IF ONLY YOU COULD KNOW (feat. Molly Graham)

I've seen the great toil of man, watched me be erased
They’ve parted the seas but not yet made a key for the woman in chains
Everyone’s talking, everyone’s shouting, I’ll just be quiet, shall I? 
I read your script and my role just concerned me walking from room to room crying 

Nothing excites me
I’ve bottled my lightning 
The world doesn’t frighten me half as much as it can
No nothing excites me
I’m tired of the routine
Of crying for you and the things I can’t hold in my hand

Any mistakes that I’ve made, I’ll claim them as mine 
Paragon, virtue, the mother that hurt you, it’s all captured here in my smile
Lay your head on my breast, tell me your dreams, and i’ll put mine to bed
Sing me a lullaby, won’t you darling? For the life I almost had

Ah nothing excites me
I’ve bottled my lightning 
The world isn’t frightening me half as much as I wish it would 
No nothing excites me
I’m tired of the routine
Of crying for you and the way that I’ll look in my funeral suit

Soul Deep Digital and Dan Guidance are proud to present the Instant Connection EP, which is now available in all major digital stores and streaming sites.  The U.K.-based producer returns to the imprint and delivers a beautiful set of Liquid compositions that show off his keen song-writing ability.  Dan Guidance continues to build an impressive catalogue of songs, and the “Instant Connection EP” is another journey into his creative world.  

The release kicks off with the hypnotic sounds of the title track, “Instant Connection.”  The song is highlighted by steady ticking drums, warping keys, edgy mid-basslines, and a mesmorizing backdrop os synth pads and strings. “Fuzzy Buzz,” is up next and drifts along with its warm piano chords, crunchy drums, rolling sub-bassline, and ethereal vocals.  “Find Me,” is up next and captures a more dance floor vibe with its reese baseline, epic vocals, drenched backdrop, and stripped down drum pattern.  Dan Guidance lays down the wicked Liquid/Jungle vibes in the track, “This is the Last Time.”  The track blends wandering horn riffs, echoing vocals, and a warm sub-baseline, falling underneath a choppy Jungle break.  “When There’s Soul,” rounds things out in style with its echoing piano keys, airy pads, snappy drums, and bouncing bassline.  Dan Guidance continues to make a name for himself in the production scene.  The Instant Connection EP will further expose the listeners to the magical production skills that he possesses.  We hope you enjoy the vibes!
