Submotive & Krakota - Tell Me

Better Be Sure

Y2K saw the release of Total Science’s anthem ‘Champion Sound’ Hardcore Will Never Die remix. Lurching into a new millennium, with promises of system meltdown, the end of civilisation as we know it and all other sorts of madness, its dissonant and edgy feel captured the moment perfectly. And consequently it was almost impossible to go to a Drum & Bass rave and not have this soundtrack of 2000 pummelling your eardrums then, and also ever since. 

Seen as one of the defining tunes of the genre, it has now spawned it’s own spinoff series, ‘The Hardcore Will Never Die Years’ remixes. Promising several remixes of some of the duo’s most seminal tracks from the early 2000s, from some of the biggest and best producers in the scene currently, we can now be assured of a whole host of new dancefloor weapons. 

And starting the series in true style is Break, with his ridiculous remix of ‘Squash’. A massive tune in it’s own right, ‘Squash’ was always going to need a serious working over to be bettered; and if you could trust one man to do it, it would be Break. Keeping all the original elements, brining them up to 2022 standard and then injecting his own trademark to proceedings, we are now left with everything that is good about this music in Y2K22.

Lyrics

Watch your brain as it dries away
Bringin' new life on some people today-ay
I've tried so hard to keep from crying' so-oo
I've tried to tell myself to let you go
See you sittin' on your throne now
Tell me baby, what you see
Yeah. Anybody of the people
Oh oh. Oh tellin' lies about me-ee
Watch the sun as it rises kind of slow
Shining on the people now, letting it know
There's gonna come a time now when?
When I've tried
and you see how all your friends now baby
All of the lies
Try a little harder (oooh)
Make a smile
Try a little harder (oooh)
All-ll the while
Try a little harder (oooh)
Bring a sunny day. Yeah
Try a little harder to come my way-ay-ay
Ohhh as soon rises the starshine
Is gonna come a cloudy day-ay
Ohhh and the rain that you make now
Gonna wash me away-ay (Ayyyy)
Try a little harder (oooh)
Make a smile
Try a little harder (oooh)
All-ll the while
Try a little harder (oooh)
Bring a sunny day. Yeah, yeah
Try a little harder to come my way-ay-ay
Yeah baby
Would you try a little harder

‣ Available here: backl.ink/oeuvre
‣ Website/Bandcamp release date: 06 April 2020
‣ General release date: 10 April 2020

Bristolian Stephen Redmore, known through his drum & bass alias Mako, is finally set to unleash his forthcoming LP on Metalheadz, something which he’s been working on behind the scenes for some time. The label head of Utopia is well known for his slick production and penchant for underground anthems, something which has been seen again and again on his own imprint, as well as across a plethora of labels which have acted as pillars for the drum & bass world. Having already made his presence felt before within the catalogue of Metalheadz, as well as Break’s Symmetry Recordings, Dispatch, Soul:R and Samurai Music, he’s a valuable part of the genre’s make up, which is why the announcement of his forthcoming LP ignited widespread anticipation.

Directly translated to ‘a body of art’, Mako’s LP ‘Oeuvre’ is representative of his life’s work in music production. The switching breaks of ‘Heartstone’, slamming, yet eerily hollowed snares of ‘Offline’ and grinding bassline of ‘Life Cycle’ alongside the late Andy Skopes, a testament to the legacy he left behind, set the tone. Meanwhile, Villem and Fields join Mako for the LP’s next collaboration ‘Liquid Groover’ before the emotive swelling build of ‘The Window’ gives way to a second drop beat switch up, continuing the journey. ‘Flip it’ has already been doing the club rounds, as the moody Photek atmospherics of ‘One Reality’ and more affectional twists of ‘Holding You’ adds to the tracklist’s versatility.

‘The Scenic Values’ underscores Mako’s love of Krust and Doc Scott production grooves, whilst the experimental soundscape of ‘Hoxton Home’ heralds back to old Lemon D. ‘Oh Really’ finishes the album’s more club-orientated offerings, which follows with a 170bpm techno style track via ‘Passive Aggressor’. ‘Oeuvre’ is a walkthrough of Mako’s many personalities as a musician and it finds a welcome home within Metalheadz’s historic discography.
