Document One - Revolution EP

RELEASE DATE: 14th Sept 2014

Document One have already proven their credentials in the world of electronic dance music. Their songwriter’s instinct for harmony and melody, melded seamlessly with the powerful beats and bass required by discerning dancefloors mean that they’ve quickly built an impressive reputation. Between their genre-spanning remix work for names like Rob Zombie, Moby and Professor Green, their rave and radio ubiquity and their global DJing schedule, they’ve made waves across the scene. And now they’ve landed on Technique for some D&B business.
First off is Revolution. Effervescent natural samples set the
scene, but then Document One signal danger with the onset of a militant beat. Synthetic glitches disturb the peace even further, and then things are teched up to breaking point until the drop strikes hard. And when it does, it tells the story of a serene melodic landscape being defaced with digital warpaint. This is marching music, proving that these boys aren’t playing at D&B, they’re doing it properly.
Then we go sci-fi with Are We Alone. And this is no gentle saunter through the solar system, it’s the soundtrack to a harsh and brutal alien invasion and subsequent enslavement of the population. Driving bass and mid call and response patterns force ravers to move at sub-point, while stuttering drums add an extra layer of insistence. This is a dark and technical sound, but with all the energy required when the big room needs a hype injection.
And just in case you thought Document One had left their melody at Technique’s front door, we have something cut from a different mould with Kindness for Weakness, showcasing the jazz-infused voice of Sam Friend. Aficionado-pleasing drum edits bounce around elegant string and piano samples and subtle synth ornaments. Simultaneously, low end weight provides a counterpoint to Sam’s soaring vocals. Altogether, this is a display of expertise from a crew who have mastered their craft.
So this is Document One’s warning shot. This is their statement of intent that they have some lethal D&B moves and they’re not afraid to use them. Get to know their junglist side and brace yourselves because, for Document One on Technique Recordings, this is only the first assault.

Document One - Revolution [ Crissy Criss BBC 1Xtra  Exclusive 1st play]

NewEra - Birds In The Sky

Is Your Soul Defiant?

More amazing international neurofunk from the Close2Death camp. The Gloucester, UK-based label have been carving a path through drum & bass over the past few years, establishing a name and an identity by only dealing in the very best sounds from the edges of reality. On C2D015 they present two mighty slices of future music, from Russia and from France.

After releases on You So Fat and Ammunition with Kaibre, Russia’s Effector returns with The Destroyed Kingdom, this time around in the capable hands of Neonlight. From its sleek, shimmering intro, filled with electronic pulses and rising, angelic backing, the remix takes you far and wide, from this world to others. The track lifts slowly, but soon establishes its meaning, which is all-out neuro destruction. Neonlight marks his own territory on the track, lending it an edge as only he can do. This is one unholy banger, full of energy and life. The remixer takes the track into new areas, but never loses sight of the original’s soul and purpose. Get ready.

The flip, meanwhile, comes from French electronic producer Landscapers, who delivers Chords From Woods. Mixing drum & bass and ambient in his sound, Louis Pertuy has achieved something definitely unique. Chords From Woods establishes itself early on, with a sharp and dynamic melody rising out of the intro. To this the producer adds kicks and the rumble of a bassline.

The track pitches up, as the drums roll on. Crazy synths come in after the drop, with Landscapers happy to alternate between the electronic, glitchy elements and more straight-ahead drum & bass ideas throughout the track. Different, divergent and utterly addictive, Chords From Woods shows just how much Close2Death are pushing things forward as we look to 2015.

High quality beats as ever from C2D. Get inside C2D015 for something different.

Enei & Kasra - Basic Instinct

Buy 'Broadwalk' - http://bit.ly/dis107m

Marking his debut Dispatch release with a two tracker on the main label, we are excited to welcome Bristol based Mikal this May for the single ‘Broadwalk / Episode’. Rigorously harnessing the rawness of the old school with the technical vigour of modern times, Mikal presents a gritty duo of tracks that give a sense of composed anarchism. Nothing less than punishing low ends and brusque breaks from the ‘silent assassin’, delivering a thumping, groove infused stepper in ‘Broadwalk’ and a techy, relentless drum assault in ‘Episode’. Bringing a double hitter, hurting right where it counts, we are pleased to introduce Mikal to Dispatch.
