Rising duo Circumference is made up of Bristol based uni students & music producers Kit Jones and Finlay Freshney-Lee, who deliver gut punching soundscapes that will literally stop you in your skank. The young pair have an impressive 10 years of production experience between them, and have been releasing music on labels like Flexout, Overview and Soulvent over the last 2 years. Their latest output provides further insight into their awe-inspiring approach to dance music, which certainly leaves an impression to say the least.  

Title track ‘Breathe’ crackles to life with that satisfying match stroke followed by an intense build through a seemingly endless series of crescendos. Orchestral, hard-hitting thumps of percussion are met with gritty vocals and an impending sense of doom. This one is likely to turn your next rave into a 999-call with immediate effect, and will most certainly have some of you reaching for your inhaler.

Thankfully, ‘Pyramid’ builds a more subtle foundation, with some welcomingly calmer tones to salve its predecessor's onslaught. The build-up offers more delightful synth work and a more traditional structure, which are met with whooshing, satisfying sidechaining and playful percussive elements. 

The murky atmosphere of ‘SEE’ yet again switches up the vibe, with a more dystopian intro, followed by week-altering, half-time flavours. Drop number two progresses the synth wonderment with an even more risque rhythm section switch up will have you grinning. This Ivy Lab-esque curveball proves that this pair are far from one-hit-wonders and worth considering as artists to watch as 2022 looms. 

Finally ‘Breathe (Out)’ offers a real insight into the duos’ penchant and appreciation for more classically coined and intricate instrumentation. This heart wrenching reprise delivers just as much force as its brother, but with an unexpected twist in its drum pattern. Stress-inducing suspense levels are met with more tense strings and roars of bass which are a marvel all of their own and will certainly have you frowning on the tube and the dancefloor alike. 

Breathe in deep and appreciate this cleverly constructed, thought provoking EP from 2 of d&b’s most exciting prospects, landing in all good stores on the 12th of November.

Razoof Feat. Binti.Afrika - Italfood (Fraksen & Mad Vibes Remix) - Original Key Records

Stream/Buy: https://cygnusmusic.link/ero44eo

The formidable talents of Frankfurt’s finest Drum and Bass beatsmiths Franksen and Mad Vibes join forces on the already remarkable original of “Italfood” by Razoof and Binti.Afrika. The product is an undeniably anthem which glues together Reggae and Drum and Bass on a ruff Jungle ride fueled with pride and determination on the vocals: “It’s a rude gal thing”!

Drawing influence from their love of the old-school, Franksen and Mad Vibes provide classic helicopter- and amen-breakbeats choppage wrapped in rave fanfares, hypnotic Reggae guitar-licks and sound system noises. Whilst the drum work takes you on a journey, Binti.Afrika’s mind-bending vocals pave the way for fighting the stereotype that women only want to hear sweet tunes. Her vocal-samples - saying “this a rude gal thing, you better come real” – melt together with the rinsing remix vibe appealing to all strong and often oppressed women.

Razoof is one of the driving artists behind Global Dub. Based in Cologne, Kampala and Formentera, his career as drummer, producer and DJ is influenced by Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, House and Downbeat. Razoof’s records are played by turntable icons like Richard Dorfmeister and Rainer Trüby. In addition he runs his own label Nesta successfully since 2000. Razoof a.k.a. Uwe Lehr worked together with Luciano, Klaus Schulze, Gentleman, Mykal Rose, Lutan Fyah and many more.

Binti.Afrika is the queen of Swahili Dub with heavy Reggae basslines and vibes hailing from Nairobi, Kenya. Her name is a Kiswahili term meaning “Daughter of Africa”. As a social activist, Binti uses her lyrical prowess and soulful voice to uplift female youth. 

Mad Vibes is a veteran of German Drum and Bass. The DJ, producer and mastering engineer runs his own label Sidechain Music with releases by Nymfo, Camo, Digital and others. The production credo of Mad Vibes a.k.a. Tony Calhoun is to keep it simple and close to a dark and dubby sound culture, keep it drum and bass.

Franksen a.k.a. Frank Eckert is a German Breakbeat legend in his own rights known for his seminal show on German FM radio, as a versatile DJ, producer for 14 years and author as well. He is considered one of the leading representatives of German Liquid and Jungle.

With so many big names on the producer side, the bar has been set high – and this single doesn’t disappoint! Anthemic and rising, this tune is guaranteed to set the precedent for the sounds of tomorrow.

Guzi - Stop [Sub-Liminal Recordings] PREMIERE

This Various Artist compilation is curated in support of British Columbia, Canada, which has been affected by Historic flooding across many of the southern parts of the province. This disaster has displaced thousands and has caused ongoing issues with infrastructure in many of its communities, with the risk of more damage on the way.

As creatives, the one thing we can do is use our passion to raise funds for those affected by this disaster. Once the idea was made to step up and curate an album, we were approached by Digital Motion BC who were already sitting on a 12 track LP, that they wished to donate to this project.

 In addition, many local artists have offered their music alongside some heavy-hitting international talents as well.
 This album shows how compassionate our scene is, and we are eternally grateful for all the love and support!

IBOT – DARK MATTERS EP
Form 12250
Release date 6/05/22

Available to stream and download 

1.	iBOT – Mash It Down ft. DJ SS
2.	iBOT – Pulsate
3.	iBOT – Dark Matters
4.	iBOT – Mad Rush

iBOT is a serious force to be reckoned with!  
This 14-year-old Junglist has accumulated an array of successes that include releases on Gorilla Warfare, Storno Beatz and Camo Tribe, as well as winning the Best Male Mix Award at the Up and Comers Awards hosted by Twisted Indulgence. With his tracks being played at more events, iBOT has gained the support from heavyweights such as DJ SS, Ray Keith and Critical Impact, and landed regular shows on Life FM, Kool, Rough Tempo, Code Red, Thames Delta, Bassdrive and Epidemik. Formation Records is proud to present iBOT’s debut EP ‘Dark Matters’.

‘Mash It Down’ featuring DJ SS is a sure-fire success. It demonstrates nostalgic sensibilities and pays homage to the jungle of yesteryear while infusing the flavours of newfound energy. This dancefloor riddim is a proper catchy number.

‘Pulsate’ is a sinister banger from start to finish. The intro effortlessly secretes a cool, understated lure that captures your attention, before leading you into skillfully executed drop that delivers in the deadliest of fashions! 

The titled track ‘Dark Matters’ is not one to be ignored. This menacing dark steppa begins with mysterious, arpeggiating keys paving the way to a perfectly poised roller, punctuated by warping distorted bass and hints of gritty growls.

The final track ‘Mad Rush’ says it all in the name. The ominous introduction comprised of boundless stretches of atmosphere has you anticipating what is to come. After a moment of space, we are faced with a deep, stimulating groove filled with pockets of modulated, well-produced bass and an ever-present drum pattern.
