NEUROFUNK 1 - part 2

We are BACK with the next installment of Future Stars, your go to release series for all your next DnB supertalent needs!!

Filled to the brim with exciting new talent yet untainted by countless, tireless feedback and A&R-ing, these fresh cuts will wow you from start to finish and have you in utter disbelief over how most of these artists have never had a release before in their life.

There's something in here for everybody from soothing liquid sounds to tearout neuro. Definitely check the artists on this release out some more if you dig their respective track.

One only has to think of Sovryn and PRFCT Mandem - both of which I found because of the Future Stars projects - to know some of these artists on here have the potential to go really far really quickly. Happy hunting!

Kaizah & Perplex - When The Drum Rolls

Kronology - Timelapse EP
PreOrder smarturl.it/TECH117
Release date: 29th March 2015

If you’ve been keeping your eye on the Los Angeles D&B scene, then you’ll know all about Slogun and iOh. Hailed as “Ones to Watch” by Kmag in 2013, their deep respect for junglist history and culture has fuelled a steady rise to prominence both as DJs and producers. Now, they’re ready to take the next step, and make their mark on the international scene
as part of the Technique roster.

So, after the warning shot of Razor Sharp on the 15 Years of Technique LP, it’s time to welcome the team now known as Kronology with their first full release.

You & Me kicks off proceedings in an unmistakeably US style. Evolving house keys establish the percussive heart of the track as classic synth tones add a touch of euphoria. Then a rising siren provides a call to action, delivered on by a funk-filled pizzicato bass and ultra-crisp drums. With this one, Kronology manage to balance an effortless, liquid vibe with rolling rhythms that aim straight at the dance floor.

On Submerge, Kronology team up with some fellow Los Angelians, the DJs, live performers and producers Divine Elements. The result is some highly grimy bass and mightily hard drums all topped off with some finely chopped samples. At its core, this track is all about that rhythmic motif in the low-end, an irresistible rave engine which this production supergroup constantly disassemble and re-engineer to keep this fresh from beginning to end.

Then Kronology recruit the singer-songwriter known as Without My Armor, to show a whole new facet to their work. Monster opens into a claustrophobic atmosphere, with dark pads vying for space with the vocals and creating a level of tension that begs for relief. And that relief comes as the bassline and counter-balancing mid-range bursts onto the scene. The contrast between the constricted metal influence that weaves through the track and the open, big-room sound gives this a vibe all of its own.

So Kronology have arrived, and they’ve got some flavours that you might not have heard before. While fully immersed in drum and bass music, they’ve brought their own influences of American EDM, house, punk and metal to work into the formula. Straight out of the San Fernando Valley, here’s something new for the D&B scene, encapsulated in their first release, the Timelapse EP.

TECH 143 – Tantrum Desire – Repeat feat. Coppa (Document One Remix)

Tantrum Desire's 2015 debut album “Diversified” demonstrated the sheer range and depth of music that the TD studio was capable of delivering. With tunes as varied as the gigantic “I Need You Here”, the aggressively percussive “Pump” and the classically lo-fi “Back for Love”, this LP reflected almost every flavour that D&B has to offer.

The project isn't over yet, though. Now, we're being treated to a series of remixes to offer even more twists to the formula. For this instalment, the Document One boys have dissected and reconfigured the Coppa-laced “Repeat”.

The elements of this tune suit Document One's jazzfunk-hip-hop approach to D&B perfectly. A darkly atmospheric intro drops into Coppa's vocals backed by a subtle half-speed beat. We get a moment to get used to nodding our heads to this before things are twisted into hyper-rave-mode with synth-stabs signalling it's time to get set.

Then the grimy warp of the bassline hits, with Document One's signature popping drums and funk energy. Coppa's bars ride over the top, providing extra boosts of percussive energy to keep the dancefloor bubbling. And the old skool breakdown and big build into the second drop means that this is more than just a simple roller, it's got the weight and power to do serious damage in the rave.

This is only round two of the “Diversified” remix series, and already it's clear that there's way more to explore in the Tantrum Desire sound. And with the kind of talent that Technique have on the roster for relick duties, we should expect nothing but fireworks.
