Earl Grey + Dr...um - Militant (Relapse Remix)

FOR THOSE THAT THOUGHT I HAD STOPPED THE AMEN

DUB-ONE - WARRIOR DREAD

To round out this release the Dutch duo deliver “Azul”. This one features quite a fresh drum sound, not quite like what you'd normally associate with Drum & Bass / Drumfunk but maybe what you'd associate with Radiohead or some other more “traditional” band, seeing as the room acoustics are quite evident on the drum hits. It's another piece delivered with much feeling - key loops and wistful pads evolve with an ultra resonant sub bass to make this one a real tear jerker. The sound of subtlety? No doubt!

Infest & Quasi - Azul:: SUBTLE019 12" Vinyl

“Does It Float” sees Infest slowing down the tempo - this one runs at around 160bpm, making it perfect material to spice up an oldskool atmospheric style set. Bird twittering's and synth pads intro a beat that flits and flutters while an 808 bass booms steadily. Guitar features again with some emotive strumming (recorded by Infest himself), giving way to some whispering female refrains. The breakdown that follows is a thing of beauty. A looping guitar and a fresh pad sound are layered over the original 6-string motif and when the breaks return it really sets it all off! Beautiful Drum & Bass.

Infest - Does It Float:: SUBTLE019 12" Vinyl

Infest & Quasi are our guides on a tumultuous trip through a world of deftly chopped breakbeats, deep basslines and heavenly atmospherics on their debut release for Subtle Audio. “More Out Of Life” is a captivating journey in itself. Bright washes of sound wrap around rolling Soul Pride breaks interspersed with snatches of Apache and Plastic Jam. A sustained bass purr cradles the other elements but sometimes revs up to inject momentum. The mix calms and then enters a serene breakdown ... “Ugh” ! The James Brown-esque groan introduces a much more lively and intensely chopped apache section which soon gives way to a heavier “Tighten Up” rhythm and poignant, reverberated guitar plucks. The guitar progresses and combines with previously heard atmospheric elements and processed Apache licks in what is a masterful arrangement of up and down, ebb and flow throughout.

Mecca & Code - SUBTLE020 
A. "In Cold Blood"
AA. "Ice World"

Irish D&B / Breakbeat ambassadors Mecca & Code team up for the 20th 12" single release on Subtle Audio in this, the labels 10th year of operation.  

"In Cold Blood" has been anticipated for quite awhile with a prototype version finished as many as 5 years ago - it finally sees the light of day with a new mix which adds several extra leagues of depth to an already deep and dark bassline! The anguished dialogue and eerie atmospherics add to the mood, while the tech-y drumfunk style percussives hold everything together, despite the many switches and sections throughout. It was certainly worth the wait ! 

The flipside "Ice World" sees the pair tackle the under-used "Worm" break for an epic journey through icey terrains. There's a constant ebb and flow to the arrangement here, with surprises around every corner. "White on white world... no sound!"

Falhaber - LD50 (Kenny Campbell's Bare Bones Remix)

The 12th Variance goes to a long time friend and immense producer Gunjack, rarely do we hear techno like this from him these days, so its a release to behold (and purchase to encourage him to get to his roots). Gunjack aka Brian Gibbs has been producing electronic music for over 15 year, currently his main focus is on Juke/Footwork scene with his imprint Repotrax. Despite this focus, he took a break out of his hectic schedule (including a recent appearance on Boiler Room), to make these thee wonderful and varied techno tracks, oldscool, and jacking just how we all remember Gunjack. On remix duties we have the ever entertaining Mael with a blinding remix that will have you take a drink just to spit it out at ow good this is. Also SKiN he has fettered on our last free va and is well due a release on Variance, expect to hear sme originals from him soon, his remix is the definition of fitly techno. Lastly, but not least, label boss Scenedrone did a mix just to make it an even number, but seriously Luke and Brian go back a long way last time he remixed him on Gobmacked so Scenedrone has done a number in return.
