Symm 018 : Boston feat. Solis - Go With Me / The Little Things

Symmetry Recordings is proud to announce this debut release from new signing Boston.  At just 20 years old Boston’s talent for music is evident in this tasteful and exciting single. Hailing from Cardiff, Boston has teamed up with the equally delicious skills of female singer / songwriter Solis for their haunting but uplifting A side track “Go With Me” - A rolling but musical jungle groove, peppered with his own soulful guitar and keyboard licks, performed with Solis’s rich and subtle but moreishly catchy vocal delivery. This track gets stuck in your head, but in a really welcome fashion, like a dream from the night before.

The flip side “The Little Things” - once again highlights Boston’s musical skills bringing a combination of bluesy guitars, filmic pads and well placed vocal licks with a club friendly combo of shaker breaks and rolling reece bass to your ears. Receiving fantastic club reactions and strong Dj support this is definitely an example of how to nail a debut.

Released digitally on Symmetry Recordings October 2014.

As if the original wasn't enough of a killer, Mindscape rounds out the release with a remix of Qo and Nuklear MC's 'Killcode' - a gem from Tales of the Undead LP. Fast, pounding low-end and aggressive, hypnotic vocals from Nuklear make Mindscape's take on 'Killcode' a visceral experience...to say the least.

Drum & bass stalwarts Black Sun Empire are to follow up a trio of recent EPs from The Upbeats, Neonlight and Pythius with the release of ‘Until The World Ends’ - a five-track, collaborative EP with NZ duo State Of Mind. To be released on January 26th via their genre-defining Blackout imprint, it marks an exciting start to 2015.

Lead track ‘Ego’ immediately sets the tone with growling bass lines and punchy synth-stabs that underpin dark, techy atmospherics and vocal loops.

Second track ‘Until The World Ends’ proves once again both acts’ enduring versatility - kicking off with a bass-heavy dubstep tones complimented by vocal duties from State Of Mind’s fellow New Zealander PNC, before

switching to a manic, intelligently structured groove for the remainder.

‘Bad’ opens with progressive percussion and softly-worked synths that move euphorically to a pounding drum break, whilst fourth track ‘Jack Nicholson’, featuring an imitable sample of the man himself, is a bass-fuelled shockwave of a track. Final track.

‘Moonbox’ closes the EP in true Blackout fashion, with signature frenetic beats and firing drums rounding off proceedings in style.

Black Sun Empire have built a reputation for curating their own brand of dark, neurofunk-inspired drum & bass over the past 12 months and this collaboration with long term accomplices State Of Mind - whom released their latest album ‘Eat The Rich’ via the label earlier this year - feeds into the hype surrounding Blackout as the label looks ahead to 2015.

Tracklist: 
01 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind feat. PNC - Until The World Ends 
02 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Bad 
03 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Ego 
04 - Black Sun Empire & State of Mind - Jack Nicholson

Two of the most respected names in the game return to Shogun Audio with the 'Play Fool EP', a heavyweight collaboration that blends deep-rooted musicality with uncompromising club energy.

Built on a foundation of trust and chemistry, Zero T & Fox deliver four precision-crafted tracks that span reggae-influenced grooves, razor-sharp percussion and weighty, sub-driven drum and bass. Previously released singles 'Play Fool' and 'Fantastic' are accompanied by the electrifying 'Move Kinda Different' and stripped-back, yet hard-hitting sounds of 'Final Fight', with Fox’s unmistakable delivery and Zero T’s signature rolling production at the heart of all four tracks. 

Shaped by years of experience across the UK bass music landscape, the 'Play Fool' EP is a record built on heritage, but fully tuned for now.

Lupo - West Indies (Objectiv Remix)

Polar bears are facing a critical challenge as the Arctic sea ice—their essential hunting ground—continues to shrink due to climate change. With less ice, they struggle to find food, leading to declining health and survival rates. As apex predators, polar bears play a vital role in maintaining the balance of the Arctic ecosystem. Their decline is a stark reminder of the urgency to act against global warming and protect fragile environments before it’s too late. We will donate all proceedings from this release to Polar Bears International.

Forbidden Podcast #057 - Genic Guest Mix

Contact: hollis@symmetryrecordings.co.uk

Break Bookings: clive@earth-agency.com
 
Long hours in the studio have lead to releases on Ram, Metalheadz, Shogun, Exit, Critical, Soul:R, Quarantine, Subtitles and a host of others; cementing Break’s reputation as one of drum & bass’ hottest talents. His trusted skills have been reigned in to remix seminal drum & bass classics including Shy FX’s ‘Bambaata’, Die’s ‘Clear Skyz’, Commix’s ‘Talk to Frank’ and Ram Trilogy’s ‘Gridlock’ as well as Bloc Party’s UK top-5 hit ‘The Prayer’.

Equally praised for his DJ skills, Break maintains a consistent touring schedule that sees him playing across the globe on a weekly basis on the stages of the world’s biggest drum & bass institutions; from Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam, Warning, Metalheadz and Hospitality in the UK to the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the breadth of Europe, playing headline shows or back2back sets with the likes of Die, Goldie and Dillinja.

Launching his own label, Symmetry Recordings in 2006, Break honed and polished his sound with each single and released his fist album, also entitled ‘Symmetry’ in 2008. Featuring forays into ambient, dubstep, funk, hip hop, house and soul amongst an arsenal of sure-fire drum & bass, ‘Symmetry’ earned Break an army of new fans from outside the d&b world with tracks picked up by the likes of techno legends Laurent Garnier and Josh Wink. 

Two years later Break has risen the bar further still via his second LP; ‘Resistance’. Featuring collaborations with No U-Turn mastermind Nico, Bristol’s DJ Die, super-duo Calyx & Teebee, DNAudio cohorts Silent Witness and Survival, Shogun Audio’s SpectraSoul and vocalists Kyo and SP:MC, the album offers a glorious journey through the spectrum of Break’s styles and influences and a clear indication of where his talents will lead him next. 

The next chapter for Break is signing new exciting artists to coincide with his own output on the label. Keep a keen eye on Symmetry as this is the label for the real sounds of Drum & Bass, absolutely no compromise.
