After the storming success of Fracture's outing on METHXX02 Friske quickly follows up with both tracks “Covert” & “Venture” on METHXX03 

“Covert” kicks things off with a deep excursion that cleverly steps its way through the unknown, a precise juxtaposition of effects and haunting stabs that swell in balanced unison throughout an ever-evolving arrangement. The A side is nothing short of the highest calibre of drum and bass music and the perfect addition to the METHXX catalogue.

The flipside sees Friske bring some smoother vibes to the forefront with “Venture” The B Side cleverly meanders with effortless ease through intricate melodies against a backdrop of smooth evolving pads, creating the perfect canvas for the foreground of perfectly weighted drums and exactly the right weight of B-line bounce to keep things moving.

Overall the whole 12” exemplifies Friske’s highly accomplished production prowess with a release that has the Metalheadz signature stamped all over it and once again all finished off in the hugely desirable and collectable METHXX packaging 

Another stunning Metalheadz Ltd outing for 2013 and another slice of Metalheadz Future History.

Chroma - Grindhouse / If You Only Knew 

‘Gindhouse’ succinctly shows why the boys are in such high demand; imagine zooming down a long tunnel carved deep into a mountain made purely of bass. Lights flickering past flashing in the corner of your eyes, one dedicated direction, no obstacles – just pure hyper-speed clarity. 

Nitro-boosted breakbeats, precision engineered bass droning with mass power, dipping and rising subtly raising every possible hair on your neck. Savage yet suave, ‘Gindhouse’ surges with every timeless rave nuance you can imagine. Trust us: this will sound just as heavy in 20 or 50 year’s time as it does now. 

‘If You Only Knew’ plays the perfect foil. Deeper and more soulful but just as powerful, it instantly engages with dreamy piano flurries and tight rolling percussion. A flicker of a yearning vocal follows before we’re suddenly enveloped by undiluted sub bass, humming with low-end luxury. 

And so we continue… The sub develops a confident growl while very subtle synth elements make themselves known on the fills and poignant, emotive pads ease their way into the blend. A quintessential roller, this promises to take your floor far, far away to places they didn’t know existed. 

Showcasing two wholly different sides to their repertoire, this is Chroma’s most accomplished release so far. It’s time, once again, to get with the Program.


Chroma - If You Only Knew #Program

Order from http://bit.ly/METHXX04

Methxx04 takes an international direction and sees the Metalheadz debuts of  ArpXP & Reza hailing from Italy and Poland respectively.

"Unknown Feeling" by Reza is a dubbed out minimal journey into drum and bass. Melancholy chords combine with snippets of vocal and a sparse break, which are all underpinned by the weightiest of basslines. With two tracks of this quality it's no wonder this release is a double A side.

Collectively the two tracks make for a killer release - yet another gem in the much sought after METHXX catalogue

Reza - Unknown Feelings

The wait is over, we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.

Jubei’s first L.P "To Have & Have Not" released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene. "To Have & Have Not" delivers exactly what you would expect – the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum & bass / dubstep within its purest and most credible form. 

There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft. It's not music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point "To Have & Have Not" from start to finish keeps it's roots set firmly in the music’s underground foundation. 

The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei’s incredible versatility with tracks that traverse & transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease. 

Each composition is within its own right a standout highlight. The track list includes a ridiculous amount of jaw-dropping collaborative talent. Credits for example see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP’s massive follow up to past release "Say Nothing" entitled "The Moment". "State of the Art" flips the script at 170+ with SP:MC on vocal duties.  Further co production credits on the album bring Jubei together the forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name a few.

Albums like this don’t come along every day and whilst some artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a select few can originate whilst continuing to cross boundaries so consistently. 

Thanks for listening.

Homemade Weapons 'Kintaro' // Out now on the 'Kintaro' EP

Terabyte Records are back with another set of tidy rollers dredged from the dark side of Britain’s burgeoning D&B scene. Staying true to their maxim of hard minimal beats produced by fledgling talent, the boys at Terabyte HQ are proud to announce their ninth instalment, ‘Tense / Waiting’, supplied by Southampton’s Kush T. As one of that new breed of producers fusing ice cold production with real flair for the deep and interesting, Kush T proves here that he’s got what it takes to play with the big boys; he would surprise nobody if he arrived at the Metalheadz camp in the future.

The A-side, ‘Tense’, is moody and minimal, and represents the future sound of DnB. Tense leaves you in no doubt where it got its name; the opening warcry sets the tone for his release (and maybe even career). The intro is pressure personified, replete with hollow, empty pads, a low, menacing vocal and drums that rattle gently, like trees creaking at the coming storm, and drops like the opening of the heavens. The vicious drums stamp on top of a harsh metallic bassline that rolls into a switch up that’d make a priest cry. Couple that with the pithy, laconic vocals of Serge, and you’ll soon realise this tune is very naughty indeed.

Where ‘Tense’ really embodies the murky darkness, ‘Waiting’ stands outside in the light. While no less intricate than it’s predecessor, it’s got an edge that’ll appeal to the thinkers out there. As a tune, it rises through a dreamy, synthetic start to climb out, fully formed into a leftfield, halftime weapon designed for home systems and club rigs alike. 

After a brief hiatus over the summer, Terabyte Records are back to what they do best, plucking young producers from relative obscurity, and delivering them onto the big stage; Tephra & Arkoze’s recent success on Basher’s Proximity Recordings is the epitome of Terabyte’s efforts. Proving that sometimes, bigger isn’t better, ‘Tense’ and ‘Waiting’ are serious additions to the growing Terabyte catalogue and a sign of things to come in the winter months. Enjoy.

Supporters of Terabyte: Doc Scott, Chris SU, Mob Tacts, DBR UK, Basher, Loko, LSB, Pennygiles, Kollectiv, Stunna, Stanza, N3gus, Muffler, Danny Wheeler, Loz Contreras, Collusus, Onset, DJ Mag, Rood FM, Dusk FM and many more!

The Arc Light EP
Silent Witness


Having graced us with so much great music in the past, it might be surprising to find that this is Silent Witness’s first ever solo artist EP on Dispatch Recordings. We proudly present “The Arc Light EP”, featuring four superbly-crafted tracks that confidently cover a broad spectrum of musical bases, styles and sounds at 170bpm and upward.

Instantly recognized by its distinctive sirens the title track “Arc Light” is defined by surging low ends that swarm through with undulating fervor. Marked by mystery but never devoid of musicality, the EP keeps you guessing at every turn and the angelic chants in “Lost” are a testament to this, shrouded in techy gurgles and spiraling bass refractions. 

Whilst experimenting with every track, the EP still manages to maintain that signature Silent Witness sound we’ve come to know and love. With fresh, tightly constructed drums, “FMB” offers both subtlety and class, with space for funk to casually seep through and the EP comes to an emphatic close with the vibrant melodies of “Aura” completing the circuit. 

DJ support so far from: DLR, Break, Klute, DJ Marky, Ant TC1, Cern, Prolix, Optiv & BTK, Survival, Doc Scott, Ulterior Motive, Enei, Rene La Vice, Skeptical, Nymfo, EBK, John B, Ray Keith, Mako, Chris SU, Amoss, Hydro, Gerra & Stone

Absolutely tearing drum &amp; bass coming from Modulations this month! Certainly the hardest piece to come on Critical’s sister label so far and from an artist that not many will have heard of yet...all that could be about to change though; all hail the new, Emperor.
Someone call an ambulance....‘Monolith’ is too sick!! Dream inducing atmospherics introduce this one, lulling us as the break builds up from the back of the mix into a climatic drop of spine-shattering beats and the most horrid stabbing riff. Glorious, techy drum &amp; bass that has seen Critical’s Fabric events going crazy over the past few months. Essential.
‘Tension’ then takes us further into the rabbit hole, intro’ing with more eerie pads and simple hi-hats paving the way. Then wait for it......and things kick almightily into gear for a fresh roll- out of dynamite b-lines and crunching drums that’ll have the stepping crew marching as one across the land. Original, up and coming talent straight from the Critical crew.....Emperor.
DJ support from Andy C, Friction, Kasra, Cyantific, Wilkinson, Rockwell and many more.

Emperor - Tension - MODULE012

Many of you will remember the sound of drum & bass circa 2001. For some a golden era of a genre which had recently grown from a British institution into an immense global movement cutting swathes through clubs and festivals the world over. That year saw Manchester’s Future Cut break through with arguably their most memorable and haunting release to date.

Metalheadz catalogue number METH040 was released in the summer of 2001 to the thunderous rush of DJs clamouring for white label promos and the sound of crowds losing themselves whenever it was dropped. The A side, of course, being Future Cut’s ‘Obsession’ – a track oozing with classic Metalheadz hallmarks and overlaid with Jenna G’s infectious vocals. 

Fast forward to 2012 and Metalheadz are preparing to unleash a stunning reworking of this stone cold classic. Set to be released as a limited edition one-sided picture disc vinyl on Metalheadz’ Razor’s Edge offshoot, the Ulterior Motive remix of ‘Obsession’ will undoubtedly bring this beautiful piece of drum & bass to a modern audience.

Ulterior Motive, turn in a respectful and hard-hitting remix that pays homage to Future Cut’s original musical vision while adding enough punch for modern dance floors.

Haunting Headz pads pave the way for Jenna G’s luscious vocal which envelopes you, drawing you in before Ulterior Motive batter your senses with waves of crisp, rolling breakbeats, pounding bass notes and grinding synth stabs. Fans of the original will not be disappointed as Ulterior Motive retain all the signature sound of the original while bringing their own fresh style into the mix.
