On the 27th February, Scuba will release his third album through Hotflush. Entitled 'Personality' and featuring 11 brand new tracks, it takes in a wealth of genres across contemporary dance music, proving once again Scuba’s place at the cutting edge of the electronic music scene. Preceding his LP will be this single ‘The Hope’; pushing on from the tense atmospherics of previous Scuba material, the single fizzes with claustrophobic bass pressure and menacing narration. Backed by an exclusive non-album cut 'Flash Addict'.

Out today, June 18, Laurent Fintoni's Original Cultures project drops the first official material born of the unique music and visual art events it has hosted in Bologna (IT) and London (UK) since 2009. The Formula is a four-track EP of music written and composed by young Italian producer and multi-instrumentalist Fabrizio ‘B.Kun’ Pollice with drums by Ed ‘HED’ Amati. Together these two form Beat Inc., a project which was first introduced as part of Original Cultures’ 2011 production The Formula - from which the EP take its name. You can purchase the full EP on vinyl or digital from the Original Cultures Bandcamp page at http://originalcultures.bandcamp.com/. And download this slow-n-low remix of the Beat Inc. project from the soulful bass technician and Academy grad Om Unit here. 

Beat Inc. - Just Remember (Om Unit Remix)

Without wanting to patronise anyone, the release of Amit’s new single on Metalheadz offers the perfect opportunity to set the record straight about a few issues. Almost everyone in the bass music scene will know by now the basic history of dubstep, a collective of rogue producers and DJs backlashing against the commercial takeover of UK garage, the dark heart of London’s nightlife scene since the early 2000’s that’s since been converted into a Grammy-winning, radio-friendly genre of its own. 

After dubstep hit the music scene its influence was keenly felt within drum & bass. As half the genre’s most prolific producers dropped what they were doing and started writing at 140bpm, while others began to incorporate the half-time beats and screeching synth lines into their 175bpm productions, creating a new spin-off that began to be called drumstep. But the new generation of drumsteppers, the post-dubstep half-time beat cravers need to know that Amit got there first! 

Since 2002 Amit has been crafting the heaviest half-time drum & bass known to man, releasing his wares on some of the scene’s most renowned labels. Here he continues to develop and own his personal take on this style of drum & bass, offering an evolution of the sound that undoubtedly takes things to an altogether darker place than most producers would dare.

‘Killer Driller’ as one would expect from the title, is a muscle-bound hulk, a behemoth of bass that is intensely brooding. Rani’s vocals do little to lighten the mood, creating a beautifully haunting atmosphere before Amit’s beats hove into view and paranoid raps begin to work into your brain, driving you mad from the inside out. 

‘Colour Blind’ provides beautiful relief with a light, almost reggae-dub beat, melancholy melodies and Rani’s beautiful and emotive vocals that slide across Amit’s slowly drawn bass notes. This is the perfect contrast to the obsessive grind of the A side.

Sawlin's debut EP on Delsin off shoot Ann Aimee went down so well it only made sense to have him craft another. 'Eviment' is that EP, made up of three more deep and subterranean techno cuts that play with plenty of textures.

Title track 'Eviment' is a tortured and paranoid offering that has a nagging vocal stretched out over splashy claps and a foreboding bottom end thud. It's vast and dark, spare and haunting where 'Kretze' is a bigger and bolder track. The analogue percussion and serrated lines all sound old and aged as they mark out a scraping, dystopian vision of a world well away from here.

'Sour Tear' has a more syncopated, techno-funk groove but is still padded out with plenty of dubby undercurrents. Sawlin's percussion sounds are wholly non standard, from clanking metal to twanging strings, everything sounds like a real world sound, which makes his music as arresting as anyone's, despite being made firmly for the techno backroom.

Sawlin - Eviment [ann017]

Having had an incredible year already with singles from D-Bridge, Commix, Jubei & Flowdan, Lenzman and label boss Goldie, Metalheadz go all out with yet another impressive instalment of their ‘Genesis’ EP series. Dropping four heavy tracks, this one will definitely be at the forefront of the D&B elite’s playlists this winter.

First up Mortem delivers ‘Iceberg’ a hauntingly chilly piece of music with echoed vocal snippets, crisp two-stepping breaks, cavernous sound effects and a shifting slab of bass. All the elements combine effortlessly in Mortem’s hands as he crafts each moment with expert precision.

FD kicks down your front door and runs away with your prized possessions as he drops ‘Break & Enter’ – a chunky bass-weight track that sounds immense when played loud. This one will undoubtedly shake the bass bins of any club you care to drop it in.

Next up Prolix shows a slightly deeper side to his sound with winding Reese bass combinations and tight drums that roll endlessly across a grizzling background atmosphere. ‘What You Need’ must be a punch in the gut with Prolix’ sub bass! 

Rounding off the EP come Quadrant & Iris who team up on ‘Anthropocene’. Leading you in with a gentle intro with two step beats and far away pads you’re quickly drawn into a much grimier and heavier world as soon as the bassline drops. 

This is an impeccably produced and expertly hand-picked selection of the best drum & bass around; something you have always come to expect from Metalheadz.
