2dB - Check Out The Bounce / Quaalude
iTunes: smarturl.it/TECH118 
Beatport bit.ly/2dBCheckQuaalude
12th April 2015
When the mighty Drumsound and Bassline Smith adopt their 2DB persona you know there’s some serious rave destruction coming. While the label bosses have played
an integral part in the rise of the big-room D&B sound,
they’ve still got their roots in the underground. This raw and gritty guise recently surfaced on the monumental 15 Years of Technique album to deliver the vicious Terrahawk, and now there’s something new for filth-connoisseurs to get their ears around.

As we get into Check Out The Bounce, we’re left in no doubt that this is meant to raise the temperature in the rave. A gangsta staccato synth pattern, undercurrents of squelching bass and an eponymous vocal sample signal that it’s time to step up on the floor. The drop delivers a powerful dose of twisting and fluctuating bass, emphasised by a sparse and insistent beat. This is music to move to, pure and simple.
Quaalude is anything but a sedative. A seductive cloud of atmospheric strings creates a hands-in-the-air vibe, punctured and reshaped by a synth riff in the high end. This riff drives us all the way into the drop of serrated bass, reforming again into part of the rhythm pattern. This track takes sounds on a journey, recontextualising them along the way. And the party is taken along for the ride, effortlessly gliding from laidback to rave-mode.

Here are two more reasons why the 2DB name is an undisputed seal of dancefloor quality. This production team is constantly able to modulate their formula, creating multiple vibes and moods to reinterpret their genre. In short, if it’s 2DB, you know it’s going to be big.

L Plus – Hideout LP (10th March)
Out Now https://Technique.lnk.to/HideoutSo

After our anticipation was pushed to breaking point, it's finally here. Pieces of this album have been circulating for a while now, chalking up support from the likes of Radio 1's Friction, DC Breaks, Tantrum Desire, Crissy Criss, Drumsound & Bassline Smith and a whole host of other heavy hitters. And you wouldn't really expect anything less, given this artist's pedigree. He's been in the game since the late nineties, chalking up some hugely successful releases on some of the biggest labels in drum'n'bass. As a DJ, he's a regular fixture at huge shows in his native Slovakia and beyond. And, since signing exclusively to Technique in 2011, his position as one of the scene's top tier producers, able to flex engineering skill and musicianship in equal measure. So strap in. It's L Plus's debut LP and it's a monster.

The title track, “Hideout”, lays out the blueprint. Never quite predictable, the tune takes us on a quirky journey through unexpected chord patterns and structural experimentation, and that's just in the intro. Make no mistake, though, L Plus hasn't compromised on sheer rave-hyping ability either, the huge build-up is definitely warranted by the weight and power of the drop. And that trend continues. You'll probably already be familiar with cuts like “Creature Must Die” and “Avenger”, which strike that perfect balance between individuality and dancefloor energy.

And that's just the start of what the album has to offer. Take the warm nostalgia of “Battleground” for example. There's real depth of emotion in the classic-synth melodies, delivered in a way you won't have heard before. Then there's “Make You Feel”, a twisted and techy journey through rhythm programming, and the half-speed madness of “Get Ugly”. The one constant feature is that all of these tunes, however expressive or resistant to pigeon-holing, are built to make ravers move.

Of course, this wouldn't be a Technique Recordings album without some heavyweight collaborations. The mighty John B passes through on “Original 80's”, to push some synth-pop and electro flavours to the limit. Muffler joins in on the uncategorisable orchestra-meets-filth of “Cinematic”. Drumsound & Bassline Smith add their spin to the melody and griminess collision of “Jetpack”. Plus the rock-solid mic man Coppa graces “Lock to the Greatest” with his presence to add a whole new facet to the sound.

You'd better believe this just scratches the surface. We all know L Plus's productions have layers to uncover, so this album is going to bear repeated listening as well as heavy rotation in raves and across airwaves. When that's true of every single track on an LP, you know we've got something special on our hands. The anticipation was justified. Check it.
