Yes, it really has been fifteen years since Future Tech (aka Drumsound & Bassline Smith) signalled the beginning of the Technique Recordings odyssey with their eponymous debut collaboration. Since then, the drum and bass sound has spread its tendrils from the dark corners of the underground into the limelight of mainstream appreciation. And Technique has been at the forefront of that evolution all the way. So, here's an LP to show the world exactly what a decade and a half among the top tier of D&B labels sounds like.

Label heads Drumsound & Bassline Smith take pole position, dropping straight into the drama of the Friction-supported “Spring Heel Jack”. Then comes another of Technique's most recognisable acts, Tantrum Desire with the low-down funk of “Shuffle”, followed by another Friction-favourite from the bossmen with “Sputnik”. The big names keep coming throughout the album, as Crissy Criss supplies the VIP of his monumental “Create the Future” and the mighty Digital goes dubbed-out with a remix of “Phantasm”. Plus Drumsound & Bassline Smith's alter-ego 2DB pass through with the highly-grimey “Terrahawk” and L Plus delivers two precision-engineered killers in the form of “Red Planet” and “Going Down”.

Flipping the script, Technique new boys Document One strike from two angles with the laid-back “Jazz Club” and the dirty dancefloor uppercut of “Body Like Wow”. TREi takes us to the big room with “Here & Now”, and the ever-individual MaxNRG shows off his ability to combine energy with melody on “Far Frontiers of Space”. Erb N Dub and Skope recruit Mr Dirty Smirks, MC SMK himself, to bring some typically hard bars to “Pull it Back”. Kronology does what it says on the tin with some “Razor Sharp” technoid-jungle vibes. And Aussie badman Spectrem brings some hands-in-the-air euphoria with “Say Goodbye” and then roughen things up with “The Future”. Infrasonik take the honour of completing the collection with “Bricks Breaking”. And finally, Drumsound & Bassline Smith step back up for a lap of honour with a mix of all the tracks from the LP.PreOrder "15 Years Of Technique" Album

Justin, NxT LvL HYPE aka MC Barrenzemo, started his Drum n Bass journey 24 years ago. His passion for DnB, Hip Hop and Spoken Word poetry fueled his desire to entertain Drum n Bass parties and raves starting in the greater Pittsburgh/Cleveland scene back in the year 2000. Having been surrounded by DJs and DJ Culture, opened doors along the way as a DnB Mc/host. He has rocked events and Drum n Bass sets with some of DnB's heaviest of hitters, such as,  Freaky Flow, Capital J, Mason, D-Star, Trust, Aphrodite, DJ Craze, The 45 Thieves, Vegas of Bad Company, DieselBoy, Ak1200, Phantom 45, DJ Odi, The late great TC Izlam, Bad Syntax, Reid Speed, Machete, Ewun, Kill the Noise, and Evol Intent to name a few. Justin's stateside roots grew strong on the east coast. Having built sturdy bridges with everyone he has performed with over the years.  This has given him an edge over many when it comes to newly released music and events. Nxt LvL HYPE strongly believes that DJs need to keep up with the ever evolving sounds, producers that push the envelope and with platforms like SoundCloud . Look for him to drop mixes on you a few times a month. Respect n Blessings all !!

I've read that the basis for conscious thought is the ability to recall events and feelings from the past and juxtapose them with the present, or "cite" them. I love this idea, and it's the driving force behind my fixation on recording, sampling and manipulating the sounds around me.
