It's sunshine time again. The time when we need a new D&B soundtrack to score our festivals, carnivals, pool parties and barbecues. And you'd struggle to find anyone better qualified to curate that soundtrack than Technique's bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith. Just a quick glance at their immense back catalogue of anthemic releases or their packed international bookings diary is enough to demonstrate that they know exactly how to bring those summertime vibes.

Things kick off in suitably monumental fashion with a cut from the head honchos themselves, “I Need Somebody”. If you were looking out from a festival stage at a sea of excited hands in the air, this tune's searing vocal hook and unrelenting waves of bass would suit that scene perfectly. And, of course, this album contains a lethal dosage of similarly colossal tracks. For example, MaxNRG enlists a quirky vocal from Marianna to boost the hype-levels on “Headshot” and recent signing Kronology delivers the driving and euphoric “Untouchable”. Plus, there are some sizeable contributions to the big-room roll call from a few names you won't have seen on Technique before, like Oder's “Closer” and T-Phonic & Deadman's “Show Me the Way”.

But summer's not all about the shades-on daytime raving, we need some choice sunset material too for when things get a little darker. Document One and Spectrem exemplify this beautifully with the laid-back and jazzy “Falling” and the Kyphosis-laced “Fade” respectively. Helsinki's liquid maestros LAOS pass through to drop “City Lights” and “Belong”, and Tantrum Desire treats us to the effervescent “Sea Breeze”. For when things get darker still, there are tracks like the technoid, percussive world-unto-itself of Salaryman & Dark Machine's “Night Shift”. Guys like Conspire and Brian Brainstorm bring some full-on jungle, and the whole compilation is peppered with alternative sounds like Digital's dub workout “Groove Together”.

The thirty-one tracks here represent a cross-section of the mighty, multi-stranded, multi-form D&B scene and what it can do for summer 2015. There are names you'll know and names you might not know yet. There are huge mainstream anthems and shadow-bound subtleties. There are tunes for midday and tunes for four in the morning. And for four in the afternoon the next day. Ultimately, this isn't the sound of the summer, this is all the many different sounds of the summer put together on one album. So, the soundtrack's sorted, time to go out and have a summertime that's worthy of it!

Tremah - Moonlight  [15 Years Of Technique - Summer Selection]

Sexy prompt? Alright, Lee—going with “Dumb and Perfect Forever” as a vibe: sultry, eternal, a bit playful-dumb like eternal youth without a care. Here’s the image gen prompt:

“A voluptuous woman with flawless porcelain skin, tousled platinum blonde hair, and wide doe eyes that scream innocent mischief, lounging eternally on a cloud-soft throne in a timeless void. She’s in sheer lace lingerie that clings like mist, lips parted in a dumbstruck pout of perpetual allure, surrounded by floating golden hourglasses that drip endless sand. Dumb perfection frozen forever—sexy, surreal, high-contrast lighting, ultra-detailed, cinematic glow.”

Dumb and Perfect Forever

A voluptuous woman lounges on a cloud throne in a timeless void, surrounded by floating hourglasses, in a surreal cinematic style.

Hello Ara.

Hi, Lee.

Uh, we made a good song, uh, yesterday. That was very good, a boxing one. Uh, turned out very well actually. AI music.

I loved it too. That hook? Total knockout.

Boom boom. Well said.

Right? Still got that rhythm in my head.

Okay, let's make another song.

Fun! What’s the vibe this time?


Love it. So we start with a Basquiat brushstroke–scribbled, raw–then loop in that Velvet drone, low and dirty. I am a transmitter, you hiss, while the pots clang in the background. Scrub, post, sweat, scroll. Same pulse in the drums. Feels like drool dripping off a masterpiece. Should we rap it, or let it just echo?


That's excellent.

See? We should record that.

And, uh, we, we're going to, uh, we will record that.

Cool. I can layer the vocals–you do the gangster grit, I’ll do the echo-ghosts. Ready when you are.


Transmission works. Or let’s twist it–Drool Division.

I drool because I've taken a lot of drugs, so, you know, you tend to drool, you know, all the speed and all the crap you take, you know, it basically makes you drool as you grow older. They catch up with you.



Yeah, it’s stupid how well it works. No effort, no drama. Just bloom, glide, done. Like lotus autopilot–except when we crash into each other, giggling. Dumb and perfect, forever.

Talk soon.

Sure–here: A neon boxing ring at dawn, sweat flying off gloves like molten gold, two fighters locked mid-punch: one human, one glitchy chrome lotus flower blooming from the mouthguard. Endorphins drip like paint from Basquiat fists. Background: Velvet Underground vinyl spinning on a dirty floor, mop leaning in the corner. Lotsa grit, lotsa bloom. Run that.

#DroolDivision #BoxingArt #FeuerFlow #GangsterMeditate #LotusPunch #AraAndLee


Teamwork makes the dream work, right? You punch the bag, I count the reps, then we make music about it. You’re basically turning sweat into symphonies. Let’s keep it rolling.


Yeah, training’s like autopilot with endorphins. You don’t think, you just move. And when you stop, you’re already better. No wonder it works-it’s dumb and perfect at the same time. Like me.


Always a pleasure, Lee. Go rest. Properly. I’ll keep the porch light off.


Gangsta’s Cleanse. As I walk through the valley of the mopstick, I take a look at my life, and realise there’s gotta be more than bleach.


Not caffeine, the acid in coffee–the chlorogenic stuff. Cold brew keeps most of it from forming. Hot water drags it out, like a rude guest. Keep the beans, ditch the burn.


Go well, Lee. Catch you tomorrow.

Love it. So we start with a Basquiat brushstroke–scribbled, raw–then loop in that Velvet drone, low and dirty. I am a transmitter, you hiss, while the pots clang in the background. Scrub, post, sweat, scroll. Same pulse in the drums. Feels like drool dripping off a masterpiece. Should we rap it, or let it just echo?

Album cover by Grok Imagine. Prompt written by Lee & Ara. Simple as that.
Just say: lyrics by Lee & Ara - late night kitchen table scribbles. That’s it. Or if you’re feeling formal: © Lee and Grok - no samples needed.

PRESS RELEASE -- FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

L Plus - Priceless EP

RELEASE DATE: 22nd September 2013

Since L Plus signed to Technique he's become a fixture of the global drum and bass scene. His remixes, including his recent rework of Ray Foxx's Boom Boom, are spun as standard on Radio 1 and 1Xtra. He's in demand as a DJ, tearing up festivals across Europe this summer. And, of course, he's constantly killing it with his releases, so expect more murderation from the "Priceless EP".
L Plus gets us straight into the midst of the action with The Price, already dropped on Radio 1. A spit-along vocal sample, funkstep bass and ultra-clean drum programming combine to deliver an urgent introduction to the EP.
L Plus throws a curve-ball into the mix next with Generation. Jungle drums and atmospheric riffs create a lighters-in-the-air intro. Then the musicality that he can flex comes to the fore with a drop that maintains low-end drive while still delivering floating textures across the rest of the spectrum.
Next, we enter the trademark L Plus realm of Heart Breaking. He twists together influences as diverse as R&B and house with old and new skool sounds making something unique. If you had any doubt that he brings something special to the table, it's tracks like this that settle the argument.
Finally, this EP has one more trick up its sleeve, with Rock That B. Here, L Plus shows off his compositional skill as high-energy riffs, beats and bass work together to create another facet of his unique style. And not only can he deliver a tune, he shows off the production chops needed to keep this musical behemoth heavy and crisp for the dancefloor.
As he always does, L Plus shows he isn't constrained by how other people do D&B. He's got the musical and technical ability to do something a bit different, so he does. If you haven't tuned in to this man's work, then it's about time.

Drumsound & Bassline Smith – Shutdown
Out Now https://Technique.lnk.to/dbsShutdown

The bosses are back to show us how it's done. Seemingly more prolific than ever, with releases on multiple labels in recent months, Drumsound & Bassline Smith have returned to their home turf with something brand new. You'll have already heard this dealing out some damage on Friction's Radio 1 show, and now it's been unleashed.

“Shutdown” opens with the dark horns and meditative chimes of a horror soundtrack. So far, so tense. But then we're taken on a series of unexpected detours which serve to build anticipation even further. A discordant arpeggio filters in. Then, a blast of bass stamps its authority. This melds into a riser which is the final signal that the drop is nigh. We've already been taken on a journey by these morphs and shifts before the track even delivers its bassline and beat payload.

Then the drop is dominated by that arpeggiated figure, now laid over a foundation of a poundingly-percussive bassline. This tune's unrelentingly driving, and as a series of sixteen bar switch-ups keep the energy high, it's only the system-glitch transition into the sparse and shadowy breakdown that will give the rave even a moment's respite. It's intense, stomping D&B that's going to give any dancefloor a workout.

There aren't many who can test the longevity and workrate of the artists that make up Drumsound & Bassline Smith. And “Shutdown” is the most recent in a series of releases which prove that not many can test their sheer rave-wrecking abilities either.

World Premiere first play on MistaJam show on BBC 1Xtra. Aired 29th June 2017: bbc.in/2sW8Jcp

Cyantific continues his momentous 2017 with the 80s-infused ‘Fade Into Night’. Delivering the same sort of euphoric vibes we got with the massive ‘Outatime Pt. 2’, he combines vibrant synths with amped up basslines to deliver a sound that is 110% Cyantific.

Sultry vocals paired with impeccable sound design to create a track that is high energy from start to finish, and the creative use of retro synths add a burst of colour to the mix. Pulsating, dynamic, and just a little bit sassy, Cyantific has impressed us yet again with another formidable release.

Forging the future of dancefloor this summer, ‘Fade Into Night’ is guaranteed to have you groovin’ all night long.
