Receptor - Strike for oil (Engage Remix)

Late-night in the studio with Amar y Vivir on repeat. We love Hermanos Gutiérrez, and it felt like the track wanted a bassline + drums—so we got to work. A late-summer vibe we really enjoy—we hope you do, too. Free download — enjoy.

Technique Recordings have got previous when it comes to bringing Central and Eastern European artists to our attention. Now, from Ukraine, it's time to meet Tapolsky & VovKING. The more switched on amongst you will remember them from their intriguing formula-twisting excursions on the Technique “Summer 2017” LP. Now, they're back with a four-track EP and the space to demonstrate exactly what they're all about.

As the opening piano riff of “Running” hands the melody to that heart-wrenching vocal, then onto the fragile Rhodes, it's clear we're witnessing assured musicianship at work. This is DnB, sure, the punch and snap of the kick and snare combining with heavyweight bass. But, there's a loose experimental feel to it that means this tune could just as easily be the product of a live electronica band as studio-bound drum 'n' bass scientists.

And the live feeling continues as we move into “Deep Disco”. Deep, reverberant plucks of bass lay the foundation for keys and layered vocal samples. Then Tapolsky & VovKING deliver us into soulful chord changes and call-and-response patterns. They've even reinterpreted the standard build-drop-breakdown structure of DnB, integrating the form with layout of traditional songwriting. This is uncompromisingly unique, but no less dancefloor orientated for that.

Tapolsky & VovKING go even further down their musical rabbit-hole in “Flame”. As volumes and dynamics modulate in a way you haven't quite heard before, and little tension-building moments of silence appear as sounds fall away, we're drawn deep into these producers' world. It has to be heard to be understood.

The intro of “Cosmic Symmetry” sends us into a whirlpool of influences and styles. There's neo-soul, R&B, maybe even UKG in there, but that quirky live-sounding synth-work takes us somewhere that's not quite any of those things. And, under it all, there's the pulse of bassline and beat that mean that, whatever else it might be, this is very definitely drum 'n' bass music.

Let's be crystal clear. You haven't heard DnB done like this before. Tapolsky & VovKING are coming to the table with influences and ideas that are daring and challenging, but, are also emotive and engaging. They've called this EP “Modern Innovation”, and it's proved itself well worthy of that title.

Own It Now: technique.lnk.to/Summer 2019

Every summer since 2016, Technique Recordings have been bringing us an epically ambitious album project, combining multiple flavours and sub-genres of drum 'n' bass into a perfect soundtrack for the season. And, just glancing down the tracklisting of 2019's instalment, with its blend of battle-hardened veterans and next-to-blow new generation artists, it's clear that we're in for yet another DnB heatwave from Drumsound & Bassline Smith's label.

For one thing, there's the strength in depth. Scene originators like Aquasky and Ellis Dee, the latter making a victorious return to drum 'n' bass after taking some time away, rub shoulders with newcomers like Technique Music Academy student Delphi. Technique regulars like Tantrum Desire and L Plus line up alongside label debutants like Chrizz0r, Mindloader, and MIAVO.

And then there's the music itself. We've already heard the glorious single “Forever” by Smooth, and that beautiful essence of musicality runs through the LP. Tapolsky & VovKING deliver their typically twisted take on summer melodies, we've got atmospheric euphoria from Muffler, and there's the dark-tinged jazz vibe of Gradual's team-up with Deuce & Charger.

But there's more. A Technique Summer album isn't just music for chilling with, it captures those high-energy festival and all-day rave moments too. Tracks like Drumsound & Bassline Smith's “Time to Let Go”, Zeal & Exile's “Seeing Shapes”, and NC-17's “True Grit” add a touch of toughness to the sunlit sounds. Tracks from this album are going to find a place in sets everywhere.

In years to come, this just might just be seen as an era-defining compilation. Undisputed legends sharing a tracklisting with some of the most promising up-and-comers in the scene right now, to deliver a multi-dimensional summer drum 'n' bass experience. Across thirty-eight tracks, there's a whole treasure trove of DnB to discover right here.

Tapolsky & VovKING - I'll Be There (Technique Summer 2019)

Stream / Download: https://fanlink.to/Fayah

Seemingly from outer space, but haling from the Ukraine are the country’s number one dj and drum&bass promotor Tapolsky and his partner-in-crime VovKING, who only a few years ago stepped onto the drum&bass scene with a sound that showcases years of experimentation, is testimony of a deep love for all things electronic and proves they have an unquenchable thirst for sound exploration.

After dropping by class A labels such as Technique Recordings, ProgRAM and Bad Taste, they now grace Rampage Recordings, ahead of their performance at Rampage’s first Open AIr festival this summer. They blessed the label with some trademark sounds that show emotion, dancefloor feel and a kindredship with the techno realm.
