PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Drumsound & Bassline Smith - TECH 100 Retrospective LP

RELEASE DATE: 30th March 2014

PreOrder: smarturl.it/TECH100LP

Currently celebrating one hundred releases with a set of EPs from label bosses Drumsound and Bassline Smith themselves, Technique Recordings has established itself as one of the finest labels in the drum and bass scene over the past decade. Scene legends like Roni Size, J Magik & Wickaman, Friction, DJ SS, Twisted Individual, Crissy Criss, Tantrum Desire, ShockOne and
Youngman have all graced this imprint, and you’ll consistently find the Technique name at the top of genre charts and smashing clubs worldwide. It’s no surprise that this label has assembled a sufficiently heavyweight back catalogue to fill a forty-three track LP with remastered classics and exclusive VIP selections.
Time for a Retrospective.
This album takes you in every direction, covering all wavelengths of the drum and bass spectrum. Drumsound and Bassline Smith, along with their alter-ego 2DB, provide an extensive selection of the tracklisting, backed up by their label’s current international soldiers and a selection of those heavy-hitters who’ve graced the imprint over the years.
So, in the midst of the bombardment from the label bosses, Tantrum Desire pop up with their big-room killers, Crissy Criss & Youngman drop in to grime things up a touch, and Dub Foundation flip things into half-step style. And, to show this is a truly worldwide movement, there are contributions from Ukraine’s MaxNRG, Slovakia’s L Plus, and a couple of combos hailing from down under, Skyver & D Jon and Spectrem & Spillage.
All this and choice cuts from Roni Size, DJ SS, Twisted Individual, Digital, J Majik & Wickaman, plus an appearance from TeeBee on remix duties. No wonder the Technique brand continues to raise its status.
Over the years, and their hundred releases, Drumsound and Bassline Smith’s Technique Recordings have proven themselves to be a monumental institution in the drum and bass scene. Every one of these tracks has graced raves and airwaves worldwide, and while this Retrospective is looking back at the classics, it also promises big things for the next Technique century.

Crissy Criss & Youngman - Kick Snare VIP [Tech 100 Retrospective]

‘Disconnect’ sees BTK and Abstr4ct join forces for a heads-down Drum & Bass workout that’s equal parts dancefloor weapon and mind food. BTK’s trademark surgical beats lock in tight with Abstr4ct’s shadowy atmospherics, rolling out on a bed of heavy bass and crisp, precision breaks. It’s got that warehouse in the early hours feel, dark, tense, and built to rattle ribcages.

But this one’s more than just a rinse-out. There’s a message woven into the grit. ‘Disconnect’ taps into the idea of stepping away from the constant digital hum, shutting off the scroll, and cutting loose from the noise that chips away at your headspace. Every drop feels like a reset button, every breakdown like a breath of fresh air in a world that doesn’t stop shouting.

BTK and Abstr4ct have cooked up a tune that’s primed for sweaty basements and festival rigs, but also sneaks in a little food for thought. Heavy, moody, and with a purpose, this is Drum & Bass with something to say.

Celebrating the sounds of Japan, Viper are proud to present the first ever' Land of the Rising Bass EP'.

Featuring 7 brand new tracks from a variety of Japan’s hottest talent and curated by Futurebound, 'Land of the Rising Bass EP' is packed full of the darkest, dirtiest side of Drum & Bass giving an enviable taste of the club scene in Japan.

Kicking things off, YASUKI & mimiiQ team up for “Chase The Light”, a futuristic record with a funky and pulsing beat that is sure to blow heads clean off.

Next up, DJYOUTH brings a slightly lighter sound to the mix with infectious vocal chops amidst a vibrant soundscape before dropping into pure jump-up infused carnage – “Without You” is as catchy as it is bass face worthy.

Keeping the energy high, Mountain’s “Warn You” is equal parts ominous and enchanting, with a sinister build-up leading to an even more sinister drop. A dancefloor destroyer in every sense, the bar is set incredibly high.

DJ AKi teams up with Yellock on the massive “Destruction & Rebirth”, with mesmerizing vocals drawing the listener in before exploding into a fast-paced, hi-octane drop that will decimate any dancefloor.

Maozon’s “Escape” follows, another dancefloor destroyer made to be played at full blast on the best underground sound systems the world over. The euphoria of classic dancefloor DnB meets a much darker side for another seriously heavyweight tune.

Azumai’s “Guilty Of Murder” then presents a haunting opening, slowly building up in suspense and atmosphere before delivering a sinister sci-fi-esque drop that chills to the core.

Closing out the EP, Seventhrun’s aptly named “Bouncy” delivers blazing, bold energy – a final taste of Japan’s formidable club scene and the perfect end to this hard-hitting release.

With 7 tracks all delivering absolute carnage, 'Land of the Rising Bass EP' is certainly not for the faint of heart. Viper are proud to represent the sounds of our DnB brothers and sisters in Japan and to celebrate the talent of the Viper family the world over!
