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.

styl: dnb, experimental
played since: 2006

------------------------------

DJ Ozone is the founder and promoter of the Poison Apple project, member of DNB Fever crew, well known organizer of social events and above all an experienced DJ. 

The history of his activities dates back to the year 2000. In 2002 he and his friends had founded a small tekkno-dnb soundsystem called RMS. Shortly afterwards they joined a welll settled Prague's tekkno soundsystem Tsunami. After a bit more than a year had the beauty of many legal and illegal parties disappeared and Ozone has left the field of tekkno music. 

A short cooperation with UHV crew based in Olomouc had brought him closer to DJing, but still he didn't feel that to be exactly what he wanted. Thanks to his friends and heartful approach to music he received an undeniable membership offer in a legendary Eastek crew (DJs Wintermute, Phakey, Kauer, Jooky, MKS) in the year 2006-2007. SInce then he had been fully involved in DJing and event management for the Eastek crew. 

In 2008 he left Eastek to becom a solo DJ and created his own brand, Poison Apple which he promotes all over the Czech Republic till now. Since 2010 he is also a member of Prague's DNB Fever crew. 

His DJing skills and creativity have brought him to play on the biggest drumandbass festivals and parties in Czech Republic. To name some it was Let It Roll 2009, legendary Techstep Open Air, Basshysteria, Hrachovce, Bassdetonation, Bassindection, Culture Shock, Smach&Grab It! and unforgettable Eastek parties Planet Breakz. He prefers harder subgenres of drumandbass like neurofunk, darkside or techstep with elemtns of techno. However lately he goes with the stream of deep and minimal drumandbass, nu-disco and experimental subgenres of electronic music. 

He has played on many prestigious events besides world-known musicians like Andy-C, Bad Company, LTJ Bukem, Ed Rush, Optical, Chase & Status, Noisia, Hedj, Audio, Congo Natty, Cyantific, Commix, Calyx, Spectrasoul, Temper D, Black Sun Empire, Ray Keith, N-Phonix, Metrik, Robot Death Squad, Blal, Felon, Rips, Maddog, Frenchi, Grooveside Project Live, B-Complex, Hybris, Skeptical and others.

Ozone

styl: dnb, experimental, nu-disco
hraje od roku: 2006

Zakladatel a propagátor projektu Poison Apple, člen pražského seskupení DnB Fever, letitý organizátor společensko-zábavných akcí a především zkušený DJ.

Historie a počátky jeho aktivit sahájí až do roku 2000. V roce 2002 založili s přáteli malý tekkno-dnb soundsystém RMS. Brzy na to se RMS spojili se zajetým pražským tekkno soundsystémem Tsunami. Po více než roce legálních a ilegálních akcí /kaleb/ napříč ČR ho kouzlo tekkna opustilo.

Chvilková spolupráce s olomouckým crew UHV ho posunula blíže k DJingu, ale stále ho nenaplňovala. Díky přátelství a zdravému přístupu mu bylo posléze nabídnuto členství v legendární bandě Eastek /Wintermute, Phakey, Kauer, Jooky, MKS/ v roce 2006-2007. Od té doby se naplno věnoval DJingu a organizování večerů s Eastek crew.

V roce 2008 se stává sólo DJem a pod svou značkou Poison Apple začíná hrát po celé České republice. Nyní je aktivní člen projektu Poison Apple a DnB Fever Crew.

Kvalita a kreativita tohoto individualisty pečetí hraní na dnb festivalu Let It Roll 2009, legendárním Techstep Open Airu, Basshysterii, Hrachovce, akcích jako jsou Bassdetonation, Bassinfection, Culture Shock, Smash&Grab It!, nezapomenutelných večerů Eastek Planet Breakz ajn. Jeho oblibou jsou stále tvrdší odnože drumandbassu jako je neurofunk, darkside či techstep s prvky techna. Poslední dobou se ale nejraději zaměřuje na deepovo-minimálový drumandbass, nu-disco a experimentální odnože elektronické scény.

Účinkoval na prestižních akcích, kde zahráli např. jména jako je: Andy C, Bad Company, LTJ Bukem, Ed Rush, Optical, Chase & Status, Noisia, Hedj, Audio, Congo Natty, Cyantific, Commix, Calyx, Spectrasoul, Temper D, Black Sun Empire, Ray Keith, N-Phonix, Metrik, Robot Death Squad, Blal, Felon, Rips, Maddog, Frenchi, Grooveside Project Live, B-Complex, Hybris, Skeptical aj.
