Today we’re lucky enough to be premiering what someone in the office just referred to as a ‘serious nugget.’ Yeah, OK, so that person was me. And yes, I did say it to myself, in my head, after listening to it over and over again; but the fact remains and it is what it is. The Critical Music signed drum & bass producer, Emperor’s'She Said VIP’ – which will be exclusively available from the Critical store this Monday – is superlatively frenetic, heaving it’s way out of the rousing build up introduction with the sort of lurching industrial bassline that’ll set most dancefloors afire. The full Into Black EP will be released on vinyl and digital this coming Monday, but we’re toasting the publication of the EP’s pre-order link here today because it ties in nicely with the fact that we recently announced the next Critical Sound date (10th July) where you’ll be able to witness Emperor going B2B with The Upbeats.

Icicle - Dreadnaught (Phace Remix)[Shogun Audio]

Cognitive Bias

These days, the name L Plus on a release comes laden with expectations. There'll be expansive areas of soundscape harbouring rave-reverberating bass and precision-strike drums. There'll be detailed attention to musicality and a never-lapsing surge of energy. And if you've been checking shows from heavy-hitters like Friction recently, you'll know that this EP delivers on those expectations to the max.

“Jailbreak” is all about controlled aggression. A suspenseful chord pattern interspersed with drive-by shots of bass sets the scene. Then there's a multi-stage drop, first delivering us into a pressurised container of bass and kicks, before a further build leads us to the addition of punch-to-the-solar-plexus snares. This is heavy, heavy, unrelenting stuff.

And talking of heavy stuff, the next track is, aptly enough, “One Tonne of Bass”. A big room intro built from swirling atmospherics and wide sonorous sustained notes shimmers into view. Then the eponymous vocal sample signals a drop down into straight-up head-nodding grimy funk. Then L Plus keeps the heat rising as the bassline modulates to give each sixteen bars a character of its own. This is one to give the dancefloor a proper workout.

Then “Arcade” brings something for ravers to love and producers to envy. The chirps, bleeps and melodic patterns of eighties gaming are recreated and woven into twenty-first synthesis in a way we haven't quite heard before. It's a shoot 'em up between nostalgic stabs and ultra-modern bass and riffs which grows into a full on sonic war, and it's an addictive exultant joy. This is one that screams out to be pulled back and played from the top.

Things are a little darker in the dystopian city conjured up by “Snitch”. There's a technoid paranoia in the air, brought on by an approaching insurgency of low end. The drop provides no relief as sparse beats leave the bassline free to fill the space with interrogation-room oppression. With one eye always on the dancefloor, this is where L Plus proves his mastery of creating mood with music.

This EP proves why L Plus tunes are a constant fixture in the sets of well-informed DJs. Combining a rare technical proficiency with a well-honed musical and storytelling sensibility, plus a ruthless desire to smash parties everywhere, this producer is at the top of his game. This is creative rave music set to blaze on raves and airwaves alike.

Label: Neodigital
Release Date: 19.03.2012
Cat No: NDGTL003

Neodigital is proud to introduce ‘Mefjus’, the unrestrained, Austrian producer who presents us with the third release on this revolutionary, digital only, label. 
Expanding their portfolio in ways others can’t, Far Too Close // Distantia bring nothing but nostalgia to our ears and the dance floor. 

We expected immense things from this label in 2012 and Far Too Close // Distantia doesn’t disappoint. The A side delivers Far Too Close, a profound, techy roller with psychedelic snares and skintight production. Heading up the B side Mefjus provides us with Distantia. Its introduction is layered skin deep with atmospheric synths, which drops into perfectly unconventional funk. 

Neodigtial 003 is set for release on the 19th of March 2012 but expect to hear it tearing up every dance floor until then!
Released by: Neodigital
Release/catalogue number: NDGTL003
Release date: Mar 19, 2012
