Kronology - Timelapse EP
PreOrder smarturl.it/TECH117
Release date: 29th March 2015

If you’ve been keeping your eye on the Los Angeles D&B scene, then you’ll know all about Slogun and iOh. Hailed as “Ones to Watch” by Kmag in 2013, their deep respect for junglist history and culture has fuelled a steady rise to prominence both as DJs and producers. Now, they’re ready to take the next step, and make their mark on the international scene
as part of the Technique roster.

So, after the warning shot of Razor Sharp on the 15 Years of Technique LP, it’s time to welcome the team now known as Kronology with their first full release.

You & Me kicks off proceedings in an unmistakeably US style. Evolving house keys establish the percussive heart of the track as classic synth tones add a touch of euphoria. Then a rising siren provides a call to action, delivered on by a funk-filled pizzicato bass and ultra-crisp drums. With this one, Kronology manage to balance an effortless, liquid vibe with rolling rhythms that aim straight at the dance floor.

On Submerge, Kronology team up with some fellow Los Angelians, the DJs, live performers and producers Divine Elements. The result is some highly grimy bass and mightily hard drums all topped off with some finely chopped samples. At its core, this track is all about that rhythmic motif in the low-end, an irresistible rave engine which this production supergroup constantly disassemble and re-engineer to keep this fresh from beginning to end.

Then Kronology recruit the singer-songwriter known as Without My Armor, to show a whole new facet to their work. Monster opens into a claustrophobic atmosphere, with dark pads vying for space with the vocals and creating a level of tension that begs for relief. And that relief comes as the bassline and counter-balancing mid-range bursts onto the scene. The contrast between the constricted metal influence that weaves through the track and the open, big-room sound gives this a vibe all of its own.

So Kronology have arrived, and they’ve got some flavours that you might not have heard before. While fully immersed in drum and bass music, they’ve brought their own influences of American EDM, house, punk and metal to work into the formula. Straight out of the San Fernando Valley, here’s something new for the D&B scene, encapsulated in their first release, the Timelapse EP.

L Plus – Timelapse / Creature Must Die 
Out Now: Stream / Buy https://Technique.lnk.to/LplusTC


It takes a certain kind of artist to make a successful album. It's a different prospect from a series of two- or four-track releases. In D&B, it takes a producer whose got a deep musical understanding and a many facets to their style so they can reconfigure to constantly hold our attention. It takes a producer who's got a story to tell and a journey through which to guide their listeners. Anyone who's been keeping up with L Plus's work over the last few years will recognise that he's one artist who fits that description precisely.

So, here's the first taste of his forthcoming debut album, “Hideout”.

“Timelapse” takes us straight into IMAX mode. The wide-open panorama conjured up by the atmospherics and the expanding percussive hits at the beginning of the track set the scene. The build keeps things crisp and clear, with L Plus showing how to create anticipation out of just a few expertly-programmed elements. And then the rowdy stomping drop, featuring immense grinding sweeps of bass, delivers on that build perfectly. And, of course, things don't stop there. You're going to want to let this one run right to the end, to take in the full majesty of the visceral deconstruction of the tune in the extended outro.

Then, we enter a twisted world of B-movie sci-fi with “Creature Must Die”. Dissonant pads and reverberant drums back up the eponymous dialogue sample in the intro, building to a stripped-back robot funk bass drop. This is far from being everything that L Plus has to offer in this track, though. The deftly executed builds and riffs, deploying discord to powerfully tension-increasing effect, bind the track together creating a wave of movement which belies the deceptively simple beat and bassline pattern. This is a stepper which is sure to find a home in the arsenal of many discerning selectors.

Ever since L Plus landed on Technique Recordings he's been consistently impressive. Connoisseurs will have detected the subtle musical brain at work even in his most rhythm-driven floor-fillers. And, those same connoisseurs will already be getting hyped for “Hideout”. As this first salvo demonstrates, it's going to be something monumental.

Jade, one of the primary architects of the neurofunk sound, presents the latest release on his distinguished imprint Eatbrain;
Telekinesis – The Nightwalkers EP. Telekinesis - the highly praised Slovenian duo consisting of Smooth and Markoman - joins an already drool-worthy roster of neurofunk talent on Eatbrain, further solidifying the label’s reputation as a stalwart of quality drum and bass. And with names like Concord Dawn and MC Coppa in the equation, the 6th release on Eatbrain stands out as a must-own for any neurofunk head.

Nightwalkers EP kicks off with an dynamic collaboration between Telekinesis and Coppa, the Berlin-based MC who's collaborations with Prolix and Mindscape made enormous waves within the drum and bass scene in 2012. Telekinesis’s knack for atmosphere comes into full effect at the outset before Coppa's infectious rhymes take hold, winding things up into an irresistible drop. Still possessing the same raw ferocity that Telekinesis has become known for, 'Pocket Full Of Drops' takes their sound into playful territory. Combining their dirty signature bass, cleanly constructed drums, and Coppa's clever lyricism, 'Pocket Full of Drops' a true mood-lifter bound to crush any dancefloor it touches. Good vibes, plain and simple. 

Next up, New Zealand badboy Concord Dawn features on the EP's eponymous track, 'Nightwalkers.' Opening with an optimistic-sounding concoction of warm pads, a light drum break, and shimmering synth arpeggios, the melody soon takes a darker turn as the full-moon comes out and the dead begin to rise. By the time the tune drops, it's too late - you've already been bitten by Telekinesis and Concord Dawn's monstrous musical creation, and there is no hope for you. One thing is certain; 'Nightwalkers' is a hauntingly contagious track capable of turning an otherwise normal human into a mindless dancing abomination. Beware.

The EP's third track, 'Lich,' promises to slay crowds with its upbeat neurofunk vibes. Clean drums, spirited keys, and a dirty yet carefully polished bassline make this energetic roller a dangerous piece of ammunition. Nightwalkers EP wraps up with a truly fun yet complex exercise in future funk, 'She Wants To Skate'. A tune made purely for the dancefloor, 'She Wants To Skate' jumps right into things with tight, lively drums and an uplifting synth riff. Telekinesis's trademark bass warms itself up, before ripping into full swing at the drop, twisting and turning throughout the track amidst a catchy chopped up vocal. 'She Wants To Skate' is a particularly infectious joint, bound to get bodies moving and put smiles on faces.

DJ Support includes... Teebee, Phace, Bad Comany, Black Sun Empire, Crissy Criss, Jade, Dirtyphonics, Maztek, Basher, Trei, John B, Treo, Mind Vortex, Logistics, No Money, Empress, Drumsound, Culture Shock, Bailey, AMC, Mob Tactics, Nymfo, Chris SU, Matrix, Task Horizon, AK1200, Syncopix, Doc Scott, Optiv, Rido, Cause4Concern, Zardonic, The Risky, Aeph.

Telekinesis - She Wants To Skate [EATBRAIN006-D]

Buy/stream: fanlink.to/VPR205

Following what has already been a hugely successful year for the mysterious producer, Giganti returns to home label Viper with yet another quality record to add to his increasingly impressive resume with ‘The Kraken’. Although little is known about the producer, recent releases like ‘Olympa’, ‘Danger Mouse’, ‘MAD’ featured on Bassrush 4.0, plus remixes for Beat Assassins’ ‘Home Grown’ and Chris Martin & Kanye’s ‘Homecoming’, the one thing that is certain is that Giganti has got a knack for producing dancefloor bangers, earning support from the scene’s most praised DJs and tastemakers already.
‘The Kraken’ opens on an instantly suspenseful note, with elements of a haunted lullaby building a sense of dread and anticipation. Ominous and foreboding, an eerie vocal paves the way for a healthy dose of Giganti’s signature growling bass, resounding out the speakers with criminal intent. Loud, bold, and unapologetic, the unique sound Giganti is forging for himself is evident throughout.
With such an impressive hotstreak in 2020 already, Giganti has turned more than a few heads in the scene, and with good reason. Showing no signs of slowing down, ‘The Kraken’ is yet another strong indicator of his innate skill and why it was only fit Giganti found a home on the mighty Viper Recordings.
