With further artist success and festival stages across the world, 2014 already stands as a monumental year for RAM Records; now the world’s finest d&b imprint follows the success of Andy C’s Nightlife concept with the launch of the label’s new compilation series, RAMlife. 

Mixed by label stalwarts, Loadstar, RAMlife showcases the very best contemporary releases from RAM, providing a glimpse into the genre’s evolving sounds courtesy of both established figures and the new breed of drum & bass stars that RAM prides itself upon.

RAMlife contains upfront tracks from RAM’s own bassline deviants DC Breaks, as well as the dark and tenacious compositions of Frankee; all names featured serve as an affirmation of the independent label’s ongoing prominence. Opening with the VIP mix of stomping anthem ‘Bomber’, you can expect further exclusive cuts from The Prototypes, D Bridge & Vegas, Dimension, Mind Vortex and Culture Shock, plus remixes from the likes of Audio, Ivy Lab and Prolix; every track pays homage to the original with a signature twist from each remixer.

Loadstar’s debut album ‘Future Perfect’ (released in 2013) won critical props from The Guardian to Mixmag, RWD and DJ Mag, from Hype to High Contrast, MTV to Radio 1 and beyond, and helped propel them across the UK and on international tours that have crossed the planet. Recent single, ‘Stepped Outside’, was further confirmation that they’re one of drum & bass’s real star turns, and their ‘RAMlife’ mix will satiate those fans hungry for ‘Future Perfect’s’ successor.

The Voss & Submetrix - Smuggler [TDB009]

Out Now https://Technique.lnk.to/KronCon


The LA-based production crew formerly known as Slogun and iOh didn't waste any time in establishing themselves as technically and musically adept, with a sound big enough for any arena. The last time we saw them on Technique Recordings, though, was on last year's “Annual” compilation, which saw them step into the shadows with the more minimal, atmospheric, and technoid “Star in a Jar”. So, who can predict what style they'll come with this time?

The darkly melodic opening of “Breathe” draws us into the Kronology soundscape immediately. Variations of synth-pizzicato tones set the vibe, and then that “breathe in, breathe out” dialogue sample is going to plant this one firmly at the centre of your psyche. The drop gives us a masterclass in bassline modulation, as strikes and sweeps ricochet through the frequency range. And, underpinning it all, is the rock solid kick and snare with the subtlest movement of hats and cymbals to keep things driving forward. This has got deejay weapon written all over it.

“Lose Control”, the Consouls collaboration, is a different proposition entirely. Daniel Hunter Jones's vulnerable vocal delivery in the intro swells and ignites as the track builds, rolling beats and stiletto-sharp stabs in the top end pointing the way. And then the drop matches the vocal's progression with the drums. Their faltering staccato is given weight and power by the seething bassline. It's an intimate, restrained piece of music, but dropped at the right moment, it might just be anthem material.

Kronology are clearly taking every opportunity to push the limits of their style further. They're innovating, but always staying rooted in the rave. With dancefloor power at the heart of everything they do, you know they've got a big 2018 coming.

For the third year running, Viper Recordings are teaming up with powerhouse American brands Bassrush/Insomniac to bring you Bassrush 3.0, a massive compilation album celebrating the very best of drum & bass music featuring the hottest D&B talent from North America and beyond, once again bringing you an unmissable selection. Ahead of the full release, Viper and Bassrush are dropping three samplers, the first featuring a remix of one of the label’s iconic tunes, BMotion’s ‘Something Something’, by newcomer Giganti (UK) and a collaborative single from Consouls (US) and Kronology (US), ‘Like That’.  
 
‘Something Something’ has seen massive success across the drum & bass circuits since its original release in 2014 with support from DJ Marky, Friction, Metrik and more. It has also been a consistent favourite of Netsky’s, who recently played the track in front of tens of thousands of people at the prestigious Let It Roll Festival. Now, four years on from the original, the track has been given a fresh new remix from Giganti, taking the record to new heights. Giganti is a talented and exciting new signing to Viper who has caught Futurebound’s attention – and for good reason. 

The flip side of the single comes from American producers Consouls and Kronology. With an original release earlier this year on Bassrush, Viper are proud to release the track as part of this massive compilation. A lush, alluring atmosphere is created right from the start, producing a cinematic quality that draws the listener in before tearing things up with the drop. Perfectly striking the balance between elegant and destructive, ‘Like That’ is as sure a sign as any of the growing strength of the drum & bass scene in North America.

Representing both sides of the globe, these two tracks serve as but a teaser of what is to come from the rest of the compilation. With a total of 15 exclusive tracks, Bassrush 3.0 is set to be one of the biggest releases of 2018 – keep an eye out for Part Two on the 14th September and Part Three on the 21st, with the rest of the album out on 28th September 2018 from Viper Recordings and Bassrush.
