All Of The Time

A defining member of the hardcore techno scene in the early nineties and stretching his influence across a range of sub genres, from jungle to house music, there’s not one section of the cultural shifts since then which Nookie hasn’t seeped his influence into. Whether it’s been pivotal moments on imprints such as Labello Blanco, Reinforced, Moving Shadow or Good Looking, he’s proven the span of his creativity with every track he’s released across a plethora of labels. This continues with a brand-new single on Metalheadz, extending across an array of styles and a natural progression from his acclaimed remix of Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’.

Ahead of Nookie's highly anticipated album dropping on Headz imminently, In-Reach are proud to premiere 'Kaeya' the D&B mix.

Manchester's Fox has been a staple at The North Quarter events since the label's inception. We are very happy to unveil his first full length project on the label with Squang Dangs in the Key of Vibes.

His versatility and deep history as an artist now come together in a well rounded album, informed by blue notes, Dub music, MC culture and Fox's vibrant lyrics, both warm and cold. This is the work of a truly gifted artist that's out to command the respect he so clearly deserves.

Rafau Etamski - Little Girl [Premiere]

Buy or stream 'Balance Over Symmetry Remixed' here: Voltage.lnk.to/BalanceOverSymmetryRemixedso

Following up from his widely acclaimed debut solo album on Hospital Records, that marked his tenth year as a solo artist, Voltage returns to the south London drum & bass label with a four-track EP of fresh remixes and VIPs of some of the finest cuts from ‘Balance Over Symmetry’. Originally released in September of 2020, the legacy of the album transcends into 2021 with a dose of extra sonic input from Serum, Waeys and Harriet Jaxxon.

Souped Up label owner and fellow member of the powerhouse supergroup Kings Of The Rollers, Serum steps up to offer his tantalising remix of ‘Natty Love’ featuring the groove inducing vocals of sound system legend Sweetie Irie. Hypnotising steel drums, a pounding bassline and rolling drumwork amalgamate into a straight drum & bass heater.

Dutch native and bubbling talent Waeys is up next as he injects his signature deep and dark sound into Voltage’s ‘Life Of A DJ’ featuring reggae and dancehall superstar Demolition Man known for his skill as a vocalist, producer, MC and sound engineer. With a healthy selection of releases under his belt on scene staple imprints including Critical, Shogun Audio, Blackout Music, Skankandbass and Overview, expect clinical precision and a serious amount of groove.

Quickly rising to the top of the drum & bass ranks, Harriet Jaxxon’s remix of ‘Save Me From Myself’, originally featured on Hospital Records’ 25th anniversary compilation ‘H25PITAL’, includes tearout amens and a vibe-packed wobbling bassline as she continues to make her mark as a top-tier producer and DJ.

Last not but least, Voltage is on VIP duties for the EP’s fourth and final track. Revisiting the sombre album original ‘Endless Dreaming’ featuring the stunning vocals of the Bulgarian Goddess. Voltage demonstrates just one of the many talents he is loved for - being able to inject a fresh lease of life into an already amazing drum & bass anthem. Eerie synth hiss, an 808 distorted to perfection and drums which seamlessly cut through the mix, Voltage pulls it out the bag once again.

With releases on foundational imprints such as Metalheadz, 31 Recordings, RAM, Souped Up and Spearhead to name a few, Voltage’s discography speaks for itself in laying down his decade worth of experience within drum & bass. Support for his productions comes flooding in from a range of influential selectors including Andy C, Hype, Friction, Goldie, Bailey, Hazard and Bryan Gee, it’s safe to say that 10 years of Voltage has been a remarkable decade, and As the UK looks to reopening later this year, expect to find Voltage at a multitude of shows and festivals including hosting his Royal Rumble stage at Hospitality Weekend In The Woods as part of Kings Of The Rollers, as well as their sell-out show at Printworks in November, Parklife, Detonate Festival and more.

Dublin born, London-based Zero T returns to The North Quarter for his third project: “Off Broadway”. Influenced by 70's Jazz-fusion, this six-track affair sees the veteran producer once again show off his effortless diversity. Heavier tracks include noir-soundtrack lead modern jungle cuts Fortune Green and Drama. Lighter, soulful tracks include the New Forms inspired Something Got Me featuring Manchester's Aaliyah Esprit as well as collaborations with KILLSWSH and Steo. As always Zero T knows what it takes to keep a listener interested, a testament to his 20 years plus experience, as he continues to be one of the most prolific artists in Drum & Bass.

Zero T, a pivotal figure in the drum & bass scene for over two decades, unveils his latest endeavour, the "Journey Begins EP", on V Recordings. His career launched with early releases around the turn of the century on legendary labels such as Bassbin and Reinforced Records, setting the stage for a prolific journey through the genre. Over the years, Zero T's discography has flourished with releases on major labels like Metalheadz, Shogun Audio, and The North Quarter, showcasing his broad musical range and steadfast dedication to the craft.

2022 marked the release of his innovative LP, "Kilburn", a collaboration with blind jazz pianist Andre Louis (Onj), exemplifying his skill in merging drum & bass with intricate musical elements. The "Journey Begins EP" continues this narrative, featuring collaborations with V Recordings' very own L-Side, the iconic MC GQ, and a reunion with Onj. This melding of talents underlines Zero T's unique position at the crossroads of classic and contemporary drum & bass sounds, with tracks that are energetic enough for any dance floor, alongside deeper moments that transcend the dance floor.

This is not his first outing on V Recordings, having previously released solo tracks and collaborations on V and Liquid V. However, this new release marks his first solo EP on the label, celebrating Zero T's enduring impact, his musical influences, and continuous innovation within Drum & Bass.

After 15 years working with a huge spectrum of DnB greats, London based Irishman Cian McCann aka Zero T has long since established his place in the scene. From his early days in Dublin with the Bassbin label to working with the likes of Calibre,4 Hero, Klute, Alix Perez, Rockwell and Noisia, he has never stood still. 2008's Cheap Shots LP for Total Science's CIA Records was a high point, with lead track Walk Away bringing vocalist Steo to the worlds attention.

Fierce has been at the forefront of the drum & bass scene since the mid 1990s, starting with his early excursions at No U-Turn from the tender age of 16 to his involvement in some of the scene's seminal musical moments such as 'Alien Girl', 'Locust', 'The End' and 'Tightrope' on prestigious labels including Prototype, Metro, Virus, Ram, BC, DSCi4, DNAudio and 31 Records.  As well as bringing his undoubted skills to the table on the production front, Fierce has long been known as one of the most exciting and energetic DJs around, widely respected by both his peers and drum & bass fans alike. Still harbouring an insatiable love for dubplates and vinyl ahead of MP3s, CDs and USBS, Fierce really is a DJs' DJ, bringing sounds from across the spectrum and uniquely fusing tracks together in the mix to create a new and fresh sound every time.

Fierce and Zero T has become a formidable collaboration of late. The pair work from individual studios throwing ideas back and forth and the results speak for themselves. Bonesmen is classic era Reinforced and Metalheadz all over, brought bang up to date with Fierce’s trademark roll out aesthetic. The AA side- In Circles is takes the same rolling function but on a totally different route, soulful and uplifting but still not compromising what the pair have become known for.

Zero T & Myth - Clash
Former Self EP 
The North Quarter

Irish Drum & Bass veteran Zero T returns to Amsterdam imprint The North Quarter with his “Former Self EP”. Following up from his ambitious multi-genre project “Baby Grand”, Zero T now strips things down to a focused five-track project that manoeuvres through a broad range of styles within Drum & Bass. From his Soulful reinterpretation of Mango x MathMan's “Lonely Night” to the dubbed out weight of “Clash” - with Bristol-based rising producer Myth - this is a well balanced EP that displays Zero T's expansive vision and is a testimony to his growth as a producer and technician.

"I had a number of aims with my second EP for The North Quarter” Zero T explains. “While my first release 'Baby Grand' was an opportunity to explore working in different styles of music and utilising live instrumentation, I wanted this second release to be stripped back to basics: five Drum & Bass tracks that cover the spectrum of what I like within this music. There's two vocal tunes in the classic 'Liquid' style, one tune that could easily be described as Jump Up, a Dub/Jungle influenced track with Myth and finally what I would call a “listening track"; something not necessarily designed for DJs/clubs. If someone wants to know what I stand for, then this release says it all."
