Following his versatile Alone With Everybody EP, FD returns to The North Quarter with a stunning 16 track debut album: Better Days.

Dropping as a 2x12" Gatefold LP on the 7th of June and with a 10" Appendix to follow on the 14th, this is truly FD's most focused project, showcasing a range of genres and styles.

(NQ010) FD - Better Days

Metalheadz kicks off a very exciting 2014 with a new team of producers for the label. 

Firstly introducing Mako and DLR who are already starting work on their forthcoming combined Metalheadz album project, alongside we have the fledgling talents of Villem and the elder statesmen of the scene Ant TC1 who in his own right has had a hand in a fair share of memorable releases and himself heads up Dispatch Recordings and Metalheadz.

META015 is project that shows a great depth in the talents of the foursome, it’s a beauty and the beast affair, fantastically executed in the great tradition of Metalheadz.
Kicking off with ‘Hungry For Atmosphere’ this stepper is a perfect set opener, heartfelt strings and keys give way to contorted mids and FXs, whilst the familiar vocal is processed into something altogether more sinister. The track clocks at just over 7 minutes and this says everything of the tracks ambitions, not pandering to anything but its own journey.
Next to step into the ring is ‘A Certain Flavour’ the opposite but yet perfectly paired track to go with the A side. Beginning with a very cinematic introduction it unravels into a growling bass led stepper with staccato drums before switching into a two-step drum work out, tailor made for dancefloors and DJs alike.

A release that we are very happy to kick 2014 off with, welcome to the new breed!

Mako, DLR, Villem & Ant TC1 - Hungry For Atmosphere

Vertical Drop

It's no secret we're big fans of Exit Records here at Data Transmission. Set up by dBridge in 2003, the imprint has - as its motto suggests - stayed true to the craft, releasing some of the most forward-thinking drum & bass of the past decade. That's why when we heard label regular Skeptical would be returning with a 4-tracker this month, we simply had to get in on the action.

In true Skeptical fashion, our Debut Transmission 'Between The Lines' balances the genre's natural exuberance with a penchant for the murkier side of life. Tribalistic drum-work echoes his recent Imperial EP for Exit, with the addition of strings, snarling bass stabs and Collette Warren's husky vocals adding a more 'concrete jungle' vibe, whilst still keeping the track firmly within the heart of darkness. Warren has become something of a staple voice with drum & bass in recent years - working with the likes of Marky, Klute and FD - and it's clear to see why, as she turns out yet another stirring performance.

Stream the track here and head to the Exit Records site from December 11th to pick up a full copy of Skeptical's Outset EP: http://www.exitrecords.co.uk/
