DC Breaks
1: Lock In 2: Shakedown  

Unstoppable: that's the only way to describe DC Breaks right now. 

2013 was an insanely big year for DC Breaks outings on Ram Records as the likes of 'Swag' dominated the Beatport number one for nine weeks and other heavyweight cuts scored support from DJs in every corner and continent. 

2014 looks set to continue the onslaught. And it starts right here with 'Lock In / Shakedown', a dynamite double header designed purely for total dancefloor obliteration. Get to know:

'Lock In' kicks off with serious intent: a sharp, clipped riff and trembling, emotive pads set the dramatic scene before we're hurled into a thick bass fray. The low end roars and stretches as DC Breaks trademark drum science surges through the mix. And with additional breakbeats peppering the fills with chop-slapping cymbal splashes and chest-pressing double-kicks, an intense dynamic is maintained throughout. Handle with care... This one's dangerous.

'Shakedown' upholds the Bristol/London duo's menacing message as we're instantly sucker-punched with nagging middy notes, subtle bass tears and a pensive build-up. Before we know it, we're surrounded in a swarm of basses, each one soaring and sneering, buzzing and biting, vying for our full focus. As a cool tape-stop effect to introduce us to the breakdown, the rebuild and second drop live up to the track title in every way: this is guaranteed to shake your dancefloor so hard it's pretty much criminal. 

Two huge cuts from one truly unstoppable act. DC Breaks are genuinely smashing it right now. And they're smashing it strictly on Ram Records.

While The Upbeats may explain their choice of album title with the humble statement “We’re not super tech geeks, we’ve always felt our approach to production is quite simple.” Anyone who knows anything about this duo’s music can tell you that the end results sound far from primitive. The cheeky-grinned New Zealanders have filled dance floors and iPod playlists around the world with their unique take on drum & bass for nearly a decade, yet their music is sounding fresher than ever; as their impressive new album is about to prove.

‘Primitive Technique’ is an album that caters to many but compromises for no one, and with techniques that may be primitive The Upbeats have crafted an album that sounds undeniably modern.

The Upbeats’ unique and organic take on 170bpm+ bass music has seen them make their home in the highest echelons of dance music worldwide. Known for their organic and natural sounding drums, The Upbeats are a pillar in the DNB community. The duo have collaborated with stalwarts such as Noisia, Shapeshifter Bad Company,Foreign Beggars, Mara TK, and Mefjus to name a few. In September 2014, their collaborative EP with Shapeshifter, ‘Bloodstream’, reached no.1 in the NZ iTunes Charts 2 days after being released.

They have released on major dnb labels including RAM Records, Virus, Blackout and Vision Recordings along with remixing heavy weights such as Ed Rush & Optical, Black Sun Empire, Noisia, andBad Company. Their album ‘Beyond Reality’ released on Vision records in 2013 propelled them to the highest ranks of drum and bass globally. 2014 saw them remix Submotion Orchestra’s single, ‘Trust Lust’, for Counter Records/Ninja Tune which was widely praised inside and outside of the dnb world. In August 2015, they released a new collaborative EP, ‘Dead Limit’ with Noisia, which turned the entire scene on its head. The title track won them best track at the DNB Arena Awards and quickly became a modern classic. It is almost impossible to go to a rave and not hear the track being played multiple times during a night. Over 2016, they released the first two segments of their latest album ‘De-Evolution’. The final segment, Part III, was  released in Q1 of 2017 to much acclaim. In September 2017, the highly anticipated Re-Evolution (the remix package featuring Black Sun Empire, Emperor, Malux, Memtrix, Annix and Aggressor Bunx) was released. Now, in November 2017, The Upbeats have released their first 4 track EP with Critical Music - the PUNKS EP. It has received heavy rotation from all of their peers, and has been played numerous times on BBC Radio 1, and has also seen them do a 2 hour special for Critical Music on Rinse FM. 

2018 saw them release a 4 track EP (The Pack) with fellow New Zealanders ‘Truth’. The EP sat at the top of the Beatport charts for many weeks. It also saw a resulting tour of Australia and New Zealand where 90% of the 18 shows sold out. The Upbeats have also just released another EP on Critical Music, which has found rotation on BBC Radio 1. The Upbeats have now also had repeated Summer residencies on New Zealand’s own George FM. 2018 saw them release the first 2 releases in the series of their highly anticipated ‘No Sleep ’Til’ EP. They travelled to Japan and Iceland with a bunch of the most respected artists in drum and bass (Noisia, Culture Shock, Halogenix, Emperor), and also worked with Goth Trad and the highly respected DJ Kentaro in Tokyo where they were guests of the Red Bull Studio there. The release is out on the 7th September 2018. 2019 has already been a big year with the release of AA side ‘Sweeper / Disorder and a ‘No Sleep Til… New Zealand’ in the pipeline.

Clocking up over a hundred shows a year The Upbeats have played at major festivals worldwide including EDC (Vegas), Pukkelpop (Belgium), Urban Art Forms (Vienna), Supersonic (India), Exit Festival (Serbia), Outlook Festival (Croatia) and are a staple at the famous Noisia Invites shows and tours, Northern Bass (NZ), Boomtown (UK), Glastonbury (UK), Shambhala (Canada), Origin (Australia).
