If you've been feeling the Erb N Dub and Skope combo that's been providing us with a masterful series of technically precocious dancefloor killers, then don't worry. This is the same superhero team-up, it's just that Skope has given himself a new alter-ego, Malux, specifically designed to push this brand of rave-wrecking heaviness onward. So, after this fresh lick of paint to the war-machine, it seems it's time for the shelling to recommence. In fact, you've probably already clocked the almighty remix of TC's “Next Hype” that they and Crissy Criss cooked up which has been shutting down raves and festivals everywhere this summer.

“Dubplate Killer” sees Erb N Dub and Malux recruit Tony Anthem and Navigator to the cause. The team waste no time in demanding our attention with straight up gangsta orchestral stabs. The signal is clear: this is going to be big. And it is. Manic drums provide the artillery, supporting the downright illegal chemical attack from switching and rearranging basslines. This is all about the complex rhythmic interplay between bass and drum, something which has become a trademark of these producers. When the dancefloor needs a wake-up call, here's one to draw for.

The original version of “Drummer” has already proven its credentials as a heavyweight party-hyping monster. This VIP version takes the elements and pushes them quite a few notches more filthy. The unpredictable pitch-warping bass, vying for the spotlight with the frankly insane drum programming makes the drop a screwface moment for ravers and a “WTF?” moment for production geeks. The dance can't possibly be ready for this, it's going to have to be wheeled-up to be believed.

Apparently the artist formerly known as Skope is reserving his old title for more experimental music. This release proves, however, that even as Malux he's not settling for plain normality. Erb N Dub and Malux are making dancefloor D&B, but that definition hasn't confined them, it's just shown which boundaries to push.

Sometimes you just have to look at the artist names to know a release is going to be something special. North Base have just nailed one huge collaboration, “Third Eye”, with Turno and Harry Shotta, and now they've arrived on Technique for another. And, when their powers combine with the ultra-technical musicality of Erb N Dub, the results are bound to be explosive.

“Punk Rock” goes straight in with the drama. A layer of distorted rhythm guitar keeps the beat, while huge chords and reverberating percussive strikes build the tension. The dark tinge of wailing guitar and pads in the high end ramp the anticipation even further. Then unashamedly aggressive vocal samples take us to a drop that we already know is going to be carnage.

The rough-hewn grind of the guitars in the intro is transferred to the bass, a serrated edge of fluctuating textures that warps and modulates under neck-snapping beats. Then there are those drum fills every sixteen bars that ramp the energy up to to a brand new level. And don't miss the subtlety in the little sparking delayed and reverbing effects that ride over the top to give that extra push onwards. This is going to hit dancefloors hard.

We don't often see guitar-led music mesh with DnB, but North Base and Erb N Dub have demonstrated just how it should be done. Here, the uncompromising savagery of punk meets precision engineering, and these producers prove, once again, that they're at the top of their game.

DOOM (Black Sun Empire Remix)

When one of Technique Recordings' new signings drops their first release, there's, understandably, a buzz of anticipation among DnB heads. After all, this is the label of Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Tantrum Desire, Document One, and L Plus, just to name a few. So, the duo formerly known as Glass Cobra, even more formerly known as Dubba Jonny & Russla, now going by the name No Concept, has a lot of heritage to live up to.

Of course, Technique's A&R skills are as sharp as ever. That's clear right from the intro of this EP's first track, “Nowhere to Hide”. As Arte's vocals rise and blaze over atmospheric chords and shifting patterns of arpeggio, we're drawn inexorably into No Concept's sonic world. And, trust, the title means what it says. There's no hiding from the vicious lash of those snares and thorax-shattering kicks and bass when this beast drops. Hazardous material.

But then there's another facet of the No Concept sound displayed in “Fingers”. As the shadowlands of the first few bars unfold before us, there's an unsettling uncertainty about where this track might be taking us. And that pitch-bending build delivers us somewhere just a bit different from the average. There's an stridently insistent riff that draws inspiration from jump-up, but with a serrated-edge low-end power that makes it something else entirely. This is going to earn wheel-ups wherever it's played.

“4 Dayz” is another twist to the tale. A minimally percussive intro, punctuated with dark tinges of vocal, sets the tone. Then there's the heart-stopping drama of that drop-out before the inevitable hammer-blow. This hearkens back to classic techstep, rolling breaks supported by a two-step pattern that punches huge holes through the frequency range. All that, with a high-energy warping and modulating bassline that is going to keep the dancefloor enthralled.

Closing out proceedings, we've got “Waste My Time”. With its ever-rising layers of percussive synths in the intro, those 4/4 claps, and floating vocal samples, this could almost be a reconfiguration of the hardcore formula. The drop is all about the catchiest of bassline hooks drives us onwards, with stabs and a sheen of reverberating atmospherics filling out the soundscape. All of this, supported by the neck-breaking drums that No Concept have already, even within this EP, made a staple of their sound.

So, welcome to No Concept. In this collection of four tracks they've laid out a benchmark. These guys have proven their ability to deliver forward-thinking DnB aimed squarely at the dancefloor. And you know there's going to be a lot more where that came from.

Bass generals DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH & beat assassins TEDDY KILLERZ debut their newest creation on BLACKOUT with the single “METAL & BLOOD”. Needing no introduction, DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH bring 20 years of adroit & tactical production knowledge to the table, with a vast arsenal of tracks that have garnered them a heavy reputation for their destructive capabilities. 

The unrelenting ursine trio known as TEDDY KILLERZ burst into the drum & bass scene in recent years with a slew of releases across labels such as RAM Records, Eatbrain, OWSLA, amongst others, becoming known for their ruthless approach to production and a rave decimating ideology. Through the intense collaboration between these two titans, DRUMSOUND AND BASSLINE SMITH and TEDDY KILLERZ bring forth a devastating audio assault that pushes systems with fire and fury. 

Called to arms by an invigorating speech at its outset, the churning rage of this sonic slaying machine charges to its full power before unleashing a cataclysmic bombardment from its main weapon, leveling the dance with explosive kicks and a pulverizing metallic bassline. Scant time is given to any survivors of the initial offensive as the weapon is retargeted before being loosed once again for a final salvo, devastating any remaining defenses and emerging victorious in sonic supremacy. With BLCKTNL059 “METAL & BLOOD”, the five man squadron that is DRUMSOUND & BASSLINE SMITH X TEDDY KILLERZ have crafted an unstoppable audio apparatus set to carry themselves and BLACKOUT onwards to further triumph.

French drum & bass producer The Clamps has become more and more of an identifiable force, with his forthcoming EP on veteran Prolix’s Trendkill Records quickening his pace to the top echelons. The Clamps production has often been an enviable trait, something which the artist has been refining over the past few years; this hasn’t gone unnoticed by the heaviest hitters within drum & bass, which is why he came under the radar of Prolix. And The Clamps fits well within Prolix’s growing arsenal of producers, something which the head honcho has also spent years refining. When it comes to the genre’s darker sounds, Trendkill is a go-to imprint, dominating both charts and DJ sets during its expansion. With a host of main-stay labels already ticked off by Prolix himself, it made sense for him to build a musical hub which highlighted the sounds influencing his own output.

Since the late 90s, The Clamps has spent his time pouring over the intricacies of everything from hard techno to drum & bass. After initially making a name for himself on homegrown label Kosen Production, he’s become more and more of a pivotal figure throughout the wider music circuit. Now having released on imprints such as Invisible, Titan, Eatbrain and Impact Music, his forthcoming ‘I Feel’ EP is a return to form, following the explosion of his ‘The Odyssey’ LP in 2018.

First track ‘No Reality’ creates an intro which is instantly encapsulating with its steppy instrumentals and patches of waif-like samples. Once it drops, through its pounding drum stabs, you’re taken directly into the belly of the best. Title-track ‘I Feel’ is just as chaotic, tearing through with robotic vocal interludes. ‘Mind Exploration’ runs through next, with an old-school reminiscing as you’re yet again released against its manic mechanics. ‘Interaction’ is the final track, foreboding as it begins to wheel you towards its first climatic breakdown. Each punching horn takes you in deeper before its sci-fi atmospherics leave you to its driving ferociousness.

Trendkill Records are back, with help from The Clamps - proving that the next year is titled to be one of their biggest yet.
