It’s time for another wicked Nocid Business release, and this time the bedlam is established from an all Italian crew comprised of Neve, Merikan, and First Line Squad. Each brings a unique resume to the table, but have found time to make previous collaborations with each other.

Neve & Merikan - Channel

Emperor & Mefjus - Void Main Void

DJ Trax, Naibu and Becki Biggins on vocals - for us here at Subtle Audio, this is a kind of D&B dream-team! "All Is Silent" begins with an ethereal vocal-led intro which promptly gives way to a slightly sordid bass sound. The drums roll in and the bass gets progressively nastier, initially simmering, eventually seething and then it slips away temporarily before rising once more. The breakdown returns us to the calming vocals and synth washes of the intro before an anthemic piano motif introduces the return of the drums and a somewhat friendlier bass sound for a thrilling climax.

[PCMS039] Earl Grey - Without Purpose

Brimming with danger but yet fluid and smooth, Reactiv achieves a delicate balancing act with "Metatron Falls". Another artist we've patiently waited to release, we're very happy to finally get his beats onto wax for the 'Decade In Breakbeat' album.

NCQL annouces himself in no uncertain fashion with the anthemic strings of “The Framed Dreams Of Loki”. The track nods to DJ Premier, Prefuse 73 and classic Metalheadz D&B Hidden Agenda style and there’s a subtle (!) reference to a certain classic 90s rave tune in there aswell. It sounds like a mess - it’s anything but ! This is uplifting breakbeat at it’s very best. It’s not often a tune gets played three times by Bailey on his BBC 1Xtra show in the space of a month, so this must be something special.
			
The flipside has a similar organic & uplifting aesthetic. A strutting break is the base for a deluge of warmth in the shape of synths, strings, flutes, harp and vocals - an unusual sound palette for a Drum & Bass track these days but refreshing to hear. DJ Flight thought so and has aired it on one of her “Next Chapter” Rinse FM broadcasts.

Shift - Song Cycles For Ritual Dance

A. Juju
B. Totem
C. Wasteland
D. Kekkai (Spiritual Barrier)

Shift’s Juju leaps into a vibe like late 90’s dark jazz Tech Step but with large amounts of variation on the rhythm. The percussion is sharp and a rapidly evolving. Double bass and squelching synth notes trade off. This is a high energy piece.

Released February 9, 2018.

We figured it was time for some d&b again, we had a few tracks lying around for a while that we wanted to finish and put out and we had 2 collabs that went well together. We wanted to call it the 'Tryhard EP', cause all the tracks were so full on. Then Nik & Karol (khomatech.com) started on the artwork, and couldnt really come up with anyuthing cool with that name, so we decided 'Imperial' was a better name. The artwork took about a week to make. We are very proud of this EP.

Imperial w/ Phace 
Phace came out to Groningen again, as he tends to do, to do music. We started this one without working on the main groove first, Florian had brought this awesome chord progrssion. We made the intro and progression from it, which is quite different musically from our normal stuff. Then we went a bit theatrical with the music, i guess we kind of suprised ourselves with the intensity of the drop. But it was refreshing to do. And it´s been going down rather well in our sets..

Tryhard 
This is an older track that has had quite a few incarnations. It used to be called ´lomp´, which translates to crude, or blunt. We had it lying around unfinished for a long time, and a certain youtube set rip was getting a lot of love, so we figured we'd finish it. Changed the mix, added a rollout section, etc. One of the inspriations for this track is Bad Company - 'Dogfight'.. such a sick tune.

Dustup w/ The Upbeats 
Our friends The Upbeats came down to Groningen amidst one of their Europe tours and we hung out, got in the studio, found an old unused bass riff, used it in the buildup, recorded all of us going 'HA' and 'ZU', worked on drum fills for a long time, temporarly called the tune 'Pumpers', jumped around in the studio and voila! 'Dust Up' was born.

Containment 
This track has had many faces also. It started as a bit of a Kemal tribute and and an attempt to do as many things with synths as possible, like the main drums for example (FM8). Along the way it became a journey back into the dark spacious sound of early 2000 era D&B.
