Drum and Bass, Electronica/Downtempo
Releasedatum: 11. Februar 2022

For this single, Adrian Andrei floats roughly between two musical worlds – and he does this with his two monikers Freqax for Drum and Bass and Freqkid for more experimental music.

Let’s start with the Drum and Bass track. “Giver” is a progressive sci-fi track with several sounds that seem to run in opposite directions, which in a very clever way create a compelling groove. The strings synth also gives the tune a floating character.

In “Lucid Dream” he naturally throttles the BPM as Freqkid, but not the intensity of the bass drum, which progresses stoically here. A melancholy melody joins the trippy basic character of the song, which could serve as a suitable soundtrack for a farewell to whatever. Definitely not from Adrian. You will soon hear him again on UTM Records!

Es bedarf nicht vieler Worte, um diesen Mann vorzustellen. Und wenn, dann sind diese umso gewichtiger. Bassface Sascha: DJ, Produzent, Labelbetreiber. Pionier. Legende. Dabei ist er immer mit der Zeit gegangen und nie in seiner Entwicklung stehen geblieben. Mit großer Ehrfurcht und vor allem viel Freude dürfen wir deshalb eine Single präsentieren, die aus seiner Feder stammt. Sascha ist seit reichlich drei Dekaden im guten Namen von Drum and Bass unterwegs und wenn einer grundsätzlich die Frage stellen kann: „What’s this all about?“, dann er! Entsprechend ist der Track dann auch tatsächlich auf das reduziert, worauf es ankommt: zupackende Synths, ummantelt von zeitgemäßem Drumming inklusive pitched Snare; dazu eine leichte Melo und thematische Vocalsnippets im Breakdown. Fertig ist ein proper Stepper!

„Inside The Rabbit Hole“ (feat. Trinity) schneidet auf der Suche nach dem weißen Hasen mit der Synth-Machete eine großzügige Schneise durch den dunklen Wald und bleibt dabei stets auf der Hut vor Gefahren von allen Seiten.

Danke Sascha, für zwei richtig cleane und betriebsame Tracks!

Bassface Sascha feat. Trinity - Inside the Rabbit Hole [PROMO CUT]

Crate Classics are a Grammy-nominated duo composed of London-based musicians Jamie Rodigan and Aaron Horn, who’ve been making music together under the moniker since 2019. The pair’s multi-faceted, genre-spanning approach to releasing music in this day and age is refreshing to say the least! Ghost Mode’ is their latest collaboration with fellow Londoner & songstress Catching Cairo, who was recently heralded as Rebecca Judd’s ‘Ascending Artist’ for 2022. This marks the first collaboration between the trio.

 “I met Cairo purely by chance in Peckham outside a bar,” Jamie told us. “We have a mutual friend who introduced us. We’re big fans of her work so when the chance meeting happened, we jumped at the opportunity to work with her. It’s a magical track and it’s been really fun working together on the project”. 

‘Ghost Mode’ gets going with chopped & screwed vocals coupled with luscious keys and pitched-up sub-bass.  This is followed by a swinging, staccato break and Catching Cairo’s haunting tones. The wistful delivery perfectly matches the disappointment of our narrator who is sick of being left out in the cold again. 

Whether you picture Boo or Casper, come and grab the hauntingly good ‘Ghost Mode’ landing in all good stores on Friday the 18th of March.

Crate Classics are a Grammy-nominated duo composed of London-based musicians Jamie Rodigan and Aaron Horn, who’ve been making music together under the moniker since 2019. The pair’s multi-faceted, genre-spanning approach to releasing music in this day and age is refreshing to say the least! Ghost Mode’ is their latest collaboration with fellow Londoner & songstress Catching Cairo, who was recently heralded as one of Rebecca Judd’s ‘One’s To Watch’ for 2022. This marks the first collaboration between the trio.

“I met Cairo purely by chance in Peckham outside a bar.” Jamie told us. “We have a mutual friend who introduced us. We’re big fans of her work so when the chance meeting happened, we jumped at the opportunity to work with her. It’s a magical track and it’s been really fun working together on the project”. 

Soulvent roster mainstays Josh Croft & Bailey Greer, better known as In:Most, took on the task of remixing the original with their usual poise and finesse. They rehome Catching Cairo’s gorgeous vocals and unique writing in the sort of warm aural embrace of sound that they’ve become known for. Their soul-stirring refix sits at a more familiar tempo - supercharging the beauty of the first iteration with soaring pads, rolling fills and surging bass. 

Whether you picture Boo or Casper, come and grab In:Most’s touching remix of ‘Ghost Mode’ landing in all good stores on Friday the 6th of May.

FIXROW - DARK TALES
Katalog-Nr.: UTMR046
Drum and Bass
Releasedatum: 22.04.2022

Tracklist:
Fixrow - Dark Tales
Fixrow - Exodus
Fixrow - See Something

[DE]
Jewgeni Belokon aka Fixrow ist ein Rohdiamant, der inzwischen in der russischen Hauptstadt lebt. Fixrow wurde vom Klang des Drum and Bass angezogen, als er 2011 Pendulum als Band hörte und später das DnB-Genre als solches entdeckte. Im Laufe der Zeit, als er mehr Tracks hörte, bemerkte er, dass es viele coole Musiker in diesem Genre aus Russland gibt. Das inspirierte ihn und er beschloss, sich selbst in dem Geschäft auszuprobieren. Fixrow mag die Atmosphäre in den Tracks und versucht, sie in seinen Arbeiten selbst zu erschaffen – wenngleich das Konzept von „Atmosphäre“ für jeden ein anderes ist. Beim Kreieren seiner Kompositionen legt er sie nicht in erster Linie für den Dancefloor an, sondern eher für unterwegs auf Kopfhörern. Er achtet mehr darauf, Pads dafür zu erstellen. Nachdem unsere Scouting-Abteilung Fixrow ausfindig gemacht hat, sind wir deshalb in besonderem Maße stolz auf „Dark Tales“, denn es ist erst das zweite Release überhaupt, was unter dem Pseudonym Fixrow erscheint. Wie von ihm selbst beschrieben, erwarten euch drei Tracks mit absolut verdichteter Atmosphäre. Mal düster und klaustrophobisch wie beim Titeltrack „Dark Tales“; mal aggressiv und mit tödlich perkussiven Stabs versehen, wie in „Exodus“ oder schaurig und verfolgend wie in „See Something“ – Fixrow avanciert für dieses Release zum Erzähler von drei individuell dunklen Geschichten voller Geheimnisse. Auf auf, liebe Hörer, geht mal schön auf Entdeckertour!

[ENG]
Yevgeny Belokon aka Fixrow is a rough diamond who now lives in the Russian capital. Fixrow was drawn to the sound of Drum and Bass when he heard Pendulum as a band in 2011 and later discovered the DnB genre as such. Over time, as he listened to more tracks, he noticed that there are a lot of cool musicians in this genre from Russia. This inspired him and he decided to try the business himself. Fixrow likes the atmosphere in the tracks and tries to create it himself in his work - although the concept of "atmosphere" is different for everyone. When creating his compositions, he does not primarily create them for the dance floor, but rather for on the go with headphones. He pays more attention to creating pads for it. After our scouting department found Fixrow, we are particularly proud of "Dark Tales", because it is only the second release ever, which appears under the pseudonym Fixrow. As he himself described, you can expect three tracks with an absolutely condensed atmosphere. Sometimes gloomy and claustrophobic like the title track "Dark Tales"; aggressive and armed with deadly percussive stabs, as in "Exodus" or spooky and haunting as in "See Something" - Fixrow becomes the narrator of three individually dark tales full of mysteries for this release. Let's go, dear listeners, go on a discovery tour!

L 33 – Rock’n’Stone
Katalog-Nr.: UTMR047
Drum and Bass
Releasedatum: 6. Mai 2022

[DE]
Für unser nächstes Release gehen wir richtig in die Vollen und haben mit einer Single von L 33 einen, wenn nicht gar DEN Vertreter für Drum and Bass aus Bulgarien am Start. Dayan hat mit seinen Produktionen jedenfalls maßgeblich dazu beigetragen, den Balkanstaat auf die DnB-Landkarte zu bringen. Seine progressiven Neurofunk-Tracks fanden bereits ihren Weg auf Labels wie Ram, Eatbrain oder Titan. Und auch für UTM-Records harpuniert er uns hier mit zwei echten Torpedos, gegen die kein Wasser zu trüb sein kann. Für „Secret Weapon“ können wir diese Metapher getrost aufgreifen, denn wenn diese Waffe dropt, ist ein Entrinnen unmöglich. „Rock´n´Stone“ taucht noch eine Schicht tiefer und zieht mit seiner Urgewalt derbe Risse in Fels und Stein. Eine Single mit zwei hochgradig progressiven Tracks, die überdies in Sachen Mixdown und Mastering on point sind!

[ENG]
For our next release we’re going to the fullest and with a single by L 33 we have one, if not THE representative for Drum and Bass from Bulgaria ready here. In any case, Dayan’s productions made a significant contribution to putting the Balkan state on the DnB map. His progressive Neurofunk tracks have already found their way onto labels like Ram, Eatbrain and Titan. And also for UTM-Records he harpoons us with two real torpedoes, against which no water can be too murky. We can confidently use this metaphor for “Secret Weapon” because when this weapon drops, there is no escape. “Rock’n’Stone” dives one layer deeper and pulls rough cracks in rock and stone with its elemental force. A single with two highly progressive tracks, which are also on point in terms of mixdown and mastering!

Ill Truth return to Dispatch with the ‘Close to the Edge EP.’ After appearing on various collaborations and remixes for Dispatch over the last three years, this release marks their first artist-led EP for the label. 

Title track ‘Close to the Edge’ sets the tone of the EP, upfront and seriously funk led, this bass-heavy stepper hits in just the right way. That trademark Ill Truth sound delivering crispy drums and textured rolling bass.

‘Session’ continues the EP on a slightly darker note, the brooding and dramatic intro breaking into metallic snares and a rolling sub bassline. 

Black Barrel joins Ill Truth for the final track "Zoo”. Their production styles perfectly matched as they deliver an outstanding track packed with bass-driven funk and precision cuts.

The show stopping grime-meets-D&B duo are bringing more heat to Hospital Records with their latest scorcher ‘Sorry I’m Not Sorry’. In 2021, P Money x Whiney dropped their cold-cut single ‘Buss The Red’ which took both scenes by storm, racking up over 3 million streams, as well as countless radio spins from the likes of DJ Target and Sian Anderson on BBC 1Xtra, René LaVice on BBC Radio 1, Fred V and Mollie Collins on Kiss, and more. With their latest single now out of the bag, the hype of P Money x Whiney continues to roll into 2022 ahead of their groundbreaking album.

Hypnotic bongos and tearout horns set the tone for P Money’s raw, unapologetic flows with a bubbling bassline drop, courtesy of Whiney. Delivering cold bars and lethal punchlines over a killer instrumental, P Money x Whiney continue to prove that they’re serious contenders when the styles of 140PM and 174BPM collide. This one is for the high energy crew!

The combined accolades of P Money and Whiney makes for one of the most exciting projects to ever hit the world of dance music. With P Money gaining legendary status within the world of grime since the early 2000s, previously collaborating with the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Ocean Wisdom, Giggs, D Double E and Lady Leshurr. No stranger to working with a range of vocalists and MCs, Whiney wrapped up his widely acclaimed three-part ‘Bubblers’ EP series which was home to his original drum & bass and grime infusion banger ‘Headlines’ featuring north London’s Subten, and has also had features throughout the series from Parly B, Ben Verse and MC GQ. 

Stay tuned for what P Money x Whiney have in store as they continue to work towards their debut joint album which is set to change the game. You’ll be able to catch the dynamic duo at Hospitality Bristol at Motion, Hospitality On The Beach in Albania plus more shows TBA throughout 2022!
