With every day that passes, the high-scale humanitarian crisis and assault on the people of Ukraine continues to worsen. Civilian deaths are increasing on a daily basis across the country with no sign of stopping, with millions of citizens already forced out of their homes in search of refuge. As we wake up to yet another day of war, hundreds more innocent lives have been lost and destroyed overnight. We cannot leave this unchecked, and we need to act on this now without hesitation.

Now more than ever is a time for unity, solidarity and support of a nation under attack. It's crucial for us to use our voice to create widespread and sustained awareness of the situation on the ground in Ukraine, and to give support in every way possible. Whether it's signing petitions, attending demonstrations, sharing facts on social media, offering help for refugees, or more - this situation cannot be allowed to continue, and engaging in support of any kind for the people of Ukraine is our absolute priority.

Comprised of over 100 exclusive tracks from across the Drum & Bass and wider Bass Music spectrum, alongside over 30 pieces of bespoke visual art, with art direction by Uno (@uno.graphics), we are proud to present our compilation project 'Together with Ukraine'.

16 Bar Cycles (with Christoph El Truento)

'Continued Presence' http://bit.ly/1u6KduA 

For "16 Bar Cycles" I was super excited to get one of my favourite artists, Christoph El' Truento on the LP. His music is totally inspiring and makes you think about music in an entirely new way. "One Day Your Heroes Will Fall Over" (http://christoph-el-truento.bandcamp.com/…/a-series-of-oops…) and "Sunflower"(http://christoph-el-truento.bandcamp.com/album/sunflower-ep) are great places to start if you're unfamiliar with his stuff.
After asking Christoph about doing a collab, I was sent a dropbox link with a dozen or so loops. I honestly could of made a track with any of them, but I naturally gravitated to the one used on "16 Bar Cycles".
After opening up Logic and dropping the parts in, I literally had most of the track together in only a couple of hours. As they say, the best tracks write themselves and that was 100% the case on this one.
I had always planned to include non-dnb, or tracks slightly off-centre on my LP and this one exactly what I was trying to create. Its not often that I have a vision for a track and I can actually work it to realisation.
I'm really proud of this track and think it really opens the LP on the perfect note.

Now you must of known this one was gonna get onto vinyl one way or another...
SYNKRO has been one of my favourite electronic artists for a while now. Ever since hearing his track "Departure" a few years ago I've followed everything he's done. The emotion he manages to capture in his music is simply astounding and something that few producers can do.
My first contact with Synkro was when he was asked to remix one of my tracks "Echoes" a couple of years ago. I still remember how excited I was sending off the stems for "Echoes" as well as another track of mine, "Saving Grace".
When the remix came back I was blown away. The intricate percussion whilst so varied manages to stay cohesive, and the new 80's-ish background synth runs just make the tune. I've heard that a 130bpm remix of Saving Grace was started however this was never completed.
After getting Synkro onboard for the album I started putting together a track. I knew I wanted to do something non-dnb was working around the 130bpm mark. I jumped on the train a few weeks later and headed up to Manchester for a weekend in the studio.
We broke the track down and started to rebuild the percussion using a number of the original sounds. A bunch of new elements were added and after a couple of stints the track was done.
I had hit a bit of a slow patch writing the LP and this track proved to be a real turning point. I had been using Logic for a couple of years but after using Ableton for this session with Synkro, I knew I had to change. It was a bit of a ballsy move to switch DAWs mid album but it provided the shake up I needed. I got back to London and within a couple of months had written a bunch of tracks and more or less had the album completed.

Sam Reed aka Tokyo Prose is the leading producer of liquid drum & bass in NZ. His music has been released on Soul:r, Samurai Music, Hospital Records and his most recent album “Wild Grace” was released on Lenzman’s emergent The North Quarter label. His music is regularly supported by many of the scenes biggest names including Calibre, Lenzman, Hybrid Minds, LSB, DJ Marky, London Elektricity and many more.

For a career of over ten years’, Tokyo Prose has a succinct and carefully managed back-catalogue of music. He has a deliberate, restrained, and soulful production style with a firm focus on musicality and groove.

Tokyo Prose started his career on Samurai Music with 2011’s 'Introducing Tokyo Prose’ EP that featured the breakout tune "Saving Grace”.  In the same year, Tokyo Prose with Fis went onto launch the Samurai Horo label including the track “The Truths” which featured on Forrest Swords’ 2018 DJ Kicks compilation.   

In 2014 Tokyo Prose released his debut album ‘Presence’ on Samurai Music. ‘Presence’ marked the culmination of his musical exploration and evolution up until that point - encapsulating the soulful, emotive vibrancy of the Tokyo Prose sound, now fully formed and refined. The album included several features with DRS, Riya and Fox on vocals and Lenzman, Synkro and LSB on co-production. 

Soon after saw his first feature on Marcus Intalex's hugely respected label Soul:R with 'Tell Me', on the 5th edition of the popular Fourfit series.

Tokyo Prose’s sophomore album on The North Quarter 'Wild Grace' delivered a masterclass in emotive musical storytelling. The project features some of his most sought-after works including the popular ‘Innate Motion’, ‘Trick of the Light’ and ‘Brilliant Corners’. ‘Innate Motion’ was also featured in Calibre’s BBC Essential Mix.
