ANDY C - Nightlife 6 - OUT NOW - http://po.st/Nightlife6iTunes

It’s time to unleash the beast! Ladies and gentlemen, Ram Records are proud to present ‘Nightlife 6’… Andy C’s largest ever mix release. 

Celebrating over 100 sounds from the scene’s most exciting, on-point precision producers across three CDs, Andy has pushed the ‘Nightlife’ boundaries to untold levels. And here are just a handful of examples of the future-fired sounds you’ll hear within. A massive two-part release, the ‘Nightlife 6’ EPs highlight a small selection of the killer sounds Andy’s curated for the sixth instalment of his unarguably authoritative mix brand. 

Hive’s ‘Neo’ already has a special place in ‘Nightlife’ legend: it appeared on Andy’s debut mix. Rebooted by none other than Audio, it’s been updated with cutlass clarity. Beautifully brutal, heroically heavyweight: Audio never, ever disappoints. 

‘Misfits’ is a tag-team tear-up from Ram-signees June Miller and their regular partner in crime Nymfo. Icy angularities abound as we launch with a spooked out lead melody that drops us headfirst into a gnarly, spiked out bass riff and a sharp steppy riddim. 

Unknown Error provides the lush contrast every ‘Nightlife’ mix is famed for. Soul-laden from its ignition, Janine Small’s emphatic vocals cut through the jazz-minded chords with stunning effect. Propelled by some stunning drum sounds and gorgeous piano work, you can file this one under timeless. 

Xtrah completes this first instalment with a bona fide hurter; whether it’s the rushy vocal and hardcore twinkles of the intro that hits you hardest or his incredible attention to detail on the percussive groove, this sums up why Xtrah has achieved the spotless scene status he’s achieved in such a short time. 

Four dynamite D&B workouts from some of the most exciting names in drum & bass right now, this is a seriously big EP… Now hold tight for ‘Nightlife 6’ EP Part II! 

Nightlife 6 EP Part I 
1: Hive – Neo (Audio Remix) 
2: June Miller & Nymfo - Misfits 
3: Unknown Error – Rising Feat Janine Small 
4: Xtrah – The Base

June Miller & Nymfo - Misfits #Nightlife6

RAMM154 - June Miller - Empathy / Operation Ivy - out Sunday 12th - pre-order http://po.st/JMEmpathyOpIvyiT

Few acts showcase drum & bass’s exciting creative scope with the same skillish vibrancy as June Miller. 

Since signing to Ram Records a year ago, the Dutch/Anglo duo have locked themselves away in their Utrecht HQ working on a series of mindblowing creations. Deep in sonic solitude, they’ve pushed themselves to whole new levels… As proved by the stunning ‘Empathy’ and ‘Operation Ivy’. Both pivotal tracks on Andy C’s explosively extensive ‘Nightlife 6’ opus, these cuts represent June Miller’s chiselled production skills like never before. 

We kick off with ‘Empathy’. Igniting with a surging sense of soul, the unity of timeless synths and spellbinding vocals set a smouldering scene that’s suddenly shattered into gnarled fragments when the drop lands. An overwhelming bass riff scuffs across the blistering breakbeats to create a thunderous groove. Instant riot material, this has been tried and tested by Andy C since the summer, each airing causing unparalleled commotion in its wake. 

‘Operation Ivy’ complements the carnage perfectly. A jittering, snake-like roller with deep funk coded into every element, everything about this pristine precision piece is designed to get the floor wriggling. From the crisp digi slap bass to the strident, spacious drum dynamics and textured rhythmic stabs, this is an impeccable example of how measured and meticulous drum & bass production standards are when they’re in the right hands. 

Two outstanding cuts from one of the scene’s most forward-thinking, accomplished acts, two representations of how far-reaching and creative drum & bass can be: June Miller have an incredible year ahead of them. And it starts right here.

Skankandbass - Best of 2013 Mix

Brilliant duo June Miller reworks probably the Dabs & Safire's best tune 'Hideout', appeared on the 2nd Avantgarde 12". Their take on it is heavy! Classical JM punchy drums team up with a solid bass re-arrangement, with sharped peaks and twisting edits. LowQui vocals are hilighted and make the remix a  certified dancefloor rinser. Every-set tune!

RAMiami - Drum & Bass 2015 - out now - po.st/RAMiami2015iT

The waiting is finally over… We’re about to unleash your soundtrack for the next Music week in Miami and it’s packed full of exclusives. With no less than 28 brand new cuts accompanying you onto one of the world’s hottests beaches, prepare for the smooth riding riddims of Ram Records to envelop the US and beyond.

From label stalwarts Delta Heavy, to new signees Teddy Killerz and championed guests Gerra & Stone, there’s a musical taste to suit every palette. Whether it’s from a renowned roster artist or a relative newcomer, this compilation bursting with heaps of exclusives is the only way to launch you headfirst into the innovation drum & bass is renowned for.

Carefully finessing this album, the Ram imprint is about to drum & bass for a transatlantic journey. It’s a showcase of what the genre can offer… electric vibes which pulses through its veins and cherished memories of a tempo which pulls you into the morning’s early hours.

But with the Miami conference pedestalling every major genre which has made electronic music so popular, there would be a void if Ram didn’t step up. And as one of the most withstanding labels from the last two decades, they’ve delivered with immense style. You’re provided with a host of smooth basslines and hotly tantalising vocals to take you from pool-party to clubs at some of the most renowned districts.

Audio is first to deliver, crashing in at full speed and leaving no survivors with the tear out anthem which is ‘Combust’. Then taking you into a web of technicality and meticulous composition is Calyx & Teebee’s ‘Wipe Out’. There are also a huge selection of Vips to firmly solidify why it’s important to revisit tunes which are still to this day so highly sought after; leading the way is Loadstar’s ‘Under Pressure’ Vip, which set a stunning precedent in 2014.

So, now it’s time take the legacy of Hornchurch to Miami and lay down the same roots which are still prevalent throughout the UK today. And adding that to Miami’s reputation, it’s a match which is set to make history.

Deep in solitary lockdown, Hamilton has been crafting these next cuts with the meticulous precision. These two tracks present the perfect backdrop for his comeback, presenting him as a veteran artist who effortlessly combines the famed 90s vibe with contemporary production. 

And after the ongoing success of his Schema EP, as well as the huge reception to his release ‘Fire/Be There’, this is a welcome return. 

With pent up aggression and pounding breaks, ‘Feel the Fury’ rolls out first ominously. Cracking high hats and quick-fire percussion adds a layering that helps carry the record’s forward motion. Alongside a bassline that coils, and then lashes out over a plunging drop, you’re thrown between the snap, crack and whip of a hugely intricate composition. Hamilton is back… And he’s here to re-educate you with his unfaltering skillset. 

On the flipside, ‘Track 8’ is an innovative slice of drum & bass which is both fun and drivingly relentless. Bouncing subs, coupled by distorted synths take you through elevated note patterns of gradually building, musical imagery. It’s a steppy riddim, one which doesn’t completely crash on impact but instead is creeping in its intensity. It’s Hamilton at his most diverse, yet again proving the versatility in his craftwork.

With another stunning delivery from Hamilton, 2015 is setting a precedent. One which the producer is sure to ride out into the future.

Double a side drum & bass if we do say so ourselves.

No strangers to the bass game, the Anglo-Dutch dynamos have already amassed a major fanbase thanks to their uncompromising production skills and penchant for dark, gritty grooves on  well respected labels such as Horizons, Critical and Nu Directions. Their Ram relationship is already in place with the release of their previous club stunner ’64 Thousand Dollar Habit’ this time last year. Now it’s time to consolidate that with a full signing and big plans for the future. 

This is what label boss Andy C has to say:
  
“June Miller are not messing around! Their production is unreal… Laser guided precision and disgusting bass; their tunes are destroying clubs! We’re very proud to have them on board. Get ready!”

June Miller
From Autumn To Ashes / Change Feat. Sofie Letitre

What an entrance! Cementing their exclusive signing with Ram Records, Dutch/Anglo duo June Miller have delivered two of their deadliest weapons to date for their debut single. This is no mean feat; with a career that includes well respected labels such as Horizons, Commercial Suicide, DSM and Rubik, June Miller’s track record is spotless… And now it’s about to go next level

‘From Autumn To Ashes’ is truly unique. A word that’s far too overused in dance music, this really is one of a kind; and you’ll understand that the moment those crisp guitar plucks bid you a cold welcome. Spooky sonics a go-go; it’s the moment in a B-movie horror where the cute college girls split up in the woods to find their way home. It’s a white knuckle ride on a rickety ghost train. It’s a run through the fog on a mystical winter’s morning when you really should be in bed. It’s the same fine-tuned balance of hunchback punk and laser-locked bass the duo last showcased on Ram just over a year ago with the equally unique guitar-busting floor-blazer ’64 Thousand Dollar’.
 
Naturally ‘Change’ acts as the perfect foil. Dutch singer Sofie Letitre’s vocals stop you dead in your tracks; surging, urging and distinctive. June Miller have brought the very best out in her as they ruthlessly lay the sub-frequency smack down beneath. Searing and tearing, the bass cuts through the mix like with razor-like charm while the weighty kicks double up at will, tripling on the fills for added drama.

We’re talking serious peaktime bizzle here; your crowd won’t know what to do with themselves when this drops but go crazy! By the time June Miller’s trademark strong-arm build up ignites you’ll have nothing but shuddering bass casualties.
We've said it before and we’ll say it again… What an entrance! Expect plenty more unique material from June Miller on Ram in the very near future.
