🖤⚔️🔊☠️

As we welcome Stephen Redmore aka Mako back to the label, it’s important to note that Death of a Romantic is not only the debut LP for Mako on Samurai Music, but it also puts Mako in a solo category, a historic first - the only artist to ever release an artist LP on both Metalheadz and Samurai Music.

Death of a Romantic aptly captures Mako’s ability to span different corners of Drum and Bass’ musical palette - a talent cultivated by a musical approach informed by full absorption in the history of this music as a building block, plus a dedication to perfecting the science of breaking down the essential elements needed to make any construction approach at this tempo achieve maximum efficacy.

Followers of Mako’s music have no doubt taken note of this versatile approach to writing music and his gifted ability with breaks and sub-bass. For Death Of A Romantic, a considered approach to strip the music back more in line with the Samurai Music sound was taken but the album retains the Mako flavour - deft, subtle hooks, beds of sub and ethereal ambience, pinned down by total rhythmic potency.

Highlights are many, but the first tunes that were written for the LP embody perfectly the musical environment Mako built specifically for this LP - ‘The Both Of Us’ with its sinister intro and tear out conclusion, and ‘Raisuma’ - a call and response rhythm that is almost dub-like in feel with peaks that pack a hefty punch.

Makos's signature lead hooks appear, albeit tempered, to compliment the build reduction on tracks like ‘Falter’ and LP closer ‘We Can Love All’ - both are clear cases of this interpolation of Makos's own breadth of style, pointedly refined to slot into the LPs sound and utilising space to increase their power.

The Death of a Romantic song titles all carry a consistent message, one that Mako puts to use in his own life and interactions with other humans, and one we could all benefit from reflecting on at this time - life brings us joy and pain and much more in between, but if we live with compassion and humility, we can truly love all.

Tracklist:

01. Empathy Dub
02. Even Treasured Memories Fade
03. The Both of Us
04. False Promise
05. Falter
06. Cold Hands
07. Raisuma
08. Grieve
09. The Choice is Yours
10. We Can Love All

An alternate, wobblier version of my track "Blistering"  out on @egreg-re.
Was testing out the original mix for my lodge set but felt it needed a deeper darker vibe for that moment. Enjoy!

Following the success of her dance floor-storming White Gloves EP, Trouble & Bass’ queen of darkness returns to the label with something completely different. “The Night” finds Star Eyes spreading her bat wings on a full-vocal tune that she calls her “goth dubstep love song.” This is romance as you’ve never heard it before – full of purple atmospheres, heart-grabbing synth work, and incredible bass offset by sweet vocals (written and sung by Star Eyes herself) that speak to the magic of the midnight hour.

While Star Eyes’ original track is an ideal set-closer, radio spin, or dubstep slow-dance number, the remixes take things straight to the heart of the dance floor. Scotland’s Hostage turns in the ultimate rave anthem of the past and present, mixing soaring 1992 piano breakdowns with futuristic production and the hardest kicks this side of the UFC. T&B’s dark soldier Deathface adds a touch of brutality, dropping angelic breakdowns into nasty dubstep bass and metallic sounds guaranteed to create a mosh pit in minutes. Sacramento duo Bad Looks rounds out the package with a 140-bpm future bass workout full of clever drum work, low-rider low-end and plenty of special effects under the hood. An awesome kick-off to 2012: another apocalyptic year of Trouble & Bass madness!

Release date - January 17th, 2012

Star Eyes - The Night (Bad Looks Remix)

Taken from the Internal EP. Out now on marbled 12" and digital  - https://samurai.lnk.to/internal

Samurai Music's Russian connection -Saint Petersburg-based Torn has refined his hi-tech dread to maximum efficacy since his solo vinyl debut on Samurai sister label Shiro in 2017. The Internal EP sees his sculpted malaise reaching a creative peak, completing construction on a distinctive desolation he now inhabits like a second skin.  'Acheron' - an inevitable collaboration with Homemade Weapons, sees these two masters of menace fusing their rhythmic prowess into a sleek, malicious tear, while the 3 solo tunes display Torn's newfound artistic maturity with pride and vigour. Sharpened breakbeat spears are deftly welded to Torn's pounding pulses of gloom, with lead track 'Internal' being the most dominating stylistic showcase on the EP. A forceful statement from one of drum and bass music's more promising new talents.

ISSXI.IX | Cocktail Party Effect | Fix - It

Chincy was made on a kitchen table using an Akai MPC3000, Moog Sub37 and a Korg Minilogue for hardware; plugged into a Midas Venice mixer, Crane Song STC-1, Thermionic Culture Rooster and Focusrite pre-amps for recording. Vocals by Chicago. Subs by car system tests. 808 by 808. Fingers by Landstrumm.

The tracks are live jams but they aren’t that cheap to make. No hunching over a computer for weeks on end. One take, one mistake. Just jamming on gear after listening to Mantronix , Dre’s The Chronic and many many UK hardcore records. Pizza Pie on speed dial and Mr X for nighttime sessions for added UK swagger. Recorded in a forest with a swampy back garden. 145 is the common thread of ‘Chincy’ and ‘Eighty Four’ with a 160 diversion for equal measure on ‘Cutlass’.
