The Virus signed duo, Optiv & BTK have been astonishing people with their rugged and venomous take on dancefloor drum & bass sonics for a number of years now. Hailing from England and Brazil respectively, they burst through in a bit of a flurry, releasing on respected labels like Commercial Suicide and Renegade Hardware but, a little more importantly for our purposes today, they just released their second album on Virus yesterday. Called Blackjack, it's a 13 track collection of their hard edged production style, something already they're lined up to share with us in Room Two on the 11th July when they'll touch down to showcase the album material. Ahead of that (and to properly mark the album's release) they've dropped us an exclusive stream of 'Shredder'...

Sanity Check

Mefjus & Emperor - Sanity Check

Available now on Cause4Concern Recordings
Support // https://www.beatport.com/release/i-know/1879812
Artist // Subtension
Release // VDTM
Label // Cause4Concern Recordings
Release Date // 2016-11-11

An elusive acronym, ‘VDTM' is more of a roller, yet it still carries with it the techy afterglow which makes his tracks so ominous. The dimly lit depths of his production repertoire is fully exposed, slowly gearing up for all-out war through the growing number of beat loops. You're
slowly taken through a dystopian empire, one ruled over by Subtension and one filled with scarily offensive, mechanical workings. Whilst pedestalling a balance of minimalism and the type of drum & bass which grabs you face first, he proves why he's becoming such a terrifying force in sets. With patient precision, he begins to add each layer on top of the other, creating a stack of intimidating sonic work. Subtension is here to show you his world and this single gives a dark impression of its overlord.
