DJ Airwalk - Mandatory (Rivs Remix)

Our second release features an original production from label founder, Garrett Jr. With heavyweight Amen breaks, rave-era pads, and techno-inspired stabs, So High fuses speaker shaking sub-bass with soulful vocal cuts recorded in collaboration with Jo Hadler from Wilder Vocals.

With the incredible DJ Sofa on remix duties, the track flips into a deep, thumping Jungle roller - stripped back and driven hard by pounding drums and crisp 808s.

This cross-border link-up connects Garrett’s Bristol roots with Sofa’s new school Jungle style out of Helsinki, Finland.

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.

Document One - 7th Dimension EP

Document One had, to put it mildly, a pretty good 2016. Their unique blend of tech, hip-hop, jazz and funk influences have cemented their place among the elite of drum'n'bass producers. Their tunes are consistently at the business end of the DnB download charts and they've garnered support from some of the biggest DJs in the scene. So, this EP, their first release of 2017, bears the weight of a huge amount of expectation.

The title track, “7th Dimension” takes all the elements of an archetypal Document One tune and presents them crisper and sharper than we've ever heard them before. There's an almost liquid intro, peppered with shimmering brass and an atmospherically FXed vocal clip. But then there's the eponymous MC sample, which cuts through the soundscape and prepares us for a switch up. The tune becomes a weighty, dark roller, with Doc One's trademark funk in the seething and warping bassline supported by diamond-tipped drums.

Then “The Rhythm” switches things up. The intro gives no clue as to where we're going with this one, as subtle percussion and one-hit sounds reverberate around a dialogue clip. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security. Where we're going is into a land of indisputable filth. The driving, pulsing bassline has a serrated edge of distortion, and those neck-snapping, uppercut beats are going to do some serious damage whenever you drop this.

“Hypnotic” has something different to say again. This is where it becomes painfully blatant that Document One are never going to be easy to categorise. The fluid pressure of the intro builds into a stomping, grinding bass and beats assault to get the ravers moving. Amidst the percussive mayhem, however, there's still that atmospheric melodic and harmonic subtlety. This could find a home in your set whatever your sub-genre.

In “It's Alright”, yet more worlds collide. There's genuine emotion in the intro and the beautiful breakdown in the middle of the tune, but that kick drum build signals something different entirely. The morphing bassline travels from low-end to mid-range and back again, while the restrained violence of the drums and classic-break fills provide the scaffolding. From one angle, it could look like a Document One twist on the jump-up formula, which is something we've never heard from them before.

Finally, “I Tried” gives us pure, dark, junglist soul music. Elegant pads, keys and sax back up that gorgeous vocal sample, which turns this tune into a guaranteed hands-in-the-air moment. Document One refuse to let this dissolve into sentiment, though. The drop is lethal, as precision-tooled drums drive the dance onwards, and we all know by now how these guys do basslines. This tune has that smoky jazz club moodiness while still being able to bring hype to a rave. It's got instant classic written all over it.

So, it's clear that Document One have lived up to their billing once again as forward-thinking dancefloor destroyers with soul and funk to spare. Many people bemoan the divisions between different sides of DnB, but in this EP, it all comes together. If the future of the music is going to take in the full spectrum, then these producers might just be laying out the blueprint.

If you tried to make a list of the DnB producers who've achieved the kind of success Drumsound & Bassline Smith have, you'd find yourself running out of names very quickly. Prolific output, underground credibility, rave-destructive potential, foundational innovation, even mainstream-radio appeal, they've nailed every metric. And, now, they're dropping their third artist album, and, with that reputation preceding them, we already know it's going to be a killer. If proof were needed, though, the first taste is here.

“Come With Me”, as the title suggests, pulls us in immediately. Drumsound & Bassline Smith set us up with a slow-jam bass and R&B vocal. Even as gentle Rhodes arpeggios signal laid-back vibes, though, a kick-build indicates approaching danger, and the tune drops us into beat and bassline fury.

There's a grinding mid-range timbre that's pure dirt. It cuts through the mix, underpinned by Drumsound & Bassline Smith's trademark ultra-tight and punchy rolling drums. However, this might be a dancefloor powerhouse of a tune, but it's a lot more than that. Woven through the track are suggestions of other tunes from across the eras of DnB, giving the tune a depth and timeless quality which is going to mean this isn't just a vicious deejay weapon. It is a vicious deejay weapon, sure, but it's a lot more besides.

We might have been given a clue as to where Drumsound & Bassline Smith are going with their LP. “Come With Me” is a party tune, a dancefloor smasher, there's no mistaking it. But, with it's collision of subtlety and hype, soul and aggression, it places itself as part of a narrative about DnB music and its history. If one track can do all that, the whole album might just be something monumental.
