PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Drumsound & Bassline Smith - [TECH 100 Retrospective LP]

RELEASE DATE: 30th March 2014

PreOrder: smarturl.it/TECH100LP

Currently celebrating one hundred releases with a set of EPs from label bosses Drumsound and Bassline Smith themselves, Technique Recordings has established itself as one of the finest labels in the drum and bass scene over the past decade. Scene legends like Roni Size, J Magik & Wickaman, Friction, DJ SS, Twisted Individual, Crissy Criss, Tantrum Desire, ShockOne and
Youngman have all graced this imprint, and you’ll consistently find the Technique name at the top of genre charts and smashing clubs worldwide. It’s no surprise that this label has assembled a sufficiently heavyweight back catalogue to fill a forty-three track LP with remastered classics and exclusive VIP selections.
Time for a Retrospective.
This album takes you in every direction, covering all wavelengths of the drum and bass spectrum. Drumsound and Bassline Smith, along with their alter-ego 2DB, provide an extensive selection of the tracklisting, backed up by their label’s current international soldiers and a selection of those heavy-hitters who’ve graced the imprint over the years.
So, in the midst of the bombardment from the label bosses, Tantrum Desire pop up with their big-room killers, Crissy Criss & Youngman drop in to grime things up a touch, and Dub Foundation flip things into half-step style. And, to show this is a truly worldwide movement, there are contributions from Ukraine’s MaxNRG, Slovakia’s L Plus, and a couple of combos hailing from down under, Skyver & D Jon and Spectrem & Spillage.
All this and choice cuts from Roni Size, DJ SS, Twisted Individual, Digital, J Majik & Wickaman, plus an appearance from TeeBee on remix duties. No wonder the Technique brand continues to raise its status.
Over the years, and their hundred releases, Drumsound and Bassline Smith’s Technique Recordings have proven themselves to be a monumental institution in the drum and bass scene. Every one of these tracks has graced raves and airwaves worldwide, and while this Retrospective is looking back at the classics, it also promises big things for the next Technique century.

Spectrem & Spillage - Trust [TECH 100 Retrospective LP]

Soul:Motion - Doubts (Out Now On Store Jam)

Release date: 2011-11-07
Rub A Duck 006
Relay & Front
1. Farewell Letter
2. Farseer

Relay & Front drop their new single on the Rub A Duck imprint, featuring the two titles “Farewell Letter” and “Farseer”.

Relay & Front, two producers from Finland and Estonia, teamed up in summer 2011 when they were both 19 years of age. Initially meeting regularly online, they eventually started working together after Front successfully enticed Relay into the world of drum ‘n’ bass. Their style, often described as liquid drum ‘n’ bass, has a lot in common with material from known acts like Makoto, Camo & Crooked and Netsky. The first title of this new single package, “Farewell Letter”, recently appeared on the soon to be released Snow Dance 001 compilation and has everything in it that marks their own sound, with live guitar and piano. The arrangement is elaborate and showcases an exciting combination of driving basslines, slightly mysterious piano programming and a merciless hammering breakbeat. Once the break sets in, the guys fade to a superb guitar lick that could have been played by The Cure; a given that adds that extra bit of atmosphere to the entire song. Perfect for the underground live sets.

The second title, “Farseer”, focuses a bit more on the harder side of Relay & Front’s sound. Once again our Baltic friends took their time to write an attractive arrangement for their synth programming, combined with swirly vocal samples. The chopped up drum fills make for a nice, rough edge to the end result, all the while staying close to the all over mystical feel of the entire production. It is clear that Relay & Front know how to deliver well prepared and ever so musical backing tracks with real instruments for today’s drum ‘n’ bass dance floors. Taylor made material for all DJs and soon to be found in a live set near you!
