KING WORM - Deadeye

These days, the name L Plus on a release comes laden with expectations. There'll be expansive areas of soundscape harbouring rave-reverberating bass and precision-strike drums. There'll be detailed attention to musicality and a never-lapsing surge of energy. And if you've been checking shows from heavy-hitters like Friction recently, you'll know that this EP delivers on those expectations to the max.

“Jailbreak” is all about controlled aggression. A suspenseful chord pattern interspersed with drive-by shots of bass sets the scene. Then there's a multi-stage drop, first delivering us into a pressurised container of bass and kicks, before a further build leads us to the addition of punch-to-the-solar-plexus snares. This is heavy, heavy, unrelenting stuff.

And talking of heavy stuff, the next track is, aptly enough, “One Tonne of Bass”. A big room intro built from swirling atmospherics and wide sonorous sustained notes shimmers into view. Then the eponymous vocal sample signals a drop down into straight-up head-nodding grimy funk. Then L Plus keeps the heat rising as the bassline modulates to give each sixteen bars a character of its own. This is one to give the dancefloor a proper workout.

Then “Arcade” brings something for ravers to love and producers to envy. The chirps, bleeps and melodic patterns of eighties gaming are recreated and woven into twenty-first synthesis in a way we haven't quite heard before. It's a shoot 'em up between nostalgic stabs and ultra-modern bass and riffs which grows into a full on sonic war, and it's an addictive exultant joy. This is one that screams out to be pulled back and played from the top.

Things are a little darker in the dystopian city conjured up by “Snitch”. There's a technoid paranoia in the air, brought on by an approaching insurgency of low end. The drop provides no relief as sparse beats leave the bassline free to fill the space with interrogation-room oppression. With one eye always on the dancefloor, this is where L Plus proves his mastery of creating mood with music.

This EP proves why L Plus tunes are a constant fixture in the sets of well-informed DJs. Combining a rare technical proficiency with a well-honed musical and storytelling sensibility, plus a ruthless desire to smash parties everywhere, this producer is at the top of his game. This is creative rave music set to blaze on raves and airwaves alike.

 MaxNRG has repeatedly proven that he's perfectly prepared to twist up a sub-genre or two in his quest for dancefloor mastery. We've seen him experiment with multiple shades of the drum and bass palette and funnel all of them through his highly individual approach to musicality. The only constant is the presence of rock-hard drums and lethal bass. Even in his craziest excursions, it's all about the rave. 

In “Kill the Snake”, Max casts his mad scientist's eye onto a blending of styles. There's that high-energy big-room vibe somehow entwined with a more claustrophobic technoid, neuro flavour. This counterpoint is established right from the intro, as low, menacing strings are offset by a modulating ravey synth in the high end. These sounds lay the foundation for a documentary dialogue sample that gives the track it's title. Then clean pizzicato strikes mesh with an alarm-call riser to take this sound-melding tune to the drop. 

The bass and beats are, as you'd expect from MaxNRG, clinically merciless. Ear-poppingly pressurised drums ride along a driving undercurrent of grittiness in the bass. The mids and highs fulfil that smooth-and-serrated combination that was laid out in the intro and take us effortlessly through building layers of drama. The energy just doesn't quit. 

It's clear by now that MaxNRG is a big fan of taking established ideas and reconfiguring them almost beyond recognition. Whether it's from instinct or meticulous study, his understanding of the form shines through, without ever distracting from the drum and bass heartbeat at the core of his music. This is intelligent rave music that hits hard.

Cyantific - Outatime (Pt. 2) [Friction BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra]

Out Now Technique.lnk.to/HoldinOnso

It’s that time once again! Time for barbecues, beaches, blue skies and a heavyweight selection of bangers to soundtrack it all. Yes, as is now established tradition, the arrival of the sun signals a brand new Technique Summer LP, and the first taste of it is here. It’s something fresh from Drumsound & Bassline Smith, the label bosses themselves. So, you know this is going to be big.

Right from the first uplifting warm strings and piano chords, Holdin On has hands-in-the-air anthem written all over it. Those soaring vocals ramp up the euphoria even further, and make this a tune that you’re definitely going to want to pull back and play from the top.

Drumsound & Bassline Smith then give us one of their trademark monumental builds to make this a guaranteed floor-filler.We’re dropped into deeply satisfying skank-out material. Over the top of seething pulses of bass and crisp, rolling drums, there’s a percussive riff which makes this tune instantly recognisable.

As this melds with reconfigured twists on the vocal melody, al the elements combine into an epic production that’s going to light up the biggest venues and most panoramic festival stages 2017 has to offer. In short, it’s a big tune.

It might only be the first glimpse of what the Technique Summer LP 2017 has to offer, but this release a killer in its own right. Technique’s seasonal compilations are notoriously huge and diverse, but if Holdin On is anything to go by, the levels could be the highest yet. It’s going to be a good summer

Ahead of his long-awaited album ‘Bloodline’ this summer, Cyantific is gearing up to release his second album single, this time featuring drum & bass heavyweight duo DC Breaks. An absolutely massive collaboration from every angle, ‘More Than Human’ is equal parts dark and dangerous, masterfully mixing together Cyantific’s iconic, 80s infused vibe together with the duo’s high-octane sound for a track destined to become a classic in every head’s collection. 

A cinematic opening instantly creates a state of suspense, adrenaline pumping from the very beginning with gritty, residual bass and a sinister groove that could only be possible when two of drum & bass’ biggest names collide. 

Eerie, mysterious, powerful, and an all-around impressive feat of modern day production, ‘More Than Human’ is set to be one of the biggest tracks of the year, continuing the anticipation for the rest of Cyantific’s album, out this summer on the mighty Viper Recordings.

A label that prides themselves as constantly being at the forefront of new drum & bass, the album is a curation of both the scene’s most well-respected veterans as well as a promising taste of up-and-coming talent. Covering the genre’s home in the UK as well as the best talent emerging from all over the world, the album is a celebration of diversity and strength, and a must-have for old and new fans alike.
The album is a hand-picked selection by label-boss Futurebound and celebrates the incredible diversity and strength of the genre the world over.

Viper have always been known as a label that has actively sought out new talent to bring to the spotlight; their strength comes from both a diverse roster, a constant stream of fresh talent, and some of the scene’s most respected veterans, all in one place. With names like Metrik, Fred V & Grafix, ShockOne, Delta Heavy, Sigma, Nero, DC Breaks, and more all starting their career on the prolific label, there’s no question label-boss Futurebound has a knack for discovering diamonds in the rough. Following Viper’s newest mystery signee Giganti, Futurebound has just signed another talented newcomer to the label, this time going by the name of Millbrook. 
Millbrook is no stranger to releasing killer music; a look into his past will provide insight how he cut his teeth writing and releasing drum and bass under previous alias Vacuum. With an impressive amount of support and airtime from the likes of Bassnecter, Noisa, DJ Hype, Camo & Krooked and Glitch Mob already under his belt, Michel Losch, aka Millbrook, is now ready to elevate his sound to the next level in a new partnership with Viper.
Making a remarkable introduction for himself, ‘The Rise’ is the first taste of the Luxembourg based producer’s rebrand. Written with the talented Vorso and featuring industry favourite Mad Hed City on vocals, ‘The Rise’ is a raw, gritty, pounding masterpiece with a drop that is guaranteed to leave jaws on the floor. A charming intro melody quickly evolves into something much more sinister, emotion, followed by pure adrenaline, pumping from Mad Hed City’s iconic voice before breaking down into something minimal, funky, and all around technically brilliant. 
The flip side of the single gives us a glimpse at Millbrook’s much more elegant side – a cinematic opening teases at his sound design ability while introducing a variety of power-packed chords for an instantly memorable tune. Delivering a different kind of funk with the drop, Millbrook has certainly proven he is a force to be reckoned with with this release. 
A celebration of the label’s diversity, Millbrook’s introductory release promises a lot more to look forward to. Keep your eyes peeled for more from Millbrook this year, alongside Viper’s growing roster of new and formidable talent.

After making a huge impact with his first release, the exciting & fresh Millbrook is back!

Continuing on his path to success, new single ‘Rituals/Beyond’ gives new insight into the creative
mind that is Millbrook. ‘Rituals’ delivers an incredibly elegant opening, with soft pads and a
welcoming ambiance that enchants right from the start. However, what stands out most about
the track is the drop. Taking the listener completely by surprise, Millbrook dishes out a hearty
dose of funky, fresh, and totally original beats while still maintaining the cinematic atmosphere
built from the beginning, and cements the talented producer’s name in the Viper catalogue
indefinitely.

The flip side of the single, ‘Beyond’, gives us a look at Millbrook’s darker side, joining forces with
Disprove & Ordure with a much more ominous intro that builds equal parts suspense and
anticipation. Dedicating ample time to creating the perfect build-up, it flaunts their craftmanship
before unpacking an obliterating neurofunk drop that is sure to decimate dancefloors the world
over.

With only his second label release under the Millbrook moniker, the producer has already proven
he is a force to be reckoned with and is sure to turn heads with this latest release. Showing no
signs of slowing down and an impressive amount of creativity, diversity, and technical skill, there
is no doubting Futurebound has unearthed another diamond to welcome to the Viper family.

When Tantrum Desire drops a brand new EP, we all sit up and take notice. Those in the know will have already heard tracks from this release like 'Shimmy' and 'Step to the Sound' lighting up raves and airwaves everywhere. Top tier deejay support on Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss and in some of the biggest dances around means that the 'Blue Moon EP' is already a tried and tested essential.

First up we get the bouncing bomb that is 'Shimmy'. A shadowy intro morphs and builds into a powerhouse drop, when that bassline pushes the levels of funk through the roof. Add in the switch-ups and modulations that Tantrum Desire throws at us from all angles, and you can't help being magnetised by the mayhem.

Then there's 'Step to the Sound'. Discordant strings and sirens give us a warning of what's to come, then Nuklear MC steps up to the mic to take things one notch more gassy. With the tension cranked to absolute max, Tantrum Desire pulls the trigger and unleashes a dancefloor-scorching bassline. Hard.

'Zealous' opens amidst sci-fi atmospherics, touches of synth and percussion swirling around one another. This being Tantrum Desire at the controls, this ride could be taking us anywhere, and the destination doesn't disappoint. Dropping us into the borderlands between sub-genres, the pulsing, insistent bass and toughened-steel drums are going to grab DnB fans from all across the spectrum.

Finally, we have the eponymous 'Blue Moon'. Elegant pads, leading to one of Tantrum Desire's trademark huge builds, provide a hands-in-the-air moment that'll connect with crowds across festivals and raves alike. As the tune drops into snaking tendrils of bassline, there's a slick counterpoint with elements of melody shimmering and switching over the top. Big tune.

We've come to expect big things from Tantrum Desire every time, and this EP delivers as always. Here are four tracks precision-tooled for the dancefloor, technicality and musicality combined to deliver pure rave-hyping vibes.
