Da best

Brilliant duo June Miller reworks probably the Dabs & Safire's best tune 'Hideout', appeared on the 2nd Avantgarde 12". Their take on it is heavy! Classical JM punchy drums team up with a solid bass re-arrangement, with sharped peaks and twisting edits. LowQui vocals are hilighted and make the remix a certified dancefloor rinser. Every-set tune!

The wait is over - PB4 is here. Perhaps one of the most revered album series in drum & bass is back with a vengeance, and some are saying it maybe the best yet. 

It’s hard to believe this is the debut track by Calibre on Metalheadz, and it’s already a firm dancefloor favourite thanks to its skipping drums and variants in bass. The drums have the unmistakeable Calibre air to them, the air that grabs you by the hips and demands you move and paired with the aforementioned screwface bass, it really is a foregone conclusion that you're going to move.

DLR - Bridge The Gap

Mako has his first full outing for the Headz camp via METH XX. Meth XX is the fertile breeding ground for new Metalheadz artists that gives them a chance for to express themselves with the music they are making right now.
Enter Mako.

'Gully' is exactly that, gully. It’s an exercise in how to get a dancefloor moving, contorted bass, big stepping drums. Great for DJ’s and dancers - kept interesting and even changing its step at the very end of the track showing an attention to detail  sadly missing in this day and age.

Stealth
A: Homage (Back To You) feat. Stylus AA: Smash It  - OUT NOW

Beatport : http://po.st/PRGRAM019BP

Staying true to his name, Stealth has craftily taken centre stage. Every record he's released oozing with sophistication has repeatedly stolen the spotlight. And this next one is no exception.
The production connoisseur yet again goes for the aural jugular, using ProgRAM as a launch pad. Stealth demonstrates the imprint's forward thinking movements and command of a genre which often goes unmatched. The relationship has been harmonious; alongside ProgRAM, he's already made a crater sized impact within the dnb community... And it's not difficult to see why.

'Homage' leads in a tightly fashioned intensity. Dark, brooding and with plucky percussion, it's a tribute to the sound Dillinja mastered. An instantly recognisable vocal sample is filtered through the record's menace, meandering perfectly between the bassline's thumps which eventually drop us into LFO-lead chaos. Piece by piece the main melody begins to build, throbbing until it completely over-takes the record's more humanistic elements. Audibly stocky, yet with a dimension that rings true of Stealth's icy production, it's a relentless roller with a nasty bite.

Next up, 'Smash It' still holds onto the merciless setting of its predecessor, but also offers something completely different. With a bristling rhythm that steps its way into a haunting crescendo, Stealth uses this break to highlight the track's imposing detail; it trickles, floods and then the dam breaks due to the build up's audible weight. Progressing deeper into the mix, the track is underpinned by quaking sub bass. An insistent kick and snap of drums merges against steeply elevating note loops, laying out Stealth's finely combed conundrum of complex yet hard hitting composition. Both 'Homage' and 'Smash It' receive the innovative-stamp of approval, playing on more contemporary elements but also delving deep into the 90s, promising both tracks remain timeless.

Stealth is pushing his influence into every corner, with his late night vibes commanding even the hardest of crowds. So, yet again, it's time to get with the ProgRAM, and succumb to one of the scene's biggest contenders.

Lockjaw
Lifestyle Recordings - Cat #: LFS042
Juno Release - 28th July 2014
Worldwide Release - 4th Aug 2014

1. Lockjaw - Idol
2. Lockjaw - Cold In The Middle

Lifestyle Recordings are at it again, dropping future beats from Lockjaw, one of the most talked about artists on the scene at the moment. He brings the heat on LFS042, Idol/Cold In The Middle.

Lifestyle, as fans old and new will know, are all about music, bringing out and promoting some of the most vital, most important tunes of the last two years. Their ethos has always been to let the production do the talking, and that’s exactly what they are doing on their latest release. Canberra’s Lockjaw takes off from where his last tunes left us, right at the cutting edge of drum & bass.

The Upbeats “Wicked”
Mindscape “sick”
Crissy Criss “Wicked”
Dillinja “lovely rollidge”

Idol starts off as dark and deep as you could hope for, with the intro very carefully and slowly building up, like an army on the march. Electronics surround, with subtle synth lines adding to the picture. An incredible cut-up vocal sample slides in, before Lockjaw adds in his signature drums. Warming notes come up from underneath, as the entire track rocks your world from beginning to end. A true work of art, Idol is amongst Lockjaw’s very best tunes to date, and will bring his music to yet more listeners. A very special track from Lockjaw and Lifestyle.

Eastcolors “Wicked!”
Billain “great”
Proktah “Idol is a massive tune preceeded by an epic intro - must
have!!”

Cold In The Middle is similarly expressive, employing some interesting live-sounding drums and rangy, bubbling samples which veer between future house and classic techstep in style. He then switches things up and drops them down low, injecting the drums and the bass with some out-there effects as well as caressing and disrupting the time signatures. He puts all of his phenomenal skills into the tracks, turning corners and discovering new layers of sound at every opportunity. Get into the vibe of Idol and Cold In The Middle, and let them both seep deep into your veins.

Yet more great music from Lifestyle Recordings, simply one of the best labels out there right now.

DJ Support: Crissy Criss, BTK, Dillinja, Mindscape, The Upbeats, Dara, Cabbie, Gremlinz, Doc Scott, Hybris, DJ Kid, Phase, Maztek, VLTRN, A Cray, Ashattack, Konichi, Slumz Gogz, Magical Gravity, Mista Noize, EastColors, Proktah, Billian, Rregula, Heist.

BREAK

TRACKLISTING:

A. BREAK - COMING 4 U
AA. MAKO - WHAT A LITTLE MOONLIGHT CAN DO [BREAK REMIX]

Vibing off of light, layered keys and female R&B coos, Break gives us a rolling five minutes of pure A-side. Not to be lost in the air, a thickly chopped break plays overtop sub bass as filter resonances enter at the offsides, carefully touching on the interplay of voice and gated percussion. This is a rattling piece that's as much deep house as it is liquid step.

Break's take on Mako's recent Billie Holiday homage bounces its bass and hi-freq drums between two densely layered snare notes. Splices of tape-delayed voice dither off into an empty jazz-space, leaving a heavy analog-sounding synth, motes of vinyl dust and a closing section that fades just before returning to the tonic—ready for the final phase of your mix.

Mako - What A Little Moonlight Can Do (Break Remix) WARM030 *Clip | *Out Sept 8

A-side from my 1st solo vinyl on Renegade Hardware! 

Cygnus Music:
"Enterprise kicks things off with a brooding ambient build up with shards of evil bass signalling the carnage that is soon to follow. Utilising a rolling old school 2-step beat to frame the shadowy atmospheric mastery and the hefty, sub laden, hyperactive, mutant reese bassline."

HWARE32 A - Trilo - Enterprise

Premiere: Two of New Zealand’s biggest drum & bass ambassadors The Upbeats and Shapeshifter collide next month with their SSXUB EP.

Bloodstream is the first track to be aired from this five-track bass explosion which the men behind it describe as “a little bit of everything from both camps”.

Roadtested by both acts throughout the summer at every festival they can shake a dubplate at, they’ve told us it’s caused “some of the most amazing front row screw faces”. Check it out and you’ll understand why.

Bloodstream is released August 22 on Non Vogue & True Tone ahead of the full EP on September 12. You heard it here first!

10 years of experimentation and exploration. 10 years of quality and quantity. 10 years of sublime music from all corners of the world. 10 years of Horizons.
 
10 years ago Horizons Music released their first ever piece of music, a track going by the name of '10 steps', produced by Skitty. Since that epoch making moment, the label has evolved into a staple of the Drum & Bass scene, becoming a byword for consistency and quality in the process. It is therefore fitting that ten years on, some of the labels regulars come together to produce a masterful 14 track album, that encompasses everything Horizons is about.
 
A quick flick through the roster for the album tells you everything you need to know. Stalwarts of the scene Digital and Spirit make both individual and collective appearances, providing their trademark blends of invention and raw energy. Break delivers a quintessential effort and Jubei steps up to bring his own relick to Skitty's '10 steps'. Another remix of Horizon's inaugural release comes courtesy of label regulars 'Amoss – doing the original justice superbly.
 
Amoss also take up their place beside label favourite Nickbee in taking on individual efforts, whilst artists as well renowned as DLR, Need for Mirrors, Mako & Hydro, Silent Witness, Detail and Scar make a strong a line up as you are liable to see on any release this year.
 
Musically, it is Horizons all over. From the Thunderous crunch of 'Outta Time' and 'In the Moment' to the deeper cuts of 'Piano Licks and 'Fields', this is an ode to quality. Add in the brilliant experimentation of music like 'Organic' and 'Keep me in the Loop' and you have an album that is worthy of representing 10 years of Horizons Music.
