Liquid vol 3

Ruth Royall

Dnb - Sept 2021

A defining member of the hardcore techno scene in the early nineties and stretching his influence across a range of sub genres, from jungle to house music, there’s not one section of the cultural shifts since then which Nookie hasn’t seeped his influence into. Whether it’s been pivotal moments on imprints such as Labello Blanco, Reinforced, Moving Shadow or Good Looking, he’s proven the span of his creativity with every track he’s released across a plethora of labels. This continues with a brand-new single on Metalheadz, extending across an array of styles and a natural progression from his acclaimed remix of Goldie’s ‘Inner City Life’.

Ahead of Nookie's highly anticipated album dropping on Headz imminently, In-Reach are proud to premiere 'Kaeya' the D&B mix.

Whilst a new name to many, Acuna had his first release on Chronic way back in 2009! After a long hiatus from D&B and making music he returned with a fresh energy in 2020 and we're really excited about the sounds coming out of his studio. This brand new EP perfectly captures why we're tipping Acuna as a breakthrough name in 2021; the combination of gritty dancefloor basslines, sweet soulful vocals and collaborations with L-Side, 2Shy and David Boomah make this an all-star cast and cement his return. 

Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil and part of a tight knit group of friends who have burst on to the scene like Alibi (DJ Chap & Level 2), L-Side, Critycal Dub (which he was an original member), Andrezz and more, Acuna is making waves now in his own right and this EP will be on heavy rotation all summer long!

Following up from his widely acclaimed debut solo album on Hospital Records, that marked his tenth year as a solo artist, Voltage returns to the south London drum & bass label with a four-track EP of fresh remixes and VIPs of some of the finest cuts from ‘Balance Over Symmetry’. Originally released in September of 2020, the legacy of the album transcends into 2021 with a dose of extra sonic input from Serum, Waeys and Harriet Jaxxon.

Souped Up label owner and fellow member of the powerhouse supergroup Kings Of The Rollers, Serum steps up to offer his tantalising remix of ‘Natty Love’ featuring the groove inducing vocals of sound system legend Sweetie Irie. Hypnotising steel drums, a pounding bassline and rolling drumwork amalgamate into a straight drum & bass heater.

Dutch native and bubbling talent Waeys is up next as he injects his signature deep and dark sound into Voltage’s ‘Life Of A DJ’ featuring reggae and dancehall superstar Demolition Man known for his skill as a vocalist, producer, MC and sound engineer. With a healthy selection of releases under his belt on scene staple imprints including Critical, Shogun Audio, Blackout Music, Skankandbass and Overview, expect clinical precision and a serious amount of groove.

Quickly rising to the top of the drum & bass ranks, Harriet Jaxxon’s remix of ‘Save Me From Myself’, originally featured on Hospital Records’ 25th anniversary compilation ‘H25PITAL’, includes tearout amens and a vibe-packed wobbling bassline as she continues to make her mark as a top-tier producer and DJ.

Last not but least, Voltage is on VIP duties for the EP’s fourth and final track. Revisiting the sombre album original ‘Endless Dreaming’ featuring the stunning vocals of the Bulgarian Goddess. Voltage demonstrates just one of the many talents he is loved for - being able to inject a fresh lease of life into an already amazing drum & bass anthem. Eerie synth hiss, an 808 distorted to perfection and drums which seamlessly cut through the mix, Voltage pulls it out the bag once again.

With releases on foundational imprints such as Metalheadz, 31 Recordings, RAM, Souped Up and Spearhead to name a few, Voltage’s discography speaks for itself in laying down his decade worth of experience within drum & bass. Support for his productions comes flooding in from a range of influential selectors including Andy C, Hype, Friction, Goldie, Bailey, Hazard and Bryan Gee, it’s safe to say that 10 years of Voltage has been a remarkable decade, and As the UK looks to reopening later this year, expect to find Voltage at a multitude of shows and festivals including hosting his Royal Rumble stage at Hospitality Weekend In The Woods as part of Kings Of The Rollers, as well as their sell-out show at Printworks in November, Parklife, Detonate Festival and more.

Techtonics - Tokyo Rain

Undeniably one of the hardest working human beings in music right now, Ruth Royall’s name is one that you simply must be familiar with. Since her debut release ‘Real Hearts’ with Chris Munky back in 2017, the Bristol-based musician has been blessing beats with her signature soulful sound and jazz-infused melodies. Her influences stem from far and wide, including Jungle, Snarky Puppy, The Nextmen and D’Angelo to name a few. ‘Running In The Dark’ saw her collaborate with Soulvent co-founders Pola & Bryson on their 2019 ‘Pacific’ EP, and the songstress has since continued to pump out high-quality music across a whole host of genres and labels. From Hospital to Viper, Shogun to Soulvent, Rampage to MURKT and more. We are incredibly excited to host her first 4-track foray on the label, and trust us, it was certainly worth the wait! 

Opener ‘New Love’ sees Ruth link up with the Japanese mastermind producer behind ‘Spread Love (feat. Pete Simpson)’ & the ‘Tomodachi Sessions’ LP: the ever-present & well-respected Makoto. The track opens with warming rhodes and smooth, calming pads - all the while our Bristollian’s rousing, relatable lyrics & rich harmonies weave through the dense aural layers present. The result is an uplifting marvel; a heady love song full of butterflies and a smitten teenage optimism.

Next up, our protagonist partners with Goldfat founder, Hospital affiliate and seasoned producer Mitekiss. Continuing to build on their fruitful musical partnership, ‘Ricochets’ is a sultry, sophisticated breakbeat number complete with tight drums, fluid bass and emotive strings. The call and response vocal elements present in the chorus build a comforting, hypnotic atmosphere while the raw tone and measured delivery of the verses display a firm knowledge of dynamics and timbre. 

The penultimate track on the EP is a slightly further afield link-up, as our good friends & Las Vegas locals Blacklab deliver the goods on ‘Mind Over Matter’. The punchy drums and Break-inspired, wobbly bass on the drop offer a satisfying, contrasting, down-right-screw-face-inducing moment in this iridescent, vocal-laden extended player.  

Finally, we’re treated to an acoustic reprise of ‘Ricochets’ that is more akin to the initial demo version which birthed the song. This stripped-back iteration provides the listener with a raw representation of the undeniably catchy songwriting and skillful production that permeate this 4-track wonder. 

Arriving in all good stores on Friday the 3rd of Septmember, add Ruth Royall’s vivid, vibrant ‘Colours’ EP to your musical palette. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed!

Out now on cassette + digital download: microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/tudes-2008-2013

Taken from ‘Études 2008-2013’ LP by @Bop.

"All tracks on this album were written between 2008 and 2013 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. It was a time of early experimentation with micro-sound and an exploration of different aspects of my musical identity.

«Étude» is an instrumental composition often designed to perfect a particular musical skill. Whilst making these songs I have been discovering and practicing new techniques. Be it mindful glitch-programming, sampling dad’s jazz records, or testing limits of the simplest FL Studio synth 3xOSC. The main goals were pretty much the same every time, to find fresh formulas and unusual patterns for new audio experiences.

Some of the tracks were made before signing to Med School (Searching The Truth, Microfunk, Phantasmagoria). Some were not included in my first three albums for one reason or another (Banana Electro Bebop Jam, I’m Not A Human, Dub Forest, Punk’s Not Dead). Projects for ‘Insight’, ‘Galactic Glider’, ‘Trash Bin Galaxy’ were lost, and so I used the latest found rendered versions here.

Genre-wise this album is quite broad. From ambient and experimental dub to wonky jazzy hip-hop and post dubstep. But, despite the diversity of the material I think it still has a strong identity and tells a complete musical story, from our first minimalist manifesto ‘Microfunk’ and deep leftfield drum & bass rollers, to more experimental twisted and sometimes dark ideas on the B side.

Thank you for your support and I hope you find this musical journey interesting." — Bop
