Daft Punk - Doin' It Right (City 17 Remix)

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Drumsound & Bassline Smith - TECH 100

RELEASE DATE: 29th December 2013

Technique Recordings have hit their century. One hundred releases couldn’t be passed over without something just a little bit special. Fortunately the label’s bosses happen to be one of the biggest D&B acts in the world, so to mark a monumental occasion, Drumsound & Bassline Smith have stepped up with a monumental release.

They roll straight in with Nicaragua. Ominous samples evoke a sense of foreboding before percussive synths ratchet up the tension even further. When the release of the drop strikes, you’re in dancefloor mayhem territory.

Then Serious Business delivers a love letter to the days when jungle ruled the raves. A reggae- infused intro is a signal for true heads to blaze up their lighters before full-on Amen pressure ensues. Classic samples are woven in to bring the sound of the acetate plate into the future.

Breakin’ Badboy goes a shade darker. Horror-flick orchestral stabs mark out time in the intro before siren synth-bleeps signal the nuclear meltdown of the drop. Dark drama with scientific precision, just like Walter White would have wanted.

Next, Neighbourhood combines state of the art production and classic dubby jungle into one spaced-out, step-switching monster. This is one to draw for to take the rave into some heads-down sub-worshipping skunking.

For Tech 100, Drumsound & Bassline Smith have provided a true reflection of the label’s place in the scene. Their pedigree stretches back into the nineties underground combined with mainstream relevance, respect to the old skool mixed with future production skills. With these elements to draw on, Technique Recordings have clearly got another big century of releases ahead.

What a year it’s been for Loadstar. Exceeding every possible expectation with their debut album ‘Future Perfect’ in May 2013, the duo won critical props and appreciation from every possible corner: from The Guardian to Mixmag, Hype to High Contrast, MTV to Radio 1… Love for Loadstar has been overwhelming. 

Naturally the love goes both ways. Here the Bristol duo provide an early Christmas reboot bundle, bringing 2013 to a fittingly heavy climax. Six remixes in total (two digital exclusives from a heavily subscribed RAM remix competition) the package features D&B reversion’s from some of the label’s most talented artists. 

First up is a remix from Loadstar themselves. Flipping the switch on their electro-bass burn-up ‘Losing You’, they ante up with pummelling drum dynamics and a bassline that screams bona fide murderation. True subversive heavyweightism. 

Up next, ‘Need You’. It began as a turbo-charged techno monster. Now, under the careful spell of Frankee, it’s a rush-coated, star-gazing roller built on a solid bed of bass textures. Twinkling and terrorising in equal measure, Frankee once again shows why he’s been rated as one of drum & bass’s brightest prospects. 

Those hungry for jugular-focused damage should jump on DC Breaks’ take on ‘Give It To Me’. Riddled with insane levels of energy and attitude, this is strictly peaktime business right here, confirming the duo’s current do-no-wrong status. 

Rene LaVice is also on chop-slapping form with his incendiary rub. Processing the demonic dubsteppy intentions of the original into a rocket-powered stepper, it has the sound (and impact) of someone setting fire to entire firework factory and running off at full speed. Genuine audio damage. 

Finally we have two digital exclusives. Swotting off the competition from hundreds of fellow hopefuls, both Ality and Abstr4ct are more than well-deserved winners. Ality adds oceanic sheet metal textures to the bass that’s neatly countered by tight weaves of dreamy synths while Abstr4ct takes the original’s distinctive paranoid riff and galvanises it with an iced out, steppy riddim and an array of system-blowing glitches. It’s so heavy Andy C included it on his recent ‘Nightlife 6’ mix. 

Six remixes, six reminders of Loadstar’s raw power. The perfect way to end a future perfect year…

Logistics - Murderation

Anyone who’s been paying attention in the last six months will know that Ram Records is having yet another incredible year. A worldwide dance music institution, Andy C and Scott Bourne’s record label has gone from strength to strength, having nurtured a plethora of the bass music scene’s most exciting artists over the last two decades.

One such artist is Culture Shock. A Ram Records star since his debut release in 2006, this incredible producer has collaborated with Sub Focus and Brookes Brothers and remixed Nero’s ‘Guilt’ and Netsky’s brand new single ‘Come Alive’ into veritable drum & bass anthems. Meanwhile his solo productions have turned dance floors across the globe upside down thanks to his powerful productions and inimitable approach to D&B.

Here Culture Shock follows up last year’s ‘Protection’ with another stunning single that’s sure to please fans of his unique style. ‘I Remember’ is progressive dance floor drum & bass at its finest. Gradually building and growing, pulling you in gently and never letting go, this track is the perfect balance of beautiful musicality and effortless, uninhibited energy. Fans of Culture Shock’s sound will be instantly infatuated with this one.

Meanwhile ‘Troglodyte’ demonstrates Culture Shock’s deeper and darker side perfectly. Rolling and bouncing along with a squelching bassline and chopped up vocal snippets this Caveman style skull smasher threatens to bash anything in its path with an immense bassline club, expertly crafted for maximum floor-shaking damage.

Over the last 4 years since joining the Viper Recordings family, 25-year old Tom Mundell's career has been on an acute upward curve. Hailing from London town, Tom Mundell, aka Metrik officially joined the bass music elite with the release of his "Between Worlds" EP which featured killer joints such as 'T-2000', 'Genesis', 'I See You ft. Kathy Brown' and 'Between Worlds' which launched his status far and wide around the globe, and gaining huge support from the DnB & Dubstep hierarchy.

Metrik's productions have been smashing up some of the worlds best events and his tracks have been taking over the airwaves with names such as Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, and Fearne Cotton becoming big fans of the Metrik sound! 

With so many of his own tunes in heavy rotation, Metrik has been in high demand as of late on the remix front with artists such as Eric Prydz, Camo & Krooked, John B, Swedish House Mafia, Ayah Marar, and Rockwell all knocking at his door, as well as his upcoming remix of DJ Fresh's new single 'The Feeling' on Ministry of Sound.

The vibes just keep on flowing at the PROGRAM HQ…

Battering our way into the new year with a quartet of forward-thinking grooves, the label’s sixth release is chock-a-block with floor busters.

Nitri ignites proceedings with stealth-like prowess. Opening with a series of infectious clicks and whirrs, his engine purrs with a pensive funk that isn’t realised fully until the delicious vocal and bassline bounce kick in. The epitome of a contemporary roller, this stripped back groove attack has been a highlight of Andy C’s sets for the past few months, causing major commotions amongst both the raving crew and fellow DJs whenever he drops it.

Audio & Meth follow. And they do so with an almighty switch-flip. Hot on the heels of their monstrous ‘Gamma’ on Audio’s latest album ‘Soul Magnet’, the duo continue to strut their heavyweight co-lab stuff with ‘Alone’. Drenched in drama and grizzling bass tears, ‘Alone’ opens with a cavalcade of haunting horns before dropping into an all-out filth workout. Spitting snub-nosed sonics, it’s like the late 90s all over again… But with production skills our last-century D&B forefathers could only dream of.

Up next: Eastcolors who’s served up a track that’s in grave danger of literally living up to its title. ‘Murderer’ harbours a bassline so deadly it could bump your dancefloor to death with its endless mutations and manipulations. Sprung with a fine-tuned funk and arranged with dynamite dynamics, this is one murder case all dancefloor detectives want to solve.

It’s down to Paul B to bring this speaker-smashing set to a fitting conclusion. A dab-hand at this D&B game since the turn of the century, ‘Drop By Drop’ shows just why the Russian artist is widely regarded as ‘the producer’s producer’. A funky fusion of minimal and electro and classical reference points, it’s a roller that just keeps on giving on every listen. Simple but outrageously effective, it’s an exemplary lesson in how to make a nagging hook.
It’s time to get with the program!

‘Streetknowledge’

Sweeping dystopian pads and rolling, progressive keys set a reflectively ominous tone in ‘Streetknowledge.’ Moving
towards its climax, the scattered drum arrangement and precision mid-swipes shatter the air of foreboding as a
stepping kick-snare couplet allows the laser-gun funk to dominate, highlighting Fourward’s comfort in meticulous,
carefully constructed and deconstructed arrangements.

‘Take You Higher’… it’s a promise all DJs make each and every time they set foot behind the decks. No matter what genre, style or flavour, the dark art of elevation is THE core premise of all electronic music. It’s the holy grail of dancefloor science… And Wilkinson has been studying it for years.

Living up to his promise, ‘Take You Higher’ is an instant turbo boost for all corners of the dance. Igniting with a half step so emotive you can imagine a boxer walking down to the ring to its hype-fuelled strut, we’re soon dropped into a climactic synth hook, quintessential rave vocal and surging well-bodied power-bass. 

So sharp it can shave a man from fifty paces, so euphoric it can instigate a spine-tingle from fifty miles, ‘Take You Higher’ is soaked in undiluted drama that’s specifically designed to drive your crowd well beyond the all-important ‘next level’.  

Always keen to paint a full picture across his releases, Wilkinson’s also served up ‘Crunch’. A darker, more driving slab of drum & bass, ‘Crunch’ thrusts with a sneering, searing bassline and just the perfect amount of synth-aided uplift. Armed with one of the most electric build ups he’s done to date, it’s yet another example of Wilkinson’s ability to take the dancefloor to places so high they didn’t even know they existed. 

Both ‘Take You Higher’ and ‘Crunch’ act as a promising tease for Wilkinson’s forthcoming debut album. Due for release later this year, it’s set to showcase the rich vein of form the young producer is hitting at the moment. And there’s more…  

Proof, if it’s needed, that the art of taking you higher is essential in all genres, Ram Records have complemented Wilkinson’s breath-taking original with two spectacular remixes. First up, the fast-rising future bass merchant Jakwob:  fusing the finest aspects of garage and underground house, he’s dropped the tempo but paid maximum respect to the theatrical character of the original. With a crisp array of infectious percussive elements and the perfect dosage of minor-key sobriety, it’s fuelled by so much emotion it might just take you too high! 

Next up: Foamo. With a repertoire that includes on-point house labels such as Moda and Skint, he’s been fuelling generation bass with unpredictable slices of dancefloor dynamite since 2008. Lounging in low-end luxury, his debut remix for Ram Records pays homage to years of London house heritage; shuffling with a gorgeous chugging groove and a slight nod to the deeper shades of speed garage movement, like the original, this will sing to many different DJs… Each one of them looking to live up to their promise: taking you higher!

Boss Wave (James Marvel Remix)

Taking ‘Boss Wave’ into DnB territory, the James Marvel remix initially retains much of the flavor of the original track but in addition to switching up the bpm also adds tearing sections of acidic bass to make this a clipped dancefloor smasher which will instantly stand out within the mix. It must also be added, that at the end of the track (and straight from the leftfield) comes a quite beautiful solo piano rendition of ‘Boss Wave’ (played by James Marvel himself). If this is the first time you have heard of James Marvel, then feel privileged, this is the start of something very exciting.
