Smashing into 2014 with force, EATBRAIN presents it's debut album - Tales of the Undead LP. Featuring an all-star lineup of global drum & bass talent, this compilation is set to make an impact with 18 tracks hand selected by label boss and neurofunk innovator Jade. Truly an international effort, with 23 artists representing 15 countries around the world, newcomers and heavyweights alike have all brought their A-game to the compilation. Their efforts are clear - from the raw, breakneck sounds of Mindscape and Chris.SU to the futuristic beats of Telekinesis, the common denominator is quality. Tales of the Undead sees drum & bass luminaries - names like Maztek, L 33, NC-17, Dabs and Axiom - join the label roster, while rising stars like Disphonia, Qo, Bowsar and many more make powerful statements in their Eatbrain debuts. Not to mention, vocal duties masterminded by the likes of Coppa, 2Shy, Krytpomedic, and Nuklear take the album to the next level. Dark. Deep. Unfiltered. Unrestrained. This is premier neurofunk drum & bass. This is Eatbrain.

Belgian neurofunk powerhouse MINDTECH RECORDINGS bring us their biggest release to date, the PEACE Of MIND LP! Bringing together tracks from heavyweights of the scene like NEONLIGHT, DOSE, CHRIS.SU and NICKBEE alongside up and coming producers like AKOV, OKULI and HELLO DANGER, this is a serious selection of future music from one of the brightest imprints currently in operation.

CHRIS.SU & NICKBEE lead the charge with the epic 'Frozen Forever', massive sci-fi synths on the intro give way to snarling bass and heavy, angular beats at the drop for a track that has been tearing up the clubs across Europe.

Next up comes a deep, deadly stepper from Russian newcomer KIJE. Grimey bass modulations and stripped back beats keep 'Stare Into The Sun' bubbling along nicely.

'Camber' sees RREGULA taking a rare break from his collaborative Zombie Cats project to turn in a dark, minimalistic roller. Punchy sub and ultra precise beats give this one a really moody vibe.

OKULI is up next, taking things to a seriously rowdy level on 'Shift Grip'. Huge kicks and snares punch through the mix around a dirty, squelching bassline, expect to see the crowds bouncing to this one!

German neuro legends NEONLIGHT are on fine form for their entry to the LP, dishing up a gargantuan remix of SKYNET's sampler track 'Disorder', and seriously disorderly it is too! Wobbling bassline rhythms, huge reese swells and funky-ass drum fills combine on a track that will start riots, guaranteed.

Mindtech veteran AXI focuses on groove and atmosphere on 'Exosphere', bringing a hypnotic hint of techno to the neurofunk sound. Bongo rolls and a pulsing technoid groove give this a relentless vibe that will keep the rave simmering away nicely.

'The Awakening' shows ALLIED on fine form, turning in a wicked slice of his unique cinematic style. Atmospheric pads and ethereal vocals on the intro give way to a hyper-kinetic groove powered by rapid fire bass hits and sci-fi stabs.

AKOV returns to Mindtech with a crisp new remaster of previous label favourite 'Mantra' which returns even heavier than before. D&B mastering legend Beau Thomas has given the tune a fantastic new sheen, anyone who missed this gem from the self-styled bear of neurofunk first time around is in for a treat.

Another scene heavyweight is on hand for the Peace of Mind LP, Kiwi producer DOSE brings the heat with a gnarly new remix of OPTIV's 'Stereotype' from Mindtech's very first vinyl release. Retaining the infectious sci-fi lead of the original but switching up the rhythm and throwing in a huge new stab line for extra energy, DOSE has created an absolute monster!

Taking the vibe deeper once again, regular collaborators CRUEL CULTURE & KEOSZ

return to Mindtech with the moody, understated tones of 'Sagitarrius'. Crisp drums and

weighty sub.

Last but by no means least, Russia's HELLO DANGER turns in a huge neuro-jump-up

smasher on 'Hornets'. Classic rolling breaks and an agressive mid-range section to

smash up the dance!

Once again Mindtech are at the cutting edge of drum & bass production with a varied

and forward-thinking selection from some of the best musicians in the scene.

8205 Recordings is ending 2016 with a bang, bringing you The Clash EP' by DJ Renegade (aka DJ Ren of DON FM). The Clash EP' features four tracks of relentless Amiga jungle badness, produced by Ren between 1993 and 1995. Fans of classic Bizzy B / Brain Records material take note: these tunes are RUFF! All four tracks feature massively chopped amens, heavy subs, sinister atmospherics and and that classic Amiga grit that helped define so many tunes of that era.Only one of the four tracks on this EP was ever available before in any format, via an extremely rare and pricey Japanese CD compilation. The other three have never been released at all, and were only heard on dubplate in sets by a select few djs like Equinox (who helped remaster this release), Nut E-1, and of course DJ Ren himself. The Clash EP' will be released December 23d as a hand-stamped black vinyl 12', limited to 300 copies. Each copy of the EP includes a unique download code, providing access to all four tracks in your choice of digital format.Wanna war Alright.... THE CLASH STARTS FROM NOW!

Grab-bag 12' EP of electro, IDM, breaks and house from Montreal via Ottawa producer Riohv (aka Braden Thompson), which follows up the similarly map-jumping 1080-released Moondance' cassette from back in 2014.Finding more confidence and proficiency in his own abilities as a producer, Thompson was able to have a lot more fun and subsequently revise and update his sound to reflect his own tastes in records. The EP was made in one burst in Montreal over the winter and spring.On Green Room, it comes down to creating what he wants to hear—atmosphere through dreamy or moody pads, layered percussive elements, to pay tribute to the euphoria of early rave music.

The Mystic Mood Label and projects released a string of Deep and Liquid Drum and Bass tunes in 1996 and 1997. The label finished of with a project called the Journey, Part 1 & 2 were released but for various reasons Part 3 was never released.

Over the years two of the tracks have been sought after by LTJ Bukem collectors and fans as he had the

Exclusive dubplates in 1997 and featured the tracks on a lot of his mixes during that year including the Jazzier Groove (Skeleton Mix) which was featured in the LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad mix on Pete Tongs BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix 24-03-1996.

The other track LTJ Bukem played ' Cosmic Fusion (Unreleased Original 97 Mix)' was recently released as part of the Basement Phil - Past Present and Future Album and also issued as a 12' Single, alongside the two other Mystic Mood Tracks, Brothers with Soul (aka Mystic Moods and LTJ Bukem) Music is so Special and 'Shak Out (Unreleased Vocal Mix) featuring Mad P from Top Buzz.

After many requests the Mystic Moods Journey Part 3 EP is now available as a double pack 12' featuring the Dub Plate mix and final mixdown with the unreleased 'Naima' & Basement Phils Solo Mix of the Jazz Stepper.

Shadow Cartel draws on his love for the 1996/7 DnB sound' that could be heard at the awesome Blue Note Matalheadz nights of the mid 90s, Dark rolling drums with break edits, Power Bass drops and Techno Riffs all come together over a tearin bassline.
PT2 stays on the dark side of DnB with its rolling drums and power bass but introduces Techno soundscape strings.

This EP from Shadow Cartel features 4 tunes, 'Spirit of Africa' a raw dark roller with heavy Bass leaning on the Dub Step Sound / 'Spirit of the Shadow' harks back to those early 93 Jungle Rollers with its fast edited drums dark bassline and jungle sounds / ''No No No' a dark is a in your face roller with techy stabs pulverising Bass and vocal chorus / Ghost' is a rolling haunting vocal DnB track with Dub Step inspired Riffs and Basslines.

This EP features 4 tracks that are inspired by the early classic 92/93 Rave years.

From the Prodigy inspired ' Everybody in the Place. the techno inspired 'For the Night, Ols Kool roller inspired ' Higher remix and last but not least the dirty riff laden 'Stagger'.

'Feed Me Bass' is a heavy twisted Bass Roller that slaughters the dance floor, and Back With Ur Love is a sweet disco inspired liquid roller laden with sweeping warm strings and vocal hooks designed to make you smile, definitely one for the ladies.

Fokuz Recordings presents: Hateful Eighty. A various artists project featuring remixes and original tracks celebrating the 80th Fokuz Recordings release.

On the first CD we hear Ivy Lab flip Random Movement's ''Sleazy Bitch'' that was released early 2015 into an amen driven roller with hoover subs and techy clicks and stabs. Villem reworks Malaky's ''Falling'' crafting a beautifully restrained deep stepper with a bruiser of a bassline and intricately designed drum work. Grandmaster dBridge shows us minimal, stripped back vibes full of authenticity and soul on his remix for ''Meet You There'' by Facing Jinx feat. Peta Oneir. The original tracks come from Fokuz stalwarts Random Movement, Mindmapper & Silvahfonk, Macca & Loz Contreras, Kasper, Malaky, Satl, Silence Groove and Facing Jinx.

On CD 2 there's a whole bunch of earlier released stellar tracks to be foud including cuts by Need For Mirrors, Vandera, Mr Joseph, Bcee and remixes by Break, Calibre and Lenzman.

CD

* Debut album from Mr Joseph on Liquid V, released on a limited edition 6 track 12" Vinyl complete with full album on CD.

* As a custodian of the authentic Liquid D&B sound, Mr Joseph"s debut album strikes a delicate balance between funk-filled, soulful rollers and deep brooding basslines. The result is an album packed full of different musical textures which, combine seamlessly to create an immersive listening experience.

* Having grown up around the London Sound System culture of the 1980s Mr Joseph was soaking up musical influences from Jazz, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, and Reggae music. All these styles are evident throughout "Inner Haze", which is a melting pot simmering at 174bpm.

* An album that cuts through the dancefloor with ease, but which has enough subtlety and depth for home listening this is a project that will stand up to repeated listens, however don"t be fooled, this is not just a solo affair... Mr Joseph has also collaborated with a host of amazing vocalists and producers to create this debut album. Step forward Youngman, Edward Oberon, T.R.A.C., Deeizm, Kate White, Wednesday Amelia, Identified and Andy Skopes - it"s a real family affair.

* Always known for its deep, forward thinking sounds, 2016 saw Bryan Gee"s Liquid V imprint go from strength to strength.

CW/A are producers Thomas Feriero and Francesco Leali, known for their releases and remixes on Parachute, R&S, Decca and Vakant, their work as Avatism, Clockwork, Opus 3000 and House ov Leaves, crushing live shows around the globe and running Parachute alongside DJ Tennis since 2013.
With 'Ringleader' the duo return with their first original productions since their debut full length, last year's critically acclaimed 'Words Unspoken, Acts Undone.'
Inspired by global trends towards Orwellian mass surveillance and cyber espionage, 'Ringleader' aims to be an audible interpretation of big data, ubiquitous connections and the acceptance of corporate and government spying. Grim and mechanical by nature, the six tracks - named after leaked codenames of government tools used to watch on citizens - work as a soundtrack to the destruction of privacy: a cold reflection on this aspect of society and it's implications.

* Chronic Rollers returns for the third instalment of the Rollers series where you'll find more upfront underground D&B mixed by L-Side on this strictly limited edition CD - only 500 copies being pressed ever!

* Chronic Rollers Vol.3 raises the bar yet again, delivering 21 of the finest cuts of dancefloor D&B.

* From its beginnings as an undercover outlet for some of the scenes biggest names Chronic has always kept its feet firmly on the dancefloor. As tastes and styles have evolved over the years the label has moved keeping on step ahead of
the trends.

* This projects finds a host of new names joining forces with established artists to produce what can only be described as raw, uncompromising Drum & Bass. Switching between straight up rollers, deeper darker beats and dancefloor smashers.

* This whole collection is mixed to perfection by someone we're tipping to be one of the biggest new names in D&B in 2017 - L-Side. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, a city with a rich history of bass music pioneers, L-Side signed to the V camp in 2016, and has sneaked out a few choice cuts whilst working on his debut album, and this project offers a taster of one of the styles that make up the L-Side sound.

* The label itself was launched back in 1996 by Bryan Gee, rapidly established itself as a purveyor of the biggest dancefloor tunes. Featuring a discography of rave-destroying tracks from the likes of Dillinja, Roni Size, DJ Die, Ray Keith and more, Chronic has smoked dancefloors across the globe with its unique brand of raw D&B, and with this new collection about to drop, this won't be stopping anytime soon!.

* Very excited to welcome back Dub Phizix to Metalheadz, arguably one of the biggest artists in drum n bass delivers an impeccable release. The last time he graced the label was with Skeptical on Platinum Breakz 4 and its great to have him back, two tailor made tracks that fit the Headz vibe perfectly.

The Ram Records 2017 Drum & Bass Annual doesn't just stand as a testament to the imprint. After working over two decades within the genre, standing at its forefront and delivering piece after piece of ground-breaking dance music, they're immortalising their twenty fifth anniversary with the biggest drum & bass compilation to be released since the label's inception. Featuring a massive 60 tracks, with every name who's trail-blazed this year's must have releases, prepare to be thrown into the world of drum & bass like never before. With cuts from head honcho Andy C, as well as Symmetry's underground boss Break, neuro pioneers Noisia and break through artists such as Urbandawn, Voltage and many more, this LP caters to a range of palettes. A huge spectrum of sound is covered by the album, giving a glimpse into every corner of the genre's entirety and delivering the finest cuts seen over the past twelve months.

Asbo Records inaugurates a series of 12" releases celebrating the iconic mid 90s jungle label Joker Records with this 3 Piece Vinyl L.P that sees 12 classics from Joker founders The Dream Team get 12 contemporary but still eminently junglist remixes. For the uninitiated

Ghost present the second ep on their own imprint Goldman Records. Whether exploring the depths on headphones, or shaken by the bass in the middle of a packed dancefloor, 41:39 Deeper takes you on a musical excursion from start to
finish.
Brought to you on unique, hand painted sleeves and in two different colours, this EP is available on 2 x 12" Vinyl with download code.

* 'Corners' is the return to Horizons Music and the return to drum & bass in its dancefloor form for the genius that is Naibu. After a rather leftfield 170 bpm album last year, titled 'Case Study' and released on Scientific Records, this is a hugely anticipated release.

* It's a fusion of most of Naibu's influences, old and new, from all corners of the dnb spectrum, in a contemporary way. You'll hear some Metalheadz in tracks like 'Burning' and 'Traces', some Exit in 'The Way You Turn' and 'Les Soirées', some Soul:R in 'Heartgold', some Calibre in 'No Return', some Pieter K and Certificate 18 in 'Corners'. A workout of sound that's weighty, musically modern, and of apparent simplicity, best demonstrated in tracks like 'The Way You Turn' and 'Heartgold', which really represent the sound Naibu likes to push right now.

* As far as production is concerned, again, it's a handcrafted, homemade affair. It's all sample-free (to the exception of the vocal loop in 'Les Soirées') and everything's been written, performed, recorded, designed and edited at home.

* 'Burning' features guitarist Jean Gros, who provided Naibu with some very nice atmospheric electric guitars and folk guitar. This track is a tribute to late 90s Rufige Kru, with epic 2 mins intro, reminiscent of 'Beach Drifta', dropping into some dancefloor mayhem.

* In the same fashion 'Traces' was a direct Metalheadz influence, mixed with a touch of FKA Twigs type flavours.

* Apart from these two tracks, everything else goes a little bit deeper and really aims at carrying a solid groove, trying to keep the tracks to their bare minimum, essential elements. We hope this is music you can lock into and lose yourself to.

This year sees Total Science celebrate the 20th birthday of their CIA Records label. Known as a breeding ground for new and exciting producers, as well as a platform for bonafide legends of the scene to release their tracks, two decades down the line, the label continues to consistently release great music. To help celebrate this impressive landmark, Total Science will release the CIA 20' LP this summer.

A sampler drops first on 3rd June announcing the project in style. Three killer tracks come on vinyl, with a digital bonus wrapping up the package.

Q Project's Champion Sound' was one of the most important and iconic tracks of the early 90's rave scene. The track's hook is instantly recognisable and it's bassline consistently takes dancefloors apart. For the sampler it's given a 2016 update by one of Drum & Bass' most technically gifted and astute producers, DLR. He's managed to maintain the essence of the track, while giving it a serious update. Since it's first airing on BBC Radio 1, the remix has taken the scene by storm and will be heard reverberating in clubs worldwide for months to come.

Calibre graces the label once again, with another trademark slice of musical goodness.Under Bars' is classic Calibre - rolling, harmonic, understated gracefulness, it's a track that shows exactly why he is one of the most respected producers in contemporary Drum & Bass.

Label owners Total Science also step up to the plate with Respect Due'. It showcases the trademark style the guys are so well known for, classic but tightly produced breaks, ravey bleeps and vocals, and yet another club and sound system punishing bassline.

12" + 7"

The limited version includes the previously released 7" 'Deformer' single 'Dystopia / The Smackdown'

SICKNOTE is the alias for Lewis Joyce's solo work as a DJ, producer and recording artist.

Stepping outside of the shadows of the G.H.O.S.T collective for his first release on Skeleton Recordings.

Sicknote also has on going collaborations with Dissect, Jay Bionic and Horrific Recordings.

Dedicated to the original art form, he's a vinyl and dubplate collector with the well-trained ears of an experienced live sound engineer.

His sound is tough, uncompromising and true to the source - drums upfront and bass down low!

You can catch Lewis with his regular Tuesday night slot on Rude FM as well as numerous appearances playing at gigs in and around London.

SCM - Beautiful sounding intro with a superb breakdown, dropping into some serious beats & bass before

switching up into a classic Amen layered with some heavy distorted effects.

Electric High - Hard stepping breakbeats wrapped around a nasty bass stab! The atmosphere from the offset puts you instantly in the zone.

Hitchcock - With an intro sounding like an old black & white thriller it was named Hitchcock for that very reason. An original composition that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A throwback to the edgy and experimental days of the 1970's. Utter filth!

FDX006 takes us on a version excursion, Threshold takes us on an unforgettable journey through Drum and Bass via Trench Town Jamaica. This man's musical heritage and reggae dub collection have had a clear impact on these four crucial cuts. From working with Breakage over the last 10 years on Reinforced and Digital Soundboy, to Special Branch on Ray Keith's Penny Black, to his own Dub Clinique label and previous releases on FDX skilled craftsman Threshold brings some depth charge business and we felt it only right to give the EP a fitting dub influenced, picture disc, shrink wrapped presentation.

SCANDAL - Super low subs and rolling breaks twisted up in inimitable Threshold style are seasoned with choice vocal samples and dub blips to cause a rumpus dedicated to all chatty mouth people....

FUK RI - No holds barred heavyweight amen choppage to kill all the fuk ri out there. People is sick and tired of hearing bumbaclart get down shit seen....

EASE OFF - What make it so ruff Threshold's steaming amen and Gregory and Dennis in a combination style probably has something to do with it!

MI RARSE - The final chapter of the EP features an angry patois vocal punctuating a rolling break, both of which have had a serious dose of echo chamber thrown at them, a riddim to clean ya pussyclart bathroom too...

* Integral 036 sees a landmark release for the label. As we approach the ten year mark since the original platform was launched, head honchos Artificial Intelligence finally deliver their debut original production to the imprint and it's been well worth the wait! Three fresh fire tracks demonstrate the heavyweights' versatile and ever consistent sound.
* Kicking off this spectacular EP in style, the organic future soul sounds of 'Nobody' instantly capture. Vibing hooks right from the get go ooze through epic piano chords, heavy bass, ethereal breakdowns and a sublime vocal sliced to perfection. Pure class!

* Next up, 'Definition' is heavyweight DJ dancefloor goodness. Enigmatic, atmospherics reminiscent of the orient layer over slamming breaks and a deadly bass riff to boot. Techy flavours pumped with mass attitude are designed for peak time. Did anyone say rewind...!

* The final vinyl AA and title track 'Dreams of Freedom' is a stunning piece instantly commanding anthem status. It's got it all. A mesmerising intro, massive soulful energy, epic breakdowns, a sublime vocal and immaculate drum programming. This one really makes your whole body move! Beautifully encapsulting heightened heartfelt emotions, this is next level classic A.I.: warm bass and powerful musicality with that signature underlying deadly bass groove that fans know all too well.

Brooklyn's Tour de Force (TDF) begin 2016 with an update to one of their best, and most loved, dubplate weapons. Soundboy Prayer was written in late 2013 and has spent the past few years as a centerpiece of TDF sets, wreckin' havoc on the Dub-Stuysystem with its iconic Johnny Osbourne vocal sample, trampling horns, and dark melodies. Consistent support from DJs and crowd reaction convinced TDF to dust off the riddim and give it a full release. The official 12' refreshes the production with added bass weight, a new arrangement, and a cavernous dub version.

Backing the original and its dub are two remixes from producers within the worldwide sound system community whose approach echoes TDF's blend of reggae and bass music. Chopstick Dubplate's Jacky Murda, who has worked with Barrington Levy, Top Cat, and Johnny Osbourne himself, was a natural fit to capture the junglist vibe of the original and turn it into an energetic jungle remix that begs for the rewind. Poland'sRadikal Guru, one of the brightest lights of the European dub community, provides the second remix, keeping things dubby and nice with a blend of reggae and dubstep that emphasises catchy string melodies and a weighty bass line. Radikal Guru's approach to blending traditions has been an inspiration for us,' says TDF Q-Mastah, so he was a natural choice for this release.'

Oliver Reissig aka Deskai, hailing from Paris and currently residing in Berlin, is no stranger to the drum & bass game. A devoted drummer, a skilled DJ, and a talented producer, drawing heavily on the aesthetics of the sound of the 1990s, with his releases gaining recognition among e.g. LTJ Bukem, Blu Mar Ten, John B, Seba, Stunna, Future Engineers, Electrosoul System, LM1, Tidal, Mav, Rogue State, Method One, or PBK (to name a few), he's now about to serve you his latest EP called 'Atemporal', released on a limited 12" on Mav's 'Scientific Records'. The EP is a powerful combination of fast-paced and roughedged atmospheric d'n'b, heavy-drummed, take-no-prisoners rollers, and hazy jungle excursions; a pack to deal a heavy blow and leave you craving for more, to put it in a nutshell. If you're after something fresh and exciting yet with a pleasantly familiar touch at the same time, look no further and hop aboard this train heading straight and directly to the land of 170 BPM.

Moonshine Recordings continues to coordinate dub into all sorts of directions with its steady throughput of vinyl releases. This time around, it's the Spanish-based Bukkha to uplift all followers with two up-tempo rollers that take part in his crucial 'Ruling Sound' EP. His name has been all over the news inside bass culture lately, as the American released highly noted physical music on critical labels like Killa Sound and Dub-Stuy Records. He's been working his way to the top and the only thing the Moonshine Recordings imprint can do is support his efforts in pushing dub music to the masses at any given moment of the day.
On top of this wicked news, Portland's dub producer and engineer 'Skelli Skel' joins this session to frame the taste of the 'PDX Mandem' collective from back home. His love for complex rhythms and heavy bass lines fuel his adventure inside dub culture, something you'll hear when listening to 'MS028'. And with the familiar voice from don Junior Dread, who jumps in on the hype by illuminating the dub with carefully selected freedom of speech, it's the collaboration that speaks for itself. To top it all, TMSV is added to the release roster, a producer whose been dealing some serious damage with his inventive music repertoire. Whether it's music on the darker tip, or the more laidback sound, both Bukkha and TMSV know how to uplift and please their followers with bass-heavy, eardrums-teasing bass music.
Bukkha's 'Ruling Sound' leads his way through musicality by portraying the right balance of instruments and not to mention the gigantic bassline that disperses vibrantly through the lower bottom of the mix. The reigning vocal support from Junior Dread and dub techniques from PDX Mandem family Skelli Skell work out fantastically, as it makes this record come to life. Listen to the instrumental part that propagates in the exact sense of 'dub music', regardless of spinning on a higher beats per minute. The version 'Ruling Dub' by Bukkha himself plays a more meditative part inside your headspace; a clipping where basslines and effects will act up in a blurred version. It's the real attention to detail the American producer shares with remix boss TMSV, who hits fans with a darker joint that pays homage to Drum & Bass. It's aggressive stance forms the pinnacle of 'the right' B-side of a Moonshine Recordings plate. Just make sure you experience the second drop of this absolutely mammoth interpretation, as TMSV shuts down the place!
