Mortem & Harland - Proximity / The Same

We are proud to present to you our next dnb-themed vinyl release, which comes with two absolutely fantastic deep-bassed and crisp-beated rollers. In the case of this record, we can speak of a small Polish invasion, as both tracks have been written and produced by two Polish supertalents - Mortem, who has been making big waves in the dnb industry for some time already, and Harland - an established Warsaw-based event promoter and DJ, and a now-upcoming producer, teaming up with Mortem on the flipside. Starting off with Mortem's 'Proximity', you'll surely appreciate his trademark to-the-point drumwork and clear basslines, adorned with intriguing vocal inserts and growling synths. 'The Same', with its quick-paced hi-hats, riveting synthetic melody, and spacious bassline, is surely more dancefloor-oriented, but still fits the deeper side of dnb perfectly, making this record as a whole a very welcome addition to the Absys family.

Friske - Temperamental Ep

* Requisite (DLR & Ant TC1 Rmx)
Cohorts DLR and Ant TC1 take on Friske's Requisite, one of his first releases for the label back in 2013, the pair turn into an almost Black Science Labs era roller. Sharpened drums roll out accented by the detroit techno-esque stabs. The bass gives momentum to proceedings and a fine way to kick off the release.

*Temperamental
Friske's comes with a straight to the point stepper for the second track on the release, a classic Headz track in that it creates a mood instantly. A perfect mid set track for the DJs, it allows for long mixes and a heads down moment for the dancers

*Down
A drifting half time trarck that Friske has become deft at making. It nods at golden era jungle whilst retaining the production quality of today.

Keeno - Preludes Ep

Preludes Ep

12inchMEDIC47EP
Med School
16.04.2015

* Following from his highly acclaimed debut album 'Life Cycle', Keeno puts forward his latest cinematic masterpiece on Med School with the 'Preludes' EP. A stunning reminder of Keeno's ability to infuse classically trained skill with modern day production, resulting in a four-track collection of uncompromised elegance - a must-have.
* Fulfilling Keeno's reputation for soothing the soul of drum and bass, the up-tempo drums and hypnotic, male-led vocal of 'One More Moment' provides four minutes of effortless listening. 'Origin' delivers a delicate balance of prominent piano chords and enrapturing bass lines, whilst like a wave of silver shadow 'The Moon Under the Water' provides the epitome of refined, liquid luxury.

* Alongside fellow Med School classmate Whiney, Keeno has created a truly piece of music to round of the EP. 'Dignity Found' possesses a gentle intermittence of percussions, high-pitched string sections and expert intertwining of blissful melodies before dropping into a call and response of anthemic vocal echoes and euphoric, electric guitar.

* Since hitting Med School's radar in 2013 and the release of his stunning debut album, 'Life Cycle', there's been no shortage of support for young Will Keen, already with three well-deserved award nominations, most notably 'Best Album' at the 2013 Drum & Bass Arena Awards.

* With all four tracks fitting together like a perfectly completed puzzle, this EP is sure to draw in a new surge of devoted listeners, all the while ensuring guaranteed satisfaction for any preceding Keeno fan. As the title suggests, the 'Preludes' EP gives an apt introduction of what's to come in 2015; clearly the future is very bright for this young Med School talent.

Mikal - Wilderness

Wilderness

CDMETACD007
Metalheadz
07.02.2016

* Mikal is a producer who has made a name for himself by making stand out drum & bass tracks that have caught the attention of DJs and listeners alike, he has released on a multitude of labels but it is Metalheadz that are releasing his debut album.

* The album is called 'Wilderness' and it was very much worth the wait. A no nonsense statement of intent from the Bristol based produced who has been quietly working away in his studio and is now ready to show the world his work, collaborations on the album come from Chimpo, Xtrah, Break, RIOT and Sophie Barker.

* The sound of the album is streamlined with a focus on low end sonic frequencies. It takes the fundamentals of jungle but none of the clichés, the execution is firmly rooted in 2016.
* We'll leave Goldie to have the last say on Wilderness:
* "Mikal is the silent assassin of the Headz camp and when i signed him i knew the potential he had in him- this album is the full realisation of that potential. He's worked very hard at perfecting his craft and i'm very happy to hear it. His inversion of DnB culture has always excited me, the dub element is something that resonates with me as a missing part to the puzzle in the Headz camp"

Nymfo & Btk - Don't Stop / Top Secret / Ship Wrecked

* Lining up a label debut with Dutch DJ and producer Nymfo, for HWARE037. The release holds in store three huge tracks from the multi- award winning musician. Nymfo's career highlights have been many and varied, with worldwide successes on Commercial Suicide, Metalheadz and Critical Modulations, nights in his native Netherlands, and support from the likes of Goldie, Friction, Fabio, Hype and many, many more.
Now is the time for HWARE037, as Nymfo continues to develop his sound, finding new avenues for expression and new ways of delivering his trademark techno-edged drum & bass.

* On Don't Stop Nymfo teams up with label stalwart BTK to deliver the storming opener. Tribal percussion soon gives way to nagging, invasive beats. The hypnotic vocal phrase acts as counterpoint, but the real emphasis is on the drums, and then, after the drop, the bass. Things get modulated by pauses and mini-breaks, but the mood remains throughout. Real quality, real underground, and real Hardware.

* Top Secret follows next, with blasting, low-slung beats leading to an electronic lift. The levels are instantly ramped up, with Nymfo unleashing the main drum set. You know instantly that this one
will drop anywhere it's played, so prepare to hear this one wall-to-wall. Growling, upsetting bass is entered next, with the whole effect being one of pure grittiness and grime. Nymfo knows how to rock a party, and does so on Top Secret.

* Rounding things out is Ship Wreck. Here, sparkling electronics take over the main melody to start, before the real action takes place. And by real action, we mean one of the heaviest basslines to see the light of day this year. With only room for a percussive beat and some well-placed samples, the Dutch

Fixate - Throwback Therapy  Ep

One listen to this EP in its entirety and it becomes very clear that Fixate was always destined to become an Exit artist. His sound is
versatile and yet carries a present theme, much like Exit's catalogue. The EP opens with 'Throwback Therapy', a perfect execution of the Juke X Jungle X Rave crossover, massive amounts energy and
deft audio touches are all very much present. 'Percussive Aggressive' follows this and here is where the versatility comes into play- staccato kick drums leave room for the percussive elements to carry the rhythm forward underpinned by massive subs. 'N20' is a track made for exactly sound-systems, minimal drums and maximal bass, a very foreboding track due it's sparse nature with just enough minds and vocal FX to carry the momentum through, It's 3am all-enveloping club music. Track number four- 'Alive' is the most techno of the five tracks on the EP, the chords in the track are reminiscent of classic Chicago sounds whilst the skittering percussion give a lot of energy to proceedings. This EP feels like a statement of intent from Fixate, digging his heels into 2015 via the perfect outlet of Exit Records.

DBridge and Jon Convex's Heart Drive project comes correct with two devilishly dark club cuts for Pleasure District. "Sindicate" is an ode to paranoia thanks to its deeply-buried pitched down vocals and rising, insistent hook that drives further and further upwards like a trip that's gone awry. "Vent" is a more carnal, tribal affair with its plump drums and squid bass wriggling and shaking without compromise. A must-have for fans of Ruffhouse. A must-have full-stop for that matter.

Ed Rush - Scarabs/boxcar

* An artist synonymous with Drum and Bass, Ed Rush has become a byword for cutting edge, forward thinking
beats. Moving through the sounds of hip hop and electro in his early musical years, Ed Rush soon became
interested in the emerging London jungle scene.
* Showing his innate ability to manipulate chopped breakbeats and piles of sub-low bass, it wasn't long before Ed Rush and Nico dropped the huge 'Bludclot Artattack'. The first classic to Ed Rush's name, this proved to be a platform for another collaboration with DJ Trace. Simultaneously developing his own style whilst pushing the boundaries of a genre, classics such as 'The Mutant' and 'Guncheck' put Ed Rush's attitude injected productions firmly on the map.
* One of the pioneers of new sound dubbed Techstep, Ed Rush soon teamed up within another leading light,
Optical; to form what would become one of the most progressive production teams in the scene. In 1998, Ed
Rush & Optical released an album universally recognized as changing the landscape of Drum and Bass forever with the legendary, 'Wormhole' on Virus Recordings. Still regarded as one of the main catalysts for the Neuro and Techstep sound, 'Wormhole' paved the way for household names such as Noisia, Bad Company and many more.
* Since then Ed Rush has released a plethora of genre-defining tracks and albums, both solo and with his partner in crime, Optical. Still busy at work on a new Ed Rush & Optical LP due in late 2014, Ed Rush is not merely content with helping shape the scene and remaining one of its most consistent producers. Beginning his own venture, he now looks to the future with the birth of Piranha Pool. An outlet for showcasing new talent and veterans alike, Piranha Pool represents what will be the future of Drum and Bass; so it's fitting that its first release comes from its creator, Ed Rush.
* 'Scarabs' (Drum & Bass)
Already causing a stir in the DnB fraternity, 'Scarabs' kicks off Piranha Pool with a bang. After a twisted eastern tinged intro transports the dancefloor to a faraway landscape, 'Scarabs' transforms into a classic Ed Rush track.
Featuring drums you have to move to, infectious synth lines and a catchy bassline all underpinned with crystal clear production, 'Scarabs' is squirming its way into the biggest DJ sets.
* 'Boxcar' (Drum & Bass)
The flipside sees Ed Rush change the pace but lose none of the attitude. Featuring rolling drums and ethereal vocals, Ed continues to bring the pain with serrated bass keeping the rave in check. Maintaining the same top level production as the A-side but pushing a different vibe, 'Boxcar' shows the versatility to Ed Rush's productions and caps off a stunning debut from Piranha Pool.

New Zealand newcomer Epoch then expands on the lively tone set by his last record on Soundman Chronicles with 'The Ville': a brash and menacing stepper built for peak play.Sydney's Cliques then adds to a cross continental lineup with his 'AUT' - a capacious, dubby tool that generates a climbing sense of intensity before London's Fracture follows up his contribution to FACT's mix series back in March with 'Excalibur' - an immaculately produced and patient burner rich with razor sharp percussion and lively vocal clips. Youngsta & Distance then follow up with an untitled collaboration that harks back to heyday Dubstep with its rich,cavernous textures and dramatic, reverberated drum shots before Biome follows up releases on Macabre Unit Recordings, Mindset and Osiris Music and lays out a sparse, sub-heavy groove that rounds the release off as another fine addition to the Tempa series.

DAUDIO026 is a very special release indeed. Forming the first part of a two-part special issue, the EP celebrates five years of BTK's nowclassic label, Dutty Audio. Dutty has always been an outlet for BTK's own music and collaborations, as well as featuring guest artists, standing for the highest quality dancefloororiented neuro- and tech-influenced drum & bass, and the new EP shows this off, with some massive releases of tracks from Optiv & BTK himself, Mindscape and Coppa, Maztek and Level 2.

After the echoing intro, Coppa's trademark vocals light up your speakers, before sinewy electronic noises take you up to the drop. Mashing beats lead you through, with Maztek adding in some rushy mini-breaks and increasing levels of insanity. Don't watch this one, just Do It Like This.
The third cut sees the tables being switched, with Mindscape re-imagining Maz's Sinestesia. Yet more magic from both parties sees an epic build reaching for the ceiling, before coming crashing down with a course of flexible drum lines and rumbling electronic bass. You've Nothing To Fear from the closer, as Kyrist remixes Level 2. Creeping, crawling effects lead up to a funky, headnodding beat, which Kyrist uses as a tool to create an entire world in music and sound.

Various - Program Encrypted Drum & Bass

Hibernating against an already impressively tight discography, Program has been biding its time in unleashing this next release.

With some of the genre's most technically adept artists, the track-listing alone is enough to grab your attention. There is a high calibre of production standard present throughout the LP, audible from start to finish. Whether you become submerged by Freek's rolling 'Enamoured', accompanied by the pristine vocals of Pia Thaleia, or captured by the apocalyptic sounds of Slang Banger's 'Slaughter House', every taste is catered for. Program sets aside its older sister label Ram and creates a breathing space, allowing it to grow. The label is a heavyweight in its own right; this album is only reaffirms that fact.

And such a range of versatility comes with names both old and new. L 33 returns to the imprint, with clashing bass conundrum 'Manipulate'. Gerra & Stone also make an anticipated reappearance; their contribution 'Po'rdosol' is a steppy riddim constructed through a medley of beats and sliced up sample.
But relative newcomer Elliott Mac uses the LP as a pedestal for another stellar production. The budding artist flexes his capabilities across the soundscape of 'Filter City', delicately composed yet highly intricate. It's demonstrative of Program's dedication to emerging artists, sifting through cyberspace to showcase some of the best acts the underground has to offer.
So now it's time to prepare your subs and plug in your speakers - Program have made a welcome return, further solidifying their position as leading tastemakers with a quality ensured guarantee. It's once again, time to get with the Program!
