* After five years of releasing the most breathtakingly refreshing electronic music currently in the UK, Rockwell is readying his debut long player 'Obsolete Medium' for release through Shogun Audio. Fusing the boundaries between drum & bass, trap, hip hop, house and cinematic soundscapes, there's no mistaking the sound of Rockwell, bringing the most intricate production to dance floors across the world whilst trailblazing his own definitive direction. Typically punk from its inception 'Obsolete Medium' is an electronic adrenaline shot that mixes straight up hard-hitting D&B with sonic experiments that will leave jaws well and truly dropped. Including collaborations with some of his most respected peers namely Sam Binga, Breakage, Phace and Hyroglifics, Rockwell delivers a truly engrossing album encapsulating his growth from drum & bass artist through to one of the most accomplished music producers and DJ's to have emerged in recent times.


* After a lot of hard work and long days and nights in the studio, I am very proud to present my debut album 'Obsolete Medium'. Being honest, I was struggling for the last few years by trying to write a certain type of music that I thought people were expecting of me, and consequently not making much progress. I took a conscious decision to let the tunes develop organically and not try to force their direction. What resulted is a very naturally constructed collection of music reflecting my wide range of influences - punk drum fills, techno basses, dusty white noise and neon synths - whilst not heavily mirroring anything too obviously specific, and eschewing many of the cliches of modern dance music production. All the while, not taking the process too seriously and not being afraid to poke fun at myself and the traps of being an electronic music producer. I'm really happy to have a some of my friends on here with me including Breakage, Sam Binga, Hyrogliphics and long time sparring partner Phace. Shouts to you guys. I think that if you have found anything in my production, from the early days of 'Stowaway Dub' to 'Childhood Memories' to more recent tunes like 'Detroit', there should be something on the LP that will strike a chord with you.
Hope you enjoy it!' Rockwell 2015

Modern Ruin Records proudly presents its debut release "Present Decay EP"
The first release of this London based record label is dedicated in showcasing some of the most talented and innovative artists making moves on the juke/footwork scenes around the world.
The tracks featured range from warehouse bangers to disco jivers and will accommodate for a wide range of musical preferences and styles.
The first track is a rolling dancefloor destroyer from "Pawn" This regular player on the Shoot Recordings label is no stranger to dirty bass music and each release has seen him go from strength to strength with this newest release "Do U" being no exception.
With its rolling drums and heavy baseline this track drops like a stick of dynamite and will no doubt be followed by some crazy leg movements on dancefloors across the globe.
The second track is from a true pioneer of juke music. His Label "Dynamix Records" has seen him pushing some of the best and brightest artists on the juke scene to date. "Matt Davis" AKA "The Renegades" brings us "The Warmup" a beautiful example of a juke/jungle hybrid which really shows his passion for the old skool while giving it a modern twist. His love for melodic soundscapes and jungle drums rings true throughout this track and will bring joy to all the old skool and new skool ravers alike.
Track three is from one the most dynamic producers i have ever come across, it seems there is no style of music this man cannot make. Better known for his disco and house record labels "Vorres" AKA "sccucci manucci" has been a big part of the music industry for many years now and his releases span from deep house to garage to dubstep. "One of these old days" is a beautiful soul gospel take on juke and has a truly unique and a melodic sound that you will want to play again and again.
Finally we have a brilliant upbeat disco/juke edit from "Sideswipe". This track would be just as at home on any disco dancefloor as it would be at a warehouse rave. "Be With U" has all the groove and funk anyone could ask for while still staying true to the juke format. "MUKATSUKU" label owner "Nik Weston" has already shown the track some love and incorporated this new sound into his future disco/funk sets. This final track rounds off a truly innovative and exciting EP which is one not to be missed.

With one of the biggest artist lineups to have ever graced one EP, Critical Music presents Phace, and his friends. The perfect outro for the labels most successful year yet.

For the eleventh installment in the Blendits Audio series, frequent collaborators ''Mindmapper'' & ''Silvahfonk'' are returning to the Rotterdam based imprint with their strapping ''Absolution EP''.

The A-side effort ''Absolution'' evidently showcases the incidental duo's production skill in which the unyielding beats collide nicely with the serendipitous guitar strums and mechanical sound effects that occur throughout. On the B side, the almost herculean sounding drum patterns are continued on ''Raised''. The ominous pads guide the track into a thriving minute of disarray before turning to a doomy fashion with fierce growls and plenty of drum pattern switches. A bonus track called ''Compromised'' is included in the digital release (the breakdown is bad!).

The EP is set to be released mid november on digital and 12'' vinyl + download card. Hope you like the sounds!

* Break presents Symmetry Sessions vol1 ; a collection of high quality tracks from some of the top names in the scene.One of only three people to ever remix a Break track ; the reigns have been effortlessly taken by Calibre for a relickof "They're Wrong".

* Teaming up with DLR one of the scene's hottest technical producers, the mighty "New Design" was born at the end of last year, smashing clubs all over the festive season, a great follow on for fans of their last co-lab "Murmur".Featuring NC17 & KC 's guaranteed club hurter "SlimeVille" - and a brand new Break track "Wondering Why" this is an essential E.P. to get into your bag for the start of the year.
* The dub style "Dem Babylon" rounds off the record with a different down tempo flavourfrom Break showing his dubwise musical skills. * The A and AA are arriving as a 12" single, with the rest of the Digital E.P. available free to vinyl customers via a drop card download.Strong support from Bailey, Calyx and Teebee, Friction, Spectrasoul, Bryan G, and many more.

Darkjazz/ Experimental/ Electro. This split consitutes an exciting collaboration of these two French experimental/avant-garde/dark jazz acts. In mutual respect and appreciation, both DALE COOPER QUARTET and WITXES selected a track of their split companion and created a fundamental and independent rework of around 20 minutes length. Based upon parts of Witxes' ""The Apparel"" -- from the last album ""A Fabric of Beliefs"" -- and afternoon summer recording sessions, the DALE COOPER QUARTET's ""Le Strategie Saint-Frusquin"" contains the classic sounds of the Quartet: ambient soundscapes, lazy jazzy rhythms, drone and distorsion guitar and a deep saxophone breath. Being mostly instrumental, the deep tone of Ronan Mac Erlaine's voice comes to ease the stormy start of the music piece. A grainy and blissful track that resembles music coming through of a 50s radio speaker, letting dark jazz flooding the room. ""Pisces Analogue"" is a new WITXES piece based on ""Nourrain Quinquet"", a track from ""Quatorze pieces de menaces"" by Dale Cooper Quartet & the Dictaphones. In five movements, the track explores the interstices and cracks of the dark, minimalist, lurking, cycle-evolving original piece. It offers to take a look at some of its nooks, focus on a few of its endless micro-universes and jump from one to another in a flash. Just like swimming in a puzzling dream. If there is anything in common with previous Witxes output, it is a strong sense of motion as well as narration to be seized by the listener. Though this piece uses heavily processed instruments takes from ""Nourrain Quinquet"" as well as a few typical Witxes field recordings, it is Witxes most synthetic work to date. It was written, recorded and mixed in 3 weeks during summer of 2014 in Lyon and co-produced by Michael Mysak. CD: digipak, Vinyl: thick gatefold sleeves, 180g vinyl, different colors, free download code.

Our favourite Austrian D&B super group return to round off their year with the absolutely firing 'Elektrik EP'. Brimming with four tracks of super sonics, Fourward yet again prove their credentials, arming us with the most high-end ammo perfect to bring down any dance.

I guess with this EP we wanted to try and mix it up a bit more again, like we used to do, a couple of years ago. We didn't want to have a 4 track EP representing only one "niche" of D&B. Touching all corners of our music became more important to us again and that's what we did while we made this EP. During the summertime we wrote quite a bit of the more soulful, more viby stuff, and we definitely wanted to have one of these tracks on the new release ('Memories Of You'). We took a few months to write a whole lot of music and picked these 4 tunes to be our new EP. All in all it's a good representation of what we're doing right now'. Fourward

Brooding, sonically unrepentant and oozing with the kind of stylistic sophistication Stealth is renowned for, this next single on Program sees the welcome return of an underground titan.

Fierce yet technically adept, 'Desert Storm' reintroduces you to a producer who helped to chisel Program's persona. Stealth takes you deep into its composition, amongst falling amen breaks and cleverly distorted bassline, which only adds to the track's moody atmospherics. Through hollowed out horn samples and clucking drum rolls, you're thrown into subterranean riddim of flying beats, underpinned by a sub which ricochets throughout.

Flipside 'The Truth' is fronted by one of the most renowned MC's of the last decades. With Fat's on vocals, you're taken into a vastly different double A, with the MC adding a soulful twist amid piano arpeggio loops, elongated before cascading into the mix. Underpinned by strummed guitar plucks and shivering percussion, it demonstrates Stealth's ability to hone in on his art, presenting two diverse subjects.

Stealth's return will only see momentum grow. With an album looming, expect his catalogue of ruminating dancefloor numbers to expand into the New Year. You know the deal, it's once again...time to get with the Program!

* The original Jungle don Firefox is back where it all began with a brand new single for Philly Blunt.
* So Solid and Keep It Raw are two dancefloor smashers, and this dynamic duo are tasters from the forthcoming debut Philly Blunt album, due later this year.

* If the tunes Warning, Bonanza Kid, Buck Rogers, Who Is It and Bass Switch mean anything to you - then you know what to expect - bonafide anthems that will have dancefloors blazing into the next millennium! If you don't know, it's time to study up and we can guarantee that regardless of whether you've been raving for 2 years, or 20 years - you'll know this man and his music!

The name Legion & Logam has resonated since their first output on the Program imprint. With vocal roller 'House of Cards' being picked up by some of the dance world's leading tastemakers, it saw the production trio ascend to a very critical point in their career. And the glass ceiling has been broken; it was only apt for such rising stalwarts to be given the monumental 25th release in the label's discography.

'Holding On' and 'Afterthought' also follow their exclusive signing to the Ram Group... Although it was only a matter of time before the USA born artists were taken on by a label of that calibre

* One of biggest releases of the year! Fact!...Mefjus & InsideInfo get straight to the point with the biggest DNB bomb in 2015!!

* 'Footpath' Mefjus & InsideInfo team up with NZ's finest...The Upbeats for an all-time dream-team mash up that results in the uncontrollable urge to leap around and let it all go...Virus style...this drops so much it made the front row of a recent party all automatically win the World Gurning Champions 2015 and reminds the rest of us why music is fun.

* 'Leibniz' Not only the most pure form of bass music you can ever hear...it has deep tricks in the rhythms which mix time-signatures effortlessly but still sounds so flowing. It has production at the cutting- edge but doesn't ever over-produce and captures the most raw and essential power you can hear in any electronic music in 2015.

* This exclusive Hospital 12' features four tracks, with Netsky's original version backed up by Fred V & Grafix's storming drum+bass refix, as well as an outstanding, genre bending remix from the man like Wookie, and a 4x4 re-rub by the legend that is Todd Edwards.
* Featuring vocals from the inimitable Beth Ditto of 'The Gossip' on top of Netsky's supercharged drum+bass melodies this is the first new single from Netsky since his award winning album '2' smashed into the UK top 30 in 2012.
* Debuting on Zane Lowe's Radio One show as 'Hottest Record In The World', 'Running Low' has notched up over 180,000 plays on soundcloud in under a month.
* 'Running Low' is the first taste of new material from Netsky, who has been locked in the studio, busily working on his third album which will be released later in 2014.

8 TRACK 2 x 12" VINYL INCLUDES FULL 13 TRACK DOWNLOAD INSERT.
* Following on from September's release of the 3 track LP sampler QUADRANT + KID HOPS + IRIS return with the full 13 track LP '206', and it's a belter, featuring guest appearances from all kinds of folks.

* Hailing from a small village in the north west of the Unites States called Seattle, Leigh & Karen Caplan - (Quadrant & Iris), made intimate friends with longtime local hero Kyle Hopkins - (Kid Hops) and before long their late night antics became ones of a musical nature.

* Quadrant is a long time producer & DJ of D&B with releases on Commercial Suicide, Dispatch, C.I.A., Renegade Hardware, Citrus.

* Kid Hops is a long standing Seattle radio & Club DJ respected worldwide with 2 radio shows on Seattle's KEXP station. He was among the first to bring the D&B sound to the city.

* Iris is the relative newcomer of the crew but already making waves with her DJing & production skills, she brings the funk, soul and beauty along side a healthy dose of dirty nasty riffage.

* Wolves resident SB81 delivers a huge EP for Metalheadz, his first full outing on the label after two EPs on sister label MethXX.

* Sculptures
The EP kicks off with Sculptures, a half time track that signals back to classic era Rufige Kru. The track unfolds as it progresses with an almost cinematic feel after the second drop. The EP certainly starts as it means to go on.

* Final Cut
SB81 creates a track that pushes broken rhythms to very furthest, the track is all about the drum work. Something that SB81 is becoming a master of, a classic Headz feel pushed forward into 2015.

* Never Mind
Yet another example of innovative drum work from SB81, Never Mind has more in common electronica as much as it does dnb, tense strings are worked against interesting fx and an all -enveloping sub bass carries all the weight needed to make work on the dancefloor

Six new Two Fingers (a.k.a. Amon Tobin) tracks including a Noisia feature on 180 grams 12inch vinyl and free download of the digital.

The seminal second album from Rene LaVice shows a commitment not only to musical diversity, but also his chartered growth as an artist. One of the most creatively unique journeys that any LP has offered from the Ram Records camp, it pedestals music which has been present throughout sets from the past year. Whether that's been on the stages of Las Vegas' EDC, championed by revered label head Andy C, or at Download Festival, Glastonbury and during support slots for The Prodigy by Rene himself, there are stand out tracks which fans have already been made familiar with on dancefloors across the globe. And the wait for their release has been met with baited breath.

Already hitting airwaves with debut album 'Insidious', which received Radio1 airplay from Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw and Mistajam, the follow up has received support from the likes of Beats1 mogul Zane Lowe and MTV. 'The Calling' found itself nestled on Radio1's daytime playlists, whilst rock-inspired 'Part of Me' was premiered on iTunes biggest streaming platform.

From the slamming 808s of the aptly named 'Fook it', to the indie, vocal lead crescendos of 'Wave', Rene clearly smashes a prototype throughout the LP's entirety. You're also reintroduced to Radio1 A-list record 'The Calling', as well as dancefloor detonator 'Air Force One' and an array of other singles which have set the album's precedent. Plenty of fresh new cuts add to the impressive track listing, with opening track 'Lights Outs' featuring the rasp of David Moombah and clunking reece bass, whilst album closer 'Riot All Right' ends on Rene's own signature voice notes.

Merging together so many stylistic features, taken from an array of influences, this album presents a multi-levelled approach to music making, drawing not just from electronic music but also genres celebrated worldwide. 'Play with Fire' will stand as one of the most pivotal release in not only Rene's discography, but also across drum & bass as a whole... A ground breaking set of records which prove the genre's development, from the jungle breaks of the 90's, to its adaption to the contemporary world.

With each release, Stealth has slowly made his presence known within your musical subconscious. Taking hold of every synapse with drops of LFO induced devastation he's now merged with the other figureheads of a dnb underworld to bring you his 'Alliance EP'. And believe us when we say, this is one not to miss.

Already firmly asserting himself amongst the Program roster, his meticulously crafted cuts have helped push the imprint as an underground tastemaker. And the unstoppable partnership is back, with a gritty and technically adept EP... Proving once again they're a force to be reckoned with.

Rolling up first alongside Stealth is Dirty Hertz, with the two producers proving their flare for contemporary drum and bass. Renowned for their intricately layered composition, 'Revival' is both uncompromising and delicately woven. Vigorously snapping hi-hats help to underpin an aggressive bassline, moving along a construction line gradually being built upon between pounding subs. It's the perfect starter, helping to epitomise the sound Program represents, Aggressive musicality that boasts of ingenuity... the type that often goes unrivalled.

Then we're introduced to Stealth & Xtrah's 'Everytime'. As you'd expect, this track is totally different from its predecessor, although it's just as precisely orchestrated. Pushed forward by domineering drum loops, Stealth's style oozes in between each bar, it's a frequency that drops dangerously low. Wraith-like vocals dip in and out of the record's stockier elements, with a juxtaposition which is tasteful whilst still making an impact.

Stealth and Stylus have already proved their working dynamics result in epic sound clashes and 'Bulgan' is no different. Building with intensity, there's all out anarchy as it dives into a steppy riddim. This is then diced up by randomly ducking, skipping samples and winding breaks. With quickly zipping beats helping to pad out its configuration, there's no mistaking the intricacy between every break. Stealth and Stylus smash it once again and they guarantee something new with every listen.

Lastly, Stealth and Quaed take the stand with 'Passenger'. A demonstration of Stealth's dynamics, the two begin with an intimidating fluctuation of note patterns overlaying a cinematic entrée. Metallic drums pound in between sections, creating a hard-driven melody which pulls you through a sonic-rollercoaster of sound. The perfect way to wrap up four sonic assaults, look no further for tracks to pull you into the season's darker months.

A host of alliances from one of Program's finest Stealth unleashes another defiant slab of bass. It's the lead up to his debut album, a step towards another phenomenal release from the artist.

So once again, it's time to get with the Program... a catalogue that never disappoints.

The Hard Way returns with a DEADLY EP!

DJ Surplus' Soul Trader label brings you STR006, the L.T.D. EP, volume 1. The imprint specialise in the finest in liquid and deep d&b, highlighting quality sounds from new and veteran names from the scene.
The first in the L.T.D. series contains tracks from Chewy Jetpack, Skynet (with both an original tune and a remix), Random Movement, and Surplus himself alongside Scifa, remixed by the one and only Digital. Along with this stellar cast, the label has plans for releases from BCee, DuoScience, David Boomah and more, and have signed up remixes and vocal tracks from the likes of Total Science, Concord Dawn and Hannah Eve and LaMeduza, amongst others.
The EP starts off with the Skynet remix of Chewy Jetpack's epic Mars. Take a trip through the galaxy to the Red Planet as Skynet lays down a headnodding beat over which slide some creepy movie samples. The pace is picked up as the bass starts to invade your consciousness. Mars has a straightahead funk to it, reminding you of the power of the music and the quality which Soul Trader have brought together.
Skynet returns with solo track Fractal next, shimmering into being around a tightly controlled starting point. The basslines ramp into life, the beats are tougher than tough, and Skynet goes in with precision and direction. This is followed by a quick Chop Shop Burn, courtesy of Random Movement. This one works on so many levels, with subtle hints of sound wrapping their way around deep, rumbling bass and persistent beats. Let this one wash over you, as Random Movement draws you in in his own unique style and fashion.
Switch 2 Suspense is the command from Surplus & Scifa, and comes in the form of a Digital remix. Hidden depths will delight the attentive listener, as the remix adds layers of sound amid some huge, crushing beats and effects. Rangy, sweeping, but with precise pressure points, this is an encapsulation of the future of drum & bass music.t

Citrus Recordings present the Fugitive EP by Zero T and Mindmapper & Silvahfonk. Dancefloor sounds with class made by producers you should keep an eye out for.
