Following up his debut album 'Emergence', Prague based producer, beatmaker and all round good guy Hybris is back on Noisia's Invisible imprint.

A perfect foil of Hybris' trademark quirkiness vs dancefloor this delivers on every level.

finally repressed!
In the drum and bass world, Jade is a name which needs little introduction. Having helped define the neurofunk sound during its development, Jade's Eatbrain imprint has earned its place amongst the top names in the game, serving as a consistent and carefully curated source for cutting edge drum & bass. As such, this next release features a duo poised for world domination in their Eatbrain debut - the Russian / Ukrainian heavyweights known as Teddy Killerz. Although the duo only took up the Teddy Killerz moniker last year, the two producers have already left an impressive mark on the global drum and bass scene under the names Place 2b and Paimon. With an massive release catalog under their belt, and a bold, aggressive new sound, Teddy Killerz continues their assault on dancefloors across the globe. Eatbrain welcomes Teddy Killerz to the fold.

Teddy Killerz leads off with 'Violence', a driving concoction of upfront drums and sinister atmosphere. A percussive bassline beats relentlessly like a synthetic war drum, its malicious intent swelling and ebbing with surgical precision. Like a trained killer, 'Violence' offers listeners no sympathy.

In a lethal collaborative effort, Teddy Killerz, Jade, and 2Shy MC keep the bloodbath going in 'Blackout'. Kicking off with a ghostly melody on keys, 2Shy's lyrical prowess ramps up and kicks things into overdrive, resulting in an all out frenzy of ruthless drums, twisted soundscapes and glitched out vocals. Once it begins the brutality doesn't stop, it's unabating nature taking on a hypnotic quality. Turning the light on won't protect you.

Following releases on Osiris, Tempa and Cold Recordings, 'Depatterning' is the debut album by Ipman, set for release by Tectonic Recordings on 25th September.

* Jack Gibbons aka Ipman hails from the rural Herefordshire, a world away from the city-born influences that form his sound. Embracing the luxury of isolation, 'Depatterning' is compiled from two years of recording, realising a vision of Gibbon's passion for soundsystem music, rave culture and technology. A self confessed tech nerd, Gibbons built the record experimenting with granular and modular synths, rewiring drum machines and mangling sounds with hardware.

* "I like to create music by experimenting with new ideas and mechanics and letting tracks evolve, and this was no different. I had a pretty free reign and just tried new things and looked at the results."

* Lead track and recent 12" 'Regicide' repackages the mid-1990s jungle experience into 140bpm breakbeat science, 'IPA' gives a sly nod to the Hereford pub staple through jamming techno synths, while the trinity of '¥, Ø, Ü' sandwiches atmospheric ambience between Gibbon's takes on dark 2-step and crushing rave.

* The restless 'Last One In The In The' pays tribute to the all-night dancer "It's like that bloke who is there from start to finish, eyeballs popping out of his head, just dancing like a maniac all through the dance (we've all been there). I had an idea for a video for it about him but never got round to it. It'd be like the Inspector Norse video. But in England so gritty and depressing."

* 'Depatterning' demonstrates Gibbons' individual ability to seamlessly fuse sounds, textures and moods - from jungle to techno and everything in between.

"Most of the inspiration for the album came from purely wanting to make something my own. The challenge for me was to pin down a sonic and craft an entire album's worth of material out of it, which for me was difficult as I tend to get bored and move on quickly. It feels good to finally be able to share this."

* As the summer months ensue and Icicle rolls through the groundbreaking Entropy live European tour, the dutch master returns to present the follow up to his critically acclaimed sophomore album of late last year, 'Entropy'. The Entropy Remix EP project draws on the talents of some of Icicle's favourite producers to bring their own take on music from the album and due to popular demand we have also included Phace's deadly remix of 'Dreadnaught' in the package - another essential addition to the Shogun Audio artillery.

* 'My Entropy remix EP consists of five reworks of a selection of my most well known album tunes by some of my favourite producers of the moment. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and especially the diversity of the EP. I've found myself playing all the tracks in clubs regularly and they all work well in their own right. From the tech precision of Phace's remix of 'Dreadnaught' and the old school vibes of Ulterior Motive's refix on 'Will You be Mine', to the weight of BSE's version of 'The Edge', the very original take that Joe Ford took of 'Neutralise', and the half time technical madness of Proxima's reshaped 'Isolation' they all get me every time. To coin a phrase, I couldn't have done any better myself... ' Icicle 2015

Neonlight's latest release on Blackout, the 'Edge EP' with Wintermute, is out now.
The 2 tracks of the vinyl version of the EP stay true to the hard-hitting, high energy D&B of both their previous releases as well as those of Blackout, but also go deeper, edgier and a little bit darker. The EP perfectly demonstrates their diversity as producers and their undeniable talent for sound design that has made the duo one of the hottest properties in D&B at the moment.

* Support from: Taelimb and Conscience, Sweetpea, Mauoq, Tephra & Arkoze, Kalm & Spindall, June Miller, Kolectiv
* This first single from PRTCL's solo label has had a lot of attention so far, including plays on Mauoq's DNB podcast and The Nurtured Beatz show on RudeFM.com. Both tracks are mastered and cut by Beau Thomas at 'Ten Eight Seven'.
* "Chasing Shadows' is a full on drum and bass roller with a gradual moody atmospheric build up which drops into a heavily reverberated bassline. A full on dance floor track.
* "Dub Thing' is a half time, dub influenced, sub heavy track that is backed up with a sharp scratchy bassline. Another one designed for the dance floor.

* Bold and fearless, Lynx steps away from the norm to deliver the unheard verses of drum & bass with his rule defying LP, 'I Am Lynx'. After signing to Hospital Records in June 2014, we were given a brief taste of his diversity with the release of his 'Where Are You' EP late last year. Since then Lynx has continued to rattle cages with his unconventional sounds and all-encompassing repertoire. Stocked full of crazed quirks and indefinable styles 'I Am Lynx' raises the bar, deviating from any D+B predictability.
* Best bet is to expect the unexpected, 'Circles' leads the way featuring the infectious, layered vocals of Master X. Followed closely by 'Ghost Train', emitting haunting string sections and bold vocal chop-ups to give a relentless, industrial-sounding insight into the mind of Lynx. 'Clap Track' tears down the walls with reverberated kicks and warped bass waves going hand-in-hand with the attitude exuding 'Drop That'. Soulful and indulgent 'Chord Time' and 'Only She Knows' break away from the rest, showcasing Lynx's diversified style.
* A producer dedicated to uncompromised quality, 'I Am Lynx' shatters stereotypes, showcasing the eccentric and eclectic style Lynx has cultivated from his many years of experience. Hospital Records proudly presents an album that sets Lynx aside from the rest; an unrivalled competitor in the race of the music creators.

* Integral catalogue number 28 sees four future producers come together for a top shelf release packed with diversity and flavour, showcasing the industry's finest nu-skool drum & bass talent.

* We welcome Pennygiles to the camp for his debut 12 for the label, alongside studio pals Phil Tangent, Sevin and Ed.it.

* Opening the release in style, Pennygiles and Sevin team up with a massive soulful summer anthem titled I'm Sorry'. Dancefloor magic at liquid funk's finest, this huge musical groove filters epic musicality through strings, horns and comes complete with big classic vocal.

* After Phil Tangent's recent and much acclaimed EP for Integral, the beautiful Lyra' sees a sublime follow up, the duo
explores euphoric vibes digging deep. With an ethereal soundscape and elusive reece bassline, this musical tour de force also features a haunting vocal that captures and draws you closer.

* Wrapping up this incredible release, Ed.it and Pennygiles come together for the wickedly funk-fuelled Know A Lie'. This is current dancefloor business jamming with attitude, with a nu-skool twist on the techy sound bringing that extra special edge. A stomping head-nodder destined to keep you moving and shaking 'til dawn.

* Already receiving heavy support exclusively from tastemakers Ivy Lab, Artificial Intelligence, Lenzman, Friction, Total Science and DJ Marky to name but a few, the amazing talent showcase of Integral 28 is not to be missed.

After the very succesful and soldout release debut on the limited series on Citrus, Malsum & Krone present the Pachamama EP. The second one is yet another very special one by Krone & Malsum. Expect roaring basses, rolling beats and crazy one shots. A little deeper on the musical side, but most defenitely a banger for the dancefloor! Classic neurofunk sound as we like it!

For his third full-length, enigmatic U.K. producer Zomby didn't cut any corners: With Love contains a staggering 33 tracks spread across two CDs, or three vinyl LPs

* Back in the early 90's Bay-B-Kane a young producer from East London released his debut EP on what would become one of the most respected and sought after labels in the Jungle scene. This release in particular was instrumental in developing the genre of "Jungle" that morphed into "Drum & Bass" over the next few years.

* This highly revered producer has work under numerous aliases over his 25 production career including Code K, Kid Thunder, Double T, Intelligent Junglist, Parallel. His tracks also appeared on seminal labels like White House Records, Kickin Records & more.

* Support for this legend from artists like Dj Hype, Mickey Finn, Gachet, LTJ Bukem, Slipmat, Ratty, Peshay, JJ Frost shows the high esteem in which this guy is held. This 2015 re-issue has been mastered & cut by Shane The Cutter and still sounds incredible 23 years later. This limited edition run is one of a handful of upcoming re-issues from Bay-B-Kane coming up. The original 1992 release goes for a small fortune 2nd hand and this re-issue will probably be doing the same in a couple of years too!

Digital (the man from Ipswich - FUNCTION/METALHEADZ...1995/2015...), the,'Godfather' of D&B engineered this epic dance floor smasher at his legendary studio, which can only be described as 'Mission Control'. HELLRAISER became an instant dance floor hit on its dubplate debut, when it went off 'Proper Naughty' during the mighty DJ Storm's set at METALHEADZ Vs EXIT night last November. Written at Horrific Studio's, London by J.Bionic & Horrific James, a car trip over to Ipswich for an all-nighter, & fitted with one of Digital's super 'turbo boost' junglistic amens.'Terminator' style uplifting intro pad's & 'Bell Tune' flavour triangle loops, bass to make you boogie & bleeps to make you shake; HELLRAISER has arrived!!!

Dimension is not wasting any time in 2015. Swiftly off the back of Beatport chart topper'Whip Slap' - one of the biggest underground tracks of the year so far - Dimension returns with brand new single 'Pull Me Under / Maschinen'.

'Pull Me Under', which features vocal talents of RAPHAELLA, was premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1 - shortly afterwards, UKF Drum & Bass supported the track online. The heavy industrial dancefloor sounding B-side, 'Maschinen', has been tearing down dancefloors for a few months now. 'Maschinen' received it's premiere by Frictionon BBC Radio 1.

Within 48 hours of release, it's predecessor, Whip Slap went straight in at #1 on the Beatport Drum & Bass Top 100 chart and remained there for well over a month - as well as peaking at #18 in the overall Beatport Top 100 - unheard of from a drum & bass production! Dimension is not a stranger to the top spot on Beatport, having reached #1 in the DnB chart a year earlier with club anthem 'Crowd Reaction'.

Further radio support has come from the likes of Annie Mac (Special Delivery), Danny Howard (where 'Love To Me' charted at #2 and 'Whip Slap' #3 in the Radio 1 Dance Chart), Zane Lowe, Friction, DJ Target, Annie Nightingale and many more, includingBBC 1Xtra Playlist slots with Whip Slap and Crowd Reaction.

* Mako returns with his first solo EP on Metalheadz

* The Narrator
Mako opens the EP with a stepping riddim, classic Headz samples are evident and made all his own, a perfect intro to the EP. Big subs and slapping drums.
* The Gap Feat Fields
Contorted mids and amen edits on The Gap, the track features frequent collaborator Fields. It's a gnarly track with designed for the dancefloor from the intro to the last beat.

Heartfelt strings through the intro that give way to intricate percussive led drums, classic breaks dash in and out of the mix quickly, a confident track that keeps you engaged throughout its course

MTA have just announced their newest signing, one of the hottest names in Drum & Bass, Dimension, with his brand new dance floor single 'Love To Me', out December 7th.



Lead track 'Love To Me' received it's world premiere by the UK's top tastemaker Annie Mac as a Special Delivery on her Friday night show on BBC Radio 1 at the weekend. With killer vocals over a frantic beat and undeniable energy, 'Love To Me' is guaranteed to fill floors and spark even more interest in the breakthrough producer. On the flip is 'Move Faster', a weighty DnB cut already receiving support from Wilkinson, Netsky and Friction to name a few.



London based Dimension has already had a massive year with the release of his biggest tune to date 'Crowd Reaction' reaching number 1 on Beatport's Drum & Bass chart and being playlisted on BBC Radio 1Xtra. His most recent remixes for Example, Maverick Sabre and MTA label bosses Chase & Status received plenty of air time on BBC Radio 1 from the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Friction and Mistajam. As his production talent is taking off, so too is his DJing with stand-out sets at Global Gathering, Exit, Fabric and Amnesia this year.



With his recent success and the backing of the UK's leading names in dance music, big things are expected from Dimension on MTA Records.

Low Jack and Jean Carval's Gravats label opens 2015 with a new album from prolific psych-drone
artist High Wolf under his Black Zone Myth Chant alias.
'Mane Thecel Phares' is a wigged-out trip thru Afro-centric, riddim-driven psychedelia, breaking
down the boundaries between Sun Ra, DJ Screw, and Vox Populi! with a smoked-out, blurry vision
heightening the effects already felt in his mighty 'Straight Cassette' LP for Winged Sun/Laidtbac.
Mulching the vibes and fibres of celestial jazz, dub and improvised noise into eight papier mãche
golems, the session regresses to a headspace of swampy psychedelia from the amorphous synth
shapes and primordial pulse of 'Belshazzar' to the sub-conscious voices and ancient elegance of 'If
God Is Not Here'. What happens between those pillars remains a mystery, even after you've heard it
- is 'In The Arms of The Parcae' footwork from an alternate dimension Could 'Two Stars, No Cross'
possibly be Francis Bebey's starchild from Andromeda Are the polytonal chorales of 'He Evil'
attempting to communicate in a forgotten language
With your help we can begin to unravel this enigma. Please note down and let us know if you

Limited Edition, 2 x 12' Picture Disc packaged in a Gatefold sleeve with coloured inners

* With the first two volumes enlisting Icicle, Total Science, Fourward and Technimatic, Friction's 'Vs' EP series returns for a third instalment with another four of drum & bass' most coveted producers - Dimension, Prolix, Metrik and Ulterior Motive. Scheduled for release on April 26th (and on limited edition 2 x picture disc vinyl from May 18th) via Friction's iconic Shogun Audio label - itself a drum & bass institution - Vol.3 sees each go head-to-head with Friction across four club tracks of real ingenuity and power.

* Vol.3 is Friction's most expansive in the series yet and, like the two volumes before it, delivers on it's mission statement perfectly. This is vibrant, thoughtful drum & bass engineered at full-tilt - with one of the scene's greats at it's core.

* As we approach the warmer climes of 2015, Spectrasoul ready an enormous sunshine anthem in the making, taken from the fast approaching second album 'The Mistress'. With the previous single 'Always' having made its grand entrance as an Annie Mac Special Delivery on BBC Radio 1, this new slice of electronic summertime soul looks set to take the reins in style.

* 'Shelter' featuring the blissful lyrics of Lily McKenzie sees Spectrasoul stepping firmly into other musical territories for a beautifully melancholic slice of hazy, sundown listening. The perfect embodiment of the duo's current push towards more songwriting, 'Shelter' hits the spot perfectly.

* With remix duties handed to the Grammy nominated talents of Two Inch Punch, he turns in a magical take, bringing an even more ethereal and more leftfield slant to proceedings that's sure to find favour with more electronic music aficionados across the world.

* As if this weren't enough also included in the single package is a D&B VIP version by Spectrasoul themselves. Taking the track firmly into the main room, it's awash with pristine, clattering drums and classic Spectrasoul rib rattling bass, all the while retaining the intensely satisfying vocals that will stay in your head long after the record plays out.

"The DJ Producer" has been a guiding force in the UK Dance scene since he arrived into the stage back in 1992 with his legendary back2back set with techno god Tanith at Universe. His productions and DJing have been influential for a huge host of international artists. Though he is signed to one of Europes biggest Hardcore Techno agencies he regularly moves outside this sphere to show he is truly a master of all styles. "The Very Last Drop" is a full-on jungle hard hitter. Perfectly cut up and overdriven Amen breaks underpin this dance floor devastator of a track. On the flip side of this 12" comparative newcomer "Smyla" serves up another awesome slab of Jungle with incredible upfront production that maintains the old skool flavour. His previous release on Cyber Crunk, Mute:8 and Jungle Syndicate went down a storm. These 2 tracks make up another incredible release for Miike Teknoists label.

The reissue sees the unmixed disc replaced by a new unmixed one. The album's artwork was changed to credit Pendulum for mixing the album, which became notable for its controversy. In fact, shortly after the release, Rob Swire denounced on the Dogs On Acid forum that he did not know of the release, and did not give permission. This caused an uproar in the thread, many members believing that Fresh was capitalizing on the success of Hold Your Colour. The scandal eventually caused Pendulum to leave the label. Also, in Jungle Sound Gold, a mistake was made in the tracklist of Disc Two. The first track `Intro` `was actually``Masochist``, which made a whole shift in the song titles, making all of them wrong, and having ``Another Planet`` name as ``[Untitled Track]``. Moreover, Disc One was actually the mixed album by Pendulum while the Disc Two contained the unmixed tracks.

The last drum & bass edition in Fabric's ever-collectable, unstoppable Fabriclive mix series was exactly a year ago with Calyx & TeeBee. While the hugely influential London club usually serves up two, or sometimes three, a year, we've been seriously longed out in the last 12 months.... But now they're making up for lost time in a major way.

The team of Ed Rush & Optical unleashed upon the world an album, label, and audiological echo that would inspire thousands of producers and spawn an entire generation of artists. Their '98 debut album Wormhole changed drum and bass forever and is widely regarded as the best album of the genre. While both DJs have won widespread acclaim individually, it is commonly said that their best work is done together -- and never more so than when delivering their signature Virus sound direct to the dancefloor. Implicit with drum and bass at Fabric since year zero, Ed Rush & Optical at last step up to the FabricLive plate with a typically frenetic session. The mammoth 39-track mix is peppered with exclusives (Ed Rush & Optical's "The Host" and "The Turnover," Ed Rush's "Scarab VIP"), previously unreleased tracks (Signs's "Clockout" and "Acid Test," Optical & BTK's "Inside Out," De:tune's "Purge"), and brief journeys back in time (Ed Rush & Optical's "Watermelon" (1999), Konflict's "Messiah (Noisia Remix)" (2005), Ed Rush & Optical's "Chubrub" (2009), Audio's "Collision" (2010)), completing a relentless exhibition of drum and bass supremacy. Also includes tracks by Phace; State of Mind; Optiv & BTK; Noisia; Current Value; Black Sun Empire & State of Mind (including a track featuring PNC); June Miller & Mefjus; Dimension; Maztek & Grotesque remixed by Maztek; State of Mind, Mindscape & Jade; Mefjus; Neonlight & Wintermute; Noisia, Hybris & Mefjus; Hypoxia; Spor remixed by Calyx & TeeBee; DC Breaks; Misanthrop; Hybrid Minds feat. Tempza & Laurence Baker and remixed by Neonlight; The Qemists remixed by Spor; Mefjus & Misanthrop; and BTK, Maztek & Optiv. Packaged in bespoke slipcase containing die-embossed tin

After releasing his debut album on his own imprint Soulbros. Records back in 2012 Rowpieces now returns with a crackin' sophomore album on the ever expanding Fokuz Recordings.

Starting his career focussing on soulful drum & bass and having produced many releases for legendary labels such as V Records, Good Looking, Phuzion and ofcourse Fokuz Recordings, Paradigm Shift is a perfect manifestation of Rowpieces' influences and artistics views.

Paradigm Shift contains twelve tracks with that distinctive, soulful Rowpieces sound we love so much. Spread across various tempos featuring Pulsaar, P-Fine and Kryptomedic this album is shaping up to be his best work yet.

* After more than 25 years in dance music, Brazilian drum & bass pioneer DJ Marky has announced long-awaited debut artist album 'My Heroes' - scheduled for release in April this year.

* No stranger to success and an icon in his South American homeland, DJ Marky is an internationally renowned DJ and producer and label boss of his own Innerground Records imprint. Igniting dancefloors with with the same passion for music he first started producing with two decades ago, DJ Marky's compilations, mixes and remixes number over 100 - including edits for Everything But The Girl, Claude Van Stroke, Fatboy Slim and Deadmau5 - and it's high time he got to work creating an artist album.

* The album's lead single, 'Silly', sees a hazy, whimsical vocal layered over Marky's signature acoustics and relaxed Brazilian groove - a playful introduction with a hint of his jungle roots. ''Feelin' Fine' ft. A Sides & Singing Fats continues the more ambient theme - albeit offset by up-tempo programming - as the vocal introduces elements of funk, whilst Getaway' feat. Adrienne Richards & Random Movement looks to a harder beat aesthetic amidst a flurry of looped piano chords and warped bass. 'Medusa', another stand out track on the LP, opens with a frenetic burst of drums and synths as DJ Marky showcases just how far his production remit stretches - an important facet of his work that lies at the core of Marky's continued longevity and success.

* Smooth and progressive, 'My Heroes' thus explores the full spectrum of drum & bass and even further afield - from full-tilt club fare to laid-back, house-laden grooves - and is a testament to both the innovative producer and endearing personality that DJ Marky remains.

Following up on his landmark 'Martian Chronicles' LP for Commercial Suicide, Mindscape has carefully selected a number of artisanal craftsmen to delicately fondle and caress his excellence into a series of outstanding reworks.
Witness this, the first volume of greatness, with remixes from Tech stars, JADE and CHRIS SU with digital bonus remixes from NYMFO and CZA.

Huge support so far including FRICTION, OPTIV & BTK, AUDIO, KLUTE, ED RUSH, STATE OF MIND, MAZTEK, MEFJUS, etc.

Hailing from Toulouse, French trio Signs have already carved themselves out an interesting niche within the nu-skool neuro scene, stamping their unique output into the public's consciousness with big releases on Red Light Records, Bad Taste Recordings and C4C Recordings.
Their beats are sparse and militant with each drum hit afforded the space to dominate the audio spectrum, with pauses and moments of silence, delicately programmed into the DNA of the drum tracks, playing big part in the groove's forward momentum, propelling the riddims forward and creating a dynamically powerful and compelling backbone for the rugged, tough basslines to shine.
The tunes are punctuated with wild Reese fluctuations and sci-fi sound effects reminiscent of the Wormhole-esq techstep from the end of the last century, with dark atmospherics ushering each trackdown the rabbit hole and into the dank, hellishbasements of debauchery that tunes like these call home.
Interzone kicks things off with a clipped, jerky drum beat before a transformers bassline slams into focus in a delightfully rigid yet fluidly modulated fashion.
Percuss starts of life as a Clive Barker horror film before neurotic neuro synth work and tech sound effects combine with a stripped back drum beat to devastating effect.
Back Meat opens with a mournful pad refrain before launching into trademark Signs territory with muted reese bass joining disjointed drum work and high pitched strings.
Vermin is a hyperactive drumstep referencing number peppered with jungalist fills, acid squiggles and experimental IDM tinged flavours that recall some of the more recent work of producers such as Amit and others working at the more exploratory ends of the neuro and techno influenced spectrum.
To wrap up the release, the label boss - Jade joins in for the ride, with an upbeat speed-roller remix of Vermin.

2methyl's first full length album is both a feast for the dancefloor and an example of creativity. Following the Orb EP, Layer8 is a hard, fast album of futuristic dark drum'n'bass. But it is also an example of how to bring this genre forward while staying true to its energy. Very complex and detailed, the nine tracks of this album play with the rules of modern day's drum'n'bass and burst out of their restraints, resulting in an album whose horizon is beyond the dancefloor and which impresses by its magnitude and originality

* All Blue Feat Cleveland Watkiss
Stone cold soul music by Headz new comer Halogenix with vocals from Headz veteran Cleveland Watkiss. The track was bound to be a success.

* Beyond the bounds
Another track that shows why Halogenix has confirmed his place as one of the best newcomers over the last few years, A very soulful sound with enough dancefloor muscle find its place in many different sets.

* Shank
The most energectic offering on the EP, techy without being nerdy - clever edits and engineering prowess all combined for a peak time track.

A swirling warm breeze signals the welcome return of Technimatic who drop their first solo release since their critically acclaimed debut album of last year, 'Desire Paths'. Picking up from where they left off, Pete Rogers and Andy Powell deliver a superb sun-drenched EP coupling sharp, pristine drum & bass with trademark musicality perfect for the summer months ahead.

* ''The 'Flashbulb EP' is our first major project since 'Desire Paths'. After finishing the album we took a bit of a break from making music, instead we concentrated on building up our growing portfolio of flat caps and new-world wines. But we're on a roll again this year, and we're really pleased with the way the new EP has come together. There's progression from where we were last year, but it's still driven by our passion for rich, musically-led D&B. We hope you all enjoy it!' Technimatic 2015

After their release early in 2014 the duo Counterstrike returns to the one of the hardest/finest imprint these days, on PRSPCT.

Returning to Dispatch Recordings for their second EP on our main label, we're proud to welcome back the ever-evolving duo Gerra & Stone, for 2015, with the 'Unbreakable EP'.

* Despite releasing only twice with us to date, Gerra & Stone have quickly established themselves as key up and comers here at Dispatch, developing and fine tuning their skills to an impeccable standard, at almost implausible speeds.

* With 2014's gnarly 'Too Deep EP' still fresh in our minds, the pair explore a much more soul driven, musical direction for the 'Unbreakable EP', an angle seemingly subdued from dancefloor favourites of the past.

* Nothing better demonstrates this than title track 'Unbreakable', as the duo eloquently arrange sultry piano interludes from the talented Stephen McCleery, with thrilling sparks of signature low ends, all led by a beautifully striking vocal hook from folk singer Lucy Kitchen.

* Techier elements still linger, as gritty drum shuffle 'Plates' rebels, however, despite hitting hard when need be, the EP is characterised by its blissful Summer feel. With heavily Lenzman supported 'Tender Touch', soulful vocal echoes of 'Release My Soul' and delicate piano chords littering 'Almost U', Gerra & Stone complete their 2nd EP with a distinct touch of class.

Releasing under the moniker Misanthrop since 2002, Michael Brauninger's music reflects a foreboding sense of darkness, something that has been prevalent in his previous releases with the likes of Critical Recordings, Neosignal and Subtitles. Misanthrop has utilised unfamiliar ways to push the envelope of his twisted, sinister sound for new EP 'I Need More'

The automated refrain on 'Capitalism' reflects the stark coldness of Misanthrop's work, before unleashing an onslaught of off-beat breaks to display Brauninger's deft, often unpredictable production style.

'Rock'n'Roll', a more familiar tear-out drum & bass track, bolstered by pummelling percussive flourishes and flashes of distortion throughout.

Gaining support from the likes of Skrillex, Goldie, Skream, Alix Perez and more, Misanthrop has spent his 13 year career carving a sound that is wholly realised in this latest release. Brutal, uncompromising and inherently forward thinking.
