a DANNY ELFMAN score : It was more fun than I ever had working on a movie. It was so crazy and doing all the vocals was so much fun. I found myself falling into voices, singing vocal mannerisms. I was having such a gas.' - Danny Elfman

Tim Burton's 2005 adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's book was conceived as long ago as 1991, and was in development for several years before Burton was involved in the production. He immediately brought regular collaborators Johnny Depp and Danny Elfman aboard.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory represents the first time since The Nightmare Before Christmas that Elfman contributed to a film score using written songs and his vocals. The film was released to critical praise and was a box office success, grossing $475 million worldwide.

The wonderfully quirky melodic score and songs from one of Hollywood's great composers harks back to Edward Scissorhands, Burtons' and Elfman's most personal work, and is a return to the composer's vintage' sound from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Very Limited Trunk Website Only Release! (Until now)
Trunk Records caught everyone off guard way back in 2003 when they embarked on a series of reissues from the off-kilter musical world of Basil Kirchin, with his seriously scored orchestras, science fiction experiments, home-spun psychedelia and avant garde racket.

Now Trunk pulls out the trump card with an unknown Kirchin 1979 electronic floor-filler, in the shape of Silicon Chip. This nearly 40 year old tune contains all the analogue froth, cosmic thump and boogie down bass to get any party started.

Pressed on yellow wax, dead, dead limited, and brilliant. Backed with the stop/start helter-skelter arpeggio'd Silicon Sessions - works a treat when pitched down a little.

* Labels like Horizons Music act as a foundation for the drum & bass underground, giving prominence to newcomers against the tides of commercialism which have flooded the scene. Since their beginning, Horizons have prided themselves on being at the genre's forefront, sifting through the vast musical offerings dropped into their inbox and selecting only the best for their extensive catalogue.

* Although relatively unknown, their next artist Beta 2 has already been making himself felt throughout the community. With tracks off this forthcoming EP finding themselves in sets across the club circuit, interest is beginning to pique around the producer. However, with such an impressive sound design, pedestalling the standards which Horizons ensure all their roster meets, Beta 2 is sure to become a renowned name within record collections.

* The EP is a generous offering which centres around Beta 2's minimal prowess. With clicking percussion and quaking bass underpinning its stockier segments, 'Manufacturism' featuring Eva on vocals is a warbling, stuttering metallic engineering with a bassline that is drivingly fierce. Eva's voice falls ghost-like between the mix, never overstating itself and creating a creeping, brooding edge. Chopped up sample midway gives it a tenser feel, only adding to its jaunty atmospherics.

* 'Voices in the Static' follows the same creeping, minimalist vibe. Beta 2 is unafraid to step into a territory which is impressively complicated, yet still able to draw you in with every drum pattern. Powerful breaks hit out like punches, underpinning the powerful subs which quake throughout its composition. 'Voices in the Static' has sonic which rages with every hi-hat, clicking into life before each stab of bass shakes the speakers. Beta 2's delivery pulls together both the intricacies of drum & bass, plus its heftier values, opening a vast reel of musicality.

* Horizons' back catalogue is one of the most definitive across the full spectrum of drum & bass, bringing together records which have graced sets throughout its formative decades. Well known for their collection of ground breaking artists, their next release features a duo whose music stands the test of time and who remain pillars drum & bass's techier sounds. Unknown Error's hefty offerings on the likes of Lifted Music and Renegade Hardware still do damage in clubs today, but it's their daintier delivery on Horizons which is seeing this vinyl release remastered for 2017.

* With jagged-edge breaks, 'Yearning' explores the idea of liquid which still manages to aurally bite its listener. The track is yet to weather, toeing the line between the euphoric undertones of a late-night roller and the hard-hitting sounds of their Renegade and Lifted days. With deep, moody dancefloor feeling and cutting edge sound design, Unknown Error know how to sonically manipulate their music, presenting a perfect juxtaposition of dark and light. They make an impact without overstating their presence, a skill which takes years to refine. The experience Unknown Error wield together has helped them to remain an important part of drum & bass today

* 'Midnight Special' pushes the same stringent standards, with a sensibility that shines through each segment. It's the type of record which Horizons has pedestalled from the beginning, helping them to become a leader within their field. With jazzy, groove ridden undertones and calling synths, distorted vocal falls amongst its layers like a spectre. Tinny drums help bolster the composition, maintaining its heavier flow. Once again platforming the same ingenious juxtaposition, Unknown Error prove that over ten years on, their records remain timeless.

* Horizons Music are still releasing tracks of the same calibre but as they approach 100th release, it's a nod to their background and how they're able continue the same standard, paying homage to their roots and giving back to fans who've stayed with them from the beginning.

Skam Records are very proud to announce the return of Bola.

* Dauntless is a brand spanking new talent from Sydney, Australia with a penchant for the classic sound of tech step / neuro funk from the glory days. Think Ed Rush & Optical, Bad Company etc but with a modern twisted edge and you'll begin to get an idea of where Mr. Billy Kang is coming from.

* Already turning heads worldwide with releases on Noisia's Invisible and forthcoming on Dispatch. Cheggit out.

* Limited edition 2 track 12" vinyl.

After only two years since their first release on Cyclone, Amoss have become one of the most exciting and forward thinking names in drum & bass. A love of music stretching back into both their pasts, the duo have amazed audiences across the globe with the style, panache and variation which has characterised their work. Taking a lead from names such as Renegade Hardware and Moving Shadow, James and Andrew have successfully moulded their influences into a futuristic, genre-defining sound.

* Now they are ready to step up a notch, delivering a new release for the mighty Horizons label. Bumbaclart and Dilate will go a long way to cementing their reputation for big, bad and heavy d&b, which has seen them being supported by Spectrasoul, London Elektricity, Storm, Loxy and more. Amoss are known for their involving, evolving blend of beats and bass and their in-depth knowledge of the technical side of production, and the two tracks on show here are markers of their intention, in two markedly different ways.
* Bumbaclart is a deep, dark look into a Jamaican-inspired nightmare. Claustrophobic, mind-melding atmospherics surround a spoken intro, before a deceptively simple beat/bass dichotomy kicks in later on. An explanation of the meaning of the word is surrounded by pounding, groove-fuelled melodies, leaving you reeling and reaching for more. Amoss build worlds with everything they do, and they do this expertly on Bumbaclart.
* Dilate, meanwhile, builds from an initial electric pulse to a steady-growing groover, by way of some neat percussion. The underlying pulse gets louder, invading your mind, as layers are added on top. Amoss's sound is addictive, almost catching you unawares with its complexity and artistry.
* Amoss are *the* name in d&b for experimentation, progression and fiercely original music. Teaming up with Horizons, they are going to be BIG. Get on board now.

GAS remains Kompakt co-owner Wolfgang Voigt's most acclaimed and influential guise in his illustrious music career. Established as a series for his ambient works influenced by his experiences in Germany's Königsforst, he originally released through legendary electronic music imprint Mille Plateaux.
These albums have achieved near mythical status influencing countless musicians including TIm Hecker, Soulseekers, The Field to name a few. GAS has been hailed as "a wondrous high point in the history of electronic music" (Pitchfork) and "some of the most influential albums of the 90s" (The Guardian).
KOMPAKT now prepare to offer our most ambitious and comprehensive release in our history. Long out of print, the four core releases of GAS, ZAUBERBERG, KÖNIGSFORST, OKTEMBER and POP are finally released the way Wolfgang originally intended them to be - original masters uncut and packaged in their original design - a highly collectible, limited edition box set including an art book commemorating the series featuring Wolfgang Voigt's work.

GAS BOX - a long awaited document detailing a period of electronic music that has been lost but not forgotten.

Wolfgang Voigt is a man of many means and monickers, having engendered a unique take on electronic expressionism across multiple media - from riotous early 90s acid to cyber-folkloristic techno or the abstract drama of his current Ru¨ckverzauberung project, a pioneering vision to be found on vinyl, canvas or flickering screens. Ranking among of the most dense, hypnotic, atmospheric recordings in his oeuvre, the GAS releases have since become internationally recognized classics with a cult following, hailed as "a wondrous high point in the history of electronic music" (Pitchfork) and "some of the most influential albums of the 90s" (The Guardian). From foggy dub techno to anthemic electronica and loop-based ambient techno, the list of acts, tracks and even genres influenced by the full-lengths and EPs crafted under the GAS umbrella between 1995 and 2000 seems endless, giving these long sold-out original releases even more of a near-mythical quality. Following the much-acclaimed (and out-of-print) retrospective NAH UND FERN from 2008, Kompakt has decided that it's high time for a reissue that features the core GAS albums originally released by the legendary Mille Plateaux imprint in the 90s - the records that introduced the project's trademark sound between Scho¨nberg and Kraftwerk, Wagner and the bassdrum, 'an endless march through the underwoods of an imaginary, misty forest and into the disco.' Inside this comprehensive anthology, listeners will experience ZAUBERBERG (celebrating the 20th anniversary of this essential album), KO¨NIGSFORST, POP and the sought-after OKTEMBER 12", all together available as luxurious 10LP+4CD edition. GAS BOX is the most comprehensive version of these releases ever: the vinyl features edits that were previously unavailable on wax - with each album being presented as 3LP pressing (instead of the original 2LP pressings), for extended playtime and superior sound quality, finally released the way this music was intended to to be heard. This highly collectible box set comes with an art-print book featuring newly processed and previously unreleased photography from the Ko¨nigsforst woods around Cologne, in the style of the legendary, trail-blazing GAS artwork. GAS BOX is to be considered as the definitive take on a unique sound cosmos and an extraordinary period of music. An essential outing for every serious fan of electronic music.

* 'Circles' is funk infused bassline, coupled with Lucy Kitchen's haunting vocal this track is the perfect tease and intro for the album.

* Visonobi takes no prisoners, with his heavyweight vocals laid on a sparse Nitri beat. 'Homage' is the calling card to throw some darkness on this single.

With eight EP releases spanning almost two years to date, our Project Mohawk concept finally reaches its conclusion with Part 9, and as with the music that has gone before, we look to push the boundaries beyond those looking for something to pigeon hole.

Owneath is a rare talent, plain and simple. In a scene that is famous for unearthing some of the best producers that can cut across definitions and genres, we have no doubt that he'll go on to make a significant impact. Drawing on clear influences from the likes of Sunchase and Martyn to name but two, expect the unexpected is our main piece of advice as he twists the sonic landscape to and fro with a collection of tracks par excellence.

With extensive support from the likes of Noisia, Om Unit, Mikal, John Rolodex and many more, this truly is a fitting end to the Project Mohawk journey.

Early UK Hardcore edits by an unknown artist or artists, rumored to be hailing from somewhere near the Klasse Wrecks camp in Berlin.

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!

LTD VINYL ONLY !!

Ltd 10" Gold coloured Vinyl housed in a brown dub plate sleeve. One-time pressing - No Repress!

Ltd Vinyl Only release. With a vast new number of record labels surfacing during the ongoing resurgence of vinyl, it's now up to Green King Cuts to bring its own history in dub-minded bass music. The CEOs Jake Hennessy and Liam Conway, who grew up together, will do what's necessary to bring their values and those of their artists to a vinyl-only rundown - all for the love of sound-system music. The London born, Bristol based C-Side plays an important role in the first chapter of the label's future outline. He has been focusing on the aesthetics of dubstep for years and is known for his enthusiasm within the whole creative process. The sound he blazons has overtaken international waters and now it's time for his inaugural vinyl release. Its remixed by DEEP MEDi igniter Cessman, known for his anthemic collaboration with 'King' Kromestar called 'Kalawanji'. The bass veteran and front-man of the Dubliminal imprint never fails to deliver a quality remix treatment that forms an ode to uplifting dub music. 'Early Days Dub' pays homage to the golden era of dubstep, containing hits of dubwise elements, a ruff bassline and the all but vital amount of delay. C-side explores the foundation of the music by incorporating a beautiful alto saxophone sting from a close friend that fuels the nostalgic feeling of old-school dub. The London born, Bristol based artist uplifts a vibe that comes close to system sound. Cessman blurs the original dub version with a lot of wet reverb and an even weightier bassline. All present elements swirl around its foundation freely, giving the solid percussion and vocal sample the right place in time. There's no harm done when this built is played out loud in foggy basements. In fact it will bring forth the feeling of an old-school session purely for a skank & inner meditation.

Limited to 250 copies Worldwide.Gold 12" Vinyl in a clear PVC sleeve with artwork insert.JLSXND7RS is a rising star within the heart of the Grime scene. Despite his lack of releases his tunes have been making the rounds among the elite in Grime. With his sound JLSXND7RS has succeeded in catching an authentic raw and gritty vibe most Grime fans adore. In 2014 he released The Undertaker. This collaboration EP with Trends and Flirta D quickly gained the number one spot on the Juno Download chart and also sparked the interest of Spooky Bizzle and the godfather of Grime, DJ Slimzee. This interest resulted in being affiliated with Slimzos Recordings which will lead to a release on the label in the near future. His beats also became favoured by MCs as they are played frequently on Rinse FM, Radar Radio and BBC 1Xtra. JLSXND7RS his Soundcloud profile is filled with radio rips with MC's such as Capo Lee, Nico Lindsay, Kwam, Rocks FOE, Skepta, Jammer and Wiley spraying their bars over his beats. Needless to say JLSXND7RS isn't a rookie when it comes to Grime. Recently he released his co-produced EP The Undertaker Remixes on Reloadz and the Red State EP on DJ Spooky Bizzle's Ghost House Records. JLSXND7RS also has quite some production credits coming up for MC's like Wiley, Killa P and Hitman Hyper. JLSXND7RS is a purist when it comes to grime. Even though his approach is much more melodic and yet never fails to screw up your face. On S.N.M you'll hear a perfect example of his dark side.

* Horizons Music have time and time again upheld their ethos. This is something which is becoming abundantly clear with each release. Their mission statement is to deliver only the best, most versatile and dynamic pieces of static artwork and to ensure they line the sets of artists from every DJ type. It's impossible not to become entrenched within their discography, every part of it as spectacularly moulded as the next. And it's the artists they hand pick for their roster which makes their music so especially perfect for late night rendezvous on the dancefloor. Villem & Mcleod, two artists whose synergy is apparent from each release they've put out together. It's an energy which is about to take the helm once again; throughout the next three tracks Horizons Music will further lodge itself within your musical subconscious.

* 'Wonderful' opens the EP with an intricately written intro, including lofty piano notes and shaking percussion. With a bassline that quivers and flutes which add to its waif-like atmospherics, prepare to be taken into the sound of Villem and Mcleod. However, the light has a darker side, and you're quickly plunged into a low frequency distortion of bass. Female vocals add yet another shade, dicing up the segments and presenting a huge colour palette of sound. 'Spiritual Value' and 'Mystic Ritual' both give a valuable insight into the minds of Villem & Mcleod, but channel their own vibe individually. 'Spiritual Value' bleats through elongated note arpeggios and precarious samples of speech. But as always, they take you down a murkier path and drop the level two or three notches below zero. Following this up, 'Mystic Ritual' switches up a notch, this time not leaving you guessing and firing you synapses first through a chasm of plucky strings and carefully laid out pads. Drums push through the mix giving it an edgier feel, whilst vocals are utilised to soften the blow. The drop, although slightly less illusive, still catches you off guard. You find yourself brought forward on a jazzy riddim, one that'll take you into the darkest nights of any club. Horizons present a package of three delights.

* Three delights which are here compliment the record collections of any drum & bass fan.

* Over the past six years, Joe Moses has done it all. Under his Need For Mirrors name, his efforts have resulted in a series of releases which have rightly been labelled as classics. From Metalheadz and Playaz to Dispatch and Spearhead, NFM has been everywhere.

* Also one of the names behind the legendary London d&b night Soul In Motion, Need For Mirrors' quantity is easily matched by his quality. His excellent music continues on HZN093, the Lvrs EP for Horizons Music, which contains three tracks on the physical release.

* 'Wow' is the a-side, bringing elements of the old skool to a decidedly modern pallette. A slow burner, this one sets its stall out over a delayed intro. Dropping down into some classic late night vibes, the tune picks up to display its full beauty. NFM create the atmosphere, with some live sounding effects and rolling beats. Feel the pulse and feel the flow, this one is simply Wow.

* On the flip, 'Down Time' again runs with a retro inflection, this time upping the pace and letting the sounds envelop your very soul. Playing around with melody and tempo, Moses creates a new world at every turn. One minute there's a liquid vibe, before adding in more bass, this is truly a tune for everyone. 'Lvrs' meanwhile, brings things down a little, with removed synths marking the backdrop for funky, jazzy chords and some frankly brilliant drums. There's different sounds creeping in all the time, so look forward to this one surprising and delighting you.

Famed for his appearance on legendary Bristol label Livity Sound (https://soundcloud.com/livity-sound/sets/forest-drive-west-system-show-them), newcomer Forest Drive West is a mysterious and as yet 'unknown' artist who has yet to reveal his/her identity. Switching from Skull Disco-esque tribal techno to now appear on London's No. 1 Jungle label Rupture LDN is a nice switch-up proving this producer's versatility. The music does not disappoint. Pure jungle music. Just how it should sound. A spectacular release that further cements the return of the sound.

* Horizons Music stands as a respected label within their field, presenting upfront drum & bass with high quality production standards. Showcasing an impeccably diverse artist roster, they've stayed principled with their output and this single is no different. Hydro and War feature on both tracks; Hydro utilising his wide range of styles and two decades of experience alongside War's undeniable talent to create another milestone for Horizons' discography.

* 'Afflicted' rolls out first, gripping you from start to finish and beginning just the way you'd expect. Gradually gaining pace, it's darkly foreboding and pulses with activity. Slowly ticking hi-hats intertwine with a winding up bassline to take you down a rollercoaster of snapping beats and crashing symbols. It's moodily enticing and War's tell-tale bass methods pull you in even further. A roller to take you into the murkier waters of any late night set, the steppy drums provide abundant space before letting go into all out anarchy once the track breaks. Mechanical, cleverly crafted and impactful throughout, it takes you between various paces. Instrumentals break out and distortion appears between each mix while you're disturbed by swathes or creeping sample, leaving you unable to drag yourself away from its grip. This is Hydro and War at their most menacing, but also at their most spell-binding.

* On the flipside, 'Virtuality' is softer to the touch, despite the pounding kick that fortifies its foundations. Zipping between breaks it presents the single's lighter side, despite the jungle breakdown that begins to make itself known midway through. LFO stuns its way between tinkling piano notes and shaking hats. For those who complain that a lot of modern drum & bass doesn't take you on a voyage, 'Virtuality' tells a different story. A piece of artwork that switches between a huge spectrum of sound, Hydro and War manage to encapsulate what many producers struggle to do throughout a full body of work.

* So once again, it's time to reintroduce yourself to Horizons Music. A platform that instils class within each of its releases, demonstrated by this next output from Hydro and War.

* Handra Featuring Tiiu - 'Forget'
Heading up this EP, Handra enlist the enchanting singing talents of alluring Russian artist Tiiu. Opening with a melancholy piano rift, we're soon reunited with the beautiful haunting sound of Tiiu. Accompanied by that well known Handra style industrial kick, snare and echoing growls, this makes for a hypnotising fuse of edgy production and stunning vocals with a chorus that will ring in your head and you'll never forget.

* Handra - 'Far Away (ED:IT Remix)'
Last but not least producer Ed:it adds the finishing touch to this EP with his fast paced re-lick of Handra's chill-out tune - Far Away tune. Starting with the same airy sweeps and far away clicks and snaps, this quickly changes as a typically Ed:it style percussion roll cuts in. This leads to a drop of solid moving bass intertwined with various reverberating vocal stabs giving us an exhilarating uptempo new take on the original. A fine finish to a powerful EP.

* 'Hollow Moon VIP' sees a release as the first track on 004, the hysteria fueled VIP that we have received continued requests for; something that has formed and remained a staple part of DJ sets for Ant TC1 & Cern over the past year. * 'Hydraulic' is the next track to feature as our Dubplate Exclusive; a collaboration between Cern and Atlanta based Mayhem (best known within D&B for his early productions with Noisia). The result is an authentic, early 2000s tech step vibe; relentless drum programming, but just enough groove & character to stand out from the crowd.

* Completing the package, Cern returns to sampler track 'Tiamat' from his recent 'Under Another Sky' album to deliver a re-work that goes up and above the call of duty, delivering an incredible sequel that firmly de-thrones the much loved original.

This album is more focused on atmosphere and mood, some even say this album is a turning point for YMO and the international Pop music scene. They successfully merged lyrics, sound bites and their signature electrically programmed music on BGM.
