We welcome for our final release of 2019, Germany’s very own Max Hock aka Es.tereo. This, our third release on our ‘Earthbase’ series, sees Max arrive with an already solid pedigree of output via such labels such as the now defunct but seminal Hidden Hawaii imprint, as well as Ireland’s Abyss Records and German modern dnb staple Urban Poetry. His perhaps most notable previous work is arguably his ‘Theme’ project (via Samurai Music) which saw universal praise from the leftfield dnb scene and beyond , taking the landscape of dub techno atmospherics into a whole exciting new format of 170bpm-led excursions, when most people where hypnotised by minimalist sub-lead dread.
Fracture presents Turbo, a sound Astrophonica label boss has been pushing in his productions and sets over the last 18 months. 8 tracks of uncompromising dancefloor cuts that merge together the sounds of Techno, 160/Footwork, Jungle, Bass and Electro. Featuring Addison Groove, Sam Binga, Moresounds, Philip D Kick, Lewis James, Hyroglifics and ONHELL.
AKO Arcade brings you two very personal plates from Stretch and the Reinforced 1995 archive.
The VIP’s to The Guyver’s first mini-album, ‘FEEL’ has a more dancefloor vibe to it and a lot more of the vocal before the switch halfway through that will have you doing the gun finger signal.
‘The Whip’ has been a personal tune to a lot of people and a track that has been requested for a repress so we went one better and agreed to let the VIP or alternative version that was close to being on the mini-album. We like you will enjoy the different take on it with additional breaks, edits and a different bassline.
Here we are with our 12th vinyl release. We're really proud of our back catalogue, and even prouder to be able to add more to it. And what better way to expand our portfolio than by inviting yet another exciting artist to join our 12" club. And this artist is Ricky Force - a man who's seen it all in the more breakbeat-oriented face of drum & bass, pushing his trademark intricate percussion programming since 1999, releasing quality music on labels such as Reinforced, Repertoire, Omni Music, Pinecone Moonshine, DSCI4 or 117, and now finding home with us.
Without further ado, here's Ricky Force and his latest single - a pair of not your usual 170-BPM masterpieces leaning heavier towards roots vibes, jungle, halfstep, and dub (Ricky's from DUBlin, so it makes total sense). "Ecstasy" starts with a looped vocal bit that leads the listener on towards a thick bush overgrown with full-bodied kicks, sharp, frantic breaks, and a bassline composed of massively booming bits that are bound to keep you on your toes, especially if you have the chance to enjoy it on some proper soundsystem.
"Firehouse Dub" is, in turn, a solid halfstepper strongly rooted in jungle revivalism. It marches slowly and steadily, unfolding some interesting stories on the way - a series of thickly-arranged broken beats, a pack of blares, some vocal bits here and there. Put together, they create an amazing mixture of classic sounds organized up to modern-day standards with surgical precision only Ricky Force is capable of. A true feast for all those into the less polished and more true-school shades of drum & bass.
AKO Arcade brings you two jungle tracks from the vault of DJ Stretch himself. Both are from the late 94′ era.
Dem Want It is a VIP and Ganja Dub are dubplate versions of tracks that never had a full vinyl release. Stretch would always do an alternative version for himself which normally ended up better than the original. After finally locating the DAT and getting them remastered to share with the AKO supporters. Both have lashing breaks and deep sub basslines and old sound tape vocals throughout. These will be limited like the other Arcade releases and once there gone that will be it. We hope you enjoy another piece of history.
Back with new material for Symmetry, Jack Boston’s latest offering showcases his musical and production talents. The two contrasting tracks demonstrate his diversity as one of the scenes top emerging artists. His background as a guitarist is a thread that consistently runs through his production, which adds a live and natural feel to much of his work. As a trained sound engineer working at a renowned studio, his experience from recording an eclectic array of bands adds a different dimension to his approach when making Drum n Bass. Working towards his debut album, this release is the first taste of things to come.
“The Place” - Teaming up once again with the soulful Vanity Jay, this track takes you on a journey of moods. From pensive and smooth to edgy and deep this track holds you on the edge of your seat as you travel through the soundscape. Distilling these elements down into the DJ Edit (included in the digital release) delivers a more club friendly version.
“Always There” - Known for his love of Amen breaks, Madcap brings his rolling jungle style to the mix on this energetic B side. Uplifting horns, retro guitars and bluesy vocals keep this fast paced record moving until the last bar.
It's been three years since founding UVB-76 member, Pessimist put out a Drum & Bass release. The last time you could find a 170 track by Jabs was back in 2017 for his critically acclaimed self- titled debut album released on Blackest Ever Black. So we present in 2019, the Burundanga EP for UVB-76, which has been destroying dance floors across the planet.
The Burundanga EP consists of three Drum & Bass cuts. Think Ruffhouse meets tribal shamanism, gutter breaks with amazonian field recordings and thick atmosphere, you'll feel like you've been spiked by some ritualistic witch doctor. Also included within the four track EP is the long awaited Paian remix by Downwards Records and CUB affiliate, Simon Shreeve aka Mønic & Kryptic Minds, taken from Jabs's debut EP for The Buzzer. Trust us when we say this is not for the faint hearted, we're truly excited to have Pessimist back on the label with these four vintage, signature Pess, killer cuts.
Absolute carnage on this release, kicking off with a mighty bang as Triple Sickz face off against Raw Science resulting in the aptly titled 'Bruiserville'. A serene intro with rolling breaks builds up using lush, soaring pads before breaking down to the drop: chunky stabs pave the way for a wall of drums and bass to swing through like an out of control wrecking ball to completely annihilate any dancefloor......No prisoners.
Brand new signing DC-N5S from Virginia, USA comes correct with the 2004 horseman vibes of the big nasty stepper 'Emitter', causing seizures with its incessant mentasm stab and stop-start drum patterns to keep you on your toes.
Closing things off on the flip, Grief brings the pain with the pure cyberpunk robo-funk of 'Bishop'. Drawing on the classic tech-step sound of the late 90s, this one could be a soundtrack to a dark future anime short; rich in atmosphere, weighty in beats and oozing class through every bar, this is an epic piece of music rounding off a punchy, nasty slice of wax.
No time to fuck about. From the T-O-P we have bonafide jungle legend and producer extraordinaire, dubzilla himself Digital teaming up with the master of the low-slung dub-flex Morphy, together with deadly rhythm technician 9 Tails, to bring you the chunky bar-brawl beats and earth-splitting bass quake of 'Rhino Gun' on the A side.
Next up we have the B-boy break extravaganza of 'Culture' by Champa B & QRE8R, slicing up the dance with its switch-hitting drum patterns and warping mentasm riddim in an unrelenting fashion for the pill munchers.
Raw Science (Drum Cypha & Skru) close off this monstrous EP with 'Deicide', a reese-led beast that tumbles along with crunchy sledgehammer breaks and robotic stabs, building into a hectic crescendo of synths and relentless bongos.
Limited repress of Digital & Spirit's 'Revolution EP' Pt 1 & 2
Digital & Spirit return to Phantom Audio once more with one of their most heavyweight selections of recent times. Two bonafide classics in their own right, Digital’s ‘Deadline’ and Spirit's ‘Redial’, have come together to once more wreak havoc on dance floors worldwide in the shape of 'Deaddial'. Next we have the cavernous subs and ethereal pads of ‘Revolution’ which both agree is one of their favourite works. ‘Phantom 2018’ reworks the timeless classic ‘Phantom Force’ into a new blend of dance floor destruction as those thumping tones and crashing beats are once again sparked into life for a quirkier yet equally devastating interpretation. Finally, what would 2018 be without a mammoth dub-tinged amen workout from the duo, unlike no other in ‘Small World’.
