Drumsound & Bassline Smith - Technique Summer 2016 (Album Sampler)
It's that time again! As the sun makes its long-awaited appearance for 2016, Technique Recordings are gearing up for another summer album. And, as if that news wasn't exciting enough by itself, it comes accompanied with a taster courtesy of the label's bosses Drumsound & Bassline Smith.
Document One - Klaxon - Technique Summer 2016 LP Sampler 2 [Technique Recordings]
After the heavyweight horns of Drumsound & Bassline Smith’s Rise of the Black Panther signalled the approach of Technique’s Summer 2016 album, the follow-up punch of the combination is here. You may well have already heard Friction drop this on his Radio 1 show but, for those that know, no endorsement’s necessary.
Alibi - The Hornet EP [V Recordings]
Alibi sees two of the brightest lights from the Brazilian D&B scene, Level 2 and DJ Chap join forces under their new production moniker for their second release on the legendary V Recordings.
Sub Zero - Collab EP [Playaz]
Since launching his solo career back in 2009, Sub Zero has gone from strength to strength under the wing of Hype & Pascal on Ganja & Playaz. With countless plays on radio and DJ support from the likes of Andy C, Hype, Grooverider and many more, Sub Zero has secured a solid foundation in the Drum & Bass world.
Vital Elements & Micky Finn - So Good / True Guidance [Serial Killaz Recordings]
For those lucky enough to be at the birth of Jungle in the 90’s you’d have undoubtedly come across the legendary Micky Finn who, packed with his arsenal of dubplates, led the charge and paved the way for Jungle and Drum & Bass as we know it today.
Ant LaRock & Demuir - Your Name Is [InHouse Records]
There is always something special when two rising and prominent producers from electronic music's underground collaborate to deliver a creative gem for the club. Having already received attention from the likes of Luke Solomon to DJ Sneak, New York's Ant LaRock and Toronto's Demuir have added the seasoned ear of InHouse label boss Todd Terry to the list of fans.
Tantrum Desire - Nationwide Rocker EP [Technique Recordings]
The Tantrum Desire brand is most associated with the kind of epic productions that have seen drum and bass become a mainstay of the mainstream. True heads, though, will know that there’s always been an undercurrent of genre-twisting experimentalism present, which came to the fore on last year’s huge album Diversified. So, which corners are explored on this EP?
Escapism 3 [Liquicity Records]
Liquicity returns to the soulful side of Drum & Bass with their third installment of the renowned ‘Escapism’ series. 12 brand new tracks by the likes of Makoto, Hybrid Minds, Nymfo, Champion, Dualistic and many more. This album is a great mix of established artists and upcoming talent. Escapism 3 will have a full vinyl and CD release and is out on the 22nd of April.
