Fracture – Gangbusters [Metalheadz]

The mighty Metalheadz are lining up their next release in their METHXX series and this time it comes from Astrophonica head-honcho and superb leftfield beatmaker Fracture. Audio for the A side isn’t out yet but the label have given us a sneak peak at Gangbusters on the flip. Combining elements of Juke and Trap with classic drumfunk-esque breaks and trademark grimey Fracture low end, the tune hits a different rhythm to most of the other material out there just now. Clearly Fracture hasn’t run out of ways to innovate just yet! Look out for this one dropping April 8th.

In The Mix…Paradox [Samurai Music]

To celebrate their 20th release from the mighty Paradox, Samurai Music have convinced the man himself to present their official podcast, and he comes correct with a quality selection of drumfunk including both sides of the aforementioned 12″, Crate Logic / Scorpius. With funk drum programming so under-represented on the scene these days, it’s good to see Paradox is still flying the flag and resisting the temptations of other more fashionable sub styles. Check out the mix below and look out for the limited edition marbled 12″ from 25th Feb on the Samurai Surus page.

In The Mix…Reso

Reso has long been a purveyor of good quality bass music and his output remains a beacon of light in the otherwise often tedious Dubstep scene. The man also knows his drum & bass, as shown in his latest mix for Inverted Audio.

The mix starts off with a nice selection of atmospheric drumfunk from the likes of Paradox and Fanu before building into more techstep oriented tunes from producers like Xtrah and D Minds. It’s nice to hear the chopped up styles making an appearance, and the mixing is superb throughout.

Check it out below and be sure to give Reso’s new LP Tangram a listen too.
