With a new EP out on Terabyte records, German crew Depth Range (aka Kid Kun, HP.Ritch & ReDraft) are showcasing their experimental blend of D&B once again. Drawing influence from juke, hip-hop, halftime and footwork, the resulting sound is pretty damn exciting. We caught up with the guys to find out more about the Amazia EP, their approach to production and throwing parties in their homeland.
Today’s exclusive sees US producer Sinistarr on the remix for Microdot Recordings boss Delta, flipping around Kundalini Serpent into a footwork-infused slow/fast jam that retains the trippy aesthetic of the original but with a distinctly different percussion-style. Wicked! Look for this one via the Microdot Bandcamp from Friday…
One of Milan’s most exciting producers returns to Neve’s The Dreamers imprint this month with a big new EP and we’ve got the exclusive on title track Nightcore. Bringing together euphoric synth lines, rapid-fire percussion and a frenetic energy. 25% footwork, 25% jungle, 25% bass, 25% rave…100% banger! Look for the Nightcore EP at all good digital stores from October 23rd.
Quentin Hiatus’s FLD imprint continue their relentless schedule of forward-thinking future music with a fresh new album from French duo Kantyze. The Mutation LP features some serious riddims so naturally we jumped at the chance to share the premiere of one of them, and The Blastmaster is one frenetic riddim indeed. Rapid-fire breakbeats set to a lilting, swung bassline and punctuated by raved-up synth melodies and staccato vocal hits make for a relentlessly energetic track; sick vibes! Check it out and look for the full album dropping October 16th.
Our favourite Italian label The Dreamers return to the Dojo spotlight with new beats from Torino duo Jazzatron. Bass Trump brings together halftime backbeats, jungle-tinged drum fills and a hint of samba for one funky-ass jam driven along by an infectious melodic hook. Sick! Look for this dropping September 15th at all the usual digital stores.
US imprint Party Guy return with another top EP and this time it’s Clothcutter on the buttons. Today’s exclusive on DNB Dojo is the title track from the EP, No Good. Blending halftime D&B, a pinch of footwork and that instantly recognisable vocal hook, this one has serious groove; fans of Fracture and the more experimental end of the D&B sound will be on this like a fat kid on a cupcake. Check it out and look for the EP dropping August 14th.
Our latest mix comes from a fresh signing to Neve’s The Dreamers Recordings, Italian producer Frame! Showcasing the forward thinking sound of his new EP for The Dreamers alongside other label cuts and beats from the likes of Frederic Robinson, Sinistarr, Fixate, Spectrasoul and Commix, Frame has delivered a fine blend of future jungle, classic rollers and bassy bangers. Sick selection!
As always you can check out the mix via Soundcloud below or head to Youtube or iTunes to stream. You can also grab a download from Google Drive.
Detroit’s finest returns to Free Love Digi and we’ve got the exclusive on Bonchon! Fans of funky percussion need look no further, cos this one is a riddim…serious syncopations from the man like Sinistarr. Check it out and look for it dropping at Beatport on the 19th.
We’re back with US posse Free Love Digi for today’s exclusive as we present a cut from the brand new DLX EP Ain’t It Funky. Harnessing crazy drum patterns, a hint of jungle and some serious exuberance, Predator Dance Battle Party is exactly as whimsical and chaotic as the title suggests, and so so good for that vibe! Check it out and watch for the whole EP hitting digital stores later today.
Our latest premiere comes from the fine folks at RUA Sound as they present their fourth release from London producer Touchy Subject. EP opener Synchronisation blends elements of dub, halftime D&B and footwork for a big bassy head-nodder with more than a touch of soundsystem culture flowing through its sonic veins! Check it out below and watch out for the Skyward EP dropping June 2nd at all good stores…
