Joe Goddard is surely one of the busiest men in the world of electronic music: writer and producer behind the world-conquering Hot Chip, acclaimed solo artist, travelsome DJ, prolific remixer, one half of the emerging 2 Bears house duo and one of the founding members of the Greco-Roman record label and party collective.

Opening cut 'Without Warning' recalls the tune that rewrote the rules and made Lynx's name back in 2007, Disco Dodo. One of the true last Dnb anthems that transcended the niches that so often divide the genre. He's come a long way since then, and recent releases for Metalheadz, Soul:r, Brownswood, Black Acre and his own Detail stable have demonstrated his quality across the board. Lynx's trademark sonics run throughout the LP, splicing together time signatures and tempos to represent his sound and his label in the fullest. Collaborating with a diverse range of artists in the true spirit of eclecticism, familiar faces including Kemo, DRS, Fats and Deeizm step up to provide vocals whilst the likes of Marcus Intalex and Noisia weigh in to join Lynx at the controls. With a widescreen vision far beyond simple dancefloor drum & bass, Lynx sets out where others fear to tread and crosses bass music boundaries and delivers a complete package with the kind of finesse only an experienced producer of his calibre can accomplish.Radio & club play is coming from all corners with Andy C, Bailey (BBC 1Xtra), Camo & Krooked, Culture Shock, dBridge, Doc Scott, Flight, Friction, Hype, Klute, Noisia, Marcus Intalex, Presha, Shy FX, Youngsta (Rinse FM) and Zero T in support Andy C: Without Warning is sick bro! Great vibe! dBridge: Really loving the album - Playskool is my favouriteCulture Shock: Without Warning sounds amazing! Love the grooveAnt TC1: Gonna love spinning these! Refreshing to know the music is still safe for a while to come when I hear stuff like this

The 50th release on Dispatch is already receiving a mass of support across the scene from the likes of: Ant TC1, Break, Marky, Artificial Intelligence, Cern, Icicle, Youngsta, Kasra, Nymfo, Chris SU, Stray, Total Science, Survival and Dabs.

Critical's Modulations marches forward this time picking up even more new talent in the form of Mortem. Coming straight out of Poland this marks another solid step in Mortem's burgeoning career, his first official release for the Critical stamp and a great pre-cursor for the future; there's a lot more lined up in the studio where this came from, trust us!Smooth, ethereal pads abound as 'Get Closer' opens proceedings with tapping percussion and a rocksteady break that set the mood. A low-slung tech-drenched bassline is what this is all about and when it drops it rolls hard drawing influence from that old Virus space funk sound from yesteryear. A very polished piece of production indeed.'Monoveler' is sinister from the off, industrial borders on the medieval as the intro paves the way into a future-glitch b-line that claws its way inside the mix as the bars move forward in a tense battle all the way to the bitter end. A very cool indication of what more is in store from Mr Mortem.

Welcome to the first Love Sick Recordings release brought to you by the likes of Riskotheque, Marchmellow and Screen Age & Mudie (aka Southbound Hangers).'A' side 'All Alone' provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. In the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. Insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. Truly a song to cry to as much as dance.In contrast to this is 'AA' 'You Don't Understand'. Positivity and hope pervade this little beauty; it's glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. Perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.So we hope this clearly sets the agenda for Love Sick Recordings... music equally at home in the bedroom as it is on the dance floor!

The 2nd 12' taken from forth coming Commercial Suicide compilation. S.P.Y's Bulldozer is a ruthless roller.

We are proud to welcome back DJ Lynx to Sonorous Music with two killers that have been hurting dancefloors worldwide for the last few months and has already received national airplay from the BBC and Kiss FM.

Returning to Dope Ammo HQ after a longish break, Digital Soundboy Benny Page aka Goldstar lays down a track of epic proportion. Entitled 'Crazy' Benny delivers a jungle anthem which reminisces 93/94 jungle tracks like 'Dark Stranger'. But obviously giving the track a typical Benny Page feel with added female vocals on top of his extra tight production and rollin sub bass lines.

This new ep retraces Ceephax's history and its very own personal and genious way to appropriate a musical style with always such generosity. From the dubstep of 'Souley Man', the sunset dancefloor hit 'Bacardi Breezer', the drum n bass track 'Dona Hue', the break bit track 'Turrican 2' to 'Ticker Train', an acid bomb that defies anybody to not let themselves get carried away by these wild bpm.

Intense experimental electronic group Rocketnumbernine have just supported RADIOHEAD in New York (along with Kieran Hebden's FOURTET) especially requested by Thom Yorke. This coincide with the release of this VERY LIMITED 12' single EP on SOUL JAZZ RECORDS.

Their first single was released earlier this year on Kieran Hebden (FOURTET)'s own label. Rocketnumbernine have been touring and performing with FOURTET since 2010. GILLES PETERSON has also been a long time fan which has led to a ROCKETNUMBERNINE live session on Gilles' RADIO ONE show and performing at his WORLDWIDE Awards.

Rocket No. 9 are London based brothers Ben (keyboards) and Tom Page (drums).

Spearhead Records have been putting out some amazing music this year and this release is no exception. Estonian trio Mutated Forms team up with S.I.N to produce this slice of modern day dancefloor. The A side leans slightly more towards the more mellow side of drum and bass where as the AA really goes in deep hitting some ridiculously low frequencies.

Horribly Ribbed featured on the latest Barcode digital album 'SONGS FROM THE DEAD'. A 10 track banging album with tracks from Katharsys, Audio, Current Value, Donny and more. Horribly Ribbed got such great response that the Barcode labelboss decided to bring it to a special LIMITED release on vinyl!

On Intransigent's 17th vinyl release, Current Value shows a bit of his musical side, while DJ G-I-S exactly knows what to do to make a massive club banger out of this charming tune with Snow's lovely vocals. Long awaited and now finally here: INTREC017

Ital Tek shows a massive shift in sound on the 'Gonga EP', inspired by the spate of footwork and related mutants of the style that Planet Mu has been releasing recently, creating exit strategies from the current virus of the 90s inspired retro house fad.'Gonga' is an extremely powerful track, rolling out weird, syncopated tabla-style drums over tough dancehall-esque rolling kicks and rising clavs, building up a huge vertiginous rush of ascending synth lines that leave you breathless. 'Pixel Haze' uses deep layers of 8-bit synth and lush melodies to create a huge swelling sea over which footwork kicks and basslines roll. 'Cobalt' takes things darker and colder, with a pumping kick drum reminiscent of technoid drum'n'bass. With some of dubstep's elegant spaces, a swelling metallic sound and 808 drums it leaves a dark and oppressive feeling. µ-Ziq's take on 'Gonga' is more minimal than the original, throwing in odd syncopations, diva vocals and a more jungle-inspired drum sound, layering rhythms in syncopated patterns over the pitched-up tabla sound of the original. Altogether a thoughtful and brilliant new sound.

With massive plaudits for his first EP on Black Acre and an unprecedented presence on radio 1, anticipation is high for Memotone's second release.

to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive...*- Robert Louis Stevenson 1881In early 2010, a rogue electronic musician journeyed into an isolated East London industrial estate and setup temporary accommodation in a disused clothing factory. Armed only with antiquated studio-hardware, a polybag full of Shulgin's finest, and reinforced by a nearby Funktion One vendor, he set about creating the conditions for a series of musical events on his own terms. The terms and conditions were simple: *do whatever you want*. Now, in the autumn of 2011, the sounds of this musical journey are ready to make their way into the World.

The 'Hummer' EP is the follow up to the successful 'Judgement Day' EP by Calibre for Samurai Red Seal and has been compiled to represent a cross section of Calibre's versatile musical styles. The 'Hummer' EP is harder edged musically and perhaps more dancefloor focused than his more recent releases, but as always the quality quotient is 100%. From the soaring bass of 'Hummer', to the controversial dancefloor groove of 'Dog Shit' and the more traditional soulful mastery of 'Touch Me' and 'Free My Mind', this EP truly has it all. Support from DJ Marky, Marcus Intalex, Friction, dBridge, Flight, Spectrasoul, Lenzman, London Elektricity, Fabio, Doc Scott, Total Science and a whole lot more.

Producer and singer Cooly G returns after a lengthy release hiatus with a new single for Hyperdub that's a taste of her seriously good forthcoming debut album 'Playing Me', due early next year. These two tracks are especially chosen for their dancefloor power and suitability, but showcase how her singular style has developed into something truly special. The breathtaking, cosmic depth of 'Landscape' features production assistance from Simbad. In a very direct way it makes a case for Cooly's development and confidence as a singer but also her ability to mix immersive, frayed synths with catchy song writing and driving tribal drums that keep the whole track buoyant. The flip side ' It's serious', made with legendary Baltimore house producer Karizma, has a pitch black atmosphere, with dubbed, echoey voices and synths spiralling out of the mix, weaving in and out of some seriously flipped, tough funky kicks and snares and a loose kettle drum. To put it simply, there is truly no one creating music out there quite like this right now, and this single is a strong indicator of her album's testament to a unique and original talent.

It's been a long time coming but finally Deep Medi are proud to present, Japan's biggest Dubstep export V's arguably one of Jamaica's all-time biggest stars Max Romeo to bring you 'Babylon Fall'. This is Goth-Trad's latest release and last before his album. The EP leads with 'Babylon Fall' featuring Max Romeo. Max Romeo is best known for his album 'War In A Babylon' produced by Lee Scratch Perry at the Black Art Studios featuring classics, 'One Step Forward', 'War In A Babylon' and the Reggae anthem 'Chase the Devil'. Goth-Trad lays down a trademark bass heavy, rumbling rhythm with Max Romeo still showing after all these years that his vocal is still standing strong and lyrical content bringing positive vibes in these troubled times. 'Falling Leaf' and 'Sublimation' see Goth-Trad in a deep techno mood. 'Falling Leaf' is a relentless barrage of sub bass and industrial dub mechanics whilst Sublimation is more stealth like with its late night inner city running's, think Japan via Detroit touching down in the UK. With 'Itinerant Priest' we have saved the biggest dance-floor destruction till last, from the opening chimes, organ drone and intense rave stabs through to the fierce pulsating bass you know this has got pure, unadulterated mayhem written all over it.

You might know Hatti Vatti from an outstanding piece of music 'Different Music' written for Mindset back in 2009. A soulful Dubstep, Techno fusion that many will remember in the years to come as a great record. Now Polish born Hatti Vatti gives us a sneak peak on his debut recording for On The Edge, expected release April 2011. Another Dubstep, Techno fusion featuring vocals from Echo Ranks. Then, as if the original wasn't enough to wet your ear drums, the legend that is Andy Stott is on remix duties! He hasn't gone as industrial as some of his previous productions you might have heard, but still seriously Dub Techno and I for one have been playing the remix to death. All together a great (no pun intended) package!

Here we have another big release from Jaydan's Smokin Riddim's imprint. On the A side you get exactly what you'd expect from the ever popular Midlands based producer. His frequencies are perfect yet again and the sub on this riddim will blow your socks off. On the flip you're treated to some new skool talent who have been making waves on the Drum and Bass scene and what a perfect debut release. Big beats and super warm bass collide to create this absolute dancefloor destroyer.

Germany based producer Kassem Mosse releases his second EP for Nonplus, entitled Enoha, The four track release follows on from last year's ' We Speak To Those/Hi Res' 12 inch for the label, which is run by UK duo Instra:mental. This year Mosse - real name Gunnar Wendel - has already released two solo EPs, including the Workshop 12 and a limited 7 for Mikrodisco which included the brilliant DJ Koze-esque mindfuck house track '7am'. http://www.inhabitonline.co.uk

Following from the Cosmic Bridge debut release - a collaboration with label head Om Unit titled Solar Cycle / Merkabah - UK bass music heavyweight Kromestar returns for the label's second release with a solo four-track EP titled Parallel Sounds. A pioneer of the early dubstep sound, Kromestar has spent most of the late 00s releasing on labels such as Mala Mystikz's Deep Medi, Southside and Fantastic 3. Since 2010 he's been busy exploring new sonic territories and this experimentation shines through this EP for Cosmic Bridge. Across the four tracks, Kromestar delves into low-slung 80-90bpm realms while still exercising the bottom end pressure and infectious swing he's become known for. Parallel Sounds also includes the hotly-tipped beatless production The Outer Limits a collaboration with Team Starfleet that does away with the standard template and results in a deeply unique experience.The tracks on Parallel Sounds have been getting heavy rotation on Om Unit's Maisonette Electronique podcasts as well as on his Boiler Room appearance (http://boilerroom.tv/om-units-45-min-mix/). Jay 5ive has also been supporting the music on the pioneering Rinse FM. Response so far has been both positive and overwhelming leading to this release in the closing months of 2011.Alongside his forthcoming releases on the Bass N' Love label, the Parallel Sounds EP sheds more light on Kromestar as a producer genuinely not afraid to continue moving forward and experiment sonically. It will also no doubt cement him as a producer worth checking out for each and everytime as we enter 2012. Genre-wise we'll leave it up to you... Just don't go crazy now!

Featuring trademark Mr Scruff artwork!

Frequency Recordings, the sister label to the mighty Ram Records, is back. Set up in 2002 by Red One and Andy C, this label is synonymous with providing a platform for fresh talent to shine, including Hamilton, Basher, DC Breaks, Xample and Sub Focus. Not content with helping break new names, the label has also released music from household names such as Shimon, Moving Fusion and Vicious Circle to name but a few.

Sepalcure are poised to release their eponymous debut full length through Hotflush this November. In advance of the album a key track, 'Pencil Pimp', will be released as a single, backed with an exclusive track, 'I'm Alright'.The single reflects Sepalcure's approach to the album, where Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Braille) utilize the longer format to develop their collaborative process and incorporate the diverse influences present in their solo work to their sonic mixture. Machinedrum's much-heralded Room(s) LP and Sharma's recent EPs on Hotflush and Rush Hour reflect the impact of the frenetic, paranoid rhythms of the modern Chicago underground on the wider electronic world and the return to vogue of another musical style that originated from that city: House. But both artists add a crucial sense of emotional sensibility and melodic sensuality that defines the Sepalcure sound.

yeah they are back and what is this for burner !!
NEW SINGLE TAKEN FROM THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM ZANE LOWE'S 'BIGGEST RECORD IN THE WORLD'

Reading based dubstep label 3.5 do it again with this two part Ep. Label bosses THC and Will Blaze employ the talents of Vista, Spherix, DJ Madd, Riskotheque and XI to do justice to this well known and loved label. Dubstep is blowing up right now so pull your finger out and experience the bass

wo long awaited heavyweight dnb anthems finally make their way into djs hands. End Of Days was one of the feature tracks on the latest Dieselboy mix 'Unleashed'. Halftime drum and bass insanity! 'Nexus Polaris' is another huge tune with heavy rock-style drum work and pummeling industrial strength second drop. Essential!

This EP features five tracks by Baconhead. Out on Eat Concrete.
Baconhead make sci-fi beats to confuse your brain and their newly released 'Astro Sludge EP' perfectly describes this 12' debut by the UK based duo. After their very well received 'Soap EP' (getting support from Slugabed, Si Begg and Kid 606) they've teamed up with eclectic Dutch label Eat Concrete for a series of releases showcasing their sonic agenda.

On SÓLARIS we find the futuristic, gaseous atmospheres & pulses one might expect from a sci-fi soundtrack.

Having jumped back in the D&B saddle towards the end of last year with their stunning album 'Turn The Page' there's been no turning back for Craggz & Parallel who've immersed themselves back in the depths the studio that they share with D Bridge and Kasra. With an array of beats lined up and ready to go C&P decided to let a couple of friends loose on two killer jams from said album; Need For Mirrors and Jubei, please stand up! Jubei jumps up to add his take on 'Future Shock'...and what a job he does. The intro is sick, the drop is sick and the tough drums are just....sick! Bass stabs and surges into the mix like a precision swordsman as the track gets to work demolishing those who bare witness. An awesome dropout ensues and we're back into it right up to the end. Big bad and very, very heavy.Having been a big favourite with the A-list in its original form (even opening Andy C's latest Nightlife mix album), the title track 'Turn The Page' was already a heavy slab of D&B but Need For Mirrors have managed to draw it deeper still. The eerie intro elements remain along with a solid two-step break and that spoken vocal, then it's left up to some classic Full Cycle inspired bass work to rock the speakers for a naughty but oh so nice re-lick from the NFM duo. As far as remix 12's go they don't come much better than this.

An essential collection of balearic & nu-disco grooves

A warm ambient album with deep pads and minimal sound effects.

Jailbreak at the zoo! Totebagz is the collaboration between two of Melbourne's most daring minds, Jerky Perky aka Misha Hallenbach (Perks and Mini, Bamboo Musik) and the most excellent surfer/DJ Biscuit (Moonrocks). When they're not cycling the unknown regions, foraging the bush for "special" funghi or surfing the 50-year storm, they're oozing tweaked cardboard box techno. On this limited edition disc, the Totebagz pile blankets of synth upon deep-fried circuitry upon drum machines that have a mind of their own. To say they take you for a ride would be an understatement. This is what it sounds like when gremlins shack up inside your mixer.

Author's first single is set to land just ahead of their November-slated debut LP for Tectonic. Listeners can expect deep melodic music with real instrumentation and - most importantly - no pretension. A tough combination to deliver effectively, yet Author do so with consumate ease. So who or what is Author A new name on the scene, no doubt, yet the producer duo that constitutes Author are certainly no newbies in their own right. Ryan Gath aka Jack Sparrow has a slew of deep-dubstep dancefloor killers under his belt, as well as the jaw-dropping 2010 'Cicadian' album on Tectonic. Alongside Sparrow is fellow Leeds based beat-sculpter, long standing friend and producer Dom Howard, known for his Ruckspin dubstep production monkier as well as being a key member and producer for the live dubstep super-group Submotion Orchestra. 'The City' is a strong, energetic future-garage riddim packed with depth, subtlety and laden with plenty of dancefloor savvy. The opening strings and city soundscapes set a restrained but tense and melancholic atmosperic context. Almost from nowhere the heavy beats and bass combo drops, delivering hard, rolling garage drums and warp-speed bassline. Full of intricate shuffle and dynamic energy, 'The City' is a killer track all round. Flip for 'Teacher', which expertly captures the essence of the original 2004-2005 dubstep vibe while updating the sonic palette and production levels for 2011. Heavy sub-fuelled bass pummels underneath choppy dubbed out hits and broken tribal drums. Simply quality.

Featuring the remaining tracks from last years Stimulus album - including Dave Clarke fav and title track Modular System.

The EP also features a vinyl exclusive - Incept - taking us into the realm of deep electrobass space exploration. Support from Keith Tucker Aux88, Scape one, Dexorcist, Convexion/Erp, Oliver Bondzio(Hardfloor), and Dave Clarke (Modular system charted and featured in best of 2010 show)

From the Mind of Erik! Dropping the dopest tunes since 1987, Erik is back on the radar in 2011 with these 4 brand new tunes! This gets every Detroit party started and if you are not to stiff in the hips you'll be shaking your ass on these crazy tunes.

The new Citrus is exactly the style you'd expect. Roaring basses, rolling beats and crazy one shots.

Next up in Studio Barnhus' split coloured 10 inch series (the previous installment was Acid Andy and Axel Boman on yellow vinyl) is handsome newcomer HNNY and Barnhus' very own desperado Kornel Kovacs.

MAV is an oldtimer on the Fokuz imprint with his last release from back in 2006. That was a banger though, called Ocean Phantom. Now dutch synth master Mav is back on track with a collab with Syndrome's Krone to add some neuro bass lines to the matter.

The new Command Strange LP on Fokuz is coming up. Of course with every LP comes a sampler.

Mit "Magpies, Maps & Moons" erscheint der letzte Teil der DJ Food Trilogie, die 2009 mit "One Man's Weird Is Another Man's World" begann. Zugleich ist dies der Vorbote des Anfang Januar erscheinenden brandneuen DJ Food Albums

Ed DMX reminds us all he's still number one when it comes to beautiful, esoteric electronic music.
Still aimed squarely at the dancefloor, Ed provides us with a really strong and, as always, diverse package with something for everyone...

Following his collaboration "Scribble" on Underworld's album "Barking" last year, and his remix of Tiësto's "Kaleidoscope" in 2009, the Cardiff based producer behind such contemporary classics as "Racing Green", "If We Ever" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is back to take up his rightful place as one of UK dance music's elite.

The second 12" in volume three of our Producer series. As previously in the
series we've collated a varied selection of exclusive tracks from producers
who are currently bending our ears the right way.

"Shipwreck" is the first single release from Modeselektors new album "Monkeytown". As a tribute to the traditional single format the song is released as a limited 7inch (only 1000 copies worldwide) with an exclusive non album B-Side track.

Silent Dust is the project of UK duo Dan Blishen (originally from Manchester) and Andy Hobbs (hailing from Kent), who produced Drum & Bass together for years under the respective monikers Zyon Base and Hobzee.

THE FORCE is back on his own imprint Rebel Bass with two Club Smashers that have been doing the business over the last few months!! Up first is 'Demon Seed' starting off with an eerie sample that builds the tension before we're told 'the Demon Seed, fear for her'. With enough twists and turns to keep them rocking ‘Demon Seed' is guaranteed to do the business every time! On the flip we've got 'World of Dub'. A Jungle style rinse out which has been going down very well. Support for RBR004 this time around has come from the likes of Crissy Criss, DJ Hype, DJ Hazard, DJ SS, D*Minds, Twisted Individual, Zen, Kenny Ken, Nicky Blackmarket, Micky Finn, Ruffstuff, Majistrate and DJ Pleasure.

TROPIC OF CANCER wrap up their time on Downwards (before their full time move to Blackest Ever Black) with a
retrospective of their Downwards EPs and a collection of early demos - Bloomin' lovely...

This 12' features two wicked tracks from the new A Sides album 'Mysterious Vibes'. A Sides describes both in his own words.: I love 'Temperature's Rising' as it's a perfect example of the rough with the smooth which I love, plus I took Fats' vocals a step higher by having him work harmonies, something which he rarely does. I love the piano, always have since back in the day :) ! 'Ain't Nobody' is also a special track. It's emotional to me and inspired by a certain somebody :) I love the strings, the smooth bass, the piano (again) and the beats which all create real soulful, uplifting vibes.

Both Xtrah & Basher has been causing a stir throughout 2011 with their various releases on the legendary Ram Records. They join forces for their debut release on Subtitles. 'Hubble' and 'Reflections' have both gaining heavy DJ support from the likes of Andy C, Friction, Hype, Goldie, Calyx & Teebee to name a few.

The final 12' Vinyl taken from the Turn The Page album. Whilst other tunes have hinted at it, 'Metroplex' fully embraces their inherent love of techno with huge half-time 808's and synths that would make Juan Atkins chomp at the bit. One for those who know and a lovely surprise for those who are yet to know. On the flip 'Future Shock' sticking with the vintage outboard gear sounds the guys then up it once more for one final drum & bass rollout that has killer written all over it. Turn it up, close your eyes and get marching!

A side ''Under' from Evol Intent featuring a vocals from singer/song writer Jackie B. This dubstep track is dark, sexy, melodic, and poppy, with a bass riff and drums that encourages you to urgently to hit the dance floor, and shake your ass. The vocals are sexy and consistent. She reminds me of Esthero in how she can make underground production sound so polished. Yet she can take you places emotionally because she makes intelligent choices her vocal tonality. The production is dark, and sounds like a eerie episode of a Twin Peaks score. You will be hearing lots more music from her really soon. She's also a great producer as well. (remember where you heard it first.) Look out for more from Evol Intent, and Jackie B in the near future.

Finally released on 12' Vinyl is the Funk Ethics & Lucid Directions (formerly RLD) dub that was flying around last year entitled 'Give', stepping up on the remix duties is Von D who pulls out a truly sublime and sexy refix featuring one of the tastiest bass-lines for sometime. The original sits firmly on the electronica shelf, subtle stabs and lush vocal licks with support coming from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Kidkut and Gilles Peterson.

Introducing Alignment Records, a brand new D&B label from the south-coast. The aim is simple to serve up good honest drum and bass with a deep dark edge directed at the dance floor.The first release comes with a strong south coast connection, first up on the A side we have Bournemouth local Judda who will be known for his successful outings on labels such as Critical, Subtitles and CIA. He has joined forces with Treo straight out of Belgrade (Serbia) who has already racked up and impressive string of releases on labels such as Critical, SOM and C4C to name but a few. In result '6th Element' was born, a straight up bass heavy dance floor destroyer!Flip over to find 'Cobalt' the workings of Pessimist and Arma. Pessimist we are sure many of you have heard of my now with Killer releases on the likes of Ingredients and Critical with a slew of forthcoming tracks on Commercial Suicide, Renegade Hardware and Samurai. Arma is a young trio of producers on the up (Mateba, Overlook and War) Cobalt being the first outing for them as a collective but you wont have to look very hard to find impressive efforts individually. The track kicks off with an eerie haunting intro which soon leads you into crisp breaks and a sub heavy B-Line ready to test any system. This track is COLD!!! Do not sleep!!!
