Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Signature label boss and Drum & Bass stalwart Calibre is continuing his Shelflife series with a new compilation consisting of 11 tracks that as the title would suggest were shelved before. A coherent mix of exotic rollers, atmospheric cuts and euphoric dancefloor anthems is the result. With appearences by DJ Marky and Cleveland Watkiss this addition to the Shelflife series proves to be a relevant showcase of Calibre's diversity and of course a celebration of contemporary Drum & Bass.

Cosmic Bridge kicks off 2016 with the second volume of Om Unit's *Torchlight EP*series, five productions of taut dance floor explorations for the mind, body, and soul.

Having achieved worldwide fame in the past few years with a refreshing take on dubstep, jungle, and sound system aesthetics that saw him embraced by the likes ofGoldie (Metalheadz), dBridge (Exit Records), and Mala (DMZ/Deep Medi), Om Unitset up the Torchlight series in 2014 as an exploratory exercise, a way to seek ideas to further what came before by breaking with personal tradition and exploring studio techniques.' This desire to shine a light into the darker corners of his creativity is also reflected in the series' artwork, a rendering of the alchemical symbol for fire positioned inside the Vesica Piscis, a mathematical symbol representing the void.

*Torchlight vol.2* continues Om Unit's exploration of ideas perpendicular to templates of the dubstep, jungle, and drum & bass worlds. Locked on a 160- 170bpm guiding axis, the EP delves into the deep end of sound system beats with subtle melodic flourishes, thoughtful sampling, and loose structures. 'Connector' opens proceedings with the meditative focus Om Unit has made his trademark, the mood rising in an understated manner. 'Adventures In Eden' comes across like a lost 1994 Good Looking Records anthem, kicking off with a funky percussion line that is soon joined by dense, bright pads—leading the listener into the void—before the breaks are let loose for five minutes of raw skanking. On 'Mothership Riddim', Om Unit teams up with underground legend Mark Force (Reinforced Records, Bugz In The Attic) to call all ravers back aboard for further interplanetary dance floor journeys. The pair weave timeless elements—bright chords, fluid breaks, nasty bass lines—into an uplifting slice of future funk. The EP closes with a pair of eyes-down meditations: 'Transformation' deploys samples that evoke a trek into the deep jungle while 'Angry Buzz' is a darker trip on the back of a bass line melody evoking the spirits of classic 2005 dubstep. Spread out!

Cosmic Bridge was set up in the spring of 2011 as a way for Om Unit to exercise a new found A&R sensibility. Through his support of established and new talents— Kromestar, Boxcutter, Danny Scrilla, Moresounds—the label has become a trusted independent source for fans of adventurous dance music. *Torchlight vol.1*, released in the summer of 2014, was Om Unit's first solo release for the label and it's fitting that vol.2 would open the label's fifth year, setting the tone for what is to come.

*Torchlight vol.2* is the sound of a producer in full control of his creativity inviting you along for a ride into the expanses of sound system's future. Whether enjoyed at home, on the road, or in front of a speaker stack, just let go and come along.

For the 3rd part of The Alignment 'Downtime' we
are pleased to bring you 2 delectable slice of liquid
funk from Paul T, featuring two collaborations, one
with Austia's RoyGreen & Protone and one with
Paul SG.

music he loves, and has loved for a period of over
20 years, to as many people as possible. His
passion, style and professionalism is second to
none, and all those who have come into contact
with his music cannot fail but to be impressed by his
hard work, dedication and commitment to what he
does.

underground electronic music since the early days
of the UK club and rave scene in 1990. He first fell
in love with the music at clubs like Reincarnation,
Seduction and Orange and he then started DJing,
eventually getting into production, working with
Suburban Base Records, and worldwide drum &
bass legend Adam F.
Paul's production accomplishments read like a
who's who of the hottest labels in the game. He's
had cuts on Goodlooking/Looking Good, Dispatch,
Mars, Spearhead....

Top-Compilation mit allen neun 50 Weapons Remix-Maxis, die fast komplett alle erstmals auf CD erscheinen, in chronologischer Reihenfolge. Das Tracklisting enthält einige der besten Produzenten elektronischer Musik: von Moderat über Robert Hood bis Marcel Dettmann, von Chris Liebing über Legowelt bis Modeselektor. Als weiterer Bonus erscheinen 4 bislang unveröffentlichte, exklusive Top-Remixes auf beiden Formaten.

r any record, that's come before it. After the unlikely alliance between the Los Angeles label and the iconoclastic Venice, CA musician on Trickfinger, all bets are off. This one's truly a passage through night. Frusciante's using elements of John Carpenter's eternal scores, the drum programming DNA of jungle and footwork, and yes, a Roland TB-303, all slowed down to a crawl. Foregrow is a lurching, lysergic beauty which offers glimpses of his platinum pop instincts, but only behind the veil of true experimentalism.

A dark rain falls on the reeds. The girl stands in the marsh. Night birds are wailing. Slowly she sinks in the water. No other way. An immaterial wave swells around her. The voice echoes on the other side of the liquid wall. Going. She reaches her hand out to the translucent water and passes through... Her entire body, shivering, travels across. Gone. She falls down the self-sufficient hole. The white noise of the water becomes unbearable. Deafened, the girl tries to escape the surveillance of the sonar system. She finally crawls out of the aqueous tunnel : in front of her, lay the Basses-Terres.

It's time for another limited release from Absys Records. This time we're offering a brilliant EP by Hatti Vatti & Lady Katee - a duo recognized well on both Polish and global electronic music scene. You can be sure about the quality of the release - after, all Hatti Vatti is a producer recording with e.g. Synkro, and his tracks have been remixed by Andy Stott and ASC, for instance, Lady Katee, in turn, is known for her vocal endeavours as part of her post-rock band called Little White Lies. 'Farba Wszystkich Zdarzen' labelled as ABSLTD006 is a pink-coloured 10inch vinyl EP containing 4 tracks, constituting a smooth combination of fresh electronica, characterized by a mixture of depth, subtlety and gentle sound of contemporary electronic music and a delicate layer of vocals. As a whole, the EP seems to be hitting the rather more positive, upbeat notes, but still far from simplicity or tackiness, which is an undeniable asset, especially in terms of escaping the ever-expanding mainstream. Interestingly enough, the title track - 'Farba Wszystkich Zdarzen' (check out the official video! (youtu.be/2vCu5wKYXeI) - is the only track recorded by the duo, where you can hear Lady Katee sing in Polish. A small tribute to the duo's motherland, if you may.

VA EP on our Invisible label featuring Davip, Lockjaw, Bl4ck Owlz and Abstract Elements

Limited Coloured Vinyl pressing. We welcome Loxy & Resound to Samurai Music. Loxy is one of the true innovators of Drum and Bass. A man with many years of experience in music production, DJing, and indeed being a vital member of the Drum & Bass movement since its inception. Combine this with the talents of fellow veteran of the scene and production sensai Resound, and the result is an overflowing supply of knowledge and skill ground together into a potent and unique future vision. Their single for Samurai Music displays two very different styles, again an indicator of the depth of this duos ability. The list of labels Loxy & Resound have released with is long and impressive, including crucial names like Metalheadz, Renegade Hardware, and more recently Exit Records who released their ground breaking 'Burning Shadows' LP in 2011. We are proud to now be added to that list.

Drum&BassArena, the genres most respected authority, returns this Spring with the 2016 edition of their best-selling album series

Synonymous with consistent high-quality and meticulous curation, the Drum&BassArena annual is one of the most anticipated releases on the calendar, and the 2016 edition is no different.

Boasting 60 tracks across 3 CD's with 11 exclusives, Drum&BassArena 2016 serves as a uniting force between all styles of the genre as it explores and celebrates talent from every corner.

It follows closely behind another astronomical year for the genre which included more chart topping D&B records including Rudimental's second studio album We The Generation, countless D&B artists achieving daytime A-list playlist radio play and even more of these artists securing main stage festival bookings worldwide - a true testament to the genre's unrelenting growth and development.

Representing players old and new, this album will take you on a sometimes gritty, sometimes mesmerizing - but most likely a combination of both - sonic journey that exemplifies the breadth and depth of D&B in it's current state.

180 gram heavyweight vinyl + transparent sticker in die-cut logo jacket. Paradox Musicspread their wings and deliver an instrumental Breakbeat album evoking the late 80's Beats, Breaks & Scratches era.

Wax Breaks features 16 Breakbeat tracks for Break Djs, Rappers and Music Producers. Each track has been note-pitched for mixing and sampling purposes at 33 and 45 rpm.

From Hip-hop to Drum & Bass and Downtempo, Wax Breaks is the versatile Breakbeat tool for live performance and studio production.

* Returning to Dispatch LTD after a string of successful and hard hitting releases, DBR UK are back to present their debut album, entitled 'Rough Edges', comprised of sixteen original productions from the UK trio.

* 'Rough Edges' is an ethos by which DBR UK live by in the studio, an ethos and distinctive style which has been developed over the years and throughout their own influences. Made up of varying elements, styles and attitudes within drum & bass, the album covers the trio's full spectrum, carried out with their own unique flair. * Certified masters of crafting their basslines and low ends to perfection, the pulse keeps every track pumping with soul, carefully mapped out and delivered to a tee, whatever the chosen direction. Eloquently arranged, but purposely gritty, dynamic but not over-complicated and never straightforward, glossy or predictable, it's an ideology the group stand by, whether it's a melodic vocal swathe or a murderous minimal mod. * Equipped with murky steppers for the shadowy back rooms such as 'Demolition' (ft. Slippy Skills), the album journeys through old skool & dub focused influences, like reece thronged 'Dark Alley' and hypnotic stroller 'Man Hunt'.

* Alongside their solo productions, the album also sees guest collaborators from the past and present combining efforts, with Skeptical, Structured, Gremlinz & Ahmad helping craft the gullied landscapes, the poignant and piercing vocals of MC Fokus striking at the jugular in 'Blood Water and the smooth, dulcet tones of Amanda Seal perfectly contrasting to the darkness and hysteria, before leading the listener back up the garden path.

* Back on the scene with a vengeance, having blown us away with an astounding quality and output, DBR UK deliver their first long player, 'Rough Edges', utilizing their subtly edged weaponry to maximum effect.

* Part Two of Artificial Intelligence's album sampler is here! The second giving from the debut album for Metalheadz- Timeline, three huge tracks feat Dawn Wall and Terri Walker

* Is This Real
Is This Real harks back the hey day of Fabio's Swerve weekdays, rolling and soulful. It has a lovely female vox that plays out over its reversed counterpart. The bass is an interplay of the live sounding mid and deep sub bass with shuffling drums and dream like pads providing the soundscape.

* Scrolls (feat. Dawn Wall) (SAMPLER 2 EXCLUSIVE)
Scroll features the mysterious Dawn Walls whom very little actually known about, the track is driving and instantly conjures images of flying thousands of feet in the air with the classic diva vocal bringing character to the warping bass and two step drums

* Once more Quarantine reaches out with another two cuts this time from Fierce and Dom and again on the AA with Fierce and Zero T. Resonance and Turncoat now both feature in the ongoing saga that is Quarantine...

* "Resonance" Tight rigorous drums weld the backbone of this monstrous Homage to soundclash 94 DNB. Fierce & Dom roll out the hideous, caustic low end into an arrangement that is for any soundboy to wield.
* "Turncoat" Once again, Fierce & Zero T continue in the vein of the late 90's more music for the floor.
* Both these tracks continue the return of Quarantine and have been getting supported and played by Friction, Fabio, Doc Scott, Hype, dBridge, Marky, and many more.

Congo Natty, auch ehemals bekannt als Rebel MC, ist zwar nur ein Mann, aber genauso auch der Kern einer Familie und ganzen Bewegung. Mit "Jungle Revolution" veröffentlicht er nun ein Album, welches den Fokus klar definiert. Auf zehn Tracks zeigt Mikail Tafari aka Congo Natty, wie er Jungle heutzutage sieht: Als Re-Boot mit den Wurzeln von Reggae für ein neues Jahrhundert. Voll mit Herzblut, feuerigem Bass, Drum-Breaks, tollen Hooklines, berechtigter Angst und den Vorzügen der Liebe ist dieses Album eines jener Art, die so roh, spirituell und schön sind, wie selten ein Album dieses Genres. "The message of reggae is Ras Tafari and Ras Tafari is love", erklärt Congo Natty. Diese Message wird vorgetragen mit Hilfe vieler Freunde, darunter an den Vocals u.a. Top Cat, General Levy, Daddy Freddy, Tippa Irie, Phoebe "Iron Dread" Hibbert. Die Produktionen stammen u.a. von Serial Killerz und Benny Page. Abgemischt wurde das Album von On-U Sound Legende Adrian Sherwood und Skip McDonald! Dieses Album zeigt, dass Congo Natty mehr als eine Legende ist. Er ist ein Revoluzzer, und die Revolution nimmt nun ihren Lauf.

"Limited edition marbled vinyl 12". Manchester's Liam Blackburn aka Indigo is an artist devoted to sound and its effects on our lives.
Now signed to R&S offshoot 'Apollo', he joins Samurai Red Seal for a guest appearance after his debut for the Samurai camp with the
popular (and now sold out) 'Reaching The Source' vinyl EP for Samurai Horo and a contribution to our 'Scope' LP, also on Samurai
Horo.
The 'Storm' EP showcases the focused menace the Indigo style is capable of, with tightly wound musical energy bursting through the
cracks on title track 'Storm' and 'Volta'. 'Spirit Of The Winds' (with Versa) lets the energy unwind slightly more with a powerful, but
ultimately subtle showcase of breakbeats, while 'Condition' submerges the listener in a sumptuous bed of reverb and production
finesse.
Now working on his debut LP for Apollo in 2014, the 'Storm' EP is a mouth-watering collection that puts Indigo again at the front of
an innovative pack of producers working in and around 170 bpm electronica. DJ support from dBridge, Marcus Intalex, Spectrasoul,
Doc Scott, Loxy, Synkro, Om Unit, Hybris and more.
"'...Volta' is immediate, crashing precisely about with targeted and programmed efficiency. 'Spirit of the Winds' (co-produced with
Versa) provides a glimpse of the more introspective nature. 'Storm' is the lost call of a dying submarine, finishing on dub decay of
'Condition'." Mark Gurney for DJ Mag UK 8/10 review
"Indigo 'Volta' - deading the game" Om Unit

We warmly welcome back Kettel who makes his return to Clone/DUB records since his debut Cenny Crush 15 years ago (which was followed by the brilliant Whisper Me Wishes in 2007). After a hiatus of 3 years since his last release Kettel is releasing his new album on Clone Records. The talented musician has been busy with producing music for computer games and commercials, but is now offering a fine selection of pieces he has made in the last couple years with this full length in mind. The result is a playful, inspiring, eclectic, delicate, melodic, well-balanced and brilliantly produced album fuzzing elements of electronica, classical music, jazz and techno stirred into flawless, memorable compositions. As a 90's kid Kettel has always been inspired by the early electronica pioneers (whose names don't even need to be mentioned... everyone knows who we're talking about right), and on this album too you can hear some of the aesthetics of those late 90's productions, but adopted into Kettel's unique world of confident rhythms and melodies filled with expression. The music on this record has a lyrical quality to it and is so expertly written that it does not strictly depend on it's electronical environment: these compositions would still stand firm performed on whatever combination of instruments. Another lovely and magical release by Kettel thats spreading good vibes from the first to the last second!

Mirror Universe 1-2 4Gb USB

-36 Tunes in MP3 and WAV format
-A sample pack with 181 WAV samples from the album
-Extra media (artworks, unique Eatbrain wallpapers)
Technicians at the powerful EATBRAIN label have spent the last year researching ways to step beyond the now legendary TALES OF THE UNDEAD LP chapter of their history, roaming the lands to uncover new technologies to deliver the future of electronic music into our hands. This journey took them to the theory of the mirror universe - the implications of which are about to invert the DnB spectrum, deeply disrupting the minds and ears of the vast Eatbrain audience.

We begin at the dawn of time, before the formation of stars and celestial bodies, before all matter existed as an intensely hot homogeneous soup. Starting at the point from which the initial singularity erupted, setting the path of the Universe as we know it and in the process forging a twin universe to our own. A parallel mirror universe to which this leading neurofunk label have ripped open a portal..

EATBRAIN are very proud to present the MIRROR UNIVERSE LPs - plucked from the very fabric and citizens of the twin reality and ours. Maintaining the portal between universes continuously over the past year, a significant amount of audio material has made it across the divide. With producers and their mirror twins in both universes working to deliver a stunning array of tracks and constructing LP's of unprecedented scope.

Delivering 18 tracks x 2 across both releases and featuring scene giants such as OPTIV & BTK, MAZTEK, STATE OF MIND, MOB TACTICS, DUB ELEMENTS and MINDSCAPE, this is an LP sets a bold statement. Noisia-favourite DISPROVE makes his debut on the label - with Eatbrain fans having been ravenously piecing together fragments of his outstanding contribution FRQNCS to hear it in its entirety. He appears alongside a diverse array of well-respected Eatbrain artists such as L 33, QO, SIGNS, TELEKENESIS and many more. This backed by hard-hitting material from newly emerging artists and label boss JADE himself, who delivers new solo material with 'They Are Mutants!' that cuts to the core of the heavy groove of the Eatbrain sound.

With the vast amount of material presented in the MIRROR UNIVERSE LPs, Eatbrain make a bold statement of intent in the DnB landscape of the universe we inhabit.

An ominous cloud looms overhead and forms a vicious and lethal storm of dastardly booming sounds - systems collide to form what can only be described as a malicious and unrelenting super-storm, just like explicit sound content within TNT 014...

Brace yourself for an barrage of Crossbreed , Drum and Bass and all over Hardcore madness. This release includes a mixture of 14 collaborations and solo appearances from eRRe, Hardlogik, Syrinx, Unknown System, Fundo and a remix from Ruffneck and will be available in CD format on its own, and as a part of a special 'Necrochasm' pack full of all sorts of goodies which will be available for purchase on December 3rd, 2015.

Narratives Music returns after 6 months with the first of a new wave of music for 2016.Blocks and Escher present Narratives 011 and a new artist to the label.

This debut from Concealed Identity offers a beautiful and hard hitting double A Side which conjures up visions and tales truly fitting of the track titles and the Narratives Music camp.

First aired on Friction's BBC Radio 1 show, the lush and warm Levanter, has been a fixture in Blocks and Escher sets for months and moved dancefloors across Europe in 2015. A true example of beautiful agression.

The flip side, Calavera, is a different beast entirely. Equally as musical as Levanter, trumpets and guitars introduce the listener to this piece of music but the introduction of the bass reveals a very different and contrasting side to the artist.

Calavera has grabbed the attention of DJ's across the Drum and Bass scene, championed by the Metalheadz camp and finding its way into the highest calibre DJ's sets.

picked up a tune for their next CD and MTV is scheduling placement into several of their reality shows.

Step up, strap in, this is gonna be a dirty ride....

That's the name which is used by the complete body inked cousins Sigi Aigner and Didi Bruckmayr for their
outstanding performances on Club Dance-parties, Festivals, Free-parties and weddings in the Home- and Foreign-
Countries since more than two years. At their shows they use deep bass-lines, demanding beats, gentle hooklines
and raging 3-D objects. The large sized Mr. State-opera-chorister Aigner and the dwarfish Universal-bush-leaguer
Dr. Bruckmayr also are known for their benedictional work with the performance-group Fuckhead; for them they
count as finded minds. Mussurunga is a frowing suburb of the brazilian provincial capital Salvador da Bahia, which Aigner and Bruckmay vistied job related. While one of them waited without success for a date in Mussurunga and spent all the spondulix which was meant for the taxi, the other one worked very hard in the regional beach-bars on artistic concepts. The result of this jobshare is, among other things, the present EP.

Limited to only 250 copies on 140g black vinyl

Its been a long time coming but Jubei is back on Metalheadz with 5 tracks of unmistakeable quality

* a) Congo
If there is one thing that you expect from Jubei, its absolute clinical rolling funk. This is the perfect example of that. An instant favourite at Headz HQ, Congo has been doing lots of damage in the hands of those who were lucky enough to have it.

* b1) Paragon (Feat. Rumour)
Rumour is a vocalist discovered by Jubei in a listening session and instantly drafted in for the EP, his voice has a lot of character and Jubei nails the execution of the vocal against the gliding track.

* b2) Out of Sight (Feat. Tyrone)
Written alongside 1/3 of Chroma Tyrone, the track is a break led roll out, the stab chops and changes its way throughout, whilst the drums retain maximum energy
