Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

* Horizons Music presents their first ever solo single from the one and only, Break. Constantly a prominent producer within Drum & Bass for obvious reasons, the Bristol based producer and Symmetry label boss is renowned for his snappy drums, taut basslines and impeccable production. Not many can muster the level of feel-good vibe, whilst keeping a powerful, yet clean and controlled production value, making Break one of the most unique producers today.
* 'Moving On' is smattered with sun glazed saxophone and guitar licks, reminiscent of tracks from his debut album 'Symmetry'. Whilst 'On the Off' dynamically shifts into weightier regions, combining heavy bass stabs with a steadfast drum pattern that confidently cuts through the mix.

DLR makes his mark on Metalheadz with four track EP that includes one bonus track. The producer invites Mako and Rider Shafique along for the journey and in-turn the EP sounds like one of his most accomplished and varied releases to date.
* Your Mind Feat Mako
There are many adjectives we could use to describe this track, however it does need to be heard to be understood. You can try and emulate the classic Headz sound but the best way to approach the gauntlet thrown down by Goldie is to put your own spin on it, after all the purpose of history is to learn from it, not to repeat it.
* 10 Steps
Almost quite far eastern in its textures, the beauty is soon replaced by 3am at Fabric energy brought to you by mid-range fizz and stepping drums, 10 steps add another element of personality to proceedings
* Sense Of Waiting
This track may well be the most straight up dancefloor track on the EP. A DJ's dream in that it just rolls and rolls and will suit most tastes as its techy enough to hold its own in that arena aswell as having enough interesting elements to keep it fresh throughout its course
* Seek Knowledge Feat Mako and Rider Shafique
Rider comes with the goods on this halftime dub work out from DLR and Mako. A silent killer as it lures you into a false sense of security before envelopes you into huge bass and textures come at you from all angles. DLR, Mako and Rider push themselves to new heights on this.

* When new music drops into the inbox from Nymfo for Dispatch, we know it's not something to take lightly. Following on from his huge 'Recollection / Desert Heat' single, this is no exception and the Flying Dutchman has pulled it out again for us.* 'Coming Through' opens the proceedings, as a gem of the deeper elements. Crisp drums confidently flank, but the warm, inviting bassline steals the show. Gliding elegantly across the dancefloor, it lures you in with developing layers of persuasion. * Things get a bit more technical in 'Survivor' as Nymfo teams up in collaboration with Detail, for a razor sharp percussive assault. Dramatically leading in with majestic pads, the techy drum work of the main body is separated by a deep cinematic breakdown. * Last, but by no means least, 'Tower of David' ties things up as a digital exclusive for the single. Twisted bass textures terrorize, whilst remaining composed and almost nonchalant, sewing an element of funk into the track. Bound to catch you off guard!Online

This Illumination track from 1998 has been a long time favourite of Twitch's that can instantly change the atmosphere in a club, sounds like very little else, is eminently mixable and great fun to mix with. It was only when the master arrived that the realisation came that for all these years he had been playing it at the wrong speed! It is meant to be slow but Twitch had always played it at 45 instead of 33. The vinyl version will be pressed so it can be played at either speed while the digital will be the sped up to the 45 version. It starts off soft and dubbed out until the almost overwhelming bass tones appear only to make way for apocalyptic drum cascades that on a good sound system truly sound like the end of the world.


Mr. Marvin's "I Want You" came out on R&S offshoot Global Cuts in 1993. Made by Italian, Marvin Sasha, who under the name Sasha made a great series of timeless EPs around the same time, this is a hypnotic tribal gem with seemingly random, panning vocal interjections. Great in the mix but much more than a mere mixing tool.

Lastly is Fuel's "Rigid" which came out on the UK label SCR in 1995 at the time when Chicago's Relief Records were taking over the more discerning DJs' record boxes. This sounds like it shares some DNA with one of the many crazy tracks or remixes Green Velvet was making at this time; Industrial strength, stroboscopic snare tattoos that will have you reaching out for the smoke machines on button every time.

All three have been tried and tested countless times since they were originally released and come with an Optimo Trax guarantee that if played in the right way, at the right point in the night they will not fail to work on the dancefloor, or you get your money back.

This is the sampler taken from the Liquid Soldiers LP and it includes two tracks called 'Soul Things' and 'Obstacles'. These are two artistic works that are very aesthetically pleasing that reminded us of the golden days of Drum and Bass. These tracks have been getting heavy support from LTJ Bukem, Mutated Forms, BCee and Alix Perez.

Mortem returns! One of Demands keyartists graces us with two brand new cuts "Midnight Analogs" and "Y.O.U" for our 24th release.
The young polish Drum & Bass producer has been busy in the last 1.5 years finishing various production projects and latetly got back into the studio to finish off this stellar single. After the success of his last single "Bring It Down" / "Malfunction" in Summer 2013, Mortem once again proofs that he's a master of basslines. While "Midnight Analogs" is a hard hitting dancefloor track with trademark subtile soul vocals, "Y.O.U" is more of a deeper afair. A track that builds up slowly to turn into a minimal bass roller. Naughty!

White Vinyl Pressing!
Diffrent Music, So Far.. Speaks for itself really, this brand new vinyl series brings together a handful of carefully selected tracks that until now have been available only as digital downloads. This is the first offering, and a whole lot of love has gone into making this product a real milestone for the label.
The A side, titled "Foundations" brings together two of the original Diffrent Music artists, with their debut single's title tracks; Jekyll - "Drainpipe" slimy and clogged up with bass as you can imagine, now remastered and cut into the analogue realm, along with Arkaik's 2010 "Stress Relief" which has always been way ahead of its time. The flip-side, "Movements", carries two slightly newer productions, Dexta & Hyroglifics "Boxgroove" which caused a lot of damage earlier in 2014 now sounding double thick cut deep into the vinyl grooves, the last and by no means least track is Fearful's 2013 "Tongues" - Not only was this one of the most popular track's that'd ever seen the day of light, but it's also one of the most experimental yet dance-floor jams we have to offer. Everyone involved is truly proud of this record and we all hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the past 4 years or so!

* Re-mastered from the original DAT tape - this is a strictly limited edition 180gram vinyl release
* Voted Number 1 D&B track of all time in Knowledge Magazine
* Included in DJ Mags recent Top 100 D&B tracks of all time
* Timeless Bad Company UK classic still played regularly by all the top DJs to this day - 15 years after its original release
* Widely regarded as one of the most important production teams in Drum and Bass' rich history, Bad Company UK or )E3( formed the prototype of a radical new style of Drum and Bass. Combining cutting edge bass, synths and attitude now taken for granted, Bad Company forged their own path, with members Jason Maldini (Maldini), Darren White (dBridge), Dan Stein (Fresh), and Michael Wojcicki (Vegas) creating a lasting legacy with seminal hits such as The Nine, Nitro, Ladies of Spain and more.
* Now some of the tracks which helped define a genre are ready to rock the scene once again. Now Remastered with redone artwork and on all formats, Bad Taste Recordings is proud to present BTBCUK1, the first in a series of BCUK reissues - widely regarded as some of DnB's most important works.
* The Nine needs no introduction. A classic combination of eerie synths, a relentless bassline and that iconic horn, The Nine is a track that is a favourite of old heads and new DnB retruits alike. Throw in its famous ever shifiting drums, and The Nine chugs on - always whipping the dancefloor to a frenzy.
* After introduction featuring bold drums and clattering snares, Dog Fight transforms into a techy, fast paced roller. Featuring precise synths, intricate, tribal-like percussion and a bustling bassline, Dog Fight helped form the foundations of the techy Drum and Bass Style - and still sounds as urgent and groundbreaking as the day it was made.

'Anthems' is Ministry of Sound's most successful series, selling to date a massive 4.5 million albums over 7 years. This latest instalment, that has so far been a glaring omission, takes on the British phenomenon that is Drum & Bass.
This exclusive three-disc compilation draws together, for the first time, the key anthems, producers and artists that helped the music evolve from the streets of Britain's inner cities into a worldwide scene that, today, still hasn't stopped moving forward.
We kick off the epic anthology with one of the biggest D&B tracks of all time from Goldie with the iconic 'Inner City Life' before we also move into arguably the genre's biggest timeless classics; 'Circles' by Adam F and Roni Size's 'Brown Paper Bag' all feature before we take things up a notch with the true roots of Drum & Bass with a selection of authentic jungle from the likes of Ray Keith, The Ganja Kru, Origins Unknown, Micky Finn & Aphrodite, DJ SS and of course 'Incredible' by M-Beat Feat. General Levy.
CD2 encompasses an eclectic selection of the genre's street music that resonated its way into the mainstream featuring well known hit anthems such as 'Shake Your Body' from Shy FX, 'LK' From DJ Marky and the infectious 'Barcelona' from D.Kay & Epsilon, before we move into rollers including the likes of Dilinja, Pendulum, Ram Trilogy and E-Z Rollers.
Finally it's time to bring the genre up-to-date with a selection of jaw-dropping modern-day masterpieces that have smashed their way into today's charts and clubbing culture; this disc includes all of the new generation of talent featuring Chase & Status, High Contrast, Sub Focus, Wilkinson, Sigma and DJ Fresh who have all taken the Drum'n'Bass sound back into mainstream youth culture.

* Up next on Sonata Recordings we have the sublime and beautiful Soul 101 / Soul 201 single with two tracks of what can only be described as seminal, old skool, and forward thinking dance floor smashers!!! Brothers John & Dom (SoulStructure) deliver the goods with collaboration help from Tim Cant on one side, and with a different twist featuring Blade on the other. When the track versions came in, both were enjoyed so much at Sonata HQ we simply couldn't decide which was better so they both got a release on the back of each other in the end. Massive amen beats, lush pads, 808 basslines, whale samples, and beautiful female vocals mix together to produce something really special and dedicated to times past, present and future. Explosive peak time liquid for the dance floor Very reminiscent of early Good Looking Records material, PFM and all that other goodness from the golden era!

*Anyone that is already familiar with the Hybrid Minds sound will know exactly why BCee was keen to get them on the label. Hybrid Minds have got the funk and soul that Spearhead fans have come to know and love. Both Meant To Be and Unconditional are so damn sexy that if this record were a human, it would be a playboy centrefold yet modest enough to have a fig leaf covering it's vitals.
*DJ support for these tracks, and other recent productions has come from Jakwob, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Metrik, Technimatic & many more.*'Meant To Be' is an hands in the air piano anthem. Lush chords and a rolling beat are perfectly complimented by Grimms haunting vocals.
*'Unconditional' takes a more steppy vibe and digs just a little bit deeper. Lush keys, chilled vibes and soulful vocals, the Hybrid Minds formula is working to the max.

* Response has been prolific in the last 12 months and there's no stopping him! Hailing from Manchester, he has a fantastic record collection dating back to mid 80's House and his older brother has influenced him massively on great dance music. It's these influences which have come to fruition & we're loving everything he is writing!
* 'S.O.S.' is a monster of a tune, full of everything you'd want in a club track.
* 'Control' is a masterpiece. Influences from Seba to Marcus Intalex, Nick Response's genius includes recording his vocals to talk about computers controlling us, while delivering an epic musical journey.
* Dj Support from Friction, Fabio, Storm, Marcus Intalex, Skeptical, London Elektricity, Digital, Spirit
* Limited to only 300 copies on 140g black vinyl.

* For the last 10 years the Shogun Audio brand has championed the most forward thinking drum & bass music from electronic talent all over the world. Helmed by BBC Radio 1's Friction and long time business partner and producer K-Tee, Shogun has become one of the most exciting record labels in modern day bass music. Now exclusively home to ground breaking artists such as Rockwell, Icicle, Technimatic, Spectrasoul, Joe Ford and Fourward, the camp covers it all, regularly releasing anything from huge dance floor anthems to the most cutting edge bass technology. With an ever-increasing artist roster, release and events schedule, Shogun Audio continues to grow at breakneck speed. Now in celebration of 10 Years in the game, Shogun present their most ambitious album project to date.

Scoping a methodical landscape, Gerra & Stone have begun to take charge of an underground dominion which was already steep with competition. They've slowly invaded cyberspace, becoming a focal point for adept drum & bass whilst remaining a talking point across the online platforms.

And now they've joined forces with dance-floor pacifier Program, epitomising a production style which has gained them such a reputation.

Already setting the pace is opening track 'Ison'. A steppy riddim littered with masqueraded drum beats, it's a power-driven journey which snaps you back and forth between layers. The building blocks of an already tightly compact intro are built upon by a vocal sample which is a premonition for what's to come. The composition is already impressively intricate; however, once this break is delivered you're diverted into a plunging drop that drives you even deeper into the mix maze. With blow-out percussion and a taste for the finer technicalities expect 'Ison' to command every beat of your ear drum and ensure this release leaves an after taste difficult to shake.

With metallic thumps slicing through waiflike samples, even the intro to second track 'Vengeance' is intimidating. Twisted breakbeats create a forward motion that pushes you deeper and deeper into its grasp, whilst the track's title plays out in between bars of finely-tuned anarchy. This is contemporary drum & bass at its finest; the kind its forefather's dreamt of. Precisely laid out, yet paying homage to its underground roots by being fiercely unapologetic.

So yet again, it's time to get with the Program, as this round certainly goes to Gerra & Stone. Their set to catapult themselves to the top this New Year... Whilst leaving no prisoners.

* In the first in a series of limited edition coloured vinyl pressings V Recordings are proud to present Ed Rush & Optical's seminal single on V 'Funktion' b/w 'Naked Lunch'.

* Limited Orange vinyl, presented in a clear PVC case with a double sided card insert displaying the original single artwork this is a true limited edition collector item.

* Both 'Funktion' and 'Naked Lunch' are stone cold Drum & Bass classics. Featured in the DJ sets of every taste maker in the scene when they were released back in 1998, and still sounding as fresh and relevant as they day they were made 16 years later.

* Hailing from a time when Ed Rush & Optical were pioneering their Virus sound which went on to transform D&B, they proved conclusively with this single that no matter how futuristic their music was, they possessed that all import funk and soul which has made their music as timeless as it was ground breaking.

* LABEL MARKETING: Features on V Recordings Podcast, Dedicated newsletter to 85,000 V Recordings subscribers. 80,000+ Facebook reach through label controlled Facebook and Twitter. Press on websites across the globe.

* With a discography spanning over 20 years, Philly Blunt is a name synonymous with the classic sounds of Jungle / Drum and Bass. Having only clocked up 22 releases in that time its back catalogue is filled with a selection of stone cold classics from the likes of Dillinja, Roni Size, DJ Krust and more recently the new skool Jungles sounds of Bladerunner, Serum, Heist and more.

* Serum returns to the label after his 2010 debut with the first tracks to be taken from Philly Blunts forthcoming debut album project to be unveiled in 2015. 'G Funk' is classic Philly Blunt, with Hip Hop samples, rolling beats and a bouncing bassline ready to destroy an dancefloor.

* On the flip Serum teams up with Serial Killaz for 'Hold On'. In recent years Serial Killaz have been responsible for turning in remixes of some of Jungles biggest anthems, including their 2009 reworking of Big, Bad & Heavy on Philly Blunt - bringing classic jungle sounds to a whole new generation of dedicated ravers. As well as remixes they have also been busy in the studio with their own original releases, and production work with some of the legends of the scene like Congo Natty, Tenor Fly & Daddy Freddy. Teaming up with Serum for their first original production for the label they don't disappoint.

* 'Treading Water' marks an exciting moment in Breakage AKA James Boyle's career - the first single from his third
album 'When The Night Comes', his first full length since 2010.
* When Shy FX created his Digital Soundboy label, the name could have been a blueprint for an artist like Breakage, a
21st
century sound boy who has carved out his own minimal, hi-tech vision from the UK's hardcore and dub materials.
* His journey began on the drum and bass scene with his remix of Nasty Habits 'Here Come The Drums', famed for
bringing jungle urgency back to drum and bass. All his unclassifiable work since then, whether people have called it dub
step, grime or drum & bass has had his trademark sound engineering brilliance, his unique sense of space and
combination of dub and emotional pressure, creating a sleek, refractive jet-black British soul all his own.
* Only a producer with Breakage's mastery could take out all the drums from his comeback single 'Treading Water'.
The propulsion provided by undulating waves of crystalline sub, the percussion provided by expert synth stabs, the
emotional dynamics of guest vocalist Detour City effortlessly modulated so you don't even notice; there's no kick and
snare. As James says 'I wanted to do a track in an infinite breakdown/build up. A lot of times I find the "drop" or when all
the elements actually come together can either get way too aggressive, or rather underwhelming. So I decided to do
away with it all together'.
* This is more script-flipping from a man that commanded the respect of the reclusive Burial (and collaborated with him
on 'Vial). Made a grime classic without trying (when a 2009 instrumental called 'Together' ft David Rodigan got change
to the Newham General's 'Hard') as well as re-wired chart conventions with Jess Mill's 2011's 'Fighting Fire'. He is one
of the few producers kindred spirits Massive Attack have requested to remix their songs.
'Treading Water' is pointing the trail into the sound world of his new album 'When The Night Comes', expected in
Spring 2015. 'It took a long time to get right, but it couldn't have worked any other way' says Breakage. Get ready for
immersion.

* The debut release on Hospital Records' latest exclusive signing Lynx. This Southampton based produced is known to many within the drum+bass scene for his unique, rhythmic, anthemic productions, and for those who don't know- be assured you'll be hearing a lot more from over the coming months. This EP of four stand out cuts introduces the diverse sound of a producer at the top of his game.

* Lead track 'Where Are You' raises the levels of P Funk intrigue to breaking point, before the pentatonic wizardry of a trademark Lynx bassline melody kicks in. 'Bees Knees' follows on - A track so infectious it's been keeping staff at Hospital's Purple Gates HQ awake all night.

* 'Hurting' takes things deeper and darker, with Master X's heartfelt delivery underpinned by some filthy jungle styles. Aggresive distorted subs, off beat percussion and animal cries provide the soundtrack to a royal rumble in the rainforest. Last but by no means least comes 'Blue', a hard-boiled P-funk steppa. Like a post apocylptic night down at Ronnie Scotts, this jam is hot.

* With past releases on Ram, Playaz, Digital Soundboy, Soul;R and Creative Source, it's fair to say Lynx has earned his stripes. It's time for him to take things to the next level as he becomes part of Hospitals new generation.

* Digital Marketing: Youtube upload schedule for music and video content on Hospital Records youtube channel - (260k subscribers), cross promotion music video uploads to UKF channel.

* Renegade Hardware is proud to present the debut album from Maztek: Three Point Zero. Over a year in the making
this body of work is without question Mazteks finest work to date. Encompassing his trademark uncompromising dance
floor style as well as explorative sonic journeys into elaborate textured sound design and hip hop fused productions.
* Featuring an array of well-chosen collaborations of both vocalists and producers alike - such as Dutch hip hop crew
Dope D.O.D, Hardware / Virus's BTK, Viper's Insideinfo, Ram's Audio, Italian new blood Disprove as well as vocals
from MC Coppa. Maztek has created a cogent and extremely innovative long player that once again proves why DnB will
never die.
* In his own words: 'Three Point Zero represents something new to me, moving from 2.0 to 3.0. It relates to

* 10 years of experimentation and exploration. 10 years of quality and quantity. 10 years of sublime music from all corners of the world. 10 years of Horizons.

* 10 years ago Horizons Music released their first ever piece of music, a track going by the name of '10 steps', produced by Skitty. Since that epoch making moment, the label has evolved into a staple of the Drum & Bass scene, becoming a byword for consistency and quality in the process. It is therefore fitting that ten years on, some of the labels regulars come together to produce a masterful 14 track album, that encompasses everything Horizons is about.

* A quick flick through the roster for the album tells you everything you need to know. Stalwarts of the scene Digital and Spirit make both individual and collective appearances, providing their trademark blends of invention and raw energy. Break delivers a quintessential effort and Jubei steps up to bring his own relick to Skitty's '10 steps'. Another remix of Horizon's inaugural release comes courtesy of label regulars 'Amoss - doing the original justice superbly.

* Amoss also take up their place beside label favourite Nickbee in taking on individual efforts, whilst artists as well renowned as DLR, Need for Mirrors, Mako & Hydro, Silent Witness, Detail and Scar make a strong a line up as you are liable to see on any release this year.

* Musically, it is Horizons all over. From the Thunderous crunch of 'Outta Time' and 'In the Moment' to the deeper cuts of 'Piano Licks and 'Fields', this is an ode to quality. Add in the brilliant experimentation of music like 'Organic' and 'Keep me in the Loop' and you have an album that is worthy of representing 10 years of Horizons Music.

* For the past 10 Years Liquid V has ridden the waves of trends and fashions and delivered 100% organic, soul fused, funk filled Drum & Bass music - now for the first time we've captured some of its highlights on one album.

* Since its inception the term 'liquid' has mutated and morphed now meaning different things to different people, but at the core of Liquid V has been the vision to bring through music produced from the heart in all its different shapes and forms.
* Under Liquid V this 'liquid' banner covers a diverse and exciting range of sounds and styles, from the more traditional rare groove and disco influenced tracks, to atmospheric rollers through to the deeper, darker more minimal sounds that have come through in recent years.

* This collection brings together some of the highlights from this catalogue from some of the most recognisable names in D&B such as Calibre, Roni Size, Nu:Tone, Peshay, Commix, dBridge and Utah Jazz all sitting alongside some of Liquid V's most exciting new wave of producers like Submorphics, Mr Joseph, DJ Chap, Random Movement and more.

* A 2 hour double CD selection all handpicked by Bryan Gee showcasing some of the labels finest and most loved moments such as Nu:Tone's remix of Roni Size's It's Jazzy and Peshay's Funkster to some of the more underground and perhaps less well known gems that people might have missed - it's all here in one collection. Roll on the next 10 years!

The Sub Squared label presents an EP by Kloke, a Melbourne based producer who captures the atmosphere and vibe of a variety of his native Britain's forms of electronic music without merely rehashing past genres: Jungle, Dubstep, Grime, Ambient and Techno are distilled into his original but familiar soundscapes. Kloke's back catalogue includes releases on Entrada, Granholme and Styles Upon Styles. On the first side the tracks are beat driven; two tracks with distorted drum machine at 120bpm providing the bones for reflective harmonic and melodic parts that are reminiscent of Jungle or Breakbeat Hardcore. The second side of the record is a mini album in itself; seventeen minutes of beatless music in three tracks. 'Ember' matches staccato rhythmic elements to thick lush pads, 'Yeman' employs a piano and cymbal sample over melancholy tones. The title track of the EP is a 10 minute medley of ambient music that ranges through moods of warmth, desolate electronic bleakness, unsettling menace and skin tingling nostalgia

* Digital makes a welcome return to Horizons with an intricate 5 track release, spanning 2 vinyl releases, this being part 1.

* Death Wish is a deeply eerie yet enthralling track. Minimalist tribal percussion, interlaced with a chilling vocal provide a stellar accompaniment to a sonorous bass that rises and falls in a wonderfully controlled manner. A brooding track by all accounts.

* My World opens with ethereal pads, backed by a melodic and wishful vocal. The undulating bass line underpins the tune as a whole, allowing subtle drum work and splashes of fx and further sumptuous pad work to really shine through. Majestically melancholic.

* Digital makes a welcome return to Horizons with an intricate 5 track release, spanning 2 vinyl releases, this being part two.

* 'Damage' sees Digital team up successfully with Outrage to create a futuristic cut of Drum & Bass. Ignoring convention, the combination of bleeps, open snares twist and turn over another subtle yet highly effective sub layer - culminating in what is definitely one for the connoisseurs of the art.

* 'Joker' features Spirit and Nomine. Moving in a slightly different direction to the other tracks - Joker is epitomised by growling reeces, distorted samples and driving amens that course over the other elements. Deceptively heavy, whilst losing none of the musicality and experimentation that defines this release.

* Quotes: Friction - 'So Aggressive' Ant TC1 - 'This is an essential release. I'm absolutely buzzing to see Quarantine back at it'DJ Marky - 'Great to see Quarantine back. We NEED more rollers like this. Been playing both tracks, goes off'
Fabio - 'Great to see two of my favourite producers together... Sunshine is a bonafide banger'
* This single features two volatile slices of splintering drum and bass from Fierce and Zero T, that Quarantine has the reputation for distributing.

* "Sunshine" A primal scream from the past - Sunshine's drum structure is devised from materials steeped in tradition and a bassline of the very same steel.

* "Back" is another example of the claustrophobic, intense rolling style, championed by Quarantine. Made by DJs for DJs

* Both these tracks signal a startling return of Quarantine and have been getting supported and played by Friction, Fabio, Doc Scott, Hype, dBridge, Marky, Ulterior Motive, Jubei, and many more.

*** G.H.O.S.T are back with another 12' - out before end of 2014! ***

* Syrup is a deep roller with a serious bassline that never stops, the pads/atmos float real nice around it. Be warned of that bass!
* Both Swinger & Pecker are heavy broken up hiphop steppers!! Cut at 45rpm for the tinnitus fans...
* Endless Blue, the digital bonus, is going a bit more back to the floatyness with real nice patterns on the drums and a moving yet dreamy atmosphere.

* Limited handmade 12'
* 3 tracks + download code (+ bonus track, digital only)
