In other words this album kicks ass hard!

* Introducing the Integral Select LP - the highly anticipated, long-awaited compilation album from Integral Records set to catapult the well-respected label back to the forefront. Set up in 2007 by influential, legends in the game, Glenn Herweijer and Zula Warner aka Artificial Intelligence, the 25-strong discography represents all styles of drum & bass music with that extra edge and a quality that resonates with the passionate pair.
* May 2014 sees the new album schedule kick off in style with a sampler 12' release featuring their own re-work of one of Integral's all-time classics - Lenzman's 'Ever So Slightly'. On the flip, the label welcomes UK soldier of the deep, Phil Tangent to the camp, with the supersmooth but deadly 'Clouded Judgement'.
* Fresh off the back of their immense releases for Shogun and Metalheadz, Artificial Intelligence returns with a classic interpretation of 'Ever So Slightly', reinvigorating their solid reputation for powerful and uplifting rollers. This one is designated for the dancefloor coming complete with an A.I. signature emotive play on the original samples, warm bassline grooves and energizing liquid funk. This is musical drum and bass at its best. Currently being championed exclusively by Friction and Lenzman, this track has been creating a big buzz amongst the scene's heavyweights and fans alike.
* Following on from an impressive schedule of high quality music for Soul:R, Commercial Suicide and Samurai, Tangent's debut release for Integral is something very special indeed. 'Clouded Judgement' takes it's listeners to another place. An epic track captivated by subterranean secrets: it haunts, inspires, drives. Next level production complete with sinister, pulsating bassline, contrasted against a soulful wash of pads, proves the killer formula to absolutely smash up the floor.
* The Integral Select album sampler is not to be missed! Stay tuned for more information on the full LP release, coming soon.

* Born and raised in the same city as Goldie, SB81 may be familiar to you as Nolige but that's old news - this is the new incarnation of an accomplished producer and it's no holds barred Headz 2014.
* A: Blueprints
Pure and unadulterated jungle leads this EP. SB81 starts as he means to go on with this one, pitched down vox and classic breaks move in a soldier style under pinned by big bass, a DJ's dream as it rolls out unbroken until the string laden breakdown
* B1: Four Tun (170 revisit)
Four Tun was one of SB81's original contributions to HeadzXX and he back this time moving tempo up to 170, the OG was more dark whereas this is much more hopeful, the track almost feels like it moves across planes with ease.
* B2: Arq
Classic half time vibes on this, almost wormhole-esque in its palette but the execution is all his own. It wraps up a very complete EP from SB81 on his second outing for METHXX , we look forward to more from the Wolverhampton native on the label.

Once again Impish and Vasilisa return to Occulti with some new stuff to show, and this time its a 6 track album "Underwater", which brought together the material written in the course of 2008 to 2013.
The mini album is dramatically simple in its concept, but deeply soaked with rainy vibes and loaded with powerful bass lines that have proven themselves worthy over the years on Moscow's underground dance floors. The two dark dance floor shakers Keep Quite and Tunnel have been chosen for the 12inch vinyl. The CD topped off with beautiful photograph by Ilya Kisaradov is released alongside with the vinyl. It contains the oldest and the most stormy of the tracks Don't Let Me Down, the heartfelt Why, Lonely Street and Haze, which has been released on vinyl in the early 2014 at the fellow label Audio Plants and had already make some noise on the dance floors.

Are you ready for Jade I guess not cause this slab of wax is what filth is made of.. Forget everything you ever heard cause Jade is injecting some high octane NOS into the engine that is citrus..
The Ep starts of with Ready.. well are you this isn't no child's toy, only big boys may play with this kind of heavyweight monsters.. It has it all, Sick stabs, bone breaking breakbeats and even some wrist slashing subs.. so "Are You Ready"
The flip on this holds the even more disgusting Prey, no words for this tune but if serial killers could produce music, this would be a collab between Ted Bundy and Charles Manson hands down..
DJ Support: Nocturnal, Audio, Mindscape, Quadrant, Vicious Circle, Phace, Black Sun Empire, N.Phect, Noisia and many many many many more!

"Jazzy Heart" comes from the mind of Nelver, hailing from Russia! This one brings together an excellent fusion of techstep, neurofunk, and liquid-jazz vibes that are sure to create pressure in the mix! Heard this one floating about, and we absolutely HAD to make sure this one hit the wax format. On the flip, Nelver and new-groove bad boy NCamargo (Brazil) collab on the emotive runner, "Lonely". Beautiful and Contrasting, this stepper hits heavy in all the right places. Rolling drums and a ripping bassline bounce alongside an infectious vocal and ethereal keys to make a piece of music that captivates while it rocks the floor! We at Icarus Audio couldn't be prouder to bring you one of our secret weapons!

Dangerous Dutch Drum & Bass duo SINISTER SOULS have been working hard for the last year to create an album with atleast as much power as their debut Beat The Drum Hard album and man, did these guys deliver!

12 Monster tracks of Epic Hardcore Drum & Bass Proportion designed for modern day dancefloor warfare.

In other words this album kicks ass hard!

Across a whopping 34 tracks Calyx & TeeBee survey the different shades of Drum & Bass that regularly grace the rooms of Fabric. Their remix of Friction & Skream's 'Kingpin' kicks off proceedings, a statement of intent setting the pace for a rapidfire set of new riddims from Ulterior Motive, Calibre, Blu Mar Ten, Gridlok & Prolix and many more producers pivotal to the sound of today. There are some unreleased gems slotted in the mix too, with a brief appearance of Xtrah's 'Compulsive' and Dub Phizix's remix of Bricky Mortar's 'Salford John'. The duo drop a handful of VIP remixes and original material, including their punishing RAM release 'Skank' and 'Pure Gold' featuring Kemo. Halfway through the mix Chris.SU's 'Solaris VIP' marks a turn into the deeper end of the spectrum, with Break's 'Tempted' marking the mix at its most minimal and Brain Crisis' 'Hands Up' at its most volatile.

A few classics are unearthed for the final section - Ed Rush & Optical's 1999 remix of Optical's 'The Shining', Fierce/Optiv's 2005 roller 'Surface Noise' and Kemal & Rob Data's neuro-tinged 'Star Trails' from 2000. Jumping back to the present day, Calyx & TeeBee's crossover hit 'Elevate This Sound' rounds it all off, acting as a fitting end to a mix dedicated to bringing together different styles of Drum & Bass under the Fabric banner

Fizzy Beats presents The Juices Volume 3.
6 smooth liquid funk rollers from the vaults of Fizzy Beats.

For this special vinyl sampler we picked the Mr Joseph track featuring the lovely vocals by Collette Warren and The Sweetness by Eveson.

The digital album holds 6 tracks by PennyGiles, Dave Owen & Grimm, Blade, Andy Skopes and both tracks from the vinyl sampler.

* Blocks and Escher give us their debut 12' for Metalheadz, hot on the heels of the pair's contribution to the Platinum Breakz 4 album which was called 'Madness'. This release is the archetypical Headz sound. Blocks and Escher have an uncanny ability to capture the golden age aesthetic whilst moving head first toward the future.
* Moods
'Moods' begins with an introspective edge, with soothing vocals and pads set against rugged breaks. The track soon morphs into a sub bass roller however the mood soon changes and the track turns into a darker affair with mentasms and mid-range basses working with and against one another, the track is a journey through calm and storm in a way in which only Blocks and Escher could do.
* Razor
Pushed to the edge, paranoid, isolated. Razor is a track forced into battle. The intro evokes thoughts of a machine walking across destroyed landscape with an imminent sense of danger, and then when the bass drops we are propelled into battle with the tracks breakbeat edits acting as different opponents. The looping soundscape backdrop of the track becomes the fatigue of battle. We could go on, but we're sure you get the idea.

Fokuz steps up with their 3rd chronicle piece to complete the series. This EP is what fokuz stands for, new fresh music that doesnt need a hype just a good listening ear! sheer quality on all 4 sides..
The A side is CLS & Wax with some real dancefloor beats like hospital used to be. smooth funky basslines with proper ruff n tumbling beats, a tune specially for the ladies!
On the flip we find germany's latest talent Donnie Dubson, A real underdog worthy of a comeback.. This one is deep, rolling and a beautifull.. just the way we like em!

A strangely alluring release from a tantalisingly mysterious producer, G.H.O.S.T pits beauty and fragmented noise samples against each other in a bid to create some truly innovative new sounds. In "Rattler" this plan succeeds, with the disturbing chimes of the intro just managing to disjoint themselves from the main jungle-inspired heart of the tune to feel oddly intoxicating. On the other side "Bad Education" is an out and out old-school banger, raising hell from the gospels of Optiv & BTK and Andy C. beautifully dark and fluid, it's a mechanical dream of a track, perfect for any late night seance. Finally, bonus track "Waveframe" rips out the beating heart of a bassline amidst skeletal breaks. You need this, but it'll give you nightmares.
(Jim Bane Soul:ution/Easternbloc) G.H.O.S.T. tracks have been a firm favourite for my Soul:ution sets. Looking forward to hearing some more.
(Organic Beats Blog) It's really hard to gauge how each individual label is effected by the continued shifting of the vinyl landscape, but as ever it doesn't seem to deter new entrants who are coming into the marketplace who are full of passion and vigor for the format. G.H.O.S.T is an absolutely perfect example of this, writing, producing and releasing their own music for the first time in beautiful hand finished packaging...
(The What Blog) A new name on the drum and bass circuit arrives with a wicked selection of beats for their debut on Goldman Records.. Our favorite has got to be Bad Education, with its slightly stripped down, hard hitting, dark, techy sound... but we strongly suggest that you take a look at the whole package.
Confirmed features: DJ Mag, Juno Plus Best Sleeves

BONUS TRACK 'One' (redeemable via download code included in vinyl)

dRamatic & dbAudio will be new names to many, but fans of LTJ Bukem will love this rolling, uplifting, energetic 12' . 'Life Console' has been hammered on Radio 1 by Grooverider & the flip 'Break from the Vacuum' is a firm Fabio favourite. Also getting plays on Bailey's 1Xtra shows & Storm's Metalheadz show on Ministry of Sound. Reminiscent of mid-90s Speed era and the glory days of Good Looking and it's all the better for it. Ingredients wasted no time in locking this one down! 'Excellent, just like the old Good Looking Days!' - A.I. 'I like this 12' alot' - StormSupport from Grooverider & Fabio (RADIO ONE), Ltj Bukem, London Elektricity, Bailey, AI, Makoto, Fierce, Storm, Total Science

For our third instalment on Mars Recordings we've decided to go for Green Vinyl! This has nothing to do with Aliens, we wouldn't be that obvious, but it's the colour chosen by the artists and we think it looks like another great Mars package.Musically, well Edward Oberon & Paul T have conjured up 2 awesome tracks. 'Love is' is absolutely sublime with it's warm bass line and delicate sounds to the breakdown, while keeping the drums nice and punchy, a great tune to roll out. 'Absolute' harks back to the deep sounds of old Good looking by the likes of Big Bud or Tayla. Ridiculous sub-lo bass and deep strings, this is how Mars do things and we feel it's another quality 12 where the music & the packaging matters.

Genotype has been involved in drum & bass for over 15 years and his journey has included Renegade recordings, Reinforced & Exit records. His vision & style hits the mark perfectly for Ingredients & we're excited to finally have his name included in the catalogue. Fans of Reinforced will love these deep, dirty rhythms, one for those late night blurred vision moments! A few too many is one of his best tunes of recent years & The director has an oldskool Dj Krust style to it. Awesome bass action on both cuts. Support from Loxy, Skeptical, dBridge, Dub phizix, Flight & many more.

The 2nd instalment increases the pressure! Jubei's 'The Path' was a classic in 2009 and man of the moment Skeptical has created a killer remix! Staying with the intense vibe, this is pure gnarly business & highlights just how fresh Skeptical's sound is. 2012 & beyond. Flip for another rising star in the making 'Foreign Concept'. He has 3 massive tunes released in 2011 and this just might be the pick of the bunch. 'Jaipur' is very Metalheadz in vibe & style & completes a superb 12' for the Ingredients camp. Dj support comes from Jubei, dBridge, Break, Mikal,

After making his killer debut with 'Stats' - Mode returns to Ingredients for his 2nd recipe! 'Warning' is minimal, moody, and bass heavy & is a nod to his peers Instra;mental & Dbridge. 'Realities' is a deep, delicate groove, and really well executed. If you liked his first 12' you'll be sure to love this!

Mute & Mako are a collective from Bristol. Having spent years working on their sound & building their own label Utopia Music, they have plenty of good tunes at the ready. Astral Transmissions is a throwback to Fellowship late 90s era. A sublime track that takes you somewhere, lush and hypnotic. Lost sector is a different flex, with dark pads, off-beat grooves & some oldskool Ram trilogy style bass! DJ support comes from Spectrasoul, Break, Fabio, Nu:Tone, Nymfo, Hazard, Makoto, Flight, London Elektricity, Blu Mar Ten, Dj Lee, Doc scott. Press: Mixmag, IDJ, ATM, Kmag.
Nu:Tone One of Ingredients strongest releases so far
Total Science Lovely Stuff
Spectrasoul Loved Astral since it first arrived in our inbox, huge support from us
Doc Scott Excellent
Bassline Smith DEEP! love Lost Sector!

Mute & Mako have already proved how good an outfit they are with releases on Mako's very own label 'Utopia Music' & their excellent 'Astral Transmissions' on Ingredients, not to mention 'Rorschach' on the Recipe Book LP. Well they're back again with another killer release. 'Essential Forms' has all the hallmarks of mid 90's d&b with it's long intro, tight drum workout and sublime arrangement.The flip is just as strong, taking you back to an artist called Shogun on Renegade recordings around 1996, this wicked roller is a joy to mix. Keep an eye on this trio! Dj support: Doc Scott, Dj Lee, dRamatic & dbAudio, Bryan Gee, Ltj Bukem

t's not often you get to hear the wizardy of Tom Withers aka Klute on the remix tip but we managed to secure his services & he has served up a masterpiece. Excellent synth work & hypnotic drums under mesmerising lush chords. Random Movement has delivered an absolute gem for Mars alongside production partner Jaybee.'Same ol me' has a nice rolling energy & uplifting vibe.

[I] CD 9 | LET’S LEAVE TOMORROW FEATURING BEV LEE HARLING [J] CD 10 | RISE AND SHINE [K] CD 11 | THE MAGIC RUSSIAN BOTTLE [L] CD 12 | ENDLESS SEARCH [M] CD 13 | LOST WITHOUT YOU

* Limited to only 250 copies on 140g black vinyl.
* Coming with the 2nd solo release by Response, are two contrasting but equally as good tracks in the shape of 'Surveillance' which has been heavily supported by Fabio. Rolling subtlety but enough weight for the dancefloor, harking back to Marcus Intalex & ST Files of old. 'One Nation' is a firm favourite at Ingredients towers, with it;s Virus esque sound pallet and awesome reece bassline. Quality stuff from this new producer out of Manchester.

Tracklist:

After the success of Phobia's giant 12' on Ingredients (and killer Beef stew) the next instalment comes from an up & coming artist making waves in 2010. Ashley 'Skeptical' takes a step towards the deep, dubby vibes of underground Drum & Bass, harking back to oldskool Metalheadz with 'Transfer' a bassline roller. Flip for 'Block 305' for some half-time mechanical minimalism, with it's barrage of bass pinning you against the wall. With production like this you know this guy has plenty more to come, and this is the first of 3 12's signed to the label. You've been warned! Skeptical comes correct with his steak dish!
Dj support Loxy, Spectrasoul, Storm, Phobia..
a Skeptical - Transfer
b Skeptical - Block 305

Skeptical returns once again with his trademark dub influenced drum & bass. 'Sphere' is just deep down low, with sparse drums and a killer bassline. This is everything that is good about Underground Drum & Bass. While 'Dream Police' is some half time duttyness! Fans of Breakage should check this 12', another killer release from DnB's best kept secret. Support from D-Bridge, Jubei, Genotype, Ant TC1, Doc Scott, Fierce, Storm, London Elektricity, Blu Mar Ten, Survival, Break. Worth checking Skeptical's 'Eggs Florentine' recipe too.

Part 4 of the album 12's brings label favourite Skeptical back to his best with 'Refraction'. Think Ed rush & optical, with it's savage feel & Skeptical adds his own disjointed rhythms. A monster bass line & excellent arrangement. Flip for Mute & Mako's brilliant 'Rorschach'. This is straight up dancefloor tear-up, no messing the guys have produced a killer. These tracks on heavy rotation in the sets of Break, Klute, Spectrasoul, Doc scott, Ed Rush, Nymfo & many more.

Villem has quietly crept up on the d&b scene. The Bristol based producer has had releases on Ingredients, Break's Symmetry & more recently on Samurai Recordings. His positive attitude to the dance floor comes through without the need to become too cliche'd. 'Spring back' is very original, with it's use of the 'payback' synth and jazz horns, but then switching to a big dance floor roll out. While 'Acouphenes' has a real funky rhythm and is a great break work out. This talented producer is in for a promising career.

Samurai Red Seal is pleased to announce it's debut artist album from label favourite ASC. Having built a mutually respectful
relationship with this talented producer over the years with a series of successful 12' releases, an album was the next logical step.
This sampler features three tracks.

When Break & Survival pair up its always something special that gets laid down and the A side of this release sets a a fine example; "Stano" has already racked up 5 plays on Friction's BBC Radio 1 show and the flip "Going Over" has been aired on the same show as well, in fact come to think of it even the digital bonus track "The Year 2133" has too on Ant TC1's Radio 1 guest mix... It's looking like a big release already arriving fresh and hot on the heels of Octane & DLR"s recently released long player. Support also from the likes of Noisia, Artificial Intelligence (On BBC Radio 1), Octane & DLR, DJ Marky, Youngsta, Silent Witness, Lenzman and Kasra.

Camo & Krooked return to the fore with 'Between The Lines'; an immense fourteen-track remix album which takes their award-winning debut on Hospital 'Cross The Line' to a whole new level fresh for 2012. These two tracks which have been pressed to vinyl provide a tasty sampler from the album and are aimed at the dancefloor DJ, avid collector and discerning listener alike.

This is a heavyweight 12'' from Bristol's very own DJ Clipz. He pulls out all the stops and ensures bass bins will shake with this slice of 175 madness. This tune is limited so once it has gone, it's gone.

Mars Recordings return for what promises to be a potential anthem for 2012. Total Science have taken on the Nottingham boys excellent "Far Away" and delivered a killer remix. While on the flip it;s back to business for dRamatic & dbAudio with the disco killer "Days Runnin' Out" blue vinyl pressing
Dj support comes from Marky, Total science, Storm, London Elektricity, Nu tone, Bailey

Repress!
Dub Phizix is a fresh name for 2011. His unique style has won over many people including Soul:r & Creative Source with whom he has 12's coming soon. His punchy production and clever arrangement impressed us at Ingredients and these two tracks have been on heavy rotation for the last 6 months. 'Out There' is reminiscent of Photek's drums and sounds, a great intro track. While 'Athos' is a brave tune, some future thinking drum & bass with it's tribal rhythms. Doc Scott '5/5 great stuff'S.P.Y 'Big things!'John B 'Nice work'DJ support: Hazard, Spectrasoul, Ulterior Motive, Krust, Doc scott, Rockwell, Dj Lee, Jubei, Digital, Klute, Spirit, Genotype, Skeptical.

- STRICTLY LIMITED EDITION PICTURE DISC VINYL 12'
- Friction returns to the Shogun studios to present a brand new 4-part series of releases that will see him collaborate with a host of his favourite producers from across the electronic music spectrum. Available digitally and as strictly limited edition vinyl picture discs, 'Friction Vs' offers the chance to step inside the minds of some of the most revered heads in the business as they don the controls to deliver some hybrid brand D&B, fresh for 2014.
- For the very first outing Friction draws in a duo that need little introduction. Total Science are what jungle drum & bass legends are made of, with a pioneering discography stemming back to the mid 90's. Here the results are simply outstanding as 'Scatter' seeps experience, a pure unadulterated dance floor roller, keeping things strictly for the underground.
- Tag team rules as new Shogun signings Fourward then step into the ring along with one of the most unique voices in the game, Jakes. 'Battle Scars' is a dirty, low-slung, tech excursion perfect for the late night marching crew and makes for the downright dangerous ending for the first volume in this new ground breaking new series.
