Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Chroma are fucking sick, this 12" is fucking sick too.
The trio, from Newcastle, formed in 2011 and consist of Phobia, Sato & Tyrone - already well known entities within D&B circles.
They make blinding music, as previously witnessed on such superb labels as Prog:Ram, C.I.A. Renegade Hardware, Commercial
Suicide, Symmetry, Ingredients, Med School & Critical.
They're so good, Andy C, Goldie, Klute, Hype, Total Science, Friction, Fabio all see fit to play their music in their sets.
Bloody good I say. Makes me want to buy it.

Hospital Records is proud to present our brand new mixed Hospitality Compilation.......

ard to believe this is S.P.Y's debut full artist release on Hospital, from his first ever release (on medschool in 2005) this release is set to win the hearts and minds of longtime d&b fans, and new comers alike with it's return to core values and pure sound.

Remaining permanently on the precipice of upfront, intelligent drum and bass, Demand Records have had a storming few years at the
forefront of the scene.
Shaping the brand new talents of upcoming producers like Ed:it, RoyGreen & Protone, Pennygiles, LSB and Heavy1, Demand has
also become a home from home for revered musicians at the top of their game. Basing the label's musical ethos around expertly
crafted sounds that command attention no matter who created them has led to a die hard following and a truly impressive back
catalogue.
This, Demand Records' first vinyl release of 2013, pushes together two standout tracks from Aspect and Gremlinz and newcomer
War.
Producing perhaps their strongest work when collaborating, both Aspect and Gremlinz attract the attentions of the higher ranks with
every release. 'Armshouse' does not disappoint, with devastating jungle breaks scarring the surface of a deep, rolling sub. Tight and
rolling, this is engineered for the dancefloor, the darker and dirtier the better.
War's 'Makashi' takes those malevolent bassy threats and adds them to the framework of an atmospheric stepper. Shaking up the
percussion to a blur and adding ambient touches, it's darkly addictive and full of disconcerting space.
DJ support comes from all across the dj circuit. Marcus Intalex, Lenzman, Spectrasoul, Marky, Bailey, DJ Die, Shy Fx and Goldie are
only a few to mention.

Narratives Music returns with release number five and with it a special collaborative single that brings some of Drum & Bass' biggest
names together to create one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year so far. With album projects on Exit Records and Non
Plus respectively, Loxy, Resound & ASC have been pushing their uncompromising sounds for years via some of the scenes freshest
and most forward thinking labels. This coming together with label owners Blocks & Escher has forged two highly contrasting but
intrinsically linked tracks.
The A Side sees the Narratives owners take on Loxy & Resound to create the tag team, melody led dancefloor effort, 'Monsters'.
Solid breaks, pads and retro synth chords lead into a hushed breakdown before firing off into a cauldron of percussion, subs and
wrenching reese edits. Never a label to stick to a formula, this track progresses into a different 'monster' altogether in the second half;
enfusing the intro's melodies with a new bassline that takes it to a more euphoric and meditative climax. With DJ Friction dropping
this track as a 'world exclusive first play' on his BBC Radio 1 show and D Bridge calling it a 'retro throwback for the future' on his
Rinse FM show, support has come thick and fast.
Continuing with the retro nod to real synths and melody, the flip pits Auxiliary head honcho ASC against Blocks & Escher in the ever
evolving 'Heliocentric'. This track welds the collaborators sounds firmly together, trademark breaks, ambiences and basses provide
the canvas for the constantly progressing musical motifs, pulsing fx and soaring chords. Vastly different in terms of execution and
mood but inimitably the sound we know from Narratives Music.
DJ Support includes: Goldie, Friction, Loxy, dBridge.

Pull up! The BBK crew are in town once more and as per usual they mean business

Its E.P time again from Dispatch, this time with the
release of the huge 'Objection E.P' featuring two
solo outings from Dabs alongside some killer colabs
that include the production prowess of both Safire &
Cern with the added bonus of Mako, DLR and
Dispatch's own Ant TC1 on remix duties.
The E.P confidently twists through a journey of
atmospheric darkness with the tracks 'Objection',
'Inner Circle' and the remix of 'Back and Forth'
providing Dispatches signature rolling deepness,
with the track 'Hell Rose' providing a perfect
contrast of light with a combination of smooth pads
and haunting vocal. Finishing off, 'Crunch Bag'
steps up the energy rate with a slab aimed squarely
at key time dance floor movement, almost certainly
a guaranteed floor destroyer.
'Objection" has featured on Friction's BBC Radio 1
show on Ant TC1's own guest mix whilst the DLR,
Mako & Ant TC1's remix of the Dispatch classic
"Back & Forth" has been championed heavily by the
likes of Break, Survival and Xtrah again proving the

confirming once again why they are certainly a strong contender for label of the year in 2013 with their no nonsense, undiluted, no

*Horizons 67 is a treat for all lovers of quality, in depth drum & bass music, and comes courtesy of Italian bass junkie Dabs. His funky, driven d&b has found acclaim across the world, from his native land, throughout Europe, and over to the US and Australia. Releases on Dispatch, Citrus and Horizons have secured him regular bookings right across the drum & bass universe. Since first releasing in 2007, Dabs has established his name at the forefront of the new skool, teaming up on many occasions with the likes of Cern, Ant TC1 and Cause4Concern. It's safe to say that Dabs is surefire hot right now, and this comes across in spades on his new 12' for Horizons.
*Skull & Bones kicks us off, with its funky, lilting intro, which drops into some rolling Eastern effects. Bass is never far away, underpinning MC Kwality's deep, resonating rhymes. Things get minimal after the intro, with booming pads taking the helm, along with continued percussion and mini-breaks. The atmosphere is menacing, whilst maintaining musicality. Skull & Bones is pure soundsystem fodder, ready to wreck any sound, anywhere. Get ready to hear this one at all the festivals this summer.

Lynx appears again on the Warm Communications for his second helping of funk fueled drum & bass that he does so well. Having a
reputation for razor sharp production and always pushing boundaries with his music, Lynx is no newcomer to the scene. 'Therapy' is
one of Lynx's more rougher tunes. Heavy stepping drums and punishing bass stabs accompany the sinister vibe when it gets going.
'Feelin' Me' sees Lynx teaming up again with Hellrazor for uplifting amen affair. Vocal treatments weave in and out of a very
interesting take on the amen break. If you like you're drum & bass with that rough & smooth style, then this is the one for you!

Taken from "Souled Out Remixed" album which brings a new perspective to Makoto's 2011 album "Souled Out" by featuring remixes
from Makoto himself, Lenzman, Random Movement, Sinistarr, Ena, Bun and Jabberloop.
A. Girl I'm Running Back 2 U feat. Christian Urich - Random Movement Remix: Marking a departure from the 130BPM, 80's disco
style of the original version from Makoto's last album Souled Out, this remix ups the energy level from the beginning with Random
Movement's super sharp drum beats, bringing out a drum n' bass vibe all whilst preserving the trade mark clear 80's-sounding synth,
guitar sounds, and Tortured Soul front man Christian Urich's soulful vocals. The baseline will give you goosebumps when it first
comes in, but continues throughout with a bouncy groove. This is definitely one tune which will surely get the dance floor going with
its upbeat energy!
AA.Woe feat. Deeizm - Lenzman Remix: This remix is exactly the high-quality work one would expect from Metalheadz soul boy
Lenzman. The soundscape of lush synths and his trade mark deep, smooth bass line fits perfectly with Deeizm's vocal and lyrics. It
captures the emotional and soulful essence but still retains an energetic groove, something that only Drum'n' Bass can do.

Bringing intelligently dark drum and bass to the masses is a difficult job, but somebody's gotta do it. This time Mortem takes
Demand's hot seat to encourage two tracks with the hard-hitting firepower and sub pressure of a depth charge.
'Bring It Down' has Mortem's deep-driven grooves stamped all over it, matching heavily contorted bass with hyper speed percussion
to give an unsettling sense of uneven, bottom-heavy textures.
Pushing dread-filled atmospherics through the ringer is one of Mortem's specialities, and this track excels in bringing out his dark
side in a format that's ready-built for the dancefloor.
Utilising old school flavours for 'Malfunction' while maintaining that technical bite, writhing rhythms are sucked in through his unique
sampling vortex to create a track that's all about movement. Multilayered and thick with attitude, its behemoth of a bassline is barely
contained by intricately woven techy percussion.
As one of drum & bass' most reliable sources of prolific high quality, Mortem rises above the rest time and again with his unique take
on deep, intelligent beats. This release showcases his love for depth, texture and movement but also his capacity for creativity, which
comes in droves.
Both tracks are available on Demand Records 12' and Digital Download.

* Grid Recordings keeps things moving with another sledgehammer of a release. Featuring four upfront and grimy tracks from some of the label's most loved producers, That's What We Call Bass Part 2 sees Tyke, Prestige, and Rawtee serve up another dose of essential Grid.
* Tyke and Prestige team up once again from yet another jump up colossus. After a chilling cinematic intro, Cowboy Desperado transforms into a stomping juggernaut. Featuring thick, twisting bass and hammering drums, Cowboy is another weapon from the production team that brought us Scorpio. .
* Miami based Rawtee keeps things moving with the adrenaline fueled sounds of Throwing Stars VIP. After a desolate intro, Throwing Star explodes into a track designed to destroy the dancefloor. A combination of catchy bassline, metallic synths and rolling percussion - expect Throwing Stars VIP is already dealing damage.
* These tracks have already gained support from DJ Hype, Bryan Gee, The Upbeats, Crissy Criss, DJ Hazard,Grooverider and many more.

* TRACKLIST:

The Green Man's Sound Power is "Bass Music" with a lot of soul. Its 30 tracks are a sound journey from melancholy to euphoria, covering both speedy and half-time beats, coolness and emotion. It features mainly Drum & Bass, but also Dubstep, Ambient, Jazz, Soul, Techno, Trap and Trip Hop. It switches between lush arrangements and minimal simplicity, between wide spaces in sound and
the intimacy of a drummer's booth - with a big final at the end, featuring three of green man's former biggest hits at the end of cd 2. "Sound Power" is a sound adventure - which is supposed to be experienced from the beginning to the end.

"Sound Power" is "Bass music" with a touch of Air or Massive Attack. Singers like Peter Boucner (I'm a Junglist, UK Top 10 with Shut Up & dance's I'm Ravin I'm Ravin), Demolition Man, MC Navigator, Mystic Dan and Ras Abraham are performing on Green Man's sound resulting in tracks with soul like "Face the Father", "Word Sound Power" (both on Basswerk 38 limited edition vinyl), "Junglist Soldier","Keep Trying" or "Playing in the Dark". Shut Up & Dance's "The Green Man" once was the spark initiating "The Green Man"'s artist career delivered the artist name, so having Peter Bouncer to sing the opening track matches not only soundwise. It's the positive energy of his singinig - in Jamaica they call it "Word, Sound, Power" - which became a hook for the whole album, which is about "Sound" that lets you smile, gives power or also makes you wonder. Besides
the groovy material tracks like "Chainsmoker, Apokalypse or "We destroy the world" show Green Man's "dark" side.

TGM's first album "You Decide" on Duesseldorf's electronic crossover label "Combination" (who also released SEBA and Kabuki albums) back then convinced the fans not only with the music ("Infinity" entered the MTV Dance Charts and was #1 in the german DCC club charts), but also with its accompanying little written "essay" in the artwork. "You Decide" was loved by D&B nerds and "Elle"magazine at the same time. It is a coincidence that Heiner Kruse a.k.a The Green Man (or in short "TGM") has his birthday on the same day with Matthew Herbert. Nevertheless it is no surprise one can find allusions or political statements in track names, colours and pictures plus another little essay also in "Sound Power", they are not so much hidden though and feel quite
personal. "The Green Man" does not only enjoy details when it comes to sound design but also when it comes to writing down his "TGM" moniker as a logo on the album the same way he does it with an "Edding" waterproof pen on self-burnt dubplate cd's, developping a fonts out of it and doing the whole artwork.

While currently "Bass music" is the new word for Drum & Bass and Dubstep, the borders between genres seem to "blur". TGM and Basswerk are known for running one of Germany's most famous Drum & Bass events called "Basswerk Sessions", being an absolute term in the scene featuring a wide musical variety of Drum & Bass since 1995, featuring artists such as Intalex, D-Bridge, State Of Mind, BSE, Doc Scott, Spectrasoul, Enei, Calibre or Dub Phizix recently. With over 40 Vinyl and CD releases including regular musical contributions by The Green Man's own "Basswerk" label, founded 1997, soon developed to become one of Germany's most famous Drum & Bass labels receiving various Future Music Awards for the best label, which were the german equivalent to the UK's D&B Arena votings.

As an artist TGM is known to enjoy surprises, be it within his dj sets, productionwise with "crossover" tracks like "Easy" or "Infinity", or with his dark "Chainsmoker", released on Big Bud's UK's Soundtrax label played by DJ's like Rockwell, Phace, Naibu or Intalex - or long ago producing a coop with Klute called "Chicks" in his Cologne studio. He covers a variety of electronic music and Drum & Bass. No wonder his music was used for various flms and performances like CSI Miami, BBC Blue Peter, Sky, Arte, CreativeReview.co.uk, Current TV, Holiday On Ice and more, including his works as a composer for the "Lichtfaktor" lightwriting artist collective and its movies.

The Green Man has been performing DJ and Live Sets internationally including overseas gigs and in 2008 also contributed a DJ Mix on behalf of Groove Attack for Knowledge Magazine's CD. In 2011 UK Mixmag has chosen his Basswerk dc2 digital compilation including a TGM dj mix to be compilation of the month. He also does music videos and artist tutorials on www.youtube.com/basswerkrec. He is also known as an author of various books on music production in german language and teaches music production and beatdesign lessons
in an engineering school once a week in Cologne.

To have this release on R&S feels like the most natural thing in the world. This is the label that put out Lemon D and Jacob's Optical Stairway (aka 4 Hero) in the 1990s, placing drum'n'bass firmly within the continuum of international electronic music - and there is nobody better placed to draw the links between the current d'n'b scene and the wider world of techno, electronica and bass music than dBridge.
The record opens with a sample of simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious Jamaican dread wisdom, that leads into the Skeptical collaboration 'Move Way'. This is track is a perfect example of the half-tempo rhythms that dBridge helped pioneer, a kind of d'n'b parallel to the deepest dubstep yet which still maintains the momentum of 170bpm parent genre through subliminal flickers of percussion. 'Death of a Drum Machine' is a more standard d'n'b roller rhythmically but is embellished by filmic piano chords and absolutely exquisite production. Finally 'Plain to See' steps outside genre completely. Again with the half-step/double time thing going on, it's simply a piece of awesome electronica: a love letter to vintage electronic drum sounds yet utterly modern, rich in slowly unfolding layers of synth melody and harmony, and the perfect counterpart to the other two tracks on this perfectly structured EP.

After the huge success of Bassface Sascha's International Sound release in 2008, the D Style crew felt compelled to go back to the German-based producer for some further freshness. International Sound VIP and End of Line will be no disappointment to those who've heard his previous productions. Get yourself ready for some no-frills, high-energy drum and bass that cuts straight to the chase.

* Covering both sides of the Drum and Bass spectrum, Grid and Allsorts have each become a byword for the chilled out and hard-edged sides of the DnB scene alike. Grid Recordings returns for a new bout of hard-hitting DnB.
* Following on from their debut EP on Grid under their Malachai & Voltage moniker which created quite a stir towards the end of 2012 and had spins from across the scene the UK based duo now return as Cabin Fever UK.
* Formed in 2011 Cabin Fever UK the team behind Cabin fever have previously had releases on Ram Records, Frequency and Generation X Recordings worked with the likes of Les of Lab 4 and featured in such festivals as Innovation & Hysteria.
* Cabin Fever UK have also earned airtime from BBC Radio 1, Asian network, 1Xtra, as well as DJ support from Grooverider, Hazard, Mampi Swift and Crissy Criss, Ray Keith, Blade Runner, Savage Rehab, Vapour, and many more.
* One of DnB's freshest acts now steps up to deliver four stand out slices of D&B.

Strictly limited to 500 copies.
Along the west coast of Co Kerry in Ireland you will
find the amazing Valentia Island.
Attached by a bridge to the mainland, it is a place of
beauty touched by years of history and the songs of
the sea.
I managed to obtain a house there for a few weeks,
I took my computer and mic with me not knowing
what to expect when I got there.
In one of the rooms sat a piano, and as my fingers
touched the keys I knew there was a story there
waiting to be told.
The sound of the piano in that place was something
very magical as 100mph winds battered the house
and interrupted my recordings.
Other material has since emerged from those days
spent on the island, but the main body of work that I
recorded there makes up this album that I now
present to you.

Laurent Garnier, Patrick Forge, Jean-Claude (IF),

*Limited edition vinyl
*Renegade Hardware are proud to present the Reanimation EP, featuring four remixes of previous Hardware standards by some of the hottest names in the game right now. Original tracks by Usual Suspects, Optiv & BTK, Maztek and Future Cut are reimagined by InsideInfo, Maztek, Optiv & BTK and Verb respectively.
*The InsideInfo remix of Usual Suspects' Killa Bees leads things off, with its recognisable apocalyptic opening and signature vocal sample. As the beat drops in, the world as you know it will stop, replaced by a pulsing, addictive soundscape. InsideInfo adds his usual rolling, head nodding beats, and squelching, claustrophobic basslines. You'll be surrounded by Killer Bees, and won't be able to get away.
*Three of the best get together on the next two cuts, with Maztek remixing Inception by Optiv and BTK and the British/Brazilian combo returning the favour on the Italian's Limber. On the former, things get dark and deadly early on, with a sci-fi feel mixed with classic RH vibes. The sound is of a dystopian future, controlled by the machine overlords, as booming bass teams up with sliding live-effect drums.
*On the Optiv and BTK remix of Limber, the duo have opened up the track, letting the inner workings breathe more, by which method the soul and the funk of the original is emphasised. After a towering opening, the raw guts of the track spill onto the sidewalk, as visceral and unforgiving as anything you'll hear all year. Get caught in the web that is Limber.
*Closing things off we have Verb going in on the classic Whiplash by Future Cut. The samples are all still there, but this time surrounded by some tunnel-like synths before the drop. When things do close in, we are treated to a hail of amens, lifted by the sheer rush of the drums, and some steadily-handled bass runs.
*The future of Renegade Hardware is in good hands, and the original vibes of the label are being taken forward by the new generation. Grab the Reanimation EP, and be part of it.
*Radio Support: Plays from: Friction Radio 1 (2 x whipash / 1 x killa bees plays). Crissy Criss - BBC 1xtra
Featured on Frictions forthcoming Fabric 70 mix CD as well as Dieselboys recent Beyond The Black Bassline mix.
*Dj Supprt: Andy C / Friction / Dieselboy / Rockwell / Audio / Black Sun Empire / Ed Rush / Dose / The Prototypes

*(A1) Submorphics - Cosmic Blue
With an intro of beautiful strings washing in over warm breaks it's not long before a delicate synth eases us in to this deep journey that is 'Cosmic Blue' by Submorphics. One for those long summer nights, gorgeous.
Dj Quotes:
LTJ Bukem - Loving this can't stop playing this every Set
*(B1) Malaky - Drifting
Then Malaky turns it on for 'Drifting' which as the names suggests does exactly that as it draws you in for an ear-pleasing, smile-inducing slab of highly accomplished drum & bass.
