Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Not one, but two releases from the quite amazing Horizons Music. The Brazilian phenomenon Nitri has so much good music around at the moment, and the good people at Horizons have decided to spread the love across their next two releases, Horizons 65 and 66.
* The nucleus of both slabs is Searching, featuring Jinadu. The track has been remixed by some big names, and these reimaginings appear across the two releases. The original is perhaps Nitri's best work yet, with a deep internal structure, and yearning, contemplative melody. Jinadu's soulful vocals match the production perfectly, as Nitri transports you into his own world, one where heartfelt emotions come to the fore, showing the power of his music to the full.
Marky 'great!'
Friction 'thx! 4/5'
S.P.Y 'wicked tracks, i love the break remix '

LTD EDITION 12

Following on in the ever incredible Shogun standard is one of the hottest properties in electronic music, Rockwell. Having proved himself over the past few years as one of the most intricate and original producers to have worked through the ranks, Rockwell continues to drop jaws all over the world with his unique brand of drum & bass and here again it's not hard to see why.

* First up on the newly re-launched Emotif label is a massive single from a rising star of the Drum n Bass scene known simply as Smokesta. As a DJ, he has been present on the scene for a number of years, playing regularly on stations such Kool Fm as well as at various Drum & Bass raves across the capital. Now that his debut EP is ready to drop on Emotif recordings, surely his time as a producer has also now arrived...
* First up on the EP is a track entitled 'Back In It' which is poised to become one of the biggest anthems the Drum n Bass scene has witnessed in recent years. It's rousing vocal works like a call to arms and almost seems to demand your presence on the dance-floor. Pair that with its half-time intro of subtle reggae stabs and old skool rave chords and it's not long before you're totally hooked. Once the raucous stabs, incessant drums and tearing bassline finally arrive, it's a combination that's so irresistible it has already become a firm fixture in many a big name DJ's record box. Early supporters such as DJ SS and Grooverider have been championing the track for months already and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the scene follows suit.
* On the flipside is 'Kongotized', another sure-fire Drum & Bass anthem which almost manages to surpass the relentless energy of its counterpart. As the name might suggest it features plenty of rapid fire percussion layered carefully over a menacing sub bass line, squelchy dub horns and deep bass stabs with enough ferocity to tear a hole in even the hardiest of Drum & Bass sound systems. All in all this is real statement of intent from a label that has just returned to the scene and a heavyweight release from a producer that will doubtless become one of the leading lights in drum & bass for years to come.

It's with great pride and pleasure that Shogun Audio present the first single to be taken from the eagerly awaited debut album from production powerhouse, Spectrasoul. Teaming up with Mercury Music Prize nominee Terri Walker and Manchester's vocal fire-starter Fox they deliver one hell of an intro to what will surely be one of the most exciting electronic music albums of 2012.

Old school Detroit flavour on this one!

27. Nu:Logic 'Hells Bells' *
28. Danny Byrd feat General Levy 'Blaze The Fire (Rah!)' (Sub Zero remix)
29. Quadrant, Kid Hops and Iris 'Hovercraft' *

*Young Echo formed and broadcasted their first radio show in 20
*Launchpad for the careers of Zomby, SBTRKT, and many others; RAMP is very proud to announce Young Echo's debut album Nexus
*Unmistakably from Bristol, the group would be hard pushed to avoid comparisons with Portishead & Massive Attack. While sharing sonics with the former, and the gang mentality of the latter, Young Echo update the Bristol Sound will the collective knowledge of Dubstep, Grime, Techno & Garage.

DISLTD009 see's the Belgian onslaught continue with the second April release for Dispatch Ltd
This time following up from April's earlier intercontinental affair, three of Belgians finest exports bring 'Point of No return',
'Reflexions' and 'Chronicles' to Dispatches Ltd outlet.
Mzine and Scepticz production rate is nothing short of prolific and this is certainly reflected here in both the creative content and
production quality, all three tracks carry their familiar and now signature stripped back sonic soundscapes, truly illustrating that by
adding less, more can definitely be achieved!
Each single element is carefully sculpted and positioned within its own frequency space with the highest level of precision, leaving
that all important, perfect measure of room to allow all of the low frequency content to breath and cut through to maximum effect.
'Point of No Return' has understandably been a staple inclusion for most of Skeptical and Ant TC1's recent sets and "Reflexions"
was aired by Xtrah on Frictions Radio 1 show guest Mix, a clear testament to the release's high standard.
Tunes like these purely reflect all of those essential & inherent qualities that have driven this music through two decades, music that
truly looks forward and continues to explore sonic possibility, examples that once again prove that Drum and Bass Music is still one,
(If not the!) most progressive and future thinking musical genres of our time.

While DJ Ollie's presence on the D&B club scene has been a given for the past decade, regularly appearing at events
such as Innovation, Warning & Random Concept, his production output has taken second stage while he
concentrated on broadcasting, firstly on Ministry of Sound Radio, then setting up & hosting the popular Innovation
Podcast.
Now back in the studio & on the case DJ Ollie comes with two bangers which are already setting dancefloors on fire!
'Chinook' goes straight in with a combination of crisp beats, old skool vocal flavours and a gruff, sub heavy bassline
which has already been getting good crowd reactions. 'Shakedown' is pure energy, coming with what some have
described as a classic Bristol sound, guaranteed to get your head nodding and dancefloors jumping!

Bespoke vinyl sleeve featuring cut sleeve front, printed inner sleeve and with artwork from a specially comissioned painting by Amelie Petit Moreau - limited to 500 copies first pressing

Hyetal returns with his second album Modern Worship LP.

After making his name with a series of off kilter dance floor releases and collaborative projects - mutant boogie outfit Velour (with Julio Bashmore), and a joint release with Punch Drunk boss Peverelist, Hyetal released his debut album Broadcast in 20
Modern Worship continues the journey further down the rabbit hole, as a selection of begged, borrowed and stolen analogue equipment rubs up against breathy digital synthesis and sound design. The results are twisted electronic pop songs and soundscapes, with knowing nods to dancefloors across the ages. Percussively a more refined and aggressive record to Broadcast, break-neck drum machines informed by post punk experimentalists and hip hop micro genres are set against melodies conceived from daydreams of childhood nostalgia and imagined futuristic vistas.

Moscow producer NPhonix has been quietly building a name for himself with strong releases on Audio Culture and Mindtech over the last six months, now he looks to step up a gear with a quality EP on Shifting Peaks.

Opener Getting Run Down loops up a nagging hip hop sample over skittering dukey beats and washes drifting pads and spacey keys over the top for a hypnotic late night groover. 'Reach Out' goes at a calmer pace, but revolves around intense builds, insistent polyrhythms and detroity riffs for a bit of hypnagogic drama.

On memix duties, Om Unit does what you hope he's going to do, injecting Reach Out with seemingly infinite swathes of space and bottom end, looping about at his own pace, but with that constant sense of Om Unit purpose .

Nphonix closes out proceedings with a tweaky, rubbery -acid style workout that will find friends in bass and house camps .

1) LTJ Bukem Mixed Vocal by Deeizm MC
2) LTJ Bukem Mixed Vocal by MC Stamina
3) Track 16 - Not Forgotten - Paul SG
* The legendary, ground breaking pioneer of breakbeat culture, LTJ Bukem returns just in time for the summer to sprinkle some of that goodlooking gold dust across your sound systems. A brand new upfront collection of jungle drum & bass gems that encapsulate the trademark liquid sound synomous with the label since it's inception back in 1992, 'bukem IN SESSION' is the soundtrack to those hazy lazy evenings ahead and those sweaty 4am Fabric moments alike. Mixed by the master himself and featuring a host of established and well known acts alongside several of the new breed, * 'bukem IN SESSION showcases where the seminal goodlooking imprint is in 2013, carving out as always its own inimitable style within drum & bass that no others can deny. It's a blissful arual assault as we're treated to the likes of Vandera and dRamatic & dbAudio capturing that vintage GLR vibe while the prolific Random Movement digs deep for the biggest bassline on the album. Also included are two of the camp's most memorable moments from the past in Bukem's stone cold classics 'Atlantis' and 'Music', both reworked by some of the stars of today, Marky, S.P.Y. and Technicolour.
* All this sewn together seamlessly by one of true turntable technicians of the last 20 years, the drum & bass visionary LTJ Bukem makes this another essential addition to the goodlooking discography.

In the past year Dr Meaker have had huge support on radio and online including Radio 1 with Zane Lowe, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Rob Da Bank all tipping the band, as well as 1Xtra's Trevor Nelson, DJ Target and a Maida Vale Session for Mistajam. On top of that spins on Choice, 6Music and XFM, in between appearances at Glastonbury and numerous other festivals around the world.
* The original Fighter made it onto the 1Xtra Playlist where is stayed for 8 weeks gaining huge support and was the second single in a row from Dr Meaker on V Records to get play listed by the taste making station.
* These remixes stay true to the vibe of the original mix but each producer stamping their own unique style on proceedings. Rising Brazilian star 'Unreal', brother of the legendary S.P.Y and definitely one to watch and Jump Up favourite DJ Sly both give their take on this huge cut with spectacular results.
*Club support: Bryan Gee, Crissy Criss DJ Hype, DJ Marky, Bailey, Roni Size, DJ Craze, Doc Scott and DJ Ink

* After the release of the classy 'Blame / Warm Winters' from the phenomenal Hybrid Minds, Allsorts continue to bring the quality Drum and Bass with another slick release, this time from Maduk & Nymfo.
* After only beginning to produce in 2011, Maduk has already had releases on the likes of Liquicity, Fokuz and the mighty Hospital Recordings. After 2012 saw him clock over 2 million plays on Youtube for his track 'Ghost Assassin (feat. Veela)' as well as winning the official Viper Recordings Beatport remix contest for Matrix & Futurebound's 'All I Know', Maduk is set for an even bigger 2013. Alongside him is Nymfo, one of the most cutting edge producers on the scene. Known for his precise, gritty style Nymfo has earned releases on some of Drum and Bass most enduring labels including Commercial Suicide, Samurai Music, Critical Recordings and Goldie's legendary Metalheadz. Now the two varied producers join forces for two cuts of precise, soulful classic Drum and Bass on Allsorts.
* Crossroads - A progressive rolling Drum and Bass track, 'Crossroads' is a blend of rich vocal snippets and crystal clear synths. Chugging forward with intricate percussion, a warm bassline and subtle synth work, 'Crossroads' has soul and precision in equal measure.
* Ordinary Ways - The flipside sees both producers combine their unique styles to once again form another classy slice of Drum and Bass. Combining distinctive vocals with rolling drums and bags of atmosphere, 'Ordinary Ways' packs in attitude with original percussion, and the result is another sick joint effort.* Support : Matrix & Futurebound, Metrik, London Elektricity, High Contrast, Camo & Krooked, Netsky, The Prototypes, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, John B, Crissy Cris and Grooverider to name a few.

Naibu, has been busy. We're giving him a well deserved rest. Fresh on the back of his highly acclaimed 'Fall' project, and the 'Never Released' album, Naibu fans have been spoiled with quality beats, and as he buries himself in the studio writing some fresh music, we are letting some of our favourite artists remix some of his works.
* 'Long way out' is taken from Naibu's 'Habitat LP' released on Horizons last year. Survival is making some real moves at the moment with some huge tunes on dub plate, he's got a historic association with Horizons, and we've welcomed him back to remix this one. 'Shadows of the past' is Naibu's twist on another track from his Habitat LP "Dig the past." It's 7 minutes long, and is an inspiring listen from start to finish. HZNX010 and HZNX011 also are 12's featuring Naibu tracks reworked. A superb triple header.

V Records takes it back to the old skool with a huge release from T Power & John Rolodex. Two very contrasting tracks bursting with original Jungles flavours and militant two step vibes.
* Hailing from Bow, London, T Power is no stranger to Drum and Bass. His seminal experimental album, 'The Self Evident Truth of an Intuitive Mind' set him on the road before teaming up with Shy FX, for 'Diary of a Digital Soundboy' and 'Set It Off' which spawned the classic 'Shake Ur Body' that soared to number 7 in the UK Chart. Not content with the world of DnB, T Power has also had releases on Ninja Tune under the guise of Chocolate Weasel.
* Joining forces with T Power for the A side 'That Jungle Vibe ft Khadija' and going it alone for the flip 'Chromium', John Rolodex is also a known quantity to DnB heads. With releases on Dread as well and many other respected labels, the Canada-based John Rolodex makes his debut release on V.
* Support: Crissy Criss, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, DJ Craze, Logistics, Bryan Gee, Kenny Ken, Nicky Blackmarket and more

Over the past releases Fokuz Recordings has acted as a solid platform for exciting new drum & bass prospects. After the successful 'Fifty Five' compilation Fokuz Recordings now presents the 'Rainbow Trail Of Memories' LP by Ukrainian drum & bass producer Sunny Crimea.

10 soulful drum & bass cuts switched up by lovely downtempo/nujazz vibes create a stark, solid, warm and rolling undivided whole. 'Rainbow Trail Of Memories' represents everything that you fell in love with drum & bass in the first place: subtleties, sophistication and just a slight sense of pensive menace.

Awakening from it's long hibernation, the italian imprint Avantgarde Records fathered by Dabs and Grotesque creeps up back in the scene with quite a profound release under it's belt. Dabs works his production technique on the remix for Eastcolors' tune 'I Don't Know Why' adding a stellar structure and evolutionay production on the A side. Off-beat thumping beat work brushed with an understated vocal. Vigorous sweeps and a grumbling bassline, all this solidifying the track into something that's after your cerebral cortex. The B side of this release is the variation in prodution for the track 'Sparse' by Quadrant and Iris which was out earlier on the label now reintroduces itself with a more driving minimal feel and unfolding basslines. Not much of a big variation to the original but it is notable polish.

Churning through the crackle of the radio airwaves is the unmistakable metronomic bass line of 'Cyantific Dub', the forthcoming
single on Cyantific Music.
Rising from the ashes of the stark London skyline, this reincarnation of roots culture has lit the torch of dance floors worldwide over
the past months. Swirling reverb, intoxicating horns and thunderous claps have transformed clubs into time capsules, taking the
people back to a lost sound system, pounding out the rhythm you've had in your subconscious since you first put a needle to a
record.
'Cyantific Dub' is a rallying call to an entire subculture, a war cry chanting 'No man stands alone'. No festival will be without this vibes
provider, no nightclub can galvanize its troops without it and speaker stacks are crying out for this pressure. Set to drop as a limited 1
sided 10", we're taking it back to the days of acetate, rammed out dubplate cutting houses and instant reloads.
Raise a hand to your selector, pound your chest and salute the dance. As the smoke clears and the dust settles, 'Cyantific Dub' is out
on the streets and it's not planning on stopping til every cheek is off every seat.

After finishing a UK arena tour and currently travelling the globe for festivals including a residency for Ibiza & Mallorca Rocks, this August will see the release of Example's greatest hits, '#hits', featuring all his greatest hits.

The 16-track album features the #1 singles Stay Awake and Change The Way You Kissed Me from Platinum selling album 'Playing In the Shadows' along with the massive hits Kickstarts, Say Nothing, Unorthodox and We'll Be Coming Back plus more!

Last seen on Ram tearing up the dance with the mighty 'Deep In My Heart' and 'Rich Kids', Hamilton has been in studio lockdown working on a whole series of next-level workouts that will be rolling out this June and July. Presented in a unique three-vinyl release schedule, this is, without doubt, Hamilton's biggest delivery to date.

'Get Together' is another fine example of Hamilton's aspirational audio; broadcasting one clear message of unity it's a sonic kaleidoscope of striding stabs, twinkling arpeggios, euphoric dynamics and an emphatic vocal message. Vibrant and unashamedly positive but laced with plenty of low-end naughtiness, it's the ultimate huggathon anthem.

'Overdrive' follows. Igniting with instant percussive drama and palpitating haunted synths, we're soon thrown deep into the sub pit as a slinky-but-savage bassline sears back and forth, answering questions you didn't even ask. Rolling with a slight twang of techno sensibility, the rises and processed bass glitches give it the ultimate 'heads down' feel. In a word: heavy!

Two of D&B's most exciting new Bristol based production houses drop their debut release on Critical Music's Modulations imprint.
Pristine, brooding drum & bass aimed squarely at the more experimental side of the spectrum, pitched perfectly for Critical's forward
thinking attitude.

The long awaited debut EP from talented new artist Ipman touches down on Wheel and Deal. You may have already heard his
dubplate's smashing clubs and radio with Support from the likes of Youngsta, N-Type, Distance and his good friend Killawatt, who
has a succession of releases with Wheel & Deal Records.
Ipman has an eclectic and diverse musical taste with a strong background in sound design. His tracks are deep and atmospheric but
with infectious hooks and ground breaking beats. His ability to cross several genres in one track puts him at the forefront of the new
Dubstep movement. This release brings Techno, Reggae, Dub & House into the mix with a fresh and current style! Ipman is defiantly
one to watch in 2013 and beyond!

Born in Canada, now residing in Leeds, 21 year old producer Nathan Micay - Bwana is the latest artist to join the Somethinksounds roster. With zero production experience, Bwana only started making tunes at the start of 2011. Fast forward 18 months and he has already signed tracks to Canadian label Infinite Machines (Over and Done EP), to Mad Decent imprint The Jeffrees (Can't you Just/This is Real) and featured upon the playlists of tastemakers Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank and Rinse FM's Monki. July 30th will see Bwana release the R&B infused bass-heavy Baby Let Me Finish on a limited run of 12" vinyl. Along with B side Nami Swan the package also features several great remixes - more info on those to follow soon. The future is looking bright for this talented upstart

Panic Girl returns with her long awaited first studio album Lowlands to be released onInfiltrator Records, following the critically-acclaimed Burn And Rise EP and The Panic Girl Remix EP, which joined together artists like dBridge, Phace and Duo Infernale.This 12-track LP is a very personal and unique journey into the mind of Panic Girl, exploring the depths, dark corners and sparkling mysteries of trip hop and electronica and not only thrusts Panic Girl to new heights, but is also highly addictive and deeply enchanting. With this album Panic Girl is further developing her own sound, taking in haunting melodies, a love of the bass, heavy synth work and oldskool sounds.

Inform Records is very proud to announce INFORMV001, their first vinyl release. This time
Inform have added another layer to the international dimension established on their last
single with the inclusion of D&B prodigy Alexey Fuifanov; known to the world as Command
Strange.
Originally from Kazakhstan, Command Strange has developed a fearsome reputation as
an incredibly talented producer and DJ with both past and incoming releases on, among
others; V Records, Horizons Music, Good Looking, Liquid V, Fokuz, Integral, Celsius,
Antillectual Beats, Metalheadz Platinum and Nu Directions.
Command Strange is reunited on INFORMV001 with his soul brother: Dynamic. As a new
addition to the Inform stable and rising star Dynamic has rapidly carved out his own niche
in the UK liquid scene with releases on Goodlooking, Fokuz, Celsuis & Black Reflections
Records and has had DJ support from musical titans like LTJ Bukem, Bailey and Mary
Anne Hobbs to name but a few.
The A side, entitled A Girl Like You, is the more relaxed affair of the two and is plainly a
tune made with summer in mind. The track itself is built around a subtle vocal sample that
references classic soul and funk and is offset by beautiful sweeping pads and rhodes
chords that really make this track stand out. The soul groove that the intro establishes is
accentuated by a low, sweeping, analogue-sounding bassline that nicely compliments the
duo's gentle, natural drum sounds. A dazzling slice of liquid funk that carries on in Inform's
liquid vein while simultaneously setting the bar high for any artist to follow.
Luckily the following artist is none other than the one of the USA's greatest exports and a
man that needs no introduction; Random Movement. Back on remix duty again, RM's take
on A Girl Like You keeps all of the original's melodic elements and combines them with his
own signature tight production. The B side is definitely more of a dancefloor track; the
drums are a little harder, there's a catchy guitar hook that'll catch you and make you want
to move and the bassline has a ruder, more synthetic edge that's sure to cause some
damage on a system.
INFORMV001 is, at its heart, a showcase of the Inform liquid D&B sound and a solid, wellrounded
induction into the world of vinyl for a label that's looking set to achieve great
things this year. Although this is Inform Record's first vinyl release, it certainly won't be
their last.

The marvelous classic returns with a fresh breath of new life, accompanied on the flipside by a touch of softness applied to a big forthcoming unknown. As Mav's full album is looming out of the horizon more and more, here is another 'teaser', so to speak, to make you ready for the things to come. With SCI013 you can feast upon a splendid single featuring two fantastic remixes of the past and the present. Let's have a closer look at the tracks
themselves. Do you remember 2003 and Mav's groundbreaking 'Me Against the Machines' released on Fokuz LTD It surely has swept some dancefloors across the globe, hasn't it Well, guess what - it's back, revamped by the Hungarian expert on acid-driven basslines and twisted beats, the one-andonly Chris.SU! The remix does full justice to the original version of the track, but also enriches it with fat neurofunk vibes involving heavy bassline and sharp rolling drums to make it work effectively in today's drum & bass reality. As the past has been covered, let's move to the present. One thing you can be sure about Mav's new album is that it pays some genuine tribute to the classic atmospheric concept of d'n'b, and one of the tracks especially close to this concept is 'Skylines' - remixed here by Brazil's supertalent going by the name of Bungle; the man is capable of delivering some wonderful
softness and harmony to any kind of music he deals with and 'Skylines' is no exception to this - with heavenly pads, warm bassline, delicately stepping syncopated beats and a splash of charming melodiousness it becomes a real soulful lullaby. That said, have a sneak peek at the previews yourself and see how to skillfully combine a lesson of history with the spirit of today.

*This is an extremely limited product packaged in a clear PVC sleeve. Contains a hand-numbered single piece 12' vinyl LP featuring 8 tracks, together with the full 13-track CD album and an exclusive 12' print of the album artwork as created by acclaimed Russian illustrator Igor Yanovsky.
*'Sprouted and Formed' is the inaugural album from enthralling electronic duo Rawtekk. Hailing from Hamburg in Germany, Rawtekk initially caught the attention of Med School with the sublime 'Snowflakes' which features on the 2011 edition of the label's popular 'New Blood' compilation series, and they have also released on labels such as Subtitles and Noisia's Division Recordings and collaborated with fellow Hamburg resident and close friend Phace (Neosignal).
*Fast forward to 2013 and Stefan and Christine return to Med School with their first ever full-length long-player which effortlessly combines precision engineering with elegant song-writing sensibilities.
*Kicking things off, 'A Magnanimous Kind's Will' is a beautiful, dreamy utterance with a distinctive take on dubstep. This is followed up by introspective drum & bass cut 'Photone Recruits', which appeared on Hospital's summer 'Hospitality 2013' compilation and the excellent 'No More Vaccine'. The eerie melancholy of 'Anywhere' rounds things off on the side A.
*Flipping over and we have another collection of beauties; first the intruiging 'Halo' and 'Working Man'. Next we have gnarly D&B number 'To Be A Space Monkey' and last but not least the spaced-out beatless melodies of 'Ventricle'.
*'Sprouted and Formed' is a captivating story told through a range of soundscapes and emotions... profound and haunting, surreal and cinematic, brutish yet sensitive, bringing together complexity and simplicity.
*Rawtekk will be presenting 'Sprouted & Formed' live at Fabric in London on Friday 5th July. For more info head to medschoolmusic.com or fabriclondon.com

Zero Method and L33 are landing the Citrus nest with another feisty 2 tracker. Great rolling rhythms all through out topped off with some aggressive vocal cuts on the B side. Such a dancefloor smasher this one.

Last seen on Ram tearing up the dance with the mighty 'Deep In My Heart' and 'Rich Kids', Hamilton has been in studio lockdown working on a whole series of next-level workouts that will be rolling out this June and July. Presented in a unique three-vinyl release schedule, this is, without doubt, Hamilton's biggest delivery to date.

'Push It' is the ultimate motivational message. The perfect way to start this epic series of slammers; Hamilton nods at his authentic rave heritage with rushy, synth blasts and a sexy breathy vocal while an enormous metallic bassline worms and wriggles beneath. You'll be hard pushed to find a finer balance of laser-gazing and screw-facing this season...

Like to get sweary and lairy Head straight to 'F**k It Up'. A ruthless bassline monster, it oozes sub trouble as the clipped lead bass tones stalk the sharp two-step with true menace. With a rabble-rousing vocal sample on the fills and builds, 'F**k It Up' isn't a suggestion... It's a guarantee.

*A stone cold classic from the GLO archives gets brought out for a rub down from two of D&B's finest, Brazilian boys Marky and S.P.Y. Keeping all the original elements intact that made it so special first time around it's a suitably subtle rework, beefing up the drums and giving it the 2013 treatment to make a very special re-work indeed. Comes complete with the seminal original mix on the flip.

Shogun Audio is very proud to present the brand new sophomore album from the unstoppable, wholly original, Alix Perez. Having laid his foundations firmly within drum & bass over the past eight years it was his debut LP back in 2009 that set a precedent for his musical ambition as '1984' astounded critics and fans the world over from the broadsheets to the bloggers. 'Chroma Chords' marks the new chapter; a multi-genre tour de force, a thoroughbred electronic musical masterpiece that casts Alix Perez in a league all of his own.
- In the words of Alix Perez...'Essentially, 'Chroma Chords' is a snapshot of my past, present and future. It encapsulates a sonic translation of experiences, influences and genuine emotion.Without straying too far from the work I'm previously known for, it's a testament to experimentation, development and a display of things to come. Leaving compromise aside altogether, this album is an honest reflection of my standpoint as an electronic artist.
'While revisiting preceding ground yet touching on new avenues, my point with 'Chroma Chords' is to defy preconceptions while staying true to my sound and identity. Intently indulging and lending itself to a world of influences it's a platform for new ideas, pushing boundaries and steering away from habitual patterns.
'Whatever the listener's interpretation, I really hope that they enjoy it. Sincerely,Alix'
