bangers.

that will wake waves the world over. A co-lab of
killer proportions, make way for Killa Tingz...
'Revolution Time' is undiluted audio justice.
Opening with cinematic sweeping synths and an
epoch-defining news sample, the boys then throw
us savagely into a series of blistered breakbeats
and oozing subs. As YT's sing-song chatter re-
emerges, it's a total revolution of the mind and
senses.
Next up 'Save Mi Life': here we find the Serial Killaz
going solo for a rifle-like skank-up. Teasing us with
a well-known Toots bassline and another razor-
sharp riddim, YT's tale of musical assistance in his
journey from badman....

meticulously picked Drum & Bass tracks from some of the hottest talents on board that

uncluttered roller named 'Tough Breaker'. Simple & efficient.
With releases on labels such as Goldie's legendary imprint Metalheadz , 2012 has been a

effort from Quartz , a new duo hailing from Cardiff.
On Disc 3, Gerwin steps up his game with 'It's All In Your Head', a seedy piece of minimal
tech funk. Once again, his ease and versatility definitively makes him one of the name to be
watched out for in the coming months. Last but not least, Belgian producer Atmospherix
teams up with S-Vb for some 'modular revenge'.
Raw sickness.

Soul Intent is a Drum and Bass DJ/Producer based in Nottingham UK and the Owner of Lossless Music. After releases on labels like
31 RECORDS / BLINDSIDE / BROKEN AUDIO / COMMERCIAL SUICIDE / CREATIVE SOURCE / CYLON / DEMAND / INGREDIENTS / LOSSLESS MUSIC / MAC II / PROJECT 51 / SAMURAI MUSIC / VAMPIRE the time is right to start releasing on his own imprint and his debut is a banger. 2 straight forward high quality drum and bass tunes for the true fans.

A : Donny & Forbidden Society - Creator & Destroyer

For some hard Drum & Bass fans maybe like a dream come true:) The collaboration of this track went really good, and the result is proper Drum & Bass smasher with big cinematic intro that turns into hard DNB track with big distorted reece & smashing drums! Tested and works really good, specially if you start with this one! Really happy we could do this together with master Donny, really nice guy and good producer, FSRECS is happy to have this talent on the artist rooster:)

B : Audio - Burn It Down

Let's be honest, Audio is the no.1 in Drum & Bass now, his ideas in tracks, the mixdowns and like everything is so sick. Gareth is really good guy, honest and to get an Audio tune on a label is not that easy, so FSRECS is really proud to have him on the label. Burn It Down is a bit older tune from Gareth, its like from the FReak Recordings / Tech Freak era, but this wont to get this track down, i am sure a lot of hard Drum & Bass fans, and not only hard will be happy to have this banger and play out! Audio as its best as we know him, big kick, bass that turns you back in hell, and crispy snares. This track just make you move even if you don't want to! Audio is the Master!:)

In 2009, on a typical sunny day in downtown Los Angeles, Gridlok was at his home studio fiercely working on his next album. Meanwhile a few floors above, a young woman was standing on the edge of his roof staring through the Los Angeles skyline contemplating about how her American Dream died long ago. While deeply focused on his task at hand, Gridlok was suddenly distracted by a loud scream, and then a bang, and then silence...

"American Dream" is inspired by this true event and pays homage to those who have lost their dreams. May we never lose ours.

Citrus Recordings present their 55th vinyl release in the form of the Deadly Funk EP.

On the A side Budapest based duo Incident, known for their versatile production, deliver a proper neuro flavoured banger. It's all about the dark soundscapes, growling synths and pounding drums that will set any room on fire!

On the flip we have Place 2B & Paimon with something that we find truly special! Revolving around a sped up funk sample the track is just an outburst of energy. It's easy to say this one will definitely do the trick. Did somebody say rewind!

Intelligent Manners highly anticipated 'The Movement LP' is finally here.
After dropping numerous singles and EPs on Fokuz, Celsius, Have-A-Break and a string of other labels he still continues to conquer new musical spaces during this project. Well known producers such as Enei, Command Strange, Nuage and vocalists Iriann Joyce and Pouyah took part in completing some of the tracks on the LP, which has 14 in total.
Intelligent Manners proves once again he is a rising star in the current d&b scene, his productions are warm, tasteful and suitable for a club environment as well while relaxing at home. If slick, melodic and well-crafted dance music is your thing, you've probably come to the right place.

They new Dutty Audio and again a KILLER! No doubt that Optiv and BTK are the biggest producers of the moment creating hit after hit on labels like PLAYAZ and many others. This brand new EP holds 2 smashing AUDIO productions. First a remix of the epic Sabretooth and on a flip an original track created together with METH! Big release!!

*Having teased us with a free download in recent weeks it's time to present the real deal, the first official single taken from the brand new 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, being one of the first producers to really embrace the crossing of the genres; '1984' astounded critics and fans the world over, gaining accolades across the board from the likes of Mixmag and DJ Mag through to the Metro newspaper and Q Magazine. Now as we get ready for the next chapter, 'Annie's Song' serves as the ultimate prelude to the main event, a thoroughbred electronic masterpiece.
- Hard to pigeon-hole, 'Annie's Song' is a sublime slice of bright-eyed electro R&B featuring the stirring vocals of Sam Wills and some of the most sparkling production to have ever come out of the Perez studio. Plucked strings, affected vocals and fuzzy synths all melt together over a thick half-time break for a full-on future soul excursion perfect for those warmer springtime days ahead.
- The vinyl version leads with the jungle remix from Hospital Records' Brazilian tour de force, S.P.Y. As he ups the BPM's back into drum & bass territories we're treated to dirty percussive amen workout underpinned by a huge sub b-line and that all important Sam Wills vocal, offering a little refrain from the dance floor demolition in progress.
- We're then treated to another slice of the album with Alix himself back in D&B mode for 'We Could Have Been' featuring D.Ablo; a house infused piece of liquid drum & bass, full of twinkling pianos and deep, deep vibes to keep the faithful happy.

Marcus Visionary at his best!!! Jungle Don Marcus works his magic on this remix of Killa Mosquito's Ganja, with Mr Williamz on
vocals. For those that love the reggae Jungle this is a must!

After a long period of rest, Destpub returns in the game. Used to cain dancefloors with hard and heavy dubstep, the french label is bringing out its 11th output on the footwork vibe. New orientation came up after discovering those tracks made respectivly by Pushy and Son of a Pitch. Surprised and pleased by the atmosphear and rhythm of their music, the label thought it was the right time to hit back wax...

Top 12" von Dylan Richards, aka King Cannibal (Ninja Tune), aka Zilla (Warp). Darke Dubstep-Electronica mit Einflüssen aus frühem D&B (DJ Krust) und Dub-Techno (Rhythm & Sound). Der Fracture-Remix verbindet D&B mit Footwork/Juke und schlägt die Brücke zwischen Bristol und Berlin. Plus zwei Bonus Tracks.

Nottingham UK based Soul Intent heads up the latest installment of Celsius Recordings providing you with two superb club bangers which are tasty for the heavier DJ-sets.

The EP kicks off with a track called 'Come With Me'. Rolling, shuffling drums, a bit of nasty synth play and a deep sub creates a moody athmosphere. Certified roll out business!

On the flipside 'Falling' shows us a touch of deepnes. The track builds up with a middle eastern kind of atmosphere, melancholic vocal snippets after which it bursts out in a bass driven bubble of sound. Stylish stuff here from Soul Intent!

Hook swords

The mighty Sunchase smacks it out of the park with another legendary release. The track initially builds up with low, suggestive bass-line and textures from another world. However, the quiet is destroyed with sickening bass and an addictive drum pattern. This is a tune designed to get under your skin.

Identify

The AA side is a dark, unstoppable piece of drum 'n bass made for the hardcore faithful. High-pitched textures quickly give way to a grinding bass-line and Shuffling drums, while stabs and echoes punctuate the track until its high-octane conclusion. Not for the faint hearted!

*The final instalment of the Innerground album sampler singles features two of the heavy hitters in the production stakes in recent times. The tried and tested combination of DJ Marky & Makoto has brought many a dancefloor to its knees, whilst new addition, T>I, has shown he has the mettle to dice with some of the biggest names in the game.
*DJ Marky & Makoto bring their unmistakable affinity for keys to 'Bloody Mary', with a beautiful arrangement that just oozes soul. Coupled with the heavy bassline it is set to make you move.
*T>I has shown he is a trued DnB superstar in the making with some serious, deep offerings previously on the Innerground imprint. '2nd Chance' shows the softer slightly more bouncy side to his nature as it ebbs and flows between bass drops and shimmies along with the beat.

Plucked strings, affected vocals and fuzzy synths all melt together over a thick half-time break for a full-on future soul excursion perfect for those warmer springtime days ahead.
- Following on and this limited 10' vinyl is completed by the absolutely pumping remix from man of the moment Shadow Child, taking us deep into some proper UK garage business. Throbbing 4/4 kicks, scattered percussion and the chopped vocal make way for a truly rudeboy bassline ready to rock any club or house party you care to throw it at. A lovely addition to this already superlative Alix Perez single release.
*Limited to only 300 copies

*Space Cadets' first release of 2013 sees a welcome return for label stalwart ASC, who takes the London based imprint deeper into its second phase with three cuts of absorbing futurism. Known for the limitless depth of his sound, ASC fluctuates with purpose. The dystopian drive of 'Dream of the Future' sits alongside the pulsing 'Flood Tide Rising', with 'Outflow' exploring the cavernous sonic space between.
*Original sleeve artwork is once again contributed by US illustrator Theo Ellsworth. All vinyl pressed to extra heavy 180g acetate.

One of the DNB scene's most innovative producers, Billain is a name synonymous with the cutting edge of music production. Known in Neurofunk circles and beyond for his organic, complex and totally original style - Billain has been smashing clubs worldwide, with 2012 seeing the releases of the chilling Total Darkness on Rise Audio and the massive Batbots on Bad Taste Recordings.
* Now, with the heavyweight sounds of Batbots/Manifold still dealing damage, Billain steps up to deliver another dose of his trademark sound. Featuring Blockfield, a detailed sonic journey with dancefloor appeal and Boogie, a track designed to destroy the rave, Billain and Bad Taste are set to smash it once again.
* Blockfield - Featuring a cinematic introduction that will transport you to an alien shore, Blockfield has all the hallmarks of another outrageous Billain production. Packing in carefully honed Neuro-Bass, twisted, distorted sounds and adrenaline fueled drums throughout, Blockfield is a worthy successor to Batbots - one of the biggest Neurofunk tracks of 2012.
* Boogie - The flipside see's Billain break the mould once again. Incorporating elements of Disco and Boogie, Billain combined ravey stabs and complex percussion with his signature style and the results are astounding. Featuring sharp synths, roaring Billain bass and a relentless groove, Boogie is the perfect counterpart to the epic sounds of Blockfield.* Support : B.Traits, Crissy Cris, Concord Dawn, BSE, Optiv, John B, Cause For Concern, State Of Mind, High Contrast, London Elektricity, Phace & more!

Peering over the edge of their second year, Program is re-engaging with some of the acts they broke last summer for some equally impressive follow-up releases. Kove is the first to return to the label. A talented tattooed tearaway with a taste for both the blazing beats and the deeper side of the dance, both cuts on his Program debut - 'Iodine' and 'Open Ground' - became instant 2012 dancefloor standards, championed by key players across the board.
* 'Gone' continues his promising audio armoury with distinct maturity. Breathy and breezy, its stunning depths become apparent from the very first fluttering pad. Coated in a beautifully underplayed vocal hook, 'Gone' rolls with blistered bass grace as staccato kicks and snares puncture the otherwise dreamy ambience... And the groove masterfully develops with timeless dancefloor dynamics. Rolling but never quite rampaging, it represents everything that you fell in love with drum & bass in the first place: subtleties, sophistication and just a slight sense of pensive menace.
* 'Airlock' follows. Allowing the vocal to play more of a dominant role in the mix, it's Kove at his most yearning and poignant. Opening with a blast of minor key euphoria, the skippy, snappy breakbeats take complete control of the groove, bowing a big nod to drum & bass's most formative period. Stark and solid, warm and rolling, as 'Airlock' develops we're treated a fine balance of cruising synth washes and laidback guitar licks as the vocal whistles deep in the well-textured mix. If you're looking to hypnotise your floor any time soon then look no further... This will have your crowd locked in tighter than a state penitentiary.
* Once again, it's time to get with the Program!

*From the opening bars of 'So Inspired To Fail' this vinyl LP is really a lesson in creating beautifully crafted drum & bass. Rene LaVice is smashing his way to the top of the game with an opening track that let's you know he's not messing around.*'Regrets' is a hard hitting track with next level production. This one has been a favourite of Andy C and has been heard in his sets worldwide.*'Perfect World' is a prime example of Rene's ability to put together a track that will undoubtedly smash dancefloors. This track is a heavy roller with a funky vibe, that shows drum and bass at its best.*'More Wore', a nasty stepper, a stormtrooper of a track which will be sure to make your feet march to the beat. Be warned! Not for the faint hearted.*'Tap Dat' continues the rolling vibe with a hint of un-settling darkness that draws you in from the beginning and holds your attention until the very end.
*'The Way You Love Me' draws you in with subtle vocal hooks and chest-warming Reeses. Patrick Christopher's vocals will hook you and never let you go.
*Drawing together classic sounds and giving them a fresh lease of life is Rene LaVice's mainstay, crafting drum & bass that manages to feel nostalgic, infused with timeless, classic intent, but always up to date with fresh production values. Rene LaVice is a producer who wears his influences on his musical sleeve and always brings them together in a new and exciting way, and his debut album is a testament to that incredible talent.

Amens on Night Slugs OG Grime producer P Jam serves up a curveball on the latest instalment of the White Label series.

Known for seminal beats such as "Anger Management" and "Real", P Jam's old skool productions were right among the canon that influenced Night Slugs so much in the days before we were Night Slugs.

Recently P Jam has been developing a unique production style that incorporates intricately edited hardcore breaks into an updated grime sensibility. A style that is ingeniously deployed on the A side of this 12" - a sub-heavy 2013 jungle 'cover' of a certain very famous Frankie Knuckles production - which is a concept that's just too perfect for the NSWL series. And it's built solid and razor sharp. Ecstasy guaranteed on this one!

On the flip is a bonus cut, another 'cover' of the same track, but this time the breaks, rolling sub and conceptual rave domination are stripped away, creating a skeletal dub version. The icy 808 drums lets the Frankie's sweet melody breathe until a nasty squarewave bass cuts the track in half.

Although drum & bass evolved from existing only really on dancefloors and into living and lounge rooms long ago, quality listening music with longevity and dancefloor cabability at the same time is almost impossible to find. Thankfully, there are a select few who still consider production a kraft, not commodity, and the making of music a passion that brings pleasure, not as werk. United by this ethos and a love for analogue electronic sounds, genuine artisans TRIAD spent 2012 ensconced in the studio further shaping the essence of the sonic visions they'd already shared with the world into one solid statement of intangible intent - an aural essay in long play format entitled UTOPIA.

"The third release on Trendkill Records sees Prolix teaming up with DLR and Silent Witness, both fresh from their highly successful
album releases, to deliver 2 heavyweight collaborations. With radio support from Friction, Hype, and Crissy Criss."

Following on from their 'Arc EP' released in April, Lakker return to Blueprint with 'Torann EP' featuring five new cuts from this Dublin based duo.

Dara Smith and Ian McDonnell (aka Eomac) formed Lakker back in 2001, with early tracks appearing on compilations for various labels, alongside a number of EPs, followed by their debut album 'Ruido' on Lazybird in 2007, plus more recent excursions on the likes of Killekill and Love Love Records.

With influences ranging from breakcore and jungle to techno and electronica, their sound is just as far-reaching with
organic sample-based productions and synthetic, processed electronic beats.

Lakker's 'Torann EP', their second release for Blueprint, kick-starts with the dappling beats of 'Summer Rains', before
moving onto the more experimental 'Mustard Crying'. 'Ciar' takes us back to the dancefloor with ominous undertones, while 'Static & Amp'
is a simple but effective exercise. Finally the diminutive but meticulous 'One Note' caps the EP off in fine Lakker style.
