London's Loxy and Finland's Resound have always been known for their ragga-tinged, hardhittingsound, where each beat slams through with an untouchable technical precision. The two producers have been combining forces for the last three years - including their 2009 anthem 'Green Destiny / Storyboard' (Digital Soundboy), remixes for Kryptic Minds, additions to Renegade Hardware compilations, last year's 'No Money - Deadly Venom/Driving Force' (Def Recordings), and their contribution to Exit Records' 'Mosaic: Volume One' ('Vertigo') earlier this year. But the duo's long-awaited debut long player marks their first collaboration that has absolutely no boundaries: as experimental and creative as it gets. True to form, as most Exit Records releases go, 'Burning Shadows' sees both producers finding their stride, and treading into surprising new sonic territories from a few different directions. Taking the energy and force of early tech-heavy Drum & Bass, Loxy & Resound bring the genre into a sound that's uniquely their own.

Exit Boss dBridge put it himself: 'I really love how there's the reggae side to Loxy's productions; I thought his sound would really come together as a a whole album, especially with the tech side of Resound. With an album, you've got 72 minutes to fill the space with whatever your heart desires. I just love what Loxy & Resound do, so I told them to write the album that they wanted to make. I feel like I got the best out of them this way.'

A) Cause4Concern - Dead Planet - Veteran tech dnb masters Cause4Concern touch down on Rise Audio for the first time, with the highly anticipated dub plate dance floor smasher 'Dead Panet'. With their unique cutting edge sound and style, Cause4Concern create a drifting eerie ambiance, combined with hypnotic stabs steadily rising and falling throughout the intro. As the tension and anticipation grows, Cause4Concern release one of their classic breaks engaging the listener with it's lively rolling groove. With the huge kick and snare pounding away, the pressure builds further until all elements of the track are racing towards the drop, and after a short drum fill 'Dead Planet' drops into full swing with devastating effect. Cause4Concern let loose with their cutting trademark futuristic synth sounds and drop an absolutely massive bassline capable of shaking any club to it's foundations. The track creatively progresses and morphs with slick fills and edits along the way, keeping things interesting throughout... classic Cause4Concern at their best. Serious.AA) The Sect - Entheogen - The Sect have come with something fresh and unique for their debut outing on Rise Audio. 'Entheogen' is something a bit different from The Sect's usual heavy and techno edged sound.

The pounding bass doesn't let up once 'Entheogen' drops either, the track jumps to attention driven by a huge deep evolving bassine alongside hard and heavy marching drums. An ultra hard kick drum and razor sharp snare keep the groove locked down as The Sect progress the track introducing new sounds and quirky edits.
