Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Society is a gritty techno D&B smasher with stomping drums, gut disturbing sub bass and a generous dose of acid to top things off. On the flip side - 'Scrawl' is a techstep grindout, sitting upon an eerie soundscape with chunky drums, a disgusting lead riff and humming subline. Both tunes are hitting hard on the dancefloor and this first release from Deviant Nature is a sure sign of big things to come.

DJ Hazard is without a doubt a producer with balls the size of watermelons (figuratively speaking, that is). Not content with crafting some of the biggest dance floor tracks of recent years, he's thrown out the rulebook and put together something rather special for Playaz' latest release. Both 'Tactix' and 'Wicked So' take all the popular elements of dubstep and sling them in with the best bits of drum & bass to make a hybrid mashup of epic half-time proportions! These have both been killing it in the clubs, now it's time to get your own grubby hands on them. Essential!!

Hybris is Evan Vischi. After years of being a studio recluse, Evan surfaced in the DC scene and released collaborations and solo projects under the name Robot Death Squad. He then moved to the Czech Republic to focus on advancing his own sound and began releasing under the name Hybris. Towards the end of 2009 his tunes were spotted and picked up by Kasra, and his debut single was released on Critical: Modulations (The Cleaner/ Raindance) in June of 2010. With several forthcoming releases on C.I.A., Blackout Music, and Critical, and DJ support from some of the scene's heaviest hitters, Evan is now committed to pushing heavy and precise dancefloor beats to the next level. For INVISIBLE, Hybris collaberates succesfully with the mighty NOISIA and drops 3 new solo tracks on this very special double pack vinyl. Great new sounds on the always evolving Invisible imprint.

Samurai Music welcomes one of its' favourite new artists to the family. Amsterdam local
Nymfo has been slaying dancefloors worldwide with his nu funk on labels like 31 Records, Ram, CIA, Renegade Hardware, Shogun,
Inneractive & Critical. The brief was easy for a Samurai Music release, unleash the funk!
'Greetings Starfighter' is easily one of Nymfo's most played and requested tunes. With its nifty rolling groove and distinctive vocal
sample., it is also perhaps one of his most recognisable pieces of music. '8 band' continues to wig out with a pounding b line
reminiscent of Bristol's glory days.
Art for this release was handled by renowned illustrator Gijs Kast, and there are also limited edition T-Shirts of the sleeve art available.
DJ Support on this release from the likes of Klute, Marcus Intalex,
Doc Scott, Eveson, State Of Mind and many more.

Producer, label boss, DJ & remixer extraordinaire, Charles Webster will need no introduction to house music lovers. From his early days working at Square Dance Studios in Nottingham engineering for celebrated labels such as Time and DiY his unquestionable talent has seen him DJ all over the world, remix tracks on labels such as Defected, Buzzin' Fly, Freerange and Dessous and release numerous records under various guises such as Furry Phreaks, DJ Profile and Presence. Under the moniker of Presence he teamed up with Massive Attack vocalist Shara Nelson to create the deep house anthem 'Sense of Danger' which was released on the seminal deep house label Pagan. With Shara's deeply emotive vocal layered over tough beats, metallic synths and soaring strings, this still sounds as fresh and as relevant as it did 12 years ago. This release sees the first drum & bass remix of the series, which we have entrusted in the accomplished hands of Dominick Martin aka Calibre. Anyone familiar with his work or who has heard his most recent album 'Shine A Light' will know he is an artist unconfined to the restraints of the norm, and he displays this by flipping the original vocal on its head to create an alternative chorus to the original, embellished with stirring classical strings and spooky pads.

Liquid V needs no introduction but hey, I'm gonna give you one anyway. Bryan G and Jumping Jack Frost set up this sub label and it quickly rose to the top of the Liquid Funk genre in no time and it's stayed there ever since. Now on there 18th release, Rehab takes the reins and certainly does this iconic label justice.

Pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl. Artwork: Black Reverse Board sleeve, Bronze Pantone logo and text throughout, all sleeve and label information written backwards in keeping with the reverse concept. Cut in inside-out (record plays from centre label out to the edge) on a Scully Lathe. Release: Less a best kept secret, now a fully fledged artist of the moment Rockwell has been steadily building a reputation as one of the more progressive electronic artists around in 2010, with an ear for a different take on how to move dancefloors whilst also showing an adept ability at beat programming that is setting himself apart from his peers. Darkestral finally release one of the most talked about tracks on underground forums (10K plus posts on a DOA) and unleash the bewildering 'Reverse Engineering' - a track solely built from backwards parts, that has been delighting, confounding and confusing dancefloors the world over. Coupled with the polar opposite beauty of 'Everything (& U)', which continues the Darkestral love for contrasting sides on releases, and was recently licensed to FabricLive52, this track marks a stamp of quality on the burgeoning minimalist dnb sound by adding the emotional layer that Darkestral aa sides have become known for.

In 2010 Serial Killaz put out a string of top selling releases and it looks like 2011 is going to be the same. To kick things off is a fresh re-lick of a tune that everyone knows and loves by Collie Buddz. The lads have used their trademark production skills along with the catchy hook to create a dancefloor friendly reggae-roller. Flip it over and 'Jamaican Boy' does much the same. Catchy hooks and bubbling bass lines make this another dancefloor filler.

After years of success in their relative drum and bass production outfits, Siren is a collaboration of Vice from Vicious Circle and Ruxspin from Universal Project. Their debut album, "Broken Silence", forthcoming in November 2010 on their own Siren Records has been doing damage on the DJ circuit for some time now. Tracks such as 'Snorkel' (a edited version of featured on Andy C's Nightlife 5 compilation), 'Gumball Rally', 'Rollers Convention' and 'Broken Silence' have been staples in the sets of everyone from Andy C to DJ Marky to Fabio and Chase and Status, as well as the new breed of artist producers such as S.P.Y, Spor and Jubei.

Ow lordy lordy lord.... Love has been bringing that quality sound from day one and this time around they have outdone themselves. The original rock infused 'Driving Blind' gets the arena/festival retouch with a splash of dnb and a dash of trance. Making this the ultimate weapon for the ladies! This label isn't called Love for nothing you know <3.. Boys get on stepping and get on mingling cause it's time to find that special someone when this one hits!

This is shaping up to be one of our biggest releases, there's a lot of buzz about it at the moment All 4 tracks have
been garnering praise from some of the scenes biggest names inc DJ Lee, Total Science, Lenzman, Rockwell, Data, June Miller,
Anile, Loxy, Lynx, Consequence and SpectraSoul.

With a seat firmly reserved at Drum and Bass's top table, Netsky stamps his distinctive euphoric sound on this chart topping tune which was originally written by Die and Interface earlier this year. On the flip Lenzman applies his trademark sound and hits us with a deep soulful mix. This is a truly unmissable release from this forward thinking label.

DJ Samurai began his career with DJ Kid and his Restless Natives imprint. Since then he has come a long way and is now a fully fledged member of the Ram camp, releasing on their sister label Frequency. Now he makes an entrance onto Futurebounds Viper imprint with the wicked 'Outsider' & 'Stairway'. Watchout for the next release on Viper, the massive Shock One EP.

Logan D's label Lowdown Deep has been at the forefront of jump up drum and bass for years now and he keeps on signing bangers. Logan teams up with good friend Majistrate to craft these two slices for modern day jump up. 2011 is going to be a big year for this label with some really exciting releases planned; word on the street is that award winning DJ Sly has got an EP coming though Lowdown so keep your ears to the ground.

'Champion Deejay' the LP by Top Cat draws to a close with this the last 12" release. Serum makes his second appearance with his version of 'Late Night Kung Fu'. The flip side sees new comers DJ Panik and M-Rode work on 'Friend In Need'. All 12"s are now available, the 5 piece LP is limited so may not be about for much longer.

Futurebound steps up the pressure on his latest Viper Recordings release with a massive G Dub remix of one of the label's biggest hits to date, J Majik & Wickaman's 'Fleshwound', and what an absolute stomper it is too, this is one track that will have the dance moshing like a party of epileptic Goths in a computer games testing lab. Backing it up come BBK's brightest new signing, the Brookes Brothers with a percussive led beauty of a track which combines all of their

Spun presents the neurofunk legends Synthetix & Corrupt Souls!

Heavy, rolling techno vibes on Fall Out's fourth release. On the A side we welcome Meth, ex member of The Sect, who's started to create an impressive career on his own collaborating with artists such as Audio and Raiden and releasing on a host of labels including the massive Subtitles, Renegade Hardware, Offkey and PRSPCT.

Disc 2 (Mixed By Moving Fusion)

With so much good music arriving in the Exit inbox, it was decided that a various artist project was needed to ensure that it all see the light of day and doesn't get caught up in a never ending schedule of singles. As normal with Exit Records, there's no prejudice in the track selection. Well known producers such as Skream, Instra:mental, Scuba and Commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as Indigo, Synkro, Mode and Code 3. The theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dancefloor killer such as System's 'Observation Point' or Loxy & Resound's 'Vertigo' through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of Crom's 'Invisible Cities' or Stray's 'Pushed'. This album truly represents the more experimental side of Drum n Bass, as opposed to the crash bang wallop that seems to be the only side of Drum n Bass portrayed by the mainstream media today. Hopefully this album will manage to reach the people that thought this forward thinking music was left behind in the nineties, to let them know that it's still alive and well, and still capable of throwing up some surprising and unpredictable results.

The 5th release on Amalgam Recordings brings together 2 artists who have previously released on Amalgam. Kitech from Essex is without a doubt one of the hottest artists in the D&B scene. With a few releases under his belt Kitech is going from strength to strength. He's now working with Dylan (Freak Recordings) one of the biggest names in the scene. He's also now part of Anger Management roster and is playing gigs far and wide. Throttler seems to have the cunning knack of being a prolific artist who maintains an extremely high level of production and programming on all his tracks. The level of detail in the programming & the high level of production makes his tracks stand head and shoulders above the rest. Bloody Victory is a immense spine chilling dance floor destroyer. Within the first bars it already has the hairs on the back of your neck standing up. The 4/4 kicks build up into a wall of brutal drums that will be blowing people backwards on the dance floor.
