Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

Fresh from the Chronic lab, this 12'' is the sampler from the long awaited Big Bad and Heavy Part Two. Chronic has been running for fourteen years now and they just keep bringing out absolute bangers, and both these tracks will knock you out with the weighty bass. Oh and this is just the sampler, so watch out.

DC Breaks continue to rule the remix roost as Rough Trade invite them back for another pop at one of the UK's best new talents, Rox. Employing a twisting LFO akin to Chase & Status' 'Take Me Away', the boys craft yet another dancefloor monster from the ground up. Rox' vocals sit perfectly over the top of an energetic backbone that will undoubtedly hit the spot if you're a fan of radio friendly drum & bass. For those of you who are still snapping up vinyl, Rough Trade have teamed up with Intrinsic Recordings to release both this, and the DC Breaks remix of 'No Going Back' on a single 12''. There'll be no going back once you've picked up this baby.

Motion Sensor are back on top form with this release, Northern Lights do the honours and remix Sensa and Spekky's banger 'Comedown'. This is jump up that rips right through you making you dance like an absolute loon. On the flip 'DJ Complex' slaps you round the chops with this slice of wobble and if you have any sense you'll be ordering this straight away!

Nestled within what old-world Englishmen would call The Antipodes, New Zealand is truly an exceptional place. Taking huge pride in their native musicians, radio stations are bound by law to give over a fixed percentage of airtime to New Zealand artists. This results in a rather special situation for independent dance music producers, such as Auckland raised Matthew Harvey, a.k.a. Concord Dawn. With a level playing field underground genres like drum & bass have thrived in New Zealand, with producers being lumped in alongside traditional pop stars and rock bands. It's no overstatement to say that Concord Dawn is an institution in NZ, proven by the presales for 'The Enemy Within' on iTunes New Zealand which saw the album slot in at a rather healthy #2 just between Shihad (NZ's biggest rock band) and Maroon 5. Featuring a selection of guest appearances, from fellow NZ D&B dons Bulletproof and Cern, to '80s pop star Rikki Morris 'The Enemy Within' provides a rich tapestry of tastes and flavours across the drum & bass spectrum that will prove to be just as popular on the world stage as it is at home.

CD 1 is un-mixed and features all the album tracks. CD 2 is mixed and features all the album tracks plus extra tracks in the mix. 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' (included 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. Over the last 10 years Universal Project are responsible for hits such as 'Vessel' on the Virus imprint, 'Haunted Dreams' on their own label Universal Project and an EP on DJ Hype's True Playaz, as well as 'Streetilfe' with DJ Friction for Advanced Recordings and many Renegade Hardware smashers such as 'Danger Chamber', 'Comin' Thru' and the Black Techno EP. The Universal Project sound is B-Boy breaks with techno elements and dubwise bass, and everything in between. Vicious Circle broke through in 2005 with their monster remix of Universal Project's 'Jackhammer' and have been destroying dancefloors ever since with their unique sound. Releases such as 'Between the Lines' and the 'Welcome to Shanktown' EP on Renegade Hardware pushed them to the forefront of the tech dnb scene. Subsequent releases on Digital Soundboy, Critical and Quarantine displayed a diverse style that has helped establish them as heavy hitters across the board whilst collaborations with high profile artists such as Chase & Status, Dom & Roland, Fierce and most recently Jubei clearly demonstrate the respect they command from their peers. After spending a lot of time in the studio together Vice and Ruxspin decided to create a new guise for their own brand of rolling future funk. Siren is the result. Both artists in their own right have toured the world from the farthest reaches of Europe to the United States and Asia, consistently destroying dancefloors and gaining a reputation as masters of their craft. The aim of this duo is to cover all styles within the scene and not be constrained by subgenres, whilst still maintaining a dancefloor ethos which is true to their UK roots.

Critical Music's Modulations offshoot signs out of 2010 with its fourth instalment coming from the young Dutch upstart, Nymfo. Having released on labels such as Ram, Sgn:Ltd, 31, Frequency and Renegade,Nymfo's talent is becoming all the more noticeable as one to watch for the future. Certainly one of his most solid pieces of work to date, this Modulations release doesn't hold back with pure vibes from start to finish. 'Try To Forget' is exactly what you won't want to do on hearing this gorgeous slice of D&B. Enjoy as a muted intro of hand claps, soft pads, tinkling fx and smooth vocal washes drift in as a creeping bassline seeps into the mix from the depths, enveloping the listener. An awesome, mesmerising journey ensues with sparse but oh so effective arrangement with the bass riff carrying the mood throughout whilst layers of atmospherics drip over the top to carry us away on what's possibly the best Modulation yet! As we continue with the clunking clockwork sounds of 'Autonomous Robot', rolling in exactly as the name would suggest with tick-tock percussion and a gnarly mid-range bass lick that carries into the rough-riding drop. Then it's away on a head nodding, foot stomping trip as cool drum splash edits serve to keep things moving on nicely. A fierce little runner to get the darker dance floors bouncing with ease. DJ support from Fabio, Doc Scott, Icicle, Klute, Kasra, Ulterior Motive and more.

For the next release on Cutterz Choice, Rhythm Beater steps up again with a slice of lashing jump up. 'Tactical Nuke' gets it's inspiration from Call Of Duty and it goes down like a treat. On flip DJ Manga does what he does best and slaps you in the face with some heavy heavy bass.

Position Chrome is proud to announce PC078, another killer 12~ release from UK's 'The Sect'. A. 'Everything Is Waves' is a driving two headed monster of a tune that destroys everything on its path waging rave destruction on the dancefloor. B. With 'Exibit A', the Sect shows us a deeper, edgier side of their sound but make no mistake, the jury has spoken and this tune is hard as f@c#. das ist der shit!!! that's the scheisse!!!!

Tony Anthem and Axl Ender's Life took the dubstep world by storm earlier this year when it dropped on Rat Records' sister label, Sludge. Now this full-~~-on club anthem is back with a fresh package of remixes for all types of dancefloor. First up, Specimen A make with a remix that's full of driving, street-~~-smart booty flavour, making full use of Darry Dee and Skibadee's firing vocals from the original, but adding some serious breakbeat attitude. Watch how the drums switch up for the second half-this is next level business. There's also a radio edit thrown into the package for good measure. Next, London producer Erb & Dub takes things in a drum and bass direction, feeding breakneck drums, wobble bass and searing synths into the mix for a rapturous end-~~-of-~~- night floor filler. Finally, Florida badman Dustin Hulton takes things into full-on euphoria with sublime synth work andepic keys, before hitting us with the bass nfor maximum impact in the club. This is a genuinely world class remix package of one of the standout tracks of the year, in any genre. Whatever your flavour, make sure it's part of your life.
