Beats Vinyl New Releases - News

This is a brand new label from the Have A Break Crew and this time they successfully step into the Dubstep world by getting The Genetic Krew on this 12. The Genetic Krew are the biggest Dubstep producers in Germany and they bring the 140bpm pressure on this release.

Suicide Dubs sister label 'League of the Shamed' is something that will scare the life out of you! This filthy 12'' comes with two disturbing tunes from label owner 'High Ranking' and one part of the Hench crew 'Wedge'. 'Escape from the Hood' is soul destroying experience, with the calm before the storm this one drops hard! With its big tearing bass and crazy drum edits this one is gonna hit where it hurts! 'Puppet Master' brings a eerie, spooky feel to it, this is Halloween with sub! With its rolling growling bass that sits nicely under a haunting piano riff, this is a must for anyone who likes it dark!

Stillcold Records presents the first chapter in a new white label series re-purposing classic house sounds with a modern bent. Volume 1witnesses Berlin's consistently on-point Lando Kal revisiting a notorious acappella, hanging it on the lushest of synth stabs and cinematic, pulsating drops with develish woodblocks aimed squarely at the darkest of warehouse dancefloors. The B Side reveals the debut of the Stillcold Mystéres project, re-working another, altogether different vocal hook from the house canon. Laid back, fully swagged jacking bottom-end house for the hyper-colour set. With holograms. Strictly limited hand stamped 12" vinyl only, meticulously mastered and cut specifically for needle-to-groove action at D&M, Berlin.

This label has gone from strength to strength over the last year and this is a big releas from Mars and DaVIP. All the big names have been battering this one so check the audio and add it to the basket.

Roksonix are on fire right now and both these tracks have been smashed silly by every DJ worth talking about, most notably Doctor P and Flux Pavilion on their huge debut North American tour!

We love this record; it really puts the Dub in Dubstep. Their first two releases have sold out and this has been doing well on promo which shows there is a real market out there for this style which really goes back to the early beginnings of how Dubstep came about. On the A you're treated to a full vocal mix with Lutan Fyah in the booth and on the flip there is a Dub mix which roles out nicely.

When your debut dubstep track has a clip posted on the UKF Dubstep youtube channel and it racks up over 500,000 plays in 2 weeks, people take notice. For Xilent, this was exactly how his track 'Choose Me' announced itself to the world. 'Choose Me' takes an ethereal vocal and layers over echoes of filtered French disco and euphoric trance washes, and underpins them with the warmth of the first sun at an all night rave. The rhythm track is impeccably produced, with a change before the breakdown to techier bass, cut backs and switches, which make this both a pure simplistic delight on first listen, while simultaneously being intricate to the very last beat. The sound of a new dawn.

Radikal Guru is well known in dubstep scene for his reggae-dubstep mash ups and unique sound influenced by dub originators such as King Tubby, Lee Scratch Perry or Scientist. He gained popularity after releasing a series of vinyl singles on Dubbed Out records (UK) in 2008.Radikal guru is about to drop his first full length album on Moonshine Recordings. The CD will contain 12 original tracks featuring vocalists such as Cian Finn, Brother Culture & Monkey Jhayam.Stay tuned!

Brand new PTN, the prolific Ramp Recordings sub-label prepare their latest line of ammunition in the form of Breach - Fatherless, a Funky/Dubstep/Garage hybrid coming on like a cross between El-B and Roska, this one is receiving heavy support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1), Doc Daneeka, Greenmoney, Pariah, Brackles, West Norwood Cassette Library, Sinden, Oneman...the list goes on...don't sleep on this one!

Consequence adds his name to the Symbol series roster with perhaps the most adventurous of the series yet. Fractured percussive elements, dark overtones, reverbed field recordings all add up for something special in Consequence's very unique style.

Purveyors of maximal minimalism in bass music, Crushington explore the mid-tempo soundworld of dubstep. Inspired to step outside of their box by a face-melting New Years Eve performance from Skream and Benga, for the last two years, Crushington have sonically sculpted their own, well-received take on dubstep. Lacking a developed knowledge of the genre, their unaffected explorations into different tempos and grooves have caught ears everywhere, leading to DJ support from N-Type, Jakes, Emalkay, Distance, Seven, Truth, Bulletproof, Datsick, Excision, Hatcha and Headhunter.Along the way, they've collaborated with, or remixed for Black Sun Empire, SPL, Truth, Optimus Gryme and Bulletproof. With high profile support and collaborations boiling over left right and centre and several boutique vinyl releases to their credit, DJ bookings across New Zealand and Australia have come quickly and to lauded receptions.Old school producers and DJs from the era of vinyl and 'by ear' engineering, their sonic fidelity has seen their Crushington tunes described by the likes of Antiserum as the perfect studio mixdown reference. To put it in simpler terms, Crushington's subwoofer rupturing arrangements are fast becoming a standard setter with in the international dubstep community, where things go next from here though; only time will tell.

Following his release on Naked Lunch, Canadian producer Kevin McPhee returns with his first release on Bristol's Idle Hands label. 'Sleep' gives subtle nods to early Burial tracks whilst showcasing McPhee's individual charm and a contemporary house sound. 'House 44' wears influences from Actress and Herbert on it's sleeve, offering a stripped down swagger that travels to deeper tones and soulful tendencies. Support from Ben UFO on Rinse and Giles Peterson on Radio 1.

Following his inclusion on Hessle Audio's '116 & Rising' compilation, Randomer returns to Raffertie's Super imprint with the four track 'Obtuse' EP, which also marks the label's first outing on vinyl. Otherworldly and tribal, title track 'Obtuse' manoeuvres menacingly with crafted aggression. 'Obtuse VIP' is altogether different, more terrifying and unlike anything else. 'Lost Everything' is both hypnotising and intimidating in equal measure whilst the agitated flow of 'Dope' twists a restless hook with a dark acid-tinged beat. A record awash with the percussive mastery and originality we have come to expect from the London based producer, it marks a welcome return to a rising label that continues to go from strength to strength. Already picking up solid selector support from the likes of 2562, Pangaea, Pariah, Hackman, Boxcutter, Subeena, Mumdance, DFRNT, Ital Tek, Cardopusher, Bun-Zer0, Tomb Crew, Rob Booth (Electronic Explorations), and Oli Marlow (Fabric, Sonic Router, The Quietus).

Cluekid's Bullfrog label returns with this killer 12'. Rolling minimal dubstep with no cheese in sight! Deadly

So, your bowels have just about started functioning properly and the world has finally stopped vibrating after the last bass onslaught from the Sludge camp. It's going to require gonads of steel to whack up the volume on this latest beast, but we know you never lost your hardcore. Nevertheless, as we're a caring bunch at Sludge HQ, we feel obliged to warn in advance that this latest slab of dubstep pressure from Trick or Treat is the sort of big tuna that might leave some needing a job lot of nappies and a year off work to recover.Bad Bwoy Toon does exactly what it says on the tin. Kicking off with old skool style rave stabs and some familiar sampling action, you might be forgiven for thinking that you've take the rave DeLorean for a spin and wound up back in '89. That is, until the drop when the searing bassline kicks in and catapults you back to the future with a sub that has the potential to cause chest implosions from a mile away. Trust us when we tell you that this firing track is going to be turning dance floors into casualty wards across the land throughout the summer. Heavy!Over on the flip of this monster package is Hype Funk. The instantly recognisable intro will prick up your ears and pull you in before skippy beats, chopped up samples and earth shattering bass finish you off. It's the kind of banger that might have even the residents of the local cemetery raving in their coffins. An essential floorfiller this, and a tune that will almost certainly get you laid each and every time you decide to unleash it on the masses.

Its been a long wait but finally 501 returns with yet another bigtime 12inch that will roll out punches even more than Mike Tyson! Fresh off his release from Never Say Die sees 501 twisting it differently this time..

DJ Support: dBridge, Instra:Mental, Data, Zero Method, Vaccine.

With consistent support across Rinse FM tastemakers Manchester's Biome embodies the current Dungeon Dubstep renaissance. Fierce kick drums perforate the monolithic bass vacuum, where distorted space-time is squeezed by gravity shifting synth-work and drama pianos.

Support: Youngsta, Kryptic Minds, N-Type, DJ Madd

[A] a1 | THE FUNKY DEAL

Inofaith searches carefully for his own sound, and takes on the experiment with his debut 12. This EP features the tracks 'Dawn Is Late': a very orchestral, deep piece with a very welcome 2-Step kind of beat. It follows up with 'Girls Go To Bed Early': which illuminates a more synthetic depth of the release. The subtle resonance on the synths brings the track alive. The other side of the record starts with the enchanting, yet uplifting 'Twelve Hours'. You realise you are getting caught in the music when the feminine voice kicks in and lets you drift in circular patterns. The final track is called 'Nocturne': calm as the title may seem, it's the most energetic and glowing track of the EP. Inspired by the atmosphere of dusk on a spring evening, it closes the EP with some cinematic movements. First run pressed on coloured vinyl, limited to 200 copies.

Do a quick Google search for eLan and the Internet will most likely generate results for a female singer from Latin America, a reggae vocalist from LA, an all-male rock band from Slovakia or the alleged pseudo-name used by Brainfeeder artist Tokimonsta. Few results will actually tell you that eLan is also Elan Stouffer, a mysterious but prolific beatmaker currently residing in San Diego.

Genetix are back with an EP that will rattle your chest with bass and make your head explode. I can confirm, this has happened too many of my friends and has got me in a great deal of trouble. 'Beast Mode', my pick of the lot, is a collaboration with Persist and is an absolute assault of disgusting basslines, switches and filthy beats produced at the highest end. Then 'Termination' and 'Stealth' offer up more terrifying, futurist and hard edged Dubstep that is certainly not for anyone with a heart condition. Strictly dance floor bizzle!

Hatcha & Lost deliver the long awaited Albarsha which has been championed by N-Type, Shiverz, Beezy, Walsh and Mistajam. Serious weight on this one with the tribal vibes.

Orphan101 makes his return to the Saigon Recordings imprint and rides the success of his recent 2-tracker on Appleblim's Applepips label. This 3 track EP really serves to showcase the diversity of sounds coming from the Orphan camp, from the 4 to the floor techno stomper that is 'Into You', to the deep meditative low slung 'Baracca' to the down-right abstract 'Typical'. File under BASS!
Karl Moestl (Defusion Records) 'Love It! Will be playing this in the clubs!'
Angel Molina (Sonar / Tresor) 'This is very sinister, love it! The whole record is for me!'
XLR8R 'Incredibly Deep, Incredibly Awesome!'

Spor's most anticipated track to date is being released on May 9th. It's not Drum & Bass, Its not Dubstep, It's not Electro House... It's Spor leading the way in the ever changing progression of dance music. This 12' features the Pacifica Vocal Mix & Kito & Reija's Remix...Pacificaaaaaa.

SWEDEN'S KRAAK & SMAAK WITH ANEW SERIES OF CLUB BANGERS KICKS OFF IN STYLE WITH THIS DOUBLE HEADER.

Biscuit Factory Records returns with its fifth release. A three track EP from Walsh & Kutz which has already caused a stir amongst the scenes most dedicated followers and which encapsulates the full spectrum of the Dubstep sound as it is today.On the A side, Walsh has teamed up with Kutz to produce a massive club anthem, Wanted. With its raw industrial bass lines, moving sirens and constantly evolving mid range drones, it's not hard to see why this track has had support from some of the scenes biggest players.On the flip side, Kutz shows his diversity, with two completely different sounding tracks. G742 is all together a techy and electro sounding track. Along with 4×4 rolling drums and colourful stabbing snares, a heavily distorted, bit crushed synth gives the track a unique sounding swing.The Warning is a much darker affair synonymous with the original dubstep sound. Incorporating a pulsating sub at the heart of the track, a futuristic synth line rides heavy hitting kicks and a whip cracking snare to truly give a glimpse of the future.DJ support from Skream, Benga and Mistajam (BBC Radio One). NType and Chef (Wheel and Deal/ Sub Freq, Rinse FM), Hatcha (Sin City, KISSFM), Subscape (Dub Police), Walsh (Biscuit Factory, Hotflush) and Kutz (W&D, Soul Jazz, Digital Soundboy)

Stillcold Records is a new label from East London, dedicated to releases existing in the physical realm. With its focus squarely on pristine sounding vinyl, Stillcold patrols the shadowy borderlands of house and techno and their many bass-weighted mutations. As continuous explorers of the crossroads in machine music, Stillcold connects the dots between the mongrel rhythms taking shape in cities around the world. It will continue to be an outlet for questing and experimental sounds, which may - or may not - be clandestine signals from known artists exploring the darker realms of classic house and techno. All this on heavy, limited vinyl pressings, cut and mastered at Dubplates And Mastering in Berlin. For those that know. Stillcold's initial offering, three tracks by Lesotho Protokol, is already the subject of much underground debate with its stylish turns of technoid kwaito house, dark funky and boogie-jit. The eponymous 'Lesotho Protokol' uses shades of niche bassline, kwaito, electro and techno to hang colour on an obesely fat bass and skipping snare / hi-hat syncopation. 'You're Mine' rolls out triple-dipped subs and chopped vocals with a funky-tech accent, seemingly custom-built for a Pearson Sound or XXXY set. The final flourish of '2 Fly' is a bright acidic roller exploiting the cracks between footwork, jit and future boogie. Looks as fly as it sounds too. Get familiar, and get that way quick.
