Data (15) - Doors Of Perception / Leaves - 26-Sep-09 08:33 AM
Datas view of dubstep is so deep that youll not come back from it.
Theres a smart way of combine trancy pads and deep dubstep beats on "Doors of perception", and when you flip it youve got a more deeper track, "Leaves", wich use a repeating synth line and a more-than-sub bassline.
One other step into the darker space and twisted mind of this english producer whos becoming the living proof of the english knowledge : "less is more" !

Commix - FabricLive.44 - 28-Jul-09 09:45 AM
Fabriclive 44 by Commix, or how to put dnb borders over and over. Keep it cool and steady with a breaked start, make everybody move with a liquid/nu school middle, and finish the all mix with some oldies backed with new tracks, for a general shape wich stick deep into your mind.

Some tracks of this live, like Datas causeway, Logistics murderation or their own justified are, of course, some future anthems, if theirre not some kind of new painted and coloured walls in the old and cold streets of dnb.

Much respect for all the work on this mix and also for the duo. Youd make my ears more opened than ever...

Lynx (7) + Kemo (3) - The Raw Truth - 29-May-09 08:51 AM
This is no a d LP like any other. Meaning that its not a compilation of a specific label sound or a specific named artist style. This is, indeed, the style of Lynx & Kemo, but mostly its a musical progression, a real innovation upon the drumnbass world (so sliced in specific styles today !).

Those two are regardless of what the stars or the public may think about their music. They just make it, like they feel it, like they want it to sound like, and actually I think that theres no other drum artists who create something so deep, so spacy and so hudge as their world and their songs.

Teebee said : "This is a landmark in drumnbass history". Agree, but not only in drum history, but also in music history. Their are timeless songs in this LP, tracks that well play newt year, and the year after, and the year after...

Id falled in love with this sound, and really I didnt known that much others Lynx tracks before (expected the classical "Disco dodo").

A must have...

Neosignal - 19-Apr-09 06:17 AM
One of the best idea of last year is for Phace & Misanthrop to create this label.
Phace was already known in the drumnbass world for create new sounds and new feelings upon the classical ways. Neosignal is the logical following of what they did (like Misanthrop too), meaning that thoses 3 releases allready put bass and neuro borders far away from what we eard before.
The thing to know is that they did the 01 with old songs wich was never released before, like "Cold champagne" (in their computer since nearly 4 years).
Being a big fan of neuro, ill follow the evolution of this label, because with only 3 releases they allready are creating a particular, smart and well-working sound, without the too much asked questions of producers (suchlike if its gonna sell, if they have to do dubstep...) For understanding that, just listen to the "Dark clouds" of Misanthrop, or the coming "Mammoth" of the two bosses of Neosignal (the b-side too, "Sore point" with Noisia)

Theres a message in the back of thoses songs : simple and well-cutted music is much more efficient than putting basses upon basses upon basses upon a clear and too much eard snare.

This is not a commercial way, but a musical philosophy. And theres one and only thing to say : thanks !

Commix - 07-Apr-09 05:50 AM
Commix is between the roots and the future, a smart combination of old sounds and future beats.
Some touch of dub music in "Bear music", some touch of dancefloor dnb in "Satellite type 2", you can find almost everything in their music.
The recent work of this band, suchlike "Rack-it", "Underwater scene" or the coming "Justified" put the soul of Commix tracks far away from the classical rollers like "Roots train" or "Midas touch", meaning that they create something else with dnb, something more close to a simplist look of music, much based on rolled beats and deep shapes. I really like what they do now, because they create something new in drumnbass, and this is always usefull for any kind of music.

Those two are a prolific and a must whatch pair, theyd an important place back then, and theyll keep it, Im shure of it.
