Having tested the limits of d&b over the past few years alongside partner in crime DLR, culminating in the critically acclaimed Method in the Madness album released last year, Octane is a name inherently connected with experimental, original and immaculately produced music. Recently parting ways as a duo with DLR, he’s set out to carve [...]
Since their first digital releases back in 2009, Parisian d&b label IM:Ltd have been gone from strength to strength, in part due to inspired A&R that’s seen them not just buy up tunes from the genres big players but support up and coming talent. The opening months of twenty thirteen have proved to be business [...]
Parisian d&b artist Naibu has been a firm favourite for a while now. Creating stunning liquid tracks, he’s a true crate digger who utilises the sampling techniques close to our heart while adding beautiful melodies of his own, laid back pads and infections basslines to juxtapose the past and the future. Dusty crates meet space [...]
DJ Premier’s back catalogue is basically unmatched in Hip Hop, working with such a long list of fine pedigree MCs that it would be easier to name the classics he hasn’t been a part of. With a distinctive style that’s infectiously neck snapping and some of the finest drums about, it’s no wonder he’s considered [...]
Young label Flexout Audio have been going from strength to strength with a strong music policy and a willingness to take a gamble on lesser known producers. The latest artist introduced to their roster, for FLXA012, is Italian producer Neve alongside his MC Zubee. Sticking to the dark, sharp style of the Flexout label, their [...]
Despite the pink giraffe that adorns all their releases, the beats that come out of the Diffrnt records camp are anything but cute and rep a hard, dark and punchy sound. Arkaik’s recent Cutting Edge EP, his second on the label, is no exception, taking you through four tracks of stripped back warfare where serrated [...]
Stray, Sabre and Halogenix had all been successfully cutting their paths through the d&b scene for a while before they teamed up in 2012 and took things to a completely different level. The mesmerizing use of Frank Carter III vocals on the soulful liquid roller Oblique recieved massive critical acclaim and, backed up by the [...]
With almost ten years under his belt releasing d&b on some of the scene’s greatest labels, Brazilian producer Bungle has carved out a funky, soulful liquid sound that takes influence from his South American home country while also referencing d&b of the past and being just at home on the much less sun soaked shores [...]
Appearing on two Foreign Beggars tracks back in 2003, Dr. Syntax, with his Banbury upbringing and self proclaimed ‘speccy’ looks, seemed an unlikely candidate to become a known name on the UK Hip Hop scene, until you heard him spit. You can’t help but enjoy his dry humour, sarcastic anecdotes and that element of self [...]
With his track forming the name for IM:Ltd.’s latest release, The Purple Sky Ep, Berlin based Es.tereo is hot property right now. Having grown up in the countryside, influences from the natural world, as well as those from the heavily Techno based Berlin later on, have merged to create his sparse, mellow sound that opens [...]
