Fifteen years, seven albums and over sixty 12s (without even considering his non d&b alias) since his first release, Calibre remains a rare enigma in drum and bass. Generally shying away from the press, and frankly anything that isn’t directly music, he exists as this mythical soul provider unanimously respected across the dance music scene, [...]
There’s no doubting that Outlook Festival is just a little bit special (you’ve only got to read our 2011 review to see that), but there promo material this year is something else. Going beyond simply advertising the festival, they assembled a team of young videographers and small production crews to each focus on a particular [...]
After running their label nights for a while now, packing out esteemed venues London wide such as Cable, Fabric and The End, Shogun Audio are taking a further plunge into the London clubbing scene, joining other d&b nights such as A Bunch of Cuts in running a warehouse night. Teaming up with the London Warehouse [...]
Marukomu- Visions/Ganymede: Protect Audio’s debut release sees Manchester based new blood Marukomu drop two deep, sinister pieces of d&b for a release that starts the imprint off really strong. Tense, cinematic sounds over sharp hats and rasping mids lead the way for the a side, Visions, while Ganymede is a bit more stripped back, with [...]

It’s a massively anticipated album, and these two tracks give you [...]
Dj Friction’s brainchild, Shogun Audio, is hands down one of the most respected modern d&B labels. They have a continuous stream of forward thinking, high quality and dancefloor destroying d&b, as well as occasionally branching out into dubstep releases (with artists like Icicle bridging the gap). Their Youtube channel not only has decent quality clips [...]
Need for Mirrors- Super Earth Ep: This seems to showcase some of the most creative work I’ve heard yet from the Need for Mirrors duo, consisting of Mosus and HLZ. The heavy sub, glitchy twangs and kinda eastern futuristic melodies of ‘Panoramic Views’ really stand out and grab my ears, while ‘Moving Pictures’ pays homage [...]
