FORMANT RECORDINGS PRESENTS FRMNT007-XI-LIGHT FM/GLASS

Formant continues to scour the globe looking for the freshest dubs available, and the fruits of its latest search can be heard in ‘Light FM/Glass’ from Toronto’s XI.

Increasingly busy for his production prowess, XI pulls a listener in to ‘Light Fm’ with shimmering synths and smooth pads before giving way to jittering kicks and a heavily swung rhythm. Bukem style subs join the party and keep pushing the vibe forward with a relentlessly undulating bassline.

Meanwhile ‘Glass’ on the flip wanders down a dark alley in Berlin thanks to its filtered, glitch rhythm intro and heavy kicks. Skittering percussion rounds out the beat just before a truly decimating sub stomps in, oppressing and lifting the tune at the same time.
OUT JAN 2010

Both ‘Light Fm’ and ‘Glass’ are guaranteed to keep a floor guessing, and rocking.

Redlight - Badboy Crab Meat Mix (FACT exclusive)

Redlight might be a new name on most listeners' radars, but he's actually been producing for over a decade as Clipz, on drum and bass labels like Full Cycle and Audio Zoo.
His work as Redlight sees him slow the pace down to dubstep, and all his experience comes through on tracks like 'Kid Soldier' - blood red, percussive club jams tinged with electro and dripping in disorientating vibrancy. With top DJs like Toddla T, Shortstuff, Jackmaster and more playing Redlight's material, you can expect to hear a lot more from him in 2010.
His mix for FACT features ten of his own productions, and features vocal turns from Serocee, Jammer and more.


Redlight & Dynamite - Weepers
Redlight - Kid Soldiers
Redlight - Champion Style
Redlight Feat Serocee, Dread & Omi - Stay With You (Dubplate Mix)
Redlight - Rock Bottom

HEAVY DRUM & BASS : FRIDAY OCTOBER 23rd : GUEST DJ SOL.ID : NEW VENUE!!!

ARTISTS TO WATCH: OCTAPUSH

From Portugal come 2 brothers who twist the sounds of Garage and Electronic music to some who call it Karnival Bass. With a grip of releases out and forthcoming releases on Soul Jazz and Iberian Records this duo is dropping some "Bashment" for the heads out there. Check out their forthcoming release on Iberian Records. One not to be missed!

NIGHTAUDIO 002 OUT NOW!

The spirit of '94 is stoked with the fires of dubstep rave and darker garage on the second release from the Night Audio imprint featuring a heavy remix from Sully. Submerse's '94' locks into that post-Burial groove of moody synths and clipped garage rhythms, while Sully adds some jittery Todd Edwards flavour and flips it into an altogether happier beast. Sines' 'Memories Are Here' reminds of SYNKRO's sharpened 2-step patterns with similarly angsty atmospherics, while Littlefoot & Dawntreader's 'Dreamin' Of U' is a tidy 2-step ditty and KingThing's 'Basement Jazz' offers something a little more complex with twisted synthlines and a more abstract flow influenced by tech-step D'n'B. For all 'step crew.

SOUL MOTIVE 005-HYETAL-NEON SPEECH/GOLD OR SOUL

OUT NEXT WEEK

Side 1 Hyetal – “Neon Speech”

Side 2 Hyetal - “Gold or Soul”


Few people can incorporate colour and vibrant energy into music like Hyetal.
With a stream of releases coming out over the last month from Planet Mu and Reduction Records, we are pleased to present Hyetal’s best work to date.

Hyetal – Neon Speech

Reverberating into life with a thunderous sub kick and glistening percussion, Neon Speech is a strong testament to Hyetal's incredible development in the last year as an artist to watch. Intricate melodies infused in to a system-shattering low end, it's a beautiful future shock of a tune. Music at it's finest, regardless of genre. An essential track and one that will never leave the box.

Hyetal – Gold or Soul

Already well known to listeners of Mary Anne Hobbs, Gold Or Soul has a haunting, plaintive quality that is cast in that strange alchemy only Hyetal can conjure up - melodic, yet ruthlessly brutal on bassbins. You won't feel the sub-bass snapping your ribcage in half because you'll be too busy overloading your synapses with the beautiful synth patterns and pads. Anesthesia for the soul.

All vinyl purchasers will be provided with the mastered MP3's free of charge.-SOUL MOTIVE-

CRAZYLEGS 004.1: mixed by SCRATCHA DVA

Following on from mind-blowing mix sessions earlier this year by Smutlee, Grievous Angel and Shortstuff, the Crazylegs mixtape series is about to return in full effect - perfectly in sync with the buildup to our first birthday party!

Except this time we're doing it a little differently. Crazylegs 004 isn't just one mix, it's FIVE mixes - each comprising roughly 30 minutes of the sickest underground bass music, each mixed by an artist from the amazing birthday party lineup, and all to be released in quick succession in the buildup to the event itself!

First up, a man that needs little introduction. Traditionally one of grime's elite producers, the brilliant host of Rinse.fm's controversial breakfast show and newest signing to Kode 9's dubstep flagship label Hyperdub - we bring to you half an hour of the hardest, most twisted UK funky (some might call it "funkstep") from man like SCRATCHA DVA.

At Scratcha's request, we can't publish the tracklist for this mix, but rest assured it is SICK. Tracks from Proxy and Major Lazer jump out as a real indicator where his sound is going at the moment - cold, mechanical beats and distorted bass stabs expertly blended together with deeper UK sounds to satisfy house heads and bass fiends alike. This is something very different, and very special.

MUTANT FUNK on XLR8R

"This 'funky' thing, it'll be over in a minute. You can only say something is new once." If anyone has witnessed a genre come and go, it's Geeneus. The 30-year-old boss of London’s most influential pirate radio station, Rinse FM, Geeneus started broadcasting 15 years ago with guys like Wiley and Slimzee. They played strictly jungle back then; however, Geeneus is a self-professed “new thing addict” these days. He’s seen the arc of U.K. urban music burn through jungle, garage, and grime.

“The funky thing came about because girls had stopped dancing in clubs—[grime] was more of a show thing,” says Geeneus. “So people could just dance again, you know? It was 70% females. And now it's gone the completely opposite way again.”

Already, in less than a year and half, the style that's become known as U.K. funky has been banned, un-banned, and re-banned in countless South London clubs. Three generations of producers and DJs have effectively come and gone. And as the music crests toward perhaps a final stage, funky has splintered into a mutant, experimental phase via producers like Cooly G and Roska—right as the rest of the world has only just heard about it.

Phaeleh - Symbiosis Podcast

Phaeleh (pronounced “fella”) hits us with an urgent, attention grabbing, mix this week. His distinct sound fuses the dark and heavy sounds of Dubstep and Drum and Bass with the melodies and soundscapes of Electronica, all sealed together with the subtle textures of acousmatic music. But he doesn’t want you to think about that whilst you dance.. This mix is from the heart and was recorded after a long night out, straight to disk!



Phaeleh’s diverse range of influences gives him an equally diverse musical output which can range from disturbing bass lines and heavy Dubstep/Jungle beats, perfect for the rave, to the more soulful, restrained tracks incorporating a variety of sound sources and vocal styles.



In 2008 he started Urban Scrumping Records and continues to gig regularly across the UK and Europe…

FACT mix 83: El-B

As one half of Groove Chronicles with Noodles, and then with his Ghost crew, El-B brought giddy low end pressure and sharp, Photek style editing to the skippy, viscous rhythms of UK garage, unwittingly laying the foundations for dubstep in the process. Tracks like 'Stone Cold', 'Serious' and his remix of Zed Bias's 'Neighborhood' have become touchstones for fans of 2step, grime, funky house and beyond - revered by modern producers like Burial. For evidence, check Tempa's Roots of El-B compilation, compiled by Rinse DJ and all around bass blogger Martin 'Blackdown' Clark.



His FACT mix consists of his headline set from our last party. He's solo for the most part, then he's joined by his former partner in Groove Chronicles, Noodles, for the last quarter of an hour - and the first time the two have DJed back to back at a club for what, a decade? Tracks from Hard House Banton, MJ Cole and more feature alongside new dubs from El-B's Ghost label, and yes, it does feature 'Stone Cold'. Without wanting to sound too much like fannies, this mix is a little bit of history. It's not too often you can say that about something you can download in twenty minutes. MCing by Raw Smilez.

LABELS TO WATCH-BLUNTED ROBOTS

photo by:Steve Braiden
With a slew of releases between the 3 of them,this trio of fellas has been making
waves in the dubstep/uk funky/garage scene. Tunes on labels such as Planet Mu,Pollen,Ramp,Apple Pips,Berkane Sol,Formant and of course their own label Blunted Robots. There is really no defining name to fit the genre of their music. Its a cross between garage,uk funky and dubstep. Watch out for this label and the future music that comes with it.

FRMNT006 REVIEW BY SONIC ROUTER BLOG

Following on perfectly from the Texan label Formant’s last 12” platter from the much discussed Hyetal, Shortstuff, known to the copywriting world as Richard Attley, hits out at the market with his second solo 12” after the superlative ‘A Rustling’ b/w ‘Stuff’ offering on Ramp Recordings.

This three track single manages to take his broken tech infused, nearly funky sound into deeper territory; the opener ‘Progression’ jitters into life with its punctuated echoes and soulful, hot buttered bleeps contrasting the computerised bass warbling until the broken groove Shortstuff is fast making a trademark hits. Taking the garage template and twisting it into new shapes he ebbs up the drone synths, adding familiar chimes and time stretched percussion before the saw waves finally erupt.

With a synth lead reminiscent of early Planet Mu or even some of the more Boards of Canada-esque Warp releases, ‘Relapse’ displays perfectly how to create tension through melody as Attley gears up to his first breakdown with rolling chord stabs and persistent percussion; the kind that absolutely drives the whole rest of the song when it re-appears after it makes way for the low end riff.

‘A,’ the longest track on offer here, again fuses Attley’s penchant for snatches of melody with thick, sweetly compressed kick drums with the kind of wandering bass you’d more likely find accompanying 170bpm drums. Its sawing pierces your belly at high volume and really does leave the lead synths and the high end of the drums completely alone, letting them flitter and twinkle respectively showing a deeper and somewhat more subtle side to Shortstuff.

HEAVY DNB 1 YR ANNIVERSARY W/KLUTE AND SINES

Houston's one & only drum & bass monthly is turning a year old and doing it BIG!

$5 before 11pm w/ Facebook RSVP
$5 before 11pm w/ Facebook RSVP
$5 before 11pm w/ Facebook RSV

For one very special night only...

We're taking over a dope new venue, setting up a downstairs second area hosted by our GRITSY brothers in bass & last but not least... invited a very special guest from LONDON, UK to set the candles on the cake on FIRE!!!!

KLUTE!

Klute is the primary recording alias of Tom Withers, the respected drum and bass and techno Producer and DJ from London, UK.

In 2001 he established the label Commercial Suicide. This label received widespread acclaim in the electronic music community. The track "Time 4 Change" from "No One's Listening Anymore" was the last tune played on-air by John Peel.

Commercial Suicidel has also released tracks from artists like Amit, Break, Digital, Spirit, Calibre, Hive, SKC and Chris Su, establishing itself as one of the bigger players in drum and bass.

Klute's style of drum and bass is strongly influenced by techno. It is deep and progressive, with flavours of house, dub and trance, and frequent use of vocals. Although Klute is one of the most melodic and musical producers in drum and bass, his tracks are still typically intended for the DJ and dancefloor. They should not be classified alongside the atmospheric or "intelligent" drum and bass popularised by LTJ Bukem, nor should they be considered to be liquid funk

FRMNT006 Review

By The Kind Fellas @ Boomkat

Formant Recordings make their smartest move to date with a crackin' 12" from Brackles cohort, Shortstuff. His recent 12" on Ramp is one to keep an ear out for, but this record swings in favour of a more meditative and feminine feel, espeically on the brilliant A-side 'Progression'. It's one of those "what do you call it?" moments with the rhythm, sitting on the periphery of garage, dubstep and UKF but doing it's own thing in fine style, while a brittle but lilting synth melody dances over the top, leading to thoughtful pads floating out to the end, like Pearson Sound meets D1 maybe? On the flip 'Relapse' tucks into a tight Garage roll with crafty sequencing, and 'A' flows out on an ace Zomby styled tip. Wicked 12" for any fans of Zomby or Pearson sound then!
