their first release together will be out on function records in july 2018.

“ok so this is my 7th album, it doesn’t feel like it but i don’t know what should ... the last dnb album i wrote from the ground up was overflow, so in between i released shelflife 2 a compilation of unreleased tracks, and shine a light my weird departure from everything, with even ifË. i was back on familiar ground, i employed my voice a few times, got emotional, forgot everything and turned the tempo up. i am always looking for the songwriter slant in dnb, to feel the blues in my music is important to me, it is a raw connection i never get tired of looking for. and to sing it means a lot to me. i have tried to cover my own long standing interests in a musical genre that was supposed to have died a long time ago. and so here it is, a collection of tunes i have put together for the purpose of moving some part of you that’s the same part of me.” - calibre 2010

repress of this amazing tune by calibre feat. chimpo!
calibres & chimpos half stepping *start again* original is now unleashed on vinyl backed with brand new jungle style vip remix. teaming up with manchesters chimpo, the pair have created two sound system killers. this one is not for a fassy-hole!

“sometimes life can kick you in the nads”, says dominick martin (aka calibre). “when life does do that, i need to make music like this. with its tones of hope and gospel-level layers of self-recorded vocals. raw, uplifting, soulfull...” even to the most ardent of calibre follower, “grow” sounds like nothing else he’s done before. yet it’s not actually on the album it gave a name to. partly because its ultimately positive veneer (even though it was written in the midst of two toxic relationships - one personal, one with the bottle) doesn’t quite complement the deeper, more contemplative aesthetic of the album. but also because this is the start of a whole new story for calibre...

as the dust begins to settle on one of his most significant and pivotal bodies of work to date - the critically acclaimed techno-focused “grow” released by craig richards on the nothing special - calibre returns to his own label signature for another fathomless lp exploration. laced and spaced with the precision balance of sounds, speeds and styles he’s known for, and predominantly characterised by his own lyrics and vocal textures, “the deep” once again reminds us of calibre’s singular status as an artist whose creations transcend time, tempo and territory. ranging from one of his most in-demand dubs “no one gets you” to poignant yearning introspection of tracks such as “better than me” and the rolling, jazzy broken beat summer serenade “lit”, “the deep” is yet another accomplished, alluring and truly unique pieces of work from one of electronic music’s most consistent and prolific artists.

calibre’s new album “grow” for craig richard’s label the nothing special.
12 tracks pressed over 4 pieces of 12 inch 180 gram vinyl presented in gatefold sleeve.

nice price deal !!! duel calibre are back on form! two tidy breaks monsters from them, been a while since we ve had the last brockout but it seems now they are back with a vengeance!!

signature label boss and drum & bass stalwart calibre is continuing his shelflife series with a new compilation consisting of 11 tracks that as the title would suggest were shelved before. a coherent mix of exotic rollers, atmospheric cuts and euphoric dancefloor anthems is the result. with appearences by dj marky and cleveland watkiss this addition to the shelflife series proves to be a relevant showcase of calibres diversity and of course a celebration of contemporary drum & bass.

fresh liquid drum and bass

superb dnb action

classic unreleased 21 tracks covering drum and bass, house, broken beat & dub productions (from 1997 to 2005) finally make onto 2 x cd. there arent many artists that have a veritable vault of back dated and in demand tracks, but calibre is an exception to the rule.

pressing on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl with a sleeve drawing by craig richards.

next calibre masterpiece!

this one took a little longer than expected. every year for a while i have churned out the collectedconsequently after such a time i required a step back, a quiet pause — to define. -i suppose it is just about the floor, but i have always wanted more. i find it hard to articulate what it means to dedicateif anything means anything at all. sometimes it does, but other nights i am climbing the walls, ssupposing this tempo wasnt a thing. do you think i could sing the same song that you sing?

der nordirische drum & bass-nerd calibre (aka dominick martin) liefert fuer fabric seine erste offizielle mix-cd ab! aktiv in der szene seit 1998 mit releases auf seinem eigenen signature-, u2s quadrophonic- und fabios creative source-label, praesentiert calibre hier die besten tracks aus seinen dj-sets der letzten 10 jahren in einem furiosen mix. dazu dropt er top-tunes von marcus intalex, dbridge, lynx, dj marky, sowie sein eigenes exclusive simple things.

two years after kicking off footprints with >devil inside< print001, the mighty calibre returns to grace zero ts label with this three track ep. this release showcases calibres diverse genius, with two house tracks and one dubby dnb roller. title track >rennaisance< is a smooth jazz/dub deep house affair, complete with trademark calibre horn and vocal snippets. >reach< is a more uptempo, us garage style number. featured on zero t fabriclive052. finally we have the drum and bass end of things covered with >plugs<. from the moment the bristol-esque sub drops it can only be one man. all three tracks are taken from the forthcoming lp >zero t presents footprints volume 1<.

new music and artwork from calibre.

a timeless release from the man calibre - 10 cuts of finest dnb delivered on 5 records. just epic!

with our indian summer holding strong it seems to have spread into camp critical too as the label that has delivered the finest grade d&b since 2002 drops another sumptuous release from the man with the midas touch, calibre. showing off his more experimental self is a release that sits perfect on the critical mantle, sit back and enjoy.

upfront whitelabel release.

greyaudio – new label from soul:rs st files. covering all types of electronic moody music the label will be a home for st files productions with the occasional collabration. 1st release greyareaone featuring the heavyweight >falling down< by s.t. files and calibre backed with solo roller >the void<. currently making the set lists of andy c, marcus intalex, d.bridge, friction, loxy, ulterior motive, tony coleman, flight, & kasra.

the hummer ep is the follow up to the successful judgement day ep by calibre for samurai red seal and has been compiled to represent a cross section of calibres versatile musical styles. the hummer ep is harder edged musically and perhaps more dancefloor focused than his more recent releases, but as always the quality quotient is 100%. from the soaring bass of >hummer<, to the controversial dancefloor groove of >dog shit< and the more traditional soulful mastery of >touch me< and >free my mind<, this ep truly has it all.
support from dj marky, marcus intalex, friction, dbridge, flight, spectrasoul, lenzman, london elektricity, fabio, doc scott, total science and a whole lot more.

calibre returns to v with this follow up timeless 12 inch. he is a accomplished genius of the groove, making the simplest drums full and organic while always holding onto warm tone that always has a devastating effect on the dance floor. with an enviable talent for stringing future elements together despite an absence of any overriding hooks or riffs. this is calibre at his finest another v classic.
dj support : bryan g, fabio (radio 1), bailey (1xtra), d bridge, nu-tone, logistics, marcus intalex, calibre, spectrasoul, artificial intelligence, need for mirrors and many many more.

repress incoming of this 2004 release by calibre & singing fats.

in a coup of epic proportions, new zealand imprint samurai red seal has managed to obtain 4 exclusive tracks from the prolific musical genius that is irelands dominick martin aka calibre. in 2009 the third release on red seal was a 12 inch single from calibre ? >ringtone / jackoff< (redseal003) which was a massive success with djs from around the globe. there was only one thing we could think of to follow that up, and that was twice the amount of music. as calibres legions of followers will attest the man has endless styles and the >judgement day< ep attempts to capture a different approach with each tune.

limited backstock on this 2004 release by calibre.

will be back in stock on friday (21.05.2010)... calibre flexes his dubstep muscles, here making his second outing on mala?s deep medi imprint - the first was a subtle rolling garage-like affair that had all the hallmarks of calibre?s drum & bass sound as well as deep medi?s deepness. the highlight here has to be >tenopause<, where calibres knack for subtle rolling percussive bliss is in full effect. the hi-hats draw you in with their fluid forward motion and when they play off the kicks and that addictive bass line pulses with hypnotic energy before flailing off into open space like its ricocheted off a passing space cruiser, you are deep into eyes down zoned out, head nod, arm shake territory. >discreet dub< is a more spaced out affair, slowing things down to a half step and upping the atmosphere as the bass seduces you into a state of bliss as it shifts amongst the eerie middle eastern melodies. words: james balf http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com

for the first release the pride and joy of irish drum n bass, calibre, steps up with pop. pop is an upfront synth led roller that could be described as techy. not your usual calibre style tune but nevertheless pop has all the depth, soul and production skills that we have come to love and respect from one of irelands greatest exports. on the flipside jet li shows us his musical side with lydias ryme

massive massive massive massive 12 inch from calibre. the likes of danny byrd might be top of the pops but within underground clubs this is the anthem. with its half time dnb tempo & dub groove calibre drops an absolute bass line bomb. drum & bass/dubstep has a contestant for the title of best bassline of the year. giving the subs of sound systems around the worlds a serious workout. steptoe reminds us all drum & bass means drum and bass. one word sums up this track.. skank!

footprints debut 12 inch features label owner zero t and old friend bailey (bbc/metalheadz) combining to devastatin effect. >wasp factory<, as you may have guessed, is not a love song! currently a favorite of everyone from goldie, ed rush and optical, lemonde to paradox and loxy. not for the feint-hearted!
on the flip of this comes a slice of paranoid funk from belfasts mercurial genius calibre, alongside dnb legend st files of soul:r fame! >devil inside< has that familiar signature/soul,r roll to it, but the other elements may surprise a few: dark gliding, filtered reese bases undulate under a piano line to put a chill down your spine ? something different from the norm!
support from hype, fabio, grooverider, bryan g, alix perez, spectrasoul, commix etc.

2006 classic feat georg levin of sonar kollektiv fame!!

ringtone dons the mask and snorkel style and takes you deep into the realms of bass music, while jackoff is a distinct departure from his usual style and has been lighting up dancefloors for all those lucky enough to have advance copies. dj support has been supplied by every person we have passed these tunes onto. it was decided early on to make this release look as beautiful as it sounds with full colour artwork, and pressings on 180 gram vinyl.

calibre a bonafide producer in the classic sense, moving effortlessly through styles. let me hold you finds him playing live drums & singing. loves too tight to mention features the soulful vocals of drs. the deeper side of drum and bass yet never disappoint the dancefloor, dj support from d bridge, marcus intalex, storm, doc scott, presha, rob da bank...

this 12inch captures all that is great about drum and bass: variety, depth, grooves and of course the essential drums and bass! such a well rounded 12 that is not to be missed. you must have it this in your liquid v collection! supported by, bryan g, jj frost, fabio, die, krust, roni size, doc scott, friction, a sides, bailey, mosus, dj hype, storm, calibre, zero t. marcus intalex, dj marky the list is endless.

calibre on deep medi, bringing his signature style, with a 140bpm twist and blend of garage / dub / house / techno. forward thinkers rob da bank, appleblim, mala, benji b, laurent garnier, martyn, marcus intalex, all playing

dark dancefloor vibes from calibre. two drop has been the talk of the forums since someone caught a clip on calibres myspace, and one listen will show you why. classic calibre beats and whistling atmospherics make way for one of the moodiest basslines around. subtle wobble, who knew such a thing was possible? flip over and understand rolls out the percussion for a proper off the beaten track excursion.

celebrating its 10th release, integral records drops the huge calibre remix of zero ts refusal which is already being seen as one of his most prolific works to date. this has been receiving heavy across the board support from fabio, chase & status, ltj bukem, friction through to colin murray, giles peterson and mista jam. calibre is joined by drs on the flip be there with its infectious deep piano hook.
