liquid drum & bass

two of the most refreshing artists in drum & bass today, villem & mcleod deliver their lp vision on spearhead records. having made waves throughout the scene in recent years with releases on a multitude of labels, their musicality mixed with dance floor flare sets the scene for the debut long player. funky, introspective at times, the album travels across v&m’s sound palette to create a beautifully crafted showcase that cements their status in 2018.
-we wrote the lp over a two year period of dramatic changes for us both, girlfriends, marriages, births, and deaths, it was this that fed back into the album. us trying to navigate our way through life, using that as inspiration to complete a dream we’d always talked about. writing an album is a different challenge than writing singles or an ep, it takes you deeper into how we want our sound to be remembered, more thought of the overall aesthetic, and ultimately more satisfying once we had completed it.- villem & mcleod 2018

we’re happy to announce the next ep on methxx by villem (mute) & phase. villem and phase have brought some guests along for the ride in vocalist steo and mcleod. the ep is an accomplished piece of work, it’s a great partnership between villem and phase and we’re happy to be putting it out.

horizons music have time and time again upheld their ethos. this is something which is becoming abundantly clear with each release. their mission statement is to deliver only the best, most versatile and dynamic pieces of static artwork and to ensure they line the sets of artists from every dj type. it’s impossible not to become entrenched within their discography, every part of it as spectacularly moulded as the next. and it’s the artists they hand pick for their roster which makes their music so especially perfect for late night rendezvous on the dancefloor. villem & mcleod, two artists whose synergy is apparent from each release they’ve put out together. it’s an energy which is about to take the helm once again, throughout the next three tracks horizons music will further lodge itself within your musical subconscious.

continuing on their stellar run of form sees villem & mcleod drop another release of top drawer drum & bass. aint no way is pure dance floor goodness. rolling drums, deep bassline stabs & vocal snippets all wrapped up perfectly. make tomorrow features the boys alongside friend totem delivering a blissful, summery roller to please anyone. twinkles of piano, female coos, distant horns shimmering along steppy drums. saved you is a digital exclusive & sees the men going more for a head down, minimal affair. something for everything on this one!

a legendary duo who need no introduction. total science make their debut on warm communications in fantastic style. so addicted sees the group bring on vocalist grimm with a powerful, uplifting piece of d&b beauty. one the flip total science have remixed the jungle/ half time affair originally brought to you by bristols villem & mcleod. a unique jungle stomper executed to perfection.

for its new vinyl release, im:ltd is proud to bring you another of the most exciting drum & bass producer around : villem.

our second release of 2014 comes by way of villem & mcleod. both have seen successsolo & collaborative on numerous labels such as samurai, metalheadz, cia & symmetry to name a few. we are proud to have them on board with these 2 quality pieces of music!

it is team time again as we issue yet another huge collaborative effort from some of the scenes most accomplished producers and biggest names. dis070 draws together the collective powerhouse force of dlr, hydro, villem, fields, mako and linden over two tracks to provide an outing of gigantic proportion, individually each producer within their own right is more than capable of delivering the goods in solo work mode, so imagine the results you would get from locking them all up in a dark studio room together for hours on end to channel their combined genius! well the result of that scenario is right here and is everything and more you may expect it to be.

villem & mcleod return to samurai red seal for another outing to follow their successful pairing on hush for the label in 2012 which was part of one of the labels biggest 12&#8243,,,s ever. this time both sides of the record are collaborative pieces and both tunes are overflowing with glistening summer vibrations. another star has been heavily supported by the likes of marcus intalex (who debuted it on his soul:ution radio show), london elektricity, and of course friction who has been hammering the tune on his bbc radio 1 show, as well as picking it up for inclusion on his forthcoming fabriclive cd. keeper of the sun continues the theme with every element honed to perfection, a tune that transports you smiling into the sunset. further dj support already in from hype, spectrasoul, nu tone, die, bryan g, kasra, tokyo prose, hybrid minds & more to come..

already having success releasing on some of modern days most seminal labels, we are very happy tohave mako part of the label. hailing from bristol uk, mako brings a very raw and energetic spirit to his production. whatever whatever co written with good friends villem & fields is a razor sharp roller capturing that bristol, jungle vibe perfectly. i used to be like you is makos first solo release. a cinematic, tribal, half time affair complete with steppy drums and growling bass.

founded only 3 years ago by mako, the utopia music imprint has already made a positive impact on the drum & bass scene with a stable of innovative producers. next up on the release schedule is a massive tenth release in the form of utopia 10.the a-side sees a mighty collaboration between label owner mako, break, fields and villem. with all these guys on the track, you know the bar is set high. dont let the chilled beginnings of dilligence lure you into a false sense of security because you will soon be smacked around the head with a bassline that is verging on psychotic and beats ready to bring down anything that stands in the way. on the flip side, russian producer getz carries on where they left off with the rolling, relentless basslines of my soul. i love how the vocal samples lend a feeling of despair to the music.

med school hits release number 30 and proves it is still young at heart by introducing a fresh new artist to the roster. villem is a rising talent who specialises in bringing funk, soul and feel-good retro vibes to the deeper end of drum & bass. having already racked up releases on samurai, symmetry and ingredients, villem now brings his unique sound to med school.
with support from everyone including ulterior motive, flight, dj die, tc, nu:tone, fracture, foreign concept, total science, a sides, bop and many more, villem is a name you can expect to see a lot more of in the future. his “shimmer” ep is a collection of stylishly crafted tracks that encapsulate the med school ethos of innovative and progressive music, which the label has been championing for the past six years.

villem has quietly crept up on the d&b scene. the bristol based producer has had releases on ingredients, breaks symmetry & more recently on samurai recordings. his positive attitude to the dance floor comes through without the need to become too cliched. >spring back< is very original, with its use of the payback synth and jazz horns, but then switching to a big dance floor roll out. while >acouphenes< has a real funky rhythm and is a great break work out. this talented producer is in for a promising career.

transparent dark green vinyl pressing. another new name for samurai for 2012, villems solar plexus has been a favourite for many djs. following his massive release fro breaks symmetry recordings and many more to come, solar plexus stamps a unique mark on drum and bass

after the critically acclaimed release of >slow down vip<, break quickly returns with symmetrys 8th release. on the a-side, break leads the way, stripping it back with >something new<. this track is a definite head-nodder that retains the classic break heavy -bass manipulation! villem aka andrew wilson heads up the highly anticipated flip side with >do you wanna, i wanna<. also a key member to utopia music, villem has dj support from the likes of ltj bukem, doc scott, bailey, martyn and many more. he is a man of many talents and is also one half of production duo mute, who are often seen collaborating with rapidly rising bristol producer mako. this fantastic aa side completely captures the symmetry vibe with a quintessentially liquid piano and vocal combination moving into some untouchable percussion. with growing dj support across the board, villem is definitely a name to look out for this year.

part 3 of the album brings some serious dancefloor action. trexs >bad reaction< is a smasher! reminiscent of oldskool dj hype & twisted individual, this is great jungle music. grooveriders rewind track 2 weeks in a row on radio one, keep an eye on this guy. villem is one half of mute (mute & mako) and has forthcoming releases on symmetry to boot. >splinter in your mind< is one of the labels favourites, great rolling drums, super low sub rolls & excellent production, yet another banger in the series!
dj support comes from hazard, lee, total science, grooverider, marcus intalex & more.

utopias new boy villem drops two slices of ice cold beats in the fourth installment of future funk. the a side is >provide<. with dischord jazz influences married with diamond cut beats and swathes of sub-bass, this tune combines a minimal approach with deep impact. a tingly second drop will keep you listening. the flip side is >red matter<, a future black stepper, which brings a sense of menace without forgetting the all-important funk. sci-fi effects and a cleverly edited breakdown ensure this 12&#8243,, will deliver on both sides.
dj support: ltj bukem, doc scott, makoto, bailey, loxy, total science, break, spectrasoul, dj lee, flight, survival and many distinguished others.
press support so far includes a doa mix/interview available from the 21st march to view online and a knowledge mag interview. watch out for more utopia releases from break, mute and mako, survival, mikal, spinline, andyskopes and fields.

future retro have selected four of the finest future thinking drum & bass artists that are around right now to bring us the “future sounds ep”. villem & mcleod kick things off with the deep rolling vibe of “burners”. next up the super soulful duo roygreen & protone are joined by robbe to bring us jazz infused “arbitrary”. macca goes solo and effortlessly rolls out the hands in the air most uplifting “what you need”, which is exactly what you do need on a great night out. rounding off the ep nicely, phase delves deep into his subconsious and gives us a little glimpse of what goes on in a produers mind with “subconsious thinking”.

cia records is an imprint who has remained at the centre of drum & basses history, with esteemed producers total science creating it during the genre’s formative years in 1997. the forthcoming ep on cia, field’s ‘intention dub’, highlights the eclectic mix of artists who have joined the roster since its first release. featuring a variety of collaborative producers, the six-track ep exemplifies the talented intricacies of fields and his masterful song compositions. the names that run alongside fields stand out within their own right, with underground stalwarts mako, and mcleod, roller top dog break, frequent partner villem (who go under their pseudonym mute) and forren, who also makes an appearance. as a collective, they represent many of the artists who helped cia build their impressive back catalogue.

a natural homecoming for one of our favourite artists, we are proud to present the second album from zero t on dispatch recordings, little pieces .
neatly forming over the past year, little pieces marries all aspects of the irishman s diverse, accomplished sound, progressing from the elegant piano foray fortune favours to amen strewn tech stepper dying breed , filling all the gaps in between.
collaborations with beta 2 & villem are backed by vocal features from drs, stamina and steo, whose lyrics provided the album s core inspiration on the stunning title track, supported by friction (on bbc radio 1) and dj hype (kiss fm). following his acclaimed 2015 album golden section, zero t continues his thematic, visual imagery, the album artwork reflecting the mosaic of his influences from over the years, carefully reconstructed into a cohesive body of work.
a true demonstration of his artistry, zero t encapsulates everything we love about this genre in little pieces .
