bringing intelligently dark drum and bass to the masses is a difficult job, but somebodys gotta do it. this time mortem takes demands hot seat to encourage two tracks with the hard-hitting firepower and sub pressure of a depth charge.
as one of drum & bass most reliable sources of prolific high quality, mortem rises above the rest time and again with his unique take on deep, intelligent beats. this release showcases his love for depth, texture and movement but also his capacity for creativity, which comes in droves.

demand records first vinyl release of 2013, pushes together two standout tracks from aspect and gremlinz and newcomer war. producing perhaps their strongest work when collaborating, both aspect and gremlinz attract the attentions of the higher ranks with every release. armshouse does not disappoint, with devastating jungle breaks scarring the surface of a deep, rolling sub. tight and rolling, this is engineered for the dancefloor, the darker and dirtier the better. wars makashi takes those malevolent bassy threats and adds them to the framework of an atmospheric stepper. shaking up the percussion to a blur and adding ambient touches, it is darkly addictive and full of disconcerting space. dj support comes from all across the dj circuit. marcus intalex, lenzman, spectrasoul, marky, bailey, dj die, shy fx and goldie are only a few to mention.

the diverse dutch guys june miller and tempas dubstep signing proxima deliver a slice of tech funk with the track >killswitch engage< already featured on kasras fabriclive mix. >i m sick< from none other then spinlines gamma is another stomper to make this release the best to ever grace vinyl on demand records.

it is no surprise to anyone who heard >the touch< last year that mortem has swiftly become one of drum and bass most wanted new stars. his fresh take on slick, weighty bass and scatty, flickering snares makes a good swathe of the deep, brooding dnb community back up against the wall.

nice price deal !!! vladivostok lad eastcolors is probably most well-known within the dnb community for his mixes and for his collaborations with enei and nuage. as far as modern drum and bass is concerned eastcolors is at the forefront of that techy, fresh sound emanating from eastern europe and russia. with this in mind then, it is clear that while his tunes fuse well with his fellow russian drum and bass cohorts, eastcolors is making a departure from collabs. what better way to celebrate demands tenth release then, with eastcolors settings about placing his name upfront and alone with his first ever solo 12 inch. on the flip >heavy tone< rumbles forth with a typically eastcolors take on what a roller should be. lenzman-esque synths and strange, celestial vocals are quickly worked over by an electrical storm of droning bass and pads. as the synths return to break up the clouds here and there, >heavy tone< loses the idea of becoming another lost bass-heavy roller and settles into being a multi-layered piece of quality drum and bass.

demand records arent shy when it comes to releasing bold drum & bass statements, and their latest offering from bern-based brazillian btk, and englishman optiv is no exception. a side >jacknife< proves that demand are the underground d&b scenes label of choice once again, with a stepper storm of tesla coil bass and malevolence. this tune was made to shake dancefloors off the richter scale – expect carnage. >menace part 2< is a straight-up evil roller, building tension with attention – grabbing drums and eventually erupting into a no-nonsense destroyer any self-respecting clubber would go nuts for. with contrast between intricate drums and relentless pneumatic pressure, optiv & btk dont give you a choice – you have to move. with dj support from the likes of bailey, anile, calyx, chris su, klute, the upbeats, teebee and more, therell be no hiding from this release. build yourself a bunker and get ready for the storm.

anyone who paid even the slightest bit of attention last year will know that demand records had an incredible 2011. releasing music from the likes of btk, spectrasoul, lost sequence & codeshaper, lenzman, heavy1, optiv, spinline, hydro and lsb, demand has certainly made its mark on the d&b scene and they show no signs of stopping during 2012. the first demand release of the year comes from mindmapper, teaming up with silvahfonk on the a side and fre4knc on the aa to create a huge single packed with infectious d&b energy. >flash forward< takes no prisoners with a deep and dark atmosphere that is balanced with sharp beats and a cavernous bassline. meanwhile >clear distinction< peps things up with a filthy reece that punctuates the end of phrases perfectly, taking this track to another level. kick starting 2012 with a bang, this single is yet another immense addition to the demand catalogue and an amazing demand debut from mindmapper, silvahfonk and fre4knc.dj support from basher, btk, chris su, dj hype, doc scott, foreign concept, hazard, loxy, lsb, marky, presha, john b, mark system, mindscape, mutated forms, the upbeats etc.

counting almost three years in the game now, demand records have set themselves a mammoth task. to continually release music that cuts through the mounting levels of hype that surround the drum and bass scene of 2013 while retaining an edge of experimental innovativeness is no easy feat. luckily, by pushing the task onto the greatest talents of the deep, dark and creative side of the scene, the label have achieved exactly what they set out to do. drum & bass on demand 2 is a collection of darkly intelligent beats from some of the labels biggest stars, as well as some incredible new talents. released on a huge 14-track cd with a vinyl-only 12 inch featuring exclusive pressings of tracks by abstract elements and pennygiles & mr josef operating on an order now or or regret it later basis, demand are proving once again why they remain one of the genres best loved labels.
