alix perez returns to exit records with the recall & reflect ep. the project shows how versatile alix’s repertoire is, comparative to his very well received recent excursions into progressive half time tracks. the aesthetic of the ep is soulful and introspective, an expression sometimes lacking in the current landscape of disposable music. this aesthetic coupled with alix’s production prowess makes for a very interesting marriage.

skeptical opens the exit records 2015 release schedule with a 4 track 12 inch ep. believe it or not, this is skepticals debut solo release on exit, with previous contributions consisting of his monster collaboration with dub phizix and strategy, the mighty marka, as well as individual tracks on the mosaic series 1 and 2.
the ep features the percussive roller and title track *imperial*, which has been taking dance floors deep into the jungle over the last few months in typical skeptical fashion. as usual with his tracks this is not laptop music. sub bass is essential to appreciate the full production qualities and the whole ep demonstrates his power to achieve the utmost with the very minimum.

last seen on exit back in 2012 with the excellent get busy drop, charlie fracture fieber returns to the label and shows off his loving touch on an ep that really ups the production ante

stray is a producer currently at the top of his game, weather it be his solo work or his collaborations and contributions to the trio ivy lab, his productions are going from strength to strength and he is proving to be one of the most adaptable producers out there. following his debut ep *matchsticks*, stray comes with the *chatterbox* ep on exit records in april. featuring a similarly versatile selection of tracks from the straight up dancefloor friendly *award tour*, the wonky hip hop influenced halftime *easy boy* through to the jungle influenced *chatterbox* and smooth laid back sounds of *fragile*, the ep is picking up a shed load of support from dbridge, om unit, friction, alix perez, machine drum, sam binga, fracture and many more.

damon kirkham aka kid drama made his first steps into the 170 bpm realms as one half of the game changing production partnership instra:mental. together with dbridge their autonomic podcasts went down in history for breathing new life back into a somewhat stagnant underground drum and bass scene, showcasing their material alongside many other producers and pricking up many ears that had long since given up on the genres increasingly formulaic output. after a few years working under his jon convex moniker, he returns to the higher tempos as kid drama feeling there is still a lot of uncharted territory left to explore. together with dbridge he has embarked on a new podcast series (heart drive) which again aims to showcase their new material and that of like minded producers. his first release as kid drama *one six eight* appeared on the mosaic vol 2 lp followed by a remix of one of his own jon convex tracks on convex industries *with you* but here we have his debut full release as kid drama including collaborations with om unit and hands like crime.

the *matchsticks* ep is strays first full release on exit and comes in the form of a four track 12 inch on transparent vinyl, with heavy support from djs such as giles peterson, mark pritchard, om unit, machine drum alix perex, annie mac, lenzman and dbridge amongst many more.

marcus intalex has been a supporter of exit records since its inception, both regularly playing the labels music and also djing at the exit club nights over the years. he is often billed on the same lineups as dbridge due to their similar tastes and no nonsense selection policy but oddly enough, this is his debut release on exit. two tracks, *gripped* and *qwer key* showing off marcus trademark sound which as always appeal to both the dance floor and the headphones.

when dub phizix last graced the exit catalogue alongside skeptical and strategy for the now classic *marka* single, the response was immense. getting played by djs across the board from the likes of skream, david rodigan, shy fx, chase & status, andy c, dbridge, marcus intalex, toddla t, mista jam, friction, zane lowe, breakage, mary anne hobbs (in fact, there is probably too many djs names to fit on this page) it became not only a club and radio anthem but also a youtube hit with nearly 2 million plays to date. just over a year later, a couple of trips djing around the world he is back with another one of manchesters finest mcs (also from the estate recordings camp) skittles. hot off the back of his album *poor with £100 trainers* he combines with dub phizix on *i m a creator* to make another yet dancefloor anthem. tearing up clubs and festivals since the distant summer months, it has become another certified dj tool guaranteed get any party going.

clear vinyl pressing. individually numbered and limited to 250 copies.
fis might not be a name you have heard of, and his music might be unfamiliar due to his very limited back catalogue, but dont let that allow you to come to any premature assumptions. his music is of incomparable quality, fully matured, and there really is nothing out there that sounds quite like it. words like organic / crusty / raw / insane spring to mind but none of them quite hit the nail on the head. at first it might be an awkward listen because it just doesnt make any sense, its a bit like chaos theory, its so chaotic and unpredictable that it comes full circle and creates a picture that you really need to step back and view from a distance to appreciate. slight elements of modern electronica reside amongst a much more earthy, tribal and spiritual backdrop of hand picked field recordings. this is not an album you can blast from your laptop speakers and flick through looking for the drop to make a quick assessment of weather you are going to like the rest of it or not. it takes time and patience to really appreciate this little gem, hold it in different lights, study it from different angles and you will discover a multitude of different faces.

next up were proud to be releasing indigos debut solo 12 inch for exit. he has been a busy man of late with releases on hypercolour amongst others, but this one sees him return to exit with two quality cuts of 170 freshness. trademark widescreen atmospherics and top notch sound design combined with rough and rugged drums and bass make these tracks stand tall above the crowd. indigo pushing the boundries once again.

brand new release from fracture featuring collaborator dawn day night for the excellent exit records label. fracture has been noted as stating this particular style of his recent productions should be filed under jungle juke a sound inspired by the us footwork house trend and built within a jungle framework… intriguing, let the debate commence.

clarity is an exceptional talent hailing from the south west of england, at just 17 years old he has already amassed an impressive catalogue of releases for such a young age. his debut release on exit records is an insight into his undeniable talent and future potential, having already gained dj support for his music from a range of djs including dbridge, alix perez, spectrasoul, doc scott, jubei, loxy, skeptical, icicle and grooverider, he is sure to be one to watch over the coming years.

nice price deal !!! real name dan griober, dan habarnam has been active since the 90s, doing production for romanian pop artists while also working on his own projects. his solo catalog is pretty slim, with just a few appearances on drum & bass labels like santorin and subtle audio, but from the known is clearly the work of an experienced artist: though loosely anchored in techno, ambient and bass music, its stylistically open-ended, and produced with an audiophiles attention to detail. according to the label, groibers meticulousness extended to the mastering process as well (the cd, for instance, was recorded direct from the vinyl to achieve that special analog feel)

amit has joined forces with exit records for the release of his upcoming ep. the project also sees amit reuniting with vocalist rani who previously featured on several tracks on >9 times<. this fruitful collaborative relationship is further cemented by >stay with me< and >you look better dead<. rani is a london based vocalist of irish/indian descent. she originally started writing and performing her original songs at the age of 16 in local venues near her home town in the west of ireland. until her recent collaboration with amit, ranis musical endeavors were more folk oriented with artists such as john martyn and bob dylan proving to be major influences on her song writing. her interest in electronic music was initiated when exposed to martyns early electro acoustic experimentation. she also considers contemporary artists such as radiohead, bjork and sonic youth to be major sources of inspiration along with the work of creatives working in other mediums such as film-maker david lynch and visual artist marina abramovic.

overstepping boundaries, transcending electronic genres, hot stepping between bpm and diving into a range of thoughtful and often beautifully delicate sounds. synkro has proved him­self a force to be reck­oned with in 2012, progression is arugable his finest work to date. this 12 inch features the original mix backed with indigo remix.

the long awaited sequel to the groundbreaking >live for never< lp from new zealand electronic wonderkid consequence is completed and scheduled for a dec 19th release on exit records. the release of >live for never< reminded the electronic world of the intricacies and emotional heights of drum & bass, and carried the genre into new realms of sonic possibility. >test dream< is not for those who expect the next logical evolution of >live for never<. it is also not for the unadventurous, nor for those who seek easily digestible music. creatively free, consequence revels in pure electronic experimentation, and the result is an album that follows no rules, and explores fractal dimensions that defy conventional genres.

londons loxy and finlands resound have always been known for their ragga-tinged, hardhittingsound, where each beat slams through with an untouchable technical precision. the two producers have been combining forces for the last three years – including their 2009 anthem >green destiny / storyboard< (digital soundboy), remixes for kryptic minds, additions to renegade hardware compilations, last years >no money – deadly venom / driving force< (def recordings), and their contribution to exit records >mosaic: volume one< (vertigo) earlier this year. but the duos long-awaited debut long player marks their first collaboration that has absolutely no boundaries: as experimental and creative as it gets. true to form, as most exit records releases go, >burning shadows< sees both producers finding their stride, and treading into surprising new sonic territories from a few different directions. taking the energy and force of early tech-heavy drum & bass, loxy & resound bring the genre into a sound that is uniquely their own.

new zealands downtempo-bass producer consequence, aka cam mclaren, always treads the line musically, to the point that the line became blurred entirely. his debut album, >live for never<, reminded the electronic world of the intricacies and emotional heights of drum & bass, and carried the genre into new realms of sonic possibility. >live for never< appealed to different scenes across the board (and around the world), receiving rapturous applause from electronic musics toughest critics (resident advisor, boomkat, fact) and magazine gurus alike (dj magazine, idj). in march 2011, consequence made his second album appearance on exit records with joe seven, as they live: the duos >cancel standard< was an immersive, sci-fi laced album that set the bar for the year rather high. consequence decided to end 2011 with one more album, however: his long-awaited sophomore solo lp: >test dream<. >test dream< is not for those who expect the next logical evolution of >live for never<. its also not for the unadventurous, nor for those who seek easily digestible music. creatively free, consequence revels in pure electronic experimentation, and the result is an album that follows no rules, and explores fractal dimensions that defy conventional genres. the downtempo compositions on the lp manage to hold the intensity and propelling urgency of high bpm electronic music, even though some of the tracks are relatively beatless.

joe seven returns for another single on dbridges excellent exit records. this one arriving as if from nowhere, whoever clicks the soundclip link first is likely one of the first outside the secretive exit camp to hear the audio.

synkro & indigo are a welcome new addition to the exit catalogue. after both their solo contributions to the mosaic vol 1 compilation they join forces (as they very often do) and provide two tracks that fully explain why they are pricking up many ears at the moment and building a solid fan base. never afraid to write music from the heart rather than trying to fit a mould, they bring a refreshing and inspirational sound to the table and exit records are proud to provide an outlet for their work.

limited edition vinyl only pressing white label.

exit records bring a new project to the table with a collaboration between consequence and joe seven. consequence made his debut on exit in 2009 with his highly acclaimed album >live for never< capturing the attention of electronica fans world-wide with his organic and unique take on drum n bass. also having been a staple part of the autonomic camp since day one, he is slowly but surely developing his sound and delving deeper into the unknown. this time he teams up with another new exit artist joe seven (who has an imminent solo single) and together they have created the they live alias to showcase what happens when these two minds meet in the studio.

exit introduce joe seven, one half of they live whos debut album is out on 28th march. snap this one up, unique bass music from the ever evolving exit records label.

after consequences debut album on exit as a virtually unknown producer with only a couple of releases to his name, he has blossomed into a much loved and highly regarded musician whos compositions have that rare listen again quality. his work has been an integral part of the autonomic movement over the past two years and will continue to be long into the future. with a recently completed second solo album and also a collaborative album project with friend joe seven under the alias >they live< on the release schedule, exit records present this single as the first of a 10 inch series reminding us of his talent.

incl. well known producers such as skream, instra:mental, scuba and commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as indigo, synkro, mode and code 3. the theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dance floor killer such as systems >observation point< or loxy and resounds >vertigo< through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of croms >invisible cities< or strays >pushed<, this album truly represents the more experimental side of drum and bass as opposed to the crash bang wollop!

this format is 4x12inch vinyl & 2 x cd packaged together in a gatefold sleeve shrink wrapped. as normal with exit records, theres no prejudice in the track selection. well known producers such as skream, instra:mental, scuba and commix rub shoulders with some inspiring new talents such as indigo, synkro, mode and code 3. the theme of the album is quality timeless music, whether it be a dancefloor killer such as systems >observation point< or loxy & resounds >vertigo< through to the tangerine dreamlike sounds of croms >invisible cities< or strays >pushed<. this album truly represents the more experimental side of drum n bass, as opposed to the crash bang wallop that seems to be the only side of drum n bass portrayed by the mainstream media today. hopefully this album will manage to reach the people that thought this forward thinking music was left behind in the nineties, to let them know that its still alive and well, and still capable of throwing up some surprising and unpredictable results.

amazing 3 track sampler with very well selected dubstep

after a lengthy break from the electronic music world, genotype is back with an lp for exit records and provides a lesson in stripped back dub influenced music at approximately 170 bpm. having started his music career in the mid nineties under the legendary alias just jungle, with releases on the massively influential labels of that era such as trouble on vinyl, renegade hardware and reinforced records, its no surprise that he has managed to capture the essence of rawness in his recent music akin to the early years of jungle. many producers have tried and failed to bring back the old skool sound with an original flavor but genotype has managed this by resisting the temptation to lash in the tired old classic breaks and instead has drawn for the more organic sounding percussion and drum kits. the dubbed out theme runs throughout the album paying homage to his love for west indian music which he has been involved in for many years and naturally influences the music he creates. genotype is a man of few words and prefers to let his music do the talking so check out the album and draw your own conclusions.

few artists nowadays can claim true originality in the music they make, artists who have their own unique sound. you can easily spot a dj premier break, an m.i.a. chant, or a timbaland beat, because these are the artists who have etched out their own niche in the musical forum. these people push the envelope with their production, keeping things fresh, exciting and interesting for us lowly listeners. steve spacek is one of these people.

exit records bring their busy 2009 release schedule to a close with this outstanding 12 inch from label owner dbridge, featuring two tracks that have been consistently played over the last few months by djs such as goldie, friction, alix perez, spectrasoul, fabio, doc scott and marcus intalex amongst others.

deep and dark dnb journey by code 3, already featured on fabriclive.50 mix by d-bridge & instra:mental.

mark system is by no means a newcomer to the music world having been performing as an mc and producing music for labels such as digital soundboy and shogun audio amongst others for over a decade. his debut on exit records consists of two tracks which underline his production skills and originality in sound design and arrangement.

after the mighty blush response collaboration with dbridge on his debut album the gemini principle, followed by an impressive contribution to the aptitude series, instramental grace exit records once again with a this outstanding 12inch!!! both have been created from the same electronic genetics and sit side by side like brother and sister. yet another fine example of why instramental have been getting so much attention recently. their trademark clean and distinctive sound has been evolving at an ever increasing rate, and here we have two extreme directions on the same 12inch that reminds us what these guys are capable of.

the first release for 2010 on exit records comes in the form of two tracks by russian newcomers abstract elements, made up of two producers bop and diagram...

after well over 10 years of producing as part of future forces and the legendary bad company, dbridge hits us with his highly anticipated solo album!

consequence was introduced to d bridge via mutual friends whilst touring new zealand and after listening to some of his music, dbridge knew that he had found an artist with the potential to create an album suited to the labels ethos of writing music from the heart and not necessarily directed at the dancefloor.

consequence was introduced to d bridge via mutual friends whilst touring new zealand and after listening to some of his music, d bridge knew that he had found an artist with the potential to create an album suited to the labels ethos of writing music from the heart and not necessarily directed at the dancefloor. d-bridge had just started his autonomic podcast series alongside instra:mental with the intention of showcasing and developing artists who were thinking outside of the conventional drum & bass box.

spectrasoul provide their debut single on exit records, which consists of two tracks written especially for the label. melodies is a clever combination of melancholic synth samples, used courtesy of legendary minimal electronica producers isan, featuring the vocal talents of up and coming american rnb singer mike knight. an unconventional beat pattern makes this track stand out from the crowd and provides a refreshing break on the dancefloor.

the flip finds d bridge going to work on reverible top, a track that was initially to be found on steves space shift album. this reworking has all the hall marks of d bridges hardened soul sound, often imitated, never bettered. black pocket vol. 3 is the perfect starter to a dutch pot full album of stewed uk soul.

15 years deep in this music, 2008 is the year in which survival will release his first album. d bridge?s exit records will provide the sturdy platform to launch this highly anticipated lp.

steve kielty has been involved in both, producing and engineering since the inception of drum n bass back in 1993/94 when he kicked off his musical career as a studio engineer. with a recent plethora of well received releases on labels including creative source, exit records, dnaudio, quarantine, play music and shogun audio, survivals deep, organic sound has rapidly earned him a reputation as one of the true craftsmen of modern drum & bass. collaborations with break, silent witness, d-bridge, fierce, sabre and zero tolerance clearly illustrate the respect he commands from his peers.

limited sampler from the >surival< album coming late may! >walk on by< & >closure< are trademark deep dancefloor tunes by man himself survival! bag it!

the debut album from dbridge is finally upon us! after well over 10 years of producing as part of future forces and the legendary bad company, dbridge hits us with his highly anticipated solo album, the gemini principle. having proved himself as a talented solo artist with a wave of solo releases and remixes on labels such as metalheadz, soul:r, creative source, quarantine, shogun audio, liquid v and bingo to name a few, dbridge is releasing the gemini principle on his homegrown imprint, exit records.if you r familiar with the sounds of dbridge then you will know to expect the unexpected.he will give you a varied album and the highest quality listening pleasure.

deep, dramatic, abstracted d&b from exits most esoteric operator, consequence. test dream is an advanced follow-up to the burial-esque scapes of his 2009 debut, live for never, scanning sci-fi inspired minimal d&b topographies with a filigree attention to detail. ultimately, its not the kind of d&b thatll have you firing shots in the ceiling: its strengths lie in the vivid evocation of dystopian futures and plugged-in, cyber-surreal dream states, conducted with the ability to suspend disbelief and submerge the willing participant in a whole other headspace. that said, there are dancefloor-ready moments like the sinuous, sub-heavy soul sees spirit, but the best moments occur when the dancefloor seems to be receding beneath your feet / sofa, as with the whirring autechre-ian dynamics of magda trench and the majestic loveshell, or the flickering, skeletal remains of marlo.
