when it comes to dedication to drum and bass, industry heavyweight audio is just about as committed as it gets. from his long-standing reign in the scene to his drum and bass tattooed knuckles, audio has always been held in high regard in the genre - and for good reason. now returning to blackout for his new ep, audio gives us a taste of the rat race as he brings us one of his most hard-hitting works yet.
hailing from the uk, audio has immersed himself in the world of drum and bass for the past 15 years, releasing four albums, racking up countless 12 inches and gracing the very best labels in the business (virus, blackout, ram records). his production is clean, sharp, powerful and every bit as impressive as the producer’s own passion when it comes to going the extra mile.
the rat race ep is a slice of explosive, unadulterated drum and bass that packs a punch. in other words, it’s exactly what you can expect when two powerhouses such as blackout and audio re-align.

a strong staple in the drum and bass scene for over a decade, gridlok is no stranger to whipping up heavy, power-fuelled tracks guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. ready to cause more chaos with a fresh spin on his trademark concoction of hard-hitting drums and driving basslines, gridlok now gears up to unleash 13 face-melting new tracks on his new z3r0 h0u2 lp.

having dropped a tasty teaser a couple of weeks ago, black sun empire fulfil their promise of delivering a brand new long player album project entitled “the wrong room” that is sure to get pulses racing.
the 4 track double vinyl includes a code for download of the full 14 tracl album.

when heavyweights collide in any arena there’s always going to be fireworks, and the violent five ep sees two such goliaths, black sun empire and state of mind, go head-to-head across four dark-edged dancefloor killers.

releasing under the moniker misanthrop since 2002, michael brauningers music reflects a foreboding sense of darkness, something that has been prevalent in his previous releases with the likes of critical recordings, neosignal and subtitles. misanthrop has utilised unfamiliar ways to push the envelope of his twisted, sinister sound for new ep *i need more*.
the automated refrain on *capitalism* reflects the stark coldness of misanthrops work, before unleashing an onslaught of off-beat breaks to display brauningers deft, often unpredictable production style.
*rock n roll*, a more familiar tear-out drum & bass track, bolstered by pummelling percussive flourishes and flashes of distortion throughout.
gaining support from the likes of skrillex, goldie, skream, alix perez and more, misanthrop has spent his 13 year career carving a sound that is wholly realised in this latest release. brutal, uncompromising and inherently forward thinking.

drum & bass stalwarts black sun empire are to follow up a trio of recent eps from the upbeats, neonlight and pythius with the release of *until the world ends* - a four-track, collaborative ep with nz duo state of mind. to be released in march on double vinyl via their genre-defining blackout imprint, it marks an exciting start to 2015.

since the launch of their highly acclaimed label, astrophonica, in 2009, fracture & neptune have been busy boys in the studio, churning out rock-solid tracks with each and every release. here at blackout hq, we can honestly say that were more than a little excited when they kindly agreed to do a 12 inch for us! and we hope you’ll agree that the finished article doesnt disappoint ...

dirty basslines, some swift vocals and nice synthesizer melodies form the overall picture. >doc with the groove<, heavy on the bass, is a good opener track. following the clubhymne >elektro honk< with an outstanding break in the middle of the song

a musical partnership forged at the beginning of the millennium, ajit steyns and kate mcgill have developed a well defined and unmistakable sound as the untouchables. tribal rhythms drenched in dub, with characteristic nods to the breaks and rave stabs era of late 90’s dnb, their music has been an integral component of the darker half-time sound that has become more prevalent within dnb over the past 5 years. tempering the menace of their atmospherics with distinctive low-slung bass lines has made their music essential to dj’s championing this sound.

Ôjoy is bbfs fourth album and the first one to be truly vocalist-focused and song-centric. with the help of canadian poet-singer beaver sheppard who played an prominent role the composition, bbf explore what the band-members describe as Ôpost-religious themes, such as struggling to find joy in times of uncertainty and instability. this makes it without any doubt bbfs Ônietzsche album. following on from their latest album Ômiami (2013) bbf keeps moving away from the dark mood of their early releases and the image of a Ôclassical new music ensemble to resemble more closely an Ôexperimental rock band. with much more grit and growl than before, they draw upon genres and styles that are not conventionally associated with joy: krautrock, punk, drumnbass, indie rock, new wave, and pretty much every other Ô-wave from the 80s. with each track offering a contrasting combination of styles and genres, bff succeed in devoting a whole album to a single feeling without making it either monotone or clichŽ. instead, they build on euphoria to expand and enrich electronic musics emotional range

following the success of its first release by the ever elusive jason grove, the vinyl-only sub-label skylax extra series returns with a little something beyond special. for those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.joey kay hails from chicago in the us and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. he keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. there are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.
