Blaine Stranger is among the top Drum & Bass producers

With a head of hair that will shy away any lion, Blaine, is on his way to not being a stranger to any our Drum & Bass fan. Viper Recordings pulled some sick sounds from down under with this australian Drum & Bass prodigy, Blaine Stranger. This new release is hailing as a funk floor mover. “Mesmerise” is your floor roller of the evening suitable for the biggest festivals to your car ride home from work. Its a track thats reminiscent of the older Sub Focus sound but still has its intrigue in mix down and ingenuity. The flip side, “Get Down,” is a smasher of a tune. Similar to the sound of Rusty K, Aeph, or the new crew Magnetude. This rack rolls with a feeling that is immense and can pump on any dance floor!

Check out the latest from Viper.

Tobax & Mizo on Red Light

Tobax is a young one in the Drum & Bass scene but is railing though the masses like a veteran who’s been producing for ages. This kid is a Russian monster who hales from the town of Samara and he’s launching those Russian missiles of baselines to the world. His style and production is as effective as it gets. His just released on Optiv’s Red Light Records with another montsterous Russian producer, Mizo and both tracks are massive. This is one of those releases where you were so happy you got two A-sides on a record for the price of one! His collaboration with Mizo on the track “Balanced” is flawless. But our favorite from the release is Tooth Pain! This track is grinding!

Dorian & Skore keep it clean and tight

Whoa! Dorian continues to blow us away. This Austrian badman grows with every track he puts out. This time he joins forces with fellow countryman, Skore and their track Powertool is the A-sides of all A-sides. Move over Phace, someones listened and made it better. Dorian & Skore’s track Powertool is similar to a couple of Phace tracks without being too house/techno influenced. Maybe its the vocal, but this track stands out. I’ve head the opportunity to listen to this on different systems and must say this one is well done. The power moves through any speaker and into your legs. This thing pumps you up. Fantastic music!

Cyantific is not to be messed with!

We all enjoy the Viper Recordings sound. It’s a house hold name for avid Drum & Bass enthusiasts world wide. Their selection of dance floor music hold my admiration today as it did whilst growing up in DNB. Viper never seizes to amaze me with their selection and with that said, the truth is, the artists they put forth are some of the best in the world. Cyantific is no different while being SUPER Different! This man is a monster in the studio and continously puts out top notch Drum & Bass. His dance floor tracks always seem to hit him and this next one hits ever so sweet. “Fade into the Night” is a bowl of beauty in the sounds the artist has melded together. Check out the latest from Cyantific!

Mayan Audio Goes to Let It Roll

Barbarix comes hard on this release!

Barbarix comes correct with this Mayan Audio release. His track “Severed” on the label’s “Goes to Let It Roll” EP is a smash hit. This track is Mortal Kombat meets Tron on an epic adventure to the core of this volatile earth! The track intros with an atmospheric erie build up featuring epic toms building up the halftime drum drop. Then the stab comes. Its such a simple rave stab similar to something we have heard over and over again, but with the bass line and the hyper drums, this drop becomes one of the staple sounds you will hear at this years Let It Roll festival. Massive respect to Barbarix and Mayan Audio. Check out the track here:

Akrom keeps on smashing em out!

Akrom releases with Red Light

Akrom is on of Italy’s best talents to date. This producer stays so true in putting forth what DNB Magazine hails as true Neurofunk. The tight drums, filtered bass, stabbing synths, and overall movement in his tracks are cerebral. Optiv’s Red Light Records couldn’t go without bring your his latest release “Undermined / Life Cycle.” With “Life Cycle” Akron teams up with Disphonia and Impak. They introduce you to the track with an LP atmosphere and an an odd broken piano melody and raise your intrigue with epic stings and percussion ready to have you soar over ancient egypt and then the drop hits with some of the best neuro you can hear. The title track “Undermined” is no different in the amount of energy it brings. The synths that hit at the switch are so dope. Akrom certainly knows how to bring forth the best of neurofunk.

Neonlight returns!

Neon light brings you their super weird tracks “Boom” and “Slap”. We are certainly impressed with the ever growing style of this duo. The tracks however are odd. “Slap” is our favorite of the two and will certainly smash any club. “Boom” is a bit too odd for DNB Magazine’s taste but even still.. is nasty.

“Slap” has an amazing switch in the glitch hop drop. Reminiscent of Ivy Lab and Mefjus, Sunday Crunk with a little less “Funk”

Magnetude is here! Run for your Lives!

Magnetide - Dead Leaves Feat. Julia Marks

Lifted brings you Magnetude and we are blown away!

Lifted Music, most known to release famed Drum & Bass producer Spor (Feed Me), have signed on a new duo that will be the labels best prospect to date. Magnetude is a colaboration between Rusty K and Overtech. Their first EP Hyperdrive was wicked but this one is AMAZING! From the imagery the artists put forth to this amazing sound quality, Magnetude are now a monstrous forth to be reckoned with.

The release

Their recent release “Dead Leaves” featuring Julia Marks is an epic sound. The introduction has a hint that it could be in a Tim Burton movie. Something so dark and erie with a sense of calm within the dark is sure to be in a thriller of sorts or even in the scene when Peg enters the dark home of Edward Scissorhands in Burton’s 1990 classic. The piano, stings, and then a hectic drop all smash but the hip-hop switch up in the middle of the breakdown is so sick! Someone needs to bootleg this part… Then the second drop is where its at! But wait….

“Now Run” is the Floyd Mayweather of this release! This release does not get old. I must have heard it one hundred times over! The intro features some atmosphere with a have time break. But the vocal is so dope. It sounds like a vocoded version of the movie Purge and how she announces the annual Purge. “We are now going to test your strength.” “Please be advised, there is no way back…” “Now…. Run!” OH MY GOD!!! What an absolute smasher of a drop. The bass like and the high pitched triplet of a synth is a blast from the future. I can’t say enough about this release. This is one you MUST add to you arsenal. Especially if your a gym rat! Get those blue tooth headphones on and get ready to bench press more than ever before!
