DIFF011 Arkaik 'Trauma EP' Diffrent

Nice little preview of Arkaik's forthcoming 'Trauma EP'.  Really diverse set of tunes on this one; favourite has to be the transformer bass line that powers 'Turncoat'.

"Leonard was kinda flat out for almost most of the winter of 2011, but for some reason the neck kept twitching. Meanwhile, back over in the UK, that sticky bass creator, Peter Arkaik was in the studio letting out his bad moods and stress relief over the EP project. The poor pink giraffe was almost traumatised by the renegade bassline's floating around on the halftime giraffestep track 'Turncoat', so much that the on site veterinary nurse was rushed over to the diffrent HQ to deal with the matter. While in the studio, she noticed Leonard was getting shaken up quite a bit due to Jekyll constantly trying to get busy with Arkaik working to get the collaboration 'Vertebrae' finished, while having MCXL throwing down all his toughest lyrics down to lay over the 'Headskill' track. All in all, we could cut a long story short, and say this EP has been quite a 'TRAUMA'"

CHST015 Sleeper- A. Zombies AA. Scanners

Some dark chestplate business from newcomer Sleeper.  Due for promo release on the 9th of January on Distance's chestplate imprint.  "Scanners" creates space with Sleepers use of reverb signifying a sense of the foreboding unknown.  "Zombies" uses chanting pads and a heavy weight bass creating something similar to the original stripped down style.  Sorry about the watermarks on the tracks but it's the only way you can listen to an almost full version.  With the purchase of chestplate vinyls you also recieve a digital release and with this one they're offering Sleeper's 'Narrow'.  What nice people www.surus.co.uk/chestplate.

Soul Intent- Hurt Me (Project 51)

Nottingham's Soul Intent has been hard at work and we can expect this to be released in early 2012.  Great vision on this track the combination of deep bass and snarling synths is beautifully contrasted against uplifting female vocals.

TEMPA061 Skreamizm Vol.6

Skream returns from a long break to his Skreamizm series; propagating his own vision of the direction of Dubstep music whilst keeping firmly in touch with the sound he mastered in his youth.
Some really sick tracks here but I only have time to mention a few.  "Indistinct" brings a middle eastern vibe, the female vocals call to mind ezan chants beckoning worshippers to prayer, whilst the contrasting digital fuzz creates a sense of old-meets-new.  "Abstruse" brings the depth, weight and spot-on percussion that has become synonymous with Skream's sound.  Dark and minimal just how we like it.
Due for release on the 12th December Volume. 6 will definitely be worth the little wait.   In the meantime here are some sample clips to keep you happy.

EIO16- EVOL INTENT CRUISE CONTROL EP

I don't know when the entire EP is out but the Promo for Cruise Control/Ghost is available in all good record shops on the 29th of August or digitally now http://beatport.com/s/r1DQTf . Evol Intent never fail to bring the dark n dirty side of drum n bass music. Unless your home is somewhere under a rock then you'll probably have heard of the powerhouse that is Evol Intent. For all you rock dwellers Evol Intent are a three piece drum n bass collective from Atlanta; Knick, Gigantor and the Enemy. In the past five years they have been at the forefront of the reinvention of drum n bass, Cruise Control and Ghost don't fail to please along with the roster of tunes from their aptly named Evol Intent Recordings. With this promo the trio bring us two ear splitting drumstep tunes. Ghost kills it. You never see the switch up coming and the level of production on this tune is intense; for ever changing and evolving over the entire 5 minutes creating something aggy with depth. Cruise Control is less impressive but makes use of a classic quote from Tropic Thunder.  It's full of warp infused bass lines and mechanical pistons; the relentlessness of this tune is sure to make it a dancefloor banger (though its not to everyone's taste).
