The compilation showcases the more soulful atmospheric side of the label and brings together new and exclusive tracks & remixes by established artists and upcoming talent such as Feint, Hybrid Minds, Technimatic, Flite, Nymfo, Pola & Bryson and many more. 

Liquicity's trajectory as a force within the Drum & Bass world is stratospheric after this summer's 'Liquicity Festival'. The festival ran over 2 days with a line-up that consisted of A-Listers such as Sub Focus, High Contrast & DJ Marky along with the labels own roster of stars.

Document One - Haunted Spaces EP [Technique Recordings]




LISTEN NOW >>>>> http://bit.ly/2z9fVn0 


Since Document One’s first release on Technique Recordings, they’ve formulated a particularly volatile compound of jazz, funk, hip-hop, and tech. And they’ve proven its effectiveness by chalking up enviable levels of radio airplay, DnB chart status, and rave destruction. Now, there’s a brand new five-track EP to deliver another dose. 

This time, Document One are exploring the darker side of their nature, 
guiding us into the shadows with the upright-bass-meets-murder-minded- 
rap of Haunted Spaces. The EP’s title track builds through a sparse intro into a rhythmically-twisted drop. The punch and snap of kick and snare are coupled with a driving fusion of natural and synthetic basses. There’s a heartbeat of dancefloor funk, but this is no laid-back, casual groove. It’s a gritty, evil piece of music that sets the template for the rest of the release. 

As we move through Pulse and Newton, we’re taken deeper into the neuro side of Document One’s sound. Epic sci-fi landscapes build into claustrophobic cyber-nightmares, populated by gritty basslines and metronomically savage beats. Pulse explores the call-and-response structure, giving us an intergalactic frequency-range war. Newton does things differently, focusing on laser-guided missile strikes of low-end to drive the track along. Here, these producers prove they can strip away the jazz and go for the pure dark tech flavour without sacrificing any of their dancefloor energy. 

Rudeboy Fashion does something different again. Still, though, there’s no lack of that wide cinematic space, even when the rap vocal motif rolls in. The ultra-clean drums that drop with pitch-bending and modulating basses give this a feeling of classic techsteppers but brought bang up to date. Here, Document One show that they’re capable of exploring multiple sub-genres without losing the essence of their style. 

To round off the EP, Clergy adds yet another twist to the tale. Reverberant pads and effects swirl around a restrained but rolling beat. Basslines morph and modulate in the low registers, while the emcee verse conjures night-shrouded imagery. This is a stripped-back production, with Document One combining just a few perfectly-constructed elements to create the vibe. Very dark, and a tune that discerning dancefloors are going to love. 

This EP is set to reconfigure our expectations of Document One. It has their production fingerprints all over it, but presented in a different, more midnight-tinged, package. It just goes to show the artistry in their style, and it’s clear these tracks are another milestone in the onwards-and-upwards Doc One progression.

Bassnectar & Dorfex Bos - Other Worlds ◈ [Reflective Pt.2 - Dec 1st]

  
Forthcoming on Reflective (Part 2) - December 1st, 2017

“Other Worlds” was inspired by a new collage from Sebastian Wahl , which we brought to life with the help of Black Lake Media. The collage shows portals emerge and unfold and evolve within and around a picture frame… a magical gateway, like the wardrobe in The Chronicles of Narnia.

On a sunny day in Brooklyn I sat down with Dorfex Bos to write a piece of music to go along with the visuals, and the ideas just came pouring out. We finished the song in 24 hours flat, with various instruments and sounds mapped to various details and dimensions of the various worlds within the collage.

Rene LaVice’s story began after becoming enamoured with the world of drum & bass during his formative years. After spending time both behind the decks and in the studio, he honed a craft which saw him land a prized place within the Ram Records roster and move to its hotbed in London. From here his career went from strength to strength, with his single ‘The Calling’ ft. Ivy Mairi hitting BBC Radio 1’s A List and releasing two critically acclaimed LPs on the imprint. He’s set to return for a third album this year, with forthcoming track ‘Let You Go’, written alongside singer Jareth, once again channelling the same emotive vibe peppered across his back catalogue.

Whilst this next output from Rene is reminiscent of his earlier releases, it also takes you diving head first into a different soundscape. ‘Let You Go’ features an impressive musicality, as well as a lyrical content which helps to keep its impassioned vibes. Singer Jareth, who Rene previously collaborated with for single ‘Helium’, shot to prominence following features with Bashy, Ghetts, Chris Lake and Lioness, garnering support from BBC 1xtra and BBC Radio 1, as well as launching a fashion campaign alongside Roberto Cavalli. With vocal crescendos and crashing, high-rising synth patterns, Rene crunches forward on chomping snares. Each drum peddle helps bolster the mix whilst you’re taken down a swirling melody moving between firing beat patterns. It’s the perfect reintroduction to Rene’s ingenious song design, which he’s switched up for another year of delivering yet more incredible music.

‘Let You Go’ will detonate the anticipation around Rene’s forthcoming album – it’ll continue to prove his capabilities as an artist and push him even further onto the radars of tastemakers everywhere. After bringing his sounds transatlantic for a US tour, the producer is set to dominate the airwaves, taking his music globally through all aspects of his art.
