LISTEN NOW >> hhttps://soundcloud.com/drumsoundandbasslinesmithttps://soundcloud.com/drumsoundandbasslinesmith Drumsound & Bassline Smith are one of the most significant acts in drum ‘n’ bass. Their foundations were built in the very earliest days of rave, and their productions have never lost that pioneering spirit. Bridging the gap between the underground and mainstream, able to smash the biggest festival stages while still able to rinse it out for the a cionados, they’ve proven their status time and time again. And, now, they’ve got a a brand new album for us, Wardance. The first single, Come With Me, is already shutting down dances everywhere and stormed to the top of the DnB charts, so the follow-up comes loaded with anticipation.
This time, we’re being treated to the LP’s title track, and it’s clear that Drumsound & Bassline Smith aren’t playing. Wardance opens in a dark, forbidding landscape of unsettling scythe-swings of synth-brass and dissonant pads. It all blatantly signi es approaching danger. As gritty, grimed-up orchestral stabs ll the atmosphere, and chest-crushing sledgehammer kick drums build, it’s time for ravers to nd their space on the oor. We already know this one’s going to be weighty.
The drop has Drumsound & Bassline Smith’s name written all over it. Whiplash strikes of kick and snare, supported by the rolling breaks that have always featured in their work, keep it moving. Insistently sustained waves of bassline, and those electric-charge modulations to mark out the ends of phrases, drive the energy onwards. This one’s going to be a deejay’s weapon of choice across the sub-genre divisions. Tech, rollers, jump-up, however a selector classi es themselves, they’re going to want this on their USB for when it’s rave-destruction time.
It might only be the second taste we’ve had of the Wardance album, but this release, combined with Come With Me, demonstrates that Drumsound & Bassline Smith are at the top of their game. Of course, there’s the scienti c production technicality born of long years of experience, but that’s not all that’s on o er. These producers add an intimate understanding of how to bring vibes to a dance oor. Essentially, these singles tell us that the album is going to be absolutely lethal
Providing an opening show for the world’s biggest drum & bass festival is no small feat. For a second year running, the Ram Records roster were given the chance to recreate Let it Roll’s dystopian feel through their sounds, with Calyx & Teebee taking on this huge task for 2017. Following anther seminal year for the festival, the imprint is releasing Calyx & Teebee’s opening ceremony in four parts; a carefully diced up package which will instantly transport you back to a defining part of Let it Roll’s history. Whether it’s the old-school sonics which first made Calyx & Teebee infamous, or their more contemporary bass-heavy switches seen throughout this year’s releases, each record demonstrates why the duo were brought on board to provide such an integral part of drum & basses largest event.
‘Immortal’ is the first statement of Calyx & Teebee’s successive career; its epic orchestral intro and layers of uplifting synth lull you into a false sense of security, highlighting the outfit’s deep trenches of musicality. The record then begins to roll out with manic drum beats and robotic vocal samples, dropping into an archaic drum & bass anthem which oozes with classic appeal. ‘Immortal’ then breaks midway, moving forward on stabbed note arpeggios and more subdued punches of bass. However once more you’re thrown through its motions, winding through a second breakdown which reiterates the track’s heavier elements.
Together Calyx & Teebee have brought drum & bass from the underground into a more renowned spotlight, whilst never losing the touches which made their sets so notoriously dangerous. And what better way to celebrate Ram Records’ twenty five year anniversary than securing another opening ceremony slot for longstanding members within their army of talent.
