Bensley’s ‘Ascension’ opens yet another door for the Ram Records producer’s coveted story. It started with an online demo being passed along to the imprint’s head Andy C and his debut single being showcased on Zane Lowe’s primetime BBC Radio 1 slot. The newcomer’s debut LP ‘Next Generation’ was soon to follow, and was met with critical acclamation throughout both press and radio. Bensley’s namesake has only grown, with the producer becoming a pinnacle part of leftfield DJ sets and symbolising the next generation of the Ram Records roster.
On his forthcoming single, Bensley aims to further broaden his creative repertoire as he explores yet another avenue unheard by his fans: strictly dancefloor. In terms of its production, ‘Ascension’ highlights an incredibly hardwired sound design which can be heard right through to the track’s skeleton. Touching on themes of constant build and suspense, the track pulls you down on a much darker journey to those that Bensley might usually lead you. Whilst drawing from his already solid foundation in musical engineering, ‘Ascension’ unveils a new dimension to Bensley’s identity.
With another digital single adding to a discography which stands strong with his more longstanding predecessors, Bensley returns alongside a refreshing take on his original moniker.
‘We’ve gone out of our way to make sure that our first release on Barong Family is a statement of who we are as artists, down to the hand-painted cover art. Blood, sweat and tears went into this baby, and we’re grateful to Yellow Claw and the label for believing in us and encouraging us to be ourselves. It’s all you can ask for.’ – Crisis Era
Crisis Era make their official Barong Family debut after delivering not one, but two succesful Yellow Claw remixes in 2017. After giving ‘City on Lockdown’ and then ‘Do You Like Bass?’ the Crisis Era treatment and experimenting with their sound throughout the year, the Vancouver duo found themselves feeling increasingly at home at YC’s label. The four-track No Filter EP Vol. 1 is perfectly balanced by the familiar and the new, with both sides of the equation informed by the Canadians’ wild and carefree nature. ‘Drop it Low’ and ‘Make Me Bounce’, are trademark Crisis Era: fun party tracks with menacing bass and an almost cinematic production sheen. Featuring the Australian rapper Chatta, ‘Untouchable’ sees the duo messing with trap music and getting involved in some serious vocal and beat manipulation before crossing over to the other end of the spectrum on the Mike Cervello collaboration ‘Oldschool Sound’. It’s the sound of today’s experiment walking back thirty years of house music history before taking another leap forward.
After a six-year hiatus, everyone’s favourite Hospital compilation returns. Witness the sickness, this is drum & bass, this is 'Sick Music 2018'.
With 24 brand new tracks, the series that brought the world early stories of Netsky, Wilkinson, Sigma and Fred V & Grafix is back. The heritage of this series speaks volumes, and 'Sick Music 2018' takes the quality to a whole new level. Filled to the brim with dangerous dubplates this full spectrum injection is a must have for each and every D+B devotee.
Hospital's leading dancefloor duke Danny Byrd has taken things straight back to ’99 with ‘Devil’s Drop’. Firing on all cylinders he's keeping it raw, rolling and funky. In a similarly devilish fashion we have 'Bootstrap Bill’ finally unleashed by the enigmatic Unglued. Unashamedly destructive and executed with precision, this track is more dangerous than Donald Trump drunk on Twitter.
In a perfect fusion of Hospital and Med School, we see Fred V & Grafix's 'Hurricanes (Wild Love)' re-worked with pristine precision by everyone’s favourite prodigy Keeno. Keeping the vibe level at eleven, Hugh Hardie's delivered the gorgeous ‘Nightingale’, both seductively simple and oozing with elegance.
‘Just One Second’ by London Elektricity gets its first re-work since the late Apex’s famous remix on the very first Sick Music. The beautiful track see’s a sterling contemporary edit and is a testament to Mitekiss’ talent.
This album also brings the first solo single from the biggest name in D+B right now, Kings Of The Rollers. Fiercely pushing into new territory ‘Burnt Ends’ has been causing carnage on the dancefloor, getting double wheel-ups from across the globe.
Joining this rich tapestry of exemplary D+B are both veteran composers and new blood alike including: Klute, Whiney, Urbandawn, Reso, Logistics, John B, and of course Hospital Records' commander-in-chief London Elektricity.
The release will be available across all formats but its grandest form will take that off the highly limited box set. Featuring a CD, the 4x12” plates, some box set only stickers and an exclusive T-shirt. One for the collectors, this is not a release to be overlooked.
