Lorn - Ask The Dust - Ninja Tune - www.catapult.co.uk
‘Ask The Dust’ is named after the 1939 proto-Beat classic novel of the same name by John Fante. The album sees Lorn’s music developing a more human energy - in particular, the use of his own singing voice (a process which began on the last track of ‘Nothing Else’, ‘What’s The Use’), which has added a new dimension to his often crunching and brutal but never less than beautiful electronic music.
Hackman And Bluto - What Matters (James Fox Remix) - Deadplate - www.catapult.co.uk
Pre-Order Hackman And Bluto - What Matters (James Fox Remix) - Deadplate - www.catapult.co.uk Here
Carrying on from the success of their last release from Artifact, Deadplate Records present Hackman & Bluto's "What Matters". "What Matters" is a bouncing House track with a weighty bass line, sure to waken up any dance floor and perfectly timed for the Summer. Marimba vibes keep this track bubbling along with an addictive and strong melody that has become unanimous with Hackman's style. James Fox creates a powerful 4/4 remix on the flip, stripping back the original and bringing a mid-90's UK Garage flavour to the table. A real powerhouse on the dance floor, this is one of the strongest pieces of work from one of the UK's most exciting House producers.

Pre-Order - Red Rack’em - Chirpsin’ - All Alone - RAMP - www.catapult.co.uk Here
Red Rack’em enters the warm embrace of RAMP with his latest 12 inch – Chirpsin / All Alone. Red Rack’em has been honing his skills over the past few years with a handful of singles on his own Bergerac label, which have been strongly supported by the RAMP office. As bass music has evolved, Rack’em’s dubby, druggy take on house music has become more and more relevant - the signing to RAMP seemed fitting. Expect another 12” and an album over the coming months.

The Prototypes - Pandora-Abyss - Shogun Recordings - www.catapult.co.uk
Having risen royally up the ranks over the course of last year, The Prototypes have been busying themselves back in the studio preparing for the next onslaught. After their seminal ‘Born To Rise’ and high profile remixes for the likes of Snoop Dogg and Ed Sheeran, it’s now time to let rip with what is without doubt some of their most explosive work yet; just light the blue touch paper and stand well back.

Kromestar Noiz - The Growler on Origin Audio at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Kromestar Noiz - The Growler on Origin Audio at www.catapult.co.uk here - Noiz is a step back from Kromestar’s uptempo wicked wobblers, leaning more towards an anthemic banger. With slowly rising and oscillating mid-range siren like distortion juxtaposed by skittering 808 hi-hats and half-step kick snare percussion, this one will blow up a dance. You can even hear Kromestar go mad for it and call it “Kromestep. Dark Tantrums goes absolutely mental with The Growler. Mad oscillations and wonky wobbles litter a tense warzone atmosphere. 4by4 breakdown percussion gives the tune a dark bounce.

Drawing influences from most of the continents with people living on them, he works to create rhythmically focused music that moves hips and spills drinks. Stryker grew up in San Juan Capistrano, CA playing guitar and drums in a string of bands who mastered the fine art of garage-based rocking before moving to the Bay Area and finding an interest in club music as a new class of producers with fresh takes on dance production began to flood the World Wide Web. Upon completing his first set of original tracks, he caught the ear of Dubstep pioneer, Skream, who signed the tunes to his imprint, Disfigured Dubz.
Swindle Do The Jazz on Deep Medi Musik at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Swindle Do The Jazz on Deep Medi Musik at www.catapult.co.uk here - ‘Do The Jazz’ has been getting support and radio play from the likes of Mistajam, Annie Mac and Toddla T, due to it’s pure energy! Don’t be fooled by the hypnotic jazz lick that lulls you into a false sense of security only for the ferocious bass line and piercing rave stabs to tear you limb from limb, pow! ‘Under The Sun’ continues where ‘Do the Jazz’ finished off, Swindle once again lures you in with his trademark funk fusion only for you to be caught off guard and slapped in the face by a rave synth that would put The Prodigy to shame followed by a keyboard lick straight out of Zapp’s ‘More Bounce To The Ounce’. Finally Swindle lets loose the much talked about ‘If I Was A Super Hero’ which sounds like a collision of Prince, George Clinton and Dr. Dre on a 140 tip, Slow, low, lean back, G-funk!
October and Borai I Didnt Mean To - Palmarosa on Apple Pips at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order October and Borai I Didnt Mean To - Palmarosa on Apple Pips at www.catapult.co.uk here - With the beautiful melodic sensibility of Borais synth lines meshing with Octobers jacking body beats, they fuse to create 2 sublime slices of warm, deep, but propulsive blends of slo-mo house, techno, and bass. ‘I Didn’t Mean To’ has a Detroit techno soul feel with Bukem style bass stabs and rainforest jungle ambient noises, whilst ‘Palmarosa’ is a sure-fire set starter, taking it’s time to build with cavernous bass stabs adding drama until the heads down jacking ensues.

Survival and Ant TC1 Mode Destruction (Xtrah Moondust Remix) - Locked on Dispatch Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Survival and Ant TC1 Mode Destruction (Xtrah Moondust Remix) - Locked on Dispatch Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk here - Heres Locked which will feature on the AA of Dispatch 57, the track presents another studio collab from Survival and Ant TC1 also featuring the glorious vocals of Christina Nicola. The intro of ‘Locked’ builds up a real mood and then cuts out gradually and switches into some rather intense drums and bass whilst still maintaining a deep musical feel throughout. On the A side sees hot name Xtrah produce a devastating re-work of Ant TC1s “Mode Destruction”; hes titled this as Xtrahs Moondust remix and its a fitting title as the drop is so powerful it will probably jolt you all the way to the moon or beyond!
Break - Emperor Condenser - Network on Symmetry Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Break - Emperor Condenser - Network on Symmetry Recordings at www.catapult.co.uk here - It’s safe to say that as one of the most revered drum and bass producers putting 12s out today, Break doesn’t know how to release anything other than classic workmanship. And with the complex punch to the ears that is ‘Condensor’, the man behind Symmetry has done it again. A cinematic intro sets a desolate scene before ‘Condensor’ tucks right in to Break’s typical percussive genius. Cycles of face-scrunching complexity unwind alongside tribal, evocative vocals and bass stab caresses, with dark snatches tearing at your aural capacities and ending so abruptly you’re left wondering what the just happened. As a new producer on the scene, Emperor is making a legend’s impression. The completely eccentric and sharp flip that is ‘Network’ has been getting select airings in Break’s DJ sets for a while now, and the track ID requests have been coming in stampedes. An eccentric sample platter and a wave of whip-snapping, unpredictable break patterns roll along at a ricochet pace, showing depth and production command at a truly tantalising level. ‘Network’ confidently slides across a deep and troubling soundscape with a flair that is hard to forget, and it comes as little surprise to Symmetry that Emperor is already making waves on respected contemporaries Critical with a remix of Enei’s ‘One Chance’.

Jon Convex ft. dBridge Lied To Be Loved on 3024 at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Jon Convex ft. dBridge Lied To Be Loved on 3024 at www.catapult.co.uk here First featured track here is ‘Lied To Be Loved’, featuring the ever building vocal talents of dBridge (last seen round these parts voicing Martyn’s ‘These Words’). Diamond tipped drum programming is met with a reprise of ‘Convexations’ Moroder/Human Centipede bass, fashioned into something far more brooding and glowering here. dBridges vocal drapes it’s self over the rhythm section like a particularly unavoidable raincloud as keening synth washes and resigned harmonies build towards a disorientating tension that fragments before ever attempting to resolve. ’Zero’ snaps proceedings back into sharp clarity, with the kind of muscular Edison funk that can trace it’s lineage back to Dússeldorf via Rotters Golf Clubs, The Scene & Beat Street.
Dub Phizix Ft. Fox Never Been on Critical Music at www.catapult.co.uk
pre order Dub Phizix Ft. Fox Never Been on Critical Music at www.catapult.co.uk here A lean, stripped back percussive intro leads us to a breakdown where Fox greets us with the sickest of vocal hooks that you’ll be trying to decipher until the end. When the tribal half time break drops its time to bounce as the undulating b line rolls heavy throughout with Dub Phizix teasing with awesome drum edits and Amen shakedowns. Riddim!
