“We wanted the fabric CD to be like the best podcast we’ve ever done. That was our aim. When we were asked to do it, we approached all the people making music we love, and asked them to write us something special for the CD. Distance, Scuba, Genotype, myself and Instra:mental all did it. It’s a great collection of music, harmonically it all works together; and as much as we have different styles, you’d be surprised what tunes stick together just from being in key. We wanted to showcase what it is that we’re doing, and what the sound is capable of.” – dBridge

Fabricfirst members will be get this from 1st February 2010, with the CD available on general release worldwide from 15th February 2010.

This weeks New Releases..

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

A excerpt of “the wordy bit” from this weeks realease mailer, if you live in NZ and are a Dubstep or Drum n Bass head drop us a line to sign up.

Plenty of quality releases on the sheets this week. The 2562 album is of particular note. We have put together a night “Dubstyle BBQ” happening this Friday at Supper Club would be great to see you all there. Flyer attached, facebook event page is here.

We recommend 2562’s ‘Unbalance’ CD/LP on Tectonic. Blending the sonic barriers between Dubstep and whatever. Wicked stuff.

Tectonic boss Pinch says: “I’ve worked closely with 2562 over the last few years and I can honestly say that Unbalance is an incredible album – it’s one of the most exciting releases that Tectonic has seen to date - it vastly exceeds the already high standard he set himself with Aerial.”

Check 2562’s FACT podcast here.

On the deep tip Quest “The Unknown” on Deep Medi Musik is getting lots of play round our way. Wedge & Shadz Running Away b/w the Guido remix is also with a listen. Ital Tek also comes through with ‘Mako EP’ for the launch of his Atom River label. Check previews and a free download of one of the tracks here: http://www.atomriver.co.uk/
Omitted from last week’s mention was F & Headhunter ‘Night Drive / Dedale’ on Headhunter’s new label Transistor, more info here.

Wobblers will want to check the new Hench promo of Chasing Shadows ‘Ill / Amirah’ as well as Emalkay’s big tune “When I Look at You” on Dub Police. I’d also recommend Kutz ‘Glithcy Finger / Twilight Zone’ on N-Type’s Wheel & Deal Records. All 3 are finish copy promos. Lots of Caspa and Rusko restocks at the bottom of the mailer too.

Jungle step is here to stay and check Cluekid & LD are leading teh way. Check “I Don’t Wanna Cry” on Cluekid’s Bullfrog Beats label.

Roots steppers should check out 3 promo releases in particular: Kion & Murda Ft. Junior Murvin ‘Number 1 Sound / Tes La Rok Remix on Little Island Records [ Audio Link ]. MRK 1’s ‘X-Tatic / Moving Toad’ on Contagious Music and Mungos Hi Fi Ft. Earl 16 / LD ‘International Roots (LD Remix) on Dub Police Records and as featured in N-Type’s Rinse 09 mix.

Drum n Bass crew will want to know about the vinyl release of Alix Perez’s ‘1984′ LP on Shogun Audio. Also wicked to see Consequence’s ‘Live For Never (LP Sampler)’ - his debut release on the forward-thinking Exit Recordings. Digital & Outrage’s joint ‘Red Letter’ LP on Function is definitely a project worth checking. Sub Focus also has his self titled LP released on Ram Records. Liquid crew will want to check the new Calibre on Signature as well as Zero T & (ex pat Kiwi) Mosus Ft. Spikey T on Liquid V.

Mix CD wise there is DJ Marky and friends present: Makato mix.

Consequence LP forthcoming on Exit Records UK

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

NZ DnB export Consequence has the release party for his forthcoming LP in Melbourne next weekend. The LP sampler is out as of last week on Exit Records (EXIT 017), the LP is due for release later this month. Consequence will also be playing at the Phat 10 New Years Eve festival along with Exit Records boss D Bridge.

 Polaroid are proud to present the global launch for the debut album ‘Live for Never’ from New Zealand drum & bass artist Consequence. Released in October on Exit Records this album crosses all sonic boundaries, featuring collaborations with dBridge, Instra:mental & ASC.

“I aimed to create music that doesn’t fit the usual mould of drum & bass, yet has its ties and influences from it,” says Consequence. “When listening to the LP in its entirety, I hope that listeners will be given an insight into the way I see my surroundings. Maybe people can relate, everyone shares certain similarities in the way they feel about their life and what makes them feel certain emotions.”

The launch party takes place on Friday 9th October with Consequence, MC LowQui, Joe Seven and Dust at Miss Libertine, 34 Franklin Street, Melbourne, Australia. $10 b4 11pm / Members. $15 after 11pm.

Dubstep DJ Seven

Dubstep Producer/DJ Seven is making serious waves in the London scene right now. He has recently been included on the latest Why Not? line up alongside 30 of the world’s top Dubstep acts. With releases on the Tempa Allstar series (Siren) and Aquatic Lab (Drop / The Darkness) as well as Siren and the soon to be released Dark Passenger being included on Skream’s acclaimed Watch The Ride Mix CD Seven is definitely making all the right moves and laying down some blazing sets as he makes his mark on the Dubstep sound. Seven’s tunes are currently receiving DJ support from N-Type, Youngsta, Benga and Skream as well as regular play on Mary Anne Hobbs Radio 1 show and the legendary Rinse Fm.

 With forthcoming material on Shy Fx’s Digital Soundboy, another release on Aquatic Lab, not too mention a covert signing to Chase & Status’s brand new label things are certainly shaping up for one of London’s most sought after producer / DJ talents.

Downstairs will be the resident Dubstep Alliance DJs OoGuN, Seeka, Manaia Toa, Supper Club resident Jason George and a little later some propa jump around DnB vibes from the Upseta.

Yardcore 2 Flyer

Hey a cupley nights on this Friday that are defo worth checking.. Fucking Yardcore in its second mutation and now at the Rising Sun will feature some Dancehall goodness early in the night from Jah Praise then a feature Jungle and Tech Step mashup from Niche and Manaia Toa before easing ya through with some fresh Dubstep from Phil O (among other selectors). The regular drumandbass.co.nz monthly night at Coherant on K’Rd was meant to feature a set a liquid goodness from the one like DJ Kritical this month but due the sad circumstance of him taking his own life just two weeks ago it will now feature a studio mix of his in reverence before the headline set from Christchurch’s Urban Notion crew. I’m sure there will be a big massive in attendance to see the one like Kritical out in style. Looking ahead there is the Kiwiburn festival (inspired by the legendary Burning Man held in Nevada, USA) upcoming February 1st-4th at Whakamaru Domain, Mangakino and the Splore bi-annual festival upcoming February 8-10th at Tapapakanga Regional Park, Orere.
