German duo, Wonkers and Wolfgang Lohr come together to breath new life into De La Soul’s ‘ All Good ‘ feat. Chaka Khan. De La Soul’s original track was a pure Summer groover back in the day and now Wonkers and Wolfgang have orchestrated this Deep House edit that compliments the original perfectly. Sunshine sounds all round!

The 4 tunes that make up volume Ten of Riddler Rec’s EP  series are simply massive!!!! Charlie Sezz ‘Reckoning’ is pure undiluted Speed Garage ready to whip dancefloors into a messy frenzy, Celladore ‘Power To The People’ is a deep force damager blending Garage and Deep House into snappy and hooky bass banger, Doddz ‘Pressure Release’ is a delightful 4×4 Garage roller with all the right ingredients, this leaves it to Tone 2 ‘How You Love Me (Bass Mix) to take the new Future House genre and show how its done properly with a quality DJ ZInc style house track, more essential riddims from the Riddler camp!!!

‘Born in the Echoes’ is the name of the eagerly awaited new album from the Chemical Brothers due out this summer. To whet our appetites, they have dropped the first single – ‘Sometimes I Feel So Deserted’ – a grungy, mechanical electro vibe with a dash of acid house and a stirring vocal. On the remix we welcome Future Funk Squad, upping the ante with an increased tempo and floor shaking, banging breakbeat!

Building momentum at a dizzying speed, DC Breaks’ debut LP is beginning to seep into every corner of music’s landscape. After welcoming 2015 with resounding first single ‘Faithless’, premiered by Radio1’s dance champion Annie Mac, they reiterated to the underground that they were back after finely tuning their creative prowess and opening up to an even more diverse spectrum of sound.

Presenting a multi-dimensional approach to music-making, summer anthem ‘If this is Love’ demonstrates DC Breaks’ widespread appeal. Keeping the hard-lined dynamics which made them so digestible to a drum & bass fan base, whilst creating dancefloor cross-over tracks like ‘Faithless’, this next record is the perfect follow up to solidify their title as production heavyweights.

Incorporating live percussion whilst pedestalling that driving bassline that makes DC Breaks so destructive in clubs across the globe, the guitar stroked follow up is both beautifully composed but doesn’t lack the flare which makes them so recognisable. It’s the perfect starter to the year’s fairer season; a track to dominate the sunlit airwaves as well as sets at festivals worldwide. Also having just delivered a monumental remix on both Ram Records and dancefloor pioneer Spinnin’ Records, Eelke Kleijin’s mistakes was given an up-tempo revamp which has further pushed DC Breaks into the agenda’s fore front.

And their most recent announcement, which is a slot at London’s biggest drum & bass event to date, the Ram Records stage at the iconic SW4 festival will see the duo bring their debut album to the decks. On top of headline slots at some of Europe’s biggest festivals, including Dour, with more dates exciting dates soon to be announced, all paths this year lead to DC Breaks.

Uplifting, intelligent, and just the right amount of grimey is what you get when you go Against the Grain, and MIND VOTEX did a superb job conveying that with their most recent EP earlier this month. Against the Grain, is the most recent addition to the groups discography, following Colors from just under a year ago,and it does not disappoint, nor should you expect anything that Ram Records sends to the masses.

Whether these tunes are getting you through traffic, your work day, or not even getting you through anything at all because you just enjoy good music, don’t sit on these.  In fact, I dare you to sit at all while you feed these top shelf productions to your brain.
