X-Ray Ted has cruised his way past 5,000 followers on Soundcloud and in doing so he’s released this free rework of ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ by the Mighty Dub Katz. For this one he’s beefed up his beats and shipped in a load of filth to produce a massively squelchy slab of Glitch Hop. Dang this one’s heavy!

Josephs Perception returns to Physmatics with a bag of delightful D&B grooves, Four to be exact collectively entitled the ‘Love & Justice EP’.

We jump on the boogie train for the psychedelic 70s funk fest of ‘Love & Justice’, before stopping in stylish, classic V Recordings style territory on the rollin’ ‘Get Up’. ‘

Roll Up’ combines Hip Hop, Jazz, Techstep and a bit of oldskool Jungle all neatly tied up into a potentially massive crossover riddim.

We arrive at our final destination with ‘So High’, the composite of snarling dark riffs and super mellow deep chords of this closing track bear the hallmarks of musical brilliance.

Superior D&B production from one of the scene’s true talents.
Physmatic’s 36th release drops Worldwide September 12th 2016

JOSEPHS PERCEPTION LOVE & JUSTICE EP [Physmatics]

We caught up with Cadence Recordings boss and all round awesome guy Ste Gould to talk about the amazing forthcoming DnB compilation ‘Project 15’…..

Tell us about the concept behind Project 15

Project 15 as a concept was born after celebrating 15 years in the business.

The idea was to represent the different shades of d&b through a selection of artists on our roster from the past present and future. All artists submitted a piece with the aim of encapsulating what Cadence as a label stood for and their take on things sonically.

Where would you say is the ideal place to listen to this gorgeous album?

Well, it’s pretty wide open to be honest..the feedback we’ve received Is that it’s perfect to drive to relax to or obviously dance to. The release is typically deep and emotive.

I’d say it’d work perfectly as a soundtrack to a late nite round a campfire whilst stargazing or watching the sunrise over the beautiful ocean but hey I’m a contemplative hippy

How would you describe the overall sound and feel of the album?

Well from a personal perspective project 15 is very close to my heart as I patiently compiled it over 3 years choosing each track carefully after working through the submissions…my aim was the same as always to release what I love and emotionally connect with from genre or micro niche haha!

…it’s a niche as opposed to an obvious dancefloor weapon but saying that it really does have the yang tang thing going on…deep beautiful and emotive but equally furious in places with well placed faithful amen breaks to ignite the dancefloor. Like all good albums track order and selection is key and it really can make the difference between a good and a superior listening experience.

What’s next for Cadence Recordings

We have plenty of new releases in the pipeline keep an eye out for new artists appearing on Cadence as well some new material from artists already on the roster. Keep an eye open for the return of the different perspective mix series.

There’s Lots to look forward to.

Any final words and shout outs?

Final shout outs are tricky so rather than list a massive load of names and risk forgetting anyone I’d like to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who is a part of the music we all love. Our musical family from the people behind the labels continuing to push things forward, the talented artists to the fans the DJs and the deep thinkers. Music unites us always…a shout out must go to Jay le roc the legend that brought so many of us together. Always in our hearts. One love

Thanks to Ste for a great interview. You can check out a full review of ‘Project 15′ via our good friends at DnBMuzik

Project 15 On Cadence Recordings will be out on 26/08/2016

Cadence Recordings Head Honcho Talks about The Amazing New Project 15 Compilation

Dj XS has impressed us massively with the tunes of his we’ve blogged and much of his older stuff too. So when we see a mix of his titled ‘Golden Era of Hip Hop’ pop up, the intrigue was instant, if anything just to see what makes this dude tick. He’s clearly not missing a beat because his mix is filled to the brim with stone cold classics that Hip Hip heads just cannot do without. Time to take a trip down memory lane ladies and gents…

L.A based, Friskie Business, has been spinning tunes and creating tracks since the late 90’s and, when it’s on, you can find him at Burning Man on the ‘Charlie the Unicorn’ art car, where he takes a regular spot behind the decks to deliver heaps of Funk for the party hungry burners to get down to.

One track that we’re very sure would have fitted in perfectly there this year, is his incredible edit of a remix by Clozee of ‘Baiana’ by, Barbatuques. Friskie is a huge admirer of the original and when the chance came around where he could put his spin on it, so he could drop it in his sets, he jumped on it! Where so pleased he did because the outcome of this tribal influenced Funky Breaks edit is a spine tingling piece of genius. Sample and see!

This isn’t the newest tune from Friskie Business, but it had to shared, simple as that really. Hit the links below to find even more of his music.

New York based, Spira Music, is a label that is quite simply more productive than a warren full of rabbits. The rate they release music at is mind boggling and it’s quite a mission to keep up with their many quality free tunes they offer up. This one by Swiss producer, Ufuk K, caught our attention though amongst the sea of class, and we’re sure it will do yours to. Although Spira Music predominantly pushes some of the best House music around, Ufuk K’s ‘Deal On The Road’ is all out Breakbeat with a funky Bboy twist. Shapes will be made to this, that we can be sure of!
