DNB France is a Country n Western label from Guatemala…. Of course it isn’t, I’m only joking, it’s a label that does exactly as it says on the tin. They are in fact the go to place to discover the very best Drum n Bass that France has to offer. They’re always scouring their lands to hunt down hidden talent that are producing Drum n Bass with a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’.

It’s clear that the scouting team have been working overtime lately as DNB France have just dropped their huge album ‘French Plates 2017′. They’re a label that does not do things by halves as they’ve lined up 30 free tracks from an incredibly talented pool of emerging producers that cover many styles of D n B with Minimal, Liquid, Soulful, Jump-up and Neurofunk all accounted for. If you’re a fan of Drum n Bass, this is your ticket to happiness!

A welcome return for a top artist and top label.

As the title hints, Lex Loofah cleverly blends the supposedly incompatible with Techno slammer ‘Yin Yang on 18 09 Records with Rorschach remix. The original sparkles with light fluttering keys juxtaposed yet in perfect harmony with the growling synths and banging beats. Rorschach hits the road for a psychedelic spin around town of a remix!!!

If you love the early 00’s DnB sound of Ed Rush & Optical, you’re gonna love Stargate Experiment, Ocularis & Shed My Skin. Self Aware’s new 3 track EP on Wicked Jungle Recs. The EP heralds a return to the full bodied analogue sound that made the 00’s Techstep sound so great back then. Self Aware demonstrates great diversity over the trio of tunes ranging from crunchy Neuro injected steppers to murky amen slammers!!!

Hoodrat gets ‘Stabby’ here meaning they make a House music track so infectious it might need a vaccine!!!

Lakvaba lets a welcome ‘Intruder’ into our speakers c/o Phunk Traxx. a dark baleful intruder who wants to lure you in with their jackin’ box of pounding drums and mind of the machine bleeps and synths. Kreisel weighs in with a subterranean barrage of unsettling sounds on the remix. A second ‘Extruder’ follows in hot pursuit to force its way into your cranium. It came, entered, assaulted and left you dancing!!!

Barber & Lunacy Sound Division come laden with fresh Techno straight from the lab, still piping hot and sounding sweet!!! ‘Crystalise’ flashes with pulses of precipitation, a sense of impending excitement that raises the heartbeat. Pounding beats and rave era synths go into the blender for this recipe for disarray, like the voice says, you might just ‘lose control!’ Copy Paste Soul get in on the remix action and it’s a case of game over!!!! Carnage in it’s best stomping boots!!!

Ultra mellow trip out and tune in beats from Eddvin. The ‘Remember EP’ features two tracks and further remixes. The title track itself saunters along in a delightfully brumous fashion. Vocals float in and out of this patchwork of blissful dreams coated in oneiric synth patterns. Dwson remixes the title track into a whirling break of dawn Deep House shuffler. ‘Sand Trip’ advances the theme of sensory experimentation as do the respective remixes by Shervaan Bergsteedt and Sand Isle’s two astral interpretations. Deeper than deep is!!!
