With a huge back catalogue of music Koma and Bones paved the way in the Nu Skool Breaks scene in the early 2000’s with hit after hit including the tune Morpheus on the TCR label. They were a three man outfit from the north west of Britain (Lancaster), comprising of the DJ’ing duo Koma & Bones (Andy Duckmanton & Chris Kirkbride) and former drum and bass producer Proteus (Jude Sebastian).

Now manned singularly by Jude Sebastian, Koma & Bones will be releasing some brand spanking new material in the near future…..

2001 was a good year for the Breaks scene, the beginnings of the highly followed Nu Skool breaks era and the emerging of familiar artists such as Rennie Pilgrem and BLIM. This set was recoreded LIVE at Groovetech Radio back in January of 2001 and showcases a lot of tunes from TCR (Thursday Club Recordings) part of which Rennie Pilgrem was the label boss and BLIM (a classically trained musician) one of it’s top artists at the time. Hope you enjoy this glimpse back into the past !

2016 has been a climatic year for Loadstar, having played the UK’s

biggest festival stages seeing them once again gear up for a string of club

releases.The anticipation is slowly growing with each fresh sonic piece of

artwork and after the critical acclamation which has followed their career

it’s easy to see why. Whether it’s the gritty basslines the guys are known

for, or the more melodic rollers which have peppered their sets recently,

they’ve stuck to a versatile soundscape and this output will be no different.

The next stepping stone in their colossal release schedule is ‘Channel

the Channel’ and ‘Encarta’. Both tracks platform quick-firing beats and the

quickly processing basslines apparent throughout the darker side of their

discography.

‘Change the Channel’ sets a precedent. Rolling forward on an

incredibly deceiving intro, one which focuses on a melody that resurfaces

at various segments, although you’re soon dropped into absolute chaos.

Reminiscent of their earlier productions, yet bringing together more

harmonious elements, you’re drawn into a sound which merges two ends

of the spectrum. Snatching hooks snare themselves within the mix, before

the track slowly begins to collect itself. A flicker of cinematic sample

breaks this down quickly, once more throwing you head first into a

smashing relay of breaks.

Bouncier and hitting harder with every kick drum, ‘Encarta’ follows

with clicking hi-hats and warbling bass notes which build with every layer.

A track that heavily relies on its build up, the track is diced up into

segments and with each part you’re thrown down a conundrum of

smashing percussion. A construction line of drums hit harder and harder

with every loop pattern and you’ll be unable to pull yourself out of the

track’s composition. It’s so tightly woven, Loadstar’s ingenious design

becomes very clear.

Igniting crowds worldwide, whether in Las Vegas or at

Glastonbury, Loadstar have returned with more fire than ever.
