Out Now on Technique Recordings :https://technique.lnk.to/CStars

To say that Document One “defy categorisation” wouldn’t quite get across the whole truth. For one thing, it’s a cliché, and to use a cliché to describe their brand of gritty, smoky, jazz-inspired, funk-infused dance floor D&B just wouldn’t be right. After all, they steer well away from cliché in their music, what with their expert melding of the light and the dark, the natural and the synthetic, the laid-back and the crowd-hyping. They’ve created their own category, and the two tracks on this release are here to stretch the limits of it a couple of notches further.

Chasing Stars is the sound of effortlessness. Two different flavours of drum, the techy kick and snare plus the loose cymbals and fills, roll alongside each other in the intro. Meanwhile noodling keys and the eponymous vocal riff create a gentle head-nodding vibe. Then, without breaking a sweat, Document One call this casual jam-session to order, with a grimy bassline that weaves the whole track into a tightly-knit roller. This is dangerous rave material that you don’t see coming.

Then Get Da Funk goes one step more groovy. Yeah, groovy. That’s the word for it. Horns and acoustic drums lay down the vibe, then a Motown-style vocal soars over the top to build things up. Then the drop gives us quintessential Document One, as bass and iron st drums create a rhythmic combination with vocal and horn stabs that is absolutely irresistible. An ice-cool breakdown with added blues guitar gives the opportunity for even more hype in the second drop.

These tracks could easily be onstage recordings from some ultra-slick band. The deftly expert programming doesn’t detract from the feeling of live energy that Document One manage to get in their music. Like the best jazz or funk acts, it’s the sound of accomplished technicians letting loose and having some fun. And while they’re having fun, the ravers are too.

This is D&B as only Document One do it.

Drenched Records head honchos Grandé & Preset make their first appearance on their own label DRNCD.

They make quite the debut slamming the doors wide apart with ‘get Fucked Up’ A hedonistic Bass House ambush with thumping beats and biiiiiig bass!!!

There’s even a little throwback to the Dubstep ear with a cool drop in the middle of this track. As for the remix, Carl Shawn also makes a startling debut with an upfront and brash funky/club style take on the original

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]

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…
