Arje is a largely unknown, though talented and creative producer/DJ located in Darmstadt in Germany. In his productions he focuses on atmospheric, melodic and beautifully musical Drum & Bass. So far he has released two tunes on two different CD compilations on Red Mist Recordings, one tune on a digital compilation on ASC’s label Covert Operations and two tunes on his own netlabel “Beataddiction” which he runs together with fellow producer/DJ kr4y from Bristol in England.
Mefjus is already known from the very first release on Internet Recordings; Bowser is a fellow DJ/producer whom he often works with (amongst other shared projects they have an EP with some of their many collaborations forthcoming on Mindtech Recordings). Recently, they made two neuro/techfunk influenced remixes for the 2 years label anniversary remix competition of Influenza Media (a liquid funk label). Naturally that competition was won by artists who made midrange-free liquid funk remixes, fitting the label stylewise. These will come out on Influenza Media in the course of 2010. But even though Mefjus and Bowser did not win, their remixes are way too good to remain unreleased. So, with friendly permission of Influenza Media, they are hereby given to the world as free downloads. Enjoy!
Acid_Lab is a Drum & Bass producer from Palatinate in Germany. He is into a lot of different styles and subgenres (Techstep, Drumfunk, Liquid…) and has loved Drum & Bass since the 90s. He even started producing back then but had his debut release one decade later, in 2008. It came on the infamous Drum & Bass netlabel Darkland and was widely overlooked. Since then he has gathered a list of releases on T-FREE, Basswerk and Basswerk Files, Black Hoe, Darkstep.org and most recently Syncopathic and Break-Fast Audio. Today his tunes are played by heavyweight artists such as Equinox, Gremlinz, Loxy and Ink; and more of his tunes are forthcoming on labels such as Golden Age and Urban Poetry.
I got a brandnew release on Internet Recordings, a label which stands for the experimental side of Drum & Bass music. Keep the underground alive and don’t give a f*** about the mainstream.
“Fallen Angel” is a dark and sinister tune, with haunting pads and different oldschool breaks, don’t forget to mention the deep and pounding bassline.
“Nuclear War” represents the harder sound. Metallic snares combined with distorted basslines are the order of the day here.
Two very different tunes, check them out and keep dancing. Drum & Bass is the only way out here.
