A summer of new mixes coming your way

Hey ho folks! Summer is upon us, which means it must be mix season.   Throughout all of 2013 we will endeavour to upload brand new and exclusive mixes every week to our SoundCloud page from each and every one of our artists.  Make sure you're subscribed to our blog, twitter, facebook, mailing list, etc. as these mixes will be coming out thick and fast and we'd hate for one to pass you by.

First up is a mix from Undead Roniin, the two headed samurai that is The Teknoist & Scheme Boy. Featuring new tracks and mashups of old Ninja Columbo releases, this decks vs ableton set is just a little taster of their new show, which you can catch live on May 31st at MethLab Manchester (see below for more details).

EVENTS

MethLab Manchester - 31st May 2013 - Hosted by Sindrome

It's been 6 months since the last MethLab event in the UK and what a belter it was to!  The Neverlution Sound System really set the benchmark with that one.  You can see some video footage where they video mapped loads of MethLab visuals over the rig itself.  It was a sight to behold.  Check out the video here...

Soundtrack to that video by Scheme Boy.

So, with the benchmark well and truly set, it's time to take MethLab up to the North of England, where our good friends Sindrome will be hosting another night of audio carnage in good ole Manchester. This time the event will be powered by the mighty Neuron Pro Soundsystem, so you can expect a seriously crystal clear sound with all the weight you'd ever need.

The line up, as you've come to expect from us by now, is set to cover all angles, by artists that are at the top of their game.
Ad Noiseam's new boy wonder, Gore Tech, and his Peace Off stablemate, Monster X, will be delivering the frentic breakcore we all know and love.
Sindrome hosts Xellmode & Sixlines will be showcasing an all new live techno set, plus a splattering of bass driven noise from Drilly Wonka.
The Sect need little introduction to all you DnB heads out there.  It will be hard and techy DnB that we at MethLab just adore.
Undead Roniin (aka The Teknoist & Scheme Boy) are planning another genre bending, decks vs ableton smasher.  This summer marks ten years since these two started working together and makes this event a special anniversary for them both.
Last, but certainly not least, we have our latest signing heading up the bill.  The one and only DJ Producer of Deathchant and Rebel Scum fame.  The DJ Producer has been synonymous with hardcore techno the world over for the past 20 years.  A true creator you could say.  Well for this night we have given him free reign to play what the hell he wants and we're sure he's keen to exploit that.

All in all, another MethLab line up to make you shit your pants.  See ya down the front punx!

MethLab present.. Biological Tourfare with Gore Tech vs Skull Vomit

This April sees a true clash of breakcore titans as DJ Skull Vomit and Gore Tech go head to head in a battle across Europe. The tour will only be taking place during the last few weeks of April 2013, so get in touch asap to secure your date.

GORE TECH’s sound can be described as Ragga Deathstep utilizing the sounds of Dub, Hardcore and Dancehall crossbred with heavy metal time signatures and overdriven subsonic fusions. Influenced by everything from Electric Wizard to DJ Shadow his style is still yet to settle into an established grove. Currently focusing on the well produced styles of crossbreed and breakcore mutations, his Toxic styles of Jungle and Hardcore are tearing up dance floors all across Europe. Gore Tech's debut EP on Ad Noiseam has already got everyone itchy with anticipation. The Machine Throne EP will drop on March 11th. You have been warned!

SKULL VOMIT, aka Tony Welter has left the Eustachian name behind to concentrate on his 2 still very heavily metal influenced solo projects. One (Singaya), a dubstep driven, electronic grind scuffle and the other, (Skull Vomit) a more fast paced industrial breakcore riot. Either way, the original Eustachian blue print is still present but evolved, adapted and personalized to cover 2 very different but quite closely related bastard children. The debut Skull Vomit album was as it should always be, a monster of an album and split released on the legendary stables of Cock Rock Disco and Peace Off. An example of the sound should now start to grow in your head. Now add the imminent appearances about to drop on Deathchant, Ninja Columbo and a remix for Bong Ra on PRSPCT Records. Now you should really know what to expect. Well, expect that and then turn your expectations up to 11. Okay, now you’re close.

In anticipation of this tour, the boys have kidly done us an exclusive mix showcasing some of their latest aural assaults.  Check it out here...

In other Teknoist related news, the next Ninja Columbo will be released in the coming month. It’s a tribute EP to the label that influenced so many of todays current Core artists. No other label released as many timeless tracks that still get as much attention on turntables as even the most popular modern day label.

Titled ‘THE NINJAS DUTIFUL SALUTE TO DEATHCHANT’, the EP title explains it all…



Also just having the final touches added is his collaboration with amen savage, Smyla. Sounding like the most aggressive game of audio monster tennis in the multiverse, it is up for release by the end of March on Samurai Brylkreem. The current Samurai Brylkreem release is still available.  Give it a listen here...



If you haven't already grabbed your copy of Ninja Columbo 7 then give the previews a blast here and get ordering your copy whilst there are still a few in existence.



All these, as usual, will be distributed by www.thehardtsore.com on vinyl and mp3.

Under The Sun - Subsistenz - March 4

We've had a lot to say about this album in the past couple of months, and simply that's because it's amazing. One of the tightest sounding DnB albums we've heard in the past year, but with some unusual and nice amen rinseouts amongst the precise kick and snare experimentation going on here. You can get your pre-orders in for the vinyl and album CD pack here at Tirple Vision, and in addition to this, we're taking bookings between Feb-April for the release tour.

Stay On This Planet LP - Subsistenz - March / April

Perhaps one of the busiest and more prolific experimenters in the world of DnB, and hot off the heels of the Machine Code LP... there's also word of a new CV album set to drop suddenly in the next few months. You can probably hear some of the tracks on this forthcoming album in his most recent Ultramonics mix - which you can listen to below!



Techno Sedation (CV Remix) - Underground Promotions - Feb 25

A heavy dubstep - techno hybrid that has one of the most brutal and well designed kick drums that I've heard in recent times. A 'sedation' of Mystification original DnB piece on the flip of the record; this futuristic, primarily techno stepper, with it's smeared and twisted bass elements, is an essential purchase - you can grab it from Triple Vision here or purchase online.

The Sect Music //                         Bookings //    Jef@methlab-agency.com

Current Value - The Sect - Dean Rodell // BURN IN / GLITCH / THOUGHT MACHINES - Out Now

Another road cut in the path Berlin DnB residents' DnB // Techno // Neurofunk crossover sound. 3 of the sound's most productive and forward thinking pioneers on a single release.. and incredibly loaded slab of vinyl for this label's 2nd physical output. We're looking for promoters to put on TSM label nights across Europe currently - with successful events already underway in Bristol and Berlin... more cities need to get close and personal with this powerful form of DnB.

2methylBulbe1ol //                         Bookings //    Jef@methlab-agency.com

Your Computer is Under Arrest (2methylBulbe1ol Testify) - Acroplane - T.B.A

A faster and glitchy melodic IDM affair from 2methyl, on another great label - Acroplane. This from Stazma's Acid Bleep EP, which features more of the amazing artwork from Artist Shift.. whose logos and artwork adorn the covers of many of our favourite artists.

Cooh //                         Bookings //    Jef@methlab-agency.com

Rebirth LP - Position Chrome - T.B.A

A new full-length LP from heavy DnB legend Cooh, also featuring tracks from a selection of artists from the heavy hall of fame, including Limewax, Current Value, Counterstrike, Donny and The Panacea. Cooh continues to innovate and generate an inhuman amount of music through his various aliases... one of the most talented producers in this scene today.

Peace Off Breakcore Special: New mixes & new releases

Peace Off Records, the love child of Rotator and Satan himself, has been leading the world in Breakcore since it's conception well over a decade ago.  Alongside it's spin-off labels, such as Bang-a-Rang, Ruff, Mutant Sniper, Kamikaze Club and many more, Peace Off has released some of the scenes most classic tracks and featured such artists as Rotator (obviously), Monster X, TechDiff, Broken Note, Venetian Snares, Scheme Boy & The Teknoist, Parasite, Stazma, the list goes on and on.

At MethLab we're very proud of our close association with Peace Off and it's artists and it's Peace Off's latest signing that we're particularly proud to have on the MethLab roster.  Please welcome Manchester's very own Gore Tech!

Gore Tech's seizure inducing sound can only be described as Ragga Deathstep and utilizes the archetypal sounds of Dub, Hardcore, Dancehall and Crossbreed with Heavy Metal time signatures and overdriven subsonic force.
After recently completing remixes for Underhill, on the legendary Ad Noiseam Records and another for Llamatron on the Peace Off subsidiary, Ruff, Gore Tech is now dropping his first Peace Off vinyl with the Heretic EP, featuring a blistering remix by Rotator himself.

You can listen to previews of the Heretic EP here...


Clcik HERE to buy the Heretic EP.

Gore Tech has kindly provided us with an exclusive mix for MethLab. Click the pic below to view his artist page on our site and get downloading that mix punx!

There's also another little offering from the main man himself, Rotator. Out soon on Homicide Records.  Check out this little preview...



It wouldn't be right to mention Gore Tech, Rotator and Peace Off without also mentioning Stazma The Junglechrist, another Peace Off and MethLab artist who is currently killing it with high pressure releases and a live show causing anal prolapses all across Europe.  Having taken the early Breakcore ethos of genre mashing and amen splicing, Julien Stazma delivers his sound of Rave, Gabber, Jungle and Dub with a modern, tight production that is synonymous with the French producers these days.

His latest release is a split with another MethLab favourite, Dr.Bastardo on Miike Teknoist's new jungle label, Our Fucking Jungle.  Listen to the preview here...

The vinyl of Our Fucking Jungle 02 can be bought from The Hard Store HERE.

As well as the Peace Off store, which can be found HERE, you can also buy digitals from Stazma himself HERE.

Last but certainly not least is the one and only Monster X.  Another Peace Off mainstay and sound design master, who like Stazma, has earned himself a reputation as being a live act not to be messed with.  Sonically a Monster X set can take you from stomach churning horror ambience to twisted Techno and then ultimately to frenetic, glitched-to-fuck Breakcore  His latest release was a track on the awesome Electronic Explorations compilation, which can be found HERE.

Here's a taster of the Monster X track from that compilation...
