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.

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.

Latest DnB signings and fresh mixes // KITECH & FREQAX

With every new signing to the roster, we always say how proud we are to have them join us, the reason being is, that we are. We've been honoured to have the best names in the industry become part of the MethLab family and to help us push quality and diversity into raves all over the world.

Our two latest signings are no exception.  After pushing the DnB boundaries for years, please welcome to the family, the UK's Kitech and Romania's Freqax.



Declan Knapp aka Kitech is a young UK producer & DJ, focusing on the harder side of Drum & Bass. Since starting DJing in 2000, Kitech moved on to producing music in 2005 and found his love for dark drum & bass, taking inspiration from the likes of Tech Itch, Raiden, Black Sun Empire, Current Value & more. 

With an ever-growing number of releases on labels such as Freak, Obscene & newcomers Mute:8, Kitech is still pushing the harder sound, but also focuses on the melodic values of the music. Kitech has worked along side Freak boss man Dylan and created an albums worth of killer tracks with him. He has also recently put out a new heavyweight crossbreed single with our own MethLab family favourite, The Teknoist on the Samurai Brylkreem imprint. 

Kitech has already played at some of the world renowned Therapy Sessions around Europe as well as in its London birthplace and is now taking worldwide bookings through MethLab.

For the last few years Freqax has been a great representative of Europe's underground dark/industrial DnB scene and has left a trail of destruction in clubs and festivals in his wake.

In 2009 they (originally a duo, but now just down to one guy, Adrian Andrei) released their debut track, The Axe, on Algorythm Recording's Scatter compilation, which was well received and has been relentlessly abused in clubs by the likes of Counterstrike and the Nekrolog1k crew.  This was quickly followed by a split with our very own Katharsys on Sinuous Audio.

2010 saw their debut release on the mighty PRSPCT imprint with the World In a Box EP, which saw them take the new Crossbreed sound to the next level.

Now on his own in 2012, Adrian has been pushing himself and the releases to the max with a return to Algorythm Recordings for a 4 track EP called The Pit and a split with Switch Technique on Yellow Stripe Recordings.

Freqax have some more drum and bass, dubstep and hardcore releases forthcoming, so keep your eyes open for more.
