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).

RELEASES

Two corking releases to brag about this week. Stazma The Junglechrist lays yet another pristine breakcore frenzy on the doorstep of Peace Off Records and The DJ Producer has just dropped his latest Third Movement release, Journeys Never End, which can only be described as a masterclass in hardcore techno. Check out the previews below and get buying...support your CORE!

Here's a couple of youtube previews of The DJ Producer's Journeys Never End EP for you to check out...




You can buy the EP from Juno HERE and keep The DJ Producer at the top of their Gabber/Hardcore chart, where he rightly belongs.

EVENTS

Just over a week to go until we unleash audio fury upon the unsuspecting Manchester public. This is our first official outing to the North of England and with MethLab warriors The DJ Producer, Undead Roniin, The Sect, Monster X and Gore Tech in tow, we expect the battle to be bloody, 'til the end. Get there early to avoid disappointment as this intimate venue will reach capacity in no time. Sound provided by the oh so very mighty Neuron rig.

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!

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.

In addition to his Signal Flow mix, you can also listen to his recent mix for Kutski's radio show here...

The Teknoist & his labels // New Releases // Tour Info

Will this man ever run out of energy?  Not fucking likely!  Miike Teknoist as been at the forefront of Hardcore and Breakcore for over a decade now and the pacemaker isn't slowing down for anyone.  To our minds, he is one of the few truly orignal artists at this end of the musical spectrum.

From his humble beginnings in "the bay," he's emerged from the shadow of such luminaries as Dolphin, Hellfish and The DJ Producer, to reinvent the genre and to show us there was more to Core than just Hard.

As well as an extensive back catalogue on classic labels such as Deathchant, Planet Mu and Ad Noiseam, including two full length albums on the latter, Miike has also driven the scene forward with his own labels Ninja Columbo, Samurai Brylkreem and Our Fucking Jungle.

In addition to his many solo releases, he has also notched up a very impressive list of collaborative projects.  Starting out in what have become classic partnerships with Dolphin and Scheme Boy (arguably the reasons for Ninja Columbos original conception), he then moved on to working with Eustachian, MacheeeN Boi, End.User, Needle Sharing and Kitech to name but a few.  Many of these collaborations are still ongoing. His full length collab with End.User and Needle Sharing is now out on Ad Noiseam after a very special launch at the 2012 Maschinenfest Festival during End.User's set.  Check the video of that one-off performance here:

His collab work and new Ableton vs decks live show with Scheme boy is now under the name of Undead Roniin. Expect new EP's very soon on both Abused Recordings and Ninja Columbo. You can catch a little preview of that project here:



So, not content with constantly pushing the boundaries of hard electronics with his solo and collaborative work and running three top notch labels, The Teknoist has also been a great ambassador for the scene worldwide, with tours all across the globe.  This week sees the start of his debut tour of Australia:
