Breakcore...at it's finest

We're happy to announce another batch of new breakcore signings to the family.

Please welcome, Ladyscraper and Dr.Bastardo!  Both artists have a long history together with their involvement with such UK crews as Wrong Music, but sonically they definitely both have their own unique sound and their own ways to rupture dancefloors across the globe.  They will also be joining Skull Vomit on Miike Teknoist's next Ninja Columbo release (due out in the next month or two).

But before we get to them, here's some news of one of our other breakcore superstars, Stazma...

Ladyscraper

Coming at you like Phil Anselmo with his cock in one hand and a canvas bag full of Gabber kicks in the other, new MethLab signing Ladyscraper alternates between beating the shit from your bowels and transporting you to lovely fairy castles surrounded by flying unicorns.

So far in 2013, Ladyscraper has released ‘The Witch’ as another free DL album on Grindcore Karaoke.  The legendary Agrophobic Nosebleed posted this about the release ‘This shit is LIGHTYEARS ahead of anything ANB has ever done musically. Grindcore is almost 30 fuckin' years old, it's nice to be listening to something that actually sounds like 2013 for a change’. Following The Witch we have the second free DL Ladyscraper Album of 2013, The Wizard, which will be landing on Rotator’s Peace off imprint late April, followed by a split on Ninja Columbo with Skull Vomit and Dr. Bastardo early summer.

He is also well known for his live practical demonstrations of techno science at events around the UK and Europe.

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.

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...
