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...

Trifonic European Tour 2013 with Hecq & Underhill

We're losing track of how many of our blog posts have started with the words “ we are proud to have...” and the reason for this is that there are few other words available when letting y'all know about the amazing artists we have the good fortune to represent. Well, we now have new reason for our pride, as we have been given the honour or bringing Trifonic over to Europe from the States for their debut European tour this summer! 

Trifonic first made waves back in 2008 with their debut full length release, Emergence.  It's blend of styles, sonic tapestries, thoughtful production and real instrumentation brought electronica up to date and filled the void left wide open since the Warp Records' heyday.  

The 2012 follow up, Ninth Wave is, if anything, an even stronger record and displays a greater maturity in the composition and production.  This is hardly surprising when you consider that in the 4 year gap between albums, Trifonic built up their reputation as production masters by a series of never ending blog posts, giving away all manner of productions tips and secrets and worked on the soundtracks to a multitude of games, including the very successful Assassins Creed and Halo series.

Ninth Wave is what convinced us we had to get them over to European shores.  If you haven't heard it yet, the full album is available to preview on their Soundcloud page.

As if bringing Trifonic over to Europe wasn't exciting enough, we have also been fortunate enough to secure Ad Noiseam favourites Hecq and Underhill as main support options for this tour. Ad Noiseam is undoubtedly one of our favourite labels and the majority of our roster has released on it at some point in their career. Adding Hecq and Underhill to the roster for this tour just seemed like the most natural thing in the world.

If you haven't heard the Hecq remix of Trifonic's Baalbek yet, then you need to re-address your priorities in life!  Have a listen now, it's incredible...

Underhill is perhaps one of the first supergroups of the modern dub infused electronica sound, of which we at MethLab are no strangers. The group comprises of Dean Rodell, Current Value and Cooh, who are already known to you from the MethLab roster. They are also joined by Mc Coppa and Martina Astener and on occasion by Nick and James from Senser.

Their debut album “Silent Siren” was released in 2012 on Ad Noiseam records to rave reviews. It's fusion of dub, trip hop, drum & bass and lush soundscapes makes it one of those records that gets more beautiful with every listen.

You can watch the official video of their Hiding The Light track here...

We are now taking bookings for Trifonic across Europe with Hecq and/or Underhill as main support.  Get in touch asap to secure this amazing tour package for your festival/event.

Underhill Album Incoming on Ad Noiseam

The awesome Underhill, of which one of our own - Cooh/Balkansky is a part of... is scheduled to release a full length E.P. on the ever-reliable Ad Noiseam label. We hold the music of Underhill very close, and from the sounds of their Soundcloud bio - their ideas about bringing together influences from the DnB, Metal and Techno scenes are very close to our own...


 "Underhill is the alien love child of Subdivision Media - bringing some of the DnB, Techno & Metal scenes elite together to collaborate in a project that fuses all styles into a fine blend of dubby beats"

You can check out a couple of teasers for their upcoming album and a video-shooting for one of the tracks of the album below - big-up to the Underhill massif!
