New Release // The Sect Music vs. Subsistenz

An awesome collaboration of 2 of Berlins best evolved DnB labels is set for launch next Monday (6th May 2013), with some serious technoid business from the unarguable pioneers of the sound Current Value, The Sect and Machinecode. This EP represents the first of a 2 part release - with the first appearing through Subsistenz, and the 2nd through new, and uncompromisingly solid label - The Sect Music, at the end of the month. It's been an amazing year so far for releases from the Berlin DnB crew, with Machinecode's excellent 'Under The Sun' album seeing the light of day (or dark of night), the launch of The Sect's own label and the continuation of a heavy schedule of releases set for the coming months - including a new album from Current Value and further releases lined up from The Sect.  Check the previews of the release below, and get ready to order this essential wax on Monday.

New Release // Cooh - Rebirth LP

 Cooh's latest L.P. has is imminently to drop on Panacea's revered Position Chrome label, and my, my, my.. like a bag of angry demons, it's struggling at the hemlines to contain the sheer weight of the punishing DnB contained within. Rebirth features 20 tracks of tightly engineered sonic violence, and including collaborations from the likes of his brothers in the scene - Current Value, Panacea, Donny, Counterstrike and Gancher & Ruin. You can pre-order it on Position Chromes Band Camp - here and in the meantime.. here's a couple of clips to wet your appetite...

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.
