Calibre's second installment of "Vault" beats.
 Dominick Martin aka Calibre, has been responsible for some of the seminal tracks in drum and bass history and continues to drop jaws worldwide with his sublime and sultry productions. This compilation, on either 2CD or 4 x 12'' is a journey through stone cold classics and hidden gems from the Calibre vaults, while taking in some new material along the way. Soulful drum & bass, which draws on elements of dub, techno, jazz, soul, funk and more! The fact that his catalogue is strong enough to support a second retrospective release is testament to Calibre’s unique talent as a producer.

Survival's fresh new long player on D-Bridge's stable.
 Having been a familiar name in many of Drum n Bass’s top flight DJs tracklistings recently, you could be forgiven for thinking that Survival is a new artist. This is most certainly not the case. In fact Steve Kielty has been involved in both producing and engineering since the inception of Drum n Bass back in 1993/94 when he kicked off his musical career as a studio engineer, Around this time he paired up with Roy Mcabe under the guises of Akustic Research/Banaczech and released tunes on two very prolific labels of their time, Vinyl Addiction and Partisan Recordings between 1995 and 2003. From there he took a short break from producing and worked as a Studio Manger for West Row studios until 2005 when he re-emerged as a solo artist under the alias Survival. With a recent plethora of well received releases on labels including Creative Source, Exit Records, DNAudio, Quarantine, Play Music ..more |

Barcodes:5060157039921 / 5060157039938
Release Date : April 20 2009
"It all happened so fast. Within the space of about three weeks I had received three tracks from an artist that I vaguely knew. Three Drum & Bass / Hip Hop hybrid tracks that sounded so fresh, so accomplished and so professional, I instantly had to call and ask them to make an album. To me its something you would think should have been done long before. Especially considering the marriage of MC’s and DJ’s within the Drum & Bass scene, but for whatever reason it was only until hearing these three tracks that I realized that it could be done properly. The Raw Truth is an album that leans towards being many things, Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, R’n’B, even Dubstep but what ..more |

I always like to think my stuff is 'music for a warm but rainy day' You know, low frequencies do something to your muscles when you listen to them. There have been studies of low frequencies contracting your muscles, and because they contract certain muscles you have the urge to move, you know, to get rid of that itchy feeling in your arms and legs. So that would be a reason to dance. I grew up in Eindhoven, and lived in Rotterdam for five years, both cities are techno and drum & bass strongholds in Holland, so I am quite sure this has influenced me. Especially Eindhoven, which back in the day had ties with many Chicago and Detroit artists through labels such as Djax and Eevolute, and various clubs and DJs in ..more | |
