Ruffhouse
Consisting of members Pessimist, Vega and Cooper, Ruffhouse are amongst the hottest property in modern drum & bass. With a timeless sound, bridging classic aesthetic together with cutting edge production values, Ruffhouse are quickly carving out their own groove within bass music.
Dropping their debut 12” for Alignment Records in the form of “Pellet” and “Classified”, Ruffhouse are setting the bar high. Like it’s namesake would suggest, “Pellet” is an armour piercing dance floor smasher. Echoing classic Virus sound of the 90’s with an edge and vibe that could only be found in 2012.
“Classified” delivers the goods in the form of drone bass yearnings and clinical percussive drum hits. Sonically stealthy with all the muscle to shake the speakers. An apt flipside to “Pellet” making this 12” a certified club favourite amongst dBridge, Loxy, Doc Scott and Skeptical.

Data & K2 - Termination
Via Data: "As we approach the launch of Adapt, it seemed only fitting that we continued our line of free tracks with 'Termination'. This project between K2 and myself focused on using samples as base 'waveforms' and transforming them into usable sounds for the track. For example, the metallic drone in the intro has been created from a piece of orchestral music. This has been achieved by using a combination of spectral and granular techniques, as well as pitchshifting and other frequency modulations. Combined with an abstract, relentless assassin step, and menacing, cyborg bass!"

Podcast 264: DJ Stingray's New Forms Mix
Summer may be rapidly coming to a close, but the global onslaught of high-quality electronic-music festivals continues without respite. This week, attentions are turning toward Vancouver, which is playing host to the annual New Forms Festival, four-day art and music event with a lineup featuring XLR8R favorites such as Actress, Kode9, Canblaster, Kuedo, Teebs, Pilooski, Kevin McPhee, and others too numerous to list. We asked the New Forms organizers if one of the festival artists would like to put together an exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series, and we have to admit that we were pretty excited when we were told that Detroit veteran DJ Stingray was up to the task. A master of hard, stripped-down electro and techno, the masked artist—an affiliate of Urban Tribe and Underground Resistance—stays true to form here, blazing through more than 20 tracks of gritty electro breakbeats and drum-machine-driven sounds. With his rapid-fire rhythms and lightning-quick mixes, Stingray has built a podcast that offers an unrelenting, even uncompromising listen, not to mention a tracklist that will undoubtedly work Discogs regulars into a tizzy. It's dark, minimal, fast, and nearly devoid of melody, but it manages to be completely compelling all the same.

This week’s FACT mix comes from Ben Westbeech’s Breach alias. Westbeech, a Bristol-born musician who’s collaborated with the likes of Mosca and T. Williams and held court as one of the UK’s most respected house producers for the last half a decade or so, has contributed a FACT mix before – in 2010, to toast the arrival of his second album There’s More to Life than This - but with the recent announcement of his new label, Naked Naked, we decided to ask him back for round two, this time under the guise of his bullet-proof alter-ego (responsible for 2010′s incredible ‘Fatherless’ single).

Ingredients Records
Former chef and now owner of Ingredients Records out of the UK, Clive Psylence is also the director and artist agent at Evolution Artists, responsible for booking tours of top-flight drum & bass DJs like veteran junglists Total Science to young upstart Villem.
While Clive may claim his cooking is miles better than his jokes, the 37-year-old's tastes in music cannot be faulted. Since forming Ingredients in 2009, the label has made a name for itself for its consistent quality, releasing music from brand new artists Skeptical, Jubei, Koto and Sato, amongst others.
On Sept 17 2012, the label will release the Mise En Place EP (pronounced [miz on plas], French for "putting in place") made up of a remix by dBridge, a remix of Foreign Concept by Villem and two originals by Mark Recoil & Kinetic and Stealth & Stylus.
Ahead of that release, Clive took time out of his busy schedule to answer some pressing questions. He also tells us of his dream - to produce the first drum & bass themed cook book. Read on...
Ingredients Records had its first release in 2009 and has since made a name for quality drum & bass. What drove you to start the label in the first place?
I had been into this scene since around 1991 & tried a few avenues to work within it including DJ'ing & production but it clicked one day that i felt my strengths lay in A & R so I decided to start Ingredients.
It's worked out well and I think it's been a combination of good music and a refreshing approach to running a label. I was willing to put out music by anyone who i felt was writing good music, wasn't deterred by lack of profile & also Itreated the producers with respect. I educated them on the whole process including taking them to mastering at Metropolis. I think my reputation was good & I got an abundance of people wanting to be on the label.
Indeed, Ingredients has become a platform for breaking some of the best new producers around right now - Dub Phizix, Jubei and Mode being a few names to first gain notice via your label. Why take that risk and how do you manage to keep the quality so high?
Well it has worked out to be the case, and is something i really value. I can't take all the credit but I've certainly played my part in the progression of a load of new producers & the reason I do it is genuine. I felt the genre needed more labels taking risks, it was very hard for new guys to break in and some of them are really talented, so i wanted to put energy into that side of it all & try to make people realise just how much good drum & bass was getting over looked.
Uncovering raw talent is definitely a commitment. Do you spend a lot of time listening to demos? What's the process behind deciding on a release?
Yeah I'd say that's been the key part really, actually listening to it all. But you have to believe in your own decisions and I go through an elimination process until i get from say 100 demos to 10, then it's where i decide if to proceed with any of them or scrap the lot. I won't tell you what I'd look out for as that'd be giving away my secret, but one word i'd use is 'longevity'.
At one point there was a focus on more of the ‘minimal’ half step styles on your label. Did it worry you, being pigeonholed that way?
Yes it did, but drum & bass does go in waves and you couldn't escape the amount of minimal that was being made. I signed one 12" by Mode & it opened the flood gates! But my interpretation of minimal may be different to others, i wouldn't say Skeptical & Dub Phizix is minimal for example. I also signed tracks by Dub One & dRamatic & dbAudio to keep away from that bracket and everything i was releasing was selling similar units so I felt the fan base was just believing in the label.
These days Ingredients is often cited as one of the best new labels at the moment. Looking back, what do think is the secret behind your label's success?
Is it? I've not really ever felt that, although I'm obviously loving the music I sign & to be honest i don't play much other drum & bass tunes in my sets. As i said earlier, i do look for longevity in the tunes, try not to sound like from a particular era but i think involving people from the artists to the consumers has played a big part in it's momentum.
That said, I'd never felt any pressure because i was just getting sent so many good tunes. But it did eventually come when i released Skeptical's 'Blue Eyes EP' That record is so amazing, it made me realise i needed to follow that. But i stick to the same principles of releasing music I think is good and not looking at who is doing well in the sales charts & all that carry on.
Your upcoming release certainly seems like an ambitious project...
Yeah well I was originally going to do a 2nd Recipe Book album, but i looked at how many d&b albums were coming in the next 3-6 months I just thought the concept of the album was getting a bit rinsed out! So we decided to pick out 8 of the best tunes i had & release over 2 EPs. I'm really excited about both of them especially the Kinetic & Mark Recoil tune, that's Ingredients down to a tee.
What else have you got lined up for Ingredients for the rest of 2012? Any full length projects in the pipeline?
Up after the EP is the 1st Ruffhouse 12" - The Foot / Bypass in October, then it's a 12" from arguably one of the best d&b producers of the last 10 years Marcus Intalex in November. That will be followed by another Ruffhouse 12' (new outfit signed exclusively to Ingredients) in December & 'Mise en place pt2' around January.
Now to the million dollar question, one of the most distinguishing features of each Ingredients release is the recipe card. It is a well known fact you were a chef previously but what made you decide to include receipes in your releases in the first place?
Yeah that idea came from a chat with Breakage. I told him the label name and he suggested putting a recipe on the sleeve, which was too expensive so the idea was adapted! But the point of it really was to get people to notice the label. So many of them around, the music is fairly deep compared to many so what could make it stand out, because the music was good, so the recipes did the trick. Sadly i stopped them from RECIPE022 due to cost and the fact it was so hard getting the producers to do them!
Mind you, Jubei's lamb shanks were really good! But I don't want to upset anyone haha. But some day, I i will do a recipe book one day including all the d&b artists that contributed, will be great to look back on, especially for those doing really well now too.

Octane & DLR
Since 2010, Octane & DLR (otherwise known as Chris & Jay) have been blinding the drum & bass massive worldwide with a selection of dance floor destroyers released on top notch labels like Renegade Hardware, Run DNB, Audio Tactics and of course initially and most regularly on Dispatch Recordings.
For the last 12 months however, this intrepid duo have been slaving away in their studio, compiling their debut album Method in the Madness (out on Sept 10 2012 via Dispatch Recordings) which is now complete and ready to be unleashed.
Even though the duo are busy putting the finishing touches on the long awaited debut, the self proclaimed "boy band" from Leeds take time out to answer some questions in this exclusive interview, as they tell us about an album that was conceived through "finding sounds, recording and arguing". Read On.
1) Let's start at the very beginning, for those unaware of all things Octane & DLR, can you introduce yourselves please?
Hello, we're Chris (Octane) and J (DLR). We make up the boy band Octane & DLR!
2) How long have you been working on this project?
We both worked solo for years before hooking up. We had our first release in 2010 as Octane & DLR and we haven't looked back - actually, that's a lie. We regularly look back and think, 'why on earth!?' haha!
3) What are some of the inspirations behind this album?
This is a question that seems unanswerable to us. We've never listened to a piece of music and thought, 'I want to sound like that'. It's not something intentional, we've both just had that view on music, even before we met. I guess all we can say is that every piece of music we've ever listened to has influenced us in some way.. The album, specifically, was influenced only by a need for us to explore what we love about all music.
4) This being your debut album - was there anything you were keen to do or avoid, music wise?
We were keen to show all of our colours but also avoid alienating people and each other.. Both of us can have differing opinions on 'What's right'. I think we had around 32 or 33 tracks that were all potentially great in their own way and it took a lot of debate (arguing, pulling hair, adding laxatives to coffee etc.) for us to agree on a lot of the material. Having Ant TC1 as a mediator really helped out and kept us focused on the bigger picture.
5) Collaborations (with Schematic, Break, Gusto to name but a few) are aplenty on this debut. What's the process of approaching producers for a beat?
Being in the industry and meeting a lot of people naturally leads to collaboration I think. Sometimes just as a pastime after a gig we might write a beat with a producer that lives nearby. Most hook ups either don't get finished or even if they do, they're in the bag to DJ with and not planned for release. . The collabs on this album are with great friends of ours and they're all hugely talented in their own right. There wasn't really an approaching process for what we wanted to do, we had music we'd written or part written with other artists and these are just the tracks that made it to the final track list because we were really proud of them.
6) Were anyone else you wanted to collaborate but were unavailable? Any dream collaborators for Octane & DLR out there?
Not really, I think there's a few select artists who we feel we have built a great working relationship with that we'll continue to work with but we are locking down more towards solo projects (as Octane & DLR) again.
7) Were there any specific sounds or beats that inspired you while making this album?
We did a lot of live recording in the album. Some of the musicians and vocalists we've worked with really helped make ideas come to life. We've both got a very technical edge to our writing and when you have a musician with a completely different mindset in the studio, new, fresh sounds really build the vibe. Very similar to a good collaboration track!
8) So, what we some of the maddest moment when it came to putting this album together?
Finding sounds, recording, arguing. The whole process was unplanned. The album is like an illegitimate child!
9) 17 tracks is quite a lot for an album. How many tracks did you record for the project? Tell us more about the recording process.
We started with a lot more. I remember looking in our project folder for new ideas for new tracks and realised there were so many good, unfinished things that we should go in and try to make use of what's there. It turned out we had enough material to probably turn into an album. Some of the tracks had been there for upto a year with loads of work already put in, some just little sketches. In any case pretty much everything got rewritten and most of it ended up not making the final album but that's how the project got started. We drafted in musician friends so we could record drums, sax, vocals, guitars and a load of obscure things and the project slowly built itself.
10) What about your favourite moments from the album or recording - could you clue us in on that as well?
There was no better feeling than that of relief when the masters went off! By the end of the project we'd worked so hard on it for so long we just wanted to find the endpoint. Plus the amount of time we spent writing the album, we had very little income. It has been a really tough journey. So tough that DLR moved to London!!
11) What's next for Octane & DLR - more gigging, albums or locking yourself in a room, glad the debut album horror is over?
We've had a little rest from writing so intensely although we've got a few remixes on the go. The next step for us is releasing the album and building our performance as DJs to a more unique show. We've got gigs and festivals and possible tour plans coming up and a few special singles to come before the end of the year so things are still quite busy. Too busy to even think about a second album just yet!

To celebrate the release of Bulb's latest EP Buried Future (out now), Silk Recordings has given away something truly special. Download and prepared to be blissed out.
dBridge - 5 hour set [Fabriclive from 3rd August 2012]
Via Everyday Junglist: In the ever crowded digital world of infinite musical choice that we live in it is almost unheard of to hear such a long set outisde of the realms of German techno clubs. Drum and bass particularly has for a long time been guilty of not allowing DJ's time and space to express their artform, instead chosing to cram as many names onto line ups in the vain hope of attracting bigger crowds and more hype.
Thankfully there are some lonely bastions out there flying the flag in the face of adversity and a couple of weeks ago, standard bearer of the scene dBridge took the bull by the horns in Fabric's third room for a five, yes five hour set! When you consider the quality of his DJ sets that range from groundbreaking mid 90's dnb through to the wonkiest of contemporary electronica and everything in between, this was surely not one to be missed.
Duely understood by somebody, the set was streamed live online and some brave soul made the effort to record the whole thing!

Blu Mar Ten - Love is the Devil Remixes
The third and final installment of the Love is the Devil Remixes is out today, featuring reworkings from Spearhead Records boss BCee and Ukrainian boy wonder Sunchase. Accentuating the original’s choral and melodic components, Bcee blends a brand new vocal line into shimmering synths and melancholy keys, underpinning it all with his trademark ultra-warm bass work and loping breaks sprinkled with vinyl crackle. Meanwhile, Sunchase takes Damage in a significantly darker and direction, piling growling bass on top of growling bass before lashing out the breaks. Whispering voices haunt the breakdown before giving way to dark metal stabs and a frenetic drop to die for.Excellent reworkings both of them, this is one for the collection. Go seek.

Bad Education - Resilient / Urchin / All Night Long (Northern Lights VIP)
Audio Warfare are proud to present Bad Education’s first full release ‘Resilient’/’Urchin’ teamed with the frankly excellent ‘All Night Long’ (Northern Lights VIP).
The hypnotically encapsulating rhythms of ‘Resilient’ showcase a different sound to that previously championed by the Leeds-based imprint, but fused with a half-time blend of tribal yet futuristic soundscapes, proves to be a winning combination; guaranteed to draw you in and get you hooked on first play.
The single will be out on Aug 20, 2012 at the usual outlets. Go seek.
