SBM Shouts - Blissful layering and deep rolling

Some well-deserved shouts from the deep dark Drum and Bass camp are in store, along with a catchy little chillout number from Inanna.

Rameses B - Memoirs

It’s advised that if you haven’t yet heard of Rameses B you get right down to his Soundcloud page. His deep Drum and Bass sounds often combine strong sub-bass sounds and dreamy layers which will take your imagination.

One of his personal tracks, Memoirs ticks all the boxes for the quality of this artist’s style. With ambient layers and low down bass, Memoirs features a stunning, angelic female vocal, heightening it further.

Inanna - Cariad

Cariad moves in gently with melodic chimes as Inanna works in a laid back beat line and an ominous top layer. As the track continues the soundscape opens up with a wonderful rich synth heavy melody which compliments the chimes perfectly. Out now on Dubporn records this is well worth the investment.

High Frequency - Over again

High Frequency has started to make waves with the tracks they are currently putting out. The duo put out a range of Drum and Bass pieces from dark and minimal to liquid rollers. Their current remix of Blu Mar Ten – All or nothing is being completely rinsed on soundcloud.

Another High Frequency track to get your ears on is ‘Over again’. This deep roller takes it easy throughout, with a grounded pace and some funky music machine communication to have you bouncing.

SBM Shouts - #junglememories

December 2011 heralds the emergence of some heavy nostalgia conversation for the Jungle/Drum and Bass communitee.  God knows where it all started but regardless #junglememories has been born.  It began on Twitter but the spread is now apparent on Facebook and Soundcloud, this conversation is a treasure trove of information, gifted from the fans and the players themselves.

#junglememories span across a 20 year period with each tweet and comment demonstrating the special place that Drum and Bass has in the hearts of many.  #junglememories range from a particular Track, DJ or Club Night to a more personal memory or experience, demonstrating the level of impact this global genre has on the lives it touches.  Quite a few in there about DJ Rap, understandable.

Here’s just a few for store before Twitter deletes them from their sphere…

SBM Shouts - Face Melters and Bass Rollers

As usual there’s a nice variation of genres on this week shouts, although for the Dubstep listeners there’s a healthy dose of face meltage in store.

Kicking off with a teaser from the Section 8 Recordings new release the ‘ Split Mind EP’, Split Mind by iBenji is an engineered bass synth assault filled to the brim with massive relentless stabs – canned energy this one. It’s definitely worth getting an ear full of the rest of this dance floor E.P. as pieces from Oceania, Saint Rider and Tim Ismag all bring a rib busting offering to the plate.

iBenji - Split Mind CLIP by Section 8 Recordings

Bringing up the pace and switching the mood is Lucas with the pacy house/breaks blend Prophecy. This piece features some classic sounds and a real nice sub-bass, keeping the track locked down. There’s something about this piece that means it keeps it aggression aswell as maintains a deep progressive feel.

Time to lighten the soundscape. Shifting from Zyblot rolls in with bells and a thick warm layer before unleashing a rushing Drum and Bass line and some reverse keys all underpinned by deeply anchored bassline. Zyblot is one of those liquid Drum and Bass producers to keep an eye on.

Now time for another gift from the boys and girls at Unjustified records. Slake from Devnik is essentially a Dubstep stomper of the face melting variety. However, as with most Unjustified records tracks it focuses on variation within the piece, which makes for a nice mid-section. Another feature of an Unjustified Record (not taking themselves too seriously) is brought out in other ways. Toilet humour anyone?

SBM Shouts - Chilled, Distilled and Thrilled

Sleeping with the Insects is a wonderfully serene, piano based piece form Memotone, an artist who paints wonderful soundscapes at the best of times. This Wiltshire based producer has just put out a stunning free EP on Bad Panda records which is worth checking out

Heralded by Chris Inperspective records on www.jungletrain.net, Earl Grey has put out several free tracks on Unjustified records including the eccentrically named Endolymphatic Hydrops. This piece is a beat bonanza all peppered with a loving top layer.

As most avid Metalheadz followers will know by now, new signing Rido has given out a free dark roller, titled Breeze. Featuring a delicious synth and absolutely menacing rolling bassline, this beast can't be missed. Rido - Breeze -

Sub Frequency shouts - Ice cold Drum and Bass, soulful HipHop and Med School

It’s always a blessing to come across a new Suree collaboration. This time she’s teamed up with the jazz fusion styling’s of Gerwin. Syncrisis represents the darker side of Gerwins production which blends perfectly with Suree’s ice cold vocals.

Suree

Now for one from InsideInfo, a true beat and sound form architect. Bottled is wonderfully structured, using numerous bottle sounds a ripping bassline and a sweet catchy vocal. All sounds are crystal clear and blend well on this progressive Drum and Bass, dancefloor twister.

Switching the flavours it’s time to tune into the deep basslines and wistful keys of The Roots featuring Big K.R.I.T ‘Make-my’. This piece isn’t all about the vocals, although they are all laced with a massively melancholy vibe. Make-my has a wonderfully long laidback instrumental in the last minutes which just takes over, immersing the listener in a thick juicy meditation.

Something fresh from the Med School camp really stuck out this week. The Royalston remix of MA’s – Japanese Bones, moves in with an eerie vibe laced with a standard DnB best line before unleashing with an aggressive half step hybrid beat line topped off with some equally aggressive rolling basslines.

  Med School Music

 Finally it’s time to make a shout out about one the hottest tracks on the new Unquote album, ‘Reverberation box’. Cold Tenderness is one of the best examples of the Unquote sound. Big orchestral synths, a crisp beat line, deep rounded bass and angelic vocals wrapped together to make a quality ethereal composition. Med School Music
