28.11.2011

Playaz are back with the second instalment of their mighty Flavours EP and this time they’re not holding a single thing back. Bringing to you a fresh and eclectic selection of tracks from some of the most established producers in the scene and once again showing the listening masses exactly how they roll. Forget everything you thought you knew about the label, Real Playaz are representing real Drum and Bass.

The delightfully mellifluous Tomorrow’s Another Day VIP remix by Netsky will mesmerise listeners with its captivating fluidity and demonstrate the diversity of the young Belgian. You cannot help but fall in love with the whirling bass and swinging kick beats of Na Fool Me by heavyweights Wickaman, Hoodlum and Mavrik making it the perfect track choice for anytime of the day or night. Shimah makes a welcome return with the deep and dark roller Electrostep ensuring that Drum & Bass is represented across board.

A Playaz compilation would not be complete without a filth driven offering from the one and only Potential Badboy who firmly establishes his presence with Can’t Stop Me. The undoubtedly signature style had to be slipped in there somewhere! Watch out for the bonus tracks included from Playaz stalwart Sub Zero and Kent’s purveyor of funk, Erb N Dub.

Whatever your preferred style of Drum and Bass, the Flavours Vol 2 EP will deliver all round. Only Playaz could keep it this real.

Blu Mar Ten - Track Give-away in Aid of Charity



This track was originally released on Vibez Recordings back in 2006.

We’d like to give it away to raise money for The Mayhew Animal Home, which is an animal shelter very close to our hearts as we and our friends have adopted several cats from it.

The Mayhew is funded 100% through donations, so if you download the track please help out if you can by donating here.

Anyone who donates to the shelter will be able to download a full quality WAV copy of the track.

If you can’t or won’t donate you can still download an mp3 of the track here, but I’m pretty sure most of you can afford £1.

Established in 1886, The Mayhew is one of the busiest and most effective rescue centres in London, helping thousands of animals escape from a life of cruelty and neglect each year. They provide shelter and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and when the need arises, for a wide variety of other animals.

Label Launch: Eastern Promise Audio

PRESS RELEASE EPA01 – 26th September 2011

EASTERN PROMISE AUDIO’S FIRST RELEASE ON 30TH OF SEPTEMBER 2011

New drum ‘n bass label Eastern Promise Audiois proud to announce its first official release available from 30th September 2011. Featuring a debut from the labels own flagship, the producing crew Dam Nation, with two of their finest tracks. Setting the tone for a line of releases which will feature; Double O, Infest, Rumbleton, Phuture-T, Splinter and many other producers are in the pipeline such as Morphy, Flatliners and Acid Lab.

Eastern Promise Audio, set up by the Reactor Studios crew from Amsterdam, developed a distinct and exclusive drum n’ bass sound over the years. Heavily inspired by oriental sounds and philosophies, the label will focus on the darker, experimental side of drum ‘n bass.

EPA’s first release (EPA01) shall feature the Dam Nation tracks Mescaline on the A-side, and Under Dementia on the flip. The Dam Nation production crew consists of no less than five members, including Phuture-T, Splinter, Logikz, Reactor Grits, and Drome. The first track is, as the name suggests, an epic trip which can be neither described as either light or dark, as it ambiguously encompasses both; through many stages expressed through classic jungle breaks and deep soaring basslines, the songs progress in a spiritual way through classic gamelan sounds, whispers and soundscapes which are unpredictable and mysterious. As a heavy trip can be essentially indescribable through words, Dam Nation crew has tried doing it through sound that must be heard to be believed. 

They continue their dark ride through the B-side with Under Dementia; more minimal but equally complex in drum patterning, the song opens with traditional Japanese vocals, subtle percussion and mysterious horn sounds, where a soundscape gradually starts opening up to draw the listener into its atmosphere. Once the bass stabs for the first time, the tune falls into its heavy form and reveals its skin of dazzling sounds which fill the audio spectrum and keep on coming out of unexpected corners. Again it makes no difference between a pure light and dark side (although it’s leaning to the latter), and even though less divided into stages as a trip in Mescaline, it is just as epic, dark, and mysterious.

Eastern Promise Audio EPA01, will be for sale online from their own website, Juno Download, Digital-Tunes, and Chemical Records. Their next release, the long awaited Double O EP, is scheduled for November 2011. Phuture-T will also host a new free mix featuring the most recent sounds and artists which got associated with the label, available for download soon!
