In my eyes, SCAR are one of the most original, contemporary-yet-true to the roots, outfit in Drum & Bass at the moment. Seemingly popping up out of nowhere over the winter of 2013/2014, armed with a bulging backcat of unreleased material that they were ready to unleash on heads far and wide, the super-talented duo of Survival & Script earned almost instant recognition for the intuitive sound they were championing.
Both with commendable reputations preceding them, the duo have really carved a nonconformist nuance into the ‘little black book’ of sub genres, reigniting a side of D&B that had really gone by the wayside this decade. With a strong penchant for true-to-the-craft analogue bass, amen, stepping & rolling breaks, SCAR have tapped into a moody yet somehow smile inducing sound that i believe really resonates with todays heads.
Their strong ties to Dispatch Recordings & Metalheadz head honcho Ant Tc1 have seen them release 5 EP’s over the two labels since November 2014 – as well as numerous singles across them and Horizons Musics – plus a track featured on the seminal ‘Platinum Breakz 4’ on Headz.
The mix below was the first taste of SCAR that the public was treated to, largely unreleased SCAR material at the time.
Certified boundary pushers.
