WEEKLY SALUTE #3 – QUADRANT & IRIS

We’re embracing the talents of two of the USA’s finest, where Drum & Bass is concerned, this week.

Quadrant & Iris, hailing from Seattle, Washington, have certainly staked their claim to immortalise the recognition they have recently received. Their debut album ‘206 LP’, released on Klute’s ‘Commerical Suicide’ imprint in October 2015 gained critical acclaim from far reaching corners of the scene for it’s innovative, driving nature. This has also been backed up by the successful ‘Microsleep EP’ on ‘Dispatch Recordings’ in late 2014.

Their latest offering, ‘Scattershot EP’ – which is forthcoming on the Toulouse based ‘Vandal Records’, carries on in the same vein, utilising their now renowned future-rolling sound.

WEEKLY SALUTE #2 – AKOV

This week’s weekly salute goes out to our friend AKOV, who was a special guest on TerraHawk’s February Infidelity Record show on Ujima 98FM.

2015 really was AKOV’s breakthrough year, with his ‘Mantra EP’ storming the D&B charts, even staving off competition from Noisia for Beatport’s number 1 spot, a feat which should most definitely not be underestimated!

In his relatively speedy rise to Drum & Bass notoriety, he has released EP’s on Mindtech Recordings & NeuroFunkGrid, the latter naming his as a ‘NeurofunkGrid Favourite’ in 2014, as well as having a track featured on Drum & Bass Arena’s 18th Birthday Compilation LP.

You can listen to the Akov’s interview (plus some exclusive unreleased material) on the Infidelity Records show HERE.

WEEKLY SALUTE #1 – MIKAL

We welcome back an adaptation of the Infidelity Records daily salute.

This week, we’re tipping our hat to Bristol based producer Mikal. He recently signed his debut album, ‘Wilderness LP’, to the seminal Drum & Bass label Metalheadz, due out very soon.

Mikal is an artist who has an impressive back catalogue of releases. He has worked with a variety of labels – most notably Friction’s Shogun LTD, Skream’s Disfigured Dubz and of course Goldie’s Metalheadz. It is Metalheadz that has managed to sign Mikal for his full length project.

Check out this collaboration with Break from the long awaited project!

All Junglists; A London Sum’ting Dis – (Documentary)

We were turned on to a proper throwback to the early 90’s this week; a Channel 4 program documenting the origins & rise of Jungle music in the UK. Featuring interviews & testimony from many of the original pioneers, including: Kenny Ken, Navigator, Moose, the Ragga Twins, Grooverider, Ray Keith, Mickey Finn, Nicky Blackmarket, DJ Ron & Darren Jay, back in the day!

If you want a glimpse into how our scene began, through the eyes of those that were that at the time, then we highly recommend this as a watch.
