DJ Vapour's latest studio mix is a special one - it features a forthcoming RTDLTD track! Delphi Productions' "All My Love" is a dirty bit I just got finalized this week; should be 003 on my digital imprint. Keep it locked!
RTDLTD001 is still available - go grab it up now!
Earlier today, I posted the Noisia mix from the massive Metalheadz vs Bassdrive showcase last night, and now it looks like Beats For The Planet has posted up the whole lot of 'em!

Empire "Her (clip)": If you guys know me, you know I'm always trying to find that new new stuff. I threw a post on DOA earlier today, looking for fresh, unsigned hype, and got a PM from ario from Empire, a duo out of the UK. Some of that deep, moody funk for the ears. I love how the synth ascends and descends... makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

This is just the start of a brand new project from vocalist, producer and label-owner, Jakes. With an impressive catalogue of work behind him on the D Style imprint through his close affiliation with TC, along with his own productions on H.E.N.C.H, these 12”s are the first in a series of 4 scheduled releases, plus an album, which will feature exclusive bonus tracks and mixes from the illustrious MC maestro. Mixing up his trademark D&B badness with the bass-heavy, jaw-dropping dubstep tunes straight from the heart of the Bristol dubstep scene, The Jakes Project is going to be BIG!
Vol. 1 [DSR018P]: A) "Haters" \ AA) "Swerve"

To be honest, I don't put much stock in awards shows like this. There's too many "sounds" and subjective cats online to truly decipher who the "best" in Drum & Bass is in any given year. Some things are undeniable... Chase & Status definitely deserved their awards (I definitely enjoyed More Than Alot), but I think "Tear You Down" from Brookes Brothers was THE tune of 2008. Was Annie Mac truly the best female DJ in 2008 for DnB? I wouldn't say so, but I'm a supporter of DJ Flight. Sue me. And did Tali really have an competition?
