Fresh production outfit EXEPT take a sure-footed step with their first full debut EP for the seventh release of MethLab's BNKR concept - a series that acts as the Occam's razor of deeper dwelling tracks. With the 'STRONGER' EP, 4 tracks of lean drum and bass roll onto the dancefloor, with each carrying a unique audio shard, led by the sublime melancholic vocals of JOANNA SYZE for the title track. Exept's refined production and cutting minimalist approach carve an intricate tech niche in the series progression.

Artist // Disprove

Release // Hard Problem & Automatic

Label // MethLab Recordings

FOLLOW DISPROVE // https://soundcloud.com/disprove

DISPROVE follows up his EPOCH EP on METHLAB RECORDING’s BNKR series with a succinctly powerful pair of tracks - HARD PROBLEM // AUTOMATIC - that dare to experiment and bring a refreshing take on drum & bass with each slice of the evolved weaponry within. Title track HARD PROBLEM issues a tightly engineered and percussion-driven journey that represents masterclass in making timeless and stripped-down tech that’s complex whilst still retaining all the energy and drive required to send the rave wild. AUTOMATIC enters more aggressively into the cyberpunk realm, with a synthetic vocal line providing a rich technological character to the track’s intro before giving way to a mighty evolution that sees the track re-version itself into a mechanically heavy sequence array.

One of the most promising, yet understated producers of the current generation, DISPROVE’s commitment to fresh ideas, backed with his unique dynamic range and exceptional production abilities, sees him continue evolving and adapt to a constantly changing audio environment. Drawing inspiration from multiple genres and sounds, and with releases behind him on some of d&b’s leading labels such as Invisible, Eatbrain and Critical - the future beckons to one of today’s most gifted electronic artists.

The ENGINE BLOCK EP was inspired by learning about the functions and components of the internal combustion engine. We were fascinated with precision required for the design to work, as well as the human ingenuity required to bring it to fruition. AUDEKA

With the ENGINE BLOCK EP - US production trio AUDEKA deliver a manifesto of their ongoing awe-inspiring approach to immaculate sound design of true depth, laced with profound musicality. Audeka bring a unique touch to every genre they approach with each of the tracks within cutting an exceptional and unique mark in electronica. The sonic make-up of the Engine Block EP delivers another step in the career of one of the most unique and capable production outfits currently creating, unleashing a release that breaks boundaries to build a multi-faceted cut into a range of genres approached from their distinctive audio palette. The results define an exceptional approach to music, with Audeka standing in their own right as a genre in themselves - that rare breed of artist that cannot be nailed down and that brings something unique to the table everytime. Unpredictable and relentlessly evolving - the ENGINE BLOCK EP follows up Audeka's ground-breaking 'Lost Souls' LP (nominated as one of the best albums of 2016 by UKF), with a release that clearly sets this gifted creative force apart as one of the most exciting sounds of the future.

MERIKAN stands as one of the most impactful and rapidly rising names in hard-hitting d&b with a razor-edged tech focus right now, with his tracks delivering the nasty to sound systems across Europe every weekend. An energetic DJ with a relentless and high-energy approach to the genre, he has been busy breathing new life into the harder forms, treading surefootedly between sub-genres but always retaining a commitment to the kind of cutting, future aesthetic that's clearly visible in UNTAMEABLE and COUNTER-INSURGENCY, set for release on METHLAB RECORDINGS. This is the 3rd in the series of MethLab's singles aimed squarely at the aphotic dance, following on from Disphonia and Silent Witness's deeply effective sonic weaponry.

With past releases on prominent labels such as Blackout and PRSPCT behind him, and a tour diary that continues to get increasingly packed with dates - Merikan is an artist on an unstoppable trajectory to greater things.

Artist // Silent Witness (Follow - https://soundcloud.com/silentwitness)

Release // 'Argonaut' & 'Drop It'

Label // MethLab Recordings

Visual Artwork // Bryan Cantley (Formu:LA)

Drum and Bass pioneer SILENT WITNESS delivers a pointed and artfully crafted pair of tracks in the form of ARGONAUT and DROP IT, arriving on the continually evolving MethLab platform. Silent Witness is an artist who has been an almost invisible but essential force in the evolution of tech-oriented d&b that retains a funk edge and an utterly precise ethic. The artful employment of his deep knowledge of audio manipulation is clearly visible in both tracks, embodied in the full, rich sound and their driven, powerful edge.

One of the core artists in the MethLab collective, Silent Witness follows up the relentless ‘Ambush’ from their Revenant VA and the incredibly popular ‘High Flyer’ that appeared on MethLab vol.1 (released on Bad Taste Recordings). He has graced an impressive array of labels in his long-running career, including Metalheadz, Critical Music, Dispatch and Commercial Suicide. His impact on the drum & bass scene has been long and deep, and with these 2 tracks signifying a new wave of material (and rumours of his debut LP) from one of the scene’s most compelling creators, that mark is only set to deepen further.

Silent Witness – ‘Argonaut // Drop It’ – follows up Disphonia's 'Disintegrate // Code Red' and is the next in an impactful series of singles arriving on MethLab Recordings. It's also the first official release to arrive exclusively to members of the MethLab Inner Core, an extended subscription service for those closest to the label, 4 weeks in advance of the official release date.
