Having made his name in the drum and bass raves of Eastern Europe, DJ and producer L Plus quickly came to the attention of the international scene. He cemented his reputation with a string of well-received releases on top UK labels including Urban Takeover, Formation, Viper, and RAM.
Earlier this year, his efforts came to fruition when Drumsound and Bassline Smith signed him exclusively to Technique Recordings. Now that the label bosses have paved the way into the mainstream spotlight with their tracks Close and Freak, L Plus is treading the same path. High-energy synth stabs combined with Shaz Sparks’ stunning vocals make Catastrophe as suitable for daytime playlists as it is for taking the roof off raves.
With this release including a half-time drum and bass version and a dubstep mix, plus a full-tempo
workout from remixer Subsonik, Catastrophe is set to light up dancefloors and airwaves on all
sides of the genre divide. This is going to drop hard wherever bass fanatics are gathered.
So, get ready to step inside the heavy bassline, soaring hook, hard-hitting beats, and twisted
vocoding that make up Catastrophe from L Plus.

Crossfire EP -- Various Artists -- Out Jan 15th 2012 

Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Technique’s label bosses turn the spotlight onto a hand-picked selection of other producers in this EP. While remaining unashamedly D&B, these six tunes draw on additional influences of dubstep and electro to show off new facets to the genre. From the opening low-end salvoes of 2DB’s VIRUS, and into Tantrum Desire’s expert synth-manipulation in Uncontrolled, all the way to the final track,Replica by Erb N Dub & L Plus, we see multiple styles effortlessly twisted into the breakbeat and bassline paradigm. Along the way, we’re treated to a solo workout from L Plus in the form of Gas Grenade, a female perspective from Technique newcomer Dushi in Candarel, and Dub Foundation’s Atlantic, a departure from their usual style. Overall, this EP is a blueprint for bass-heavy music going into 2012. And, given that Technique’s releases have consistently received Radio 1 and 1Xtra airplay from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Fabio & Grooverider, and Annie Nightingale, it’s easy to see that these tracks are going to become a mainstay of raves and airwaves too.

Crissy Criss  - More Than Ever EP 

Technique Recordings

Release Date: Sunday 18^th December

Crissy Criss has been on the scene since the age of 11, but his work has only improved with time and his latest EP is further proof of this. Following tracks and collaborations such as ‘Kick Snare’ and ‘Tika Toc’, Crissy Criss has released a new EP of his own work, and it’s a smash.The radio 1xtra drum and bass guru knows how to blend different genres to create the perfect mixture for dancefloor mayhem.

This mixture of styles is showcased in ‘More Than Ever’; a space odyssey style build up leads to a combination of dark dub over a faster drum and bass beat that is out of this world. ‘Need me’ takes the record in a dubstep direction; this track is like a great 90’s dance tune updated with grimy dub beats. The strong vocal and piano threaded through make this a perfect club piece.‘Everybody’ is fast paced and gets faster and grimier as the beat goes on. A huge build up to the theme ‘Everybody in the club get hyper’ tells you what to expect when you drop this track. ‘Gangsta’ is a slower and more intense bass tune which starts with arcade effects and slow sirens. This is an original sound, which makes use of a broken up reggae styled vocal.

Crissy criss has a long history in drum and bass but continues to shine with this new EP, which demonstrates once again his ability to mix styles and still produce dancefloor smashing beats.

 Tantrum Desire -- Reach -- Out Now

Fresh from releasing their Foreplay EP this summer (supported by the likes of Andy C, Chase & Status and Drumsound & Bassline Smith) Tantrum Desire step things up with the release of Reach out on Technique Recordings on 28^th November.

The London-based duo of Jay Faleye (Producer/DJ) and Devin Smith (DJ) have been setting dancefloors alight across the UK since 2004 with their own unique take on drum & bass, and Reach is no exception.

No doubt about it, Reach is a high octane adrenaline fuelled monster of a track, its razor sharp beats, high tempo bass line and lazer synths topped off with a killer pop edge that marks this out as something special, though no less than we’ve come to expect from Tantrum Desire. The package also includes the massive L Plus on a remix tip which is hot!!

Completing the release Tantrum Desire have produced their own Dubstep remix, that slows the tempo but not the energy, replacing the original’s rolling breaks with jacking half time beats and a throbbing bass line to create a genuine bass anthem.

Over the past seven years, Tantrum Desire have carved out a unique space with their trademark sound and Reach is sure to cement their position at the top table of today’s drum & bass scene.
