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.

Dub Foundation are back with an EP that will knock your drumstep socks off…
The masters of drumstep have been working away in the studio to craft this 4
track monster sounding package. ‘Subsonic EP’ brings you four beautiful new tracks
from the pair behind such weighty mixes as Mr Blonde and Time to Burn.
Midlands production duo Mike and Lee are consistently at the top of their game
and ‘Subsonic’ is no exception.
The tracks all have that trademark style and sound combining drumstep with other styles,
and beats so confusing they can only mean dancefloor euphoria.
‘Subsonic’, ‘Speakerfreaker’, ‘On your Own’ and ‘Locutus’ are the four tracks on everyone’s mind.
Each brings a different asset to any Djs set list and each of these tracks showcase their heavy grimy
bass and quick beat perfection, in turn infused with synth and haunting robotic vocals.
Dub Foundation have once again smashed it and this extended player is another hit from the Technique duo.
