Tantrum Desire
- Get With It

(Tech084)

Production duo Tantrum Desire are veteran innovators of the modern
drum and bass scene. Having been making moves in the game since the
early noughties, they caught the eye of Technique bosses Drumsound &
Bassline Smith in 2008 and really stepped up a gear. Fast-forward to today
and they’re in demand as DJs all over the world, they’ve built up an impressive
back catalogue of remixes and original productions, and all their tunes get
heavy rotation on the radio and in the clubs. Their rise isn’t showing any
signs of stopping either.

This release, which is already getting dropped regularly by Friction
on Radio 1 and Hype on Kiss 100, emphasises their diverse influences.
“Get With It” is a guaranteed floor-filler from beginning to end. It builds
layers of percussive synths and drums, including the classic Amen break,
into a drop designed to drive ravers crazy. But it still has more to offer.
Tantrum Desire push their synth-manipulation to increasing heights to
give an evolving sound that doesn’t let up.

“Reach”, like Tantrum Desire themselves, already has a proven reputation.
The original version has already created a huge buzz,in no small part down
to the hundreds of thousands of views the video has on YouTube. The VIP mix
takes the original and forcibly injects it with a hypodermic full of steroids.
The euphoric intro is still there, but now it’s the calm before the storm of a
drop that’s a guaranteed screw-up-your-face moment for anyone who loves bass.

Then, we’re treated to two more twists on the same theme with the
Dubstep Tease and the tempo-switching madness of the D&B Dubstep Tease versions.

These tunes show just what Tantrum Desire are all about. They draw on
sounds from across the musical spectrum and expertly sculpt them into
drum and bass dancefloor bombs. This release will hit hard across the
airwaves or in the dance, wherever high-energy bass music is appreciated.

2DB
- Amiga Man/Happy Days

(Tech083)

2DB have been honing their free-wheeling, rough-edged brand of

dancefloor drum and bass throughout the noughties, and now they’ve
cemented their position among the elite with a string of releases on
Technique Recordings.There’s always been a nostalgic, old skool
influence in their productions, and, as if to prove that point, the two
tracks on this release are all about taking us back to the roots. Of course,
though, 2DB always have to add their own personal stamp to keep
the sound fresh.

The first track goes by the name of “Amiga Man”, a reference which is
so old skool that it’s almost a history lesson. As you’d expect, 2DB
have taken the bleeps and chirps of the eponymous computer and twisted
them into layers of pulsating drum and bass synthesis. With driving riffs
that mirror the ubiquitous dubstep wobble without falling into
cliché, this is guaranteed to hit hard in any dance.

On the AA side we have “Happy Days”, a tune calculated to get
everyone’s backs off the wall. 2DB construct subtle layers of
percussion and a floating, euphoric chord progression that keeps the
momentum building throughout the track with no let up. Coupled with a
high-energy vocal sample,and house-influenced synth-piano textures,
this one is a scientifically designed floor-filler.

So, with “Amiga Man” and “Happy Days”, 2DB have created vital pieces
of weaponry for DJs to draw for. These tunes will be making ravers
skank out for a long time to come.

- Let Go

If you know anything about dubstep or drum and bass, you’ll know
about Crissy Criss. He’s been at the forefront of the scene since he
was a teenager and, more recently, has been bringing basslines to
the masses through his weekly 1Xtra show.
The main mix of Let Go is the one for the 140 bpm crew. Weaving
together old skool sounds, including the classic Amen break, Crissy
builds an early nineties hands-in-the-air intro before dropping into a
full-on dubstep tear-out.

And, as if that wasn’t enough, there’s more to love on this release. The D&B Rollers Mix takes up
the tempo to full drum and bass speed, with floating liquid sounds expertly tempered by a
rough-edged low-end. Then, we have a remix from Technique’s recent signing L Plus, twisting up
the original’s sounds into a half-time D&B excursion. Finally, Mr Criss’s More Than Ever swaps the
euphoria of the title track for some good old-fashioned grimy bass and beats to make hardcore
D&B ravers screw up their faces.

This release is even more evidence that Crissy Criss has feet planted firmly in both junglist and
dubstepper camps. He’s got his finger on the pulse of both genres, so this is clearly music that
every bass-conscious DJ needs to be drawing for.
