The Bristol OGs 'Cybin' 1st caught our ears back in 1999 with an amen killer called "Roller" on MC GQ's Emcee Recordings and as you'll hear, they still have that magic touch! This one is taken from the outstanding 'Under The Ice EP' which epitomizes their minimal & effective approach to creating top-shelf dancefloor weaponry.
"Bruck Out" demonstrates total mastery of the breakbeat. Vibey atmospherics and a haunting vocal hook envelop exquisitely-chopped amen breaks atop a relentless reese bass. Modern execution of a classic sound made possible only by blood, sweat and years.
Under The Ice EP is available exclusively to Machinist Music Bandcamp until 18/06/21 when you can snap it up everywhere. ℹ️

Man like Sl8r touches down on Scotty's 31 Recordings with a killer 4 track EP. Allig8r is a hypnotic future funk utilising a retro style synth that pulsates throughout the track, reminiscent of of an early 90's Belgian rave track. Sometimes the simplest of tunes are the hardest to produce but cause the greatest effect on the dance floor, this one a DJ weapon for sure. ℹ️

June Miller return for their final release, a duo who’ve spent years defining their sound within the Ram Records roster and will continue to do years after their final record. From their first single on Ram, to their debut LP Robots and Romans, they’ve supplied some of the heaviest cuts Ram’s discography offers and their next output will be no different.
Dominator and A Pinda Funk also bring on board two featuring artists, fellow Europeans James Marvel and MC Mota.
Whilst James Marvel has become a renowned part of the drum & bass scene in Belgium’s cultural hub Brussels, MC Mota lends his vocals to an array of artists throughout the genre and together they present an undeniably eclectic outfit.
Dominator moves you through an intricately layered world built up slowly by grinding bass and clattering patterns of percussion.
MC Mota’s ragga-like vocals begin to sift through the mix, leading you into a climatic drop. Instigating a beat-lead riot, you’re attacked from all sides, with crushing drums throwing punch after punch. Dominator is your introduction into chaos, whilst still being meticulously constructed.
Next comes A Pinda Funk, a clever play on words with an even more ingenious sound design. Cutting through heavy LFO with its sonic edges, a quick vocal sample from MC Mota narrates the slow descent into anarchy. With its funky elements displayed from start to finish, A Pinda Funk grabs you with catchy hooks and a techy melody, proving that both June Miller and James Marvel have a multifaceted production standard. This single demonstrates why June Miller became so notorious not just within drum & bass, but also within the army of its most definitive imprint. And they will remain as such, within the headphones of music listeners everywhere.

By now the names June Miller and Teddy Killerz should be no stranger to anyone in the drum and bass scene. Each production outfit are renowned for delivering some of the most cutting edge productions the scene has ever had to offer. Each artist continues to excel with their output, pushing sonic boundaries and delivering stone cold beats that cave in dancefloors world wide. 'Rock n Roll' and 'Wildlife' proves these technically minded wizards deliver two heavyweight cuts destined to destroy the clubs and festivals over the year's course.
'Rock n Roll' is up first. Diving into their metal roots and reaching for the guitars, Rock n Roll is a masterclass in drum and bass fusion. Mixing heavy metal riffs with modern era neurofunk, this track is set to unleash aural devastation. Massive, chunky distorted guitars ring loud as a half time rhythm keeps your heads bobbing throughout. Drum fills slice through the fray like machine gun fire, taking the track full speed ahead into an assault of reverberated lead stabs and crushing mid range and sub bass frequencies... Making it a serious piece of DJ artillery to contend with and unleash upon the masses.
'Wildlife' flips the script and delivers something entirely different. Taking you deep into the jungle, animals roar and growl as a mysterious ticking sets the rhythm and coaxes you in deeper towards the build. Razor sharp risers propel you full speed into an onslaught of stepped, weighted drum hits and an unearthly barrage of low end power. Cleverly placed percussion fires off like cannon fire taking the track's lead and melding together into a sinister journey.
Taking no prisoners with this release, June Miller and Teddy Killerz showcase their masterful sound design chops, bringing forward two new diverse but powerful additions to their ever growing back catalogue on Ram. Pooling together their creative energies, both parties prove they mean business and will settle for nothing less than perfection.

After a hiatus which has left many fans sitting on the edge of their subs, Calyx & Teebee are making a dramatic return. And with this record in tow, the scene is about to bow down yet again to two of their most skilled sonic crafters.
With the huge success of their All or Nothing LP laying just over the horizon, Calyx & Teebee are about to take the title place yet again and with the full throttle forces of pounding basslines and meticulously constructed mechanics. But what else could you expect from two revered veterans of the genre, whose joint muscle has telescoped the competition in comparison.
However, it's not just their duteous workmanship and full-throttle drive that makes their music so undeniably huge. In tracks like 'A Day That Never Comes' Larry Con's vocals lead you by the hand into all-out anarchy. Revving between each break, your picked up and dropped by verbal crescendos. Angry, yet innovative and impressively intricate, Calyx & Teebee have raised expectations even higher.
And then comes 'Snakes & Ladders', a minefield of drum patterns and wavering note arpeggios. A steppy riddim which completely envelops the sense, each segment explodes on impact. Sliced and diced by invasive samples, you're unable to resist; plunging you deep into the mix, the slowly building drop pushes you into a freefall of plucky subs and jittering percussion. With such an equally impactful flipside, this sets another precedent and one which the producers exceed with every release.

05:51 - Rain Dance

08:14 - Next Generation
09:20 - Fandango
10:26 - Cold Storage
With Zane Lowe pedestalling the first glimpse into Bensley's diverse soundscape, 'Fandango' was a precursor for this forthcoming debut. 'Next Generation' is a bold move; with drum & bass being a genre which has certainly stood the test of time, newcomers have incredibly big shoes to fill. However, Bensley incorporates an innovative and incredibly intricate set of production skills to hold a title of his own.
But what can you expect from an artist who was signed after sending a single demo to revered label head Andy C. That's despite having no previous releases or having any other music available to stream online. He was somewhat of a mystery.
'Fandango' was that track. And it was premiered as a world exclusive on leading tastemaker Radio1, which followed with support from the likes of Mistajam on 1xtra, as well as DJs on both Kiss and XFM.
Already demonstrating his widespread appeal with just one track, his air of mystery is now about to be broken. He's definitely an anomaly; being only nineteen and having impressed so many people.
'Next Generation' is a 10-track journey through an impressively diverse soundscape. Whether it's half-time breakdowns or the incorporation if cross genre-pollination it shows an astounding ability which will not go unrecognised.
From the opening bars of 'Wildfire', to the softly spoken pads and atmospheric note arpeggios of 'Rain Dance', then wrapped up by aptly named closing track 'Aftermath', there's no denying Bensley's masterful artistry.
Title-track 'Next Generation' leads you by the hand with snippets of humanistic sample, flowing in and out of its construct. It's built upon by striking note progressions, a relaying of patterns which chop and change the mix. Carefully placed subs add impact, with emphasis given on each break, carrying the track forward down a steep drop with each slab of bass.
Drawing together a dizzying and fresh array of new sounds, this album indicates why Bensley is a forerunner within the new generation of music comers. Its representative of the fast paced technological setting of music production he grew up around; it also proves that Bensley is able to tap into dimensions which are often unheard of in other bodies of work.

Teddy Killerz are in no way shy; presenting a full-frontal, immersive production standard the outfit are not afraid to turn their backs on the scene's more commercial sounds. You'll find them tearing down any dimly lit club across the globe – from the US to Russia and then back to the genre's roots in the UK, Teddy Killerz have pedestalled a sound unlike anyone else. But what can you expect from three artists who were instantly taken into the OWSLA fort, after illuminating themselves against hordes of remix competitors for Skrillex's renowned imprint.
This inevitably led to their monumental signing to one of dance music's most resounding and withstanding labels, Ram Records. And after their most recent single 'Teddynator' exploded onto the Beatport Top 100 and accomplishing the sought after number one spot, they've followed this up in quick succession. The 'Hyperspeed EP' epitomises everything which Teddy Killerz are about. Aggressive yet concise, smashing you head first through every carefully constructed break, this trio prove their versatility whilst reaffirming their position as one of the genre's most intimidating weights.
Instantly recognisable from any set over the past few months, title-track 'Hyperspeed' froths with foreboding before dropping into all-out anarchy. With a rabid forking of synth and the snap, smack and pound of drums, this is drum & bass at its most raw and undiluted. Sitting on top of clashing percussion and reversing momentarily at unpredictable intervals, there's no escaping this record's all-enveloping force.
'Quasar' on the other hand begins on a false-premise. Brought forward on eerie atmospherics, it's swiftly cut open and dissected by a quick strum of electric guitar before you're propelled at a dizzying speed. Sub bass is used as an alarm, ringing throughout the record and warning the listener of Teddy Killerz unapologetic countenance.
Of a different hue is 'Space Junk', with a jazzy intro that rolls on top of an LFO-lead bassline and jungle reminiscent breaks. Demonstrating the trio's undeniable craftsmanship, it definitely adds another dimension to the EP's track listing. Then lastly, 'Hawking Radiation' presents you with a steppy riddim that hulks with every few bars. The tempo is then amped up to 170; the perfect way to close an EP that'll leave you contemplating its enormity.

Following his set at the seminal Printworks venue in London, Junk Mail returns for 2020 with a brand-new single on Ram Records. After the dancefloor success of previous cuts ‘Lock Stock’ and ‘Lord Terror’, which catapulted him into the drum & bass world after he adopted a new alias from a well-known production duo, his fresh delivery ‘Yellow Jacket’ has already made its way to taste makers, including Ram Records leading figure Andy C.
It’s become a staple within his sets, with electronic guitar strings and an air raid-like siren quickly leading into its first breakdown. It's a certified intro track. The stabbing epicness of Junk Mail’s production shines through once more with ‘Yellow Jacket’, homing in on the sound which made Ram Records so infamous across worldwide club circuits.

Next level heaviness: Audio is now an official member of the Ram Records family. And he's entered the creative fray with two of the most brutal, ballistic bangers you'll play all year.
A decorated sound scientist for well over 10 years, what Audio doesn't know about explosive production dynamics truly isn't worth knowing. His previous outings -- four albums and an anthem so unanimously massive it knocked EDM superstar Avicii off the top spot on Beatport -- speak volumes. Literally... Each and every Audio production stops the very best D&B producers in their tracks, making them rethink their game. Naturally his first full Ram debut is no exception.
'Heads Up' is a king size tear-out session of Godzilla proportions. Opening with subtle themes of dark cinematic drama, he pitches us into a drop that's so physical and visceral it's outrageous. Sneering and tearing with raw aggression, you could reload this 20 times over and your crowd will lap it up every single time. Just when you thought Audio couldn't possibly raise the bar higher...
And that bar stays high on 'Stampede'. Referencing the classical sounds that made drum & bass the distinctive genre it's become, a series of icy pad, searing basses and tightly woven percussion build into a hook made of unadulterated savagery and concentrated destruction. Nodding deftly at every muscular sub-genre D&B has spawned -- from tech to neuro to jump-up -- Audio has whittled such a sharp sonic stick the police are considering filing it as a dangerous weapon.
Audio and Ram Records: A collaborative union of forces that's nothing short of a recipe for pure drum & bass devastation. And this is just the beginning!

Program has been a home for drum & bass artists who have both already created established names for themselves as well as those who are just beginning their career. This is what has defined Program as a creative hub and for their next release Fliwo delivers a double-sided single which helps to build on this image. He’s an artist who’s already cemented himself within the genre’s far reaching corners, gracing the discographies of its many independent labels and debuting on festival stages across Europe. Forthcoming record ‘What U Say / Look Into My Eyes’ exemplifies why his music has helped push his name throughout the scene, helping him to take his next step into the Program roster. And standing as part of the central Ram Records imprint, Program certainly adds another pivotal move for Fliwo’s aspirations.
The deep seated liquid vibes prevalent throughout ‘What U Say’ aligns the listener instantly with Fliwo’s moniker. The track moves through dainty layers of strings, softly spoken pads and a melody which twists and turns throughout its spider web of notes. Fliwo offers a breath of fresh air to the standard drum & bass format, setting out the track amongst distorted vocals and a subdued breakdown. It serves as a foreword to Fliwo’s sound for Program’s audiences whilst underlining his impeccable stylistic features.
‘Look into My Eyes’ follows a similar colour wheel of musicality, flipping between its bassline which provides a thumping spine and keyed piano notes. Amongst epic instrumentals, a swathe of synth and female vocal peaks, Fliwo has dropped a monumental flipside. Both ‘What U Say’ and ‘Look into My Eyes’ give two alternative viewpoints into Fliwo’s already painstakingly developed production standard. So once again, it’s time to get with the Program. One which offers every flavour drum & bass has created since its inception.

Originating from the bass-heavy hotbed that is London town, Frankee is one of many producers that are helping to shape drum & bass for a new era. And having already expelled himself from the tide of competition clawing for the top, he's created his own identity with nerve-twitching, eardrum encapsulating releases.
His debut 'Turning Point' EP saw him elevated above his predecessors, whilst monstrous sleuth 'Gully' became a track which resounded throughout last year, a sure-fire weapon for every dancefloor detonator.
This time, however, Frankee covers every base within the space of a four-track centrepiece. From the intricately woven feat of 'Deep Down', back to the zigzagging bassline of 'Drop it Low', every avenue is crossed to display his prestige in the world of production standards.
A fairground of musicality, 'Drop it Low' is the perfect reintroduction to Frankee's ability to flip the switch and take you into a quirkier dimension of sound. The riff is undeniably catchy; grabbing you by the shoulders and submerging you in pulses of reverberating subs. Snapping, biting and with commanding vocal samples that literally throw themselves at you, Frankee is back and proving his merit.

For twenty five years, Ram Records’ ground breaking roster have stood at drum & basses forefront. Time and time again, they’ve delivered some of the most definitive releases which have helped to shape the genre’s roots, becoming a prized part of its antiquity and huge back catalogue of releases. But alongside their primary artists, they’ve also welcomed guests to bring their refined production to Ram’s ever-growing discography. Their next addition is from Smooth, an artist whose spent years refining his craft, from playing instruments in his formative years to turning his hand at metal, hardcore and finally drum & bass, where he landed himself on its most revered imprints. He continues this ascent with the ‘Resurrection EP’ on Ram, featuring four fresh cuts to add to an already stellar succession of releases.
First from the new batch of records is ‘Trajectory’, a steppy, snapping whirlpool of clattering bass rhythms and fluctuating note patterns. It pulls you into Smooth’s dreamy soundscape, whilst still channelling a bassline which pulsates steadily underneath each flurry of beats. Up next comes ‘Disco’, with a more cascading, jazzy appeal, one which gradually builds into uplifting pads and clattering drums, helping to flesh-out the composition. ‘Disco’ points to Smooth’s streamlined musicality, which features a huge repertoire of sound.
‘Device’ follows with a cinematic intro, which begins to grow steadily on a quick succession of sonic stabs and heavyweight drums. Amongst old-school breaks and rattling percussion sitting underneath the mix, the track is tribal yet crunches with grinding LFO. It’s fierce in its delivery and channels more contemporary production standards. ‘My Feeling’ finishes the EP on a completely different vibe, drawing out keyed arpeggios and elevating synths. Smooth flexes his creativity one more time before the Resurrection’s close, stringing together shimmery vocals and an emphatic climax. Alongside its predecessors, ‘My Feeling’ gives the perfect end to a stellar release. One welcomed by Ram’s decorated history.

An infamously quick-fire dj, as well as one of the most hotly tipped producers to date, Frankee is returning yet again with a single to further solidify his position.
Whether it's from a set played on the notorious Ibiza waterfront, or amongst a packed out, dimly lit stage in super club Fabric, you'll instantly recognise these refined cuts premiered over the last six months. Detonating a hard lined crowd at Drum & Bass Arena's Easter weekend, Power and Downtown are of two totally different flavours, yet still pull raw energy and emotion from dancefloors globally.
Featuring the vocal talents of Simon Franks, 'Downtown' demonstrates an ability to tap into a hugely diverse range of capacities. Fading between carefully textured breaks, as well as a cleverly distorted bass, it spans a hugely intricate composition. Fluctuating note patterns perfectly underpin slowly elevated synths; cutting open and laying bear the producer's depth. Working his more emotive soundscape 'Downtown' epitomises Frankee's versatility and his multidimensional approach to music making.
On the flipside, a much darker standard is set. Winding up before clanking into a maze of snapping hi-hats, reverberating bass and barrages of driving drum loops 'Power' demonstrates the harder style of his production, as seen in previous tracks like 'Snarl' and 'Excalibur'. Brooding, gritty and a perfect 4am grinder, the delivery of this next single presents two opposing tracks that help to exemplify Frankee's vast discography.

Magnetude 'Snatch'
Eight years in the making, the path of Magentude was never a smooth one. The Anglo-Russian hybrid spent their formative years sharing music across the vast expanse of cyberspace; following a chance online meeting through their individual projects, it was their love for musically enriched drum & bass which drew them together and it was this passion which saw them collaborate. Time passed, meaning Magnetude became less of an idea and more of a reality as their tracks gained traction across worldwide stages and DJ sets. However, the ingeniously sculpted compositions they piece together meant it was only natural for them to pique interest with one of dance music’s most revered labels, Ram Records. And it was here that their forthcoming single ‘Snatch’ and ‘Signals’ came into being.
One element of Magnetude’s success is their ability to integrate multi-genre soundscapes across drum & bass. ‘Snatch’ is the epitomic example, pulling out vast, orchestral instrumentals and throbbing bass notes to draw you deep inside its climatic breakdown. As the record transcends into a more dancefloor-lead drop, it ducks and dives between rocketing pulses of LFO and a hook which is undeniably catchy. Switching midway and demonstrating that every inch of their music channels a constant thought process, ‘Snatch’ may be your first foreword into Magnetude’s sound but it will certainly carve a lasting impact.
‘Signals’ still shakes with the same relentless drive as its flipside but also gives you a glimpse into Magnetude’s boundary-breaking sound design. Pulling robotic, eerily warped vocals through the mix alongside its floating synths, the introduction of its weighty drum patterns adds a divisive undercurrent. ‘Signals’ still keeps its focus around the anarchist club vibes seen throughout Magnetude’s production but it also opens you up to their range and diversity.
They’re a duo who concentrates on developing a signature which not only oozes individuality but also centralises around the contemporary progress of drum & bass. This is why they’ve become such an exciting prospect within the twenty-five year strong Ram Records roster.

1: Saus 2: Ups & Downs 3: Bad Brains 4: The Promise Ring
The introductions are over; June Miller are back and there's no apology. They've reappeared having been stooped in solitary confinement; presenting a handful of cuts, only to prove that this was brutally productive and they've been working hard to follow up their last release.
Bare-knuckled and still swinging, this EP sees June Miller entering round three and raising the bar yet another level. The precursor to their forthcoming album, from 'The Promise Ring' to the resounding brass of 'Saus', it certainly sets a precedent.
Rolling out first is a record featuring Mefjus, a production freight-train who's been setting the competition alight in recent months. 'Saus' is no different, with June Miller intertwining a tightly compact composition which smashes your synapses on impact. Rattling through on tracks of unhinged percussion, prepare yourself for a musical excursion which will take you through the darkest depths of drum and bass. But what else could you expect, when the talents of June Miller and Mefjus are so effortlessly combined?
Coming up next, title-track 'Ups & Downs' shows the pair's ability to completely flip an emotive vocal sample onto its back. The way they use this sound component shows undiluted ingenuity, creating a totally different impact with every switch. It begins through a wave of static, with a break that slowly leads you up a drum-paved crescendo. Then it pounds, drops and pulls you up just as quickly, creating dynamics which merge to create an electronic masterpiece.
Then we're introduced to 'Bad Brains'. There's no denying why this track has been used to intro so many sets over the past year. It winds up with an intimidating compactness, before springing you into chaos. Bludgeoning beats roll with each bar set and there's no escape from its driving onslaught. This track is instantly recognisable on first listen, alluding to June Miller's ever-growing profile.
And lastly, we have 'The Promise Ring'. Adding a sexier vibe to its predecessors, the producers have yet again showed there's a hidden depth to their musicality. Snapping, tapping and with a female vocal oozing between carefully layered constructs, it's a nod to their huge reel of ability. This last reaffirms that their debut album is sure to feature some of the most perfectly crafted, versatile music the Ram imprint has to offer.

After the release of their 'Colours' EP in 2014, Mind Vortex have switched up a gear and are now rolling forward with even more intensity. Presenting yet another four slabs of sonic-attitude, they've solidified their mark in Ram's roster and are this time coming for the jugular. If you were looking for the same pent-up aggression as 'Hotbox' and 'Gravity', Mind Vortex are not here to disappoint.
Title-track 'Against the Grain' serves as the perfect entrée. Pulsating subs are underpinned by quickening drum patterns, which pull you against a baying tide. Snapping against booming kicks and elevating into an exploding crescendo, one which is meticulously planned. Mind Vortex have shifted the drum & bass paradigm, by merging different stylistic patterns demonstrated even within the EP's very first track.
Rolling out next with quick fire beats and the intimidating growl of Evil B is 'Bigger than that'. The MC leads you into a construction line of chaos, crafted by funk driven basslines and breaks which are bulging at their seams. Weighty, menacing and instantly grappling your attention, it's a sure-fire club anthem… One which has already ignited dancefloors.
With longing piano notes steppily taking you through its introduction, 'Curve Ball' throws you headfirst into a midst of infectious synths and fluctuating key patterns. A driving anthem, yet one which takes its time to methodically build segments, the track stays true to its name. Constantly throwing you jauntily into different directions, this is demonstrative of Mind Vortex's ability to hold you by the ears. There's no stopping this pounding riddim; it beholds a pulse to keep you dancing.
Then finally, comes 'Stand High'. Daniela's vocal delights take you through a journey between breaks, elevated with each beat pattern. Again, Mind Vortex epitomises their command over every nerve in your body. Aboard vocal crescendos, risen by elevating synths you're baited by each hook and snared almost too easily. It's the perfect accompaniment to three already hard-hitting stompers… Proving Mind Vortex's versatility, a trait which is sure to see them explode in the next twelve months.
