One of several producers to have been brought through by Addictive Behaviour, Felix Raymon is another crossover artist with serious talent. There are additional similarities too, as Felix has an inclination towards floating male vocals usually via frequent singer and collaborator Jamal Dilmen in a manner that builds upon the work of Perez, Ivy Lab, and others. Excelling in its own simplicity, Nocturnal effortlessly bridges the divide between art and dance music, both tasteful and remorseless, engineered for the dancefloor but equally at home in a gallery.
Homemade Weapons is a producer who may scare you a little, an unavoidable risk given his penchant for embedding fractious jungle rhythms into sweeping, apocalyptic soundscapes.
Unlike compatriot producers seduced by experimentalism for the sake of it, Homemade Weapons remains tightly bound to the core of jungle music and what makes it tick on a fundamental level, even if he does push the boundaries further than almost any in the game. That lack of filter has helped birth two raucous jungle singles, which have drawn praise from Mixmag and beyond. Whilst he seems most at home producing breakbeats, a string of EPs on Lifestyle Music and Context Audio demonstrated his equally adept touch at crafting bouncy liquid rhythms and penetrating dancefloor minimalism.
This seems an inevitability at some point, and Constrict looks likely to be smack bang in the middle of it. Splitting his time between London and Manchester, Dubshun is a producer firmly committed to producing art covered in a sheen of slick professionalism. Embodied through startlingly barebones rollers, cold halftime, and even some techno ventures, Dubshun is a true multi-hyphenate and a producer with a clear but malleable message.
One to watch. He pops up every now and then with barely any aplomb, drops a new release then disappears again. With barely 20 posts on Instagram and a minimal presence on socials, Javano lets his music do the talking — a refreshing change in our age of superficiality, and one understandable given the undeniable quality that drips through all of his music. His DIY streak alludes to a broader individualism in his style, a substance-heavy and pretension-light approach that merges industrial sweeps, microcosmic liquid evolutions, and biting dance floor energy.
Every single became an anthem and their debut album More Than Alot took them — and the genre — to a whole new generation and audience. Just such a big tune from an act who went on to set some of the highest standards in the game. The whole album More Than Alot was just massive. I was still in school but was in love with the music and was starting to think about going raving. I love it and still play it now. There are two tunes in my sets that have been played more than any other.
This is one of them. The original was such a big track, but I love this remix. Fortunately we got the track and he was one of the people to remix it. Marcus was there and we went to the car and he played this. It blew me away! Then he told me he got Calibre and ST Files on it as well. They added that whole other musical layer — they added guitars and made it more uplifting.
But when this comes on? I go through every single instrument in that track. It puts such a smile on my face. Future Cut were responsible for a seismic run of era-defining tracks throughout the early s before they went on to apply their skills in the pop world to make era-defining hits for the likes of Lily Allen, Busted, Shakira and many more. But on that Friday when I met him, we had a lil talk cos my English was so limited at the time.
He went to the decks and played this track with a looooong intro and the beats were so funky. I was absolutely mad about this tune and I had no idea what tune it was… until I realised after four days that I have the tune on plate because Marcus gave it to me!
This tune is definitely a big part of my life. Straight outa Cardiff: High Contrast made huge waves from the very beginning of his career with epic breakthrough tracks like this string-soaked Hospital epic. We feel like Return Of Forever is a precursor to what we are doing nowadays. Arpy basslines, epic string and brass melodies and lush garage-esque drums — timeless sounds that will never sound dated.
When the breakdown kicks in, pure nostalgia hits us every single time. Back in , this was one of these tracks that definitely helped shift the scene from a very technical aspect to a more vibe-prominent place. It remains one of his biggest tunes to date and is still drawn by DJs to this day. A certified anthem, it changed the life of a young Hedex. Fate, right? That track is something else. From the speed of the breaks to the piano riff, I was hooked.
