The latest act in line to take the reins at the Shoreditch late-night hub is revered trio SASASAS, formed of MCs Shabba D, Harry Shotta and DJ Phantasy, who step up to host a run of four Friday night shows throughout March (8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th).

Starting the year with a bang, XOYO London opened its arms to renowned pirate radio station Kool FM and its new owners, RINSE, in January, warming up London’s clubbers for another year of highly sought-after artists and an intimate, immersive and underground clubbing experience in the heart of the capital. Now, XOYO has confirmed critically acclaimed DnB powerhouse SASASAS for the March Friday night residency.

Following the return of their Halloween ‘Scarefest’ in October, Shabba, Shotta & DJ Phantasy are back in the Cowper Street basement along with a carefully handpicked selection of established names and emerging talents, including TNA, Basslayerz, MTM (Eksman & J Mulla), Team Drumz Showcase, Brockie, IC3, Nicky Blackmarket, Northbase, Ragga Twins and many more. 

Since coming together in 2014, the award-winning Drum & Bass supergroup SASASAS has stood at the forefront of bass music culture with an ever-growing base of fans and support worldwide. As the group has evolved, navigating the tragic loss of members MC Stormin and Skibadee, it has remained committed to its roots in early DnB, Jungle and the synchronicity between MCs and DJs that has carried the genre into the modern-day. Delivering authentic, nostalgia-influenced and contemporary dancefloor experiences in many of the most respected club spaces and festival stages worldwide, Shabba, Shotta and DJ Phantasy continue to fly the SASASAS flag, honouring the legacy of its founding members and celebrating one of dance music’s cornerstone genres. 

XOYO’s legendary residencies have become a talisman in London’s richly diverse, world-renowned clubbing culture. Its list of previous hosts reads like a roll call of bass music royalty, with the likes of DJ Hazard, Andy C, S.P.Y, Randall, Goldie, Fabio & Grooverider, and Alix Perez merely the crest of an endless wave of quality hosts, incredible guests, and support acts to have lined those shows throughout the years. Combined with a never-ending commitment to provide the capital with a safe, inclusive and authentic clubbing experience, it’s easy to see why XOYO London is revered in UK clubland. Now SASASAS step up for their XOYO residency and, together with a line up overflowing with talent, are sure to create more ‘I was there’ moments in DnB folklore.

Andy’s 2017 residency at the Old Street hotspot led to him becoming the first artist ever invited back for a second residency at the venue, in which he sold out his 2019 13-week residency in record time – breaking XOYO’s website the moment tickets went on sale.

With that in mind, it will be no surprise that over 20,000 people tried to obtain tickets to Andy’s ‘One More Time’ show at XOYO on Sunday, 3rd December. After all, who could resist another chance to surrender to The Executioner as he set upon the intimate basement of one of London’s leading Drum and Bass hubs?

Heading into the city on a cold December evening is always a crisp and bitter affair, and this was one of those occasions where you take a moment of gratitude for the concept of the ‘guestlist’. As we passed the colossal line of people outside the venue, it brought back glimmers of Andy’s previous residencies, paved with anticipation for an onslaught of face-melting throwdowns and applauded wheel-ups.

Stepping foot into XOYO London, we’re reminded instantly of its raw beauty and subterranean aesthetic. It’s almost portal-esque as you step in off the street with its highrise combinations of glass and steel and into the minimalist beauty of red brick walls, concrete floors and dark wood accents laced with neon and mood lighting. If you’re looking for a solid aural experience without all the fancy bells and whistles, just good old-fashioned raving, XOYO is up there.

As the club began to fill and the support acts intricately continued to wind up the musical thermostat, it was clear that we were in for a good night. Such a variety of people of all ages from different walks of life, all brought together under one roof by one common denominator; the vibes from the get-go were about as genuine as you’re likely to find on any dancefloor.

When Andy C and Tonn Piper stepped into the booth, you could feel an increased collective vibration throughout the venue. People were locked in and ready to let Andy unapologetically have at it – as he does in all his sets. As expected, no time was wasted in getting down to the nitty-gritty. No fancy long intro; lights down, hands up and away we went.

Traversing a kaleidoscope of Drum and Bass, Jungle, Hardcore, Liquid, Neurofunk and everything else in between, it was an archetypal educational experience. Showing class with acknowledgement of his fans in attendance, Andy’s willingness and ability to fuse timeless classics with New-school weapons are, as they always have been, seemingly boundless. It sometimes begs belief how someone can effortlessly engage with such a broad age range audience. Still, it also serves as a firm testament to Andy’s standing in the industry over the years as one of the genre’s perpetuating tastemakers.

Despite some technical sound issues halfway through his set, which meant there was a short break in the audio, it was over as soon as it began as Andy dived head first back into his onslaught completely unfazed – as though he had just nipped off to the toilet.

It may sound cliche, but nobody does it like Andy C. He is, always has been, and likely always will be, in a league of his own.

Based on previous experiences, the bar was set extremely high for this show. Going into the event, you’re thinking: “Is it going to be as good as previous shows?” or “How’s he going to match his residencies here?”

It has to be said. ‘One More Time’ could have easily been ‘One More Show’ at the end of one of his residencies. It was entirely and utterly electric from start to finish. The people. The music. The venue. It’s just an unbeatable combo, and we hope it’s not the last time Andy C graces the booth at XOYO.

Huge thanks to the guys at XOYO for having us down. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait to come back!

Seminal drum & bass artist Goldie is celebrating twenty five years as a premiere part of the scene by dropping eleven unreleased tracks through his ’25 Years of Goldie’ compilation. Released through his Metalheadz imprint, it’s a declaration of how he’s spent over two decades helping to build the genre’s foundations; it’ll also be a welcome addition to the collections of any contemporary or veteran listener.

Featuring records such as ‘I Walk the Dog’ and ‘Rider’s Aftermath’,  fans will now be able to add the exclusive digital offering to the vinyl set released as a Record Store Day package back in April. The digital remaster of ‘I Walk the Dog’ pedestals the music which not only shaped drum & bass but also Goldie’s place within it, bringing the record through a modern-day lens.

Today’s debut transmission, the remaster of ‘Rider’s Aftermath’, proves that it is just as imperative, with its rolling breaks and tear away bassline.

The 25 Years of Goldie compilation is available for download and on vinyl now – check out ‘Rider’s Aftermath’ below and grab a copy of the LP from https://bit.ly/2omNOfb

Circus Records honour Australian wonder-duo Carmada’s huge ‘Ready For It’ feat. tribes. with a hard-hitting remix package which takes the already soaring original to new and spectacular heights.

Today’s debut transmission comes from Czech drum & bass veteran Rido, who takes the track to forward-thinking dancefloors with a brash and intricate interpretation, demonstrating the carefully refined studio skills that have earned him movie soundtrack work for the likes of George Lucas and releases for Goldie’s Metalheadz and Black Sun Empire’s Blackout Music.

The remix package also includes tracks from Holy Goof, MUST DIE! and fellow Australian and Blanke.

Carmada are made up of the multiple platinum-selling L D R U and Foreign Family Collective’s Yahtzel and their combined talents have taken them to the top of the Australian iTunes chart and the country’s biggest stages, as well as multiple North American and Australian tours of their own. Expect to see further surprises, including a full Carmada EP later this year.

2018 has already been a huge year for Matrix & Futurebound!

With a massive remix for Pendulum’s ‘Watercolour’ and shows all around the world, including Exit Festival, UKF Buenos Aires, Creamfields, ADE, Let It Roll, Beats 4 Love, and many more, the iconic duo show no signs of slowing down.

Following the success of the first two singles ‘Mystery Machine’ and ‘Live Another Day’ feat. Alex Hepburn, Viper Recordings label bosses Matrix & Futurebound are continuing to build the already growing anticipation for their forthcoming album with their next single and today’s debut transmission, ‘TARDIS’.

A true dancefloor track in every sense of the word, Matrix & Futurebound shows us their underground roots with this mysterious, murky, menace of a track. An ominous intro sets the scene, utilizing portentous vocal samples and shimmering melodies to create an atmosphere equally haunting and mesmerizing. The drop manages to maintain the same eerie vibes while still packing a monumental punch of triplet drums backed up with driving bass, and is currently tearing up dancefloors worldwide this summer and beyond.

After the original ‘Champion EP’ hit the shelves late last year the Sam Binga and Rider Shafique selection was immediately picked up by the almighty Sir David Rodigan and Toddla T. The ever-eclectic Binga found himself in fine form showcasing his love of proper dancehall. Now in 2018 the ‘Champion EP Reloaded’ brings it back with an array of ready remixes that pick up where the first left off including a huge D&B refix from Enei.

In the relatively short period of time since emerging onto the scene, Sam Binga has played clubs and festivals across the world, including regular turns at the world-famous Fabric in London, Outlook in Croatia, headline tours of Australia and New Zealand and a multiple month-long stints topping the bill at shows across the US and Canada. If you’re fully in the know, or if you pay attention to wider movements in the music world, you’ll realise that there’s some serious weight behind the Sam Binga name, with a musical history that covers pretty much the whole spectrum of underground dance music.

Our premiere today is the ‘Check Di News Riddim’ remix of ‘Dem Bwoi’ from the Champion EP – check it out below and grab a copy from here

Label: Metalheadz
Release Date: Out Now

Having lurked in the shadows for what seems like the longest of times, Dublin producer Beta 2 finally appears set to leap in the limelight with his debut EP for Goldie’s evergreen Metalheadz imprint.

Offering up four cuts of serious distinction, the record isn’t the first time we’ve seen the uber talented Irishman peddle his wares on the label and on this evidence certainly won’t be the last. Titled ‘The Beats Inbetween’, the record opens with the jazzy ‘Black Dahlia’. Brooding and mysterious, this sample-less effort – barring a bit of whale song – takes inspiration from 1960’s and 70s ‘crime scene music’, which as ridiculous as it may sound really does come across when listening to the track. Clocking in at 174 BPM, we’re sure you’ll be hearing as much of this little number on sunny days as you do the earlier parts of various nights out.

‘Speckled Dots’ then ratchets up the energy levels with an angst driven slice of souped up, darkside D&B sure to get synapses firing. Aimed squarely at peak time dancefloors, it’s bound to be a weapon in many a DJ’s arsenal over the coming months and will no doubt do serious damage each and every time it’s unleashed upon a crowd.

The release’s standout effort however is undoubtedly ‘The One That Got Me’, featuring the vocals of his sister Suzanne Purcell. It’s rare for us to describe a track as timeless – we feel it’s a word that gets thrown around too easily – but it’s more than apt in this case. Beta 2 is a producer that takes influence from across the spectrum of electronic music and it shows in his work. Paying homage to the past whilst looking to the future is no mean feat but one he manages effortlessly on the ‘The One That Got Me’ with the organic nature of the combination of woodwind instruments and a carefully crafted vocal line creating a track that will live long in the memory and sooth listening ears for years to come.

The digital incarnation of this release comes with a bonus track titled ‘Slide’ which showcases yet another side of Beta 2’s musical personality. Ethereal, washed out chords lace subtle pad work and a non intrusive drum pattern to bring the EP to a gentle close.

Reportedly the first of a slew of fresh efforts set to arrive from Beta 2 in the not too distant future, we’ll be keeping an eye out for new content from him from hereon out and would advise you to do the same. On this evidence, we may have just found our next buy on sight producer.
