This release features a new duo entitled – The Hybridz. This is the duos first release on the label and you can find some more info on them below.

The duo entitled “The Hybridz” was formed in early Jan 2011 and encompasses two simplistic minds from the furthermost corners of the earth – Australia & Brazil. Having only recently meet through, Jefferson’s (Integration Now) release on Jamie’s (Forge) label – Silk Recordings, the pair had very similar tastes in music and the direction they each wanted to take there own sound in. Not sticking to one tempo and experimenting with all types of time signatures and beat patterns “The Hybridz” stands for deep experimentation and a simple but melancholic and bass driven sound with no boundaries.

Their first official release is due out in the next few months on GBDA, which is a sub-label of the mighty “Peer Pressure Records” located in the USA. The release will be available on 12″ and a digital release date will be soon to follow. The next release is a digital single on Silk Recordings followed by a 12″ single due out in the 2nd half of the year. Following on from this a E.P of dubstep/garage tunes on 12″ and digital by brand new dubstep label – Solace Records. With many more releases to be confirmed keep an eye out in the record store for the duos signature sound.

Both artists still have heavy release schedules on there own, with labels ranging from the likes of Darkestral, Silk Rec, Something Deep & Extent VIP to name a few, this duo is set to busy over the next few months with literally some genre bending music to be released.

The Hybridz – Roots Of Resistance

With a strong dub flavor and heavy sub, this tune takes no prisoners. Minimal and rolling beats keep the tune together and are accompanied with some strong percussion and eerie synth melodies. A well-rounded vocal sample complements the dub vibe of the track. Currently supported by Loxy, Nether, Forge, Balistics and many more.

The Hybridz – Mind Splicer

A new direction and sound for the duo, this track lifts of with a epic intro and soon dissolves into glassy atmospherics and deep pads. Interesting percussion weaves it’s way throughout the track, while subtle fx and bass complement the deep vibes that run throughout. With it’s hypnotic vibe this track is something you will keep playing over and over again.

Our 19th release is now available on all online retailers and features some of Russia’s most talented new producers. Getz, Nuage & THRN come together on this stunning release which features some amazing soundscapes, lots of dirty mid-range bass and highly polished beats.

Getz is currently well underway to a long career within the music industry and has releases on labels such as Inneractive, Cylon, C4C & Soundium X. He also continues to collab with long-time partner in crime – Nuage. The boys have recently started a podcast series called – Interactive and a label to put out the music they make. Both artists have put an extreme amount of hardwork into the label and their debut L.P is currently smashing it worldwide. Keep an eye on these producers in 2012!

Getz – Life Is The Show

Life is the show starts of with an arp styled melody that weaves it’s way between samples and glossy drums. Synth pads and various dub fx keep the track interesting and accommodate the low sub as it winds it’s way between the futuristic drum edits that keep the energy high. Not your usual dark Getz track but one that is very eerie and primed for the dancefloor.

Getz & Nuage feat, THRN – Lost In Silence

Getz’s collab track for the release comes in very heavy indeed. Haunting synths layered over subtle soundscapes make way for the massive baseline. Amazingly sounding analog drums and fx give the track an old school vibe. Dark moody bass stabs round this track off so expect to hear this being dropped after 2:00AM on the dancefloor.

Bulb steps up for the labels 18th release, with 2 very musically sublime tracks. If you haven’t heard the Russian wiz kid by now, you should def check him out! Having releases on a bunch of high quality labels such as Hospitals offshoot Med School, Soul:R, Kokeshi, Respect and of course Silk. Bulb also has featured on mixes and podcasts from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Hospital, RBMA, Kokeshi and countless other podcasts and radio shows.

Bulb has another musical project titled “Fill”. This is an outlet for a lot of his downtempo productions, which still have the same unique qualities and the high production standards as all his other works. Adding to this he is a regular DJ at some of the biggest parties in Russia and you can check his skills on the aptly titled podcast – “Into The Deep” which is hitting it’s 14th episode this week.

With a slew of 12” also forthcoming on the above mentioned labels as well as Silk, Bulb is showing no signs of slowing down in the near future.

Bulb – Lonely Gravity

A very complex and creatively soothing piece of music. Not your normal 170bpm track, this encompasses moods and emotions from another world slowly drifting back and forth like the sea on a calm day. Bulb has really hit the spot on this one by keeping it subtle but still having a big appeal to a wide range of listeners. This truly is music to melt your ears off!

Bulb – Default Settings

The 2nd track is made entirely from the default settings template in FL. To show producers that u don’t need all the sounds in the world but merely an understanding of the creative process and a seed inside your head! As Bulb has shown this is all it takes to achieve great results with something so simple. Originality and lush melodies soak up the beats in this effective but contrastingly bass heavy release.

The 4th offering from the Silk Recordings label comes to us with two liquid soulful rollers. Both tracks shed some light on the immense new talent that Silk brings thru. ‘Cold Feelings’ being the favorite of the two, having play-listed on BBC Radio 1 and in the sets of some of the biggest name DJ’s the scene has to offer, this shows the true support tracks of this quality deserve.

m25 & Subsid – Rio

The title of this track sums it up in one go. Lush piano chords play a very summery melody with uplifting hooks and soulful string stabs adding to the palette of sounds. Sweet vocals and a rolling vibe that fills out this beautiful piece of music, it all leads up to the sublime sax in the breakdown. This track really does what it says and puts you standing on the beach ready to hit the cool water.

m25 Feat. First Function – Cold Feelings

With a cold eerie pad starting us off, “Cold Feelings” drops into the amazing vocal work of First Function, complemented with a funky but emotional piano riff that plays right into the subtle percussion hits that fuze the sharp beats together.
Thanks to it’s sweeping pads and a very heavy low end sub melody this track is perfect for anytime during the day or night.

These are just some of Pulsaar’s highlights and really show his versatility and dedication towards music.

Pulsaar – Universe

Universe starts off with a haunting synth intro reminiscent of the beginning of time, quickly spiraling into vocal stabs that explode into the futuristic drums that Pulsaar is well know for. As the track progress uplifting synths and a more heavenly vocal break down into the first drop. What follows is a massive square bass groove with glorious strings and infectious vocal snippets throughout the rest of track, this tune has been hypnotizing dance floors worldwide.

Pulsaar – Starguitar

Future funk vibes all the way on this release. The fist drop builds up and shimmers along with rising sci-fi pads and trademark synth leads. The drop pushes to a seriously buzzing bassline that hovers over dreamy fx’s and builds up to the best part of the track – a seriously soulful and cosmic guitar solo that takes you to where you want to go. Cinematic strings build up to the next drop and the seriously heavy bass lets go once again.
