Kamikaze Space Programme : Algus EP

 

 

Having produced drum & bass for the last 10 years under the alias Raiden, Estonian based Chris Jarman has a discography, label affiliations and DJ history that would make most musicians green with envy. He is certainly no amateur in the music industry. But enough about that, this is about his latest project... Kamikaze Space Programme.

Kamikaze Space Programme or 'KSP' is fusion of House & Techno experiments with a healthy dose of Chris Jarman's own live percussion and his trademark monster bass production. Upon discovering the new UK bass movement, a music genre coming from post dubstep producers looking to create music with more substance and maturity, Chris felt this was the music he had waited 10 years for, and now he is part of it. After a decade of fusing 170bpm with techno and tribal rhythm's Kamikaze Space Programme is the next logical step to his long and productive career - a sound devoid of rules and preconceptions, which is liberating for an artist who draws influences from a wide spectrum of music. Who else would mix Jeff Mills, Les Baxter and Hector Lavoe!

DecaRhythm are very excited to release the first installment from KSP; four tracks which have received support from the likes of DJ Flight, MJ Cole, Appleblim, Addison Groove, Blawan and Randomer. From the uber-catchy percussion and jungle atmospheres of Um Bongo to the solid beat and itching FX of Rover, through Chorizo's enormous sub kicks and carnival percussion and the crisp beats, stabs and rolling toms of Lawn; the Algus EP (meaning beginning in Estonian) identifies the launch of KSP's stunning new sound and collaboration with DecaRhythm, expect the follow up EP early 2012.

Dread MC : Trippin

Trippin

Trippin J@kes Remix

 

 

Hailing from the southwest of England, Dread MC is a household name across the UK amongst the dubstep and drum n bass fraternity. A regular on the circuit, Dread MC performs frequently alongside Redlight, Skream, and The Others to name a few.

Growing up on a sturdy diet of dub, ragga, jungle, soul and motown has stood Dread in good stead to deal with the ever-changing dance music soundscape. "I have been on road a lot over the years building my name & working closely with selected artIsts. Performing all over the UK and abroad at venues and festivals."

The partnership of Dread MC and DecaRhythm's Bloodman has certainly worked on this all out 4x4 club smasher. Trippin has been strongly supported by the likes of Benga, Skream, and D1 to name but a few. It's relentless hard driven percussion and equally hard synth's combined with the Dread's cascading vocals give little rest-bite to this highly anticipated release. This is just the start of Dread's journey with DecaRhythm.

The H.E.N.C.H head honcho has certainly not disappointed with his remix of Trippin. J@kes is known for his outstanding contribution to the dubstep scene and in this track we can clearly hear why. His fearlessly unique sound certainly shines through in this remix and complements the original without fail.

Arkist : Trapped in Tivoli

Trapped in Tivoli

Little Red FireWerk

 

 

Freshly returned from his second US tour Arkist returns with more of his unique and ever strengthening sound for his long awaited second DecaRhythm single.

Review from Residant Advisor: Rated 3.5/5
Arkist is one of the most intriguing prospects in Bristol's new wave of producers, pushing an unclassifiable sound characterized more by careful polish and easygoing smoothness. Of course that also means his music can occasionally fall under a beige hue, but it's a tendency his recent run of productions seems to be moving away from. His second release for Bristol-based Deca Rhythm indeed shows him with a foot in a new direction and one stuck in the vanilla past.

"Trapped in Tivoli" is bass music soft-rock supreme, gliding along effortlessly on a bassline that reveals itself to be a rather hard-edged guitar riff with all the corners sanded down. The track rumbles and buzzes like mad in its ravenous determination, percolating over a cloud of whirring dub techno chords and earnest percussion. But Arkist's taut, no-bullshit songwriting makes it: every element feels muscular and sinewy, in the perfect place at the perfect time, and to hear it all executed in one fell swoop is exhilarating. It's an uncompromising focus that the B-side "Little Red Firewerk" lacks, stretching out over eleven minutes. "Firewerk" spits out a gangly acid riff that accumulates more dirt and debris as it writhes for the track's duration, but placed on top of the track's workmanlike house thump and lifeless dub chords, the result is disappointingly pedestrian. All the more reason to put "Trapped in Tivoli" on one more time.

 

Bloodman : Launch EP

Worn Smooth into Forever

Rafter

Launch

Darkest Secret

 

 

As a producer Bloodman strives to explore and experiment with the fluctuations between genres, his output oscillates between dubstep, house and techno, drawing influences from across the musical spectrum. The Launch E.P. represents a cross section of this diverse and intricate sound and follows his 2010 debut single Remote Viewing / Deep Fish which received praise and ratings such as 8/10 in iDJ magazine.

Bloodman kicks off his E.P. with Worn Smooth into Forever, this track combines his archetypal orchestral synth progressions laced together with percussive half step darkness, a formula which he has become known for and giving this track multiple appeal.

Rafter
The second track explores Bloodman's love for deep progressive sounds; cruising through various textures towards it's carrefully understated climax. The hypnotic flow of this track has made it a favorite of the selected few - including Appleblim and Orphan 101 - that have been testing it out.

Launch
The title track gives no false representation in its name, a big club smasher that's been setting dance floors off for a while now. Unmistakable, climbing FX and relentless drums give this track its drive and vast, spacious energy.

Darkest Secret
The E.P. is wrapped up with a return to Bloodman's darker signature sound. With it's hard lead synths, alien effects and tech driven drums Darkest Secret develops into an epic climax softened only by the deep pads that lift it to another level.

Under The Radar

This Junk (ILLO)

N.I

Under The Radar (Bloodman remix)

 

 

Following his well-received Applepips and Saigon Recordings releases DecaRhythm is proud to present Orphan 101's Under The Radar E.P. The Five tracks selected to show his varying styles and musical tastes.

Under The Radar
This dark and deep, unique dubstep techno cross over with its dive-bombing aeroplane fx has been anticipated for a long time. Its been given huge support from the likes of Appleblim, Headhunter, J@kes and Pheleah to name but a few.

Sus
A slower 130 bpm gives this deep melodic techno roller a haunting energy. Laced with progressive synths and a low end sub leaving only the percussion and subtle fx to hold track in place.

This Junk (ILLO)
The garage influenced half step bounce has a big dance floor vibe. With its easy vocal melodies progressive chords and fleeting percussion between the kick and sub this track has a tense and soulful feel. Also supported by Appleblim, Headhunter, J@kes Pheleah , 2562 and Bunzero.

N.I
Deep in vibe and presence N.I brings thundering basslines mixed with some unusual electronic-tribal percussion added to this with its haunting and eerie pads gives this track an intense atmospheric dance floor presence.

Under The Radar (Bloodman remix)
Remixing tracks that already have a strong signature sound is hard enough, but what Bloodman had achieved in this remix is amazing. Giving the track a whole new presence but still being able to retain the original feel. (Orphan rates it better than the original!)

 

Orphan 101 & Bloodman feat. Soraya Saberi

Au-Delà

All The Way

 

 

With this double A side, DecaRhythm continue releasing innovative music from across a wide spectrum. Orphan 101 and Bloodman collaborate alongside previously unheard vocalist Soraya Saberi for two unique tracks.

Au-Delà
̀Lush string swells and cinematic pads overlayed with intricate percussion evolve into epic, trance-like chord progressions. Soraya Saberi's stirring, intimate vocal floats above the rhythm adding a ghostly presence. Fused with deep sub bass, the track has strong dancefloor appeal and is sure to stand out in any DJ set.

All The Way
The rise and fall of tense pads and a brutally distorted synth bassline contrast with the emotive soprano vocals. The expansive landscape of this track flirts with techno and house while retaining the deep, dark and bassey qualities of dubstep.

 

Arkist : What Do I See

What Do I See

Out of the Sun

 

 

Arkist is a relative newcomer on the dubstep scene but is already making waves. His recent US tour with fellow Bristol-based DJ Wedge enabled him to introduce his sound to a greater audience and get a grasp of the international scene. His fresh attitude towards both producing and Djing defies boundaries between genres, combining dubstep, drum & bass, house and techno; This matched with his talent for creativity places his works on the cutting edge of underground music and new realms of exploration.

DecaRhythm is proud to present two of his most outstanding and defining tracks.

What do I See will hold the dubstep dancefloor in a trance with its bright, detuned synths cascading over deep flowing bass and solid driving beats. Vocal samples add to the atmosphere and keep the listener on edge.

Rolling bass, smooth synths and a tough tribal beat make Out of the Sun a pioneering musical journey. This tune does not shy away from harmony and fresh emotion yet boasts the energy to electrify the crowd.

Arkist expertly balances strong dancefloor power with soulful melodies and soundscapes resulting in this must-have release for any electronic music fan, perfect for the dancefloor or for the listener at home.

Review from Residant Advisor: Rated 3/5
"The quick rise of Bristol's Arkist emphasizes the continued importance of geography in the internet age. A few months ago, he was virtually unknown outside of the bass-obsessed city. Now, he's had three releases on various Bristol labels, and suddenly received attention from all corners of the expansive dubstep world. His effort for the equally fresh-faced Deca Rhythm label (helmed by Bristolians Bloodman, Orphan101 and Headhunter) is the best of the three, and though he's clearly still finding his feet, the graceful movements of "Out of the Sun" and "What Do I See" are enough to distract while he keeps looking.

Arkist's cheery but reserved melodies are an interpretation of the ever-potent tropical aesthetic as viewed from the window of an English bedroom, touched with an unmistakable note of melancholy. "What Do I See" is so buttery smooth, it's a wonder that it even stands erect. Every sound is a sustained whoosh; even the drums sound curiously slowed. It's a mesmerizing sensation that feels like skating on pudding, and the chilled-out vibes are complemented by tinkling piano trills. It leans dangerously close to chill out territory, but then again it's hard not to get comfortable when you're sitting in a room made entirely of pillows. "Out of the Sun" uses a dash more force, but its swing is mellifluous and the beats hit softly, the pitter-patter of raindrops falling on that aforementioned bedroom window. While he's not exactly ready to set the world on fire, Arkist is finding his way there, and tracks like these are a decent start."

 

Bloodman : Remote Viewing

Remote Viewing

Deep Fish

 

 

A long history of producing and refining his sound has led Bloodman to collaborate with Orphan 101 and Headhunter on the DecaRhythm project, a brand new record label opening doors to new forms of experimental music within Dubstep, Techno and Electronica.

His tracks have received support and plays from the likes of Appleblim, Benga, Jakes, Komonazmuk, Gatekeeper, Wedge, D1, F and The Others.

Remote Viewing / Deep Fish is Bloodman's debut release and fine example of his skills as a producer; defining his own personal sound within the different branches of his work.

Review from i-DJ Magazine: Rated 8/10
"Avoiding any en vogue trends, Bloodman serving up two unashamedly musical tracks. 'Deep Fish' grapples with haunting harmonies and domineering synth lines that call to mind early electronica, while 'Remote Viewing' doesn't let up any either, rising to an almost- trancey crescendo of sound but neatly sidestepping any hint of cheese... 8 / 10"

 

Headhunter & Orphan 101

Headhunter: Hocus Pocus

Headhunter & Orphan 101: V.7.01

 

 

Where it all started DECA001. Classicly explorative tracks from two of the founding members Headhunter and Orphan 101.

Review from Residant Advisor: Rated 3.5/5
Even considering the tendency for Bristol producers to start labels and collaborate in seemingly endless new combinations, it must be said that Headhunter gets around. Forgetting for a second that he's behind the Addison Groove moniker—the name tearing apart the dubstep world with its juke-influenced productions—he always seems to be showing up somewhere. (Not to mention that "Headhunter Remix" is a common suffix in 2010, to say the least.)

New label (based in Bristol, of course) Deca Rhythm's first release comes from Headhunter and newbie Orphan101, fresh off of his debut release for another new Bristol fledgling, Saigon Recordings. The solo Headhunter track ("Hocus Pocus") is the kind of techy dubstep goodness we've come to expect from Tony Williams, meaty drums and ropey bass forming a solid foundation for the splintered synth riff that taunts the track. It teases out little bits of aggression from the seemingly perfunctory rhythm, as the interlocking percussion turns into an orchestra of clicks and thuds.

It's the flip (and collaboration) that's far more interesting, though, as Orphan 101's preoccupation with the 4/4 side of things comes to the fore. "V.701" is a straight-up techno track, with a miniscule kick drum beating proudly as pads faintly swell on the sidelines. What's most fascinating is how it incorporates trendy UK garage tropes into a techno framework. The liquid synths and breathless vocal snippets sound oddly naked without the characteristic syncopation underpinning them, but there's a thrill to be had in this sort of nudity. Might as well embrace the voyeurism; it's a brave move to make your first release so split down the middle, and there's a thrill to be had there too. That it's not one bit off-putting to have these two tracks side-by-side is even a little heartwarming.
