JULY 2008 - OUT NOW:

Vile Enginez:
Cycadelic / Tool
(Sub/Version 013)
After several months on white label Vile Enginez' new release on Sub/Version is out this week – a mind trip through devilish labyrinths of a myriad of sound constructions.  Vile Enginez, hailing for Basel, CH, has produced his most innovative and complex record yet – and look for his next Zhark Intl. release sometime in the future.  Taking up the Sub/version project of twisting drum n bass and smashing up whatever has become standard for the genre, Vile Enginez  bizarre creation clearly demonstrates his masterful production and technical skills.  “Cycadelic” might be best described as creating the feeling of a black magic trip spurned on by female power gone mad – this is a track that will push everyone on the dance floor to extremes.  “Tool” works perfectly with the dynamic of “Cycadelic” making a forceful totality of this 12” (played at 33 rpm).   Hard-hitting beats, crazed ambiences, distorted full powered bass and rhythmic complexities abound!

Available now from

and all good record shops and mail orders shortly
Distributed by Praxis, Toolbox, L.O.A.D. Media, and the subnet of underground distribution networks.

 

Sub/Version 013 by Vile Enginez featuring the tracks Cykadelic and Tool has been mastered and is now on white! Exact release date will be announced shortly!

L.O.A.D. Media have picked up copies of the DJ Hidden and Amboss records on Sub/Version for distribution in the UK.
This means they should be available through any shops in the UK stocking hard drum'n'bass!

Release date is August 6th 2007, here's the blurb:
SUB VERSION 010 – SUB VERSION RECS – DJ HIDDEN – THE GEHENNA DEVICE / CORRUPT
This label has never been distributed in the UK before so we decided to give it a go. dj hidden brings his tearing drums and heavy b-line that he delivers in his own unique way which gives him his identity, his previous releases on other labels have done well as he has his own fan base, this guy is awesome and these two tracks do not disappoint.

SUB VERSION 011 – SUB VERSION RECS – AMBOSS – NITRO / RAZOR PLEASURE
Number 11 in this series brings the hardcore producer Amboss to the fold, fans of the breakcore sound will go mad for its manic paced breaks with a four four feel, and booming b-line, aptly named ‘Nitro’ for all you hardcore ravers. More of the same style for the aa as ‘Razor Pleasure’ slashes away at your eardrums, heavy dark speeded up amen breaks with grinding bass and growling mid range sweeps will smash your head open! Watch floors go crazy as this drops. Oh my gosh.

If your local store doesn't carry them in the next couple weeks, hassle them to get'em in stock!

... and while we're at it - here's the review of the Amboss record on the Ad Noiseam store:
"Germany's Amboss is starting to make quite a name for himself. Following his early ultra-noisy and raggacoresque loves, he's switching to drum'n'bass for Praxis's Sub/version imprint, and delivers two great DJ-tracks, in the pure broken, twisted tradition of this label. Drum'n'bass not for the faint of heart, but with an uncommon care brought to the recording quality and sound design for Amboss. Great ammo for anybody who like their drum'n'bass gritty, dark and pounding."

OUT NOW:

RE-PRESSED:
DJHidden:
The Gehenna Device/Corrupt 12”
(Sub/Version 010)
A number of recent releases and remixes on labels such as Killing Sheep, Outbreak, Soothsayer and others have shown DJ Hidden to be one of the most powerful operators in hard drum’n’bass. Tightly edited and effectively produced, his tracks add a special twist to a genre often caught in conventions, and are thus a perfect addition to the continuing Sub/Version by bass and beats. Now available again after being sold out for a shot time.

More news about forthcoming releases soon!
