A little bit of Drum n Bass news

Hello and good evening :)

I thought i spread some news i got to know and which might be of interest.

Calibre is working on a brand new EP (Back 2 Forward), which supposed to be out in some weeks and i guess its worth to listen. I hope that either the OHOI guys or DNBzone will get him in town at some point as he is really standing for high quality. Nice follow up to Hype :)

Artificial Intelligence is on this weeks Breezeblock with a great DNB set. They play the most recent records and its a nice mix of Liquid Funk and melodic Drum and Bass. I realize that even if Liquid Funk isnt a musical style for it self, everybody is talking about it and its being used everywhere. Grooverider also made Fun of it in one of his recent shows by calling himself Liquid Funk :) But he is right, Liquid Funk is everywhere. So what is Liquid Funk? A CD? A Compilation? New Genre in DNB? As always is the truth somewhere out there. Btw. Ed Rush & Optical is on L Double's show on BBC 1xtra this week, so you can relisten to the two shows untill monday, respective tuesday night.

Big big recommandation from me: GET THE NEW NOISIA EP!!!
These three dutchies are the next upcoming stars, after Pendulum if you ask me. Very high quality of production and the creativity of their releases is a blast. They really go their own direction. I have a couple of their releases now and its really interesting to see that each one differs from the other. They made a great remix of Visage's Fade to Gray in Drum n Bass style and their new EP THE TIDE / CONCUSSION is just a Blast. Including my favorit Lekker (Dutch: ~wicked, cool, great) which is a total dancefloor smasher. So keep an eye on these guys!
Btw. It is released on their own vision imprint, and if you want to know how the name came of.. turn the word VISION around and you'll know it ;)
