Side C: Martsman - Antifunk - Click for audio preview (MP3)

German Newcomer Martin Heinze aka Martsman got into Drum & Bass around the end of the 90s. Artists like Alpha Omega, 4hero, Sonar Circle and Squarepusher had a formative influence on him during the first years and after witnessing a Paradox live set in 2001, his ever growing interest in Drum & Bass evolved to the point where he began to produce his own music.

With his affection for prominent basslines and stumbling breaks in combination with glitchy edits and bleepy minimalism, Martsman has developed a unique musical style which extends the current perception of Drum & Bass.

His vinyl debut in 2005 on New York based Offshore Recordings as well as digital releases on net-labels Exegene and Plainaudio have received recognition from all over the Leftfield scene.

His debut 'Antifunk' on Counter Intelligence features his distinct flavour of Drum & Bass and at the same time reminisces the glory days of the Bristolian label Full Cycle.
Jump funk for the New Golden Age of Drum & Bass!!

Keep an eye out for forthcoming Martsman material here on Counter Intelligence and on Offshore, Breakin and AlphaCut.

Side I: Cartridge - Just Let Go - Click for audio preview (MP3)

The enfant terrible of the drum'n'bass scene, Scott Koladich a.k.a. Cartridge, would have been a glamrocker had he lived before his time.
He steps up to the plate with the masterful 'Just Let Go', which was produced 5 years ago according to Scott himself.

The tune has everything befitting a (timeless) future classic-to-be: a hypnotizing vocal hookline, a tough B-boy-weight rolling breakbeat workout and a throbbing pulsating bassline propelling the tune ever forward into the breakdown where layers of trance-inspired pads introduce the second coming and together with the unrelenting vocal line lift the tune to it's climactic apotheosis.

Cartridge has officially quit Drum & Bass, as Scott has claimed several times over the last few years, but his gems keep (re)surfacing, so you never know what to expect in the future.
Do check out his band, Lazersnake, at http://www.myspace.com/lazrsnake for a healthy dosage of "new-wave post-pop".
