With two brand new cuts, for their next single the drum & bass duo
DC Breaks have teamed up with an underground heavyweight, a
collaboration which was only rumoured until Friction’s first play on
Radio1. Label head of Trend Kill recordings and an artist who’s
toured extensively since his first output, Prolix has joined forces
with DC Breaks, a familiar name for hardened fans and newcomers
alike.
With releases on some of the most prolific labels, this collaboration
sees Prolix’s welcome return to the Ram imprint. Both parties have
already gained international recognition, stacking up a huge array
of tour dates between them, stretching from mainstream festivals to
the more darkened club circuit. And although unexpected, the
merging of three minds like the one you’re about to experience is
nothing short of ground-breaking, pushing the genre’s dynamics
and bringing together two totally different stylistic features.
First up, DC Breaks and Prolix presents a fresh sonic art work in the
form of ‘Embargo’. A dancefloor record which sees them once again
follow down their darker roots, it features ethereal vocal sample
filtering between clanking drums and punchy synth. There’s a quick
pause, with the track beginning to pull itself in underneath you.
Then it drops into anarchy, with crushing LFO and crunching snare.
DC Breaks are back to their dirtier tricks and ‘Embargo’ is the perfect
example of that.
On the flipside, ‘Infinity’ features the same nastily slick production.
A foreboding build up begins to unravel, before bit by bit you’re
pulled on top of a pounding bassline. Punchy stabs and clinking
percussion weave in and out of the composition, with quick firing
beats hitting you from all directions. Prolix adds his distorted
production might, helping to create a driving riddim that’s sure to
explode in any set this winter. Although unanticipated, this
collaboration is about to set cyberspace alight.
With an LP laying just out of sight for DC Breaks, 2017 is looking to
be a big year. But this time, they’ve delivered for the murkier
months...
