MethLab Recordings

Artists // Audeka (feat. Rawtekk) Release // Engine Block EP Label // MethLab Recordings Artwork by JAG77/Greenaway & Greenaway Release Dates // Inner Core - 21.12.17 Worldwide - 01.02.18 The ENGINE BLOCK EP was inspired by learning about the functions and components of the internal combustion engine. We were fascinated with precision required for the design to work, as well as the human ingenuity required to bring it to fruition. AUDEKA With the ENGINE BLOCK EP - US production trio AUDEKA deliver a manifesto of their ongoing awe-inspiring approach to immaculate sound design of true depth, laced with profound musicality. Audeka bring a unique touch to every genre they approach with each of the tracks within cutting an exceptional and unique mark in electronica. The sonic make-up of the Engine Block EP delivers another step in the career of one of the most unique and capable production outfits currently creating, unleashing a release that breaks boundaries to build a multi-faceted cut into a range of genres approached from their distinctive audio palette. The results define an exceptional approach to music, with Audeka standing in their own right as a genre in themselves - that rare breed of artist that cannot be nailed down and that brings something unique to the table everytime. Unpredictable and relentlessly evolving - the ENGINE BLOCK EP follows up Audeka's ground-breaking 'Lost Souls' LP (nominated as one of the best albums of 2016 by UKF), with a release that clearly sets this gifted creative force apart as one of the most exciting sounds of the future.

Artist // Disprove Release // Hard Problem & Automatic Label // MethLab Recordings Release Dates // MethLab Inner Core - 21.11.17 JOIN INNER CORE // https://goo.gl/forms/OUPmJOtA1ji2JVSg2 Streaming Services & Youtube - 12.12.17 Bandcamp - 19.12.17 Worldwide - 21.12.17 FOLLOW DISPROVE // https://soundcloud.com/disprove DISPROVE follows up his EPOCH EP on METHLAB RECORDING’s BNKR series with a succinctly powerful pair of tracks - HARD PROBLEM // AUTOMATIC - that dare to experiment and bring a refreshing take on drum & bass with each slice of the evolved weaponry within. Title track HARD PROBLEM issues a tightly engineered and percussion-driven journey that represents masterclass in making timeless and stripped-down tech that’s complex whilst still retaining all the energy and drive required to send the rave wild. AUTOMATIC enters more aggressively into the cyberpunk realm, with a synthetic vocal line providing a rich technological character to the track’s intro before giving way to a mighty evolution that sees the track re-version itself into a mechanically heavy sequence array. One of the most promising, yet understated producers of the current generation, DISPROVE’s commitment to fresh ideas, backed with his unique dynamic range and exceptional production abilities, sees him continue evolving and adapt to a constantly changing audio environment. Drawing inspiration from multiple genres and sounds, and with releases behind him on some of d&b’s leading labels such as Invisible, Eatbrain and Critical - the future beckons to one of today’s most gifted electronic artists.

Their awe-inspiring approach to immaculate sound design of true depth, laced with profound musicality is on full display here with Audeka bringing a unique touch to every genre they approach. Each of these tracks cuts very differently, with the raw abrasive force of 'DIRECT INJECTION''s aggressive and stripped stance on drum and bass and the complex syncopation experiments of its halfstep second drop; whilst 'Dark Energy' sees Audeka pairing up once again with the equally pioneering force of RAWTEKK to manifest a powerful breakbeat piece at an epic scale - a true and extended journey into an audio creation with extensive depth that ignites the imagination with its darkly emotive core.

Silent Witness is an artist who has been an almost invisible but essential force in the evolution of tech-oriented d&b that retains a funk edge and an utterly precise ethic. The artful employment of his deep knowledge of audio manipulation is clearly visible in both tracks, embodied in the full, rich sound and their driven, powerful edge. One of the core artists in the MethLab collective, Silent Witness follows up the relentless ‘Ambush’ from their Revenant VA and the incredibly popular ‘High Flyer’ that appeared on MethLab vol.1 (released on Bad Taste Recordings). He has graced an impressive array of labels in his long-running career, including Metalheadz, Critical Music, Dispatch and Commercial Suicide. His impact on the drum & bass scene has been long and deep, and with these 2 tracks signifying a new wave of material (and rumours of his debut LP) from one of the scene’s most compelling creators, that mark is only set to deepen further. Silent Witness – ‘Argonaut // Drop It’ – follows up Disphonia's 'Disintegrate // Code Red' and is the next in an impactful series of singles arriving on MethLab Recordings. It's also the first official release to arrive exclusively to members of the MethLab Inner Core, an extended subscription service for those closest to the label, 4 weeks in advance of the official release date.

The EP operates as a manifesto of where he is heading as a solo artist, displaying both his techno and drum and bass influences clearly, as well as a clear sensitivity and ability to define powerful sonics with the approach of a minimalist. Bringing a wide range of fellow Berlin-based creators, including Coppa, Current Value, Monolog, Henning and a new collaboration with Allied. The Epoch EP represents a personal journey through the complex tastes of a true pioneer in audio and experimentation from an artist who has consistently carved out his own sound.
