Quite exactly one year after “Kira” [T-FREE056], Air J returns to T-FREE with a remix of Larrge’s debut tune “Black Hole” [T-FREE074]. This remix keeps the essence of the original’s qualities (”100% technoid, free of melody but not “hard”), keeping a complete focus on rythm and percussion. It increases the intensity with a 4/4 bassdrum and gets quite schranzy, but it keeps rolling and does not turn to the Gabba side of the force. So, Air J does honour to the tune and to himself. Those who like the original should love the remix!

Anode is one half of Gravity Zero, a duo from Osaka, Japan who have released 3 tunes on Digital Venom and one on T-FREE [T-FREE048] in 2008. Now, he makes his solo artist debut on T-FREE with this lovely piece entitled “Spread”. It could be said to be influenced not only by classical Techno sound but also by Goa-Trance, showing Anode’s ability to combine technoid structures and counterdynamic rythmic textures with deeply musical content and melodic themes. For 2010, he has more of his solo tunes signed to Equinox and other labels… coming soon. It is highly recommended to keep an eye on him!

The second tune on T3K-LTD is again a track by Neural from Portugal. The follow up of “Copasetic” (see T3K-LTD001) is another clear statement for reece-based rinse-out sound and shows not only the talent of young producer Neural but also that he is definitely one to look out for in the future!

T3K launches the subseries to present a talented newcomer from Lisboa, Portugal:
Neural is only 19 years old but his works are convincing stuff. “Copasetic” (T3K-LTD001) shows Neural`s musical socialization mainly of the Ed Rush/Optical-type of Drum N Bass. It representatively shows the respect of so many young and upcoming artists for those living legends who carved their names into stone with the musical benchmark album called “Wormhole”. Also, T3k demonstrates with this release its diversity in releasing high grade Drum N Bass!
Neural - “Copasetic” –> 128 kbps mp3 clip

French producers Kenei (busy at the moment with setting up his own label with Brainfuzz) and Eiton (see T3K011: “Pneumo”) form the project “n0te” and they realized a big one called “The Six Names” quite a while ago.
A very heavy midrange-based killer which never was picked up by a label. Kaiza, a big fan of the works of those french artists, always liked the track a lot and wondered about the status of this tune one day and contacted both producers. Kenei was not too font about the idea of releasing the old version and promised other new material to be released on T3K, but switched his opinion some weeks later and remade the track for a new 2009 version: it is a very big honour for T3K to bring you this big work of modulated midrange, rough rhythm and astonishing atmosphere. “The Six Names 2009″ will catch you and take your breath!

“Starkstrom” by Kaiza and Shots has been released on the netlabel Internet Recordings (www003) on 2009-12-07:
Kaiza + Shots - “Starkstrom” –> 320 kbps mp3 (mirror)
Kaiza from Mannheim is without doubt the most active Techno-DNB artist in Germany. He was one of the first artists to systematically focus on this style together with his former studio partner amex and actually coined the term “Techno-DNB” in early 2004. He has actively shaped this music and the scene on many levels ever since its official formation in 2005, and in 2009 alone he has produced over 70 tunes together with Shots, Try and Error, Isotop, D-Struct, Bassrk, Eiton, Mefjus and other artists; plus he released over 40 of them in all formats and on numerous labels, including his own digital imprint T3K and his mother label Tilt-Recordings (& T-Files), which he co-founded in 2003, and the affiliate netlabel T-FREE. Aside from producing and releasing technoid Drum & Bass, maintaining his own label for technoid Drum & Bass and playing mostly Neurofunk and technoid Drum & Bass when being booked to events, Kaiza has been covering almost all facets of Drum & Bass in his mixes over the past years, but also Reggae/Dancehall, Dubstep, House, Techno and Hiphop. Furthermore he has been hosting the weekly and versatile Drum & Bass radio show DMF since 2001 and used to organize parties for Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Techno, House and Breaks in the Mannheim area.
Shots is a very talented and crazy producer hailing from Palatinate (near Mannheim) in Germany. He first appeared at the surface of the scene with his fulminant debut “Burning Identity” (together with his long time studio partner Isotop) on T-FREE in early 2008 and then released a handful of collaborations with Isotop and The Phalanx plus three solo tunes on Tilt-Reordings (& T-Files), T-FREE, Wayside and T3K; and he started to occasionally make tunes together with Kaiza in fall 2008. In the course of 2009, the two artists put out 6 straight collaborations and 10 more tunes together with Isotop on vinyl, digital labels and netlabels like Metafiziq, Abducted, Fish Recordings and Anxiety Disorder and of course the already mentioned Kaiza affiliated labels. And still there are many more tunes on the release schedule…

Larrge is a DJ and producer from Sevilla, Spain. He has been deejaying for 12 years and finally made the next step to producing tunes in 2008. “Black Hole” is his debut: a functional tune, 100% technoid, free of melody but not “hard”. It is built on rhythm and variation, laying out a texture of interconnecting percussion loops. Larrge obviously know what kind of tunes a DJ needs in his sets, and he does cater that need. Soon, more of his works will be coming on other netlabels such as Necroid and Fish Recordings.

Eiton is a young newcomer producer/DJ from France. He is part of the promoting association “UNC.Audio” and does produce as “n0te” together with Kenei. Eiton has been making waves in the Techno-DNB scene even before his first release: his epic “Kopilot” was a huge underground hit ever since mid 2008. In 2009 it was released on Impakt Records, shortly after his debut “Ethanol” (alongside a Pyro Remix) on the Digital Venom label. He has also released tunes on Melting Pot Digital, T3K Recordings and the Belgian netlabels Necroid and Cyber Crunk. He is also signed to Synchronize Recordings, SCPTX, Sinuous, Insekto and some coming-soon-labels. In summary, there is no doubt that Eiton will make his way trough the ranks of technoid Drum & Bass.
