Babylon Dead- 2000 BD

Since its inception hip hop music has always acted as a powerful voice against oppression and social injustice. A voice for those marginalised by society at the hands of corrupt governments and often racist police forces, most notably when NWA said “Fuck Tha Police” which became the theme tune to the LA riots in 1992, following the acquittal of 4 LAPD officers for the beating of Rodney King.

Fast forward to 2017 where Babylon Dead is the name, is the style, is the frequency, is the movement right now!!

For those unaware of the uprising which has be growing momentum and highly anticipated in amongst UK hip hop’s underbelly since a now mythical standout performance at Boombap Festival in 2016, Babylon Dead is made up of Jman and Illinformed and at the end of last month released their mission statement “2000 BD” on R.L.D Records.

The pair have come together to create a rapid fire audio lethal injection, with the needle tip aimed directly to the arm of any pig nosed, racist, corrupt cop or politician who holds any political power or influence in our country. Set against a dystopian background where totalitarianism has forced people to the streets armed with rocks to fight tanks, BD have crafted a deep dark and powerful message and painted such imagery with a completely unique sonic palette.

Both Jman and Illinformed demonstrate their incredible versatility on this project creating something completely fresh and unique. Jman’s raid fire ragga style vocals sit hauntingly over Illinformed’s smorgasbord of deep, dark and dangerous beats (think General Levy meets Non Phixion). A relatively short offering in length of 15 tracks totalling 36 minutes is completely made up for in content and sheer power, with banger after head nodding banger crafted into an almost cinematic experience by the lyrical content and mental imagery it creates. Huge props to Jman and Illinformed for coming together as Babylon Dead and the R.L.D camp for pioneering such an exciting and unique project.

Babylon Dead- 2000 BD is OUT NOW available from www.reallifedramarecords.com

  • After a lengthy hiatus, Back of the Stack returns! This edition plays host to a certified legend of the Drum & Bass scene in @architexink who’s dark, dirty beats have been reverberating through London’s club scene since the late 90’s. If you can think of an iconic London club night, Ink has probably had a residency there; Metalheadz at Bule Note, Hardware at The End and Speed at Mars Bar were all on the list of dancefloors being torn up by Giles on a regular basis.

  • It’s difficult for us to introduce anything 2020 related with any sort of positivity, but just for a moment, lets forget about all the struggle and strive of the past year, and take some time to reflect on some of the finest drum and bass music the past 12 months has had to offer. 
.
Speaking on behalf of the entire In-Reach.co.uk crew, we are delighted to share with you our round up of the wonderful tracks released in 2020, that we feel have stuck the middle finger up to this insufferable year!

  • DJ Trace’s first ever release was back in 1991 - 30 years later and he
  • @symmetryrecordings kick things off in 2021 with a 4-track EP from DSP, with his Fake Worlds EP. 
.
To celebrate the release, DSP has recorded a meaty 1 hour mix that showcases his ability behind the decks. With sneaky double drops and tight blends, the mix consists of highlight tracks from the last year or two, forthcoming freshness (including, of course, some tracks from the EP) and some classics thrown in for good measure.

  • @temporec present their new next release from the legendary @source_direct - SPEED is a new Tempo Records sublabel & project released on a limited collectors hand numbered 180gram coloured picture disc vinyl with original & legendary producers who helped shaping the Drum & Bass scene.
.
Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass
  • This upload is an important one for us here at In-Reach, not only because we’ve got the opportunity to debut music from a label that we collectively respect so greatly, but also because it presents the music of one of the scene’s most talented, and most sorely missed representatives: the late Andy Skopes. This release sees the breakbeat assassin go slightly of course from his usual dark jungle style to team up with the ever-wonderful, and equally prolific Madcap in a luscious, but oh-so dangerous trio of tracks. These tunes are brimming with emotion, which stems both from the posthumous nature of their release, as well as the sheer elegance and tranquility of the music. We send our salutes to both Andy and Elliot on this release, which is a wonderful reminder of how, through their music, an artists soul can live forever ♥️
