‘#Back Of The Stack’, catching up with artists in the scene every 2 weeks reminiscing on some of their favourite tracks from back in the day. No real rules, just sharing some musical knowledge and reflecting on the past….

After taking a slight hiatus, we’re back continuing from where we left off with a brand new feature from Acid Lab. The German based producer is well known within the scene and has been producing under a number of aliases since 2008 which include: Acid Lab, Ahmad & Kodama. We asked Acid Lab to select 3 tracks to reflect on…

Photek – Ni Ten Ichi Ryu (Two Swords Technique) (1997)

The man behind the Photek project, Rupert Parkes did a masterpiece of Breakbeat science back in the day. He mixed his really unique beats, with Material Arts samples and a very deep tom tom like bassline and sculpted it to perfection. I love this track since day one. It’s all about the space between the beats, there is so much rhythmic madness going on. Unbelievable that it is 20 years old and it still sounds, clean, sharp and heavy at the same time. A timeless classic.

Makai – Beneath The Mask (1998)

“Beneath The Mask” has a stunning sample from the Anime movie “Ghost in the Shell” and the video clip featured different scenes from that film, too. The music sums up a minimal Techstep vibe! Just check out a relentless beat, with highpass filtered Midrange basses and a really haunting vocal sample. That’s it! The tracks rolls and rolls and rolls. It was my first contact with German D&B artists Kabuki and Mainframe, also known as Jan Henning and Frank Marheineke.

Dots & Dashes – Polyswing (1998)

Dots & Dashes was the German answer to Source Direct and Photek. They used similar sounds, but sounded quiet different. The little breakfills and edits were amazing and blew my mind away. It is a very experimental tune, still playable today and after years a dream of mine came true and I got the chance to remix a tune from Daniel Myer, one half of Dots & Dashes. So if you got some left, have a listen to my version of “The Bomb” (Kodama remix), which was released on Alphacut some years ago. The whole “Aircutter” album is a wicked ride through the D&B cosmos.
These three tracks plus many others, inspired and motivated me to start making Drum & Bass music back in the day. Thx a lot!

  • It’s time for another killer edition of Back of the Stack, with the selections this time around coming from one of Manchester’s finest exports, the junglist MC and all round top bloke @chimpomcr

It is rare to find an artist who can be so proficient across multiple disciplines of drum and bass, from rap to production to DJ’ing, but Chimpo crosses between all three with apparent ease. With his new album dropping next month, the the man himself gives us a taste of some of the classic cuts that helped shape his awesome style of filthy bars and filthier bass lines.

  • PREMIERE: Villem - "Deep Step"

@villem_murkt returns to @symmetryrecordings for his first solo release, with two jungle influenced tracks. A versatile producer, Villem has graced different styles over the past decade and whilst his output keeps you guessing, his reputation for quality is never in doubt.

‘Deep Step’ flips this inspiration, as serene strings and pads lead into heavy, cascading breaks; crashing and alternating throughout, coalesced by thumping bass kicks.

  • Dutch artist @_nymfo_ has released music on some of the biggest labels in the scene, but one he keeps coming back to is Total Science’s CIA Records. Having recently released the “Stone Cold EP” on @ciarecords69 we hit him up to have a quick chat about what he’s been he
  • 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.
