Halogenix – All Blue EP

Metalheadz are keeping to form as always, this time with one of the most stand out EP’s of the year so far by Halogenix. By now you should be more than familiar with the name, with Halogenix forming one part of the alchemy that is drum and bass super group, Ivy Lab.
Just oozing class; ‘All Blue’ is the exceptional portrayal of Halogenix’s evident love for soulful moving drum and bass. Each track truly encompasses that inimitable style that we have become addicted to through his previous work and of that with Ivy Lab; displaying his diversity as an artist and the eclecticism he can bring to the table.
Halogenix by Chelone Wolf (High Res)-5‘All Blue’ is the incredible title track, featuring the stunning soul drenched tones of award winning UK Jazz virtuoso Cleveland Watkiss. The listener is greeted with atmospheric, crackling pads as the track advances into the sultry, sophisticated vocals of Watkiss and typical Halogenix snappy drums and shuffled hi-hat notes before breaking into an enthralling journey of exquisite sub-bass and off beat cymbal work that perfectly compliments the warm vocals. Halogenix really creates emotion with this one and whets the palate for whats to come.

Next is ‘Beyond The Bounds’ with a faded in jungle esque drum break. Switching up the mood with this one; the track progresses with echoing vocal chops and delicate drum work before partnering with the main hook and droning subs. ‘Beyond The Bounds’ has an almost shadowy feel to it, as if venturing into the abyss but with the glimmer of light that is the warm enchanting vocal hook.

Halogenix by Chelone Wolf (High Res)-1Stepping up a gear is the aptly named ‘Shank’. From the outset we can feel the tempo has been upped, with no holds barred from Halogenix on this club ready bouncer. With shuffling drum work and stab-like synths, this one definitely hits in the right spot and is sure to go off!

‘Shores’ brings us back to theme again with tight spacial drums, delicate piano notes and reverberated percussion quickly partnered with the haunting vocal. Then comes that sound we all know with that signature Ivy Lab horn – Well, that’s what I’m going to call it. Creating a flourishing melancholic roller; Halogenix has hit the nail on the head with this one.

Halogenix by Chelone Wolf (High Res)-3Last but by no means least is the digital exclusive ‘Paper Sword’ with the emotive topic that’s been exhibited throughout the EP being upped once again. The intro of soft shaking percussion and claps effortlessly slides into the captivating vocal and drop, laced with dramatic piano notes and an organic synth. This track’s progressive pace makes it one of the stand out sounds from the EP for me.

In summary, ‘All Blue’ shows exactly what Halogenix is about – Pure soulful vibes, a hint of introspection and pinches of bouncy club-fit sounds. This is an essential for any head, whether its just for private listening or dropping in the dance.
The physical release is already sold out on the Metalheadz webstore, so head to your favourite retailer to grab your own. Alternatively, this phenomenal EP is available on WAV and MP3 format for the ‘Headz webstore and all good retailers.

  • 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 ♥️
