Introducing PAWS

We caught up with a brand new label, ‘PAWS’ brought to you by a young trio of producers hailing from London, launching their brand new label on 21 April. To celebrate their first single we’ve teamed up for a  competition give-away to win a ‘PAWS 001 Test Press’.  All you’ve got to do is share & like the post via our Facebook page. Anyway, here’s what the PAWS crew had to say when we caught up with them…

Welcome guys… So can you shed some light on who’s involved in Paws and tell us a little about yourselves?

Ez Nick, big ups for having us. Paws is a new label from Dissect, Sicknote & J Bionic. We have all been into the music for many years & DJ’d on Rude FM at varying points in that time (big up the Rude FM crew). Dissect and J have known each other since mid-2000’s and have been writing tunes together since 2006. We both met Sicknote out raving in the last couple of years and through our mutual friend, Horrific James.

I’m intrigued as to the name behind the label. Tell us more?
It’s a play on the word Pause with the addition that Dissect has a dog that thinks he’s the 4th producer whenever we’re writing beats – he’s always in the middle of the action at Dissect’s studio (big up Spanner every time)!

What have you guys got planned so far for releases and what have you got in store for 2017?
First up is PAWS001 which will be out on the 21st April. We then have another two 12” releases (002 and 003) all ready to go so keep an eye out for those in the coming months. The tracks come thick and fast when we’re in the studio, we’ve definitely got enough on the hard drive to do another 3 x 12” after PAWS003 drops, so we’ll probably start looking ahead to releasing more this year!

It’s great to see you guys are pressing vinyl with your PAWS label. It must be difficult in 2017 what with the sudden surge in popularity in ‘vinyl’.  What challenges have you faced? Could you give any advice to any other labels out there trying to do what you guys are doing?
We would all say that if you have the drive to do it then just go and do it! As with any risk you’ll take in life there can be problems and barriers but the whole process has been worthwhile. We’re all vinyl collectors so having your own beats on wax is very rewarding.

How do you guys work in the studio? Does one work more on a particular aspect like mix downs or drum programming for example? (more importantly who makes the better studio tea?)
Most of the vibes and main ideas happen at Dissect’s studio. We have spent many late nights there getting ideas down, joking around and pretty much building the tracks in their entirety. Most of the mixdowns are completed at Sicknote’s studio where we can run our tracks through some outboard gear and get them sounding nice and phat. But the whole process from start to finish is a joint effort, we’re all there for the vibes of writing, mix downs and mastering sessions. Got to say that J and Dissect’s tea making skills are on point but don’t let Sicknote make you a tea as he’s never been near a kettle!

Run us through your studio set up?
Dissect: currently running Cubase 5.1 on PC with a pair of Adam A7X’s, Edirol PCR-M30 keyboard, Technics 1210’s and a Numark DM2000x mixer.
Sicknote: currently running Logic Pro 9 on Mac which goes through a MOTU interface to a Mackie 24/08 which is where all the outboard gear is connected.

Kit list:
Mackie 24/08
Lexicon LXP15-II
Yamaha R1000 EMU – E5000 Drawmer DL231 Alesis Quad Verb (donated by J)
Panasonic SV4100
KRK Rokit 8’s

If you could pick any artist to work with who would it be and why?
J Bionic – Total Science – 1993 to now they have smashed out so many good tunes.
Dissect – Jonny L – His production is levels and has been since 1994 but Total Science is the very closest of close seconds.
Sicknote – Dillinja – Don’t think anyone has mastered basslines like Dillinja. I’d love to bring back some of those mental distorted 808 basslines and massive rugged beats!

Top 3 tunes in the bag at the moment?
Dissect – Manix – Hardcore Junglism (Total Science remix) because it hasn’t left my bag in a good 10 years.
Jay Bionic – Shookz & That Jimmy Person – Say Nothing (Dapz Jungle remix)
Sicknote – Ricky Force – The Cause (Skeleton Recordings)

 Any artist we need to watch out for?
We would say keep an eye out for all the small, independent labels that are really pushing things at the moment by pressing vinyl and supporting the original Drum and Bass / Jungle sound.

Any final words/ shout outs?
Big up Horrific James and Horrific Recordings, Will and Tom G.H.O.S.T Crew, Matt and all the crew at Unearthed sounds, Bassbox Ben J, Rico, Soul Beat Runner, Ben Gipson, Soul Intent, Brian Monita, The Rude FM family, Stu at Metropolis, Digital, Flava and all you boys and girls at In-Reach!!

  • 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 ♥️
