Nucleus & Paradox – Division/Tell Me The Truth (Gremlinz Rmx) – Esoteric018

A lot of names spring to mind when contemplating the top producers in the drum & bass scene; the genre has such a rich history that one could spend an eternity pondering questions of who’s the most influential,  the most prolific, the most technically skilled etc. Whether we’re talking past or present, the scene has such a high concentration of production skill and artistic talent, that it can be easy to overlook some of the most masterful craftsmen around. One duo who I feel don’t get enough recognition in this sense is Nucleus & Paradox. These guys have releases under their belts dating back to the early 90’s and have been working together for over 20 years. Between them they’ve put out music on some of the most seminal labels in drum & bass, with their sound gracing the likes of Reinforced Records, Metalheadz, Good Looking Records, Moving Shadow and many more! The quality and quantity of the pair’s output has seemingly never dropped off and theres no change with their latest 12”. Esoteric018 marks the third release of 2017 on Nucleus & Paradox’s own collaborative imprint and the sound is as powerful as ever!

Starting with the A side, we have ‘Division’. The peaceful intro slowly grows in confidence until it’s abruptly shoulder barged to the sidelines by the outrageously weighty drums, which dare I say, have an air of Mark System about them, and when we’re talking big bassy drums, compliments don’t come much bigger than that. The guys have absolutely nailed this one, managing to achieve the illusive combo of a bass line thats clean and clear while remaining oh so deep. Let’s just say if you hear the track in the dance you’re gonna know all about it.

On the flip we’re greeted with an absolute stormer of a remix from the screw face inducer that is Gremlinz; this rework of ‘Tell Me The Truth’ is certainly not for the faint hearted. In contrast to the A side the intro has an element of alarm in its ominous tone, and the insertion of the rolling but jittery drum break does nothing to calm the atmosphere. Some whispering vocals lead us into the drop, which has a vibe immersed in a darkness that just screams Renegade Hardware. The essence of the 2004 original is still shining through on this tremendously tough remix; Gremlinz has definitely done his part here to make this a piece of wax that’ll be worn out on both sides.

So don’t hang about on this one, click here to bag your copy and wrap your ears around some serious beats!

  • 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 ♥️
