M3 and Upfront Industries LLC present:
Rinse Magazine, District Soul and DCDNB sponsored event
THE RESIDENCE
HIVE [ Violence | Metalheadz ] - SF
Since the inception of the label, Hive’s musical output has grown ever more assertive and daring, personified most clearly by “Neo,” one of 2003’s great anthems. “Neo” has reached into virtually every corner of drum and bass, from dedicated ravers to disaffected breaks aficionados, binding fans of different stripes together in common cause. Hive has also been spending more time in the studio with collaborators, including Keaton of The Usual Suspects. The two of them were responsible “The Plague,” another massive anthem of 2003, released on Hardware. 2004 saw the release of their even more broadly appealing follow-up “Bring it On,” for Violence.
Tough, propulsive, forged out of both the traditional sampled aesthetic and leading sound designs of contemporary drum and bass, the sound of Hive today bears the imprint of an artist searching for new ways to reinterpret the music by his own lights. Neither a retrospective purist, nor a follower of fashion, Hive’s music, his DJing, and his label strike a steely, inspiring balance, hewing closely to a tight creative vision that has propelled him into the forefront of drum and bass wherever it thrives.
LOGISTICS [ Hospital | Liquid V ] - UK
After Exploding onto the scene with his first Hospital release "Replay" in March 2004, Logistics went full steam ahead. Next up was "Together" which can only be described as an anthem, smashing up dancefloors everywhere from Land's End to John O Groats, it was finally released not only on the "Future Sound Of Cambridge EP" but also in VIP form as part of the mighty "Spacejam" EP, which continues to sell - many moons after its initial release.
With a Logistics remix now becoming one of the hottest things in drum and bass it didn’t take long before producers came knocking… remixes included, one for US house crew Mood To Swing for Zinc's Bingo Label, a remix for Friction on Tru Playaz and don't forget his seminal remix of Leviticus's 90s classic "The Burial" for Liquid V.
Now in 2006 and established by IDJ as “Soulful D&B’s brightest young thing” Logistics is ready to unleash the 25 track monster debut, “Now More Than Ever”, showcasing two sides to this young prodigy in one fantastic album, "Believe the hype", this is the drum and bass debut of 2006.
VERSE [ Crunch | Renegade Hardware ] - UK
Verse joins a select crop of owners, an MC with a label as he works towards the first Crunch release. In between touring and travelling, Verse has found sufficient studio time to write alongside DKay, BCUK, Keaton, Bad Company and join the Fifth Element crew deep with Loxy & Ink. Postponed due to distribution issues that collective are far from buried we’re assured. Verse releases have rounded out across Renegade Hardware and Outbreak; he duly returns to productions for his personal ends, Crunch Recordings.
KIKO vs CAZ [ DSCI4 | The Hamptons ] - DC/NYC
