about

Manchester based DJ/producer Antagonist cues up a collection of dense and uncompromising electronic tracks on his R&S Records debut. The ‘Rites’ EP pulls together 5 new tracks that lean on the artist’s drum ‘n’ bass roots and influences, a sound that has informed his DJ sets and studio productions since he launched the project in 2004.

Channelling his productions towards the more cinematic and darker side of drum ‘n’ bass and broken beats, Antagonist has released a strong run of EPs for labels such as Samurai Music, Ronin Ordinance, One.Seventy and his own Discipline imprint, stamping his hybrid sound across these well received releases.

Layers upon layers of shadowy ambience and wistful tones are punctured by hard edged beat-science, as Antagonist goes in deep on the complex breakbeats, chopping back and forth knifelike loops and dynamic kicks. A highly accomplished debut for the R&S label from this sonically exciting young producer.

quarz is the most interesting drum&bass/electronic artist, that i discovered in the last years. i love all of his releases. he pushes the boundaries of d&b, with infusions of dubstep etc., but that are only words...he creates his own futuristic musical world, at the same time grounded in the d&b roots, a bridge from past to the future. these amazing 4 tracks are suited more for intense listening than for a dancefloor, complex beats and cinematic atmosphere, simply amazing. master at work! dub orange

A solid release all round, Type - Hummer is the standout due to its insane groove but Djinn - Tempest a very close second depthchargeuk
