Australia’s Spectrem has been efficiently going about thebusiness of making a name for himself since Techniquesigned him in 2013. Anyone who’s been following his career will be aware of the breathtaking array ofinfluences that shine through his music. His style isversatile enough to encompass everything from smoothand liquid to dark and grimy and pretty much anythingelse in between. So, what niche is he going to draw for this time?  Ahead of his new single “Culture” & “Shaolin” Mr Spectrem takes to the controls to mix this months Podcast….. Tracklist

Kronology have taken no prisoners in their assault on the scene since joining Technique last year. They’ve taken the big room sound and brought an uncompromising individuality to bear, laying out their template on their huge “Timelapse” EP. So, having made waves, now the LA team are back to deliver the aftershock. To coincide with their new single “Voyager” & “Forward Motion” we bring their brand new Technique podcast to fire up your D&B cylinders….. This release is where Kronology demonstrate they’re going in hard for 2016. Not only are they proving their consistent ability to make the big room bangers, they’re showing off a talent for twisting other sub-genres to their dancefloor-destroying will. As these tunes drop the year is still young, but these producers are already making their mark on it.

As drum and bass made deeper inroads into the sunlit land of daytime radio and mainstream acceptance in 2015, the underground scene was defined by the dark and technical sound of neurofunk. And repping that style for Technique are one of their most recent signings, the Spanish production team made up of veterans Alerstorm and Ice Stereo, a team now known as Gradual. If you haven’t caught up with Gradual’s movements yet, this is where to get on board. Their next release shows just a few of the facets that these guys can bring to their sound. Along with the cold scientific studio skills, they’ve got a raw funky rhythmic sensibility, adding up to a clear understanding of how to keep raves electrified. They’ve got a lot more to show off, so better pay attention. TECH 130 – Gradual – Beware feat.

It hasn’t taken long for Document One to define their own niche among the Technique Recordings roster. Brimming with multi-genre experience, this team has come well-equipped with a fresh and clean production style, overt musicality and uncompromising levels of funk. This month ahead of their new single release, the boys take over the Technique Podcast & deliver a cracking mix……. Small steps - Document one  Snitch - L Plus  The truth - Drumsound & Bassline smith  Panzer - Dimension  Shadows - Tantrum desire & Matrix & Futurebound  Rush connection - Culture shock  Oblivion VIP - Tantrum desire  Jazz club - Document one  Ladies night - Drumsound & Bassline smith VIP Breathe - Dc breaks (dirty mix)  Black heart - Frankee  Times - Baskerville (Document one remix)  Obsolete VIP - Quadrant, Kid Hops & Iris Simpler times - Break  Follow me - Document one  What goes up - Document one  Falling - Document one  Raindrops - L Plus  Leave it all behind - Audiosketch & Surplus Repeat - Tantrum desire Outlaw renegade - Drumsound & Bassline smith  Nightmare - Tantrum desire  AM PM - Ekko & Sidetrack  Bail out - Digital vs Drumsound & Bassline smith  Warning - Dub motion  Forex - Ivy lab  Body like wow - Document one  WTF - Smooth  Troglodyte VIP - Culture shock  I gota fever - Document one  Human mind - Tantrum desire  Run the block - Document one  “Run the Block” takes the tough but smoky sound that Document One has made their own and adds a layer of East Coast hip-hop flavour. The rap-along vocal, that trademark upright and synthetic bass fusion, the popping drums and live-instrument arrangement combine to give this tune jazzfunk energy in abundance. Then “Small Steps” flips the script, darkening things up in a way you might not be expecting from these guys. The intro is the sound of approaching menace, as military drums and an eerie dialogue sample ratched up the tension. Then the drop is all about those twisted tendrils of bass, snaking around techstep drums and ghost-in-the-machine stabs. This is what happens when musicality meets aggression on a hell-bent mission to mash up the rave. So, this release proves that Document One have a love and talent for all sides of this music. As their track titles declare, they “Run the Block” in the funk neighbourhood and they’re making “Small Steps” into the shadowy technoid realm. Now they’ve shown they can kill the dance in both, it’s clear the Document One operation doesn’t believe in boundaries.

Label Head Honchos take to the controls to sound up a tremendous year for Technique Recordings with this “Technique Annual 2015 Drum & Bass” LP Mini Mix………..

From the sweaty recesses of the grimiest jump-up raves to chart-topping, ad-soundtracking mainstream acceptance, 2015 has shown that this music has the full spectrum covered. And Technique Recordings, as always, has been up there at the forefront of the movement. This compilation, drawn from Technique’s releases over the year, is here to confirm that point. As you’d expect, the veteran artists are representing in force. The mighty Tantrum Desire is a consistent presence showing off multiple facets of their anthemic sound, with tracks like “Sea Breeze” and “Oblivion”, plus quirkier offerings like the stripped-back DJ weapon “Pump”. And of course, their huge collaborations with Matrix & Futurebound and Drumsound & Bassline Smith are here too. Talking of the label bosses, they haven’t held back on their contributions either, treating us to the euphoria of “I Need Somebody”, the filth of “Spring Heel Jack” and plenty more besides. All that before we even get into the floor-filling monsters provided by the likes of L Plus, Crissy Criss and MaxNRG. Alongside those battle-hardened Technique warriors are newer recruits to the team. Document One have made a huge impact this year and the soulful vibe and dancefloor energy of tracks like “Follow Me” and “Jazz Club” demonstrate why. Aussie representative Spectrem brings some melodic jungle sensibilities to the album with “Say Goodbye”, while Erb N Dub & Skope deliver something powerfuly individual with “Drummer”. Neuro-specialists Gradual and big-room filler Kronology each deliver a couple of heavyweight pieces to cement their status too. Then there are those artists whose names you might not instantly associate with Technique. Brian Brainstorm drops some full-on break-twisting jungle with “Pon Di Streets”, for example. Melinki and North Base take us back to the sunshine with “Summer Solstice” and “Bikini Dance”, and even the legends Digital and Decoder & Substance grace us with their presence. Like the drum and bass scene as a whole, this compilation has flavours in abundance. As a marker of the work Technique’s put in this year, bringing through new artists, showing off the best of established ones and delivering a rarely-paralleled variety of D&B styles, this delivers on all counts. The only thing left to the imagination is the question of how this can possibly be equalled in 2016. Better strap in for the ride. Enjoy!!!!!!!

L Plus tunes are a constant fixture in the sets of well-informed DJs. Combining a rare technical proficiency with a well-honed musical and storytelling sensibility, plus a ruthless desire to smash parties everywhere, this producer is at the top of his game.

This months Technique Podcast is mixed by new recruits GRADUAL. New Signing – Gradual Drum and bass has grown up a lot since its UK-centric formative days. You’ve probably noticed that, over the last few years, Technique Recordings has been instrumental in bringing a host of international talent to wider prominence in the scene. Names like L Plus, MaxNRG, Spectrem and Document One are now regular fixtures on the tracklists of top echelon DJs for raves and radio alike. So, fresh for 2015, here’s the latest addition to this fast-expanding global operation. Meet Gradual. If you’ve been paying attention to the tightly-knit Spanish D&B scene, then you’ll already know about the DJs and producers called Alerstorm and Ice Stereo. And you’ll know they’ve been steadily building their skills and profile for around seven years, dropping heavy releases on multiple imprints across Europe. If, however, you haven’t been paying attention then you may have formed your own misguided idea of what Spanish D&B is all about. Maybe some laid-back, sun-kissed Mediterranean vibes with a bit of classical guitar thrown in? Well, check your prejudices and think again. These two have been ripping things up with their own brand of dark, deep and complex tear-out neuro-influenced drum and bass. They’ve given us force-laden rhythmic motifs folded and reshaped into multiple forms with layers of effortlessly technical bass and devastatingly powerful riffs. They’ve given us tight and aggressive drums that punch right in the solar plexus. That’s the style that’s seen Alerstorm and Ice Stereo cement their status in the world of D&B. When, three years ago, they recognised their complementary perspectives and began collaborating, it was clear that this team-up had the potential for even bigger things. And those bigger things have arrived in the form of a signing to Technique Recordings. Gradual, as the duo are now known, are now trained and ready to flex their skills for a wider audience than ever before. Here are two producers who’ve paid their dues and are prepared for Technique to take them to the next level. It’s time for Spanish D&B to take its place on the big stage and show us all what it’s really made of.
