Here’s an awesome review from Stuart Hayes over at the Strictly Nu Skool Blog of my new “Into Focus” EP available now from Viral-Mental Records, much thanks, respect, and big up.

 

1/ Into Focus
2/ It’s Proper.
3/ Hit That.

Viral-Mental Records welcomes back Dredillah to the fold as he unleashes a trio of upfront, floor-filling drum & bass bombs with the release of the ‘Into Focus’ EP.

‘Into Focus’ sets the ball rolling with it’s heady blend of crisp, two-step breaks paired with pensive, ascending pads and repeated namesake vocal refrains underpinned by a devastating, droning bassline that’ll rattle your ribcage for definite.

Up next, ‘It’s Proper’ adds a sci-fi twist to the pot with it’s use of atonal blips and squelches and warped bass notes, paired with a relentless stepping breakbeat, layered intermittently spine-tingling with amen rolls.

Rounding off the collection we are immediately introduced to the deep and dark atmospherics of ‘Hit That’, a dark and brooding neurofunk roller, sounding reminiscent of Valve Records in it’s early noughties heyday.

For his latest collection, Dredillah puts back the “funk” to the neuro D&D formulae, whilst ensuring that the bassline remains King. This one’s strictly for the dancefloor fiends!!!

Dredillah’s ‘Into Focus’ EP is available to purchase from all good Viral-Mental Records digital stockists and streaming sites now!!!

Revaux and Melinki Totem EP (review)
Dredillah
09/03/2018

I absolutely love discovering new music, particularly drum and bass, and especially from independent artists as well as smaller labels, I’m not too concerned if it’s the latest and greatest or if it came out yesterday as long as I’m feeling the release. Last week I happened across a twitter post from @arrecords_uk that let to me scrolling their feed, and there was a post mentioning that their vinyl release of the “Totem EP” had arrived, so I checked out their website….yes…I actually surf sites…shocking I know.

After listening to the samples from the AR Records site embedded media player I knew the release was right up my alley, and I purchased the digital release as a labor day gift to myself. First off, for the record, with this EP,  Revaux and Melinki have crafted four tracks of quality top notch production Drum and Bass, …respect guys.

The Totem EP brings a good representation of my favorite sub genres of drum and bass, both the title track “Totem” and “Swordplay” have a nice techy vibe with elements of neuro. “Overpass” starts out with a silky smooth liquid vibe, but eases in elements of tech, neuro and Mc Ozone spits some lyrics on the techy “Unorthodox” which also feels reminiscent of a metalheadz approved track, and that’s very much intended as a compliment. Big up. Check out Revaux and Melinki, you wont regret it, useful links below:

Dredillah
06/27/2018

The Viral-Mental Records collective set out to provide you with THE drum & bass soundtrack to Summer with the forthcoming VMR SUMMER VIBES VOL 1 album. Featuring thirteen exclusive tracks spanning the entire spectrum of deep liquid beats and upfront D&B.

HEKTIC leads the charge with his frantic yet soulful ‘Ever Changing’ which is soon succeeded by CYANIDE’s deep and luscious ‘Patterns’.

If it’s smooth jazz tinged, vocal junglism your after then Jaguar Paw , employing the vocal talents of Lady D-Zire delivers the goods, closely followed by DROMAs mellow guitar laced stepper, ‘At Peace’.

SkorpZ steps up next with his sweeping epic, intelligent drum & bass track ‘Salvation’ before we are introduced to the hard hitting liquid sounds of Dredillah’s ‘The Paradox’.

MISS GUIDED accompanied by partner in crime UZI, bring the feelgood vibes with the R&B styled ‘Need Your’ before we are hit with the warm Reese bass notes of HEKTIC’s funk flavoured ‘All Day’,

The soothing late night sounds of CYANIDE’s sublime ‘Why Don’t You’ drops next, before we see the return of Jaguar Paw who brings a MC accompaniment from PINK ICE, with the positive vibed ‘Dust’.

Up next we are pummelled by the bouncing bassline of UZI’s amen driven ‘Apples & Pears’, alongside DROMA’s dubby slice of dancefloor focussed jungle. ‘The Past’. The album is then brought to a perfect close by Dredillah, who presents to us the deep bass workout of ‘Eazy’.

If you want to spread some SUMMER VIBES, then look no further than this collection!!!!
