#LockdownRecordings are a Bristol based label who’ve been grafting to build a roster which stands up against those imprints who were established in the earlier days. Promoting the deeper side of the dance music spectrum, they’ve always adhered to the same paradigm; that’s to offer only forward-thinking, technical and rolling vibes for the heads. #Lockdown’s next release comes from man of the moment #Myth, who is also known as one half of Ill Truth.
#Myth has been taking the D&B scene by storm this year, with a run of huge releases with #31Records, #CIA and #Subtitles. #Myth is now back on Lockdown with a new 4 track EP, also featuring a remix of #Kontrast & #Cybin’s liquid jungle roller ‘#LasticMystic’.
The EP opens with the title track ‘#Junkyard’, the vibe of this tune fits the name perfectly. Trademark dark atmospheres and fx build the intro before switching into punchy drum-breaks, sweeping synth stabs and pulsating bass. Next up is ‘#Raveheart’ as the name suggests, a massive dancefloor track that’s been getting smashed by Teebee on dub since last summer. Rave stabs, pitching reeces and a huge climatic build up, drop into tightly edited amen drums and murderous bass… a guaranteed pull up tune.
‘#Illusions’ featured on #Myths debut EP on #Lockdown and the VIP has been doing damage on dub for a while now. #Myth has switched up the bass for the VIP, slabs of fizzing sub bass and pounding 808s are reworked alongside the super-tight stepping drums from the original mix. Finally, #Myth’s remix of #Kontrast & #Cybin’s ‘#LastingMystic’ closes out the EP. Atmospheric textures, stretched vocal samples and the old-skool vibes of the original are reworked in #Myth’s signature style. Smooth musical vibes that will still go off in the dance.
With a much-anticipated release coming on North Quarter later this year, #Myth is on absolute fire at the minute and this new EP is definitely not to be missed … Keep it Locked!
