Olle Boerg, Sebastian Falk - Just a Dream (Extended Mix)

19 September 2024

Olle Boerg feat. Sebastian Falk - Just a Dream (Extended Mix) [Sirup Music - SIR1762X]

Stockholm, Sweden based producer OLLE BOERG teams up with fellow landsman singer/songwriter SEBASTIAN FALK for their heavenly collaboration JUST A DREAM.

Olle Boerg's hypnotically monotonous yet unpredictable melodic house beats meet Sebastian Falk's unpolished folk indie vocals, beautiful melodies and simple but deep lyrics. "Just a Dream" is all about sharing a brief moment of bliss and beauty that soon will have slipped away.

Influenced by the rhythm of constant motion between poles, Olle sees music as a multidimensional organized vibration, much like life itself. His two main aims are to add beauty in the world by harmonizing frequencies and to massage the listener's brain with hypnotizing percussion and rolling basslines. He aspires to create a balance between shamanic repetition and interesting unpredictability.

Look out for the remix edition to follow...

Zombie Cats Revamp ‘Lonely Now’ on Addictive Behaviour’s ‘Relicked Part 2’

18 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds

Back with a fresh twist on some classic tunes, Addictive Behaviour returns with the second instalment of their ‘Relicked’ series, featuring two of the label’s finest tracks: Zombie Cats’ rework of Felix Raymon and Jamal Dilmen’s ‘Lonely Now’ and Eastcolors’ remix of Qua Rush’s ‘Over Me’. Both tracks have been remixed and re-energized by these amazing artists, bringing a fresh take on these classics.

To kick things off, German/Australian duo Zombie Cats make their debut with Addictive Behaviour, delivering an upbeat and dynamic rework of ‘Lonely Now’. Known for their precise production and high-energy style, Zombie Cats drop a liquid roller that hits just in time for the close of festival season—perfect for those late-summer vibes. Check out our premiere of the original below:

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/811143961" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

Zombie Cats are all about creative freedom, effortlessly shifting from deep soundscapes to cutting-edge club tracks. With respected releases on labels like Eatbrain, Liquicity, and Dispatch, and after breaking onto the scene in 2015, they’ve been touring the world with their precision-crafted, energetic live sets. For Zombie Cats, Drum & Bass and Jungle aren’t just music genres—they’re a way of life. Whether it’s advocating for dnb step or mentoring up-and-coming artists, Zombie Cats are all about keeping an open mind and a positive approach to all aspects of the Drum & Bass and Jungle culture.

On the flip side, longtime Addictive mainstay Eastcolors steps up with a stunning remix of ‘Over Me’. With ethereal pads, arpeggiated stabs, and crisp, rattling drums, Eastcolors brings an atmospheric and gritty take on the original, adding a fresh layer of soul and depth to a label favourite.

As a key figure in the Russian Drum & Bass scene, Eastcolors has been delivering high-quality productions since his breakout release on Critical Music. Known for his deep, rolling sound and skillful blending of genres, his tracks have found homes on respected labels such as Demand Records, Symmetry, and, of course, Addictive Behaviour. His consistent, evolving sound has earned him a loyal following, and his ability to craft both dancefloor bangers and more introspective, melodic tracks showcases his versatility as an artist.

Today we premiere Zombie Cats’ remix of Felix Raymon and Jamal Dilmen’s ‘Lonely Now’, which you can check out below. ‘Relicked – Part 2’ drops exclusively on Beatport this Friday 20th September and will be available everywhere else on Friday 4th October. Make sure you grab a copy from here!

Konquest, Volatile Cycle & Dropset Unveil Their Heartfelt Follow-Up Single ‘Alone

18 September 2024 - Shelley Dodds

After making a big splash on Evolution Chamber with the high-energy, vocal-led dance-floor banger ‘Close Your Eyes’, the transatlantic trio Volatile Cycle, Dropset, and Konquest have teamed up once again to deliver their highly anticipated follow-up single, ‘Alone’.

‘Alone’ sees Konquest step up with his signature vocal finesse, weaving an intimate, emotional narrative about feeling cut off from the people who were once close. The track explores the heavy realization that these individuals weren’t true friends after all, but more like situational companions—people tied to a moment, not meant to last. The lyrics strike a chord, touching on themes of loneliness, loss, and the uncomfortable but necessary confrontation with emptiness, which is something so many of us have experienced at one point or another. It’s not just a song; it’s a raw, personal reflection on the complex nature of human relationships.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He1qI6wViiA?feature=oembed&w=1140&h=641]

Musically, ‘Alone’ packs a serious punch. The drop explodes with Evolution Chamber’s signature sound—those tight, call-and-response basslines combined with relentless drum patterns that keep the intensity dialled up. The grinding bass rhythms blend with melodic elements in a way that’s both heavy and musical, making for a dynamic listening experience. The track balances emotional depth with powerful production, showing off the trio’s ability to deliver both storytelling and dance-floor energy in one shot.

As we wave goodbye to summer and brace ourselves for the colder months, Evolution Chamber has its sights set on celebrating five years of cutting-edge releases. The label has big plans for the remainder of 2024, with some familiar names returning to the roster and new talent on the horizon. As they continue to push boundaries and build momentum, Evolution Chamber is well-positioned to keep dominating the Drum & Bass scene with fresh, innovative sounds.

Check out our premiere of ‘Alone’ below. The single drops this Friday 20th September. Make sure you grab a copy for your record collection here!

Ray Keith reimagines 30 years of drum & bass with live band at XOYO Birmingham

18 September 2024 - Data Transmission Staff

Prepare for an unforgettable night of Drum & Bass as genre godfather, Ray Keith, takes centre stage at XOYO Birmingham on Friday 29th November 2024 with ‘The Renegade’.

This is not just an immersive show; it’s a celebration of over 30 years of groundbreaking rave anthems, reimagined by a full live band with special performances from Jungle icons, Ragga Twins and MC Juiceman.

[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/186809758" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /] Data Transmission · Basheba – Hold On – (Ray Keith Remix)

After their sold out shows at one of London’s most iconic venues Jazz Cafe, and Shangri-La Glastonbury’s venue Lost Horizon, Ray Keith and his band ‘The Renegade’ now prepare for their XOYO Birmingham debut.

As they work their way through an extensive catalogue of old-school classics including the likes of ‘The Chopper’, ‘Terrorist’ and many more, the night promises an unmissable hybrid experience, combining live musicians, DJ and MCs, to mark a three-decade-long legacy.

Ray Keith said, “This live project captures the spirit of Jungle and D&B for me. You’ll hear the classics of the Ray Keith catalogue past and present but we’ll also be throwing in some nods to the foundations of dance music; Rare Groove, Acid House, Reggae, and Soul MUSIC”.

Known for his revolutionary remix of Orbital’s iconic record, ‘Chime,’ and his influential label, Dread Recordings, Ray Keith is arguably one of the most seminal foundations of Drum & Bass and Jungle. With roots in the UK rave scene of the early 1990s, Ray quickly established himself as a master of the decks, blending soulful rhythms with hard-hitting basslines.

His breakthrough came with the iconic ‘Terrorist,’ which became a definitive Jungle cut.

Over the years, Ray has continued to innovate, nurturing countless artists and tracks that push the boundaries of Drum & Bass. Known for his evocative and passionate sets, Ray Keith remains a beloved and inspirational figure, connecting deeply with fans and aspiring artists through his dynamic performances and rich musical legacy.

‘The Renegade’ featuring Ray Keith is just the tip of the November iceberg at XOYO Birmingham in a month that sees live performances from Newton Faulkner, Alfie Templeman, Noahfinnce, Kofi Stone and Bonny Light Horseman, while its club programme is flooded with top-tier talent, including Fish56Octagon, 4am Kru, Mozey, Cafe Mambo Ibiza, Cirque Du Soul and more.

Since its launch in September 2023, XOYO Birmingham has quickly become a standout destination for unforgettable clubbing experiences driven by the best in electronic dance music.

Building on the prestigious legacy of its London counterpart, XOYO Birmingham has carved out its niche within the city’s lively nightlife. With five unique spaces and the ability to accommodate nearly 3,000 guests, XOYO Birmingham delivers an unmatched experience created by and for the people of Birmingham.
