FRENZi FEAT. LENZMAN 8/8/2015

Tha Purrin Lion is proud to present….

LENZMAN
(Metalheadz | Amsterdam, NL)

Still walking his own path as always and never dragged into following trends, Lenzman continues to highlight his strengths and interests: a strong ear for a sample and a musicality often unrivalled in Drum and Bass.

His continuing work with vocalists and fellow musicians shows his love of grooves, ideas and hooks, an approach that sees his music in huge demand from fans, peers and both major and underground labels alike.

This year saw the release of his hugely anticipated debut album ‘Looking At The Stars’ on Metalheadz, the pinnacle of Drum and Bass record labels. An ambitious project with music reaching to many of the genre’s different reference points. The tracks showcase his influences from Hip Hop, Soul and beyond, competently working with a range of different vocalists and styles, palettes and tempos.

Fresh from this long stint in the studio finishing the album, Lenzman now readies himself for his second home, taking to the road once again to showcase his inimitable trademark sound to festivals and clubs from Australia to Asia, Europe to North America and beyond.

An artist who is never afraid to wear his musical heart on this sleeve, Lenzman continues to push his own unique brand of Drum and Bass: Soulful, deep, melancholic yet fun, an essential ingredient for any good party!

ESTEFEX
Tha Purrin Lion | Turn It Up

In spring of 2004, Hippo & Estefex started “Turn It Up Thursdays” at the infamous venue “Clarks”. With help of others in the Houston Dance seen, like Brad Slack, Champa Moore and BMC to name a few, Hippo & Estefex had a successful weekly. This weekly in Houston was responsible for bringing many top acts from overseas. You could find Hippo & Estefex and friends playing next to the likes of Basic Operations, Commix, Klute, Makoto & Deeizm, Aphrodite, J Magik, DJ Lee, Marcus Intalex, Stress Level & TC1, Atlantic Connection, Nookie, LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad and Danny Byrd to name a few.

In January 2008 Estefex moved away from Houston to Phoenix. Since his initial departure from Houston Estefex quickly became involved in the Phoenix Drum and Bass scene. Here is where he meet Dlo and Craft through various nights which led to many collaborative efforts in bringing out and having guests like TC1, Random Movement, A-Sides and Original Sin. He became a resident at one of Arizona’s premier Dub Step & Drum and Bass night know as UK Thursdays. Where he played his sound of deep, soulful, jazzy and liquid Drum and Bass along with friends at this groundbreaking night, week in and week out. Being supportive and being involved in Drum and Bass music and community is something that you will always find Estefex doing.

Since moving back to Houston he has become a big part of the FRENZI nights relying on his connections throughout the international D&B community helping source some of the great talent through the last couple years, as well as upping production value with his Martin Audio sound system.

Help us salute his integral role to the Houston D&B movement as we celebrate his birthday.

FRENZI featuring Doc Scott 8.9.2014

July 25th, 2014 | By Steve

DOC SCOTT

31 Records, Metalheadz | UK

The recipient of the first release on the influential Metalheadz Recordings — which he co-founded withGoldie — and an early inspiration on the jungle star, Doc Scott began producing records in the early days of the ’90s, when jungle was in its tender infancy. The ever-joyous strains of rave and hardcore were gradually giving way to darker sounds, more influenced by hip-hop, and few producers did more to birth the dark mid-’90s sound of jungle than Scott. A resident of Coventry, he was early inspired by the heady moods of the Blade Runner soundtrack as well as Detroit figures such as Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, and after receiving a pair of turntables at the age of 18, he began DJing. Scott played live dates at raves during 1989-90, and soon after gave up his job as a telephone worker to enter music full-time.

His early recordings for Absolute 2 like NHS, NHS, Vol. 2 and Surgery made him one of the top names in the emerging hardcore scene, and Scott soon became part of the Reinforced Recordings crew, which included Dego and Mark Mac of 4 Hero, and later, Goldie. Scott’s 1992 EP for Reinforced, Nasty Habits‘ As Nasty as I Wanna Be, set the template for darkside drum’n’bass with the classic “Here Come the Drumz.” He and Goldie recorded several tracks together while at Reinforced, then formed Metalheadz in 1994. The Doc Scott single “VIP Drums” proved to be the label’s first release, starting out Metalheadz with style and foreshadowing additional releases such as “Far Away” and an update of “Here Come the Drumz” titled “Drumz 95.” Scott recorded as well for LTJ Bukem‘s Good Looking Records, and set up his own label in 1996. That same year, he released a volume in the Mixmag Live! series of DJ albums.

FRENZI featuring NU:LOGIC 8.10.2013

August 1st, 2013 | By Steve

NuLogic

Saturday August 10, 2013
NU:LOGIC
a.k.a. Nu:Tone & Logistics
(Hospital | UK)
Nu:Logic is a collaborative partnership between Hospital signings Nu:Tone and Logistics. The two brothers, Dan and Matt Gresham, first joined forces under this new alias in the mid noughties, with the first Nu:Logic release “On & On” appearing on Hospital in 2004. The project went on the back burner until 2010 when they released their “New Technique” EP to great critical acclaim. The pair combine the music that they love – music with soul, atmosphere, tension and groove – together into one melting pot of sound. Whilst growing up they were exposed to the same music, but quickly found their tastes diverging. However now they are older, these have moved closer together again and at the core is a shared love of artists and labels such as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Calibre, Jazzanova, MoWax, Full Cycle, Metalheadz and No U Turn.

FRENZI featuring ANT TC1 5.11.2013

April 25th, 2013 | By AngFox

TC1
(Metalheadz | Dispatch, UK)
Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 15 (since 1993). His first release along side frequent studio partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be in the studio before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder. After their first release aired they quickly picked up a wealth of dj support on their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo beats and Samurai Music. By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky.

Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix cd’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G. Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the BBC radio 1 shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio & Bailey on their respective slots over the years. His DJ work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Budapest, Tel-Aviv to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK wide.

Fast forward to 2013 and Ant is now solely responsible for the running & label manager role of Dispatch Recordings; having released a mix CD compilation, the hugely successful “Transit One” album in 2011 (which topped almost all the usual stores weekly dance music sales charts across all formats) as well as a fine list of consistently quality single and EP releases from the likes of Survival, Break, Octane & DLR , Marcus Intalex, Commix, AI, Chris SU, Zero T, Cern, Dabs, Skeptical, Dub Phizix, Spinline, himself (and many more). Ant has recently remixed material for the likes of Lomax (Loadstar), Sunchase, Cern & Dabs as well as having his own solo work remixed by rising star Xtrah and working on further collabs with the likes of Survival and DLR. Ant also continues to run his own monthly night at ‘Momentum’ in Leeds (which is headed into it’s 10th year) as well as managing the renowned Metalheadz label & it’s events worldwide (for none other than the D&B legend that is Goldie) and still continuing to dj across the globe on an ever-frequent basis.

Frenzi 2 Year Anniversary Feat. CALIBRE

June 25th, 2012 | By AngFox

 

Dominick Martin aka Calibre has been responsible for some of the most beautiful tracks in drum & bass to date and continues to drop jaws worldwide with his sublime and sultry productions. Calibre’s sound has progressed taking in elements of jazz, funk, dub and techno but lost none of it’s soul. His influence in drum & bass has been profound yet Calibre continues to evolve as an artist, exploring new techniques and styles in his music. His sets focus primarily on the deeper, more musical side of drum & bass yet never disappoint the dancefloor. Artists and DJ’s from all corners of the electronic music spectrum constantly remark on Calibre DJ sets restoring their faith in Drum & Bass as a vital musical force.

Often imitated but never bettered, Calibre’s sound remains his own after ten years of producing and releasing drum & bass. A creative force and inspiration to others, he refuses to be pinned down to making music in a single style. His single for the Deep Medi label, run by Digital Mystikz don Mala, received a warm reception in the dubstep scene and has demonstrated once again his diversity as a producer.

Consistently the standout on worldwide lineups, every Calibre set is a unique and much valued experience for all those lucky enough to encounter this visionary in a DJ setting.
