![]() Others have been popping all summer and are set for release very soon. Some have been out for a while but were in demand for months (and months) prior to release. It’s all of the above and one other main factor: there’s been loads of genuinely stand-out tracks coming through in recent times. Perhaps it’s because online groups and video clips have become so popular, there’s a much bigger audience to feed this thirst for information and circulate clips of new tunes? Or that some labels have some sharp minds on their marketing teams right now? Or because everything is available at a swipe or click, it’s human nature to want what we can’t have? So when early airings of big tunes do happen we really feel the benefit of a proper build up and natural sense of anticipation? ![]() Perhaps this is down to years of piracy and leaking worries that have caused labels to send out promos closer and closer to the release, denying them natural time to develop their own momentum. There’s never a time in the genre when exclusive, unreleased tunes aren’t one of the strongest characteristics and driving forces in the genre – it’s what drum & bass and jungle culture was built on – but these last few years have definitely seen a return of longer build ups and much more high profile hype for key releases. We’ve decided on the more robust and long lasting ‘vinyl dubplate’ instead of the traditional lacquer dubplate partly as a result of the devastating loss of Apollo / Transco in March (the only actual ‘acetate’ manufacturer in the world with real capacity is now gone: ) that’s created a global shortage of lacquer blanks - and - from a strong chorus of fans and music lovers who’ve made it clear to us they would prefer a plate they can play hundreds (if not thousands) of times instead of 20 or 30 times at best.Drum & bass: where it’s dubplate season every season.
