CALIBRE - Shelflife 2 (Signature) out next week ! 4x12" Vinyl + 2xCD

(picture above via rollocast)

"Dominick Martin aka Calibre, has been responsible for some of the seminal tracks in drum and bass history and continues to drop jaws worldwide with his sublime and sultry productions.

This compilation is a two CD journey through stone cold classics and hidden gems from the Calibre vaults, while taking in some new material along the way.

Drum & Bass, which draws on elements of dub, techno, jazz, soul, funk and more! The fact that his catalogue is strong enough to support a second retrospective release is testament to Calibre’s unique talent as a producer. Often imitated but never bettered." via S.T Holdings

Calibre - Electric Soul EP (Signature)

CALIBRE - Electric Soul EP - Signature (SIG013) 2x12" Vinyl
"Very limited promo label whites. The Belfast Boy, is back with a spate of material. Not only an LP, he's also managed to put together this nasty little EP as a follow-up. This boasts four bass-driven dancefloor cuts.

'Electric Soul' is a Detroit style roller with a hypnotic, techy drum loop and choice synth stabs). 'Roundhouse' is one for moody cowboy and funky as hell. 'Sokitume' is Andy’C’s favourite - think Calibre v Jonny L and watch that bass, while 'Hi Note' comes good with a proper old Full Cycle feel."

SOUL:R NEWS 2008

"Soul:r is hitting us with several quality releases... In January 2008 the long awaited E.P. by Lynx & Alix Perez will drop, together with another archive single this time by Icicle alongside Switch.

For the rest of 2008 we can look forward to more music from Marcus Intalex, Calibre, Alix Perez, the Lynx & Kemo LP, an ST Files solo project, a MC DRS project and the continuation of the archive series.

Calibre has been touring to promote his recently released album Shelflife. In true Calibre style he has mostly avoided the obvious places and opted to play in Greece, Moscow (first ever Russia gig), Australia, New Zealand and Japan instead, taking in the sights and inspirations for his next productions. While ‘Shelflife’ was a retrospective album, a new long played is due to follow in March next year and will feature brand new material." via future

OPENING DECEMBER 10th 2007 - The exclusive home for digital downloads from the following leading drum and bass labels: 31Records. Bassbin. Commercial Suicide. Exit. Revolve:r. Signature and Soul:r. "

WHAT A BUNCH OF...
"After much procrastination and several heated discussions a number of leading drum and bass labels have agreed to put their differences aside to form a collective. From Monday 10th of December 2007 you will be able to download, for the first time anywhere, the entire works of; 31 Records, Bassbin, Commercial Suicide, Exit, Signature and Soul:r /Revolver, at the aptly named collective noun for grumpy junglists www.abunchofcuts.com.

You will also in the very near future be able to find exclusive digital only content from all the labels involved. Never one to miss an opportunity to comment, Marcus Intalex had this to say on the venture, "We all have the same beliefs about keeping it as independent as possible.

We all still love vinyl and want to reassure people that we will still be supporting it but we felt it was time to try something of our own. The digital age allows us to take more control of our own labels" . Everyone else agreed for arguments sake.

SOULUTION RADIO - VOLUME 7 FEAT. CALIBRE

"Forward thinking, energetic, soulful and heavy on the groove – that’s how Marcus Intalex likes it. A drum n bass DJ with eighteen years of mileage on his clock, he cut his first track in 1994 and hasn’t looked back. Based just down the road from Manchester in sunny Burnley, he was bang in position to dive headfirst into the early nineties dance culture still chaining itself to the doors of the feted (but fated) Hacienda nightclub…" (RBMARADIO-HOSTS)
