Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Ulterior Motive

slamming bassheavy stuff

ulterior motive are finally ready to release their long awaited collaboration with drs, ‘hey judas’. instantly recognisable and yelled for in seconds, this track has been doing serious damage wherever it’s been dropped in the last few months. drs lays down a sweet 16, and twinned with um’s razor sharp beats and bass, it’s a deadly combination. the aa side showcases a true master class in modular madness, as the guys team up with technical bristolian wizard dlr. growling itself all the way to the front, this sizeable slab of bass and percussion brings the funk and the vibe to the floor, bringing that 98 sound firmly up to date. we’re only at 002 in the guidance catalogue and the bar has been resolutely raised. watch out, there’s so much more to come.

label regulars ulterior motive present two finely cut pieces of drum and bass, both of which are full of the usual hypnotic funk and production prowess that the duo are now synonymous with. ‘step change’ is the monster of the two, with a twisted reese running throughout combined with heavy hitting, tightly tuned drums - a signature ulterior motive creation. it’s the funk that bursts to the forefront on ‘get close’, sitting over an eerie foundation and completing a stellar double pack for their first original tracks on metalheadz in almost 2 years.

since 2007, ulterior motive have been providing devastating future dance floor funk for the most discerning of drum and bass lovers. since releasing their debut album and a tranche of singles on seminal label metalheadz, 2017 now sees them finally launch their own imprint guidance. guidance: initially starting life in 2007 as an event, guidance has gone full circle and will now be the label and home for their music. it promises to be a name that stands for the aesthetic the duo have become infamous for, beautifully and intricately crafted music and sound that can shake any venue to it’s very foundations. guidance 001 showcases four powerful yet also varied tracks from the pair. they join forces with one of the best to ever host, sp:mc, on ‘the wobbler’, and also team up with production wizard icicle on ‘anode’. two more solo tracks from the pair in the form of ‘clap ya’ and ‘kamakura’ wrap up an exquisite first release that highlights the pair’s formidable intentions for the future. support from: dbridge, skeptical, xtrah, dlr, ant tc1, jubei, friction, icicle & rockwell.

you re next: growling reece and jumping drums. ulterior motive show no sign of let up after the debut album the fourth wall. menacing and dancefloor tested *you re next* was made specially for the floor.
music city: super funk. blaxploitation. ulterior motive resurrect a style not heard for a while with this one. sounding live and full of energy music city is the slick older cousin of 2014 album cut sideways and will no doubt be just as popular.

for the second installment of their mixtape series, hospital records has turned to devonian duo fred v and grafix, who epitomize the label s festival-friendly outlook. they don t disappoint, either, dropping an action-packed mix that shoehorns 32 tracks into an hour of non-stop dancing fun. after kicking off with the guitar laden hip-hop wooziness of cyantific s high water mark and dimension s tear-out beast whiplash, they variously touch on liquid, hospital style disco drum and bass, and harder flavours. happily, they find room to include eight exclusives from a variety of producers, including a previously unheard vip re-work of their own summer smash major happy
