Calyx vs BSE
Friday June 24th @ Earth Nightclub
Calyx [Moving Shadow/Metalheadz - UK]
No Turning Back Album Tour
If you haven't heard of Calyx in 05, then we invite you to crawl out from the rock you have been living under to check out one of the hottest properties in drum and bass right now!! Calyx formed in 96, when Larry Cons and fellow DnB fanatic Chris Rush joined forces. It wasnt long before the big labels started to take notice of Calyx's work, with releases on No U Turn, Moving Shadow, Audio Couture and 31 Records in 98.
At the turn of the millenium Chris decided to quit making music professionally but Larry decided to carry the flag forward and began to refine the Calyx sound. This new sound drew the attention of the likes of Bryan Gee and Grooverider who cut pretty much every new Calyx tune as soon as Larry gave it to them.
The next two years saw the Calyx sound pushed further afield, the highlight being the first of a number of releases on the legendary Metalheadz imprint. A stunning collaboration with the mighty Dom&Roland caused a storm on dancefloors worldwide, and was soon followed by the hugely successful 'Killa EP' on Moving Shadow.
Fast forward to the present and Calyx is at the top of the game, both as a producer and a DJ. Forthcoming releases include a 12 on the ultra-exclusive Metalheadz Platinum imprint, the debut 12 on Calyx & Kontrol's new label Thunderous Audio, remixes on Violence and Ill Skillz, some mouth-watering collaborations with the likes of Teebee and Gridlock, and most importantly of all, the debut album on Moving Shadow: No Turning Back. 'Are You Ready' and 'Tearing Us Apart' have been receiving heavy dubplate rotation from the DnB elite, and a lot of people are already tipping this as a contender for album of the year.
Black Sun Empire [BSE Rec., Obsessions, DSCI4 - Holland]
Cruel and Unusual Album Tour
Rene Verdult, Milan Heyboer and his younger brother Micha have produced electronic music together since early 1993 but after some experimenting they found their musical direction around 1997, which resulted in the formation of Black Sun Empire.
Although they had a few releases on a local record label they were still unknown to larger crowds. Things changed drastically when labels in England picked up some of their tracks. It was this little boost that made the biggest DJs around the world take notice of their production, and their tunes earned a place in the record bags of Friction, Ed Rush, Fierce, Dieselboy and Hive, to name just a few.
The release of their debut album Driving Insane on Black Sun Empire Recordings sold out within hours and the full album release was the fastest selling LP release ever for Nu Urban Music Distribution.
After the heaviness of their first album they decided not to neglect the lighter tunes, so BSE decided to start up a sister label, Obsessions, to focus on the funkier side of neuro. Kemal, SKC and Chris.Su have already supplied some beats for this project, with Matrix and D Bridge including these lighter beats in their recent sets.
Today, there is no stop in sight. A remix ep featuring Tech Itch, Optiv, Calyx & Kontrol will be served up as an appetiser for Black Sun Empire's second long player – Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Due out later this year, the new album has 5 brand new BSE tunes and some hot collaborations with Corrupt Souls, and Noisia + more.
Last year Micha tore apart Traffic but this time round its Milan's turn to show us how its done.
