GUESTLIST RECOMMENDS: IT'S GETTING DUTTY IN TORONTO! 44 ISSUE 102 / 2017 Metalheadz takeover of XOYO will be special. There's a new label on Toronto's blocks, Dutty Bass Audio. Headed by Matt Marley from just outside Toronto, the label has a focus for dance floor tunes. Though Matt has a soft spot for rolling drum & bass and jungle he admits there's "no boundaries for what I want to put out, as long as it vibes." Setting up just at the right time, Toronto's drum & bass scene is getting stronger by the day. Matt explains, "there has been a big resurgence in the last year or so. Wednesday to Sunday there is always something going on. Every weekend there is some UK headliner playing. Multiple parties on the same night which never use to happen." Toronto's clubbers are looking for their drum & bass fix, and though events in the city from crew like Last Planet are filling up - it needs a platform to showcase the rising talents from the area. In terms of drum & bass, few labels are as legendary as Metalheadz. It's a label that's almost as old as the genre itself, has been a constant name on the scene which kept releasing iconic, progressive and credibly underground drum & bass though the hard times and the good. The label will be taking over XOYO on Friday 6th October, in another one of their takeover specials. The label's events always go down a treat with London clubber, bringing with them a diverse crowd who are there for one thing - a sick time. Taking over both spaces in the club, room 1 will bring the cutting edge sounds of Metalheadz whilst room 2 will be the label's biggest history session to date. ALBUM OF THE MONTH: VIVA BRAZIL: SUN & BASS SESSIONS Patife pays homage to the event that got him back in the game. DJ Patife is a Brazilian drum & bass icon, who along with DJ Marky, gave drum & bass a fresh vibe back in the late 90s. After a trip to London and meeting Bryan Gee, Patife and Marky rapidly became two of the most in demand DJs on the circuit with their smooth, care free take on the genre. Patife then took some time to himself around 2009 and distanced himself from the scene. It was a chance trip to Sun & Bass in Sardinia, Italy that made Patife rethink his decision and rekindled his love for the music. Patife explained 'I was trying to find a way for all of them, or at least a few of them to come to Sun & Bass, and to see and feel what I was feeling.' He continued; 'as a drum & bass lover, it was hard to believe that for a whole week an event took place in a paradise ... An event full of people who love this music from all around world, all alongside those legends who've been in this scene since the beginning.' In an ode to the event, Patife has compiled the huge Viva Brazil: Sun & Bass Sessions for V Recordings with a vast and varied selection of new and exclusive music from the sun kissed beaches of Brazil. The 18 tracked album features hot material from L-Side, Alibi, Command Strange and loads more.
