SIGNATURE

New Calibre album "Rudy". The album features all of the previously unreleased tracks from Calibre’s Boiler Room Set: "Stunted", "Dumb Bum", "The Game", "Cousin", "No Stopping" & "Treason".

Calibre, with the help of Radio 1 and Fabio, invented liquid drum and bass in the late 90s early 00s. The term was originally coined by Fabio during his Radio 1 residency to describe the music Calibre was producing at the time. Fabio described it as 'liquid gold', and so the term 'liquid' stuck.

Fast forward to now and (real name) Dominick Martin has pretty much done it all in underground electronic music: toured the world, developed his own label, operated under varies different aliases and guises (and styles!) and, closer to home, ran the Soul: R imprint with sadly departed MCR legend Marcus Intelex (another pioneer of the liquid style).

Released on his own label Signature, "Rudy" finds the Northern Irish producer expanding sounds he's made his own. Sleek beats, sub rattling bass, delicate poise, musical licks and deep atmospheres. There's an intelligence and musicality at work here that puts him miles ahead of any jump-up or nu-jungle pretenders.

A fully engrossing listen which suck you straight into its world, the expansive triple pack (pressed at maximum fidelity) sees straight up DnB rollers, liquid DnB and neurofunk flavours all explored with Calibre’s deft of hand and bass precision. It's another grandiose statement from the DnB master and shows that he's still got control of the bass bins in 2024. Recommended! 


STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Liquid drum and bass pioneer returns with another highly anticipated triple pack on his Signature label. Full fat, highly musical offerings with plenty of bass detail; there's few impart such class and sophistication into the genre as Calibre.
