Tik&Borrow return to the imprint they founded, an imprint which is largely responsible for the renaissance in the Yorkshire bassline sound over the past few years; In:flux Audio with their first full length album, 'Neurality'. After the success of their 'Vision EP' back in February, the duo have been busy in the studio cooking up 8 tracks of Neuro-inspired Bass and Grime bangers that pack a punch on the dancefloor. To celebrate the release of the album we caught up with the duo who brought a long a couple of bad boy tracks for you to download for free. They have also recorded an exclusive 30 minute studio mix that is packing more energy than 6 cans of Monster with Red Bull chasers.

Check it out! Tik&Borrow Interview Interview courtesy of Selecta UK visit: Tik&Borrow have had a very busy 2017, both on personal levels and as co-founders of label In:flux Audio. Most notably, they’ve released a steady stream of their own music, as well as keeping up with In:flux’s demanding release schedule and celebrating the label’s 4th Birthday.

Somehow in amongst all of this, they’ve still found time to sit down and work on their debut LP, ‘Neurality’ – an 8 track release with influences spanning Drum and Bass, Dubstep, UKG and beyond. We caught up with Tik to talk about the album process, collaborations and what to expect next from both themselves as artists and the label.

You guys have been releasing music for a long time, as well as working hard behind the scenes on your label, In:Flux audio. How long has this album been in the works for? We finished the first couple of tunes for the album in January of this year and we finished the last tune in September, so all in all it has taken 9 months to piece this all together. We’ve had a few other releases along the way this year as well on amazing labels such as Southpoint and Project AllOut Records, which has been really great for us and helped us to expand our horizons a little bit.

Did you sit down and decide to do a full length release or was it more something that ‘just happened’? We finished the ‘Vision’ EP that went out in February towards the end of 2016, so as there was 9 months until the deadline for our next release on In:flux, we decided we really wanted to give making an album a try. We had a few tracks in the bank, so it really seemed like a logical move forward, especially with the fact our last few EPs on the label had all been really well received.

There’s obviously a huge amount of variety in the sounds on ‘Neurality’ – where did the inspiration come from? Our sound has always encompassed a lot of different influences, but more so on this release than ever before. The biggest new influence to our sound for the album has been Grime and Dubstep, which was a welcome addition to our composition as the drum structure in those genres really went well with our Neuro-inspired synth design. Our sound has really come full circle now with the Neuro sound from Borrow’s DnB days now combining with my love of Dubstep. It was obviously meant to be!

What was the most challenging part of the album making process? I think the longevity of the process was the most challenging part. Making sure tracks you wrote at the start in January stayed as strong as the most recent tracks written in August is always tricky, and it meant some tracks fell by the wayside along the way.

It’s also important to make sure the sound across the album is consistent and tells a story, but we feel in the end we’ve put the best representation of ourselves out there in the 8 tracks. There’s a big collaboration with Tengu featured, was it a conscious decision to not have more collaborations on the release? We had more collabs lined up but they didn’t quite materialise in time for the album. We are however absolutely chuffed with the one we did piece together for it! The collab we had planned with Pelikann is on it’s way and will now be appearing on his ‘Presents’ compilation in March and we’ve just lined up another load of collaborations with Sample Junkie, Hamdi, Pharaoh K, Ali McK & IYZ and Aerontonin. Will keep us busy for sure!

What’s your favourite track on ‘Neurality’? I think both of us have different tracks for different reasons. The opening four tracks on the album are all solid for different reasons, but for me it has to be ‘Intake’ and Borrow it’d be ‘Wastelands’. The best part about doing the promo for this release is that everyone has come back with a different track that is their favourite.

After experiencing making an album, is it something you’d do again in the future? It’s something we will do in the future yeah! It is a process that really helps you to develop massively as an artist and when finished is an amazing representation of yourself, something you can look upon with a good bit of pride because of the effort that goes into it.

What were your favourite studio snacks throughout the process? For Borrow it was beer and cigarettes and for me it’s all about squash and crisps. We definitely lead very different lifestyles! Which track took the most amount of time to wrap up and why?

The longest tracks were ‘Intake’ and ‘Wastelands’ for the very simple reason that these were tracks from 2/3 years ago that were originally Garage tracks we weren’t too happy with, but when we started on the Grime/Dubstep flex we had another punt at them and they’ve turned into absolute beasts. What have you got lined up following the release of the album? We’re going to take the next year to be a little more free with our production and try to write tracks one at a time rather than for a full release. We’ve got a nice little ditty called ‘Fision’ coming out on Southpoint: Introducing in January, and hope to be working more with those guys next year. We then have our beast of a collab with man like Pelikann coming out in March, and of course all our other aforementioned collabs we plan on starting in December. We also have a couple of compilation releases on In:flux lined up, a free Dubstep compilation that will be going out in the New Year and Get Fluxed Vol.

IV that will be going out in June. Other than that, we’re interested in putting a few more freebies out next year so we’ll see how that works out in amongst all of this madness! It's that time again, as the infamous PAR imprint returns for their yearly Christmas compilation, showcasing their extensively versatile roster and variety of musical styles. This year is a collection of returns and debuts, as we see Killjoy, Deadbeat, Dr Cryptic, KXVU, Moony, Jakebob amongst others all make solid return appearances. Some of our favorites include the haunting sounds of Dallen's grimey roller 'Time', the catchy 4x4 riffs and rhythms of Kind Hydra's 'Bass Trap' and skippy arrangement and aggressive synth design on 'Trigga' from the elusive Rotti. There aren't many labels that can boast such an extensive yet versatile roster and yet remain so assured in as many different areas of UK bass music.

As one of bassline's leading lights, Wittyboy has had a great of 2017, bringing forward a bag of great new releases as well as supporting a large selection of up and comers. For this new one we see him team up with the ever ready Dread MC for a bass belter entitled 'Mums Yard' on the Crucast imprint.

This is exactly what the UK's bass fans are hunting for at the minute, with weighty lead synths running wild over well processed drum arrangements and sliced vocals from Dread. This is a solid way for the Crucast team to finish up the year. Punks have been on a roll as of late, with a flurry of fantastic singles coming to our attention.

The latest in this impressive run comes courtesy of Tru Fonix entitled 'In The Corner'. With this new single we hear the duo take a very interesting approach to a dancehall and UK bass fusion project, focussing on rolling subs and snare riffs and featuring electric vocals from Stush. On remix duty, the ever dependable Sly-One step forward with their carnival inspired kuduro rework which takes the composition somewhere completely new. As 2017 has progressed, AC Slater's own Night Bass imprint have solidified themselves as a leading force in the world of underground bass music. This time around they call upon the services of Sydney's own 'Wax Motif' for a fantastic 2 tracker. The title track and A Side is a dancefloor driven monster, with electrifying bass synths and punchy drums cascading across the mix perfectly. The B Side 'Mental' which comes in collaboration with RICCI is more of a techy roller, focussing on catchy percussive rhythms and subtle sub patterns.

This is a great way to round off the year for the LA based label who have consistently moved up from strength to strength throughout the year. As time moves forward and the world of bass music expands, it becomes more and more realistic to assume that there is no ground Daze Prism could not traverse.

He teams up with forward thinking bass imprint Four40 here for a full three track project and what a project it has turned out to be. The title track 'Shipwreck' is straight breakbeat masterpiece, encapsulating the creative heart of the genre with pulsating reese bass leads and pleasing percussive melodies. From here we move into the bass / UK funky hybrid creation labelled as 'Rumba, which combines sharp techy bass tones and kuduro-esc drum patterns to great effect.

Finally we come to 'Anoxia' which is another bass / funky hybrid, this time however focusing more on syncopated percussive patterns and rhythms. Download Free Spiderman Friend Or Foe Iso Pc Connector. This one is a great way to round off the year for the Four40 imprint. For us, Daze Prism is without a doubt one of the stand out artists for the entirety of 2017. His unique level of versatility has allowed him to traverse between breaks, UKG, funky and bassline with utter ease, leaving a string of incredible releases in his wake.

This time he teams up with the infamous Hot Cakes banner for a super creative three tracker entitled 'Curved'. The title track for this one is very label appropriate, taking a darkened bass themed arrangement with techy vocal stabs. We then move into straight breaksy bass hybrid 'Can't Be That' which combines the two genres in perfect harmony before the EP finishes with the unpredictable future garage chops of 'Sordidum'. Yet another fantastic release for Prism. After the success of his debut release 'Ravin Face' It was only a matter of time before Tyrone joined up with Southampton's own 'YosH' for a follow up release.

That he does wit this new EP in collaboration with Kier. This release features two original creations, the first of which is a straight bassline roller entitled 'Tell Em Again'. The second track is a more crack house inspired instrumental, again featuring vibrant dancefloor inspired vocals from both Tyrone and Kier.

It's no secret that there is a distinct lack of MC's in a bassline scene crowded with thousands of keen new producers, so this is certainly a positive step as a release.
