Mefjus & Phace
Poisonous, tech-infected drum 'n' bass
Some of the rowdiest drum 'n' bass of the last five years has come courtesy of Austrian producer Mefjus (pictured).
Tilt Recordings, Mindtech and Disturbed were a few of the labels his earliest work was released on and in 2012 he hooked up with tech-infected d'n'b purveyors Critical Recordings for the first time. That was cutthroat Enei collaboration 'Crawlers' and he released his debut album, 'Emulation', on the Kasra-founded imprint last year.
This year's served collaborations with The Upbeats and Insideinfo, plus a joint release with Ivy Lab, with Phace onboard for the forthcoming 'Blitz' EP on Neosignal Recordings.
He lends a hand on 'Clock Off' and the two conjure up a knockout blow of tech-y d'n'b. There may be brief beatless intersections, but the majority's packed with iron-clad drums and a poisonous bassline that's synonymous with the pair's work.
The 'Blitz' EP is out on Neosignal Recordings on December 11
