NO NATION 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Avid followers of contemporary drum & bass might have clocked No Nation popping up on the likes of Future Retro or teaming up with Sheba Q for a single on Diffrent Music. Now the shadowy producer has manifested on Banoffee Pies' White Label series with further switched-on excursions into inventive breakbeat chops and mysterious atmospheres. From the smoky drumfunk of 'Deation' to the melancholy, flute-licked haze of 'Gad Damn', this is a sterling exercise in inventive d&b from an artist pushing modern iterations of the sound into intriguing new pastures while holding true to the tenets of the genre.

Review: Grab them while you can! Myor Massiv have pressed a few limited copies of these two ace remixes of bossman Coco Bryce. So good they've been credited to the remixers themselves, the unstoppable boundary-burner No Nation flips 'Lovin U' into a house-influence slab of timeless euphoria while Artificial Red puts the turbo rushes on the equally dreamy Ma Bae Be Luv. Perfect time for Valentines (or any day you're feeling all warm and cuddly inside) both these versions are essentially modern day soul.
