Afghan Headspin's take on 2008!

What a year for us, after a lot of time in the studio 2008 was very prolific for us release wise. We have forged bonds with many labels this year, Westway, Bombtraxx, Silo, Mechanoise, Audio Gore, Polar Red, Downbeat & Tortured Breaks, and we have also completed material for 2009 for Colony Productions & Bassrock.

We also started our labels Valium (vinyl & digital) & Standard Audio (digital only), and have managed to work with some of our favourite artists within the breaks scene, Vent, IITone, Phat Riderz, MARS, Xim n'bass and Slim Blue to name a few!

This year has also seen us play our DJ sets in Spain, Bristol, London and Jersey, and bookings for 2009 are already taking shape, most notably our booking for the next Breakspoll @ Fabric.

We would like to thank all the people that have made 2008 a great year for us - Jay Cunning Kiss 100 / Menu Music, all the Radik-Al crew from Spain, Ceos @ Downbeat, Jodi @ Mechamusic, MARS (XSSR), Sam & Dan from VENT, Annie Nightingale, Dash from Ctrl Z, Quest, Ben & Lex, Nat & George from 601, Jimmy from Nu Skool Breaks, Lee Cut La Roc, Paul @ Bassrock, Mikey Silo, Henry @ Bombtraxx, Andy @ Z Audio (if it wasn't for this guy we would never have released the track "Cocaine"!!!) and many many others along the way, you know who you are!!!

Here's to 2009, massive thanks to everyone who's supported us, hope you all have a great year ahead!

The APE remix has a nod towards the early 90's, think Primal Scream / Stone Roses, and the Audio Gore release is a pure, balls out amen smasher! Don't forget our remix of Dilemn's Daylight will be getting mastered shortly too!

We also have just recieved back from Vent, a mastered version of our remix of their track Warez 3.5.1, this will be coming out via Colony Productions, run by Vents Sam Ashwell & Dave Tipper.

We are also starting a new original track called "Eat Dirt & Do One", which will be a re-working of an old Resonant Evil drum & bass track you may have heard of called "Troubleshoot", and we hope this to come out on Valium in the near future. Talking of Valium, we have also comissioned remixes of the next release - Vent - Go Gorilla / Turn The Page, from 4Kuba & Mars respectively, can't wait to get that project underway!

And finally to celebrate our release of "The Blimmey Ladder" LP on Beatport via Polar Red we are giving away the huge sounding DEAD RISING

Reviews:

Mars - Beast [Standard]
Lord Almighty. Bassline or what?. This thing sounds like it's going to rip you apart. Big bass, I mean BIG BAD MASSIVE NARLY BASS with sub oozing all over the place. Beast, this thing cannot be named better. It is exactly that. This tune will be huge. Simple, vicious and fucking RAH. It's like Hell on a power trip. DVNT.

Noiseporn.com

Afghan Headspin bring us the first of what I’m sure will be many WICKED releases! With the intent of bringing us music with an attitude these guys have lined up just that for this first one Absolutely Incredible!Mars - Beast….Right from beat one you can tell that mars IS NOT messing around on this tune! Complete with snarling, roaring, fear of god invoking samples this tune is just what it suggests. When I tell you that during the breakdown i felt as though I should grab some kind of protection…..thats because i was truly a bit chilled. By the time the tune drops you really don’t know if you should be scared of the beast….or the BASS! This has got to be the grimiest, dirtiest, fuggin’ balls to the wall tune that I may have ever heard…..I LOVE IT! Big, Big Biiiiiiiig ups to mars and the boys at Standard on this one. This tune gets my official “Big Balla Breaks of the year” Award….and its only June. You MUST hear this tune.

Afghan Headspin - International Timewarp (Mars RmX)…. As a big fan of the Original, I was very excited to hear this tune. The first hint of a B-Line assured me that this would be another proper tune from Russian mastermind MARS. Choc full of smooth ass edits, solid drum lines, and more of that “Oh so Grimey” bass this tune is very fitting, and probably the perfect backer to a tune like “Beast”. Mars continues to bring us proper Peak hour grime and Standard gives us a good idea of how they intend on doing business. This label is one to get excited bout for SURE!
Standard is at this point a digital only label. Brought to us by Afghan Headspin this label is aimed at bringing hope back to the “heavy, grimey, Bass lovin” masses and they certainly do not fail with their first installment. With releases lined up from themselves (Afghan Headspin),Slim Blue, Eddie Noise, Phat Riderz, Xim N'Bass, BBB and MARS to name a few this label shows GREAT promise and has certainly gotten this reviewer extremely STOKED! KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS LABEL.......

MECHANOISE PRESENTS

AFGHAN HEADSPIN : M.S.G / COTE : BRUTALITY

MECH2031 Distributed by Z Audio RELEASED APRIL 2008

AFGHAN HEADSPIN “M.S.G” :

Mechanoise is especially excited about the first release from the Aghan Headspin boys. Having bonded with them at gigs in spain last summer it was clear that they had the kind of attitude to breaks and life in general that was very close to the Mechanoise vibe.

M.S.G has the brute force and attitude that makes it sound at home on the daddy of heavy breaks labels.

“War of the Worlds” samples intoduce a wall of noise which evokes thoughts of Tipper or Si Begg at their nastiest before the bassline drops with beats and catchy lead riff and ethereal vocal lines. Full of tight edits and heavy on the bass this one screams Mechanoise in your face before running off down the pub to get pissed and start a fight with anyone that looks at it’s pint funny.

COTE “BRUTALITY”:

On the flip comes a first release on Mechanoise from up and coming Spanish producer CoTe. Proving once again that the Spaniards really have upped the game as far as production of heavy breaks sounds, CoTe unleashes an intense array of beats and bass tightly produced and carefully edited for those who like their beats heavy as the come. Robotic voices and unwordly synths give this track mood and character above and beyond the average heavy breaks track!

Afghan Headspin forthcoming releases and projects

We have had our heads down in the studio for sometime now with no releases (no thanks to delays and vinyl / mp3 distribution issues), but dont fear, as 2008 is already looking like it will be our most prolific yet, so have a read below, and then a listen to see what we've been up to!

Forthcoming: (TBA tracks are still in negotiations with various labels)

Afghan Headspin - MSG - Mechanoise

Afghan Headspin - Chien Lunatique - Trans:verse
Afghan Headspin - Box Cake (TBA)
