Every so often an act will emerge in a specific genre and turn it inside out. They’ll pull it, they’ll push it, they’ll make you question everything about it. They’ll bring in their own influences, elements and techniques. They’ll build huge towers then knock them down… Only to build something even bigger, even more influential, timeless and definitive.

One particular duo who continue to do this are multiple award winning, Vienna-based duo Camo & Krooked.

Cited by peers and press as one of the most important and vital acts in drum & bass this generation; since 2007 Reinhard Camo Rietsch and Markus Krooked Wagner have thrown every corner of their souls into the music that brought them together and drives them. For over a decade their distinctive, instantly recognisable signature has been sprayed across the catalogues of the most seminal labels in electronic music, they’ve put Austria on the map as one of the top three incubational countries in their genre and their sound has had a phenomenal impact on the direction of drum & bass.

Now, with four albums, 126 original tunes, 25 remixes, 50 remixes of their own music and 16 awards to their name, they continue to take their sound, vision and ideas to unchartered heights. Thanks to their energy, passion and ability to tear up the rule book time and time again, it still feels like this is only the beginning of their decorated journey.

“Camo & Krooked are the drum & bass rooted duo filling the void in modern dance music. The Austrian duo – made up of Reinhard Rietsch and Markus Wagner – take production leaps and bounds unlike any electronic collective.” DJ Mag

 

Mefjus

Based out of Linz, north Austria, Martin Schober is a singular protagonist at the forefront of this beguiling game we call drum & bass. He likes hip-hop, skateboarding, schnitzel, Leibniz biscuits and long walks in the sunset, but he’s most respected for how he traipses across electronic music’s wildest terrains with total boundary abandonment… And is regarded as a leading influential new-gen figure in the genre.

From his agenda-setting halftime twist of ‘Sunday Crunk’ to his rolling, emotional collabo cameo on Camo & Krooked’s acclaimed album ‘Mosaik’. From his entrance into the Fabriclive mix hall of fame with a mix album comprising entirely of his own productions (‘Fabriclive 95’) to his Drum&BassArena Award-winning debut album ‘Emulation’, Mefjus’s signature sound has been felt across the furthest expanses of the genre since he emerged in the early 2010s.

Now working closely with Vision – the label run by kindred studio spirits Noisia – Mefjus continues to fine-tune his musical syntax, technical dexterity, eye for detail and deft groove sensibilities. The latest chapter to savour this on-going flux of development is his second album ‘Manifest’.

Released April 2018, ‘Manifest’ is the sound of Mefjus 2.0. After several years in the studio wilderness, exploring the dark science of song structure, musicality and textural contrasts, ‘Manifest’ captures a new mindset for Mefjus. Raw, energetic, playful and subversive, ‘Manifest’ is the most personal, diverse and daring body of work to date. Not so much as reminder of why he occupies such a unique position in drum & bass but a straight-up statement of intent.
