Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest is home to some of the most stunning pieces of scenery the world has to offer. So it’s little surprise that its inhabitants have an appreciation of the more aesthetically pleasing aspects of life. Spinline are three such inhabitants. Between them Mark Gulacsi, Norbert Safar and Andras Tallai have crafted some of the most earpleasing atmospheres in drum & bass, a fact which is substantiated by their appearances on Andy C’s Ram Records and DJ Friction’s Shogun Audio imprint. Last year saw the trio (alongside Hydro) offer up their Demand Records debut with the incredible ‘Junction 13’ / ‘Perimeter’ and now they’re back with an amazing six-track EP for the label. The vinyl version spans four tracks, including the sharp edges of ‘Contrast’, the minimal magnificence of ‘Tokyo’, the fantastically different ‘Life’ and the lazy low end of ‘Sundays’. One listen will define this as not only a beautifully crafted selection of drum & bass tracks, but a brave A&R decision from Demand, who are fighting the formulaic clichés that prey on the genre. Included in the digital pack are two more stunning Spinline productions. ‘Geek’ is infused with breezy brilliance while ‘Protocol’ conjours up visions of a mechanoid future, dominated by machines. Once again Demand Records prove themselves to be one of the most forward-thinking labels in the scene. Never compromising, never wavering and never doing anything just for the sake of it. This is D&B of the highest quality. a Spinline - Contrast b Spinline - Tokyo c Spinline - Life d Spinline - Sundays
