Neosignal, simply put, has become the platform for a new breed of drum and bass that is taking the scene by storm. Created from the amalgamation of two of the most technically adept and dancefloor smashing artists – Phace and Misanthrop – the label’s very own ethos is to ignore trends and the constraints of genres, and produce music that is of “timeless characteristics and quality”. Not a bad mission to be fair.

This is something that both artists have been doing since way before their regular collaborations to the most reputable drum and bass labels, such as the ever-popular Subtitles and Noisia’s own Vision imprint. It is completely logical for them to create their own platform from which they can launch their assault on the world of music; allowing themselves complete creative freedom which in the hands of such talented musicians can only ever be a good thing.

And it has paid off. Current releases on the label have taken pride place in the record boxes of all of the top DJ’s; notably the obvious Andy C and BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Bailey.  People the world over are practically frothing at the mouth for vinyl cuts of these tunes, and with many more in the works – so far only making sly appearances in promotional mixes - this trend is set to continue.

It’s not only EP’s they are releasing either; the launch of the label was coupled with the release of the first collaborative LP under the Neosignal signature. Not only did this release garner a huge amount of attention for an already prominent collection of artists, but it also perfectly demonstrated their ability to do so much more than pump out ridiculous drum and bass.   

Not only is it apparent that the founding fathers of Neosignal are more than capable of crafting some of the finest music, but also of recognising similar talent. Their catalogue at current does only contain releases from themselves as well as three collaborations with their long time friends Noisia. However, as history shows, their ability to work with other artists and still allow their sound to shine through shows that when they do eventually release other artists’ tunes on their label, you can trust their creative direction to the end of the earth.

All I can say in summary is watch this space, because trust me it won’t be empty for long. Soon it will be filled with the sonic boom of one of the greatest labels on earth, and you will not miss it.
