We thought it's finally a great time to do a new Science interview again, and this time the victim is a Finnish drum'n'bass producer Furi Anga, who recently released an album called Omnipresence on Silk Recordings late February.

Furi Anga, or Antti Viitamäki, is drum'n'bass producer based in Riihimäki, Finland. For the global drum'n'bass scene he might be a relatively fresh name, but in Finland he's released several self-funded cdr-releases. After getting his first "official" release on Phil Source's label Vampire (a collaboration with Resound called Waterpipe), his music has been released by labels like Shadybrain, Translation and Med School.
Some could say his music like a mix of modern "minimal" drum'n'bass and 90's atmospheric drum'n'bass with a touch of idm, but that's just one of describing his style.

If you haven't yet, have a listen to the clips of the album from the player below, and view the full article to check the interview.

Hey ya'll! We are live today at Basso Radio 22-00 (GMT +3).
There will be a little Bristol dnb special in the show tonight, and there's also some new music to play. According to a scientific research, new music is good for your brain, so make sure you tune in tonight!

Here's a brand new album from MJAZZ, a label that has been around "for a while". As the name suggests, the album is about the golden era of drum'n'bass, but with a modern approach. Some tunes in this album are actually from 90's, but many of the tracks are brand new and written specifically for this LP project, but with mid 90's drum'n'bass in mind.

The album contains tunes from the label boss Justice, and also from guys like Metro, Cuelock, Jason Os, Paranoid Society and many more, and you can check the clips from the soundcloud player below.
The CD album is limited to 50 pieces only, with each CD and sleeve hand sprayed and finished with unique artwork, and the package also contains the arrow stencil used in production of CD and stickers. Get your copy from Surus before it's sold out. And obviously you can get the digital audio files from any good shops.

While listening to the clips, check out Justice's interview with Organic and an album review by everyday junglist.

Here's the 2nd installment of Black Plastics ep series of previously unreleased tunes by ze german bleepmeister herr Martsman. Check it out. Make sure you check out the first part too if you haven't yet. You can get the tunes with 4 euros, but if you are a good person you can pay more than that too if you want to.

About a month ago I wrote a post about Martsman's plans to release some previously unreleased tracks his bandcamp site . The first batch is now (or actually since monday) available for purchase and while listening to the tunes you can also check out an interview he did with kmag couple of weeks ago.

The next parts of the series will be released in September and October, and there may be even more after that.

Martsman, who has previously released music on labels like Med School, Alphacut, Warm Communications and Offshore, just announced on his facebook page that he will be putting out a series of four track ep's with previously unreleased tunes on his Bandcamp site during the coming months. You can already check out the previews of the first EP of the series, Black Plastics pt 1.

We at Science Helsinki are definitely looking forward to this release, and we'll post again when the first part is available.

Black Plastics Pt.1 by Martsman

Tom Jenkinson selected five jungle tracks that sprung to his mind for XLR8R mag and accompanied them with some words. The guy's always been a massive influence to me and the tracks are wicked, check em' if you feel that you haven't had your daily dose of amen madness.

(Oh and his latest album just came out and it's great. Some resemblance to the Ultravisitor era stuff, maybe a bit more straightforward at times.)

Starts with darker techno bits and moves forward to dubstep, even to some really wobbly ones (they're good though, trust me) and some drummy tunes too.

Why? For the glory of sunday of course!

Something I could file under "lately I've been listening to..", and I thought i would like to share this mix with you too.

Danish techno duo Northern Structures provided a mix and an interview for Tea And Techno blog/podcast. Some of you might recognize one half of the duo, Troels B-Knudsen, with his former dj/producer name Pyro. He has a rather wide discography, and he also used to run a label called Nerve Recordings with Paul Reset. As an artist/dj he was known for making and supporting the techno dnb sound, so it's not really a big surprise that he's dropped the dnb part and gone techno both solo, and in this case with his friend Lasse Buhl.

The mix provided by the guys is techno that sounds like techno. No minimal clicks and bleeps, but cold (northern?), rough and almost industrial sounds but thank god nothing like schranz. The overall vibe is very much similar to their production, and possibly there are some fo their tracks in the mix as well. There is no tracklist, so I really have no idea, and I really don't know anything about techno, except the fact that I love it.

Anyway, this kind of techno is definitely my cup of tea (ba dum kssh). And make sure you check the interview too, it's worth reading.
