We have big news here at Ten Ton Beats, after a flurry of successful releases with more in the pipeline TTB is embarking n its first album project, the as yet untitled album will be by one of the first to step oon the Ten Ton Train the one and only DANGEROUS.
We are very excited about this forthcoming project by one of TTB’s hardest working producers. The Tracklist for the LP is still in the
planning although some tracks have already been agreed and its shaping up to be one of those albums that you think,” i’ll have that one, oh and that 1, ahhhhh F’ it I’ll just download the whole thing”!!!!. Tracks on this monster album will include, Get Busy, being heavily rotated on dub at the moment, my personal fave the sub bass driven Inhuman cravings co produced by partner in crime Steffi graft, not forgetting Dangerous’s colaborations with dubstep producer Wizdom a trip into the slower side of electronic music and colabs with Neutronic head honcho Dj Manga and longtime studio partner Psycotik. We dont have a release date for the LP yet but we are hoping to release it over the coming summer months.
Alot to look forward to and we will keep you informed as the album starts to take shape.

The south coast has brought us some of the best dnb talent the UK has to offer, Artists such as Friction, Mattix & Futile and Dj Dusty are all widely known on the Drum and Bass scene. Samy Nicks and Partner in crime Rekwest are no exception. Although relatively new to the dnb public the two producers have been making waves for a while now, achieving airplay on 1xtra in a short space of time.
The Diagnosis: This track has anthem written all over it, an eerie intro filled with phat pads and orchestral strings holds your interest as the breaks are released in bite size chunks filling the track preparing you for the onslaught. More percussion is added the giving the listener a sudden realisation that something serious is about to go down. An unexpected drumstep drop keeps you entertained for 4 bars until the dnb speed carnage is unleashed, Savage bassline coupled with hypnotic skip time beats push this track along at a ferocious pace, as the moody dnb head nod slowly turns into an all out brockout Diagnosis slips back into Drumstep mode leaving you guessing what may happen next, bass variations and clever fx shooting off in the background is what’s in store until the well deserved break down gives you a breather before it starts all over again. Diagnosis works well as an intro, outro or just dropped bang in the middle of a set it never disappoints and carries the TTB rewind guaranteed tag. Samy Nicks and Rekwest step into the dnb scene with arguably the best track of the year. More coming from this duo on TTB as the year goes on.
Funkadelic: The duo take a totally different direction for the flip, the 70′s porn collection has
defiantly been raided as Samy Nicks and Rekwest get their pimp game on for funkadelic. Funky intro laced with wah, wah guitar effects giving that 70′s feel, Hard well produced drums drop into the mix giving a nice old school, new school combination, very infectious and cleverly put together. As you get used to the hedonistic 70′s vibe Funkadelic drops into some serious bass heavy shenanigans, Filthy bass stabs and attention to detail is afoot here as the bassline variates from one pattern another making sure the listeners attention is always kept, this as well as those well produced drums and smart sampling make this a very worthy flipside to The Diagnosis

Ten Ton beats 14 (TTB14) is almost upon us, this time we have called upon the production talents of the one and only DJ Shrust, based in germany this DJ producer has been making waves in the drum and bass community for years. First up from Mr Shrust we have the mighty Earthquake enducing ‘SHIVA’ well processed clean breaks sit nicely alongside a bassline that seems to have energy in endless supply, Shrust twists and turns the bassline injecting a very clever sample every 4-8bars, giving the track variation and body. ’SHIVA’ moves effortlessly to it’s midway point leaving the listener thinking that its all over and all to quickly, What i like to call the cool down zone gives you a breather before the mayhem starts all over again.
DUTTY, STOMPY VIBEZ FROM THE DEUTSCHLAND DON.
The Flip side to ‘SHIVA’ is entitled ‘DEATH’ this time Shrust teams up with Kent dnb head skorpio, different vibes to this track with the same massive impact. The sampling technique is utilised again giving the whole single a definate identity. Strong orchestral intro starts this one off reminds me of one of those massive big budget blockbuster movies when you know something serious is about to go down, and it doesn’t dissapoint, the bass line takes you in all sorts of different directions, well produced drums keep you grounded though as the DEATH takes you on a journey through the underworld and back out the other side. Shrust and Skorpio make serious Production Duo heres hoping we here more from them on Ten Ton Beats, but untill then press play on the player on the right to hear what all the fuss is about.
