Oh mi gosh. Here we go again. Club STANDARD brings you carefully selected drum and bass acts from different corners of the scene. The 7th STANDARD mayhem is armed with the most hyped artist in drum and bass at the moment: Commix (Metalheadz, UK). If that just isn´t enough to raise the roof we also booked the Finnish drum and bass godfather dj dizzy (keravan junkkakolli) ! ! !
Cambridge duo George Levings and Guy Brewer, AKA Commix's, forthcoming LP 'Call To Mind' on Metalheadz is set to be one the most groundbreaking drum and bass albums of all time. Following in the footsteps of seminal albums such as Reprazent's 'New Forms', Goldie's 'Timeless' and Pendulum's 'Hold Your Colour', 'Call To Mind' offers a breathtaking take on drum and bass in 2007, fusing minimal techno undertones and deep Philly Soul flavas woven around crystal clear drum and bass rythyms to create a diverse and compelling listening experience.
Citing their main influences, the duo are quick to namecheck the likes of Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Billy Paul and Plastikman, not your average drum and bass producers points of reference. This diverse collection of styles and sounds is all evident on the album. For relatively young producers within drum and bass, the album showcases a depth of knowledge production talent way beyond their years. From early liquid releases on the likes of Creative Source, Liquid V and Hospital, the Commix sound has matured and grown into a completely unique style, displaying a crispness of production and high impact simplicty with deep, lush atmospheres and strong organic rythyms.
From tracks such as 'Be True', 'Satellite Type 2' and 'Strictly' that have already been huge within the scene for most of 2007, with their deep, moody basslines and lush atmospherics, to the sexy future funk of 'How You Gonna Feel' featuring the sweet vocals of Steve Spacek, the 808 State inspired strings of 'Emilys Smile', right through to sublime techno bleeps of the Underground Resistance remix of 'Satellite' and 'Spectical, this album, out on October 15th on Metalheadz,is without doubt set to be one the most crucial albums in drum and bass's ever mutating and shape-shifting history.

The night will start propa with fresh beats by dj Iku from Dont Just Stand There - posse.
Iku has been spinning records since 1999. The initial
techno-enthusiasm evolved quickly into an obsession to liquid dnb. His
selection varies from deep rolling dnb to uplifting dancefloor tracks
and everything between and even beyond. Representing the lighter side
of dnb, Iku will bring you the warm sensations of drum and especially
bass.
STANDARD residents abraham, d-bex and jayem from L.A.O.S give their best with mixture of their own tracks and others heaviest&hottest rollers.
