After the success of Amber D’s last release on tidy, the first ever double EP by any artist on the label, it was only a matter of time before she returned with another piece of fiery production.
This time Amber turns her skills to the hard house classic Don’t Cross The Line by the 12” Thumpers – released today, 26th February 2007. Amber has never done a remix before, which when you hear the track is extremely hard to understand. Filled with some of the filthiest hard riffs you’ve ever heard and a ferocious breakdown with a killer ‘hands-in-the-air’ moment, she’s come up with a track that wipes the floor with everything else out so far this year (and most of what came out last year to be fair!).

Friday March 2nd is a landmark date in the history of drum & bass. Ram Records has been one of the most important drum & bass labels in the history of the genre. They have been at the very forefront of drum & bass ever since Ant Miles and a sixteen year old Andy C released the label’s debut ‘Sour Mash EP’ in 1992, and almost immediately wrote the label into jungle history with their genre-defining and scene-shaping magnum opus ‘Valley of the Shadows’ in 1993.
The years since have seen the label become one of the scene’s dominant forces with one of the tightest knit collectives. Along with the founding fathers, the talents of Shimon, Moving Fusion and Red One were soon incorporated in to their stable, and later the likes of Nightbreed and Subfocus were added, creating one of the most formidable collectives in the scene. Their music has been of such consistently high quality it’s possible to pick a drum & bass anthem of the year for every year from the Ram catalogue alone.

Calabria was first conceived by producer Rune, released on Credence in 2003 and has since been one of the most popular bootlegged tracks. A HUGE club anthem in its own right, most bootlegs have featured the vocal talent of Crystal Waters, famed for her own massive chart success in 1991 with ‘Gypsy Woman (La Da Dee La Da Da)’ ‘Destination Unknown’ has been an Ibiza anthem for the last 3 years running.
For those that don’t know Calabria is a place in Italy and so it only seems right that ‘Destination Calabria’ is produced by Italian dance god Alex Gaudino; who has also had releases on Positiva ‘Lil Love’, ‘Blue Lipstick’ on Hed Kandi and ‘Reaction’ on Data.
Big support comes from the Galaxy network who have already Superhitted Destination Calabria and won hands down everyday on their ‘Fly or Die’ listener vote competition. Also championed by the likes of Judge Jules on Radio 1, Andi Durrant and many more….
