Established in 2006, Symmetry Recordings emerged as a prominent record label specializing in Jungle and Drum n Bass genres. Created and owned by the esteemed producer Break, the label has gained recognition for its diverse range of exceptional music releases. Symmetry Recordings serves as a platform for Break's most acclaimed solo works and all of his albums, solidifying its status as his creative sanctuary.
In its initial five years, Symmetry Recordings exclusively represented Break's own tracks, showcasing his immense talent. However, in 2011, Break expanded the label's horizons, inviting a remarkable array of up-and-coming producers to join its ranks. This move proved instrumental in forging collaborations with industry giants, resulting in an impressive lineup of renowned artists.
Notable tracks like "Slow Down," a collaboration with DJ Die, and "Don't Look Down," featuring the talents of Calyx and Teebee, have played a pivotal role in shaping Symmetry Recordings into a highly respected hub. The label has garnered unwavering support from Drum n Bass enthusiasts worldwide, establishing itself as a trusted gateway to cutting-edge music.
Review: Gent's DNB star, Boycot, delivers a potent double-dose of bass weight with "Man Down / On The Reg" on Symmetry Recordings. "Man Down" kicks things off with a freight train of a low-end, a pulsating sub that underpins the entire track. Distorted vocal chops and rhythmic stabs add an industrial edge, while the cleverly placed snare hits keep the energy high. It's a dark and driving cut, perfect for late-night rave sessions. "On The Reg" takes a slightly different approach, opting for a more rolling bassline and a dubbier soundscape. The atmosphere is thick and hazy, with echoing delays and swirling textures creating a sense of mystery. The track builds subtly throughout, culminating in a euphoric breakdown before dropping back into the hypnotic groove.
Review: Man like Break in the house! Following his almighty album 'Digital World', the Symmetry bossman is back with some absolutely divine dnb flavours. 'Cocktail' says it all. Coming on strong like a Defcon-era Total Science, it's stark homage to the roots with brazen drums tuned to the most infinite degree. It's backed by plenty more heat; 'Juice It' comes with an ice cold sense of tension and a sudden splash of vocal you'll think you imagined. Too good. Deeper again we hit pure hardcore hedonism with the dark stabs of 'Vanishing Point' before 'Tell Me' closes the EP on more of a dreamy, euphoric note. Big love to Break.
Review: Fresh from his Sci-Clone rebirth with Nathan Haines, OG pioneer A Sides gets busy on Break's Symmetry imprint with two delicious slabs of D&B. One shimmering, the other smouldering. 'Chances' sparkles with A Sides' most soulful positive side, all dreamy and swooning. 'Only One Sound' sizzles like some type of high voltage love child of DLR and S.P.Y. Precision balance.
Review: Boom! Break drops his fifth studio album and suddenly everything in the world seems that little bit brighter and funkier. Some tracks you might already know - 'Gunshot Love', 'Code Red' and 'Wait For You' have all been tried and tested bangers this year already - but the rest is an odyssey waiting for you to explore. Featuring the likes of Liam Bailey, SP:MC, Lorna King, Charli Brix and the sadly departed Singing Fats (RIP), 'Digital World' runs the full Break gamut from graceful soul ('Lost') to utterly gully ('Another Life') and all funky shades and styles in between. Guaranteed vibes.
