Metalheadz Podcast 76 - Fanu

Our first label podcast of the year comes from Perth based Jaise, fresh off the back of the release of his second METHXX EP in December 2022. Lock in for a near 2 hour selection of the finest cutting edge Drum and Bass.

Fresh from launching our new HeadzState label we're delighted to have Binary State (aka Nookie) stepping up for an eclectic selection representing the next Metalheadz podcast.

Loxy's back at the controls of the Metalheadz podcast for the first time since 2011 with a near 3 hour journey through the freshest of drum and bass styles in typical Grim Reaper fashion.

Metalheadz Podcast 72 and the first of the year comes from Friske with a showcase of self-productions and current favourites. Now with an album under his belt, Friske has been working away behind the scenes on new music for Metalheadz as well as his own imprint Requisite Music.

2 years on from his debut album we welcome Agzilla to the Metalheadz podcast series with a colossal 4 hour mix of breakbeats celebrating his prominent tastes, influences and current favourites. As a veteran DJ and pioneer of the underground sound in Iceland, Agzilla has remained connected to Metalheadz since his first meeting with Goldie way back in 1991. That relationship and affinity with the label led to the release of the aforementioned debut album in 2019. Entitled 'Cats Can Hear Ultrasound', the 13 track LP covers a diverse range of BPMs and styles, blurring the lines between the rough and the smooth and emerging as an authentic body of music for the years to come.

Our first podcast of 2021 comes from Mako, a staple of the Metalheadz camp and an artist that has released both a solo album and a collab album (as OneMind) on the label in recent years. For this edition the Bristol-based producer and DJ has dug deep into his crates to deliver a Certificate 18 special, a groundbreaking label founded by Paul Arnold in 1993 that went on to nurture the talents of early pioneering figures such as Photek, Source Direct, Teebee, Klute and more. In Goldie's own words "Certificate 18 isn't really a label, in the same way that Ibiza Records isn't a label, in the same way that Kikman Records isn't a label. It's the very foundation. It's a certain parallax with those labels that sometimes when we're in the dark we need to shine a brighter light on those that have paved the way."

Stepping up for the next label podcast is Quartz, somebody who first appeared on Metalheadz in 2018. Since then the Cardiff based producer has honed and refined his already distinctive sound, so much so he now has an impending debut main label EP set for release later this year. In this near 3 hour podcast Quartz explores the 170 spectrum before ending on some favourites from his own personal collection.
