Label: Trendkill Records

Something which makes Trendkill Records stand out is the attention to detail which their roster affords to their music. The London based label, spearheaded by DJ and producer Prolix, has continued to push the paradigm of dance music throughout his career on mainstay imprints such as Playaz, Metalheadz, Ganja Tek, Virus Recordings and Bad Taste and this is something he’s carried into his own imprint. Just like Prolix’s own music, Trendkill sits at the darker end of the drum & bass spectrum and in these shadows comes through some of the most technically adept producers throughout the expanse of dance music. An outfit which fits this prototype is Task Horizon, who from Switzerland have brought forward a collection of tracks that have solidified their place within its murkier world.

Their forthcoming single ‘Thought Crime’ and ‘Adaption’ is no different and Task Horizon join the Trendkill army for the first time with this release. It’s easy to see how Task Horizon are so highly regarded across drum & bass, with both it’s A-side and reverse providing an insight into how the producers have graced the back catalogues of labels such as Eatbrain, Cause4Concern and Blackout Music.

‘Thought Crime’ is the first of two tracks, beginning the single with a cutthroat expedition of the monikers which Task Horizon have perfected. Winding up on quickly flitting note arpeggios and straying hi hats, a final tapped introduction pulls you into its first explosive drop. With each drum pad building then slowly distorting until they begin to break, Task Horizon let you know their conjoined might on this heavyweight track.
