System Request Music

  Night Camp   by  System Request Music

System Request Music is another old-skool head; he's been buying vinyls since 1992 and DJing since 1995. This post is rather surreal for me as he used to DJ on (the now defunkt?) Flex FM, as DJ Wize, which I used to listen to in the last few years of primary school and the first few years of secondary school. I have almost certainly heard him DJ on the radio as a kid, which makes it all the more special for me to introduce you to him now!

System Request Music first came to my attention about 7 months ago when I found the first track he posted to Soundcloud, Higher. The time System Request Music spent at college studying sound engineering and music production clearly shows in his brilliantly crafted and superbly mastered tracks.


Night Camp is a deep, darker liquid tune that has a funky flex to it with a deep bassline and some excellent drum programming; a tune that would go off at Fabio's seminal D&B night,  Swerve!


System Request Music is starting a self-titled digital label in February/March covering Drum & Bass, Breaks, Dubstep and everything in between so keep your eyes locked to his Soundcloud so you don't miss anything!

This post is exciting because Komposure - from the Midlands, UK - is relatively new to production and he's letting me give away two tracks; not just any tracks, they're the first two of his productions that have been professionally mastered. I don't think he fully knows it, from the email he sent me, but these are great tunes.

I'm really feeling this. Komposure really knows how to nail those epic, luscious synths and chord progressions reminiscient of Syncopix; a sound that's a personal favourite of mine.

Komposure comes with a more funked up roller this time, with a bouncy synth hook and some neat bongos and drums.

I've had a strange feeling writing this post and i've just realised why; the tracks are both really strong and compliment each other so well that it feels like i'm writing the blurb for a 12". I'm gonna put this challenge out there: who wants to put these tunes out as a double A-side 12"?

Icon Roller says that he has been listening to Jungle since he first got into dance music in 1994. He's been taking production seriously for a few years now and has been DJing for over a decade. This experience shows in Icon Roller's quality, intelligently crafted tracks. 


Icon Roller lives up to his name with a tasty Drum & Bass roller. A heavy bassline and tight drum programming makes it well worth the download above. I couldn't let the opportunity pass without letting you hear Music So Wonderful. A brilliant Dubstep tune with some recognisable oldschool samples! Icon Roller has been having quite a bit of interest from labels wanting to put out Music So Wonderful and has been working on tracks with MC H.O.S.T., so keep your eyes glued to his Soundcloud to keep up with the latest developments.
