“This week’s DT Podcast is quite simply one of the finest we’ve ever had. The awesome LYNX & KEMO give a taste of what you can hear on their debut album THE RAW TRUTH with some seriously forward-thinking drum & bass. This ain’t like nothing you’ve heard before.”

Another absolute blinder of a podcast this week from the most exciting thing in drum and bass this year, Lynx & Kemo. Laced with the soothing, careful utilised vocals of Kemo, this is truly unique mix that’s incredibly crisp, tight, and full of deep, warm sub bass. An absolute stunner.

Attential all producers!

This month sees the release of LYNX & KEMO’s epic D&B journey ‘The Raw Truth’ on Marcus Intalex’s evergreen imprint SOUL:r. Deep, funky and with more soul than 100 Blaze records, IDJ loved it so much we actually reviewed it (and featured LYNX, the man responsible for 2008′s massive D&B club smash ‘Disco Dodo’) three months too early.

With “The Raw Truth LP” out on June 1, we rang Marcus to see how we could remind you how massive this album deserves to be without resorting to tired and turgid repetition. “Get me a remix…” were his simple words.

This competition is open to producers of ALL styles, no just D&B. As this issue states, genres are about as useful as a solar-powered glo-stick these days. ‘The Raw Truth’ is a fine example, as LYNX & KEMO skillfully join the dots between D&B, Jazz, Downtempo, Soul and traditional tribal rhythms.

A label dedicated to longevity and not just fly-by-night dancefloor bangers, obviously SOUL:r aren’t going to release any old tat, but if you think you got what it takes to complement the LYNX & KEMO single ‘Global Enemies’ with your own original work, read on to find out exactly how you can do it.

Download the parts from:

www.soulr.com/comp/global.zip 

Then before July 3rd, upload your finished stems to:

www.soundcloud.com/rocketsciencemedia/dropbox

All entries will be judgd by Lynx, Kemo and Marcus Intalex and the winner will be notified by SOUL:r. As with all rmix competitions, originality and creative flare are essential! …

And that, to quote LYNX & KEMO, is the raw truth. Good Luck!
