Not sure if you got the memo but we love Calibre here at EDJ. You will probably have seen all of the coverage we've been rightly giving him in conjunction with his recent Fabric compilation and 'Spill' album so it's no surprise that we're giving the latest instalment of DJ Flight's 'The Next Chapter' show a plug. A show that not only features some nice informal chat with the man himself but that also contains only Calibre's own productions past, present and future. Nice The Next Chapter [...]
This week on Five at 5 will feature artists that have played and are scheduled to play the tenth edition of the BASS CAMP festival. For Tuesday, we've got Bangalore electronic music veteran Vachan Chinnappa spinning his five in the run up to #BassCamp10. Tune in. 1. Calibre - 'Blazin' 2. Oliver Ferrer & DJ Koiti - 'DNBZ' (DuoScience Remix) 3. Rowney & Propz ft. Trigga - 'Fly Gal Remix' [...]
I caught up with Calibre to talk about new album Spill and asked when he knew it was done. Calibre: I suppose it would be around 2 years, I don't normally spend that amount of time on an album... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Much like the Felix K album, our pick of two weeks ago, anybody who keeps half an eye on this blog will have spotted this one coming a mile off as well. In a week of impeccably high quality releases from ASC, Stray and Alix Perez, there was never really any question for me, which album would be getting my vote for 12" of the Week. For a while a few years back, a Calibre album became something of an annual ritual, often precluded by his Sun and Bass set of equally [...]
Alix Perez hit the Radio 1 decks last week with his debut Essential Mix, a careful alliance of tracks representing the core of his preferred sound. Perez is first and foremost a drum-and-bass producer, but in his 120 minutes with Radio 1, it'd be easy to not really know that. He's experimental and "nu skool," often associated with the more "liquid" side of drum and bass. With fewer samples and more layers, liquid is often defined as a calmer, more appropriate cousin to the breakneck 160-180 bpm pace of a traditional, rave-friendly drum-and-bass. [...]
Tweet There has been a terrible accident at SGTMT Headquarters. I'd been telling the lads that we need to get the shelves looked at for weeks. The ones in the Listening Room which hold all the vinyl. They're an accident waiting to happen, I said. Matt said it would cost to much to get someone in to fiddle with them. Furthermore, we spent the whole maintenance budget on re-sealing the bath (probably a reference to my over-excited bath behaviour I noted with narrowed eyes), so the shelves would have to wait. [...]

Ahead of his iminent Fabriclive mix due to drop later this month we grasped the rare opportunity with both hands, to grab some time with one of drum and bass' finest exports, Calibre. For man who is often considered to be quite withdrawn from the limelight, this was a golden opportunity to delve a little deeper into his thoughts on the mix, his music in general and most importantly those forthcoming albums that have been creating such a stir in certain circles. So make sure you settle in for a long read - this is not your everyday interview! [...]

To do anything consistently for ten years requires vision, determination and an unwavering belief in what you do. These three elements — combined with a discerning ear and eye for new talent — are part of what's helped Kasra's Critical Music forge a distinctive sound in the world of drum 'n' bass and help push the genre forward. Launched in the living room of his north London flat in 2002, Critical Music has fostered a who's who of production including Enei, Break, Rockwell, Sabre, Stray, Cyantific, Marcus Intalex, S.P.Y, Calibre and Total Science. Having released of a steady [...]
The hallowed yearly Calibre set from Sun & Bass has surfaced, finally! Praise the almighty! I could waffle on about a load of 'summers coming' clichés, how crap the weather is or even just how special these recordings have become to be to legions of fans all over the world but I'll leave that to you instead as you stick this on and zone out. DRS on the M.I.C for the Irishman's set, Strategy & SP for Intalex-lex-lex.

Riya interview and spotlight on Tuned In 2 // (CIAUKLP001) A CIA Recordings release is always an exciting thing. One, they’re not as regular as they once were with the equally good but historically deeper sister label Deep Kut taking most of the release schedule these days. Two, you’re never quite sure exactly what they have up their sleeve. The label can release the smoothest liquid number one minute and a ripping rib trembler the next. Hold on to your hats then, as released last week was a 14 [...]
Calibre - Rennaisance EP [Footprints] While Intalex seems to be riding a renewed wave of popularity at the moment (under both his guises) obviously confirmed by our bestowing on him the hallowed '12 of the Week' crown, this week also saw another revered name within in the scene grace us with some new music, in the shape of the splendid 'Rennaisance EP' from Calibre on the Footprints label. Rumours abound at the moment that new albums are in the pipeline from the Irish magician, a fact seemingly confirmed [...]
I like Calibre. Do you like Calibre? Of course you do, you have taste, its why you're reading this website! Jokes aside, thanks to the good folks over on the DNBA forum this set has recently resurfaced and its just too damn good so has to be spread as far and wide as possible. Absolute vibes form start to finish with a ridiculously on point selection and quality vocals from Stamina. Despite being almost 7 years old it still sounds fresh as a daisy and there is always just that certain 'je ne sais quoi' about Calibre sets, it's like [...]
First and foremost, I want to say that Tim Berg “Avicii” is an amazing producer and musician, but this song Levels has got to stop! I remember hearing it back at Ultra 2011 and being absolutely blown away. But it’s almost 2013 now and I’m still hearing this shit at every corner. There ain’t no lingering in EDM, we evolve quickly and with purpose. This track came and went a year ago, why is everyone still playing that shit!? I like to reminisce as much as the next person, but there are other tracks, nay, BETTER tracks than AviciiLevels. Let [...]

Following the absolute monster of a remix that DJ du-jour, Maya Jane Coles recently unleashed, D&B producer and DJ Calibre steps up to rework Bo Saris 'She's On Fire' into a smooth and sweet drum and bass track. As far removed from the hands-in-the-air, Ibiza terrace vibe we got from MJC, Calibre takes things down an uptempo, liquid avenue. Friction premiered the remix on his recent BBC Radio 1 show which you can listen to now. And just in case you've yet to hear Maya Jane Coles add [...]
