Metalheadz has some amazing releases lined up.

Dub Phizix is pretty unique in his sound. He co-produces a lot with Skeptical so that's the closest. These guys make some great minimal though. There's an LP that's about to come out on Horo that will be similar to Mosaic Vol 2. Horo is usually vinyl only, but they're making an exception for this LP. Check out the Surus record shop.

Artists:
Chimpo
Skeptical
Clarity
Stray
Overlook
Loxy and Resound
June Miller (recently signed to Ram so don't expect anything good in the future)
Jubei
ASC
Pessimist
Ruffhouse
Indigo
Instra:Mental (split up)

Labels:
Autonomic
Samurai and sister label Horo
Horizons
Auxiliary
Ingredients
NonPlus
Cylon
Modulations

Dude, it's Kaon, he is one of the reasons for me to make the start post in this thread.

Great to have you back, K!

3D mapping, to be honest, the 3D is more an effect controller if you'd ask me. (Instant Grat maybe? Or hold a little back for the mapping Jester and myself are creating for the Spectra, which should be compatible as well )

All's great, on the brink of releasing the debut EP of RSTRCTD. (Other genre than D&B though)

Kaon, none of that has to do with drum and bass.

Hai gaiz, long time no post, figured i'd come back to the home base thread instead of starting a fresh one for my piddly question, plus it should always be on the front page of general discussion anyways ^_^

Just got the vci-100 mk2 and a new midifighter 3d, i chose a sweet vci tsi that i'm real happy with, but not sure about which midifighter tsi would be best to go with it. I had a look at the mappings page, but they all seem to be mostly aimed at people who are using the midifighter by itself, and so are not what i'm looking for. Any ideas?

Anyways, hope all is well team ^_^
