ONSET presents:
CAUSE 4 CONCERN
(C4C/VIRUS/RENEGADE HARDWARE -UK)
That every cause has an effect is common knowledge. For Optiv, Mark and Stuart the cause is drum & bass, and their effect is both indelible and undeniable.Known collectively as Cause 4 Concern, the crew came together back at the start of 1999, when Optiv and Tobie were affiliated with Aspect Records, and Mark and Stuart were working for Vinyl Distribution. A testament to their talent, it took only a few short months of collaborative creation before they scored their first signing – and not just to any old label – but the massive and seminal Moving Shadow. At the time they were known as nCode, but by July they had become Cause 4 Concern and started their own imprint label. The first 12” dropped that December, and secured the support of DJs Doc Scott, Fierce and Grooverider, amongst many others. Releases on respected labels Tru Playaz, Renegade Hardware, Moving Shadow and Timeless Recordings were to follow, and left little doubt that this was one crew to keep an eye on. Promoters right across the planet couldn’t help but pay attention, and consequently there aren’t many places C4C haven’t performed. Such was the success of Cause4Concern Recordings that 2001 saw the launch of sister label C4C Limited. Intended as an outlet for experimental tracks and remixes of previous C4C releases by other established artists, the imprint has so far seen input from producers Stakka & Skynet, Teebee, Matrix, Fierce and Rymetyme. By the end of the year, C4C had been nominated in the ‘ Best Newcomers’ category of the Knowledge Magazine Drum & Bass Awards. Impressing their peers as well as the press, demand for their product increased, resulting in releases on renowned labels BC Presents, Metro, Quarantine and Virus. This well deserved exposure expedited their inevitable ascent through the ranks of the Drum & Bass scene Recently reformed after a few years of inactivity, 2007 sees the formidable foursome known as Cause 4 Concern return to wreak havoc with their first full length album. Spread over five separate 12”s to be followed by a double CD, Pandemic picks up right where the lads left off – the leading edge of electronic music. All of the elements that made them one of the most exciting and entertaining production posses in drum ‘n’ bass remain intact, and are both refined and reinforced. Infection is imminent. Prepare for the Pandemic.

LEGION
(Viper Recordings/Sine Language Imprint/Bad Chemistry/Grid/?Drum&BassArena -Nashville)
Legion is a new outfit consisting of Advance, Hunter, and Black Sound Effects. Advance has had a long career in Drum and Bass with multiple releases for Renegade Hardware as part of Quadrant. In 2008 Advance stepped out on his own with a release for Dieselboy's Human Imprint, which was also featured on Dieselboy's most recent mixed CD, "Substance D," and also completed a collaboration track with AK1200 and NC-17 for Trace's DSCI4 Recordings. Hunter has been in the dance music scene for well over 10 years as a DJ, promoter, and professional sound engineer. He has worked in the studio with Impulse of Sinthetix/Corrupt Souls and Dylan from the Upbeats on unrelated material. Black Sound Effects has been doing Live PA shows for some time now dabbling in other genres of dance music, but his main focus has always been producing avant-garde Drum and Bass. Through a random chance meeting in early 2009 Advance met up with Hunter and Black Sound Effects and the trio hit it off immediately forming the group, Legion, and their own label, Sine Language Imprint. In December of 2009 Legion debuted their first release on Sine Language Imprint, Signal of Design EP, which received massive DJ support from Ed Rush and Optical, Dom and Roland, Upbeats, Gridlok, Cause 4 Concern, John B, Skynet, and heavy play on The Risky's Drum&Bass Arena Podcasts. Forthcoming releases by Legion include the rigmashing track with GENR8 titled, Devils With Aces, on Bad Chemistry Recordings, a liquid roller for Grid Recordings featuring Patrick O'Hearn (Missing Persons/Frank Zappa) titled, Both Sides, and Sine Language Imprint's second release featuring a collaboration track with Stu C4C. Legion is quickly taking the drum and bass scene by storm.
