Label: Algorythm Recordings
The much anticipated debut album release from Counterstrike has taken over a year to create and showcases the current pinnacle of their audio, visual, creative and technical artistry.
Counterstrike also known as Animal Chin and 500 Mills or Justin Counterstrike & Eaton Crous respectively, have been drum 'n bass DJ's/promoters/producers in South Africa since the mid 90's. Collectively producing since 1998, they've sold over 60 000 records on various high profile labels such as Rob Playford's Moving Shadow, Dieselboy's Human and Dylan's Obscene. They released their first 12" through Allied Recordings in 2001 and haven't looked back since. 2003 and beyond saw them frequently DJ'ing abroad. In 2005 they were offered a P&D deal for their own label Algorythm Recordings and so far it includes releases from artists such as Current Value, Limewax, SPL, T.Z.A and Axis & Trank. The label has gone from strength to strength and their EP "From Beyond The Grave" was met with great interest from the record buying public. All the artwork and video for the label is handled in-house by Eaton, who is a 3D artist by day. Eaton's 9 - 5 leaves a lot of the DJ'ing and touring in the hands of Justin who performed in 16 countries, just in 2007. Apart from their busy schedules as DJ's and Producers, they've promoted hundreds of drum 'n bass events between them. Some as early as 1995. They run the biggest regular drum 'n bass night in South Africa. Established in 2001, Homegrown attracts 600 screaming fans every month.
Insubordination will feature Counterstrike tunes along with collaborations and remixes with people like The Panacea, Current Value and Donny. There are no fillers or noodling experiments in other genres, just 100% high energy drum 'n bass aimed at the harder spectrum of the dancefloor. The kind of sound Counterstrike fans know and expect. It does what it says on the box, but they've put enough time and effort into the album that it's not just hard for the sake of being hard. It has enough twists and turns to keep you coming back for more. The album will be released in 3 x 4 vinyl & mp3 parts(or phases as the EP's are called). 12 tunes in total. The first part will be out at the end of February and then monthly through to April. The CD release will contain all 12 tunes and 2 videos (The videos will also be on the Algorythm channel on Youtube) with the final part in April. The CD is licensed to Sublight for US distribution with the UK, Europe and the rest of the world's distribution handled by Nu Urban Music.
