‘Anything For Attention’ was a release which reginited ‘Plates’ after a brief hiatus due to lockdown, signifying their first vocal record since ‘Intravenous’ in 2018. Meanwhile ‘The Fog’, ‘Big Sound’ and ‘Set The Tone’ continued the album’s march towards release with more dancefloor orientated deliveries. ‘War Dub’ started the journey of singles whilst ‘Cloak & Dagger’, ‘Look to the Skies’ and ‘Made in Detroit’ followed in quick succession. So each individual release featured music which had already done damage, but with a less disposable feel to every single something which has resonated with the pair’s deep history within drum & bass. And despite a global pandemic, they persevered in delivering their cuts across clubs, through DJ sets and online through live streams for RAM Records as well as music festivals around the world. Calyx & TeeBee wanted to strip back the way in which people consumed their music through ‘Plates’, especially within the new digital age. The standard which was set for ‘Plates’ remained clear not just through the album’s art, but also in the return to dubplate culture which was the primary ethos behind its release. Years in the making, and with tracks in the spotlight across the DJ circuit throughout this time, Calyx & TeeBee’s brand new ‘Plates’ project is finally set for release.
