New Label Signing: Lifted Music
We are proud to announce a new label to the Reprise Publishing roster: Lifted Music
Lifted Music was started by Chris Renegade in 2006. The Label released The Prologue EP in early 2007, their first release; a compilation of tracks by Spor, Apex, Ewun & Evol Intent. Manager Chris Renegade had now begun to promote the label with Podcasts featuring many of the artists on his label, and these helped to spread Lifted Music further among Drum & Bass fans.
After subsequent releases and live shows, Lifted Music gained approval by artists & DJs Andy C, Friction, Noisia, Pendulum, TeeBee & Calyx. In 2008, Lifted Music carried out further promoting by touring across Russia, North America, and Europe.
2013 sees further releases from Spor, Neonlight, Memtrix and Mefjus.
New Signing: Neonlight
We are proud to announce another new signing to the Reprise Publishing roster – Neonlight
Neonlight is the union of two very different personalities who have one particular thing in common – a true passion for Drum & Bass.
With (forthcoming) releases on labels like, Lifted Music, BSE, Viper, Bad Taste, SOM Music, C4C, Eatbrain, Red Light and Trust In Music the German duo entered the world wide Drum & Bass scene over the last two years. So watch out for more dancefloor pressure in the upcoming months. We are very excited about what we are going to hear.
New Signing: Mefjus
We are proud to announce another new signing to the Reprise Publishing roster – Mefjus
Mefjus is one of the latest big talents to emerge from the Austrian drum and bass scene. His furious productions and collaborations speak for themselves and can be found in most of the neurofunk mixes out there right now.
Coming from a Hip Hop background and being familiar with outboard equipment, Mefjus entered production early on. Today most of it happens inside the computer but to give the huge sounds some extra spice.
Mefjus looks beyond boundaries and feels just as comfortable in the world of downtempo, dubstep and other electronica.
With lots of great releases that he already had on Bad Taste, Disturbed, Trust in Music, Citrus, Tilt, Mindtech, Ammunition Recordings and just as many bangers forthcoming, the future looks very bright for Mefjus.

New Release: Thefft ‘Distronet EP’
The Distronet EP is to be the second record released on the Damu/Rogerson curated imprint, Fulcrum Records, following the stripped-back UK dancefloor grit of Paleman’s inaugural EP.
It takes an extraordinary talent to take the history of House and Techno and restructure it to the point of satire, but there’s something undeniably fun about the prickly broken beats that makes Thefft’s music so distinctive.
Thefft gets consistent support from Loefah and Disclosure he was also selected by Mary-Anne Hobbs to play on her XFM stage at the Camden Crawl in London.
This 4 track EP marks the start of the next chapter for this consistently baffling and exciting young producer. Catch him bringing sound systems to life over the autumn with members of the Fulcrum Records family.

New Signing: Jett
We are proud to announce another new signing to the Reprise Publishing roster – Jett
Jett (real name Jett Glozier) is an East London based Producer and DJ. His debut release “I Know I Want You” came out in July 2012 on Jaymo & Andy George’s Moda Black imprint, it went straight into the Beatport House sales chart and attracted attention from respected DJs across the scene.
Following the release, Jett was approached by a number of labels looking for remixes including Fatboy Slim’s Southern Fried Records; these remixes are set for release in late 2012.
Drawing influences from many aspects of House, Techno & Garage, Jett’s sound is incumbent but not exclusive to these styles. His focus is usually the Dance floor… hooky leads, looping vocals and a healthy abundance of low end are defining features of his signature sound.
Although very early in his production career, his music has received support from Sinden, Mary Anne Hobbs, Waifs & Strays, Zombie Disco Squad and many others from the Underground house scene.
More recently Jett’s DJ mixes have been described as eclectic, mixing the old with the new and demonstrating his wide influences of Electronic Music, whilst always being a platform to showcase new or forthcoming material.
Whether in the studio, at club nights or lost in record shops, Jett’s passion to create and discover new music is never ending. With further remixes and original tracks all expected in the near future, Jett is a name to watch.
