about

Santoku has taken pride of place amongst America’s roster of drum & bass labels, not only making their place within the US market, but also throughout Europe. They’ve released a host of artists who help bridge the gap between the US and UK scenes, which has enabled Santoku to remain in its place for these crossover acts. One such act is Mean Teeth, a duo who met through their shared love of drum & bass but who are split across Estonia and Lithuania. They have always focused on the dark, diverse and memorable tracks, heavily emphasized by their funk. This is something which can be heard throughout their ‘Leviathan’ EP, released through Santoku in 2016. It set the pair apart from many producers amongst their ranks and debuted a stellar package which pushed Mean Teeth into the agenda.

Logam, Santoku’s label head and a veteran producer, has selected several artists to have their take on Mean Teeth’s creation. The ‘Leviathan Remixes’ features Nickbee, Vowel, Paradigitz, A-Cray and an exclusive rework of ‘Leviathan’ from Mean Teeth themselves. It covers the reach which Santoku have at their fingertips, something keenly demonstrated throughout their forthcoming reworks EP.

NickBee’s version of ‘Leviathan’ has thumping bass rhythms and is domineering through its searing drums. Vowel comes next, taking ‘Leviathan’ through his own motions, alongside clashing percussive patches. Paradigitz, the nineteen-year-old beatsmith, has his turn on ‘Leviathan’ and it’s just as chaotic, yet through its own weighty pads. Then A-Cray delivers ‘Leviathan’ by twisting it into his own mold, one expertly defined through each jaunty segment. The remastered version of ‘Leviathan’ takes you down a path which is somehow even more immersive than the original and Mean Teeth makes an explosive appearance through putting ‘Leviathan’ against a more contemporary set up. New life is blown into the ‘Leviathan’ EP, almost three years on from its original inception. Mean Teeth are now at the apex of their game, with the ‘Leviathan EP’ providing the first step towards what would become the explosive career they have today. Santoku are here to remind you of their initial climb and how far they’ve come as producers.
