Level 2 - Downtime
Release Date: 22/11/2024
Label: V Recordings
After tearing up the stage at Sun&Bass in Sardinia, Brazilian drum & bass heavyweight Level 2 drops Downtime—a track that strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and evolution. With his signature rolling basslines and a funk-fuelled groove, Level 2 reminds us why he's been a staple on V Recordings since his debut in 2009. He's got the pedigree, and this tune is a testament to his staying power.
Downtime rolls deep, pulling you in with atmospheric warmth and a hypnotic beat that feels like a fresh throwback to the classic V sound. There's a smoothness in the flow, but it's not without bite. Pedro Lima, the man behind Level 2, knows how to command attention with subtlety. The bassline is lush, the percussion tight, and that Bristol-inspired vibe is all over this one—raw yet refined.
As he gears up for a return to the UK to play the legendary Fabric, Downtime feels like a prelude to something bigger. Level 2's roots run deep, and this release sees him levelling up again—drawing on years of experience but always keeping it forward-thinking. This is how you do drum & bass with finesse.
