Top Bristol, England, drum & bass producer Roni Size's group, Reprazent, is finishing its upcoming second album, which will feature guest appearances by Rage Against The Machine vocalist Zach De La Rocha, Method Man, and Rahzel of The Roots.

The untitled album will be released in October, according to a spokesperson for Island Records, the group's U.S. label.

Roni Size & Reprazent, which includes Krust, Suv, Die, and vocalist Onallee, released the acclaimed drum & bass album "New Forms" in 1997. The LP's innovative mix of live instrumentation and electronic programming made it a landmark in the genre.

The new record also will feature live instruments, the spokesperson said, and the group is planning to tour in support of the release.

The band will head to Los Angeles in the next two weeks to shoot the video for the new album's first single, "Who Told You" (featuring vocals by Dynamite MC), with director Hype Williams.

Roni Size & Reprazent will perform August 15 at Central Park SummerStage in New York.
