[SBOYLP002]
Breakage : Foundation
LP : Digital Soundboy : 2x12"
Breakage aka James Boyle is never been one to be pigeonholed.
Moving effortlessly through styles from drum and bass to dubstep, Breakage has
proved himself to be one of the most versatile operators in either scene to
date. A prodigious talent, he already has a number of classic releases under
his belt but continues to develop his sound. Combining rich tones and a sense
of spaciousness in the mix, Breakage's music is both subtle yet devastatingly
effective. His debut album, 2006's 'This Too Shall Pass' gained wide spread
critical acclaim and included some slower tempo material, hinting at what was
to come. * James signed with Shy FX's
mighty Digital Soundboy imprint in 2007, and soon turned heads with the
haunting half-time beats of 'Clarendon b/w Shroud'. It came as no surprise that
he would make waves in the dubstep community with his next release, 'Callahan
b/w Untitled', after having remixed one of the scene's biggest tracks to date,
Benga & Coki's 'Night', alongside Shy FX as Digital Soundboy. 2009 has seen
Breakage cemented himself as 'one to watchʼ across the British dance music
press and taste-making elite. Previous releases were named by Zane Lowe as his
‘Hottest Record In The World’ on his Radio 1 show. * Following on from the superb 'Together',
Breakage released ‘Run Em Oʼft. Roots Manuva b/w 'Higherʼin October
2009 to massive critical acclaim. Then came 'Hard' feat. Newham Generals and
David Rodigan in early Dec, which exploded across the clubs and national
airwaves, becoming unquestionably one of the biggest underground releases of
2009. * RADIO PLAY: Radio 1, 1Xtra,
Galaxy and Kiss FM from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, Giles
Peterson, Ras Kwame, Toddla T, Mary Anne Hobbs, Mista Jam, Redlight, Sinden, DJ
MK and many more. * Now comes the highly
anticipated sophomore LP 'Foundationʼ on Digital Soundboy. Features on the
record come courtesy of Burial, Roots Manuva, David Rodigan, Newham Generals,
Kemo, Zarif, Erin and more. Expect bass heavy quality music with a broad
appeal. * The new single ‘Speechless’
featuring Donaeo has already been described as a ground-breaking record,
marrying dubstep and indie with emotive R&B vocals. With a European tour
under way, plus remix & production credits for Massive Attack, Florence
& The Machine, David Guetta, Virgin Records, Aswad, Sidney Sampson, and
many more all forthcoming, Breakage has laid the foundation. Now he’s ready to
blow... [3/15/2010]

[EXIT020]
System : Peach Fuzz :
Exit : 12"
Mark System is by no means a newcomer to the music world
having been performing as an MC and producing music for labels such as Digital
Soundboy and Shogun Audio amongst others for over a decade. His debut on Exit
Records consists of two tracks which underline his production skills and
originality in sound design and arrangement. On the A-Side we have “Peach
Fuzz”. A track created and named by System after attending and gaining
inspiration from Carl Cox’s closing party at Space. He claims that Danny
Tenaglia’s set stimulated him to think about new ways of approaching tracks.
“Peach Fuzz“ was the result and what a result it was. This track oozes
originality and is a pearl in the boxes of many top DJs at the moment such as
dBridge, Instra:mental, Ed Rush, Commix, Friction etc. On the B-side we have
“Voices” from System, which is an elaborate workout of glitchy beats, choppy
break edits and curious melodies. This track is far from formulaic, having been
started as an experiment to vent creative juices with no intention of it
leaving his computer, were glad it did! [3/15/2010]

V/A : New Blood 010 :
Med School : 2x12"
3.5/5 in DJ mag 'Joe Syntax, Stray, Pryzma and Electrolight
all make a strong name for themselves' *
Med School storms into a new decade and continues to push exhilarating
up-and-coming artists with some of the freshest drum+bass rhythms you are
likely to hear. ‘New Blood 010’ is an invigorating selection of finge-the-pulse
boundary-pushing electronic music where only the top sonic surgeons make the
grade. Delivered on two piece vinyl and CD, this is essential listening! * This stunning album exudes a healthy dose of
diverse sounds yet maintains a high level of consistency from start to finish.
From the atmospheric depths of Synkro and Kharm right through to Enei’s
damaging bass oscillation and the twisted dynamics of Royalston. Stripped-down
dancefloor vibes provided by Electrolyte, DJ Madd, Derrick, Tonika and Implex
are perfectly balanced by elegant and forward-thinking creations from Circa,
Pryzma, So:Flow and Joe Syntax. There’s also a remix first for Med School as
super cool producer Stray stamps his authority on the Boston-based
ambient/electronica outfit Helios. Having scoured the planet for the hottest
talent, Med School delivers music from all corners of the globe… from London to
Australia, Romania to Cornwall, Russia to Manchester, Germany to Belarus and
Ukraine to Sheffield. * These young
practitioners have checked your vital signs and are ready to deliver the next
prognosis with an array of scalpel-sharp sounds and rhythmical remedies. Keep
ears and eyes peeled for these producers in 2010 and beyond! [3/15/2010]

Cause 4 Concern :
Something Else (Break Remix) / Sensor (N.Phect Remix) : C4C Recordings :
12"
SOMETHING ELSE / SENSOR – BREAK REMIX. Already established
and exemplary in the tricky art of tune fusion, here badman Break takes two of
C4C’s older numbers to create a monstrous slice of music: he’s lifted the best
parts from both tracks and beefed it all up with some Break style biz,
resulting in a relentless roller that drops twice to hit you hard in all the
right places. SOUL – N.PHECT REMIX There’s no doubt that halfstep tunes are hot
right now, but most of them are original compositions, not remixes. Here
N.Phect reinterprets Soul and strips it of its speed and intensity, but not its
substance. Now it has a brand new attitude and tempo, while that unmistakable
C4C funk is retained and keeps things recognisable. Future Funk. [2/15/2010] [3/15/2010]

Phace &
Misanthrop : From Deep Space LP : Neosignal : 5x12"
More than a year in the making ‘From Deep Space’ brings
together two of the leading lights of the European drum & bass scene with
Phace ready to build on the success of their 2007 debut album ‘Psycho’ and
Misanthrop ready to stamp his mark with what is undoubtedly both artists’ best
work to date. Distinct, cutting-edge, deep-impact drum & bass full to the
brim of mind-bending bass and sci-fi soundscapes that’s destined to blow away
both home listeners and global dance floors alike. “These guys are pushing the
boundaries once again with this LP, people take note! Always got some Phace
& Misanthrop in my record box, German engineering at its best.” Friction
“Drum & bass has always been at the forefront of sonic innovation in dance
music, Phace and Misanthrop are currently on the frontline. An essential album
not to be missed.” DJ Fresh ‘From Deep Space’ presents a full-force journey
through state-of-the-art broken beats and sonic wizardry that will have the
most ardent of tech-specialists nodding their heads in appreciation. From the
downbeat excursions of the opening track ‘Channel Feel’ and the electro workout
‘Generation For Sale’ to the tear-out D&B of ‘You Keep On Talking’ Phace
& Misanthrop demonstrate the utmost precision creating devastating beats
and yet retaining a definite sense of space in theirarrangements that keeps things
fresh and unsparingly satisfying. On hearing tracks such as ‘Non Human’ and
‘Interplay’ it’snot hard to see why Phace & Misanthrop are regularly
featured in DJ sets of Andy C, Noisia, Friction, Ed Rush and Optical right the
way through to the likes of Alix Perez and D Bridge. “If you're anywhere near
interested in drum & bass and the exploration of sonic logic and depth you
cannot miss this album. Nobody goes where Phace and Misanthrop go.“ Noisia 1A

thinking attitude of Drum & Bass music. His productions are currently being

Code 3 : Living Proof
/ Response Call : Exit : 12"
Finish copy. Living Proof sees Code 3 come with their next
eagerly awaited lesson in subtle dance floor devastation. A paranoia inducing
soundscape sets the scene, combining with an ever-building groove that takes
the listener further into the depths with each ugly turn. Dropping with a wall
of sub bass, it’s clear why this tune is also known as the 'rig tester'. Choice
effects, distorted fizz and hits bounce off one another giving the track an
irresistible groove and a real heads down feel. The sub bass assault is
unrelenting and demands the listeners undivided attention. Hurting the clubs
worldwide and included by dBridge & Instra:mental in their Fabric Live 50
mix CD, Living Proof is a tune you need in your box right now. From the off the
organic and springy Bristol inspired drums reveal that this track is poised to
be a heavyweight roller, perfect to kick off any set. The sub creeps in almost
immediately and the intention is clear, this one’s made for skanking. A
constantly evolving and morphing bass line layered upon funky edits and retro
sound effects will have people moving throughout. Response Call completes
another must have record from Code 3, ones to watch very closely this year. [3/15/2010]

FD / Hydro & Keza
: Canopy : Critical Music : 12"
New blood alert! Bringing through yet more untapped talent is
the people’s choice, Critical Music, who bring us the debut release from a trio
of boxfresh producers that’s already been doing damage with those lucky enough
to have it. With FD being one of the brains behind possibly the most
forward-thinking drum and bass event in London, Medium, you know before
listening the force is strong on this one. Beautifully breezy pads open up
‘Canopy’ and a straight down the line break gets things moving nicely as added
percussion seaps in along the way before the drop. Out go the pads and in comes
a refreshingly spacious arrangement of percussive FX and thumping deep subs
perfect for those dark late-night dance floors. Wait for the sumptuous
atmospherics to return and you can’t help but be swept away by the groove as it
carries us all the way to the end. A bit special. Then on to ‘Remorse’ and the
guys spook things out a little with a ghostly whispered samples and an
off-kilter break rolling under paranoid synth stabs and pads. As more booming
subs kick in the pace picks up with shuffling snares and heavily filtered
sonics that fill the speakers to drive it forward hard, while still retaining a
huge sense of space that’ll see this in the DJ boxes at the deeper end of the
spectrum.

Introducing the new label ‘Footprints’ from Zero Tolerance
set to launch in the next few months. Two big first releases to showcase, audio
can be found below, first, over to Zero T to introduce the label….. We at
FOOTPRINTS are setting our stall out to provide something we feel has been
missing from the zeitgeist for too long now…. That something is “90’s
Music”…..yes folks, its been 10 years since the 90s and we for one miss it more
than ever. It was a time when music metamorphasized into so many wonderful,
radical, heartfelt and completely new forms. Unfortunately, life and culture
moves in cycles and i think we can all agree that the “noughties” was a largely
forgettable era for ALOT of reasons. The complete dominance of consumerism in
our world has , combined with the Net 2.0 revolution, sucked much the life out
of this thing we call music. But every action has an equal and opposite
reaction, and if Rage Against The Machine making the UK Christmas No.1 in 2009
is a signal of the backlash, the we at FOOTPRINTS hope to assist this return to
an older Ethic: Motivated from the Heart , not the Wallet. So, in this new
Decade we aim to regularly provide you with music made for your mind AND body,
that will shake any building to its foundations but still stand alone as a
piece of music, taking you to another place, time or mood when heard in its
entirety.

Artificial
Intelligence : Threes A Crowd (ft. D Bridge)/ Blind Eye (ft. DRS) : V Records :
12"
White label. AI are credited for pioneering a new sound with
their first releases, a subtle mixture of precisely crafted grooves underpinned
by dancefloor-friendly sub bass and solid beats that flows effortlessly in sets
of DJs as varied as Fabio, Hype and Andy C. For this single they are joined by
like-minded artist D Bridge, both as co-producer and vocalist , for an
exquisite slice of perfectly balanced drum and bass. Deep, bass driven melody,
sweeping strings, haunting vocals, gorgeous synth touches give ‘Three’s A
Crowd’ an opulent yet eerie feel. The uplifting ‘Blind Eye’, featuring vocals
by DRS, is another classic AI cut: a smooth yet deep groove punctuated by crisp
breaks, string stabs and infectious keys. [3/15/2010]

unlike any d&b tune you've heard in last 5 years. Cranking up the good-time gospel vibes with
live claps and the kind of infectious piano riff that will have revellers
dancing in the aisles, this is a good-time dancefloor bomb guaranteed to start
the party. And if that wasn't enough, Phetsta takes the track into even headier
heights with his hi-octane remix, the house heads are well catered for with the
bumping four-to-the-floor re-rub and Derby's finest also provide a dubstep
reworking that takes the original's happy clappy approach, and throws straight
into the gutter.

June Miller : Nine /
Drowning Man : Inside : 12"
Not a white label. June Miller follow up the much lauded
"Converge/Neurosis" release on Horizons with a much anticipated
follow up 12". This 12" is featured on the Horizons sister label
Inside, a label not worried about releasing challenging music. This 12"
definitely goes against the grain, from the quirky 'Nine', to the dubstep tune
"Drowning man." Interesting listening, quality artwork, completes

Mizz Beats : My World
: Deep Medi Musik : 12"
Set to shine in 2010, Mizz Beats is the 22 year-old from
Hackney (East London) who aided and abetted labelmate Silkie in the creation of
one of this year’s certified bangers: ‘Purple Love’. Earning her stripes in the
midst of the UK’s grime scene, she has already produced for the likes of Dizzee
Rascal, Jammer and Lady Sovereign and she is undoubtedly one of the Anti Social
Entertainment clique’s brightest prospects alongside Quest, Silkie, Kromestar,
J5, Harry Craze and Heny G. Mizzy’s debut 12” on DEEP MEDi Musik showcases both
her versatility and a lightness of touch that belies her years. ‘My World’
marries sloping half-step drums, offhand tom rolls and cleverly constructed
synth work, conjuring a wickedly melodious groove. On the flip, ‘The Jester’ zips
off in a different direction, carried by tougher, stripped-back drums and
myriad 8-bit Gameboy bleeps, zaps and bumps. An altogether clubbier affair, but
no less sophisticated, fans of Gemmy and Joker will undoubtedly approve. [3/15/2010]

Dubstep since the birth of this new scene, this CD looks set to cement them
into their righteous place at the top of the pile! The man like Wiley needs no
introduction at all having had number one hits here in the UK and enjoying
worldwide success. Kromestar has enjoyed a much deserved “reign of terror” over
the last year also with his album My Sound being lauded as one of the top
artist albums of the year. Hatcha is another one who needs no introduction with
his weekly Kiss 100 FM Dubstep show his
is one of the stalwarts of the scene and speaking of stalwarts the man like
N-Type has to be one of the biggest Dubstep Dj’s here in the UK at the
moment. 16 Bit are on the disc with
their track Cobra and as mentioned above their track Jump features on the latest
Nike advert!!! Obviously one of the biggest names on there is Skream who has
helped shape the Dubstep sound as we know it today and with Plastician on there

Reso : Reso In Da Mix
: Z Audio : CD
After the runaway success of the first “In Da Mix” CD from
Bar 9 the second instalment is here and is mixed by none other than Reso!!! Reso In Da Mix is a journey into the heart of
Dubstep with tracks from Riskotheque, Bar 9, Bare Noize, Proper Tingz, Mike
Lennon, 501, Rob Sparx, Reso & ID, Hektagon, Synkro, Soul Sinners, L.O.W,
F-One, Mode, Nero, Numbernin6, Vivek and TRG.Grotty, liquid, dark, brutal and
lush are all words used to describe the music of 25 year-old Reso, such a
contrasting set of adjectives are hard to understand but after a listen to a
few of his productions, you begin to understand why. A drummer at heart, these
natural patterns of “skin hitting” are engrained within his brain and shine
through on his digital programming and productions. Reso’s aural identity is a
densely layered, high octane tapestry, rich with musical texture and colour,
which really sets him apart from the minimal sparseness of many of his fellow
producers. Mary Anne Hobbs has been a fervent supporter of the young producer,
commissioning a special 20-minute mix for her Radio One Breezeblock show back
in January 2007. Reso is certainly one of the most technically gifted producers
to have sprouted from the dubstep scene and is fast gaining recognition from
the techno, glitch and breaks scene for his own twisted take on the dubstep/
130bpm-140bpm sound. Recently Reso’s remix of Buraka Som Sistema and Rob Sparx
2 Faced Rasta song (which have both been featured on the Fabriclive 42: freq
nasty cd) alongside Reso’s own production “if ya cant beat em” have been
gathering strong support from some of Dubstep’s key players such as Benga,
N-Type and Rusko. He has also worked with the enigmatic producer Burial,
engineering his critically acclaimed remix of Jamie Woon’s Wayfaring Stranger.
With a busy DJ schedule, Reso has been up and down the country smashing dance
floors from Newcastle to Nottingham and London, whilst regularly hitting
mainland Europe. With a number of key releases on Storming Productions,
Destructive and Urban Graffiti Reso has now become part of the Civil family and
is currently writing his album for release in 2009. Reso is the soundtrack to a
robot genocide

DVA : Natty :
HyperDub : 12"
Rinse FM’s breakfast show host, DVA is a producer with a
unique take on the UK Funky bug, blending the stiff 8-bar funk of grime with a
super-supple rhythmic sensibility, sewing neon colours with a laid back
precision into his tracks. 'Natty' is a prime example; drums stagger like
they’re about to topple over, squelchy bass synths lock together a tough tribal
drum pattern, liquid metal trickles around in the mix, and these contrasting
elements react with explosive results on the dancefloor. On 'Ganja', a
cartoonish ring-tonefriendly synth melody worms its way around tight soca-esque
drums and housey organ stabs. Factor in the depth-charge 808 subs, steel drums
and sparingly used ragga chat and you've got a technicolour Hyperdub debut
fresh for 2010.

Ghettozoid [Blue
Daisy Rmx] : Seeking feat Yolanda : One4Ho : 12"
Finish copy. The label is called ‘One4Ho’. The origins of
it’s name came from a seminal summer in Berlin, where Sophie Ruston
(Ghettozoid) and Mai Harper (label founders) first laid eyes on each other. The
name One4Ho incorporates Ghettozoid’s obsession with Miami Bass. Essentially we
are ladies that love the 140tempo. IDJ mag review: Bristol resident Ghettozoid
brings in fêted vocalist Yolanda to help launch her One 4 Ho imprint. Moody
washes of midrange synth provide an ample background for Yolanda's stunning
vocal spiritual, clockwork garage breaks and thunderous bass thrum adding a
dash of urgency to the mix. Crackle house specialist Blue Daisy turns in a sick
remix on the flip, dubbing the track hard as he stretches the samples tautly
across his canvas - ambient vocal excursions eventually joined by a burrowing
acid bassline and Daisy's trademark squeezed beats. a Ghettozoid - Seeking feat

MRK1 : The
Electrician : Contagious Music : 12"
Smothered in trademark atmospheric stealth and slither, Move
Your Soul has MRK1 making fanfares for imperial squadrons, and intercepting
vintage female dance vocals in a hostage situation as he darts in and out of
another of his chrome mazes. Remember when Peter Griffin from Family Guy is
granted the wish of having his own theme music wherever he goes? MRK1 can
conceivably pop round the newsagents to the sound of ominous intergalactic
friction. Taken from the forthcoming potential lipsmacker Sound of Contagious
album out soon, it stands in the gap between dubstep and electronica at its
surliest, moving to an easy-to-follow path so that the mass of the situation
becomes hard to take on the chin. In other words, it may move freely, but it
still casts a serious shadow. Another album preview is The Electrician, which
takes the rewiring of plugs to industrially draconian lengths. Synths are
programmed to kick you both in the guts and your fillings as MRK1 walks the
plank of spinning blades with a crystal finish, operated by a black-hearted
Speak n Spell. Dubstep’s jackhammer blur of beats are dodged for a firm putting
down of his foot while making the traditional aspect of dub stand out. It’s the
sound of an extreme version of LaserQuest: complete with pinging crossfire
across the bass wastelands, the power-packs are taking the weight of a real
ready-to-go arsenal

Akira Kiteshi : Ming
The Merciless / ION-BRU : Special Branch : 12"
White label. Ming The Merciless – Possibly the Scottish highlander’s
most brutal transmission to date, Ming opens with Manga dialogue mixed and
mashed with durable bass-tones and grinding mid range. However… do not be
fixated just on the light speed neon-clad dynamics because hidden within this 5
minutes drum break of chaos lies some serious cutnpaste edit skills. Often
confused with tear-out Dubstep AK is keen to define his sound as “Skag Den
Breakcore” or “Very Unhappy Hardcore”. Drop this and introduce some Darwinism
to the dance. ION-BRU – Again AK’s itchy feet go on a genre wander splicing

with high-tension strings and taut drums that set you up for one almighty drop
- a Triple-Changer Transformer bassline, first searing midrange, then sick
wobbles, then yawning grumble-bass. 501 even hooked up a heart monitor to check
you're still alive! 'Downplay' on the flip is even more direct, growling
metallic bass and synth-tech action snarling away over tuff breaks, interlaced
with pounding 808s and offbeat cowbells. [3/15/2010]

Sami Sanchez : Dirty Trumpet : BM Funky : 12"
It was not the hand of chance which secured Sami Sanchez’s
place in today’s DJs and producers arena as one of the freshest, most promising
up-and-coming names. Sanchez got his first gig at a street party in Cuba.
Playing a mixture of Reggaeton, hip hop, Garage and Ragga, he knew right there
and then his future was in music. Whilst at University, studying a degree in
Sound Engineering, Sami Sanchez starting working at the cult-status record
store Black Market Records (currently BM Soho). Sami soon started extending his
musical expertise to DnB, US house and the then-newly developed Dubstep and UK
Funky. Combining his urban musical expertise and his Latin roots influences,
Sami quickly progressed and started playing at top Latin club nights. He
imminently became a favourite on the Urban Latin scene, playing alongside DJs
such as Tony Touch, DJ Nelson, DJ Buddha, Don Omar, Tego Calderon, Andy Boy and
Khrisy Angel. It was in 2009 when Sami suffered an acute brain injury, but
through sheer determination and strong will to live, he is continuing to follow
his dream. Only eight months later, we are proud to announce Sami Sanchez’s
first official UK Funky release, ‘Dirty Salsa’ & ‘Dirty Trumpet’. Supported
by Worldclass Management & BM Soho, the double A-side 12” is already
causing a stir on the dancefloor. The dramatic, catchy ‘Dirty Trumpet’ and the
hit-sy ‘Dirty Salsa’ are no doubt building Sami Sanchez’s reputation as one of
the UK’s finest UK Funky producers. With a string of releases to come, a huge
following of music loving fans - and with Sami’s determination to make it to
recovery - we are pleased to welcome back the people’s DJ and the phenomenal
cross-genre producer that is Sami Sanchez. [3/15/2010]

Jakes / Mensah :
Rhythm / Pulse 80's : Hench : 12"
The explosion of dubstep in the UK (and Bristol in
particular) has dictated that the standard of production and new ideas is
fiercely competed. Nevertheless, HENCH is one label that remains at the
forefront of this ever-expanding scene. The 13th release from the imprint
presents an outstanding 12” comprising of ‘Rhythm’ from label boss, Jakes,
along with the debut release from Bristol’s rapidly rising star, Mensah. These
tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The
compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from
Papa ‘ench himself. The release will contain new exclusive tracks from Komonazmuk,
Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform for debut
releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah. A. JAKES - RHYTHM is the
name, and you can bet your bottom dollar that this tune has it. Immediately
setting the step, a background siren gives the warning for what’s about to
follow. With Jakes’ vocal defining the riff of the track, get ready for a
bassline that’s best described as ‘underwater funk’. This tune’s had a lot of
love from all the right people, and it’s not hard to see why – with Jakes’
innovative flavour stamped all over it - Rhythm truly stands out in the crowd.
AA. MENSAH - PULSE 80’s - Flip over for the bass-led rhythm of ‘Pulse 80’s’.
Building the intro with a glitchy lead-synth and punchy kick-drum, nothing detracts
from the simple yet effective pulse of the beat. When the bass drops, expect
the dancefloor to be bouncing up and down in time. Showcasing Mensah’s diverse
influences, this is just one example of the various different styles of dubstep
productions he’s producing right now. Watch out for further releases on HENCH
from this young-one, we are tipping Mensah for big things. [3/15/2010]

: Broken String / You Fo : Hench : 12"
For the HENCH camp, this is one very exciting release.
Featuring the debut release on the label from Croydon producers, Tek-One, and yet
another stunner from HENCH favourite, Komonazmuk. Both tracks exemplify what
this label has become renowned for - bass-heavy, forward-thinking dubstep
pressure – and it also happens that both tracks are absolutely killer! These
tracks both feature on the HENCH Mixtape Vol. 1 (soon to be released). The
compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature unreleased tracks from
Papa ‘ench himself. The release will also contain new exclusive tracks from
Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, as well as providing a platform
for debut releases on the label from Minus, Tek-one and Mensah. A. TEK-ONE -
BROKEN STRING This is one standout tune, recognisable from the off. A haunting
synth with the kind of vocal rare in dubstep productions, brings you in gently
to the drop. From there its all change – the drum roll makes way for a
mechanical and glitchy bass riff that’s going to have people running for cover.
With the occasional vocal stab, Tek-One’s effort is an outstandingly
paradoxical release – both beautifully atmospheric and dancefloor-destroying at
the same time. Having already remixed Way out West and Fugative, Tek-One are
one’s to watch

Furesshu : Untitled : Project Squared : 12"
This 12" picks up where Furesshu’s digital releases at a
dubstep tempo on Echodub left off but also pushes into the deep, Berlin
inspired techno sound that he is presently concentrating on. 1993 sounds fast
for its mid 130s tempo, the bass drives the trackís pace and the delay affected
stabs provide just enough melody. Horizons feels slower, you could perhaps
describe it as a half step track although it twists up the formula for that sub
genre. The bass evolves and changes throughout the track, rising and falling,
coupled with drones and drums punctuating the track rather than providing a
constant element. Untitled marks a change in Furesshuís sound. 4/4 deep techno;
11 minutes of gradual, constant evolution in the melodic parts of the track but
the driving, perfectly toned kick drum and hi hats holding the groove in place. [3/15/2010]

4Kuba : Dildoes /
Combination : Ibreaks Bass : 12"
Belarussia's 4Kuba return for the third instalment of their storming
Burning Cactus EP and the ninth release on iBreaks Bass, the imprint which
showcases the harder side of the world's largest group of breakbeat labels. We
reckon it's the tastiest of the series so far.
Coming on like the kind of beats you might hear dropped on the
soundtrack to a Blade movie, "Dildoes" throws a massive electro rave
riff over 4Kuba's trademark rock-flavoured drums for a slab of essential wax
that will embed itself in your cerebellum. This one is guaranteed to top all
the breaks charts going. On the flip,
"Combination" goes with a tough yet unorthodox approach that will be
lapped up by fans of the duo. 4Kuba have the potential to be a Prodigy. [3/15/2010]

Lee Coombs : Light
& Dark : Lot 49 : CD
Lee Coombs is a man who needs little introduction, a constant
name and face on the dance music landscape since the mid-1990s he has played a
major part in charting the ever changing course of electronic music. Now he
gives us an insight into his sound of 2009 with this his latest opus in the
form of third artist album 'Light and Dark'. Coombs musical history can't
easily be scribed in a few lines; his journey as a DJ stretches back to the
late 80s and the early days of acid house, his recording career encompasses his
work for classic imprint Finger Lickin Records as well as Adrift and Lot49, not
to mention of course his own Thrust Recordings which he ran for nearly a
decade. He has put his name to mix compilations for the likes of Paul
Oakenfold's Perfecto and remixed the likes of Moby, New Order, Lamb and Planet
Funk. Coombs has travelled the world in the pursuit of his passion for music
and has never the lost the enthusiasm for making great records and tearing up
dancefloors. 'Light and Dark' is in
Coombs own words "a true tech funk album", an amalgam of sounds and
influences from dance music's often disparate scenes. Alongside acts like Meat
Katie, Dylan Rhymes and Elite Force,
Coombs has pioneered this open
minded attitude and helped forge the
sound of 'tech funk', a fusion of techno, breaks, house and electro. On this
long player Coombs takes the tech funk spirit and deve ops it to the n'th
degree, it is a true melting pot of influences, from the opening bars of the
Diva driven Control with the wonderful Katherine Ellis to the final refrain of
the heavily Echo & the Bunnymen inspired 'Blues I'm Singing'.
Collaborations with the highly talented and spiritually inspired Seasunz rub
shoulders with the massive Uberzone joint production 'Right Now' whilst the
siren drenched sounds of 'Detox' and the squelching warehouse intensity of
'Moog Acid' all add up to make this a pretty special album indeed. [10/19/2009]

Rockwell : Noir EP :
Critical Music : 12"
Rockwell is a name on everyone’s lips. As if from nowhere
he’s managed to get the whole drum & bass scene and more talking about him
earning support from such luminaries as Fabio and Gilles Peterson. The ‘Noir
EP’ comes not a moment too soon, a release to truly mark his arrival in
electronic music and which looks set to turn even more heads. From the sheer
sonic brilliance of the film score-inspired title track ‘Noir’ through to the
skeletal break and sparse tendancies of the final ‘Tribe’, Rockwell is
unfearing in his quest for dark, brooding experimentation that hasn’t been
heard in years in drum & bass. An ambition to re-definine the term deep
shines though on ‘Stay Calm’, a track that refreshes with glitchy FX,
industrial pads and grounding bass that strikes the fear whilst the
collaboration with Zero T ‘Bone Structure’ continues the theme with astounding
results. Make no mistake people will double-take on this one. An extraordinary
EP that will appeal to lovers of both electronica and pure drum & bass
alike. Just add an arm-chair and headphones for maximum satisfaction. a

V/A : Evolution
Series Vol. 1 : Shogun Audio : 2x12"
Hitting the switch on disc one is the mighty Spectrasoul boys
who are drawn in to remix the classic ‘Overtime’ by label-mates Friction &
K-Tee. Sprinkling their magic dust over it the duo come up trumps with a
sumptuous subtle re-working with added piano and all-round lighter vibes but
with that all-important drifting vocal refrain thankfully still intact. A very
tidy update indeed. Flip over for a very different kind of track from Germany’s
biggest D&B producers, Phace. ‘Strange Science’ is a prime example of their
trademark neurofunk sound. Raw, industrial percussion combines with running
breaks, space-age synths and an absolute smacker of a bassline to get things
pumping! Spectrasoul then return on the
C-side with the beautiful ‘Bygones’. A DJ-friendly intro paves the way to a
lush drop of warm bass and a melancholic vocal that falls out soon after to
make way for some sick bass edits. Wait for the breakdown and the return of the
vocal and there’s no doubting this to be a truly classy slice of music. It’s
left to Icicle to finish us off in typically fine form with ‘Minimal Funk’.
Opting for a more leftfield percussive arrangement, heavy kicks and some
growling undertones this one’ll make you wince! One for the headz, one for the
Shogun Audio soldiers. * TRACKLIST: A)

Abstract Elements :
Wrong Way / Abysmal Depth : Exit : 12"
The first release for 2010 on Exit records comes in the form
of two tracks by Russian newcomers Abstract Elements, made up of two producers
Bop and Diagram. Their tracks caught the attention of label owner dBridge with
their seemingly fearless quest for experimentation and have featured heavily in
the sets of DJs such as dBridge, Instra:mental, Loxy, ASC and also on the
Autonomic podcasts. Both tracks sit just as comfortably at clubs such as FWD as
they do in an all out DnB party. “Wrong Way” takes us into a void of sound and
space, built around a metronomic radar blip, the track sinks down deep through
the uncharted depths of the subsonic bass realms. Attention to detail,
intricate use of atmospheric sound effects and devastating low end bass give
this track a unique sensation which just cannot be ignored. Repeated listening
is required to fully explore the vast soundscape that they have created here.
“Abysmal Depth” could be described as a distorted fusion of dub and electronica
but also delves into the 4x4 genre. Once again, their use of constantly
transforming effects and mood altering atmospherics give this track the quality
of being able to take the listener on a journey and leaves them with an awkward
sense of not knowing exactly where they’ve just been. Check out the Farbric
Live 50 -dBridge & Instra:mental present Autonomic CD to see just how
versatile this track be work in the mix. [3/8/2010]

(Original by Babyoil) / Cocoon : Full Force : 12"
Chook is that artist, and The Cocoon, Chook’s debut
long-playing project, moves beautifully through drum & bass, minimal techno
and stunning ambient soundscapes without pausing for breath. The Cocoon is the
culmination of half a decade’s worth of hard work. Starting out in 2004, Chook
launched Full Force Recordings as an output for the fierce and disturbing side
of European techno influenced drum & bass. The label garnered support right
from the off with DJs as diverse as Roni Size, J Majik and Calyx & Teebee
all queuing up to work Full Force’s releases into their sets. Chook, alongside
friends such as Germany’s Phace (Subtitles), New Zealand’s State of Mind
(Shogun Audio) and USA’s Mayhem (Ram Records) put the label firmly on the map
with tracks from some of the world’s finest breakbeat artists, keeping the
music policy as credible, long-lasting D&B. Now, five years since he
started Full Force, Chook delves deeper into his influences, spreading his
wings as a producer without resorting to cheap tricks and sheep-like trend
following. From the growling bass of Optimus Prime through to the inchperfect
elements of Time Running Backwards and the building, spacious progression of
Toontown, The Cocoon is a lesson in staying true to your beliefs and sticking
the middle finger to those who dare question your motives. Some might consider
that a lost art in drum & bass these days. a Chook - Demon Remix (Original

Since their inception on Moving Shadow, Gein has taken the
world by storm, spewing out a devastating arsenal of mind-bending,
eardrum-splitting chaos to be heard on the hardest, darkest drum & bass
labels the genre has to offer. Now back in the bunker, Gein prepares for the
release of their 2nd EP, THE CLERGY on GUERILLA RECORDINGS. Featuring a trio of
heart-stopping collaborations with NANOTEK, BREAKER and DIVERGE; as well as a
devastating remix of the Killwaukee trio's "Warden" (previously
released on GUERILLA 003) by the South African ALGORYTHM generals,
COUNTERSTRIKE, THE CLERGY is coming to recruit, and they'll intoxicate minds
and destroy brains by any means necessary. The title track, "THE
CLERGY" (featuring label owner, BREAKER and newcomer, DIVERGE) is a
cataclysm of raw, unrelenting energy. Forward-driven drums, mash-ups and
explosive bass run this track, exposing the world to the key elements that GEIN
is composed of. Highly anticipated "THE SERMON" finally sees the
light of day after being on dubplate for months on end. Brutal bass and bone
snapping drums roll on through before NANOTEK/GEIN collaboration THE MASTER
rolls on through and cuts through your cerebellum, causing an aneurysm. Old
school darkness and deviously clever drum edits smash the mirage of a good life
to pieces, proclaiming "A HORROR TO ALL MEN THAT SEEK FAITH." And as
this vicious four-tracker comes to an end, COUNTERSTRIKE provides excellent
remix quality on WARDEN. Think of it like taking your last breath... The final
nail in the coffin. WARDEN REMIX starts off with a crescendoing build followed
by militant tear-out drums and neck-snapping bass, that roll through like a bat
out of hell. Material support from Limewax, SPL, Dylan, Tech Itch, Evol Intent,

In drum and bass, things happen quickly. Overnight success

declared old news before they have even been released. But even by these
standards, IMT:LTD are making serious moves. With seven releases, including two

the unprecedented success of their digital venture with this, their first vinyl
release to date. This is a big moment for the label, and the pair of tracks
represented here are of the calibre we have come to expect from these guys. On 'Viral', Hobzee teams up with Zyon Base
for a chilled out roller that'll put the cones through their paces on even the
biggest systems. A twisted, growling melody and atmospheric background synths
fill the mix up nicely. Stepping with a
little more bounce on the B-side, Hobzee goes it alone with 'Nothing Else
Matters'. On a big, wobbly vibe that falls just the right side of silly, this
one is sure to bring the dancefloor up a notch when it drops. Those who go for

Joy Orbison : The

Joy Orbison has been celebrated for finding a sound that
marries elements of house, two-step, jungle, techno and dubstep. Alongside the
release of the gargantuan “Hyph Mngo” (released on Hot Flush in late 2009 and
has topped the end of year charts across the globe) and material on his own
imprint Doldrums, notorious mixes for Radio 1 have only served to cement Joy
Orbison’s renown. Both ‘The Shrew’ and ‘So Derobe’ pick up where ‘Hyph Mngo’
blasted off… devilishly catchy melodies and basslines, full of feeling and
soul, evolve and grow as the arrangement develops to leave you on an almighty
high. Big drops, super heavy drum programming and grooves that sound like only
Joy Orbison right now. There’s shades of garage, shades of funky, shades of old
school R&B. Pete wears his influences on his sleeve yet re-wraps them in
his own unmistakable and truly unique style. Actress’s Neu Haus refix is the
perfect foil for this package. A raw, almost unconstructed tool that in the
right hands will create huge tension on the floor. Actress, aka, Darren J.
Cunningham has in the last 5 years of running the Werk label set himself apart
as one of the hottest A&R scouts within his field, having discovered and
released some of the most widely talked about artists of the emerging bass
generation, namely Disrupt, Zomby, Lukid and Starkey. As actress he produced
the exceptional “Hazyville LP” drawing cries for a Mercury Award Nomination.

Donae'o [Skream
Remix] : Riot Music : Digital Soundboy : 12"
[Pre-Order only] White label. Donae’o aka Ian Greenidge was
always destined to make a career out of music after growing up in a house where
melodies were a major force. During his teens Donae’o would release a few
singles, most notably Fallin' and Bounce on various imprints. * Both singles made an impact on the
underground, with Bounce winning an award for Best Live P.A at the People’ Choi
Awards in 2003. All of this set the foundations for Donae’o’s future success.
* A few years later an older, wiser and
more business savy Donae’o penned a tune called Devil In A Blue Dress, and was
to kick-start his career once again and have a major impact on the UK
underground. From Devil In A Blue Dress, came his critically acclaimed Party
Hard album, an mixture of beats, rich with his trademark heavy soulless and
killer choruses. The lead single off the album also called Party Hard, became a
massive hit in the clubs and on specialist radio, winning him champions across
the board and throughout the British music press. * A self-confession
work-a-holic, Donae’o has also maintain 100% control over his own career path
and prides himself on his own personal promotion machine. Without the help of a
major record company or radio plugger, Donae’o has cemented himself as a ‘one
to watch’ for 2010, after performing at countless PA’s up and down the country
and a coveted spot at 2009’s Glastonbury festival. * Riot Music was never released as a single,
but in Novemer 2009, Zane Lowe surprisingly picked up on the track, making it
his ‘Hottest Record In The Universe’ and continuing to support it over the
following months. The interest and buzz has continued to build, and in early
Dec 2009, Riot Music was pulled from the digital bundle of the Party Hard album
and signed to Shy FX’s Digital Soundboy label. Since then, Shy has tweaked the
radio mix and also roped in none other than Skream and The Nextmen for some
remix pressure. Already a favourite with Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Mista Jam,
and continuing to win supports across the board, Riot Music is set to be one of
THE big records for 2010!

Martyn [Ben Klock /
Illum Sphere] : Remixes 2/2 : 3024 : 12"
The second half of the Great Lengths Remixes package offers 3
more vividly contrasting interpretations of album tracks .Almost a year on from
the release of his debut album "One" and with 'Saviour of Techno'
plaudits still bouncing off concrete walls, Berghain lynchpin Ben Klock turns
in a remix of Is This Insanity that distills everything inspirational about
both the club and city he calls home. Spaceape's cracked vocal is welded to a
sort of cavernous piston driven groove while traces of the original's melody
fractured into the briefest of shards fight their way to the surface only to
sink back into the percussive smog. Located well outside of the heavily
scrutinised UK hype centres, Manchester's rising star Illum Sphere continues to
hone his already distinct sound on the flipside's Brilliant Orange reworking. A
clanking off kilter groove rubs up against an extended mutation of the original
melody that pushes the track towards a poignant climax, evoking all the ache of
reaching for the stars and landing squarely on one's face. a Martyn Ft.

Lost : Ironhide /
Slaughtered : Hench : 12"
Finish copy. Born and bred in Croydon, 19-year old Justin
Cantor, a.k.a Lost, is the latest addition to the acclaimed HENCH crew.
Somewhat of a child prodigy, Justin started DJ-ing at an early age, and got his
first set of decks aged 12. It was not long before Justin’s attention was
caught by the burgeoning dubstep movement; inspired by the sounds of Skream and
Digital Mystikz’s, he turned his hand to dubstep production early in 2008. Soon
after, his debut release came out on Hatcha & N-Type’s ‘Croydon Dubheads’
EP. He recently was named alongside Emalkay and 16 Bit as one to watch in Radio
1xtra’s ‘Future Sound of Dubstep’. We’re proud to present Lost’s debut release
on the Hench imprint and are sure that you’ll enjoy it. A. IRONHIDE - Lost
creates a seriously atmospheric mood from the start in Ironhide, building to a subtle
drop of one mean reverbed wobbly bassline. A real creeper of a tune, the open
hi-hat progresses throughout, giving way to a double time feel that’ll keep
heads nodding. This is one serious weapon for your bag! AA. SLAUGHTERED - Flip
over for another bass-led rhythm, from Lost. Pushing a different tone from the
A side (yet no less menacing), ‘Slaughtered’ immediately surrounds you with its
rolling filtered wobble. This is one futuristic sounding bass riff. An echoey
drum loop helps create an ambience and suspense to this track. With such a
distinct vibe, you’re guaranteed to have the crowd putting their screwface’s on
when this gets dropped. DJ Support for both tracks from: Hatcha, N-type, Jakes,
Skream, Chef, Beezy, Shiverz, Darkside (Getdarker), Tubby (Newham Generals),
Mista Jam (BBC 1Xtra) These tracks from will feature in the HENCH Mixtape Vol.
1 (Due early 2010). The compilation is to be mixed by Jakes and will feature
unreleased tracks from Papa ‘ench too. The release will also contain VIP’s of Jakes,
Komonazmuk, Chasing Shadows, Lost and Giant, aswell as providing a platform for

A Techno and Dubstep label, formed mid 2009. Project Squared
aims to release 12” vinyl and download projects that are dance floor focused,
that test new ground and that have depth as well as impact. We release music
that covers the space between Techno and Dubstep as well as music that stays
more firmly within those two genres. Created as a sub-label of Project
Mooncircle due to a change in taste from one of the co-ordinators of that
label, we were amazed to find two artists (Asusu and Furesshu) that were not
signed such was the quality of their music. Still in early stages, the label
aims to keep releasing high quality dance music, to gather more artists and to
change and evolve as styles change and evolve... Most importantly as our own
tastes change and evolve. Project Squared is a sub-label of Project Mooncircle
and is affiliated with HHV.de. The label is co-run by Paul Cooper and Gordon
Gieseking. Artwork and design is by Gordon Gieseking. Asusu - Now a dubstep
producer with his sound tied to the deeper side of things, Asusu has moved from
roots in hip hop and trip hop through to garage, dubstep and dub techno.
Recently he has received radio play from various DJ’s on Sub FM, Dubstep FM and
Reload Radio, and DJ’s himself (dubstep, garage & techno) mainly in Bath
and Bristol. His tracks have received accolades in Mixmag and ATM (L.V. and
XI’s top ten charts). He currently holds a residency at Rocksteady, Bath’s first
monthly dubstep night, and also regularly co-hosts a show on Sub.fm alongside

Headhunter &

Surefire Sound’s second single release features four
heavyweight producers representing the UK and North America. This innovative
tag-team set brings together dub-tech pioneers collaborating on a pair of
earth-moving tracks. Leading off the release is the UK’s Tony Williams, a.k.a.
Headhunter, a veteran Bristol producer with numerous releases on Tempa,
alongside Joseph S. Hanks Jr, – Djunya to his mates – a stalwart SF artist
whose tracks on Narco Hz, Lo Dubs and Eight FX have established him as a major
player. Combing the best of their respective spacious and spacey sounds, “El
Presidente” is a luminous, rolling track, equipped with pulsating bass and
reverberating synth stabs. It’s truly King Tubby-style dub for the 21st
century. The track is getting massive advance play from artists like Jus Wan, F
and Mary Anne Hobbs, to name a few. SF’s Dean J. Grenier, a.k.a. DJG has risen
quickly in the electronic ranks via singles on Tube 10, Subway and Narco Hz
that showcase his potent techy tracks. He links up with Toronto, Canada’s XI,
whose releases on Formant and Immerse have lead to mixes for Sonic Router and a
growing international following. “Putney Says” features an intricate,
percussive rhythm that lumbers like a giant, each step punctuated by
mountainous bass thumps. Sizzling analog synths, vaporous filtered pads and
well-timed drops round out this effective and tension-building work. About
Surefire Sound: Surefire Sound is a new record label presented by the Surefire
music group whose goal is to showcase upcoming and established talent in
electronic music. The label is part of a collection of projects under the

Geiom Feat. Marita
[Brackles & Shortstuff Refix] : Sugar Coated Lover : Berkane Sol : 12"
Berkane Sol moves into a new decade with the future soul of
'Sugar Coated Lover'. Back in '08 Marita and Geiom blessed the dubstep scene
with the certified classic Reminissin', this time they turn their radar towards
the vibrant keys and soca style drumz of UK funky. Elements of disco, techno
and house wrap themselves around Marita's delicious vocal, with a sweet synthy
steel drum melody leading up to the seriously catchy hook. Marita and Geiom
take the sounds of house music both old and new and create a sophisticated
hybrid that joins the dots between producers like Todd Terry, Luomo and Roska.
On the flip the unstoppable Blunted Robots team of Brackles and Shortstuff take
the raw elements off to their workshop, clear some space on the bench and begin
to rebuild according to their own confused specifications. They fill the CPU of
the new machine with the original data, a DJ EZ set and the best bits of early
Search and Destroy - after some extensive experimentation we find them both
happily shockin' out - until Shortstuff realises that most of the vocal is
missing and what's left is severely broken - so they sprinkle on an extra
helping of their sweetest arpeggios in the hope that Geiom doesn't notice. This
12" fits perfectly into the creative space that has opened up in UK
underground dance music, taking ideas from garage, techno, dub, grime and house
and melting them into exhilarating new forms. It has found favour with all the
usual suspects including - Skream, Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank (Radio1), Kode
9, Scratcha DVA, Oneman, Alexander Nut (RinseFM) and Untold. a Geiom Feat.

Bflecha : Ceja De
Carnival / Kosmic Lovers : Arkestra Discos : 10"
BFlecha has been making some serious noise lately with the
certified floor banger 'Ceja de Carnival'.
This is her particular vision of current dirty-south hip hop sprayed
with a touch of day-glo psychodelia; like Three Six Mafia playing 808s and
flutes on a starry night around a campfire with Gang Gang Dance. It is already
receiving strong reactions at the Sonar Festival and plays from DJs including
Rustie and Sinden. On the flipside, we find the dreamy raw ballad 'Kosmic
Lovers'. A frontal intercourse between the new school 'purple wow' sound coming
from Bristol (Joker, Guido, Gemmy) and a palette of burgundies from epic '80s
divas like Kate Bush or Laurie Anderson. Here she displays her vocal
capabilities over a mish-mash of 8bit arpeggios, sax chops, 80s synth toms,
celestial horns and castanets. This creates a retrofuturistic anthem that has
already received props from the Hyperdub and Luckyme camps. To complete the
package, the artwork features an original oniric painting by Maya Hayuk, one of
the most exciting faces of contemporary underground art right now. She has
created original artwork for album covers, tour posters and publicity for
numerous artists, from Prefuse 73 to Devendra Banhart. All-in-all a beautiful

Equalizers feat.
Vonesvonic w/ Marchmellow Remix : Don't Rely (On The Radio) : Pure Filth :
12"
For Pure Filth’s next offering our resident veterans the
Equalizers are back with a feel-good anthem for everyone who loves the old
skool vibe. Don’t Rely (On the Radio) is
a collaboration with London based song-writer Vonesvonic, and is a nostalgic
reflection on the golden era of music radio.
Combining the Equalizers deft touch with catchy hooks, club-stepping
beats and Vonesvonic’s vocal styling this is a real crowd pleaser which should
attract prime time radio play as much as it will dominate dancefloors this
year. Calling all raving cru! On remix
duties Wicky Lindow’s Marchmellow turns in a superb dubstep interpretation
which makes great use of the vocal with a more blunted approach and a
fantastically deep half-time drop. A squelchy bassline twists under hypnotic
vocal delays all coming together to form a subliminal whole which will suit
festival sets or late night parties equally. Blazing! The final remix in the package comes courtesy
of Tomb Crew who are dominating clubland with their eclectic selections
influenced by grime, dubstep, jungle and much more. A truly authentic slice of
nuskool hardcore with rolling amen breaks, housey keys and a pinpoint, bouncing
sub bassline this is a wonderful glimpse into how the rave scene used to sound,
updated and elevated to maximum effect. Absolutely massive, and guaranteed to
be raising hands and lighters in your area. Respect! [3/8/2010]

Elite Force :
Revamped : U&A : 12"
Right from the word go, when Simon ‘sHack’ Shackleton created
Elite Force the moniker became synonymous not only with gilt-edged class but
also with the ability to deliver guaranteed club carnage time and time again.
Straddling styles and riding roughshod across genre lines, both as a DJ and
producer, Elite Force has carved an enviable reputation as an innovator, never
staying still creatively long enough to be pigeon holed or trapped in a single
scene. As sHack puts it himself: “I
decided to embark on a whole new extension of the re-edit idea looking at
creating a number of brand new tracks out of components taken from older tunes…
proper mash-ups. Some were born out of simple live jams that evolved into
finely tuned studio creations, whilst others were ground-up rebuilds where I
was effectively writing new pieces of music using samples from other tracks.
There was no fixed way of working and no sacred cows that went
un-plundered.” The result of this new
approach is Re:Vamped a seamless excursion through Elite Force’s unique record
bag taking in artists as diverse as Danielle Papini, Hugg & Pepp, Classixx
and Bassbin Twins. Kicking off with the pounding kicks of Final Whistle sHack
takes to the task with relish fusing French funksters Popof and Delon &
Daclan with Lee Coombs & Dylan Rhymes before slipping into the euphoric
energy of Red Lights & Lasers. Barbar Blaze’s bouncing b-line takes no
prisoners as Palmer Brown’s searing a capella from Blaze’s ‘Do You Remember
House?’ takes the track into the realms of uncharted mayhem, Harness The
Nonsense sees sHack doing just that, entering heads down territory for a run of
superlative cuts reassembling recent clubbing history into a whole that
effortlessly transcends the sum of its parts. Dissecting elements of
Propellerheads, Blatta & Inesha, Wolfgang Gartner and Meat Katie and
assimilating them into a world of fierce subs, cavernous beats and incessant
leads, before stitching them back together with consummate ease, Re:Vamped is brought
to a heavyweight close with a re-reading of Bar 9’s Shaolin Style that
underlines Elite Force’s musical vision faultlessly. [3/8/2010]

Troublegum : Body Bug
/ Sin Critic : Future Perfect : 12"
Troublegum returns to Future Perfect with a new single full
of the deep, heavy, electro mayhem you know already from his massive debut
single Politricks. Coming at you like a juggernaut on a one way street there is
no escape from these punishing, syncopated drums and bass. On the A. side
Bodybug a distorted funk riff squeals and squeaks throughout and is punctuated
with a bodyhammer kick and snare that will shake your girlfriend’s ass and make
you punch the air like a novice. The underlying beauty in this track is the way
the riff keeps coming back to floor you each and every time. The AA. side Sin Citric is a more progressive
affair with a build up in the intro that drips like sweat off taught, tanned
flesh and drops into a dissolving acid breakdown. The main hook that bursts out
of the speakers like an alien Tiger stalking hidden prey will find you,
wherever you are, and consume you for lunch. Prepare to be devoured! For the
digi-lovers Gorden Zola is a beastly, maniacal, dancehall rampage that oozes
quirky melodies and deviant sex-appeal. Rough! Three more winners from
Troublegum and proof, as if you needed any, that Future Perfect are killing it
in 2010. [3/8/2010]

sparse break. Echoed vox and distorted synth stabs then follow that warn us to
keep away of this throbbing slice of off-kilter D&B but for some reason,
you just can’t. ‘Groove Scam’ on the flip is a totally funked up foot skanker

- Opening with strings that evoke memories of 'that' Blue Note era of Jungle
Drum and Bass, this track fuses lush eastern undertones with the smokey muted

half tempo groove built on sub bass hits, growling mids and warm reese. A long
awaited track championed by the likes of Marcus Intalex and BBC 1xtras Ras
Kwame. * Hollow- A more stripped back and melancholic essence sits at the
centre of this track. Spacious strings and electronic hits envelope a switching
work out of drums and classic breaks before the minimal but hypnotic bass draws
everything together. Finding a place in the record bags of artists such as
Spectrasoul, Alix Perez and Sabre -The lone vocal before the drop echoes this
pieces forlorn sentiment.... "Baby, don't go".. [3/1/2010]

After his recent release on Clone A Made Up Sound (aka 2562) presents his new
platform for his own beat freakery. It is no news anymore that Dave Huismans is
one talented guy! His debut 2562 album was one of last years highlights.. and
his new album set for early winter 09 will be not create a smaller buzz! In the
meanwhile mr Huismans also managed to squeeze out some killer tracks out of his
machines for his A Made Up Sound project! These 2 tracks will get a limited run
on his newly started label. 'Rework' started out as a sneaky bonus remix but
ended up as a killer techno track in its own right, with stomping 4/4 beats, an
irresistibly simple 3 note chord melody and gut-wrenching sub bass. Contrasting
is 'Closer' on the flip, where a yearning vocal stab spirals around a warm
synth line that just keeps on building over signature punchy broken beats and a
big b-line, all the way until its climaxing breakdown. Highly recommended! [11/9/2009]

now. Taking the bare bones of the Untold original and creating a completely new
lick, Blake throws in p-funk synths alongside chipmunk gospel vocals that
relentlessly swell to an apocalyptic climax. "The most utterly next level
piece of music I've heard in years" Ben UFO (Hessle Audio) Side aa. Untold
- I Can't Stop This Feeling (Pangaea Remix) The Hessle Audio co-owner comes
with his hypest, rudest most surprising tune to date. A 140bpm, Chicago-style
jackin' remix of Untold's Hessle Audio release from earlier this year. Raw
house stabs, those trademark swung drums and a breakdown that's a lesson in
tension and release -the mix just rules the dancefloor. Huge support worldwide

Limited
edition promo Vinyl. The single’s lead track Wile Out is a hypnotic, highly
addictive workout featuring triple-MOBO, double- Brit and Mercury Music Prize
winner Ms Dynamite switching effortlessly between soulful singing and
rapid-fire ragga chat. Prior to its rebirth with added vocals, the instrumental
version appeared as Crack House EP opener, Blunt Edge. Wobblebass flipside My

of his previously live-only Magnetic Man project with Artwork and Skream. The
release reflects not only Zinc’s reinvigorated, refreshed approach but also the
current revitalized adventurous spirit of dance music in general – a welcome

Breakage
aka James Boyle is never been one to be pigeonholed. Moving effortlessly
through styles from drum and bass to dubstep, Breakage has proved himself to be
one of the most versatile operators in either scene to date. * 2009 has
seen Breakage cemented himself as ‘one to watch’ across the British dance music

national airwaves, Breakage explores new ground on this bold and bashy release,
giving us the perfect insight into the direction of his new album. He’s already
gained specialist support across Radio 1, 1Xtra, Galaxy and Kiss FM from the

Steak : Hyped Up : Steak House : 12"
The
newly formed Steak House Records bring some much-needed carnival fire for these
winter months, their sights firmly on the Trinidad carnival season. Label
owners Atki2 and Hanuman take the helm on this release, enlisting the vocal
talents of MC Zulu on the EP’s standout lead track ‘Hyped Up’. The party
continues on the flip, with the psychedelic funky of ‘Haarlem Drift’ and the
Arabic folky heater ‘Tigris Riddim’, already a firm favourite with Toddla T.
Mashing up global riddims and bass heavy genre bending ruffness, they
incorporate sounds from bassline to bashment, grime to dubstep to funky to soca
and back again! A1: Hyped Up feat MC Zulu is an instant party classic.
Featuring the formidable vocal talents of the original badman MC Zulu. This
tune is pure Soca Fire. A2: Bombeiros! is the riddim of Hyped Up and a huge
tune in its own right. Chromatic Bass and galloping Soca Beats raise the
temperature on this tropical banger. One for the Airhorns Crew! B1: Tigris
Riddim. As featured on Toddla T.’s Fabriclive:47 mix. Fragments of Iraqi folk
music collide with bubbling bass and tuff bashment beats. Global Bass at its
finest. B2: Haarlem Drift is a psychedelic funky anthem. Dreamy synths and
punishing sub bass weave themselves around a broken tribal rhythm. Featured in
Chrissy Murderbot’s massive Mad Decent Mixtape. Sinden, DJ Mag - “There
couldn’t be a more fitting title for this second 12” from the Steak House crew.
Aided by the vocal firepower of MC Zulu, the lead cut is guaranteed tropical
dynamite for the right kind of crowd. On the flip the tunes take a slightly deeper
turn, with the heavyweight bass and slimline rhythm of ‘Tigris Riddim’
capturing the atmosphere of primal, minimal jungle at a slower BPM”. Oli
Warwick, IDJ - “Chew on a couple of amphetamines, mainline the Red Bull and pop
some Nicorette patches under your eyelids; this is pumped Kuduro-esque madness.
Party party!” Markle, DJ Mag - “Hot on the heels of STEAK 001, praised by
everyone from Thom Yorke to Sinden comes another 12” of karnival heat from
Hanuman and Atki2’s Steak House imprint”. Clash Magazine - “Its only STEAK 002,
but Steak House threaten to build a distinctive voice. The title track from
label bosses Hanuman and Atki2 is a soca/bashment speedbomb featuring hired gun
MC Zulu, while ‘Tigris Riddim slows to (b)ass-wiggling dancehall speed and
‘Haarlem Drift’ gets the melodius funk. Everyone from Toddla T to Thom Yorke
are on this lot. Best have a butchers”. Support From Sinden, 2562, Toddla T,

Danjah : Acid / Pro Plus Ft. DOK : HyperDub : 12"

has long been a fan of grime don Terror Danjah's razor sharp productions, his
unparalleled, skittering rhythm science, deadly riffs, brilliant technicolour
synth squiggles, “gremlin cackle” signature and general ear for a catchy tune.
On this first EP for the label, he showcase two strains of his many skills.
'Acid' cranks up the energy, with an ascending synth crashing into stuttering
drums and synths. They play hide and seek with each other for a bit, before the
track unexpectedly breaks into a 4 / 4 house rhythm, and then shatters into
pieces again. On the flipside, 'Pro Plus', Terror is joined by long time
collaborator DOK for a slice of their classic sound - an infectious, twisted
sickly sweet synth melody wrapped around syncopated, stop start drums to mean

G31
is a Glasgow based dubstep producer. This will be his debut release but his
versatile, reggae-influenced production has and will continue to receive a lot

is not only a crowd pleaser, but has a distinct, crisp and bass-drenched drop.
The smooth vocal sample moves at a steady pace and tells a story of it's own.
As the name suggests, it's a pity there aren't more seamlessly blended vocal
tracks with bass-heavy drives like this one. Complimenting the "AA"
side of this record, this track is the heavier of the two. [3/1/2010]

Dubterror
: Chatty Chatty / I'm Leaving : Wicky Lindows : 12"
Dubterror
is a music producer and sound engineer from Turin, an industrial city in the
north of Italy. His deep passion for sound led him to London and the study of
Sonic Art where he learnt sonic manipulation techniques and mixing desk
improvisation. It was in the UK capital that he conceived and realised
the Dub Terror production suite. His approach to making music is freeform
and instinctive, usually preparing multi-tracks, recording several versions and
only then choosing the one that his instinct leads him towards, in the style of
the dub pioneers. He plays with the mixing desk as if it was part of the music,
like a director, and produces the final track as creating a story. He sees each
instrument as a different character, bringing its own personality to interact
with other instruments, as actors do in a play. Dubterrors debut release on
Wicky Lindows is a dance floor banger that holds no prisoners and the b -side
is a homage to his roots as a DUB specialist with 'Im Leaving'... [3/1/2010]

Break : Late Drop /
Crunchy : Critical : 12"
2009 has been a good year for Critical, having built yet
further on its reputation as being one of the most forward-thinking underground
drum and bass labels in the scene. Appearances from Spectrasoul, Sabre, Serum
& Vapour paved the way for the heavily acclaimed Critical Sound compilation
that saw label boss Kasra representing the ‘Future of D&B’ at Fabric’s 10th
birthday and even guesting on BBC Radio 1. Now just in time for Christmas Critical
serve up one last delicious 12” before the new year from the mighty Break.
Smooth’s the word as ‘Late Drop’ gets under way with lazy-day pads and a light
stepping break that runs through the DJ-friendly intro all the way to the
breakdown. Wait for the typically gnarly Breakbass though and then it’s
throttle down, away we go on this late night tech-roller that oozes class and
sees Critical’s eyes set firmly on the dance floor once again. ‘Crunchy’ kicks
off with some interesting orchestration and a simple stepping break that
flowsunderneath jungle samples and a distant vocal. It’s all about the
distorted b-line though as Break doeswhat he does best letting it worm its way
into your psyche. No-nonsense D&B to move your feet. [2/22/2010]

Following on from massive tracks on the first two Bad Taste compilations they

rolling D&B which Brazilian superstar DJ Marky described as 'techy but
funky, simple, but a killer', need I say more! Uman makes his debut on Bad Taste
alongside No Money and rounds off volume III in fine style with 'Requiem'. With

blistering release it’s easy to see how it keeps getting away with it!
Catalogue number 19 sees the debut of V Recordings’ Mosus as he opens the doors
on a new collaborative project with fellow producer HLX entitled Need For
Mirrors. Teaming up with Zero T for ‘Tilt’ the order of day is that low-down
dirty funk that has become so synonymous with the camp. Warm atmospherics push
air into the lungs from the off before a huge warped drop of bass and one ton
kicks wrestle to take it all back as things get cold and deadly. Definitely one
to keep the Shogun soldiers on their toes. Then rolling out nicely on the flip
is ‘Wasted Youth’ with some more strictly digital beats that sound nothing
short of heinous when pumping from a system in full flow. With a killer vocal
refrain and a heavy endorsement from Friction you know this is one not to miss.
A lot more to come from Need For Mirrors, no doubt. Support from Friction,

Chook : The Cocoon
Sampler : Full Force : 12"
Chook is that artist, and The Cocoon, Chook’s debut
long-playing project, moves beautifully through drum & bass, minimal techno
and stunning ambient soundscapes without pausing for breath. The Cocoon is the
culmination of half a decade’s worth of hard work. Starting out in 2004, Chook
launched Full Force Recordings as an output for the fierce and disturbing side
of European techno influenced drum & bass. The label garnered support right
from the off with DJs as diverse as Roni Size, J Majik and Calyx & Teebee
all queuing up to work Full Force’s releases into their sets. Chook, alongside
friends such as Germany’s Phace (Subtitles), New Zealand’s State of Mind
(Shogun Audio) and USA’s Mayhem (Ram Records) put the label firmly on the map
with tracks from some of the world’s finest breakbeat artists, keeping the
music policy as credible, long-lasting D&B. Now, five years since he
started Full Force, Chook delves deeper into his influences, spreading his
wings as a producer without resorting to cheap tricks and sheep-like trend
following. From the growling bass of Optimus Prime through to the inchperfect
elements of Time Running Backwards and the building, spacious progression of
Toontown, The Cocoon is a lesson in staying true to your beliefs and sticking
the middle finger to those who dare question your motives. Some might consider
that a lost art in drum & bass these days. [2/22/2010]

soundscapes are the order of the now. Support from Ant TC1, Survival &

Bal / Nymfo :
Remembrance (System Remix) / Paperboy : Vampire : 12"
Drumz of the Damned - Album Sampler 1 the first of three 12”
taken from the album. The CD & Digital version of “Drumz of the Damned”
will be released on Feb 15th. The perfect follow up to “Once Bitten Twice
High”. It continues the deep journey into the world of Vampire Records. This
time it has 22 exclusive tracks and 2 remixes. It will take you on a journey
through many different moods and styles of Drum and Bass. From Light to Dark
this album has everything! Once Again! Get bitten!!! The concept behind Vampire
Records is the relation between the nocturnal behavior of Clubbers and
Vampires. Vampire has constant evolution and is a platform for established
artists and up and coming talent. The birth of the label was at the end of
2006. It has grown from strength to strength over the last couple of years.
Vampire is still growing to this day but it has staying power in the world of
Drum and Bass. It is up to its 10th single release and on April 1st 2009 it
released its first label album “Once Bitten Twice High”. All releases on the
label are still selling which proves that the music has shelf life and is
non-disposable. It was very important to Phil Source at the birth of the label
that it would have credibility with the old school, as well as the new breed of
Drum and Bass fan.

Sato : Turning Point
/ Rough Ground : Ingredients : 12"
EACH COPY COMES WITH A RECIPE CARD FROM THE ARTIST! It's
recipe time again as the fourth instalment on Ingredients Records lands.
Newcastle’s exciting talent SATO launched the label with “Barn” back in August
and returns for his first full solo 12”. Fans of Break will love “Turning
Point” with it’s dj friendly beats, huge bass drop and summer vibes. “Rough
Ground” on the flip is reminiscent of old skool Zinc, and is something a bit
different for the label. We like to keep it interesting and open to all walks
of Drum & Bass, hence the label name. DJ support.. Hype, Break, S.P.Y.,

Dabs & Wrath /
Nphonix & Enei : Who’s Gonna Lead? / Shadowdancer : Icarus : 12"
Icarus Audio brings forth quality over quanity with the third
release on the imprint. The ASide features Dabs & Wrath hitting you with a
purely infectious, funky roller that slides the shove in all the right ways.
The vocal sample sits deep while the bass speaks, add that to a two-step stomp
and you've got a floor formula executed with fine precision. DJ supported by
several heavy hitters and featured in Maztek's mix in Knowledge Magazine, you
can be sure this tune is ready to start a revolution!! AA-Side: Nphonix + Enei
- Shadowdancer: Nphonix and fellow producer Enei team up to deliver a new
groove for the flip. This track is a prime example what happens when the
strengths of two extremely skilled producers are properly fused together.
Nphonix's signature grime and attitude and the deep atmospherics and pressure
from Enei really shine through and allow for this tune to be played anywhere,
anytime. This tune is rolling and pushing up to the maximum and coupled with a
bassline that bounces just right to form the perfect riff guaranteed to rock it
all the way out. Subtitles fans, heads up! [2/22/2010]

Lethal & The Sect
: Ubik / Whiteout : Surround Sound : 12"
A: Lethal & The Sect - Ubik - Surround Sound is proud to
bring you the long awaited collaboration between Lethal and the Sect. A
slamming slice of Techno influenced Drum and Bass, creeping synths and bleeps
ease through the atmosphere before opening up to pounding subs and twisted
midrange. The beats are relentless and rolling, keeping the funk moving
throughout this pure dancefloor destroyer. AA: The Sect - Whiteout - Another
storming track brought to you from the Sect. This one opens up with sci-fi pads
setting the scene for a dizzying build. When the drop comes it hits hard and
disorientates with looping, tearing basses and pulsing beeps. The breaks keep
things moving as the b-movie vibes take hold, pulling the listener down
spinning into the whiteout.... [2/22/2010]

Smash Brothers : 'So
Be It /Technofear : Cold Blooded : 12"
After the massive success of the first release on his brand
new imprint Cold Blooded Recordings, Crystal Clear returns for the second
instalment. Teaming up with Cutterz Choice Rhythm Beater this dynamic duo is
otherwise known as Smash Brothers, and when you listen to their first release
you'll instantly know why! Straying from the sound both of them are most widely
known for this debut blows away and misconceptions that this label was going to
be sticking to any sound or formula. So Be It is a rolling slice of techno
influenced funk that would slide into almost any prime time set. A cool, calm
intro gradually builds with a catchy old skool influenced riff filters through
before building up to a punchy, sub shaking drop. Technofear takes things one
step further and gets darker and dirtier than the flip. This one will have the
Smash Brothers smashing holes in speakers wherever its played as tight drums,
low end stabs and a marching step to the bass means this is one militant piece
of dancefloor ammunition!

Voice Of The Mysterons : Formation : 12"
A: ROLLZ - PLUGGED IN Smashing dance floors across the
country at the hands of some the scene's biggest names such as High Contrast,
Fabio, Andy C and Grooverider - 'Plugged In' has seen unparalleled support and
popularity within the UK music world. This electric roller has even been picked
up by Radio 1's own Zane Lowe as one of his top ten hottest tracks in the
world! Opening with a rich, energetic sweeping intro, the track drops into a
high-octane upbeat smasher. It's crystal clear bass sounds rise and push
through the melody with a unique warmth that will have the hairs on the back of
you neck standing on end. B: ROLLZ - VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS On the flipside
'The Voice Of The Mysterons' has all the characteristics of a powerful jump-up
club anthem. It's dark stabbing drums are a stark antithesis to the warmth and
energy of 'Plugged In'. An eerie grinding synth rolls through the main body of
the tune whilst a forceful muted kick drum and
crushing bassline rises and drops with a force that could rival the
mightiest of earthquakes. This one will have the walls shaking! Raffertie
