Gantz
Dying On Acid
Deep Medi Musik
When a new Deep Medi release hits the store, it's become standard procedure to become fuelled with excitement, it's only natural right? This time we see the ever creative sounds of Gantz return with a super experimental four tracker. We kick off with the illuminatory journey that is 'Fugazi' which features a trip-like musical experience, with hallucinogenic themes running wild alongside 'Elif Dikec'. Next we hear the the electronic masterpiece of 'Shivy' which features guest vocals from 'DedW8'. This is followed by 'Dying On Acid' which returns to the trippy themes with what seems like a whirlwind of sound design. The EP is then wrapped up perfectly with another guest vocal, this time from Rider Shafique who delivers a phenomenal piece of spoken word over 'Sharkeyes'.
Sibla
You Know What
Rarefied
Following his Well Rounded debut, Brighton's Sibla dents the Rarefied spectrum with three brain-tickling wallopers. "You Know What" checks us in with a bounce before wrecking us out with some fly b-boy elements. "Huckster" adds a little eastern mysticism to the melting pot as a warped molten bassline thumps away hypnotically. Finally "Guzheng Zither" gets all off-beat and freaky with some Chinese strings and lava low end flickers. Full immersion guaranteed.
Teffa
Warped Dub
EXCLUSIVE
Cue Line
After a relatively lengthy hiatus, our main man Teffa returns to our charts with a side-winder of an EP for the ever-impressive Cue Line, making this its 21st release to date. Kicking of with the wayward "Tribe Dub", we're flung deep into a world of electronic bass steppers made up of the same ilk as Mala's original sound. "Phone Tapes" and "Warped Dub" are similarly heartical killers, engulfing the entire framework with cavernous levels of sub-bass and dread-spirit, leaving "Up In Smoke" to roll its menacing dubwise scatter over a slew of itchy percussion and dreadlock nuttiness. TIP!
Datsik
Master Of Shadows
Firepower
There are few names bigger in the dubstep spectrum than Datsik. Throughout the last 10 years the Canadian heavyweight has worked non stop and solidified his name in the history books as one of the leading producers in EDM worldwide. His new 'Master Of Shadows' EP on the Firepower imprint summarizes exactly why this is, from the irresistible bass grooves of 'Ronin Riddim' and 'Bad Behavior', the electronic overloads of 'You've Changed' along with 'Freakuency' and the future bass driven lead synths of 'Pressure Plates' and 'Find Me'. The EP is then rounded up by the highly anticipated collaboration 'Warriors Of The Night' alongside Germany's Virtual Riot, which is an absolute banger we might add.

Rdg & Gaze Ill
Keepin' It Real
Cue Line
A title that can be read in more than one way. "Keeping It Real" doesn't just refer to the track's vocal sample, or it's classically trained deep cavern sounds but also because it's the label's first vinyl outing. Level up business. Elsewhere "The Zone" is a contemporary techno-style dub track with palpitating drone subs, "Shapeshift" is powered by the groans of what we can only assume to be the undead (either that or some superb vocal processing) and "Combo", a springy minimal track that's tightly sprung by the swung kick and spacious dynamics. Cue Line: Keeping it really good.
Gaze Ill
Space-Time
Cue Line
After ripping it up for labels like Northern Hertz and Foundation Audio, as of late, Denmark's Gaze Ill has absolutely no problems in tearing it down for the young and 'up-for-it' Cue Line label. "Space-Time" is the perfect opener, bouncing its subtle bass rolls like supersonic machine-gun spray, and accompanied by all sorts of eerie cosmic sounds, whereas "Mist" heads further into the cavernous echo that we expect such deep-minded dubstep to offer. "Spirit Of The Forces" is our choice cut, jacking out to some propah jungle infusions at the core of its groove, leaving TMSV's remix of "Space-Time" to leave us lingering outside the atmosphere. Utterly divine bass, right here!
3WA
Immortal Combat
Cue Line
Following a long line of luminaries such as Drew's Theory, John Matrix and Chad Dubz, Portuguese bass-smith 3WA makes his Cue Line debut with two unique constructions: "Skeleton Symphony" rattles the bones with its active bassline that buzzes up and down the spectrum with a raw sense of funk. "Royal Rumble", meanwhile, invites us to step in the ring with some wily percussive fighting talk, crafty sample use and tripped out reverse techniques. Head-bending.
Audhentik & Iam5erious
Room Of Truth
Cue Line
It's a German ting: Audhentik returns to Gaze Ill's Cue Line with fellow countryman "IAM5ERIOUS" for three stony chasm sessions. "Murderer" flexes a fairly warm skank considering its violent title, but be careful - there's danger in those moody bounces. "Room Of Truth" sees the duo scaping a much starker 4am sound that's enshrouded by cosmic fog. "Fyah" completely their triptych on an authentic roots tip, pipes and all. Finally the label boss gets ill with his deft twist up on "Room Of Truth". Dank.
