New this week	View all

Danny Byrd feat MC GQ

Salute
Hospital

It's rare we see the high profile combo of Danny Byrd and Hospital not pull of some exceptional results. This brand new track entitled "Salute" is an example of how to turn a drum & bass dance into a zoo in three simple steps. First of all, the vocal presence of MC GQ plays as the perfect host for the track as it rolls out with fantastic drum arrangements beneath. When you couple this with lethal sub weight and emotive horn-like synthesis, it's hard to not find yourself moving to this one!

Guzi

Stamp EXCLUSIVE
Sub-liminal Recordings

If you're looking for twisted brass-textured bass designs then look no further than Guzi and this walloping four-track chop-slap sesh for Sub-liminal. "Stamp" goes all-in with the widescreen bassline that licks up and down the spectrum with mischief while "Game" takes a similar bass texture and thrusts its into a deeper rolling groove and "Take Your Time" jumps sideways for more of a hornets nest style buzzing bassline, all sinewy and electrified. Finally "Crazy" lives up to its name with groaning fog horn bass and a tripped-out cascading riff. Watch out for the key-change!

Simplification & Translate

Summer Vibes EXCLUSIVE
Soul Deep Exclusives

As summer approaches rapidly, it's that time of year in which producers and labels begin the search for festival dynamite. On this release Simplification and Translate put together four heavyweight jungle riddims, built perfectly for the sun. The title track "Summer Vibes" is a weighty roller alongside DJ Patife whilst "My Soul" is a jungalistic garage hybrid. Following this we have the more liquid inspired "Something Good" rounding off with melodic chops and subtle sub bass work of "Baby" alongside Masterwizard.

Replicant

Ruff & Tuff (Remixes) EXCLUSIVE
Audio Addict

It's safe to say that Audio Addict have become one of the most consistent drum and bass imprints in recent years, consistently releasing high quality material for the masses. This release sees Replicant return alongside a bag of remixers on "Ruff & Tuff", including Agro, Too Greezy and Veak. Our highlights have to be DJ Hybrid's old school refunk, Section's subtle rolling refurb and the super chops and piercing bass stabs of Conrad Subs' recreation.

Symptom & Durban

Stop EXCLUSIVE
Asbo

Symptom and Durban make their collaborative return to the highly respected Asbo imprint for four tracks of explosive underworld weight. We kick off with the grinding reese tones and lethal drum design of the title track "Stop", which also brings forward wonderful vocal work from Savannah. From here we fold into the hardcore inspired composition of "Bedrock" and another dip into hardcore melodics with "Belta", also featuring vocal work from Savannah. The EP is then rounded off in style with the dirt driven bassy chops of "Trenchfoot".

Syndax

Elevator EXCLUSIVE
Bulletproof

Bulletproof make another high profile return on this one as they employ the production services of Syndax for a jump up special! We kick off with the metallic gritty skips of "Three Vision" and the uniquely designed bass synths of "Bullshit". The title track really levels the EP up another notch with squelching leads running riot amidst super punchy drum selections. The EP then rounds up nicely with "Like A Dogz" which is a tearout teaming with Defmatik. This one will be rocking dances nationwide come the weekend!

Conrad Subs

Dirt Mode EXCLUSIVE
Dubsoul Recordings

Dirt mode initiated: following his firing Deep In The Jungle EP, overtly active fast riser Conrad Subs continues to chomp into 2018 with wild rolling abandon on this debut for Dubsoul. Flexing a full dynamic spectrum, we're treated to all shades of his dark low end psyche. The rolling jungle flavours of the title track, the stripped back tribalism of "Double Deuce", the clever twostep breakbeat switch on up "Puzzle Box" and the all-out balls-out amen roughage of "Stuck To The Wall" with JOE. Stinking through and through.

Deekline / Specimen A

All The Way Up
Gorilla Warfare

Deekline and Specimen A make another high profile collaborative appearance on this brand new single entitled "All The Way Up". The pair rework the classic Fat Joe & Remy Ma instrumental sample into a piece of jump up genius, complete with vicious bass synthesis and punchy drum patterns. We are also blessed with a superb Ed Solo redesign which strips the entire arrangement back for a skanky shellout, complete with super syncopated rhythms and lethal reese bass leads.

Agro

Step Back EP
Sub-liminal Recordings

Agro returns to Sub-Liminal with his fattest EP stack since last summer's "Settle The Score" and the word murderation springs to mind. The stench of deadliness is high the moment the stripped back kicks leave room for blessed sub wobbles on "Step Back" and the stank remains thick throughout; the slimy bass melts on "Silver Lining", the pungent jungle rolls on "It Came From Under Me" and the neck-snap steps and harmonic grunts on "Tank" are just some of the many highlights. Stinking.

Mentah

Space, Time & Matter LP
Sub-liminal Recordings

After a string of slamming EPs, Sub-Liminal mainstay Mentah delivers his debut album and it's a powerful piece of work. Punchy and concise at nine tracks, the focus is fully on the floor and hyper-charged with an on-point modern jump-up hybrid sound. The type of cuts you can imagine Randall playing at Breaking Science, 4am, the basslines wobble, the textures drone ominously, the riffs never get too OTT and they all seriously hurt! Highlights include the Benny L style swampy bass on "No Disrespect", the nan-slapping foghorn heaviness of "Alone In The Light" and stinking distorted tripletty finale "Grudges" but that just not even half of this universally heavy tale. Big up Mentah.

Vital / Agro

Spiritual Vampires/I Set This Ting
Sub-liminal Recordings

Two highly respected new gen roustabouts, two tunes, one massive reminder of why Sub-Liminal are killing it right now. Vital takes the virtual A-side with an epic riff monster that rises and rises with venomous stripped back charm while Agro flips the vibe with "I Set This Ting", a much nastier, groaning paranoid number that's more warped than a night out with a timelord. Ting when you're winning.

Various

Sub-liminal Criminals Volume 1
Sub-liminal Recordings

Two and a half years deep into their dark star safari Sub-Liminal continue to shred up the dance with a crack team of heavy bass innovators. Bass riffs galore and aesthetics so unforgiving, every track is tailored for the most underground floor... The worming low-end mashery of Too Greezey's "Modulation", Leaf's oddball drum funk and melting trumpets on "Shoot Off", Warhead's brutal technoid mutations on "A'Gwarn" and Tyrant's absolutely annihilating "Nuclear Bomb" are just four of the 14 high level bangers on display here. There's nothing subliminal about the message on this one: not picking up on this is a criminal offence.

Agro

Settle The Score
Sub-liminal Recordings

Having let off some serious stinkers on Hybrid's Audio Addict earlier this year Agro returns to his own imprint with five more blunt-nosed scudders. Once again, it's an understated affair which hits best with its low-swung technique - more rolling than jumpy, more grumbling that shouty, it's the type of tunes you'd expect to hear Randall play at 3am. Highlights come in the form of every track but don't sleep on the elastic bass stretches and sultry vocal on "All The Time" (with Raz), the ludicrously flabby bass on the brilliantly titled "Big Food Mover" and the epic, not to mention sandpapery, collabo between Aggers, Greezey and Kumarachi "AZR". Score settled.

Dialogue

If You Can't Beat Em
Sub-liminal Recordings

"If You Can't Beat Em" demands you raise your lighters. Bad news for non-smokers. Good news for skankers thanks to the swaggering, well-measured dub hook that really digs in on the breakdown. Incredible news for the mandem who love a gully riff. "Jazz Hands" puckers up with more of a classical smooch thanks its majestic swooning piano intro before going all-out sloppy snog with its butt-grunting bass tones on the drop. Two killer tracks loaded with contrast... These are hard to beat.
