* Following his awesome 'Steam Train' - Break gets more dancefloor with 'Music is better' which has been a firm favourite of Andy C, London Elektricity & Friction this summer. Absolutely massive tune which once again proves to the doubters how consistent Break really is. On the flip, his Bristol crew deliver a quality roller in the shape of 'Celestine'
* DJ friendly and it's infectious bassline will see this getting played for years to come.
500 press on a black vinyl
* Dj support comes from Andy C, London Elektricity, Hype, Friction, Doc scott, Dub phizix, Skeptical, Bailey, Calyx & Teebee
* TRACKLIST:

*Arguably the stand out vocal track from J:Kenzo's self-titled debut album, released in 2012 on Tempa, 'Eyes Wide Open' boldly showed off dubstep's ability to be a uniquely flexible form of music. Its half-sung, half-whispered lyrics and descending arpeggio turning oceanic halfstep into a deep vocal track, equally at home in headphones, on late-night radio or cutting through the crowd at FWD>>.
*Assembled on this remix 12" are a 170 bpm reworking from multi-talented producer and owner of Exit Records dBridge, and a meditative remix by scene mainstay Youngsta, in collaboration with Metalheadz' Jubei.

*First discovered by dubstep DJ and label owner N-Type in 2011, Killawatt's productions have found homes on N-Type's own Wheel & Deal Records, J:Kenzo's Artikal, and most prominently on Kryptic Minds' Osiris Music imprint.

*Darkplace / Sur Place, produced with regular collaborator Ipman, is his debut release on Tempa. Featuring his signature intricate rhythmic textures and unwavering half-step bass pressure, A side track Darkplace is a bold statement of intent. Sur Place, on the B side, is a techier 4/4 production, its hybrid techno rhythms guaranteeing the track will cross over all dancefloors.

The Green Man's Sound Power is "Bass Music" with a lot of soul. Its 30 tracks are a sound journey from melancholy to euphoria, covering both speedy and half-time beats, coolness and emotion. It features mainly Drum & Bass, but also Dubstep, Ambient, Jazz, Soul, Techno, Trap and Trip Hop. It switches between lush arrangements and minimal simplicity, between wide spaces in sound and
the intimacy of a drummer's booth - with a big final at the end, featuring three of green man's former biggest hits at the end of cd 2. "Sound Power" is a sound adventure - which is supposed to be experienced from the beginning to the end.

"Sound Power" is "Bass music" with a touch of Air or Massive Attack. Singers like Peter Boucner (I'm a Junglist, UK Top 10 with Shut Up & dance's I'm Ravin I'm Ravin), Demolition Man, MC Navigator, Mystic Dan and Ras Abraham are performing on Green Man's sound resulting in tracks with soul like "Face the Father", "Word Sound Power" (both on Basswerk 38 limited edition vinyl), "Junglist Soldier","Keep Trying" or "Playing in the Dark". Shut Up & Dance's "The Green Man" once was the spark initiating "The Green Man"'s artist career delivered the artist name, so having Peter Bouncer to sing the opening track matches not only soundwise. It's the positive energy of his singinig - in Jamaica they call it "Word, Sound, Power" - which became a hook for the whole album, which is about "Sound" that lets you smile, gives power or also makes you wonder. Besides
the groovy material tracks like "Chainsmoker, Apokalypse or "We destroy the world" show Green Man's "dark" side.

TGM's first album "You Decide" on Duesseldorf's electronic crossover label "Combination" (who also released SEBA and Kabuki albums) back then convinced the fans not only with the music ("Infinity" entered the MTV Dance Charts and was #1 in the german DCC club charts), but also with its accompanying little written "essay" in the artwork. "You Decide" was loved by D&B nerds and "Elle"magazine at the same time. It is a coincidence that Heiner Kruse a.k.a The Green Man (or in short "TGM") has his birthday on the same day with Matthew Herbert. Nevertheless it is no surprise one can find allusions or political statements in track names, colours and pictures plus another little essay also in "Sound Power", they are not so much hidden though and feel quite
personal. "The Green Man" does not only enjoy details when it comes to sound design but also when it comes to writing down his "TGM" moniker as a logo on the album the same way he does it with an "Edding" waterproof pen on self-burnt dubplate cd's, developping a fonts out of it and doing the whole artwork.

While currently "Bass music" is the new word for Drum & Bass and Dubstep, the borders between genres seem to "blur". TGM and Basswerk are known for running one of Germany's most famous Drum & Bass events called "Basswerk Sessions", being an absolute term in the scene featuring a wide musical variety of Drum & Bass since 1995, featuring artists such as Intalex, D-Bridge, State Of Mind, BSE, Doc Scott, Spectrasoul, Enei, Calibre or Dub Phizix recently. With over 40 Vinyl and CD releases including regular musical contributions by The Green Man's own "Basswerk" label, founded 1997, soon developed to become one of Germany's most famous Drum & Bass labels receiving various Future Music Awards for the best label, which were the german equivalent to the UK's D&B Arena votings.

As an artist TGM is known to enjoy surprises, be it within his dj sets, productionwise with "crossover" tracks like "Easy" or "Infinity", or with his dark "Chainsmoker", released on Big Bud's UK's Soundtrax label played by DJ's like Rockwell, Phace, Naibu or Intalex - or long ago producing a coop with Klute called "Chicks" in his Cologne studio. He covers a variety of electronic music and Drum & Bass. No wonder his music was used for various flms and performances like CSI Miami, BBC Blue Peter, Sky, Arte, CreativeReview.co.uk, Current TV, Holiday On Ice and more, including his works as a composer for the "Lichtfaktor" lightwriting artist collective and its movies.

The Green Man has been performing DJ and Live Sets internationally including overseas gigs and in 2008 also contributed a DJ Mix on behalf of Groove Attack for Knowledge Magazine's CD. In 2011 UK Mixmag has chosen his Basswerk dc2 digital compilation including a TGM dj mix to be compilation of the month. He also does music videos and artist tutorials on www.youtube.com/basswerkrec. He is also known as an author of various books on music production in german language and teaches music production and beatdesign lessons
in an engineering school once a week in Cologne.

Taking the boom of British bass culture and marrying it to the sweet slickness of classic American R&B, AlunaGeorge - aka Aluna Francis and producer George Reid - are excited to announce the details of their eagerly awaited debut album 'Body Music', released on July 29th via Island Records.

In the 12 months since their first release went viral, AlunaGeorge's DIY video for 'You Know You Like It' has clocked up over 2 million views, the band were crowned the most blogged artist of 2012, they sold out a European tour, performed at Moschino's catwalk show during London Fashion Week and made the top 3 for both last year's prestigious BRITS Critics Choice Award and the BBCs Sound of 2013 (#2). On top of all of the above, with no surprise, Aluna has also kicked off a career in fashion having been signed by NEXT Models.

These accolades, and the universal praise heaped upon the duo's shoulders, were of course a direct result of the incredibly fresh and unique music the pair are producing. Their second single 'Your Drums, Your Love' followed 'You Know You Like It' in October 2013 and latest single 'Attracting Flies' released in April this year has now sold over 100,000 copies. In between, AlunaGeorge scored a #2 hit single in the UK following their amazing collaboration with Disclosure on future classic 'White Noise'.

Fast becoming an unstoppable force in 2013 with their signature sound that has captured the attention of critics and fans alike, AlunaGeorge are turning British pop on its head. The summer of 2013 looks set to be theirs for the taking as the debut album 'Body Music' drops and a new 'You Know You Like It' EP on July 21st which includes the refreshed single and the B-side, 'Bad Idea'. The pair are also putting the finishing touches to a brand new video which drops in the coming weeks.

Half Of Where You Live' is the follow up to Gold Panda's debut album 'Lucky Shiner' - a release that
garnered widespread acclaim and won the Guardian First Album Award on its release in 2010.
· In the three years that has passed since that album's release Gold Panda has toured extensively worldwide,
and his experiences can be seen as in influence on this record with track titles like 'Brazil' and 'Enoshima',
and the oriental sounding textures of 'My Father In Hong Kong 1961' and 'We Work Nights' capturing his
nomadic existence.
· The feel of 'Half Of Where You Live' is cosmopolitan, with each track possessing a different aesthetic and
environment.
· 'Half Of Where You Live' is released on Gold Panda's own Notown label, also home to recent releases from
Luke Abbott, Dam Mantle and Hannes Rasmus.

Special edition deluxe digipack CD. (Once this format has sold out, a standard jewelcase version -NOTOWN020CD - will be made available.)
Gatefold double vinyl (including download code).

Seahawks return once again with a supremely psychedelic dip into the ocean of sound. 'Aquadisco' was originally conceived as a 2 track 12' but spun out of control by a fast moving cyclone developed into an epic double vinyl journey to the depths.

It's not easy to put a tag on the kaleidoscopic sound contained within although 'Sun Ra jamming with Level 42 on a Caribbean Yacht produced by Conny Plank' comes close.
Spaced out aquatic afro jazz, interstellar lilo funk and new age disco are just a few of the ports of call.
A concept album of sorts, 'Aquadisco' imagines a time when instead of fleeing into space to avoid calamity, mankind is relocated deep beneath the waves.
'In the clubs there's a new sound...it reminds people of when they used to live on the surface, when they could go to real beaches and feel the warmth of the sun, taste the salt and feel the breeze in their hair. Now there are beaches under the oceans, in the vast pyramids where cities have been built there is everything you need but it's not the same....there are forests, rivers and sky....and of course nightclubs where people go to dream as they listen to the soft throb and warm tones they call Aquadisco'.
Time to take a trip into the deep.

To have this release on R&S feels like the most natural thing in the world. This is the label that put out Lemon D and Jacob's Optical Stairway (aka 4 Hero) in the 1990s, placing drum'n'bass firmly within the continuum of international electronic music - and there is nobody better placed to draw the links between the current d'n'b scene and the wider world of techno, electronica and bass music than dBridge.
The record opens with a sample of simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious Jamaican dread wisdom, that leads into the Skeptical collaboration 'Move Way'. This is track is a perfect example of the half-tempo rhythms that dBridge helped pioneer, a kind of d'n'b parallel to the deepest dubstep yet which still maintains the momentum of 170bpm parent genre through subliminal flickers of percussion. 'Death of a Drum Machine' is a more standard d'n'b roller rhythmically but is embellished by filmic piano chords and absolutely exquisite production. Finally 'Plain to See' steps outside genre completely. Again with the half-step/double time thing going on, it's simply a piece of awesome electronica: a love letter to vintage electronic drum sounds yet utterly modern, rich in slowly unfolding layers of synth melody and harmony, and the perfect counterpart to the other two tracks on this perfectly structured EP.

Troller mine classic death rock, but slow it down with a heavy shoe-gazing doominess. You can tell the female singer has a voice as big as Zola Jesus, or Siouxsie, but what we like most about it is that she restrains her delivery from overwrought passion up front in the mix, instead letting it moulder at times in a dour misanthropic mire with the chilly synths and the booming plod of the drum machine patterns. The band has a knack for sculpting dark ambient soundscapes that are alien, pensive and luridly bleak

Orlando Voorn aka The Living Room is one of the first Dutch musicians to establish a vital connection between Detroit and Amsterdam in the early 90's. Voorn has long been recognized as one of the Netherland's most original and ingenious producers in the world of electronic dance music. He began DJing at the early age of 12 years old and later went on to win his first scratch competition at Amsterdam "Club Flora Palace". Subsequently he made a name for himself under the alias "Frequency" with a classic label known as Lower East Side Records with titles such as "Where is Your Evidence" "Kiss the Sky" and "Industrial Metal".



As a result of these tracks Voorn was introduced to Juan Atkins and they later started to collaborate & produce tracks together at Voorn's home studio.Soon after they would join forces and produce the well know track called "Game One" which became a classic record on Atkin's label "Metroplex" and later it reprised on Voorn's imprint "Nightvision" double CD Compilation 1996.

Ever-prolific UK Funky producer Champion steps up for his first release of the year , after a busy 2012 which saw the release of ferocious dancefloor shaker 'Crystal Meth' on premier Grime label Butterz, and the infectious vocal anthem 'Crazy' on his own Formula Records imprint. On this strictly limited, white label style, vinyl only outing, A-side 'Prince Jammy'finds Champion in familiar territory, with quick-fast, sharp drums and claps anchoring the percussion and his signature guttural bassline in full gear, making this one another addition to the already glowing catalogue of buy-on-sight releases from the young Londoner. On the flip, 'Hydra Island' will be familiar to those who have seen him out in clubland, as it's the track that he has been opening sets with for the past year or so. Propelled by the infectious swinging rhythm of ultra crispy bongo drums, the track is characterized by a low end bass melody that growls with the intent and purpose of keeping the dancefloor moving, as Champion's signature tracks have proven to do all too well.

Strictly limited to 500 copies.
Along the west coast of Co Kerry in Ireland you will
find the amazing Valentia Island.
Attached by a bridge to the mainland, it is a place of
beauty touched by years of history and the songs of
the sea.
I managed to obtain a house there for a few weeks,
I took my computer and mic with me not knowing
what to expect when I got there.
In one of the rooms sat a piano, and as my fingers
touched the keys I knew there was a story there
waiting to be told.
The sound of the piano in that place was something
very magical as 100mph winds battered the house
and interrupted my recordings.
Other material has since emerged from those days
spent on the island, but the main body of work that I
recorded there makes up this album that I now
present to you.
Album support from: Gilles Peterson, Skream,
Laurent Garnier, Patrick Forge, Jean-Claude (IF),
Soulclap, Joszif, Makoto, Breach, Flight, dBridge,

Our official release of Jealousy by Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown & Macka B has arrived!

Hailed as 'the most requested record ever' by London's Phonica Records, re-release of this brilliant track on International Feel, complete with a 2013 Techno Redux and the glorious New Beat of 'God is Gracious'. 180 gram vinyl. Played by everyone!

LuckyMe are proud to present 'Champagne Sounds' the first in a two part series introducing a distinct new talent; young Brooklyn producer Sam Obey (birth name) AKA Obey City pronounced: oh-bee-sit-ee.

Although this is his first full international release, Obey City has been a fixture of the New York club scene for many years. Sam runs the Astro Nautico label and their associated parties at the Freecandy Gallery and Arts Centre in Crown Heights. As Benii B of BBC Radio One witnessed and cited last year - there is a New-New York emerging around warehouse soundsystems where young djs and producers are ignoring dance genre and building communities and audiences that merge the performance-art spirit of The Kitchen with the experimentation of London's DMZ. An open playground of dance genres far off the grid; out of site from this pivotal city's great music publications. It's with great pride LuckyMe gets to play a small part in an exciting new movement unconcerned with any rules or commerce. In Sam we have signed a quiet, unassuming lynchpin of an important city at an important time - he records for LuckyMe, runs Astro Nautico, DJs and produces for Flatbush Zombies and a constant collaborator and recording engineer for New York's latest R&B vocalists. Sam Obey is a producer, proper. Someone deserving that titles original context.

Introduced to us by Machinedrum 3 years ago - Sam Obey was a perfect fit for LuckyMe. This is dance music. It's hip hop influenced. At times it's intensively detailed and hyper active. Others it's refined and concerned only with harmony. This music carries a unique voice steeped in Slow Jams, Prog & Gospel. But Sam can't ignore the club and the outcome is a vision of R&B in 2013, made with the grandeur of Quincy Jones and the snap of Jahlil Beats.

Opener Reflect Effect sets the scene by building to ever more histrionic heights - submerging into Quantum Phase which pairs southern military drum work outs with warm jazz chords and ridge- racer-esk topline. Tell Her rains arps on a wistful piano to close Side A. Turning the vinyl, Uptown Pumps eludes to House influences but can't stay contently minimal, expanding into a storming half time in 7/8. Cyber Stream is a bold and upfront club weapon built on a parray of triplets. Finally, our closer Fallin': a joyous romantic epic that perhaps best captures the spirit of Obey City. It's agonizingly beautiful and with a vocal by Oliver Day Soul is a hint of thing to come as we pull focus on his completely vocal follow up, Merlot Sounds, out later this year.

ARTKL009 plunges into the dense sounds of Netherlands based producer TMSV. The A side embarks on a tribalistic excursion into deep, sub driven dubstep. Choice vocal sampling pins this hard hitter as a favourite for all the sensi smokers out there. Distinct percussive elements mark 'Haze' with a rampant swing that accentuates the rolling movement in the bass line. Crisp is the key word when thinking about the sounds on the A side. Clean cut sounds stand strong in the composition, leaving the listener craving more of that potent fusion of fresh sampling, hefty bass weight, & ancestral drum elements.For the flip, LX ONE offers up his rendition of 'Haze' on a more half-step oriented platform. With that breath-taking bass line and signature LX ONE sound, the remix packs tremendous sub pounding potential. Crafted around the original version, LX ONE picks apart the vibe salvaging his own strain of sound from within. A serious steppa with gritty mids and prevalent ambient detail.'Damage' sits as the digital exclusive for this monstrous EP, boasting a more rigid and aggressive sound. TMSV lays down an militant drum line backed by sinister mid range sounds. Never leaving the atmospheric out of things, this track boasts a fully consuming vibe drawn from dreamy synth notes. Sure to light a fire in the dance, or in your mind, this track (along with the entire EP) is destined to ignite many sound systems this summer and into the future.Brett - Trusik

Babe, Terror:
I lived 6 months in England, years earlier I recorded a tape with sounds in a apartment i used to share with a girl. U meets girl, in London

Girl gives tape
Year after, with a copy of the tape, I made the music, inserting some beats. Years after, U remixed the other tape the girl has given
We met at phantasy. We discovered the plots. We went like "whow". U remixed all the things retransforming everything again (3 rd time)
U:
I met a girl in London. She took me for a ride in her car on the north circular. There was a tape playing in the car, the tape was old but I liked it.
She gave it to me and told me it had a hidden meaning, so I studied it for a long time. I did experiments with the tape but couldn't find out.
Years after, BT reveals the mystery to me

If you thought Pittsburgh Track Authority's production prowess stopped with techno and house, you were wrong. Here the trio dives into luminous, pulse quickening 2-step on the title track and booty bumping, aquamarine electro.

*L PIERRE'S LONG OUT OF PRINT CD FINALLY REPRESSED. NOW MID-PRICE.
*2002's Sales Notes:*Lucky Pierre is one man, Aiden Moffat whose principle work began in Arab Strap five years ago with chum Malcolm Middleton. Lucky Pierre is Aiden Moffat's latest project, a beautiful, more soothing version of his usual trade full of immense tracks with cello and strings...THINK DJ SHADOW'S `ENTRODUCING' meets CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA and ARAB STRAP.*5/5 MAIN ALBUM OF THE WEEK IN SEVEN UPDATE:"AIDAN MOFFAT's DEBUT ALBUM IS A STUNNING COLLECTION OF 21ST CENTURYDOWNTEMPO BLISS. LIKE DAVID LYNCH'S `MULLHOLAND DRIVE' , `HYPNOGOGIAMIXES UP DREAM AND REALITY IN A LATE NIGHT FOG OF INSOMNIA, PARANOIAAND FAIRYTALE MELODICA."
*Moffat's principal mission was to make 'music to fall asleep to'. Indeed,the inspiration to create a relaxing wind-down record of his own came from the incessant spawn of contrived chill out records which currently invade record stores everywhere. 'I can't stand those chill-out things and I was having real bad sleeping problems; I just couldn't relax.  So I decided to find some sounds which I liked and put them together, it's as simple as that'.
*There are evenreferences to previous work here and there, with Aiden raiding the cupboards of Arab Strap's second album, Philophobia, for ocean-sized cello and stringsections.

Delving further into the Brenda Ray/Naffi multiverse, following Em's releases of Brenda Ray's Walatta and her work with Naffi on D'ya Hear Me!: Naffi Years, here is

Hoochie Pooch/Space Alligator. This release focuses on contributions from Freddie Viaduct to the delightfully strange world of the variously named Naffi Sandwich/Naffi, the former being the earlier incarnation of the group as a trio, the latter a duo. Less vocal driven than the poppier D'Ya Hear Me! tracks, these mainly instrumental pieces emphasize the group's spontaneity, allied with the creative freedoms offered by the band's ever growing mastery of their Naffi HQ recording studio. The influence of funk plus Jamaican roots music is clearly felt in Viaduct's forceful and spacious bass playing, reverb, echo and effects. Captain Catchpole's drums and Ray's multi-instrumental work fill out the trio sound, resulting in a vast aural territory, with the aforementioned elements blending with

Euro-improv, free jazz and post punk viruses to create a subtly mind-bending, rhythmically compelling, and texturally varied DIY hybrid. Originally released on cassette and vinyl and extremely rare, the tracks have been compiled here, along with two previously unissued full-length versions as Hoochie Pooch/Space Alligator and are presented with two extra tracks on the CD.

RP Boo - a.k.a. Kavain Space is a man who is revered and respected amongst the dance music cognoscenti. He's cited as one of the originators of Footwork, the fast, repetitive, rhythmically syncopated music & dance style that's a grandchild of Chicago house and which has been brought to the wider world via releases from Planet Mu and others, alongside internet archaeology from fans, experts and enthusiasts. Going back to the roots of this music, his self released track 'Baby Come On' made in 1997, sampled and looped up ODB over tough syncopated drums, and in doing so spawned one of the first tracks to solidify the style called Footwork. Later on, in 1999, his track known as '11-47-99' a.k.a. The Godzilla Track was monumental in the evolution of sampling in footwork, chopping up the Godzilla theme taken from 'Simon Says', by Pharoahe Monche and setting off a trend for footwork versions of hip-hop tracks. Many cite RP Boo as the originator of footwork music, and it's hard to argue, when the scrambled, syncopated drum patterns common to footwork can be largely traced back to him. Kavain was born in West Chicago and moved to the Southside in the 80s. Like many of footwork's originators, he was brought through into production through associations with the legendary House and Juke dance clique House-O-Matics, DJing alongside DJ Deeon and DJ Milton, then getting shown how to produce by DJ Slugo. The machine Kavain learnt to produce on was a display model of the Roland R-70, a drum machine which gave access to all previous Roland drum sounds and the ability to punch in rhythms on the fly, it's the machine he still uses today. RP Boo's music is singular and unusual in Footwork, featuring raps and dialogue adopted from Juke, often in combination with sharp-edged and incidental samples giving some tracks a paranoid atmosphere. Take '187 Homicide's bleak feeling and question and answer vocals, 'Area 72's alien landing scenario or 'Speaker's R-4's audio walk-through. His music is often hectic, seemingly built to to almost psyche-out the listener or offer challenges to dancers; it's this playful and imaginative quality, along with his sometimes baffling-but-it-works rhythms and sub, that give RP's tracks their totally unique feel.

*Renegade Hardware are proud to present the Reanimation EP, featuring four remixes of previous Hardware standards by some of the hottest names in the game right now. Original tracks by Usual Suspects, Optiv & BTK, Maztek and Future Cut are reimagined by InsideInfo, Maztek, Optiv & BTK and Verb respectively.
*The InsideInfo remix of Usual Suspects' Killa Bees leads things off, with its recognisable apocalyptic opening and signature vocal sample. As the beat drops in, the world as you know it will stop, replaced by a pulsing, addictive soundscape. InsideInfo adds his usual rolling, head nodding beats, and squelching, claustrophobic basslines. You'll be surrounded by Killer Bees, and won't be able to get away.
*Three of the best get together on the next two cuts, with Maztek remixing Inception by Optiv and BTK and the British/Brazilian combo returning the favour on the Italian's Limber. On the former, things get dark and deadly early on, with a sci-fi feel mixed with classic RH vibes. The sound is of a dystopian future, controlled by the machine overlords, as booming bass teams up with sliding live-effect drums.
*On the Optiv and BTK remix of Limber, the duo have opened up the track, letting the inner workings breathe more, by which method the soul and the funk of the original is emphasised. After a towering opening, the raw guts of the track spill onto the sidewalk, as visceral and unforgiving as anything you'll hear all year. Get caught in the web that is Limber.
*Closing things off we have Verb going in on the classic Whiplash by Future Cut. The samples are all still there, but this time surrounded by some tunnel-like synths before the drop. When things do close in, we are treated to a hail of amens, lifted by the sheer rush of the drums, and some steadily-handled bass runs.
*The future of Renegade Hardware is in good hands, and the original vibes of the label are being taken forward by the new generation. Grab the Reanimation EP, and be part of it.
*Radio Support: Plays from: Friction Radio 1 (2 x whipash / 1 x killa bees plays). Crissy Criss - BBC 1xtra
Featured on Frictions forthcoming Fabric 70 mix CD as well as Dieselboys recent Beyond The Black Bassline mix.
*Dj Supprt: Andy C / Friction / Dieselboy / Rockwell / Audio / Black Sun Empire / Ed Rush / Dose / The Prototypes

With an intro of beautiful strings washing in over warm breaks it's not long before a delicate synth eases us in to this deep journey that is 'Cosmic Blue' by Submorphics. One for those long summer nights, gorgeous.
Dj Quotes:
LTJ Bukem - Loving this can't stop playing this every Set

Then Malaky turns it on for 'Drifting' which as the names suggests does exactly that as it draws you in for an ear-pleasing, smile-inducing slab of highly accomplished drum & bass.

* A. Wayfarer - Reflections

Brother hits the spot with another smooth and dubby 2 tracker on the Soul Rebel imprint. Drenched with reggae vocals and atmospheric effects the A side is built around heavy drum patterns alligned by some deep down bass action. Where the a side contains a more dark and spooky vibe the B side is more of a roller with some late night summer vibes to it.

*FUCK BUTTONS reveal 'The Red Wing' (Edit) from new album 'Slow Focus' (July 22nd), listen here: https://soundcloud.com/alltomorrowsparties/fuck-buttons-the-red-wing



*Following the announcement of their third album, 'Slow Focus' (released 22nd July on ATP Recordings), Fuck Buttons have cut loose the first track from its densely constructed mesh of abrasions and grooves, in the form of the sinister, penetrative breaks of 'The Red Wing', an edited version of the track that will appear in full on the album.

*The full version will also be available on a gold vinyl 12" (limited to 1000 worldwide) to be released on 24th June. The duo can also now reveal that they will be headlining the Park Stage on the Saturday night at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

*In keeping with the directional shift from the serrated trance-like meditations that made up 2009's 'Tarot Sport', 'The Red Wing' reflects Fuck Buttons descent down the other side of that record's high, to darker, more uncertain climbs. ''The Red Wing' has a sense of fear and of loneliness, as if deserted in an abandoned city,' says Benjamin John Power. 'The feeling of malevolence is something we hadn't really explored in our music prior to this.'

*Having already confirmed a string of festival dates, which kicked off recently at Primavera Festival in Barcelona, the pair have now been unveiled as Saturday night Park Stage headliners at Glastonbury. 'We're looking forward to it hugely,' says Andrew Hung. 'I'm hoping that the Glastonbury crowd will be up for a bit of raucous!' If the pair's viscerally thrilling early shows this year are anything to go by, they're not going to have any choice but to be.

Until now, Alec Storey has been known as Al Tourettes, the pseudonym under which he has released on labels like Applepips, AUS and Hypercolour s offshoot Sneaker Social Club. He collaborated with close friend Appleblim on Underworld s latest album, and on a remix for Luke Slater s Planetary Assault Systems. A regular performer at both Fridays and Saturdays at fabric, and Bloc Weekenders and club nights, his greatest achievement to date has been soundtracking Natalie Portman s first (fictional) ecstasy experience in Darren Aronofsky s Oscar-winning movie Black Swan. Leaving the Al Tourettes alias behind, Alec now joins the Houndstooth roster as Second Storey, as he is to be known henceforth, with his unique brand of colourful psychedelic electronic music, rooted in bass-heavy soundsystems and festival culture. The Margosa Heights EP is made for fans of Drexciya, Appleblim, Shackleton, Pearson Sound and T++.

After a few years away, RAMP offshoot PTN Returns. Leading the new wave, we have up and comer Thefft dropping the first 12'. Hitting more of a jazzy note than his previous releases.

Moving forward, we will be less focused the colourful side of British house we cut our teeth on, instead serving as the single / dancefloor arm of RAMP. Expect music from Red Rack'em, Ital, Palace & Bad Autopsy in the coming months.

Mehr als drei Jahre konzentriertes, intensives Arbeiten. "Precious" - das neue Album von Vargo ist endlich fertig. Wie stellt ein Künstler, der selbst auf vielen Kopplungen vertreten ist, eine Compilation zusammen Erwartet uns die typische Musik für Musiker Nach welchen Kriterien kreiert er die Reihenfolge Nach aufstrebenden Tonarten Nutzt er die Compilation gar geschickt, um selbst möglichst viele eigene und womöglich schon veröffentlichte Tracks nochmals aufzukochen Oder erwartet uns hier ein besonders sensibler Umgang mit Musik Eine tiefe
Hingabe beim Aussuchen der Tracks und dem Inszenieren eines Spannungsbogens Ein außergewöhnliches Gefühl für das Besondere, begleitet von der Fähigkeit Musik zusammenzustellen, die trifft - und zwar mitten ins Herz Ansgar Üffink, selbst seit mehr als zehn Jahren international erfolgreicher Chillout-Künstler, steht mit dem Namen Vargo für entspannte Wohlfühlklänge der Extraklasse. Normalerweise
produziert er im Studio, spielt mit Vargo live oder legt als DJ auf. Darüber hinaus entwickelte sich die Freude am Kreieren besonders schöner Compilations. "Es macht mir besonders viel Spaß Titel zusammenzustellen", sagt Ansgar. "Die Suche danach ist sehr spannend, der kreative Prozess aufregend und außerdem ist es wunderbar in Kontakt mit all den tollen Kollegen zu kommen." Mit den Reihen VARGO LOUNGE und LAUSCHKOST setzte Vargo deutliche Akzente in der musikalischen ntspannungswelt. Sämtliche Releases dieser beliebten Serien erreichten die vordersten Plätze der iTunes Electronic Charts. Die letzte Veröffentlichung LAUSCHKOST 3 kletterte sogar bis auf Platz Eins.

An artist with minimal online presence and who
keeps himself to himself, Commodo is one of an
increasingly rare few who make waves through the
strength of their music alone. He builds bass-
focussed beats with soul and substance that never
perpetuate a formula, distancing himself from
contemporaries with ingenious sampling and sound
design influenced by his long-time affinity with the
vibrancy of hiphop. Regardless of whether it's the
tough, dread-pressurised bassweight of his
dancefloor-leaning productions or the tonally rich
and immersive qualities of his more cerebral work,
his scrupulous studio techniques are evidenced by
the resounding freshness and longevity of his tracks
both new and old. His inherently unique and
accomplished production style earned him
recognition right from the outset of his ascendancy,
and garnered early attention from a host of key
figures within the dubstep community, landing 12"s
on Untitled! and Black Box before finding a natural
home for his music at the bastion of low frequency
excellence, Deep Medi Musik.
Having already accumulated a gem-laden
discography, there is undoubtedly much more to
come from Commodo. The accolades keep rolling
in; he has....

With past releases on RENEGADE HARDWARE/DSCI4/DISPATCH/CHRONIC/ and now 117, Verb has been pushing his versatile
sound for over 20 years and now his time is near...with a expert knowledge in sound production his debut release on 117 is holding

Wilkinson has already unleashed one of 2012's biggest club anthems in Radio 1 B-Listed 'Need To Know' feat. Iman and London's fastest rising talent is showing no signs of turning down the heat just yet. Teaming up with P-Money and Arlissa, 'Heartbeat', released August 2013 via RAM Records, is set to take him all the way.
Gripping from the off, 'Heartbeat's atmospheric intro and tribal drum loops are licked by the irresistible vocals of BBC Sound of 2013 longlist nominee and Roc Nation's Arlissa as legendary P-Money lends the fiercest of flows. Remixes come from Calyx & Teebee and Mind Vortex.

Andy Pain & Z Connection, the production duo from St. Petersburg, Russia come correct with their exciting new album for Hustle Audio. With their refined sound they are already carving their way into the Drum & Bass world and have turned heads with tracks on Demand Records, IM:LTD and more.

'I Believe I Can Fly' is the duo's second album and the first artist album on Hustle Audio, providing great evidence of the diversity this pair have in their arsenal. The album showcases everything from minimal rollers to outright dance-floor killers. With precise attention to detail and inherent musicality, their individuality has blossomed, creating an album that works equally well as a home listening experience as it does in clubs. However, this album is much more than just a collection of DJ tools, providing the kind of musical journey that is often sorely missed.

The end.user - RETOX EP is the first record to be released on the new Dutch label RETOX,
which was created to release electronic music without boundaries.
This EP is a perfect example of that, it shows the known hard & agressive side of end.user (Lynn Standafer) as well as 2 remixes by end.user of tracks by Ritualz & Cvlts that are different but unmistakably end.user.

Kript 432 Hz EP is composed by three Tracks: Two experimental and one Techno set in the middle of the vinyl. It arises with the aim to reveal a theme which has been investigated since many years both by the musical and scientific theory: the Universal Frequency (432 Hz).

When it comes to reggae dub-step there's only one name you need to know for 2013 and that is Killa Mosquito. This new up and coming production team is making big waves on the electronic-reggae-dub-step scene which has previously been a relatively untapped genre. To kick start the year off they've come up with an absolute corker of a track entitled 'Computer'. This fresh tune features a funky dub-step beat covered in reggae bass-lines with a host of chopped up samples, organs riffs and a great big booming mix fit for stadiums. If that wasn't enough they've also managed to procure the services of the legendary reggae artist Macka B, who is renowned for his clever and thought provoking lyrics. This time he is making sharp observations about the computer age we live in and how it is turning us all into robots. British-born Macka B has been a performer and activist with a career spanning thirty years. He has toured and performed with the likes of Burning Spear, The Wailers and Lee Perry, so it is a great honour having him perform on this track. Killa Mosquito have also secured the services of other fantastic guest artists, so keep an eye out for their future releases. 'Computer' feat. Macka B will be released on the Necessary Mayhem Black record label, on Monday 26th August 2013.

GERMAN ELECTRONIC ICON SCHILLER EMBRACES CLASSICAL with leading classical stars Anna Netrebko, Helene Grimaud and Lang Lang.

Opus, released on Deutsche Grammophon's Panorama label, features re-workings of classical works as well as Schiller s own compositions and includes Anna Netrebko's first encounter with electronic music, a beautifual reinterpretation of Edward Grieg's Solveig's Song . Opus was originally intended to be an instrumental album but then von Deylen heard Anna Netrebko sing: 'You just cannot even imagine how a person can have such a voice within them, such volume and such power in a voice, but yet utterly crisp and clear, and, in a certain way, very contained, he says. When I came across her voice I simply realised that she had to be a part of this'.

On its German release, Boulevard Baden called Opus '... the perfect fusion of classical music and electronic sounds , adding that Schiller ... overcomes genre boundaries and goes again and again in search of new worlds of sound'.

Christopher von Deylen says of the album; 'The classical music melodies are simply timeless and have a tremendous emotional vitality. At the same time, when you add the modern electronic sounds of Schiller, which also have their own unique energy, then that combination of both, together, reinforces the truly emotional power of these melodies even more'.
Biographie der Mitwirkenden
Christopher von Deylen established Schiller in 1998 (he was so delighted with Die Glocke by Friedrich Schiller, that he decided to release his music under the poet's name), with the project's first release turning out to be an instant international hit: Das Glockenspiel; has been one of the very few German productions entering the UK-charts top-three and was later remixed by legendary DJ Tiesto.

Having smashed into the top 40 with the massive 'Ill Behaviour', and with the 'Rave Digger album' launching him to the top table of UK dance music in 2010 Danny Byrd is back with none other than legendary jungle MC General Levy.
*Support from Radio One's dance elite Annie Mac, Zane Lowe and Mistajam plus three playlisted singles has made Danny Byrd a household name in the UK. His partner in crime here, General Levy found international fame from his iconic lyrics to M Beat's era-defining classic 'Incredible' in the early 90s and now brings his unique sound to Danny Byrd's 'Blaze The Fire (Rah!)'.

Somewhere in between fact and fantasy there lies a place where sweet soul music can exist in perfect harmony with rolling drum and bass
Connecting the old to the new, the rough to the smooth, the soul to the groove. This song is a dedication to all music lovers.
* Die & Jenna G are both OGs of the DnB scene. Both can count numerous stone cold classics under their belts with Bright Lights/ Clearskyz & Midnight / In Love respectively. Having previously collaborated on the track Work It Out (alongside Clipz aka Redlight). It was long overdue that these to came back together with added penmanship from William Cartwright, for another game changing collaboration.
*There are a number of remixes for this. The first of which has had a healthy sprinkling of Addison Grooveís magical 808 wonderdust.
This is already receiving massive support, having made it to the BBC 1xtra B playlist, as well as receiving over 50,000 views in the first 2 days on the UKF Drum & Bass YouTube channel. Support from all corners of the scene, from Goldie, Mistajam & Skream to Chrissy Chriss and Trevor Nelson. The extended mix of the tune is only available on vinyl.

*Following well-received releases for Box Clever and Innamind, one of the discoveries of 2012 drops his most anticipated dubplate via Black Box, flipped with a formidable remix courtesy of Thelem.
'U Wont Mind' is instantly recognisable as the work of Gantz, with his incessant chopped vocals, counter-intuitive rhythmic switches and dystopian sonic aesthetic. Stop-start beats, pushy sub-bass and cavernous laser shots combine to activate the body but disorient the brain.
*Thelem fires the track into space with his sci-fi slanted remix - cavernous bass drops, computerised FX and nagging AI vocals turn Gantz' original into a Y3K dub anthem.
Support: Kryptic Minds, Vivek, Mala, District, Goth-Trad...

*After delivering some of 2012's most iconic music, High Contrast returns with another superb single to get 2013 off to a cracking start. Bringing together his classic uplifting and melodic signature sound with the more progressive direction of "The Agony & The Ecstasy', this single should be a firm favourite of fans new and old and a DJ favourite too.
*First up, we have the awe-inspiring 'Spectrum Analyser' with its immense intro that artfully pairs a driving, mechanical tone with bleepy 8-bit SFX. Massive euphoric builds and catchy melodies make 'Spectrum Analyser' an instant crowd-pleaser with buckets of energy and plenty of interesting twists and turns to capture the imagination. With a synth hook so big that it feels like it was created in the Large Hadron Collider, this one will definitely get your particles accelerating!
*Flipping over for 'Some Things Never Change', this one is full of nostalgic undertones and drifting melodies. With a vintage sound reminding you exactly why you love High Contrast so much, 'Some Things Never Change' remains true to its title. Soulful vocal snatches pepper the piece and it's full of that familiar feel-good vibe that has dominated so much of High Contrast's work in the past. If this doesn't warm the cockles of your heart, then we don't know what will.

- First release on Tempa by J:Kenzo since his acclaimed debut album, released on Tempa in 2012
- One of the most prominent current producers in dubstep, his productions a favourite of DJ's including Youngsta, N-Type, Plastician, and ravers alike
- Has toured in Japan, Australia, Europe and the US, with a further US tour set to begin in Florida on July 17, ending 7 gigs later in New York on July 29.

*What's striking about J Kenzo's tracks is how few elements they contain, but how powerfully each is utilised - previous Tempa singles such as 'The Roteks' and 'Ruffhouse' reduced dubstep to its very essence, leaving only the barest essentials required to shake a dancefloor to the foundations.

*Indeed, it was a Tempa 12" - the first dubstep 12" he bought - that first inspired Kenzo to start producing. Having grown up on soul, reggae and rare groove before delving deep into jungle, drum & bass and later garage, when he first came across the sound developing at FWD>> and DMZ, something clicked. As he honed his production skills, he began to draw those wide musical influences into his tracks, and it wasn't long before DJs such as scene figurehead Youngsta began drawing heavily for Kenzo's music.

*Each of the tracks on the 'Bloodlines EP' takes a drastically different approach - from the Blade Runner-esque synths of 'Enter Valarak' to the ultra-percussive whirlwind of 'Ricochet', and from the pulsating and direct 'Cause And Effect' to the dark bass stabs of title track 'Bloodlines'.

*Each of the tracks can be found in Kenzo's 'Dubstep Allstars: Vol. 11' mix, available July 29 on Tempa.

* The 6th release and first E.P on Need For Mirrors own affiliated Imprint Zoltar.
* Deity features the vocal talents of Nik toots, with a rich british rock voice this track has set its self apart from anything else currently available in Drum and bass and has a heavy valve influence.
* Broken Britain is a cinematic stepper, drenched in strings and drones and guitars. One for those who love the late 90s sound of Dj Krust.
* True lies rounds off the release with more of the Nfm sound that filters the influences of Fullcycle & Virus to make it there own.
* Limited to only 250 copies, Hand stamped white label.
* Press / Promotion:
Radio / Internet: B.traits (Radio 1), Storm (Ministry of sound radio), Krust (Rinse fm), Flight (Rinse fm),
Hype (Kiss 100), Bryan G (Ministry of sound radio).
* Tracklist:

*There's astonishing depth contained within Nomine's music. His debut for Tempa, released in February, 'Nomine's Sound / Searching' took dubstep into altogether more tropical territories. His three-track follow up, released 8th July, continues his progressive trend.

*Echo-drenched melodies drift like a distant brass chorus, sub-bass as soft and powerful as an ocean current, and turbulent, continually shifting percussion abound across 'Nomine's War'.

*The mysterious Nomine's debut 12" for Tempa takes dubstep into altogether more tropical territories. The fluid textures and east Asian melodies of its two tracks conjure up images of a future London fried by global warming, where rising sea levels are sinking the city below the waves.

*The paranoiac bass and claustrophobic melodies of 'Anxiety Tribe' are aptly suited to the name, while the languid closing track '128.1' trots along a full 10 beats per minute slower than most dubstep tracks, propelled along by disembodied voices and a ghostly breakdown section, it completes a unique take on the sound.

*Nomine's tracks first found their way into the world during a guest mix from Amit on Youngsta's Rinse FM show, before growing outwards from there and being supported by the likes of Youngsta, J:Kenzo, Plastician, VIVEK, Toddla T, Annie Mac and Nihal.
Tracklist:

Rowl delivers The Crescent's fourth release with two original works packaged alongside a stunning remix from ASC. True to form, 004 is another beautifully varied EP exploring the depth of dub techno with influence from the UK's signature garage and dubstep sounds packaged across a plethora of BPMs.
*Already with a string of releases under his belt on imprints such as ICUAudio, M.U.D and Smoking Sessions, Rowl has stepped up once again to deliver an EP that has both headphone and dance floor appeal; one for the chin-strokers and DJs alike.
*The EP opens with the beautiful 'Egipto' - its careful shuffle mixed with Rowl's signature sculpted dub chords set the tone for the rest of the release and showcases his talent at combining influences, bringing a truly unique vibe to the 130bpm bass movement.
*On the flip, 'Someone' is a far more sombre affair, stuttered syncopated drums coupled with deep chords and a lush vocal complement a beautiful sub line, creating a tune rich in both emotion and narrative.
*ASC's interpretation brings his trademark experimental 'Auxiliary' flavour to the release. Perceivably an ode to the label's first excursion and drum and bass roots, the remix explores the ambient groove of 170BPM and does so seemingly effortlessly. It's a true display of disregard for genre norms and an interpretation that translates the original vibe into a subtler piece for autonomic aficionados.
*Early support from: Rowl, Versa, M.U.D, DjRum, Synkro, Troy Gunner, eleven8, HVL, Space Cadets, ASC, Sam KDC and more...

15 years ramm records re-release - limited transparent vinyl

Straight off the back of Ulterior Motive's recent exclusive signing to Metalheadz the production powerhouse return with the release of META010 a stand out double A side 1 that features the devastatingly immense 'Lost Contact,' backed in perfect contrast with the track 'Forgiven' featuring Peta Oneir on vocals.
*In combination the two tracks provide the perfect taster for their widely anticipated album on Metalheadz and with output like this it's certainly easy to see why we wanted Ulterior Motive all to ourselves!
*'Lost Contact' features those signature Ulterior Motive drums stepping faultlessly through a sci-fi tinged soundscape of pads, hugely infectious lead, finished off with a perfect heavy dose of low weight to deliver yet another future classic from the duo.
*Backing up 'Lost Contact' the AA side 'Forgiven' hits that perfect point of light and dark contrast with Peta Oneir's vocal elegance shimmering above a violent backdrop of distorted Reece to provide just as it should, music not just for the ears but music that penetrates the mind and soul, accomplished music for those that truly understand and appreciate the art.
*Both sides are almost guaranteed to destroy any dance floor and definitely the kind of track to stand out head and shoulders above the rest the day after the night before.
*'Lost Contact' aired exclusively by Friction on his Radio 1 show in the coveted 'Fire Track' slot, testament to sheer quality of the track itself and an accolade held only for the absolute highest tier Drum and Bass releases, releases like this continue and confirm the very ethos that has made Metalheadz exactly what it is today, a label and home for the pinnacle standard in Drum and Bass Music.

A whole pack of LOVE for drum'n bass combined in one 3x12" feat. great sneaky remixes from known and unknown artists.

A new selection of discoveries by Heavenly Sweetness crew through the worldwide web (Blog, website, Bandcamp, Soundcloud...). For many artists, the web is the only way to spread their music, without the help of any records label. So we dig deeper in the blogosphere to find new artists....

A) Rush
Anthemic, rolling bass and keys duelling with soulful dubby vocals. Rush feels like 80's Michael Mann neon cityscapes filtered through a sound system in a battered Land Rover. A classic Various Production release that will floor fill and put the beat in a Jeep.
B) 01110100-01110010-01110101
Sweet binary truth, featuring a hook that recently had D Damage geekin' out on a metronomic cloud. Not murky, more a dark digital crevice found inside a field of ones and zeros. Taking inspiration from the classic Hungarian soundtracks of Panta Zorán , A Various Production track that is a study of electronic purity.

The 4th release from Ljudverket introduces a new artist to the label; Vesa-Matti Kivioja brings us a 7-track journey into sound on his debut vinyl 'Lopun ajat'. Dark and mysterious all the way, this record follows the path of eclectic sounds with nordic flavor that Ljudverket has provided so far.

Hand stamped second release on Peverelist's Livity Sound label. Vinyl only. Livity Sound (live) ft Peverelist, Kowton & Asusu

Music by Dominick Martin, Drawings by Craig Richards. Limited to 300 Vinyl pressing. DJ support from: DJ Zinc, T++, Mistajam,
Skream, Jamie Hypercolor, Soulclap, A Sagittariun, Flight, Spectrasoul, Klaus Fiehe Om Unit, DJ Marky, Joszif.

When it comes to freshly skewed and eminently weighty dubstep beats, Innamind Recordings' reputation as a leading vinyl platform
for the sound is growing by the day. The team of artists they have assembled all operate with the same ethos of building raw, highly
individual soundsystem music, and no-one represents the creative vision better than the precociously talented Gantz. Undoubtedly
one of the most in-demand producers in the scene, Gantz innovates and causes dancefloor ruckus in equal measure; ask any
discerning head to cite their favourite producers of the moment and Gantz will be mentioned more often than not. With that said,
Innamind Recordings are excited to be releasing another pair of gargantuan riddims from the Turkish badman for their fifth record,
due to drop this July on 10' and digital formats. It's a two-pronged sensory attack featuring the tussling polyrhythms of 'Lyrical Trick'
and the battle-ready, anarchic dread vibrations of 'Stayer', a pair of leftfield club tracks built with Gantz's unmistakable stamp of
ingenuity. The latter builds moodily like a brewing storm, as swarming orchestral tension floods an expansive soundscape, dense with
plunging basslines, FX-doused paranoia and percussive minimalism. On 'Lyrical Trick', Gantz throws any conventional ideas of drum
arrangement out the window and delivers a perplexing but obscenely heavy example of pure sub-frequency rudeness, full of complex
syncopations and propulsive energy. Support from all the usual suspects, and absolute 'system devastation guaranteed.

London bass-smith Rob Burn, after February's single tease, delivers his full Infinite Machine wax debut, under the moniker iO Sounds.

The A-side features "AFDW", a UKG house interplay of dancefloor-rousing vocal stutters and goosebumps-inducing R'n'B melismas, and "Tough Luck", which we've previously described as " a tour-de-force of everything of superlative appeal in electronic music nowadays", and which has not disappointed upon thorough club testing.

The B-side rocks "Bag of Snakes", which builds upon the style of the A-side tracks, while sneaking in more pervasive tech-house elements and a serpentine (wink-wink) progression, and "Always Something", a soulful next-gen deep-house number, featuring one of the most memorable hooks in IM's catalogue.

System music returns and are proud to introduce the unknown quantity that is KARMA with his release How Ya Feel / Smear.
How ya feel is a beautifully crafted dubwise track which initially sounds like the old rhythm and sound tracks that became so
formidable in the 90's. Karma has managed to create a masterpiece in his use of reverbs and delays that sit perfectly within the track.
The melodic bassline sits effortlessly with the vocal which transcends whispers of jah love. The track has a rough, noisy edge to it
which is so missed in this stagnant digital era. This track is a one of a kind. Truly mesmerising.
Smear dub takes us back in time when wobbling baselines were dark and gritty. This is a straight club banger. Coki-esque in its
format smear dubs groove is in an ever changing whirlwind of bass that seems to get deeper further into the track . Serious
Soundsystem Music!

The juggernaut-like production force of Killawatt returns to Osiris Music UK this summer to release a two part EP featuring his most
exploratory sonic creations yet; the Opposing Rhetoric EP. Part 1 is awash with churning industrial basslines and grainy textures,
combining imperiously bleak sound design and chugging technoid vibrations. The barren ambient menace of Two Curious
Gypsy's sets a disconcerting tone before launching into the steely, kick driven propulsion of Static Tension, a lurching beast that
builds momentum through its increasingly intense layering, psychotic FX and insistent percussion. The lean and minimalistic Unit51 is
swung by broken beats, as interlocking drum patterns spar with taut synth stabs, staccato kick-punches and rolling sub-bass
pressure; the EP's most dancefloor inclined track that exhilarates with its fluid movement and kinetic energy.

Kromestar returns to Om Unit's Cosmic Bridge label with 2 Left-Of-Centre and forward-thinking numbers that combine depth and
innovation at different cadences to the norm!

Hailing from Hungary, Matyas Szalai aka Matt-U is
set to release his debut EP on Pressed Records
entitled Hammerhead' featuring Kyza Smirnoff,
Orifice Vulgatron (Foreign Beggars), Marger and
Illaman.
With support from the scenes leading artists,
including Skream, Benga, Mary Anne Hobbs, N-
Type, Kryptic Minds, Youngsta and Distance, this
long awaited EP is worth every minute of your
attention.
With both tracks Hammerhead' and Danger' being
exclusively play-listed on Skream & Benga's BBC
Radio 1 show, this EP explores the depths of deep
dark dubstep in 2013, incorporating Éire ambiences,
intricate bass structures and intellectual lyricism....

Described by XLR8R as "exceptionally high end (...) a confident slice of futuristic beat work" and by Vice's Noisey as "perfect for sound-tracking a dystopian future", Memory9's 'The Abyss Within EP' is now available on 12 inch vinyl from Mnemonic Dojo. On Side A is the title track 'The Abyss Within', a dark and bassy 90 bpm piece which pays tribute to the soundtracks of classic horror and sci-fi films, with cinematic harmonies and intricate layers of foley sounds woven into the beats. It's backed up with remixes from Om Unit, providing his signature blend of dubbed out textures with dancefloor-slaying certainty, and H-SIK, who switches up the vibe in a half-time jungle/idm flail. Side B contains two more originals: 'Escape the Ice' with gentle Rhodes woven through a frenzied 160 bpm juke riddim, classic snare rollers reminiscent of old school jungle and the unique touch of a prepared piano used as percussion, and 'Two Bodies of Venus', a 174 bpm exploration of modal harmony and melody, hypnotic synth lines, arpeggios and intricate 808 percussion rushes.

Legendary MC Dee Bo General, famous for his vocals on jungle anthem 'Arsonist', returns in collaboration with Audio Warfare's elite to bring a heavyweight selection of modern junglistical cuts.

HENK is back with a new 180 gr. vinyl album of Tone Bardo Therapy, the new moniker of Ion Ludwig. Open op and be surprised by the darkish down-temp sound filled with subtle guitar riffs, acoustic percussion and sensitive lyrics. Get your hands on this limited piece of art, covered in a metallic pressed cover.
