Herbert House music fans will not be disappointed by this clutch of rare tracks, available for a short time on vinyl. After such an overwhelming positive response to Matthew Herbert's recent return with the Wishmountain project 'Tesco', Accidental records have decided to release this limited run 12' featuring some of the highlights of the original project., including the classic 'Radio'.
Radio was first championed by Djs such as Sven Vath and Westbam as well as being a club classic for legendary clubs like Fuse in Belgium. The track blasted its way in to nightclubs around the world despite being made only from 8 sounds of a beaten up plastic radio. In many ways it made Matthew's name, as someone ready to bring real and challenging sounds to the largely synthetic soundscape of club music while being unafraid to make people dance at the same time.

A UK dance music legend and pioneer, Wookie returns with his first new material in 6 years with '2 Us'. First making a dent with big club tracks such as 'Scrappy' and 'Storm', his crowning achievement was Top 10 hit 'Battle', Brand new label Space + Time snapped up '2 Us' to be it's first release as soon as they heard it. Radio support has come from: Annie Mac, Skream & Benga,Rob Da Bank, Toddla T, Nick Grimshaw & Friction.
"The legend is back!" - Annie Mac
"Set to be one of the tunes of the summer" - MistaJam
"A massive influence on us both" - Skream & Benga

Blakula is back, more intoxicated, broken-hearted, sad, horny, dazed and confused than ever. Each track tells a tale of doom and gloom, torment and desire, ecstasy and pain, painted with the darkest shade of noir color and the deepest red. As with the first record, Blackula's musical brew is eclectic: seventies' funk, Giallo and horror soundtracks, psychedelia, rock, contemporary classical, the avant-garde, no wave, free jazz & blues.

Hotly tipped 'Maximalist' Bobby Tank releases his debut Vinyl cut on MofoHifi records which includes the highly acclaimed 'Afterburn ' and exclusive track 'Vorpheum'.

2012 has been a busy year for Bobby Tank; his debut release 'Afterburn' on MofoHifi Records was quickly picked up by Zane Lowe on Radio 1, becoming one of most hyped records on UK specialist radio with over 60 plays across XFM and BBC Radio 1 over a three week period. Since then he has remixed AlunaGeorge, Rudi Zygadlo, DJ Fresh, Niki and the Dove and contributed a track to the upcoming Halo 4 soundtrack album. Tank has also been hitting the live scene with shows at Ibiza Rocks (W.A.R alongside DJ Fresh) and Field Day, to name a few.

Clearly influenced by UK dubstep, glitch-hop and 80s boogie, Bobby Tank's sound is buzzing with nostalgic synths, soulful, blenderized cut-ups, woven leads and atmospherics, thick with heavy bass pressure. The intent is disco, but the delivery method is dubstep.


REVIEWS / PRESS



Zane Lowe "Massive massive summer vibes from Bobby Tank. The track is called Afterburn. He calls himself a 'maximalist' I guess in reference to the fact that that track has a huge amount going on in terms of ideas and melody and sounds and dynamics, but look at the way he ties it all together: Wonderful." (Zane Lowe. BBC Radio 1 'Next Hype')

Sonic Router 'Its like that post coitus chill that comes just before sleep, or that 5 or 10 minutes just before the codeine comes on when everything's starting to almost float and soften at the edges.'

Stoney Roads 'An interesting release from ever-impressive UK label MofoHifi, Its not your usual dubstep deal; think Hudson Mohawke on steroids and you're somewhere close!'

The Guardian 'It makes mad maximalists like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke sound like stripped-down Delta bluesmen'

CLASH ' Colourful, outlandish, psychedelic Bobby Tank's music is a trip for the head as well as the body. New EP 'Afterburn' is a case in point - all outrageous dips and soaring highs, it seems to push things further and further with each passing second.'

Mixmag (Zane Lowe review of Afterburn) 'This plays around with genre and tempo. A monster of a record that is completely oblivious to what it should' sound like.'

K Mag 'Title track 'Afterburn' has already been getting widespread support and you can see why as it explodes in an utterly infectious rainbow of brash 80s funk, sickly cascading synths and warm vocals'

Eddie Temple Morris 'I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.... it ticks all the boxes for me it's got every musical genre in it; it's got Soul it's got funk it's got dubstep, some drum and bass little bits of garage it's got rock in their as well, I love it'

Chilling Deluxe - das sind feinste Ambient- und Chillout Sounds. Sich zurücklehnen und sanfte Beats an sich vorbeiströmen lassen und die böse Welt da draußen vergessen. Titel wie She loves Miami, Mellow Sun, Let's go to the beach, Sundown Party - ist da der Name nicht Programm Chilling Deluxe

'Coalescing the peripheries of dubstep, house, ambient and techno... ...'Fading' really exhibits his splendid musical atmospheres and
his eye for detail.' [Data Transmission]
DFRNT is proud to present his second album 'Fading'. Taking the deep dubstep-tinged sounds of his first album (2009s
'Metafiction') and expanding them in to house, techno, dub and ambient terrirories this is certainly a development of the DFRNT
sound.Following his first album, DFRNT had a string of EP releases, allowing him to explore styles from deep house to drum & bass, from
techno to ambient and beyond. 'Fading' is a conscious step forward in the Scotsman's career and marks his move from dubstep
towards primarily more deep house and dub-techno based sounds.
Clocking in at almost an hour and twenty minutes, DFRNT has opted to provide a strong selection of tracks here. Always conscious
of his presentation, 'Fading' will be available as a 6-panel digipak, with beautiful illustration from Alex himself.
To go alongside the album, DFRNT is also releasing a limited edition 12' picture-disk EP taking 'El Spirito' from the album plus an
additional two non-album tracks.

Limited 'Method in the Madness' poster and Dispatch stickers available for the first 50 buyers, exclusive to the Surus store.
The Gusto comes correct on the vocals once more! On The flip a track from the album we're most excited on! Octane & DLR collab with Cern on "Rawness". Listen in for some pretty insane drums. As standard the production once again from these guys has blown me away completely and I'm sure it will you too...
Carving their very own groove in the musical world; Octane & DLR (otherwise known as Chris & Jay) have been amazing us with gre music since 2010 having released on Renegade Hardware, Run DNB, Audio Tactics and of course initially and most regularly on Dispatch Recordings.This extremely talented duo have been beavering away in the studio for the last 12 months (and then some!) compiling an album which is now complete and ready to be unleashed.
Four select tracks in total from the album have been sent to DJ Friction and he's aired all of them on his BBC Radio 1 show to date the lead track from the album sampler release "Murmur" (co-written alongside Break) has now been aired 5 times across 5 different shows (thats a fairly good endorsement right there). The full 17 track collection will be released on CD featuring collab work alongside select artists such Break, Cern and EBK as well a
guest vocalists and MC's Fokus, Kemo, Gusto and Marion. Only selected tracks from the 17 are being pressed to vinyl.

A track from our imminent Jukebox Mambo comp of hot Latin R&B crossover numbers, Percy Mayfield's 'Louisiana' is a typically haunting tribute to the swampy Bayou state of his upbringing, set to an energetic Creole rumba and a cool horn riff. On the flip side, something very interesting, this the original demo version of 'Hit The Road Jack' as sung acapella by Mayfield and submitted to Art Rupe at Specialty records. Specialty was winding down operations at the time but somehow one Ray Charles got wind of the song. Ray had been a long time friend and fan of Mayfield, and obviously heard something in the demo. He opted to record it and the rest falls into history as 'Hit the Road Jack' became one of Ray Charles' biggest ever sellers and perhaps even his signature song. Few people would have realized that the composer was such a talent in his own right, our own Percy Mayfield, 'the poet of the blues'.

Music made with memories from the past and from the future, extending the space beyond that which illuminated is during sleep +++ Sun Glitters +++ Since Luxembourg and through recent months, Sun Glitters (aka Victor Ferreira), has becoming widely recognized internationally through the various themes he has made available on the Internet and from the various collaborations he has embarked with other projects, like, Steffaloo, Bermuda Bonnie, Purity Ring, Blackbird Blackbird, Niva, :Papercutz, White Denim or Lushlife. To his music have been associated expressions like: pitch-shifted vocal samples, lush melodies, ghostly digi-diva choirs, warm bass melodies, dense and relaxing beatwork ou downtempo and wonky beats. Every single track creates an atmosphere capable to involve those who listen it, not dissuading the horizon provided by the present, but pointing a fresh and bright direction even though it is far from the sea. Each theme is composed by tiny sound particles, in which rhytmic layers are worked to - sequentially - build the space, as does the body of a dancer, alone and naked, having the world as stage. Taken together, portray appeals from the unconscious, integrating them under a loop matrix of sound that does not foreshadows the existence of a nightmare. With this record we retake the path that take us to the beach from a city where we have to tremendously approach from things so we can look beyond itself and beyond the fog. On this trip, starting and arrival points matters and all that can be imagined from them along the path. Memories from the past and the future brightening the path on which it exists. The body recognizes itself beyond the skin and it is possible to feel the members stretching like ethereal matter that illuminates the darkness beyond the existing dreams.

Wrong is Quentin Dupieux's new movie, the director most known under his musical alias, Mr Oizo. During summer 2011, while he was wrapping the movie, he started as usual to compose its score. He then had the idea to fulfill it with four hands, with David Sztanke aka Tahiti Boy, a French eclectic pop artist recently met on Twitter. Indeed, Mr Oizo, in a typical extravagant generous gesture, offered through the social network three mythic beat machines, including a TR-808 for which Tahiti Boy (among others) showed great interest. Tahiti Boy seemed to be the most suitable to use it with relevance, and the two artists became friends on this occasion. Mr Oizo then had the idea to entrust Tahiti with the completion of Wrong's score. Settled in Quentin's parisian apartment turned into a studio, David resumed the few compositions already directed by Quentin, and finished and completed them with others (on which he sometimes used the famous TR-808).Supervised by Dupieux, who approved or disapproved the proposition in a clear-cut manner, the work progressed fast and fluently.Then, by the end of the year, the two artists reunited to adapt and shape the compositions in an album format, that you now have in your hands.After 'Steak' and 'Rubber", this is the third score from a Quentin Dupieux movie to be released on Ed Banger, and we found the particular atmosphere the first one already had ; in the same time modernist, iconoclast and crossed by winks to the big tradition of Original Soundtracks made in France in the 60s and 70s.

Wieder einmal steht Tame Impala-Sänger und -Mastermind Kevin Parker als zentrale Figur im Schaffensprozess der neuen Songs im Vordergrund. Beinahe das komplette Album wurde von ihm in diversen Studios, Hotelzimmern, Flugzeugen und Häusern rund um die Welt aufgenommen und produziert. Nach dem Motto 'never change a winning team' setzte Kevin wieder auf die Kompetenz von Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, MGMT) an den Mixern. Der Sound von "Lonerism" erfindet sich nicht komplett neu, sondern scheint eher neu-skizziert und erstreckt sich über weitere Ebenen als zuvor. Die größte Neuerung stellen die Synthesizer dar, die kosmische und sphärische Formen in nahezu jedem Track hinterlassen, zusätzlich zu den immer noch schneidenden Gitarrenriffs, dem taumelndem Bass, den steinigen Schlagzeugrumpeleien und Kevins einzigartiger Art zu Singen. Mit "Lonerism" machen Tame Impala den verdienten und konsequenten Quantensprung nach Vorne auf dem Weg, auf den sie sich mit "Innerspeaker" begeben haben.

This is a first Album released by Timmion Records. Now released on a CD format with three unreleased tracks. These tracks are from the same era, but were never released before.

The duo has crashed onto the dancefloor with a sound that is truly unique to them. Using a combination of different software packages and techniques they are creating sounds that are really turning heads.



While pushing out to all avenues of drum and bass they are starting to mould their own sound within the genre but still keeping it fresh and current. With a load of releases set for this year and beyond ILL HAZE is definitely a name to watch out for!





A)Ill Haze - Bat Country

The sharp techie beats and monstrous basslines blend together to make a unique mix that is guaranteed to get the heart's pumping and the bodies moving. Straight from the edge the dark synths and delayed effects create an eerie atmosphere that builds up until the bats start screaming. As the meaty drop opens up the building doesn't stop there, it twists and turns and keeps up the pace the whole way though. With a mixture of jump up and techie styles all rolled into one tune there's something in there for everyone! Grab it while it's hot!

After exploding in Japan, expanding in SE Asia and steadily developing in France and Europe, Kitsuné felt it was time to get closer to the USA!

For the first time, the Parisian emporium has compiled a quirky, eclectic selection of fresh new US artists. One album full of the stuff that we like most: good songs and big talents yet to be discovered, from indie bands to dance producers and whatever can fit in between.

Covering the many bases of electro-pop, indie-dance and everything in between, Kitsuné America offers a lively snapshot of what is cooking up for 2012 in the US!

With the label and brand celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, it was also the perfect timing for the opening of the new Maison Kitsuné boutique in New York - at the NoMad hotel in April - to be precise, and the kick off of the second Kitsuné Club Night US Tour including stops at SXSW and Miami WMC!

Collaboration Part 5 sees an unholy trinity between some of the hard drum & bass scene's most prominent figures. Counterstrike & The Panacea - Free MDMA is a hard summer rave anthem. A melodic intro with old-school vocals drop into a reece monster. It will have the front row gurning for more. Counterstrike & The Panacea & Robyn Chaos - Thunderstatement sees the making of a perfect storm. This crossbreed/drumstep track has been in every A-list hard drum & bass DJ's set for the past 6 months. Prepare to get your head pounded in.

Translation Recordings is proud to unveil its summer 2012 project capturing all moods sublime with the 'Universal Grooves LP'. A limited press on transparent blue vinyl, this special edition 12inch showcases a diverse sampling of Translation's full album that will not disappoint. The A-side brings the thunder showcasing the heavy hitting, rolling and dubby sounds of Loxy and Resound's 'Civil War' and Theory's calculated genius behind the ragga and amen tear-out, 'Final Confrontation.' Flip to a switch in vibe as DBR

Waves on Canvas is the brainchild of Italian composer Stefano Guzzetti. 'Angel' is the debut single and features the vocal talents of Louise Rutkowski (This Mortal Coil) who delivers a beautiful haunting vocal that compliments Guzzetti's orchestral backdrop.
The b side is remixed by John Fryer (The Hope Blister) who provides a lush dubbed out remix. The forthcoming album 'Into the Northsea' will feature many artists including Louise Rutkowski (This Mortal Coil / Craig Armstrong / 4AD), Ian Masters (Pale Saints / 4AD), Pieter Nooten (Xymox / Michael Brook / 4AD), Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster / Harmonia / Brian Eno).

Airhead continues to impress and confound with his run of releases on R&S. His last release 'Wait/South Congress' found itself gaining praise right across the board. It showcased his atmospheric guitar styles as well as his deft programming skills, resulting in some trying to pigeon-hole his sound in a post rock/electronica direction. This EP proves it not that easy to pin him down with two new tracks of fresh club music. Pyramid Lake again showcases his expert manipulation of samples, but this time weaves them into a drunken dance groove, full of whirring percussion and heavy bass. Black Ink is a bubbling, percussive roller that in the hands of a lesser producer would sound like a traincrash. It bounces along almost out of control and sucks you into its charms until it hits you with some uplifting, haunted chords, at which point it's impossible to resist. Tracklist A. Pyramid Lake B. Black Ink

Basic Soul Unit has been a fixture on Toronto's techno scene for the best part of the last decade, with releases on Mathematics,Crème Organization and Mule Electronic, while Skudge have made their name with a unique sound and an independent approach which has seen most of their material released through their own imprint. Both artists show an interesting insight into Boddika's curatorial approach for the label, and are indicative of the move towards 4/4 techno that the producer has been making for a while now with both producers sharing a similarly weighty, yet deep approach to the genre that Boddika has been moving towards in his
recent collaborations with Joy Orbison.

The second instalment of the limited edition, single-sided vinyl-only WX/WL white label series sees Compa come with another serious

considered essential material for any DJ's record bag.

DJ Kentaro is back! Mit "Contrast" meldet sich der DMC Championship 2002 Sieger und begnadete Turntablist mit seinem zweiten Album zurück! Der Japaner, der 2007 mit seinem Debütalbum "Enter" auf Ninja Tune für mächtig Aufsehen sorgte, veröffentlicht nun endlich sein von vielen Fans langerwartetes neues Werk "Contrast".

'Manaré treats his productions as any other stuff he's involved in, like the 'Fresh Prince of Paris' that he is. Just one hearing of this new EP and you'll understand what Manaré has to say: a lot! 'Quartz' is a deep technoid House groove full of rooted vibes, what some call organic sound, which will takes you on a journey to a future motherland. The filpside 'Down To Dis' is a heavy bouncing 808 beat, lifted by colorful chords and that fat loaded bass so cherished by the ClekClekBoom fam. This 2 tracks number combines an impressive wide spectrum of club music... a head nod guaranty, any time any place, whatever mood you're in.' Limited Edition Heavyweight 180g 12 Vinyl.

Audio Phreaks new Signing Archie Cane has been causing some seriously big waves on the Dubstep circuit of late and when you hear his music, you'll understand exactly why. A recent upload from UKF that is a collaboration with Dream has really got people talking! Here is his first Vinyl release to date and boy does it pack a punch! 'Kill Everything' on the A Side is a all out, in your face bass MONSTER! Gritty and technical low frequencies make up the production with heavy beats slicing through the track. 2 tunes that compliment the release very well. Don't miss out, I'm like you, very limited press on this one.

Last years TBG01 was charted by german DJane Ellen Allien and broadcasted by Gilles Peterson of BBC-International fame - amongst others. The second installment (with the slightly confusing catalog-number TBG04) changes its appearance from 'white-label 12 in a black & white gatefold cover' to 'heavy white vinyl in a multicolored disco-sleeve". The label's patron Arthur Boto Conley showcases the work of obscure 1980s producer Clifford Trunk. The lo-fi dance and ambient tracks origin from a tape which was hand to Conley by Trunk during a brief encounter at Düsseldorf's 'Ratinger Hof' in 1986. Depicted on the cover you can see Italian designer Ettore Sottsass' work for the fashion company Esprit's european headquarter which opened up the same year. Clifford Trunk was working for the Sottsass Associati from 1982 on and had a leisure time obsession for drum-computers and sample synths. What a serendipity! - Limited to 333 records.

James Clements / ASC is the kind of artist you come across rarely. His music is uncategorizable, constantly innovative and selfishly
confident, reveling in it's unashamed originality. There is no real genre this album sits comfortably with, in fact it stands firm as the
creator of a yet to be named new genre. This sound has taken what was 'Autonomic' and developed it into a sprawling, fluid,
kaleidoscope of textures and patterns that can not be compared to anyone operating in electronic music today. How many artists can
you say that about While compiling this album, James and I have gone through 3 or 4 drafts, mainly because there is so much
amazing music it has been next to impossible to refuse all of it space on the album. But what we have ended up with is my favorite
electronic album of the last few years at least. Having most of the tunes for over 6 months, they are still the most repeated tunes in
my playlist even now and I don't see an end to that coming any time soon. Now it is time to turn 'Out Of Sync' into a product and
release it to the world. There is a sense of loss as well as the excitement I have for the rest of the planet to hear it, but mostly a great
feeling of pride that I was able to share this project and experience with a visionary artist who is truly at the peak of his creative
power. To my ears, 'Out Of Sync' is afaultless work of truly original and deeply powerful music that will stand the test of time. I hope
you enjoy it at least half as much as I do.' - Geoff Presha / Samurai Music 2012.

West coast-inspired funk, modern dance music & classic analog electronics collide on this deepy funk collab. 5 tracks of classic 70s syth-funk meets grime /dubstep / bass, boogie meets hip hop. Full color pic sleeve.

For the 6th release in the Alignment series we welcome Bazil to the fold with with his solo 12' featuring heavyweights from many sets
over the last 12 months 'Monsters Grave' and 'Soulfire' featuring Vibronix.Bazil's production is influenced by the nineties "tech-step" era, in particular the likes of early Virus, Ram and Subtitles, blended with his own unique sound that he has been progressively carving out since his early releases.

New York's premier experimental Drum & Bass imprint, Offshore Recordings, teams with London's left of centre 170 bpm music tastemaker, Organic, to present the OSRORG series. The two combine mutual musical vision with a joint exploration of the subversive sounds. The creative essence of both New York and London are captured in this transatlantic collaboration- showcasing true urban breakbeat culture. OSRORG002A Daat - "Orange Line" Newcomers Daat bring a serene piece of music just in time for summer. One half of the duo, Jason oS, is no stranger to lush pads and beats with releases on Modern Urban Jazz and Counter Intelligence. A catchy lead line and
moody atmospheres are rooted atop a heavy 808 kick drum. Think of the musical marriage of David Lynch and 170 bpm, with a brooding baseline to keep it all grounded. For fans of Synkro and Indigo. OSRORG002B Daat - "Orange Line (Deep Blue Remix)" Before you ask, yes, it's "Deep Blue", Deep Blue. The legend has come out of
retirement to bless us with this amazing remix. He completely deconstructs the elements from the original and filters them through a completely different style. Deep Blue combines a collage of smooth glacial textures with hypnotic driving beats re-arranging the DNA of the original track. Techno nuances at 170 bpm.

It has been five years since DJ Distance first released the inaugural effort of his Chestplate Records imprint, a label that over the years has consistently delivered only the finest cuts of bass pressure from Distance himself and the talented Chestplate collective. As a follow up last year's Meanstreak EP, and to mark the 20th Chestplate release, Distance returns to the fray with a double A side 12' featuring two fresh tracks that have been damaging sound systems worldwide in his sets, combining superior sub bass architecture with vivid soundscapes in Distance's own inimitable style. The A side sees a track released that Distance has kept on lock down, only giving it a track name just recently, and a beat that has generated a fevered hype throughout the dubstep community. The Result of Sound is as epic as anything he has made before, layered with a rich tapestry of synths that wouldn't sound out of place in a 1980's sci-fi film score. The track develops with menacing, tearing mid-range riffs and purposeful, no-nonsense drum work to form a hard hitting masterpiece of a tune, showcasing Distance's innate musicality. On the flip, Deserted ramps up pace with tough rolling basslines and a backdrop like a Halloween nightmare, and this one is guaranteed to mash up any dancefloor, leaving bass bins shuddering under its intense weight. As per usual, support from the biggest names in dubstep including Icicle, Hatcha, Cyrus, Tunnidge, J:Kenzo and Vivek.

District's second release on the mighty Chestplate has been tearing up dancefloors worldwide. This has been getting big support from Youngsta, Icicle, J:Kenzo, Tunnidge, Distance, Ntype.

After taking Drum & Bass, and indeed the entire electronic music scene by storm last year with the genre bending 'Marka' on Exit
Records, the power duo of Dub Phizix & Skeptical have been kept busy taking their unique hybrid sound on the road with DJ
appearances all over the world. Musically, there have been follow ups from both parties, but now Samurai Music presents the full
follow up single to 'Marka' from the duo with 2 vocal dancefloor weapons laced again by talented Manchester MC's. 'Run It Like The
President' is a stepping slab of menace that T Man laces with his unique monotone delivery, a tune that is already spawning bootleg
like a virus before any release was in sight. 'Half Man' takes slices of Dancehall, Hip Hop, Drum N Bass, covers them with an
infectious Sparkz rhyme and churns them out over a staggering triplet rhythm set to confuse DJ's but ignite dancefloors. Kept tight t
our chests until now, this 12' is set to explode across radio waves and DJ playlists the world over. 'Run It!'

This record is only available on single-sided, multi-coloured splatter effect vinyl. Limited to 250.

Celebrating a landmark tenth release, Biscuit Factory Records brings two absolute stompers. The A side is Creature, a LAXX and Farkas collaboration. On the flip LAXX and Soap Dodgers team up with Hi Rolla.
Creature is a 4x4 combo with a smooth hypnotic vocal that drops into a heavy bassed, techy roller. The Biscuit Factory is set to full speed on this one with industrial synths and weighty stabs crashing over the raw upfront bassline.
Hi Roller is a dance floor club smasher. Dark robotic basslines and pure weight make this a perfect flip to Creature. The low sub bassline and hard punchy drums combine with light melodies in the breakdown to make a track that turns speakers inside out and shreds clubs to pieces.Creature and Hi Rolla have been a staple in Walsh's sets over the last few months, destroying raves across Europe. Huge support also coming from N Type on his weekly Rinse FM Wheel and Deal Records show, Hatcha (KISS FM, Sin City Recs) and Skream and
Benga (BBC Radio 1).

First he teams up with long-time collaborator Face T for the bass heavy 'What', let's just say sleng teng in a 2K12 style. On 'Festival' he channels African influences into a summer carnival workout and then flips it for the slower reggaeton-inspired 'Ladrillo Por Ladrillo' featuring Boogat on vocals.Finally there's a monstrous contribution from Walter Ego, a burning hot newcomer from the furnaces of the Steel City (Sheffield, UK). 'Sidney St' is a slab of futuristic grime named after the street where the legendary Niche club was held.

Gregory Isaacs, Reggae superstar, has left an unrivaled legacy. Report, taken from our Gregory Isaacs remix album, is yet another
testament to that. Curtis Lynch boosts this bassline driven track to the max, as Gregory enquires of his lady's whereabouts the
previous evening. Marcus visionary once again takes the reigns for the dnb mix.

6 years ago, Misanthrop & Aqua Luminus III. released the "Leinwand EP" on Audiac Records (an early subdivision of Equinox Records) as a 10inch picture disc. With their new collaborative offering, under the self-explanatory title "6 Years Later EP", the two producers combine once again.The formula for their music has stayed the same: heavy beats, alongside raw cuts and samples blended together to create another banging electronic Hip-Hop release.

Additionally, the German turntablism legend DJ Stylewarz is cutting on "The 1 Billion Euro Song" alongside Munich's DJ icon Al Rock.

Opening track 'Simple Words' unfurls majestically with its crisp, swaggering 2-step beat and the beguiling, echo-laden vocals of Lady Katee that will no doubt see the future garage scene sit up and take notice of this exciting new label.
'Palms' is a blissfully melancholic chorus of intermingling synths, cavernous sub-bass and Chicago footwork revivalist drum patterning that exhibits Hatti Vatti's impressive knack for creating magnificent retrospective futurism.
Stepping up on remix duties, the ever in demand ASC maintains the brooding, sentimental ethos of the original, replacing its high-octane kick drums with his own unique brand of delicate and off-kilter percussion, further confirming that everything this unparalleled producer touches turns to gold. limited clear vinyl pressing.

Vinyl only album from Soul Junction artist Jesse James, ft. previously unreleased tracks_

Wir wissen wirklich nicht, was alles im dänischen Trinkwasser landet, doch irgendetwas muß verantwortlich sein für den reißenden Talentstrom, der diesem Land entspringt. Man denke an WhoMadeWho, Jatoma, When Saints Go Machine oder Kenton Slash Demon: sie alle teilen einen ähnlichen Sinn für strukturale Komplexität, erlebbar gemacht durch Emotion und puren Willen zum Floor. Diese Leute haben ihre Scheren im Kopf schließlich schon vor längerer Zeit im Altmetall entsorgt und lassen nun umso befreiter die Hookline kreisen. Tatsächlich gehören zwei der oben genannten Acts bereits zur Kompakt-Familie, die anderen beiden sind Klassiker der täglichen Bürobeschallungsmaßnahmen, da war es nur
eine Frage der Zeit, bis wir die nächste Trüffel im skandinavischen Unterholz aufspüren. Womit wir zu Taragana Pyjarama kommen, dessen Output als gleichermaßen raffiniert wie chaotisch wahrgenommen und von manchen schlicht als Märchen mit Bass beschrieben wird.

The second release of Downbeat Black label is for Vakula.
In A-side, he makes a homage to the brilliant artist, Kira Neris with a remix of his track With All is Might. The result is a super slow dreamy-house track with jazzy elements and steady progress.The second in A-side is Curve. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes obsessive and dreamer, it is the perfect addition to the Kira Neris remix.
In the other side, LBEAT is a slow piece of experimental 4x4 electronics with freaky percussion and a sick atmosphere. A naive piano provides the counterpoint to this unusual track.

As anyone who's been paying attention will know, Wilkinson's rise to fame has been prolific. With a succession of incredible tracks, collaborations and remixes, this talented producer has proven he can cut it at the very top of the drum & bass game. Tracks like 'Moonwalker' and last year's anthem 'Every Time' have tipped him as one of the hottest properties around, while remixes for the likes of Nero, Chase & Status and Jess Mills have only cemented that reputation. With his latest single 'Automatic' / 'Hands Up!' Wilkinson continues that undeniable run of success with yet another floor-shaking, sweat-inducing pair of dance floor fillers. These ones are undoubtedly going to cause havoc this summer!

CASPA's influence on the bass/dubstep scene is profound. His musical progression has marked him out as a key proponent in spearheading the sound internationally and the USA in particular.
As well as releasing his 2009 album 'Everybody's Talking, Nobody's Listening', CASPA runs three labels (Storming Productions, Dub Police and Sub Soldiers) producing dancefloor bomb after bomb, tours around the world, and hosts a bi-monthly night at the world famous Fabric nightclub (he recently played back to back with confirmed fan Skrillex). His remix skills are in higher demand than ever, remixing for the likes of deadmau5, Miike Snow, Swedish House Mafia, Depeche Mode, Katy B and most recently a killer remix for Plan B's 'Ill Manors'.

1000 VINYL FOR THE WORLD! Unreleased Autechre album from 1991, regarded as a holy grail of a record.

This recording contains 7 remixes by Mark Fell of the first three 12' singles released on the record label Sensate Focus in 2012. These were called '10', '5' and '3.3...'. The first of these, '10', was itself a reworking of materials from an earlier project by Fell and Terre Thaemlitz, released on Comatonse Recordings in 2012. The 7 remixes were written and recorded in June 2012 at the Upper Lounge, Chatham Street (UK) using a MacBook Pro running Digital Performer, FM8 (featuring manipulated DX100 and TX81Z presets), Battery and Razor; monitored and mixed with Sennheiser HD 25 headphones. Here hand claps are constructed from the Roland TR707 clap, two copies of which are detuned and panned hard left and right, with an additional Yamaha RX11 Clap 2 panned centrally; kick drums have been constructed with the Roland TR707 Kick 1 pitched up with bass content attenuated, overdubbed with samples from vinyl derived, it is assumed, from the Roland TR909. Two hi hats are used: the Yamaha RX11 Closed Hat 1, and a sample from Bassmental's '2 Daye Revisit (Kerri Chandler remix)', released on Nite Grooves, 1994. Recommended contextual materials include: 'Can You Feel It (Dubby Dub Marc Kinchen remix)' by Chez Damier, released on KMS, 1992; 'Hard To Get' by Choo Ables, released on E-SA records, 1993.

William Bennett - founder and sole constant member of Whitehouse - earned considerable acclaim for his reincarnation last year
as Cut Hands and the release of the album Afro Noise Vol.1. His sophomore full-length in this guise, Black Mamba, is due out
on Susan Lawly in Autumn; to herald its arrival, Blackest Ever Black is releasing it's thunderous title track as a 12" maxi single.

On the A-side Africa's deadliest, most beautiful snake breeds with insane, vaudou-obsessive polyrhythms to give birth to
the monstrous, consuming, convulsive 'Black Mamba' - without doubt the most potent manifestation of Cut Hands' malign
energy yet. On the flip: 'Krokodilo Theme', an extraordinarily pensive, heart-rending piece first aired on the soundtrack of
last year's Siberia: Krokodil Tears documentary.

This is a vinyl-only release; first edition of 1000 copies in full picture sleeve with original artwork by Mimsy DeBlois.

From the Horizon' is Débruit's debut album. It is the culmination of 3 years work, collecting field recordings, delving into restricted archives, sampling lost African VHS and reinterpreting discovered African melodies and rhythms, for synths and drum machines.This is a remarkable record, filled with groundbreaking combinations of style and sound, constructed with passion and energy, driven by adventure and ideological principle and packed with intrigue, authenticity and tribute. Perhaps even more importantly this record is fun, and never does its depth displace its energy, groove or feel.Inspired by Western African music past and present Débruit splices the musical roots and subsequent evolutionary patterns of Benin, Ghana, Niger, Nigeria and beyond. He set out to harness the creativity and rawness of the music, from tribal beginnings through to 70's highlife and psychedelic afro funk. Despite the clear inspiration, his challenge was not to emulate but to incorporate, to fuse the musical expressions of the many different cultures and eras with those of his own, to create something new and unheard.
Débruit's genre swerving approach to making music has always been unrestricted and on 'From the Horizon' he has deliberately created truly original pieces with unique combinations of instrumentation and style, in such a way that they feel natural, expected and time honoured. For example on 'Afro-Booty Musique' where traditional drums form a booty Chicago house structure and combined with talk box and guitar, or on 'Mega Wagna' where funk leads and syncopated vocals are coupled with Gnawa music (a mixture of sub-Saharan African and Berber songs, where one phrase or a few lines are repeated over and over and songs can last for hours.) Such diverse combinations can be heard throughout the record as can the influence of the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin whose advanced drum patterns are combined with Débruit's bump-hop beats and low-slung bounce. These African influences run concurrently with the ever present ideals of Hip Hop. Its openness to other musical styles via sampling can be consistently identified, never more so than in 'Cuivree' where African TV samples are crossed with lo-fi horns and 808 percussion or on Rêve Du Niger where an early recording of a throat singing child from Niger is looped, layered, re-sampled.Tribal rhythms and looping vocal samples appear in many guises, through the rattling high hats and sub bass of sonically flamboyant party starter 'Akoula', amongst the haunting, distant synth scape setting of 'Ouest Wind's Seagulls' or in the epic closing piece 'The Day I Lost My Funk', where African instrumentation pre-empts a climaxing finale of deep electronic bass and 808 kicks.
This stunning debut deserves repeat listens and much contemplation. Indulging in its many dimensions is continually rewarding. Its true excellence is in the effortless enjoyment that it provides, engaging listeners on many levels, without its depth ever becoming a barrier, providing pleasure for all, from the casual listener through to the seasoned ethnomusicologist or surrealist philosopher.

On the A side we have a track from 2 guys who surely need no introduction! Here they both inject some real soul into the intro right
from the word go on "Lastik" and its done in such a way that takes us back to Dillinja's early soulful offerings on Deadly vinyl / Logic
productions back in the early 90's, the track then progresses on and kicks into a cut-throat and insanely well produced drum & low
end work out. If this number doesn't make your head nod vigorously surely nothing will!
On the AA side Halogenix; quickly after appearing on Dispatch with his superb track 'Laika' jumps on Dispatch's sister label Dispatch
LTD with another blinder in the form of "Raya"; its a very technical rolling bit of production with a dash of oriental soundscapes
thrown into the mix to give the track an eerie feel before slamming in on the drop some pure reecy sub warmth and insanely tight
drums.

Harder, faster, more guitars, more growls. Whourkr is Igorrr's metal alter-ego, and '4247 Snare Drums' is this act's third full length album. The product of a painstakingly long recording process by two musicians who are already seen as some of the hardest-working perfectionist in the scene, it is also a towering culmination of extreme metal run through equations, growls laid down mathematically, and guitars calculated for maximum efficiency. Polymorphous, violent, absurd but also extremely detailled, here comes the deadliest, ugliest and most precise sow-metal you could imagine.limited clear vinyl 2x12"

This August Blu Mar Ten releases the third and final episode of a three-part series of remixes
from their album 'Love is the Devil'. Part Three features reworkings from BCee and Sunchase
Blind Soul feat. Stray (BCee remix) - One of the most popular tracks from the Love is the Devil album, Blind Soul, gets a sublime revision from Spearhead Records boss, the legendary BCee.
Accentuating the original's choral and melodic components, Bcee blends a brand new vocal line into shimmering synths and melancholy keys, underpinning it all with his trademark ultrawarm bass work and loping breaks sprinkled with vinyl crackle. A true sunshine anthem, expect to hear BCee's Blind Soul remix plastering a smile on the faces of crowds at all respectable events this summer.Damage (Sunchase remix) - Ukrainian wonderkid Sunchase takes Damage in a significantly darker and less organic direction,stacking growling bass on top of growling bass before lashing out his best industrial breaks. Whispering voices haunt the breakdown before giving way to dark metal stabs and a frenetic drop to die for. An instant tech-noir classic.
BMT009 will be available as a strictly limited 12' pressing together with mp3s. This will be a single-run only with no repressings. Full sleeve artwork by resident designer ithinkitsnice.

Task Horizon are set to begin a new chapter with their new label, Evolution Chamber Recordings. With an uncompromising goal to release music of the highest quality, Evolution Chamber has allowed the producing duo to show their full creative might, giving them total artistic freedom of both their music as well as its slick presentation. Featuring the intricate sounds of 'Da Vibe' and the fast-paced 'Cobra Khan' on the flip, Task Horizon and Evolution Chamber are wasting no time in firmly establishing themselves amongst the top new labels in the scene.
'Da Vibe (feat. MC Spyda & Rina)' - Task Horizon kick off Evolution's first ever release with the mighty 'Da Vibe', a joint effort between the Swiss duo, Rina and MC Spyda (from the Pendulum hit 'Tarantula'), 'Da Vibe' is a showcase of Task Horizon's trademark versatility and creativity. Beginning with smooth bass, chilled vocals and classic amens, 'Da Vibe' quickly transforms into a gritty drumstep number. An energetic blend of abrasive bass, uplifting vocals and complex time changes, 'Da Vibe' starts off Evolution's debut release with a bang.
'Cobra Khan' - A potent blend of originality and crystal clear production, 'Cobra Khan' has all the hallmarks of classic Task Horizon. Featuring an atmospheric introduction with distant, eastern-flavored synths and bold reese bass, 'Cobra Khan' builds into one of the most original unconventional tunes around. Combining venomous bass, deadly percussion and otherworldly synths, 'Cobra Khan' has already slithered its way into the most adrenaline-fuelled sets.

The Bank is a trio comprising of Francesco Brini, Domenico Loparco and Emanuele Zullo. Seriously good musician's with a love of afro & dub. These guys tour the world as the backing band for the acclaimed American singer / songwriter Jeff Jones. Brini has already built up an impressive catalogue of music himself, recording as Frank Agrario for Prins Thomas's Internasjonal and also as a drummer for electronic pioneers Swayzak.
After a heavy storm broke around Jeff's Lake Tahoe hideout, it was soon clear that they wouldn't be hitting the road anytime soon. This was a key moment in the construction of The Bank! They spent the time researching, sketching out ideas and extracting every last piece of funk from their fingers and thumbs.The Bank is drenched in vintage recording techniques but with an updated production that can satisfy any dance floor. 'Lagos Tahoe' sounds like Peter King jamming with Titanic but produced by The Bank. 'City Of The Dead' touches the dub switch with a polite ska rhythm that calls on hypnotic vocals which remind us of 80's band Maximum Joy. The Snatch' & 'Chic Disco' are like funk bullets bouncing off the streets of Manhattan, 'Zombie Nation' has a punky sharp synth bass that cuts through like a diamond encrusted blade. 'Fishsticks' is the low slung funk bomb which would make Donald Byrd proud.
All together these new Bearfunk signings have made a very raw undiluted album. They are custodians of their own sound which is heavily influenced by their influences. It's time to cash that cheque at The Bank!

The next release in Trojan Sound System's limited edition 12' series is 'Africa', a song written with Superfour and produced by Earl Gateshead and Daddy Ad. Road tested at jump up gigs and festivals throughout Europe this summer, 'Africa' is smashing dance floors left, right and left of center. With real instruments, real musicians and quality production, the result cuts through the Dance music and Reggae clutter to deliver an authentic Reggae and Bass Culture song that gets every floor moving and jumping.The song reflects the deep felt need which all people of African descent, now living all over the world feel for their original homeland. This desire was first expressed by Marcus Garvey, while he was living in the USA where he proposed the building of a string of 'Black Star Liner' ships, to take the people back to their motherland. Although the song concerns the wishes and hopes of Africans, anyone who feels alienated or dispossessed, can empathise with the yearning to be somewhere else, either on this planet, or beyond it, which underpins the track lyrically and musically.Aside from the original vocal track and instrumental on the outer cuts, the 12' also includes two killer remixes. Darkstarr Diskotek are legendary dance music producers, Ashley Beedle and Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, using their vast experience and talent as some of the world's most qualified DJs to stretch the original in to an extended dance floor arrangement and work out. The second mix comes from DMC champ and Drum and Bass and Dubstep producer extraordinaire, JFB, taking the musical vibe of 'Africa' into strictly bad bwoy Junglist territory.'Africa' will soon be released digitally as an E.P, alongside TSS's other 12' limited edition singles, with instrumentals, remixes and more exclusive tracks. See Trojan Sound System live throughout the summer of 2012 at festivals throughout the UK and Europe.

Parisian producer rocked downtempo beats for Yellow Productions, DJ-Kicks in the late 90s. 2 tracks from his latest LP lean more to the Latin side + remixes from Ezequiel Lodeiro (aka Dr. Stereo), Italian producer Suonho, Greenwood Rhythm Coalition.

For 'Quilombo Do Futuro Remixed', Maga Bo called upon the talents of a select team of top notch producers haling from several different continents. The original tracks united the organic subtleties of the Afro-Brazilian rhythms coco, maculela, samba, gong and capoeira with the punchy, powerful, electronic based sounds of dub, raga, hip hop and dubstep. The remixes take the tracks even further. Frikstailers deliver a monster digital cumbia remix. Uproot Andy comes with a crunk, bullerengue samba reggae. Subatomic Sound System brings a hypnotic dub rework. Stereotyp's remix is spooky, frantic burst of barefoot energy. El Remolon takes baile funk into trance cumbia dub territory. Sabo brings a sunny, uplifting vibe for the dance floor. Dr. Das injects noise and grit with a deep, deep bassline. Process Rebel treats coco to warm distortion and spacious reverb. Dub Gabriel offsets hard, one-drop dub and samba with political commentary on immigration. Digitaldubs drops a raw, dirty bass and rapid-fire funk programming. DJ Dolores' new project Stank, comes with a dubbed out samba reggae. Poirier goes deep on his tranced out jongo rework. Batida connects the dots between samba and kuduro.

Be The Music' and 'Nervous Energy' eschew Scruff's cheeky sampling of yore and put rock hard rhythms built up into driving polyrhythmic dancefloor mania. 'Be The Music' combines them with a kind of digidubbed b-line, while 'Nervous Energy' is built round a classic funk riff played as all-over body-wobble. The results in both cases are hypnotic, powerful, and hugely danceable.

Forward-thinking tracks full of sub bass, crisp chimes & claps, w/a soulful, emotional underpinning in a blend of R&B, cumbia, kuduro, & house elements. Label head Kingdom & Total Freedom provide the remixes.
