Cern releases the sampler to the forthcoming album 'Terminus' on Project 51. Cern describes 'Terminus' as 'an album that takes its roots from Techstep and funk driven D&B,' going on to say 'the album reflects the inspiration gained from his long standing admiration for producers like Ed Rush & Optical, Matrix, Konflict and Source Direct', incorporating the sound they represented at a time, in his opinion, when Drum & Bass was 'at its peak'

Not long after the first volume , this second wax from Absurd on the Kiosk Records imprint delivers the right dose of energetic groundshaking Dubstep for the Bass afficionados .

Marlon Sterling aka Equinox cements his reputation as one of the D&B scenes most versatile, single-minded and dextrous beat manipulators on his latest in a long catalogue of brain-bending releases. The incendiary opener to a now infamous Equinox & Bailey set at Technicality in 2003 - 'Meecha' finally sees the light of day. Originally completed in 1996 on an Amiga computer, the tune has lost none of its appeal 15 years on and it's all the better for the audible crunch on the amen beats. This is one of the very best tunes from Equinoxs unreleased DAT library, and that's saying something !! 'So many people out here who make different styles of music you know - this music is something that they feel'. The repeated mantra at the opening of the flip side prepares you for an altogether different experience to what went before. Made in 2009 but with a definite nod to the oldskool style, 'Your Love's So Cold' is poignant, heartfelt D&B at its very best. The arrangement deftly builds to a beautiful swell of echoed vocals, icey-atmospherics and rolling beats and bass. Just like the A Side, this one is certain to defy fashions and trends and will be just as moving in 2024.

THIS NEW LABEL COMES WITH A DECIDELY DUBBED OUT TRACK FOR THE REGGAE HEADS BUT ALSO PROVIDE A WICKED DUBSTEP RE-RUB ON THE FLIP! TIDYNESS

Veteran producers I.D. and Skinz (aka Baobinga) pull together two wicked cuts for Earwax. 'Most High' takes the dancefloor by storm while 'No Love' moves in a deeper, darker direction to compliment.

On the Edge are back with a new EP from Indigo! He first made his debut for On the Edge early 2009 with a collaboration with Synkro called 'Alabama' and 'Turning'. Then Indigo went on to produce 2 solo singles for On the Edge 8 and 9 that I would describe as true masterpieces. Dubby, Techno, industrial and gritty to the core! If you haven't checked any of those releases out, then I would say 'Not Alone', 'Home' and 'Cosmos' are all well worth a listen. He is one of the most talented producers I have ever heard and extremely diverse in production styles. He never sticks to formulas and his musical knowledge and passion for diversity really shines though in his music. 'Zero point' is a mix of wonderfully produced soundscapes that show us what Indigo is all about.DJ Support: Scuba, Russell Deeks , D Bridge , Reso , Spam Chop, DFRNT, Rob Booth Walsh, Dj RumDistal, Truth.

Fabio yet again digs deep to support some of D&B's freshest sounds. Dystopia / House Groove have
both won support the likes of Hype, Crissy Criss & Grooverider. Sato is an up and coming Producer from the North East who is
making waves with some of the games main players. Amongst others, Sato has gained praise and support from Goldie, Marcus
Intalex & Fabio. In 2009 one of the most respected producers in the scene stepped up on remix duties and Sato's ascent into the
limelight shifted up a gear. Breaks remix of Barn perfectly complemented Satos brooding sound but added a choppier flavour while
lending his top flight credibility. With an increasingly impressive list of releases to his name, look out for Turning Point on Ingredients
and Scorched on Future Thinking.

STABIL ELITE ist eine junge Band aus Düsseldorf. In den letzten
drei Jahren haben sich Lucas Croon, Nikolai Szymanski und

Gitarren geschaffen.

Renegades Of Jazz is the new solo project from German producer David Hanke aka one half of funk-duo Mash & Munkee. His tracks first started out as an experiment to try something new. David sent his first complete songs to UK producer Smoove whom within five minutes of hearing it, instantly signed Renegades Of Jazz to his new label Wass Records.

David's music is a mixture of vintage jazz sounds recorded in the middle of the last century, combined with modern break beats. "Karabine" represents the start of unique jazz sounds and is the first single release taken from the forth coming album "Hip To The Jive" to be released later this year. Karabine is an uplifting B Boy Jazz tune with an instant bass hook coupled with a tasty piano hook. Remix reinforcements come from Hungary's top-notch jam crew "The Uptown Felaz" who deliver a cracking dance floor version.

The Flipside is reserved for the hypnotic jazz-anthem "Apple Sauce" with it's infectious guitar lick. The remix is provided by Munich's Jazz & Milk Guru Dusty who shakes up the track with more Latin flavour and his unmistakable bass electronics.

This highly anticipated record marks the beginning of a new sound in the Jazz break beat scene.

How and why these two tracks got pushed so far back in the autonomic release schedule is anyones guess. These two cuts are arguably ASC's biggest to date (perhaps with the exception of 'The Touch'), and two tracks that go a long way in defining the early sound of the autonomic movement. Finally they are going to see the light of day however, news that is sure to satisfy the baying hoards of hungry autonomic devotees that have waited so long and so patiently for their release.Starkwood is about dancefloor as Autonomic has ever gotten and probably will ever get - the pounding kick drum, coupled with the rhytmical, shuffling tribal percussion is infectious and guaranteed to get heads nodding and bodies moving. Reform is on a totally different vibe altogether with its breathy vocal snippets and detroit-ish synths giving it a silky, sultry feel.

After visiting the north of bass music with the first ep 'Caterva goes up north', the french band and label I.O.T Records continue their journey from this time to southern bass music. For this new EP 'Southern' Caterva produces a track with the sounds clearly kuduro SALTA featuring MC Baal.

Terminal Dusk delivers the goods once again with TD025 split Control on 12inch & digital.

Critical Music marches forward, tapping into yet more new talent for 2011 resulting in an absolutely filthy D&B excursion that has had the likes of Andy C going ballistic for it. Hailing from Russia, Enei, who has already bagged himself an exclusive album deal with Critical, Eastcolors and Noel may be familiar with a few but with this release they look set to cement themselves in the collective consciousness of drum & bass aficionados the world over. 'Cracker' is rough, rugged and very, very raw. Ultra-tech D&B could be the term to use as the trio of producers come together to deliver what could possibly even be one of Critical's biggest releases to date. Full of sick mid-ranges, snapping drums and sneaking subs, this one is cold, dry and full of funk that'll have people full-on skanking around clubs until the early hours. Absolute gold. Enei then goes it alone on the more experimental 'Danger Dance', that intros with a sparse arrangement of stalking pads and fx that set the mood of unrest. In bounces a low-slung bass and it's away we go on this gorgeously glitchy, 808-laden ride that sits perfectly alongside the likes of Rockwell and indeedCritical. DJ support from Andy C, Alix Perez, Friction, Icicle, Cyantific, Nu:tone, Logistics, Rockwell, Lenzman, Hype, Jubei, Ulterior Motive and more.

The Agitators take a familiar James B lick and turn it through the peak time dancefloor blender and liquidise the funk adding a teaspoon of fluff on the needle for authenticity.

During the years Modulate Recordings has moved from strength to strength and now she picks up the pace with another piece of Italian DnB history. This double A sided 12 showcases the work of our most acclaimed Rome based producers Aeph, Dabs and Maztek from Subculture who recently signed for Renegade Hardware. MadBox is a blend of razor sharp beats, rumbling synths and 80s retro arpeggios with an amazing dubstep breakdown that will simply blow the dancefloor off. Floating is a relentless techy tune made with Mazteks unmistakable style and top-notch quality, showcased on State Of Minds Next Level podcast 001. All in all, this double single is awesome and these guys are a force to be reckoned with.. Check it!

Limited Solid Gold Vinyl. Following the opening of 2011 with our first 12 from Need For Mirrors comes this sub bass bomb by the husband and wife team of ASC & Vaccine. Both artists have recorded for Instra:mentals Nonplus label and dBridges Exit Recordings. Veteran producer ASCs 2010 album Nothing Is Certain for Non:Plus was without a doubt one of the most important electronic albums of the year, redefining the very limits of Drum and Bass and stretching the genres sound design to embrace other tempos. Machines has received high rotate play from DJs like Doc Scott, Loxy, dBridge, Instra:mental, Flight, Need For Mirrors, Presha and many more. The tune signals a new direction for ASC, this time aided by his incredibly talented spouse who adds a subtly funky bounce to the groove. The B side marries a vintage Photek approach with a Krustesque quirk and gives birth to a totally unique innovative sound. Essential! Release number 2 for 2011 from the Samurai stable precedes the debut EP from hot newcomer kiwis Tokyo Prose and the debut solo single from another kiwi Dose, who produced one of our biggest selling singles The Other Part Of Me alongside Trei in 2008. Also look for the rebirth of the Foreign Exchange series from Samurai Music and further releases from ASC & Need For Mirrors on Samurai Red Seal.

A two tracker of freshness from Boxcutter, aka Barry Lynn, a questing producer who was taking stylistic chances and constantly mutating his dubstep-based music, long before anyone thought it was time to start discussing 'post-dubstep'. This single precedes his new album 'The Dissolve', due out in April. 'Allele' builds from echoey drums into a tight juke-influenced drum pattern with lots of tight edits, before adding a vocal that hints at old school hardcore, wavering chords and drops, before the whole thing finally resolves into a restrained but ravey breakbeat. 'Other People' simply but effectively mixes hazy, live sounding 2-step drums with a lush bitter-sweet melody reminicent of the Drexciya offshoot TheOtherPeoplePlace, which glides subtly through a background of shimmering effects and delays.

RATVILLE is a new school dub band releasing their 1st album Dubs on the Corner in 2009, leaving serious after effects throughout the country. This time, GOTH-TRAD and DJ TUTTLE, east - west dubstep masters remixed the tracks to create a challenging piece of vinyl cut!! Remix was done by two artists, contributing to the spread of dubstep in Japan. As a host of Back To Chill releasing from UK's one and only DEEP MEDI MUSIK, GOTH-TRAD is now achieving worldwide prominence. On the other hand, leader of DUBSTEP RUDE, DJ TUTTLE is out to shake things up establishing a new label NODE with Akira Ohashi from Psycheouts G.
GOTH-TRAD's side modestly builds up till it finally rocks the floor in the latter half. May suit for outdoor performances. Heavy duty 808 type kick supporting bottom end with metal-like percussion and SEs floating in the air, DJ TUTTLE side is made for the darkest closed chambers to inhale the low frequency. This is the spearhead of dubstep made in Japan. Hands-on approach of the two made a sensational reaction with Ratvilleafs sound, pushing it to the next dimension. PUBLICRIDDIM is the Japannese independent label estalished in 2009 to hand down the forefront of the underground music scene to posterity.

LOrchestre Kanaga De Mopti is one of the best West African modern orchestras which originated from a wide range of state funding. In 1977 the Malian government-owned label Mali Kunkan released a series of LPs including this holy grail of Malian music, one of the most rare and sought after records from Mali, going for over $400 (US) on ebay. Finally this timeless classic is officially available again including fully restored artwork and audio, plus in-depth liner notes about Mali and LOrchestre Kanaga De Mopti.

In the 1960s, during the First Republic of Mali, modern orchestras were encouraged and promoted by Modibo Keitas government. Starting in 1960, Bani Jazz became the city and regions main orchestra be-fore the name changed to the Orchestre Rgional de Mopti in the wake of Malis Second Republic in 1969. At the end of 1970, the band published its first album under the name Orchestre Rgional de Mopti. This record clearly helped to define Moptis vibrant cultural heritage under the aegis of bandleader Sory Bamba. Trumpet player, flautist, traveller and songwriter, Bamba already had a strong musical experience when he took over the orchestra in 1969.

Around 1976, the Mopti orchestra became the Kanaga De Mopti, and in July of that year, after months of intense musical and cultural research in Malis capital, the orchestra visited the Radio Mali recording stu-dio in order to document its new musical evolution. Six of these songs were featured on the only album of Kanaga De Mopti released in 1977 courtesy of Mali Kunkan, an ad hoc label originating from the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Art and Culture. Stuck into the past but looking towards the future with its incredible mix of traditional and modern instruments, the Kanaga instantly touches and defines the highest levels of African music classicism.

Kapsize kick starts 2011 with 2 fresh cuts from a new label artist: L-Wiz. While L-Wiz is new to Kapsize, the Swedish duo are in no way new to the dubstep scene - drawing attention with killer tracks like Girl From Codeine City and the classic Girlfriend, the production pair have been making high quality dubstep tracks since the early 2004-5 days, even launching the first ever release on Dub Police! It is with pleasure that we announce Straitjacket and 4.42 Oz find a home on Kapsize! Keeping in the spirit of Jokers own melodic productions, L-Wiz take a different angle from their previous output - pushing layer after layer of perfectly produced synth lines in harmonic syncracy. Straitjacket is the more dancefloor focussed of the two cuts, with a sleazy, low-slung take on the purple sound we all know and love at Kapsize - while keeping it heavily weighted to provide bass fans with plenty of satisfactory rumble! Flip for the equally melodic 4.42 Oz which takes a more relaxed approach in vibe, taking things in a futuristic direction while simultaneously referencing the past. Beautifully produced elegant music that you will keep coming back to. DJ support from everyone from Plastician to 2562 as well as of course being a main staple in Jokers own sets last year.

Following NFMs superb debut 12 on Nu Directions in the spring, their sophomore release on the label offers something for everyone. Mosus and HLZs collaborative project has born fruit since its inception at the turn of 2010 with releases on some of the scenes premier labels. SGN:LTD, 31 and V Recordings are some of the imprints that have showcased their creations to date with many more in the pipeline. The Super Earth EP is a collection of the duos most creative work to date. A soundscape of musical textures, Panoramic Views and Screenplay explore the drum & bass boundaries, while Moving Pictures and Medallion are snappy bass-driven workouts for the dancefloor. DJ and Radio support from DJ Krust, Commix, Lynx, Logistics, Nu:Tone, Storm, Spirit, Digital, Sabre, Zero T, Lenzman, Artificial Intelligence & Flight.

Two lost classic dubs from Skream. Sweetz (2005 Flex), dating back to 2005, is really melodic and shows a significant Detroit influence, and Angry World, a cinematic and swung track in a manner most reminiscent of foundation dubstep pioneers Horsepower Productions. Both tunes hark back to the sounds formative early era, pre-Dubstep Warz. This is some real prototype riddim business, made without the need to pump-up big rooms full of upferrit ravers, yet still deadly as hell. Killer. The artwork features, at Skream's own request, a capture of the renowned Big Apple store, epicenter of the dubstep scene.

A. Sweetz (2005 Flex) B. Angry World

This is the first release from Throttler Recordings, with 2 tracks focused on the dark cutting edge drum&bass side. The opening is made by a smashing headbanger feeding the dancefloor with bass at 180. No hostages alive. Pure mayhem. On the other side awaits a forward thinking warstep built on sophisticated beats and surrounded by dark guilty ambience. A must have both for the living room and basement decks.

Chilled disco with a Yam Who~ rework

Following releases on some of the biggest labels in the game, including Liondub, XS Dubz and Digital Soundboy, we are very proud to present the Dub Police debut from Zero G. A no holds barred dancefloor bomb, Bring It will hit you right where it counts. Using the pared down elements with maximum efficacy, the growling bassline riff rips right through the core of the track like a knife. The thumping kicks and the snap of the cavernous snares heightens the impact, while the tight percussive shuffle maintains the momentum, wrapping itself around the bassline. On the flip, Bring It gets the remix treatment from long time Dub Police affiliate Subscape. Taking the originals infectious bassline and ramping up the energy levels on it even further, he delivers a hard-hitting sonic onslaught. Having risen to the top in the drum and bass world with his uncompromising production style, Zero G has proven his versatility with a series of impressive dubstep releases in recent years, taking down the tempo while retaining all the energy. Maintaining the same impactful approach that garnered him so much attention with his drum and bass productions, he has quickly become one of the biggest dubstep producers in the scene today. Collaborations with the likes of Benny Page and Marcus Visionary, as well as an array of solo releases, have come thick and fast, showcasing his singular skills on the buttons, and judging by this release there is plenty more to come from him!

Following the phenomenal "Separat/Izolat" single by Cosmin TRG, 50 Weapons proudly presents rising new UK talents Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka with 2 stunning collaboration works, merging classic Techno and House influences with UK Bass elements.

Nymfo has been smashing up the scene as of late with releases on legendary labels such as 31, C.I.A., Ram, and Commercial Suicide. He's also been busy DJing the globe making appearances at some of the world's most renown nightclubs including Fabric, Matter, and his own Red Zone. Proton Pack: Nymfo teams up with New Zealand's own Cern for the a side 'Proton Pack'. For anyone following Project 51 for the last 7 years this tune screams undeniable 51 funk. Off the Radar: This dropping bass line roller shows off Nymfo's mastery of the low end. A sick minimal warehouse vibe that stands true to the pure sound of drum n' bass. Look out for the next 2 parts of Reboot the System, featuring Prolix, Audio, Blockhead, and the Upbeats. Also, look out for Cern's debut album on Project Fifty-One coming this summer.

DJ support from Friction, Icicle, Alix Perez, SpectraSoul, Ulterior Motive & more.

fter 3 smashing EPs on Boysnoize Records, remixes for Chromeo, The Faint and The Teenagers and live gigs with Soulwax, Trevor Jackson, A-Trak, Ivan Smagghe and the Ed Banger Crew, Shadow Dancer finally present their long awaited debut album. "Golden Traxe" is a culmination of the UK duo´s electronica, cut-up techno, acid house and space disco sounds.

art 2 of the Vinyl Eps' featuring tracks taken from their debut album, 'Broken Silence', on their own Siren Records has been doing damage on the DJ circuit for some time now. Tracks such as 'Gumball Rally' and 'Broken Silence' have been staples in the sets of everyone from Andy C to DJ Marky to Fabio and Chase and Status, as well as the new breed of artist producers such as S.P.Y, Spor and Jubei. Over the last 10 years Universal Project are responsible for hits such as 'Vessel' on the Virus imprint, 'Haunted Dreams' on their own label Universal Project and an EP on DJ Hype's True Playaz, as well as 'Streetilfe' with DJ Friction for Advanced Recordings and many Renegade Hardware smashers such as 'Danger Chamber', 'Comin' Thru' and the Black Techno EP. The Universal Project sound is B-Boy breaks with techno elements and dubwise bass, and everything in between. Vicious Circle broke through in 2005 with their monster remix of Universal Project's 'Jackhammer' and have been destroying dancefloors ever since with their unique sound. Releases such as 'Between the Lines' and the 'Welcome to Shanktown' EP on Renegade Hardware pushed them to the forefront of the tech dnb scene. Subsequent releases on Digital Soundboy, Critical and Quarantine displayed a diverse style that has helped establish them as heavy hitters across the board whilst collaborations with high profile artists such as Chase & Status, Dom & Roland, Fierce and most recently Jubei clearly demonstrate the respect they command from their peers. After spending a lot of time in the studio together Vice and Ruxspin decided to create a new guise for their own brand of rolling future funk. Siren is the result. Both artists in their own right have toured the world from the farthest reaches of Europe to the United States and Asia, consistently destroying dancefloors and gaining a reputation as masters of their craft. The aim of this duo is to cover all styles within the scene and not be constrained by subgenres, whilst still maintaining a dancefloor ethos which is true to their UK roots.

his is Volume 1 in a series of edits straight out of the box from the Club Tikka club night in Hamburg/Germany. A firm, floor-filling favourite through 2010, the ITBs edit of ELO's "Evil Woman" is now available on a limited edition white label promo 12inch vinyl. Take your chance, this crisp version is a faithful tribute to the original and will not be around for long.

!!! repressed !!!
the heavy breakbeat version of this prodigy classic!!!

This is the third release for D Kill on his own imprint and this ones a stomper. It'll have the ravers bouncing off the ceilings with the clown step beats and analogue square wave bass.

D1 has once again come up with the goods, and delivered two brilliant old skool-influenced dancefloor tracks. 'Flood Of Emotions' featuring renowned vocalist Jenna G, showcases D1's trademark melodic sensibility, while maintaining the tough drums and pure bass pressure that makes UK bass music so exciting and impactful. Driven by a classic hardcore break, the track penetrates right through you while the uplifting melody, complimented by Jenna's vocals, washes over you beautifully. 'Bleeps To Broadway' takes similar rave influences, this time moulding them around tough, stripped down drums and futuristic bleeps. 'Bleeps To Broadway' is also accompanied by the 130 mix, which opens up the track, slowing the groove down and giving it some extra room to breathe.D1 was one of the earliest proponents of the emerging dubstep sound, and has remained one of the scene's most creative and exciting producers ever since. Responsible for a number of seminal dubstep tracks, he has been a long-time Dub Police affiliate and has had support from all of the biggest players in the scene, also releasing tracks on esteemed labels like Tempa, Soulja and Dub Files. He continues to push his sound forward and evolve with each and every release, and never fails to surprise! Judging on the pure quality of these tracks, 2011 is set to be a big year for D1...

'The Departure' throws away the now standard build, drop, build, drop breakdown structure of drum and bass to create an intense rolling soundscape of claustrophobic out of control intensity. Not for the faint hearted or the casual listener, this is true genre pushing madness at its best. Flip it over and 'The Arrival' manages to subtly straddle the divide between influence and invention to produce a track that will find fans both within and outside of drum and bass.
