'Let It Go' is the third limited edition vinyl single from The Moons' critically acclaimed debut album 'Life On Earth'. The Moons, fronted by Paul Weller's keyboard player Andy Crofts, are a classic British pop band. Three part harmonies mixed with traditional pop sensibilities deliver a fresh take on the new wave mod sound

Welcome To The Sugar Show" is the second single from "Return Of The Auslnders", the new album by Torpedo Boyz.
Fatboy Slim meets the Monkees, pure breakbeat fun and dancefloor madness guaranteed! "Welcome To The Sugar Show" is the perfect companion to the early Torpedo classics "Gimme A Bassline!" and "Are You Talking To Me'''".
For this limited edtion 12inch release Lack Of Afro (Freestyle Records UK) delivered an authentic disco remix while Hungarians Infragandhi & Secta Chameleon decided to go for a future rave mix. Both mixes will only be available on this 12inch single.

A serious contender for this year's Filth Factor is Sanchez's fourth release, our greasy friend invited Counterstrike back and they gladly obliged, bashing out a force 10 slammer called 'Drone'. This rock solid filth smacks you hard in the face yet bounces more than Shakira's backside perfect for grinding on the dancefloor. On the flip, the one and only Axiom, delivers one of his trademark slices of nerofunk with 'Clairvoyance'. Claustrophobic sounds capes, razor sharp rhythms & bone shattering basslines make this tune an essential buy for any self respecting bass fiend. Sanchez says ''The low end on this track has loosened my bowels several times, dance near a toilet puto!

In 2003 D Minds released the dancefloor killer, T-10 on the prestigious Kaos Recordings label. Having gone back in on the production 7 years later and inviting a host of other esteemed artists to join them for remixes on this project, this smasher has been reshaped and dispatched for the current musical climate we find ourselves in. The true testament of a production is its ability to stand time, and the T-10 remix project has certainly dictated that this tune will be streaming out of soundsystems for some time to come yet!

Sunshine first appeared on Dubplate 2 years ago an instantly became an anthem. It was signed to Boka, but as the label came under new management Demon decided to take the tune elsewhere and it featured as an mp3 on Getdarkers massive 'This is Dubstep' compilation, but needed to hit vinyl so here it is. On the flip is a cheeky bootleg featuring R.Kelly's 'Bump'N'Grind' and a huge dirty drop. This Cambridge pair have definately delivered the goods. With support from the likes of Mistajam on 1xtra and smashing up clubs everywhere this is sure to be another banger.

Award winning DJ Sly teams up with long time buddy Pacso to churn out some tearing slices of up to date drum and bass on Micky Finn's 'Finn People' imprint. 'Its U Again' slaps you in the chest with clattering hits and gritty bass. 'Warm Dem' does much the same but has a catchy reggae hook on the intro! Get on this!

Well well well what have we here~ Its only release No.2, and already head honcho Jay Cunning is pulling out the big guns! This release see's Sub Slayers continue its mission to fuse Breakbeat, Dubstep and all manner of musical influences to push ting's dem forward. So make way for Gella & MC $pyda accompanied by Schema on remix duties.

Twinkle is one of the tunes that you just can't stop yourself dancing too, it's one of those that yanks the wall flowers on the floor. Girls and boys alike have been feeling its infectious lyrics over the last year in the sets of Jay, Gella and a select few - now its getting released! Twinkle is all about bashment, breaks, twists, vocal hooks and the all important VIBE - this tunes has got it all!

Unlucky for some number 13, but not on this techy imprint... as they bring the talents of 'halluncinator' who has an uncompromising style similar to the freak recs sound..
Both tunes are causing damage in the parties, with their hard hitting beats and pounding bass drones.

First 7inch taken from Jet Tricks second longplayer "All One Word". "Daddy Loves A Dancer", a fearlessly funky & frantic soul dancer featuring the organ sound of the mighty Lord Large comes along with a massive breaktastic cut courtesy of Bristol's Boca 45. Keep your eyes open for a string of more remixes from "All One Word"!

KG is back on Industry Standard for the first time since he helped launch the label with 'Lost and Angry'. This time he drops 'Counter Attack', aggressive, strong and ultimately a power track. Dirty Fingers unleashes his 'Magic' on the flip side, a first outing on Industry Standard following a slew of releases through Twisted Individual's Grid camp.

Majistrate steps up once again on Logan D's label Low Down Deep to hit us in the face with some disgraceful bass! When it comes to jump up not many people do it better and this is no exception. 'Plank Bass' with its punchy bass and tight breaks just annihilates the dance and on the flip 'Spiral' does exactly the same. Anyone for a dance~

Modified Motion hits the shelves with Faction again for this release on Dynamic Audio. Together they are jump ups favourite collaboration, penning hits such as '1 Up' and 'Magic Man'. With 'A New World' and 'System' you get served up just what you want, quality and dance-floor strength.

After over a year away Bassrock come back with a monster release showing exactly why they should've been missed! Label boss Paul Bassrock has let 3 scene heavyweights loose on his Hardcore Breaks classic "Dub Hooligan" and the results are pure carnage! Afghan Headspin are first on the re-lick and need no introduction whatsoever, this is exactly what you would expect, hard hitting hype bass music, straight out for the jump up crews , if you're a fan of what they've done on labels such as "Valium" & Cut La Rocs "Rocstar" you will not be dissapointed. Second up we have a sick roller from Matta, fast rising up in the Dubstep scene these guys have brought themselves to the attention of Radio 1's Kissy Sell Out who always endevours to champion their tracks . Last but not least Spanish legends Xim N Bass have taken their twisted and dark style and injected it right through the heart of this track, a nasty bass driven remix for when you've just gotta put some smiles on faces

Plaza De Funk steps up and drops gritty urban nu-bass on a 4am warehouse vibe, without a doubt "Keep Yo Head" is an uncharacterisable slice of DJ dancefloor heaven. Sidestepping genres and sitting comfortably within bassline and fidget sets while pleasing Breaks and Nu-Bass Djs alike. Keep Yo Head has MASSIVE crossover potential!!!!!
Flip for "Get Crazy" that rips the funk out of the soundsystem with phat breaks and devastating drums!!

Fresh from his massive release on DJ Die's Clear Skyz label, S.P.Y rocks up on Traffic to drop a polished twelve that bristles with thinly veiled menace. Stuttering breaks, high tension pads and bursts of static introduce 'Out Of The Blue', before unleashing the distorto drums and 20,000 volt bassline, laced with echoing laser stabs, and snatches of oldskool mentasm. On the flip, 'Eclipse' starts out innocuously enough, clouds of sound swirling about the springy drums, with dashes of dark rave flavour hinting at what's to come, a snarling, wild animal midrange that prowls menacingly across the dark landscape.

Sensai is one of the hottest new producers to emerge into the Dnb scene for some time. Already noted as one to watch this year by Zane Lowe and Grooverider (currently playing 5 Sensai tracks in his set) from BBC Radio 1 the future looks bright for Sensai. This is his debut release on Foundation Music and is the first of many tracks to be released by him on this label this year.

The French Dubstep keeps on developing!!
Astrofonik records are a French underground label and Silent Frequencies usually produce hardcore tunes, but here they bring us their first Dubstep tune Progressive and slammin' with bright snares... Nicely done with a cool techy flow !
2 tunes for the dancefloor, "Are You Ready" and "Going Roots" both have a cool ragga vibe, another DJ friendly tool by Silent Frequencies, one group of artists from the South of France to keep an eye on !!

ANOTHER PAIR OF WOBBLY BEASTS FROM THE SCENES TOP BOY!! SKREAM!!!!!
THESE TWO ARE A MUST FOR ANY DUBSTEP DJS BOX AND FOR ANY SHOPS RACKS!!

After making his first Viper appearance on our massive 'Acts of Mad Men' LP at the backend of 2009 with the futuristic funk of 'Under the Moon', Smooth makes his full single debut on sister label Viper V.I.P. and what an inception it is with two cuts of the highest order.

Hailing from Dutty Dover, this lot bring a 12" of massive proportions. 'Lomongo Doltroy' is a gruling twisting metallic lead that is held up by tough solid breaks, and eiry atmosphere accompanied by a deep scuzzy bassline. Suspect tempts the darkside in with 'Limb By Limb'. A deep and sinister roller, with squlechy sub bass that reacts to a murky sci-fi atmosphere. Switchdubs rounds up the 12" with 'Who Are Those Guys'. A snarling reece that sits on a halfstep rhythm, switching to a stomping 4x4 beat and then back to the halfstep.

Sensai and Heist and Dr Dub smashed the place up with an inimitable mash up of heavy hitting beats and bass on the last Calypso Muzak 12'', and here we have Steppa and Kitcha to bring the pace up even further. 'Belly' is no nonsense drum & bass, filthy, aggressive, but most of all fantastic dancefloor fun. Opening with simple hi hats and a cheeky sample, it's not long before the drop heralds utter devastation. Meanwhile, over on the flip side, 'Jaws' takes things up a notch further. Pure energy seeps from every pore as Steppa and Kitcha smash the living shizzle out of it with grinding bass and face pounding drums.

Basswerk, officially Germany's no. 1 drum & bass label, presents the inspirational debut artist album from Subz & Matik two of the country's most talented but understated producers in the game. 'Low Pressure Area' is a beautifully crafted, organic album full of dubwise beats, effortlessly chic jazz tinged rollers and pure dance floor groovers that'll have you from the off. When the Backdrop office first heard it we couldn't turn it off, we liked it so much. An amazing album that really should turn a few heads in the direction of Subz & Matik. Perfect for the hazey summer nights ahead.

'241' has been absolutely battered for a few months now and ever Dj on the circuit has been behind it, saying that though, 'Big Business' has also been smashing up dances around the world so need I say more! If you didn't know already this is Dj Hazard's label so expect pure filth

Serum steps up to bat with a heavyweight remix that lands a homerun! This is a deadly dancefloor smasher with soundclash samples, amen breaks and a cool and deadly 4/4 pattern. On the flip get ready for a deeper dubwise journey, studio one style, with France's ragga jungle ambassador 'Stalefish'. Updating a real roots skanker, he manages to keep this one simple but still extremely effective.

Zap steps up for his debut release on the mighty Foundation records. Spice, the brains behind raveguide has been building this jump up label for a number of years. The labels reputation has now grown to the point where you can not ignore a new talent when it appears on this cat prefix. Zap is one for the future.

Zodiac is back with two more heavy hitters, '1200 Miles' and the VIP of 'Stimulation' have both been getting top level DJ attention across the DnB scene. This is the 8th release on the Alpha imprint, Modified Motions sister label to Dynamic Audio.

Zodiac steps up again on Dreadnought to release two absolute bangers. 'Zirus' and 'It's All' will make you spill your drink as you skank out looking like an absolute lunatic. Get off your downloading arse and go buy this 12''

Greek rising star Bengoa drops his 1st EP on London imprint Moscow, with a little help from the Brothers' Vibe!

Hounds of Hate are a London-based trio whose music is a potent brew of acid house bass lines fused with half-speed screwed & chopped drums, resulting in what has been dubbed "soft-core screw house". Hounds of Hate do not adhere to digital production methods but embrace limitations of old equipment, arriving at a unique lo-fi sound. They often mix around with Hype Williams and the Bo Khat Family band, spawning mixtapes, aborted radio talk shows and befuddled audiences. Live, they've played with Pens, Graffitti island, Hype williams, Plugs, Maria and the Mirrors and have upcoming shows with Caribou, Gold Panda and Alexander Tucker

They have been making music together for the past five years and have mastered the art of fashioning complex compositions and off-kilter time signatures into indie-pop, alt-anthems with ease.

Limited edition Vinyl pressing with A1 poster. Back in May of 2009, Blackdown posted an in-depth interview with Kryptic Minds and Loefah, breaking down how Loefah started his Swamp81 They spoke at length about the parallels between DnB and dubstep, especially from a label-sound point. Well, at the end of this month, you can own what's sure to be one of the scene's more captivating releases to date. What I want to push with Swamp 81 is the gap that isn't really being represented anymore. The roller, the halfstep... spacious.' What Loefah heard in those first few Kryptic Minds beats is edgy, rolling, stripped back spacious dubstep that was spectacularly well made and also had its own identity- emotive, organic in places, very junglist in spirit- unlike the vast number of producers who tried to clone his sound in 2006, and failed. The first fruits of the partnership are Kryptic Mind's 'One of Us', a deadly 12~ that encapsulates producers who understand the difference between edgy and too angry; that restraint often has more impact than chaotic release. This deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within dubstep, and how you use them is played out yet further on their new album, 'I'm thinking Wax Doctor, Doc Scott, Goldie- that kind of thing. It's that transitional phase between Reinforced and Headz that is in my heart' explains Loefah. 'That's what I'd like to do with Swamp. And I don't want it to be labelled as 'the halfstep label.' I want it to have that kind of tunnel vision Metalheadz had in 1996, that kind of 'we're going this way. I'm not watching what you're doing, I'm not watching what you're doing- I'm going straight ahead.'' In that spirit, Kryptic Minds' One of Us zooms in on edgy 140bpm halfstep, forcing the listener into a headspace where perfectly placed details come into vivid focus, like the hyper-real intensity of night adrenalin. Everything is tautly coiled, as if priming the listener for a flight-or-fight reflex. The tension is barely unleashed throughout the album. 'To me the album- and this may be really gushy,' enthuses Loefah, 'it's like a night out. Leaving the house or wherever you are, going through the night and the last track is morning. The sun's come up and it's time for bed.' 'I think the Kryptic Minds album and the 12~,' concludes Loefah, 'it's just making a bit of a statement. We're saying 'you know what~ It's not this, it's not that, we're right in the middle and we're headstrong with it.

The flip side brings fast rising new producer HLZ back to 36 Hertz after his first release appeared on the massive 'Back To The Bass' LP. With a half speed synth lead intro that builds up into pure bass mayhem after the drop HLZ once again shows he is a man of many styles.

This is the vinyl installment of the '2nd Rate' project by Irish producer Polska. These tracks are slightly more dancefloor orientated than those on his 2xCD long player of the same name but it's still perfect for those who prefer the meditative side of electronic music. Opening with atmospheric strains, 'Setplace' is an incendiary piece of breakbeat D&B that alternates between darkness and light throughout. The constantly changing arrangement, sharp percussives and wandering bassline patterns keep your attention. Flip over for a special remix of Polska's 'Outvert' by king of the beats, Equinox. The stop / start nature of the original is transformed into a more rugged, rolling affair here which gets more adventurous and cut-up as it progresses. Sweet pads, strings and vocal snatches compliment the beats and the deep sub bass completes a real 'rough with the smooth' masterpiece. The third track '2nd Rate' also features on the CD version of this release and evokes images of a live jazz quartet on stage rather than a producer in a studio! The progression from nice-n-easy jazz to D&B onslaught half way through makes this tune an epic journey. Polska is coming from a different angle to most producers at the moment but this is certainly a refreshing take on the Drum & Bass sound.
