Stalefish again comes tooled up to the max. His jungle outings on Step Xpress always turn heads and more importanly, sell lots of units. 'Basic Channel' and 'Gunman' are no different to the norm, skanking riddims that will keep all the jungle faithful happy.

Take two of Jalapeno's most legendary producers and lock them in a studio with a load of analogue tape loop effects, a ska tastic brass band and a vocalist of the quality of Finley Quaye and pretty soon you are going to get some classy reggae business to lively up your dancefloor.

Ok they are not re-inventing the wheel but when it sounds this good they don't have to. The original Tape Loops material is just classic reggae then given a downtempo dub breaks remix by Featurecast and an uptempo funk looped re-rub by Smoove for those who don't want to rocksteady to the original Tape Loops sound.
For the rest open your ears, relax your gears and feel the vibe.

V2E welcomes in the new year with two jump up smashers from Vital himself along side two new artists having their debut releases. All part of a sideline where Vital Elements has opened up his studio to a lucky few giving away his trade secrets and creating a lot of co lab tracks which will be coming on various labels through out the year.

Source Recordings are dropping them thick and fast at the moment. This release comes from their subsidiary Source Acadamy, where they are bringing through the next wave of Source scholars. Wobble T is handing in his coursework today, 'G Force' and 'We Do It' both show a developing of maturity and a deep understanding of jump up as a subject. What grade will he get~ You decide!

This limited 12" is packaged in a space age coloured metallic sleeve complete with download code, remixes by
DJ/Rupture & Brent Arnold and Memory Tapes

Alpha is the sister label to Modified Motions Dynamic Audio, it's now up to it's lucky seventh release. The mysterious Zodiac drops in for this one, laying down two slabs of prime jump up meat in the way of 'All Of Us' and 'Domino'.

After a short hiatus one of the world's most credible dj led compilation series returns to the forefront with impeccable pedigree as always.

limited 7" piture vinyl !!!

For the first release the pride and joy of Irish drum'n'bass, Calibre, steps up with 'Pop'. 'Pop' is an upfront synth led roller that could be described as techy. Not your usual Calibre style tune but nevertheless 'Pop' has all the depth, soul and production skills that we have come to love and respect from one of Ireland's greatest exports. On the flipside Jet Li shows us his musical side with 'Lydia's Ryme'. Haunting female vocals swirl around an array of delicate melodies which all sit perfectly on the crisp steppy beats and punchy bass.

There's been lots of talk about D Product of late, But is it justified~ Well, we think the answer is yes. Simplicity is the key to a good D Product track. Well executed breakbeats with a nod to the past, coupled with interesting instrumentation and ideas that all culminate in dance anthems. the a side 'Tell Me How' features Hollie G on vocals while the flip 'Leave It' is more modern day jungle with vocals by 'Hym Self'.

AC Records first release. The new label is a division of www.acidlab.de (normally known for its analogue hardware clones) with a focus on promoting dark, electronic music by unknown artists.

Machines Don't Care is a project centered around Hervé and Sinden. The other Machines collaborators are currently Fake Blood, Drop The Lime, Trevor Loveys, Detboi, Toddla T and Affie Usuf !!!

Huge previously unreleased remixes with Aaron LaCrate bringing Madge into the 21st Century as far as genres go with this Baltimore mix adding extra flavor to her already super phat resume with the ON-X club mix catching fire on the A-side this is another massive Madge promo !!!

On the A is the current smash 'Black Box' which is being battered by Andy C, Hype, Friction and all the usual suspects. On the flip 'Dark River' has also had massive support and holds true to what Mampi does best. Two top notch hits from a man on fire right now and we mean blazing hot, Anthems Alert.

Returning to Stereotype for another release, this time with Nik Itch, Prestige has graced us with a couple of destroyers that really demonstrate his signature style. Tying in perfectly with Stereotype's habit for bass-ridden releases, we're sure you'll enjoy this one.

Fresh from remixing the likes of Twisted Individual and Spinback last year, as well as producing enough club anthems to have him in the running for most prolific producer of 2009, Serum is back with his Co-Lab debut. Having firmly established a reputation for putting out quality, DJ friendly drum and bass in the last few years, Co-Lab aren't resting on their laurels in 2010. With new collaborations and artists hitting the roster this year, co-lab and sister labels Calypso and Pure Vibez are continuing to set the standard in jump up.

Simplification from Sao Paulo comes with an absolutely stunning liquid roller. The warm and happy atmosphere will becharm the dancefloors providing good vibes in every single aspect. 'Dreams' is created to make you dream and forget about the daily routine. Just lean back, close your eyes and let the piano melody take you away wherever you want. At home or on the dancefloor this track always complies with its intention.

Following Potential Bad Boy's first 12" of 2010, the 37th release on DJ Hype & Pascal's Ganja Recordings imprint comes courtesy of ex-G Dub member, Sub Zero. Putting himself to work in the studio Sub Zero comes up with his second high quality 12" since going solo last year, and it's another pair of immense bangers.

Included on this EP are some of our best ever selling tracks, long since deleted on their original vinyl pressings

Tyke and Recipe bring you the long awaited third release on their very own Dead Or Alive Music. On the A side you have 'Cops Don't Like Me' a track which has been murdering clubs up and around the country for months now and finally available for purchase with untold copies being reserved in shops around the world. If the A side isn't dark and dirty enough then you have the massive Steppa and Kitcha aka Northern Lights who bring forth 'Excalibur' with beats that rattle the cages off any speaker casing and a bassline that warms the stomach. The future is Dead Or Alive!

19th April 2010, sees the release of City Lock, the title track from the legendary Aswad's first album in 10 years. The band return with this wicked dancehall track in collaboration with MC Sweetie Irie. Drum & bass DJ/producer Breakage, whose recent hit 'Hard' was hailed by Zane Lowe (Radio 1) as his 'Hottest Record in The World,' has added a bass heavy quality to the track with a wicked jungle remix; this joins DJ/Producer Roska's mix and the band's own 'Grove mix. On this remix 12" vinyl. Massive Club and radio support from both mainstream and underground djs

Bron, a mysterious giant from the plains of Canada's sub arctic region, comes out of nowhere with Danksoul's second release "Great White North".

Zodiac returns to the shelves with some more dance-floor action. This time we get 'Combat' and 'No Sunshine'. The A side is the jump up smasher, made to destroy the dance. Turn the wax over and you get more of a jungle tinge, but still with the dance-floor impact. Modified Motion certainly knows how to pick them.

One day, someone will come along and write the big book of funky. When that finally goes down, the way that the Indian music overheard in a bodega is funky in is own way will then be placed as a distant cousin of say, Roger Troutman. in so doing, connections will be made, and among them will be the funky cross-breed that is Skweee.

"Private Show" is the second single from the upcoming Headman album "1923".

A new decade and a big year ahead for the D-Style camp. And what better way to start it off than with a debut release on the label from two producers doing huge things right now! All the way from Brazil, Marky and S.P.Y have lent their production skills to many a diverse and high quality project. A simple formula - these guys don't need an introduction they let the music do the talking.

Watch out! Love is back with yet another a killer of a remix! this time the talented Drake has been picked out for a lush remix of his hit single "Best I Ever Had"

RESURRECTION / JAWS 2 / ILLUSIONS / TRIPPIN

With a wide array of influences, a very distinctive style and a strong taste for melody and crafted musical skills, French artist Chloé Arnaud aka Nekochan is surely one of the most exciting and refreshing producers at the moment. Her stylish blends and arresting collisions of electronica, bass and glitched-up beats, led by her aqueously expressive voice, mark her out immediately as an artist destined for widespread acclaim. A classically trained cellist, she evolved into Nekochan in 2006 after a few years applying her unusual voice and skills as part of an electronic duo. Inspired by baroque and classical composition as well as a flamenco-player stepfather, and a passion for oriental melodic patterns, her gift for catchy figures and intricate rhythms is no surprise given the sheer range and depth of her sonic colourbox, while her highly individual blend of sound and mood switches adeptly from electronica and techno to the more underground tones of dubstep and glitch hop ... all with her unique vocal signature. Nekochan's 2009 debut download-only release met with success in pushing dubstep into new zones, and now comes the first foray into vinyl, with the three-track killer 'Minimal Bump' EP, that will further reconfigure notions of what bass music can be. The title track has already been featured on Mary Anne Hobbs, who played an early version in May last year after hearing it on myspace. 'Minimal Bump' is a powerful techno/break/dubstep instrumental with a huge kick and seismic bass work, custom built for dancefloor mayhem, with its layered synths, advanced rythmic shifts, cavernous drops, and an explosive production style that recalls the intricacies of prime Meat Beat Manifesto at the same time as giving Reso a run for his money. On the flip, 'Bombine' is another view entirely; a emotive disjointed stepper with melancoly pop tones, which unfolds in a smokey torch-song style to reveal further layers to Nekochan's innate musical instincts. It's fluidly evolving contrasts between dominant bass levels, powerful rhythms, and subtly-pitched Japanese strings mix and grow around that voice, putting the listener as much in mind of Burial's sadness as Bjork's vivid expression. Finally, 'Vahiné' is a refreshing journey into a lighter and atmospheric dubstep style, reminiscent in mood of Scuba or Martyn, with a dynamic bouncy drum pattern delivering the perfect groove for the heavy bassline to ride on while the sweet string melody leads from the front. Essential purchase for anyone seeking out new directions in heady dancefloor electronics.

Foundation Records (owned and managed by Spice of Raveguide fame) has been a brick in the Drum n Bass building since 2005.

Ray Keith has done what he does best with this release on the legendary Penny Black Imprint. Using his classic break from dark solider, echoed reeses and ethnic vocals this tune rolls out big time. On the Flip King Of Fire smashes the dance with is warm bassline and rolling percussion. You'd be a fool not to have this release on your rack!

French dub-producer makes dreamy dub-scapes where tones skank lightly within the crucible of the echo chamber while ghostly melodica figures appear and disappear. LTD 500

The men form UNKLE return with another lesson in hyper-cool and how to take a project and make it work on all levels. As ever, Futura's artwork is sublime and effortless and the whole 'Never Never Land' package is carefully planned unit. And for album number two the UNKLE team have pulled in another stone cold selection of guests viz Josh Homme (from Queens of the Stone Age), Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja and King Monkey, Ian Brown. The result is the kind of languid miasma of acutely refined beats, intergalactic word-smithery and stylish grid-irons of sound that characterise a collective that is fully at peace with its art.

Proper Music is proud to announce the release of an exclusive very limited official 3LP Picture disc box set from UNKLE.

Housed in Unique packaging this set sees the album spread over 3 picture discs LP's.

Packaged in a heavyweight gatefold box with 3 foldout prints this box is strictly limited to 250 copies worldwide.
