* A massive two-part release, the 'Nightlife 6' EPs highlight a small selection of the killer sounds Andy's curated for the sixth instalment of his unarguably authoritative mix brand.
* Hive's 'Neo' already has a special place in 'Nightlife' legend: it appeared on Andy's debut mix. Rebooted by none other than Audio, it's been updated with cutlass clarity. Beautifully brutal, heroically heavyweight: Audio never, ever disappoints.
* 'Misfits' is a tag-team tear-up from Ram-signees June Miller and their regular partner in crime Nymfo. Icy angularities abound as we launch with a spooked out lead melody that drops us headfirst into a gnarly, spiked out bass riff and a sharp steppy riddim.
* Unknown Error provides the lush contrast every 'Nightlife' mix is famed for. Soul-laden from its ignition, Janine Small's emphatic vocals cut through the jazz-minded chords with stunning effect. Propelled by some stunning drum sounds and gorgeous piano work, you can file this one under timeless.
* Xtrah completes this first instalment with a bona fide hurter; whether it's the rushy vocal and hardcore twinkles of the intro that hits you hardest or his incredible attention to detail on the percussive groove, this sums up why Xtrah has achieved the spotless scene status he's achieved in such a short time.
* Four dynamite D&B workouts from some of the most exciting names in drum & bass right now, this is a seriously big EP... Now hold tight for 'Nightlife 6' EP Part II!
* Nightlife 6 EP Part I

After almost two years since his last full release, Ghost Mutt makes a long awaited return to Donky Pitch for the four track 'Rumble Pak' EP on November 18th. Further advancing his R&B leaning club productions with influences from dancefloor driven sounds from across the globe - the Rumble Pak EP retains the signature bass, funk and synth from previous releases and turns up the heat with extra jungle breaks, jersey club and grime for a tough set of dancing music. Ghost Mutt first appeared on Dutch label Lowriders in 2010, he then released Platinum Skull and Thoroughbred as part of a split release with Slugabed to kick off the Donky Pitch label followed by the critically acclaimed 'Sweat Mode' EP in early 2012. Since then he has remixed both Lockah and ARP 101 x Elliott Yorke, receiving heavy rotation on BBC Radio 1 as well as playing Glade festival, holding down his residency at the Donky Pitch club night and going on a tour of Australia.

Wilkinson has recently announced the release of his eagerly anticipated debut album Lazers Not Included on 28th October 2013 via RAM records. Wilkinson, has been on unstoppable form since the huge Radio 1 play listed 'Need To Know' and most recent single 'Heartbeat' featuring Arlissa and P Money, which firmly established him as one of the UK's hottest producers and DJs. New single 'Afterglow', with vocals by Becky Hill, and was premiered as Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World

* 'One of drum & bass's most respected DJ and producers... and one of the most technically gifted DJs in the whole of dance music' RESIDENT ADVISOR
* Andy C has announced the next chapter in his acclaimed 'Nightlife' compilation concept. Widely regarded as the definitive drum & bass mix series (with over 250,000 units sold), 'Nightli 6' will be released in November on his Ram Records imprint. The hugely anticipated album is the sixth instalment of the now legendary series that began in 2003 (the last mix was released in 2010).
* Famed for dropping exclusives, dubs and upfront cuts that no other DJ will own for months, Andy C genuinely breaks future anthems, and each volume of 'Nightlife' represents a forecast for the new directions and emerging talents that will emerge across drum & bass for the years ahead. The debut 'Nightlife' mix championed the then unknown Pendulum; 'Nightlife 2' featured tracks from a young hopeful known as Sub Focus; and the third mix was home to one of Chase & Status's earliest releases.
* These albums serve as reminders of why Andy C is recognised as one of the world's most talented DJs and why his Ram Records imprint is regarded as one of the music industry's most successful independent labels. 'Nightlife 6' is no exception. It's Andy's most in-depth collection so far, with a staggering 100 plus tracks across the three mixes, the majority of which have never been heard before.
* 'Nightlife 6' sees Andy showcase sounds from the most exciting new names and the very biggest D&B artists in the game, including Wilkinson, Loadstar, Chase & Status, DC Breaks, Rene Lavice, S.P.Y, High Contrast, Mind Vortex, Culture Shock, Frankee, Unknown Error, TC, Calyx & TeeBee and many more. Further tracks and remixes come from Rudimental, Dizzee Rascal, Black Sun Empire and beyond. The album also features two new original Andy C tracks, 'Workout' and 'Haunting' (the latter is an iTunes gratis track that comes free with an album pre-order).
* The biggest Ram event to date (4500) will be held at London's O2 Academy Brixton on 1 November.

Conscious Sounds AKA Bush Chemist has been at the heart of the UK Roots scene for over 20 years. He has since gone on to gain
worldwide recognition for his digital roots productions. His discography reads like a who's who of the UK Reggae scene.
Deliver Me is an uptempo, hard hitting digital steppa like you have never heard. The riddim grabs you from the first moment to the last
and melodic vocals of Ramon Judah perfectly compliment the dark, melancholy vibe. The track is a spiritual plea to Jah asking him
for guidance away from the evils of this world.
So Here we are, with full approval from Conscious Sounds and an exclusive 12" vinyl press due out September 2013 - Jungle Alliance
International, Dialect & Kosine & Conscious Sounds bring you the highly anticipated 1st release on Jungle Alliance International.
Jungle Alliance Welcomes Tenerife's Junglist 'Santy G' - With this versatile 1st release on Side AA !! Victim Of The System is a superb
collab Jungle mix with the UK's Mighty Dark Angel on Vocals & Santy G from Tenerife - who is making waves from the city of Santa

Jungle veteran Kenny Ken who is in full support all that Santy G & Jungle Alliance.
The track - Victim of the System Featuring UK Reggae Artist Dark Angel is a powerful & thought provoking summer anthem that
combines tuff digital basslines, rolling drum & bass breaks & percussion to keep the dancehall jumping. The vocals suggest to the
listener to be aware of the troubles we all face in the economic climate and not to fall victim to the corrupt system.
Expect to hear more tuff ragga d&b productions from our latest signing Santy G on Jungle Alliance International.

Building upon the foundations laid by his stunning debut single for the label, 'Theme Park / Off Topic', Blu Mar Ten Music is proud to
present the second single from prodigiously talented young producer Frederic Robinson's forthcoming album, 'Mixed Signals'. A
natural successor to the aforementioned single, the two tracks on offer here, 'Bloom' featuring Stray and 'Shore', give a further insight
into the depth and diversity of his work and what you can expect from his debut long player when it drops later this year.
On 'Bloom' Robinson teams up with experimental electronic producer and fellow BMTM alumnus Stray, for a characteristically
forward-thinking and unique exploration of 170bpm's outer possibilities. Built around a skittering tribal rhythm, lush synths and
acoustic instrumentation weave in and out of the track's skeleton over a deep b-line punctuated by elegantly cut ethereal vocals. With
the pair fluidly building and deconstructing layers as the track evolves and effortlessly shifts grooves, the track's nuances make it as
compelling for home listening as it is fresh on the dance floor.
This is paired with the delicate percussive timbres and rich ambience of down tempo offering 'Shore'. Here Robinson's off-kilter,
organic rhythms combine with a dense patchwork of piano, strings and natural textures to create a track that is as beautiful as it is
haunting, aided by the distant call of Robinson's own vocals.
Already receiving support from revered taste makers such as Giles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs and London Electricity, the depth and
quality of Robinson's music is quickly starting to make people stand up and take notice. Quickly proving himself to be an inimitable
talent, the new single is a worthy addition to his musical canon.

Klute returns with a sneak peak from his forthcoming 7th album.
"Best Bits Not Over" showcases Klute's harder side with a rip tearing floor killer thats been causing hell all over the place. Just one
tiny slice of the impending album due to land in the Autumn.
for the flip Klute has invited INVADERZ to take on one of his most popular tunes, "TAKE A BREATH" from his 3rd LP Lie Cheat &
Steal.
Having taken a break to concentrate on their work with Dego & Bugs in The Attic, INVADERZ have returned to D&B with a vengence
with forthcoming releases on Metalheadz, Ram, Commercial Suicide & C.I.A.

Tom Withers aka Klute is unlike any other drum & bass producer in the scene today. From his entry
into the music business fronting the late 80's punk band The Stupids and his early jungle releases on legendary label Certificate 18,
Klute has always set himself apart from the pack never afraid to do things that little bit differently. 15 years in and his story continues
as he prepares to unleash a
staggering seventh studio album, 'The Draft', another accomplished piece of musical ambition from a producer who never fails to
disappoint. Beautifully crafted soundscapes adorn trademark melodicity upon delicate and at times brutal drum & bass for a
complete listening experience that draws the listener in from start to finish. Essential, exquisitely executed bass music for 2013.

The rebirth of Doc Scott's seminal imprint continues with the addition of Poland's Reza to the fold. Releases on Metalheadz and
Samurai as well as being an integral member of Loxy's CX/Cylon camp have solidified Reza's status as one of the new generation of
producers carrying the torch for future thinking Drum & Bass.
"Rain Giver" employs lush synth washes and throbbing bass tones providing the backbone for spaced out percussion, sparse soul
vocals, and marine like atmospherics immersing the whole track with an underwater aesthetic. A fresh and emotive nod to equal parts
Autonomic and Doc Scott's legendary Speed sets.
Things get much more sinister on "Thaw" as Reza teams up with Toronto stalwart Gremlinz after their recent collaboration "Bloom", a
standout on the Samurai/HORO compilation 'Scope'. Icy chords and pummeling kick drums combine with submarine effects and an
immense natty bass line evoking a steely tension throughout the track, referencing the point where Techno, Dub and Drum & Bass
intersect.

limited marbled grey vinyl pressing!
On the A side of this Black, Grey & White vinyl release we have: Retrofit
A mega monster collab by C-Netik from Lisbon and Cooh from Sofia. 4/4 Hardcore Drum & Bass 110% PRSPCT Approved!!

On the Flip we have: Checkmate by C-Netik
Badass would have also suited perfectly as the title for this track as it fits the description perfectly. Pounding kick drums, Ear shattering snares and tons of grim atmosphere.. One of C-Netik's strongest productions to date!

EDM ist die Abkürzung für Electronic Dance Music und nicht erst seit gestern einer der größten und am schnellsten wachsende Musiktrend in den USA.
Vergleichbar mit den Überbegriffen - House' und - Techno' in den 90er Jahren fasst man hierunter meist sehr viele Genres zusammen: Electro House, Dutch House, Trance, Dubstep, Trap - kurzum: genau das was derzeit auf den großen Elektro-Festivals läuft!
Festivals wie das Tomorrowland in Belgien, der World Music Dome in Frankfurt/Main und selbstverständlich die Monsterveranstaltungen in den Vereinigen Staaten belegen: Die EDM Welle ist noch lange nicht an ihrem Scheitelpunkt!
Auf dieser 2CD Compilation werden nun erstmalig die größten Namen des Movements und die Tracks, die nächstes Jahr wichtig sein werden zusammengefasst!
2 CDs mit 40 Titel... Und das LineUp liest sich wie die DJ Mag Top 100: Skrillex, Kaskade, DJ Tiesto, Showtek & Noisecontrollers, Ferry Corsten, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Hardwell, Benny Benassi, R3hab & Quintino, Sander Van Doorn, John Dahlback, Wolfgang Gartner, Laidback Luke, Fedde Le Grand,
Axwell.
EDM 2014 - Der Electro-Sound einer neuen Generation!

The record opens on a supa efficient ragga tek tune, clear kick and load vocals... And while listening tunes you'll soon discover Raggatek is the subject here... With a first massive track from Ktodik... and EP ending on a superb other massive tune from Pitch. Best Graffiti Sonore probably !

finally repressed!
Brand new NOISIA single, you know its HOT!! Including the massive Excision & Datsik remix.

* OVERVIEW: Following the critically acclaimed inaugural 'Programmed' series in February, Program has curated another powerhouse four-piece. Peppered with some of the most talented and creative producers in the global drum & bass game, it's a sterling sonic showcase that leaves no style stone unturned.
* The Italian sonic stallion Maztek takes the lead with 'Dizzy Step'. Celebrating his biggest year so far, the young artist shows why he's currently in huge demand with this precision produced stepper. The bassline scuffs and skitters over the pummelling riddim, acting as both a lead line and the driving force of the track. Following one of Maztek's most monstrous build ups to date, the drop teases as it waits for a bar to show off its savage power. Truly tremendous.
* We head to Moscow for the second track of the EP as Program introduce the blistering new talent Traffic. A muscular medley of blunt bass barks; 'Structures' is a rolling moment of undiluted moodiness. As the track title suggests, the power can be found in the tight, energetic arrangement. Unforgiving, otherworldly pads provide consistency as the bass dynamics weave and bob, fly and sting, nip and tuck with demonstrative darkness.
* The Russian reppage continues as Eastcolors and Noel step up with 'Crispy'. Another example of audio onomatopoeia, 'Crispy' lives up to its name with deadly effect as cutlass-sharp hi-hats and precise kick drum punctuation drive the groove into the future. There's a playful air about the unpredictable bassline as it heaves us back and forth across the floor, creating space for the turbo riddim to flourish and short-but-dreamy pads on the breakdown to breath.
* It's down to Stealth and Altair to provide the EP's final, feisty climax. A tried and tested partnership over the last few years, the duo deliver the goods in every way... Opening with blissed out processed guitar strums, oceanic pads and subtle string sprinkles, a rich, warm soulful vocal captures our attention before the elements switch and a gritty bassline takes over. Gradually the lush instrumentation trickles back into the blend, allowing for a stunning breakdown where the vocal really comes into its own. Then, at the blink of a beat, we're thrown back into staccato bass groove and steppy riddim. Barbed but beautiful, it's the epitome of contemporary soulful D&B.
Four next level cuts, four of the most exciting names to have emerged in D&B in recent years. It's time, once again to get with the program!

Scott Allen & Deeper Connection turn up the heat once again presenting the Solemn Shores EP on Fokuz Recordings little sister, Celsius Recordings!

On the A side we find 'Sight Unseen'. A well balanced organic sounding roller with some moody vibes, spaced out pads and a tight drumline. A great example of where liquid is right now in 2013. On the flip Scott Allen goes solo with the EP's title track. A dubby influenced piece of d&b with lush textures. Watch out for the digital release with three extra tracks coming soon, a perfect addition to any liquid set!

'Having picked up DJ Mag's 'Best Compilation Album Of The Year' Award for the first part of the 'Way Of The Warrior' album series in 2011 in celebration of 50 Shogun Audio releases, we return with part two of our critically acclaimed label showcase, bringing you a selection of the finest drum & bass music created by our ever-evolving entourage of Shogun Audio artists.
* Featuring future bass technology from Shogun's inner and outer circles including Friction & K-Tee, Rockwell, Icicle, Technimatic and Spectrasoul, alongside contributions from Joe Ford and Fourward there's not a stone left unturned.
We would like to thank all those involved that made this new album possible, it's truly an honour to work with such a talented group of producers who are continually pushing barriers beyond the forefront of electronic music in 2013. Enjoy...'
Tracklist;

If ever there was a man in drum & bass who needed no introduction, it's D-Bridge. Having made his name as one half of Future Forces Inc, then again as a quarter of the legendary Bad Company, D-Bridge's career has seen him push the D&B envelope time and again.

*Dabs + Kwality's anthemic 'Skull & Bones' from HZN067 gets the remix treatment from current D&B darling Stray and jack of all trades Sam Binga for HZNX013.
*Stray gets all jungle juke for the a-side that has been getting battered across festival land this summer. Frantic hi-hats, stuttering kicks and pounding 808 bass have made this a crowd favourite - if dubplates still existed they would have been worn out to see-through by now.
*Sam Bings brings a more carnival atmosphere to proceedings - Kwality's patois vocals are chopped up, pitched up and down and take centre stage while the energetic drum loops and perc keep bodies moving and heads nodding. Serious riddims here, ya dig

*The Dream Thief series from Horizons Music has already seen three spectacular releases, with music from a very real who's who of contemporary, leading edge drum & bass. The phenomenal fourth instalment is no different, with a total of twelve tracks across three different formats. Horizons' reputation for finding music which is that little bit different, that little bit special, will be enhanced by the album, which presents the full range of drum & bass in 2013.
*Amoss team up with MCJC on the deep, menacing Bleed It, whilst The Invaderz continue in that flowing yet intimate territory on Quo Vardis, which picks up the pace to become a towering roller of a track. You won't want to be Trading Places with anyone on DLR's track, which blends some old skool sensibilities with a resolutely modern take on the sound.
*Horizons, as ever, has gathered together a selection of the finest names in the scene. Utopia Music's Mako comes correct with the devastating Hungry For Lies, which is followed by The Shield, from Gremlinz & Rumbleton, an otherworldly chunk of spacey, dub-influenced goodness.
*The last three tracks readily demonstrate quite why Dream Thief 4 is such essential listening. Detail's Human Trust is an intricately detailed vision of a nightmarish future world, whilst Naibu's Comfort Zone manages to combine warming, human sounds with an electronic pulse. Hydro and Instant close Dream Thief with the epic Sanctity, which draws together the themes and sounds of the record to a fitting end.
*Horizons. Dream Thief 4. An album without equal in 2013. Take a trip, learn a lesson, and discover for yourself the power and beauty of drum & bass music.

Spearhead Records are proud to present the return of a legend, the one and only Jonny L.
* Over the last 21 years Jonny has gained a reputation as one of dance music's innovators. You can always expect something a little different from this man, and this is no exception.
* From the classic rave sounds of 'Remember' to the straight up face tearing sounds of 'The Bass Break', this is the eclectic sound of a true raver.
* Without doubt this album will get a big response across the d&b scene and beyond. Some are going to love it, others are going to despise it, but one think you can't do it ignore it.
* Support from BBC 1xtra, Bryan G, Crissy Criss, Fabio & Grooverider, London Elektricity, BCee, Nu:Tone, S.P.Y., Spectrasoul, AI and more...

As the build up to the ever impending release of Jubei's 'To Have and Have Not' Album continues we tease even further with this ultra limited release of this 10' hand stamped, hand signed and hand numbered vinyl release including two of the (many) stunning highlight tracks taken from the L.P.


*'The Moment' picks up exactly where Jubei and Flowdan's gargantuan anthem 'Say Nothing' left of. The result once again prove that In combination the pair are nothing short of explosive, the release should carry a health warning, devastation is 100 percent guaranteed here, no prisoners will be spared and every dancefloor will be left in millions of tiny pieces as once again Jubei and Flowdan deliver their collaborative brutal genius.
*As if that wasn't enough the flip backs up with 'Tip the Scales' featuring everyone's favourite Manchester M.C, DRS. 'Tip the Scales' reaches into the deepest, darkest depths, providing that late rolling shuffle to keep the headz nodding and the people moving, the perfect compliment to the A side and again another snapshot of the overall brilliance of the entire albums excellence.
*Finishing off everything nicely and to compliment the outstanding quality of the contents we are issuing the release in a very very limited number of exclusive 10' Vinyl press which are all individually numbered, signed and hand stamped by Jubei himself, by the time you have finished reading these notes they will be disappearing rapidly, so move quick, these definitely wont hang around for long.

* The wait is over and we are proud to unleash what is easily one of the most highly anticipated and talked about electronic albums of the year.
* Jubei's first L.P 'To Have and Have Not' released on the seminal Metalheadz label shows exactly why Jubei is one of the most highly revered artists within the scene, and 'To Have & Have Not' delivers exactly what you would expect - the highest pinnacle of outstanding drum and bass/ dubstep within its purest and most credible form.
* There is no compromise here, only undiluted content that stays true to the real art form and true to the craft, this isn't music for faint hearted, or music aimed at infiltrating popular playlists, this is music for the those who truly appreciate the finest aspects of these incredible genres themselves and at every point ' To Have and Have Not' from start to finish keeps its roots kept firmly set in the music's underground foundation.
* The album delivers with an unfaltering intent and truly demonstrates Jubei's incredible versatility with tracks that traverse and transcend from one corner of the music to the next with an almost effortless and misleading ease.
* Each composition is within its own unique right a standout highlight and the track list includes a ridiculous amount of collaborative talent. Credits see Jubei once again call on the vocal prowess of Flowdan for the LP's massive follow up to Say Nothing, 'The Moment,' 'State of the Art ' Flips things further with SPMC and co production credits bring together the combined forces of Goldie, D-Bridge & Youngsta just to name three.
* Albums like this don't come along every day and whilst many artists now imitate with sights set firmly on commercial success only a very select few can originate and continue to cross boundaries and continuously and consistently.
* 'To Have and Have Not' sees Jubei make a clear statement and is easily a contender for the best Drum & Bass / Dubstep Album of the year.

* First appearing on the scene in 2005, Liquid V's now famous Club Sessions have quickly become one of the slickest compilation series of Liquid DnB around. Featuring tracks from the scene's biggest producers such as Roni Size, Fresh, Calibre, D-Bridge the first album laid the foundations for the iconic Liquid V brand - launching Bryan Gee's vision to the world. Now, with four volumes to date, 2013 sees the release of the fifth highly anticipated edition of one of DnB's liquid institutions.
* Always known for its deep, forward thinking sounds, 2013 has seen Liquid V go from strength to strength. Always regarded as a purveyor of the smoothest, most atmospheric beats, Liquid V is now riding higher than ever on a wave of renewed interest for one of DnB's more subtle styles. * Seamlessly blending 28 classics tracks is a flowing live mix from Bryan Gee, blessed with the vocal talents of none other than Stamina MC. A formidable force on the crowded MC circuit Stamina's original style has thrust him head and shoulders above the rest, earning him releases on BBK, Liquid V and V Recordings where he helped make the huge LK. * Combining established V producers such as Peshay, Need For Mirrors, Eveson, Random Movement and Mr Joseph as well as new talent such as Pennygiles, Duoscience, Atlantic Connection and Flaco, Liquid V Club Sessions Volume 5 recreates the magic once again.
* SUPPORT: Fabio, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, Friction, Hype, Calbire, LTJ Bukem, Bailey, TC, A Sides, Doc Scott and many more!

* TRACKLISTING:


























27. Flaco - Rollin Dice
28. Roy Green & Protone & Pennygiles - Selfish Arms

limited clear vinyl pressing! PRPLX's entitled Fabric Of Space explores the deeper side of the Breakbeat spectre. Clever drum programming as well as going in a bass shakin' direction, it reminds us of early Bluenote & Speed days but definitely with a modern touch. These tracks are another testament to PRPLX's love for the Breakbeat. Also included here is the roadtested Taiga track which starts of deep and hypnotic but surprises you with the harsh amen drop, raw synth and dark male reggae vocal, do we hear a R.E.W.I.N.D. The album will be released in two parts, the first one is a 250 handnumbered edition on 180 gram crystal clear vinyl (with special 75mm labelcopies and 75mm innersleeveholes) including free mp3 download codes and wrapped in a sealbag. All tracks have been mastered by Stuart Hawkes from Metropolis London. Support comes from all the usual suspects. On a first come, first served basis only!
Support: Fabio, Goldie, Nymfo, Lenzman, Klute, Marcus Intalex, Kasra, June Miller, Utah Jazz, Makoto, Presha (Samurai), Crispy (Blendits) Fusion, Adi J (Bassdrive), One87 (Starwars, be), Murdock (Radar Records, be) and many more...

*Methxx05 sees the debut release on Metalheadz from SB81 aka Nolige. Having built up an impressive collection of releases on a host of high profile dnb labels over the past 10 years or so, the time has come to welcome him to the Headz camp. His new alias brings with it a new sound and direction, and one we are extremely excited to present on our METHXX imprint.
*'DITD (Dancer In The Dark)' is a headnodding monster of a tune, bridging the gap between past and present, future x history, and between half timed beats & faster tempos with its clever percussive work. Chilling icy pads slowly evolve into warm string breakdowns and back again. A real exploration into the deeper side of modern dnb.
*'Back To 33 (ft Shakk)' is an eerie darkside stepper. Analogue bass notes and oldskool pads bring the live kicks, snares and rides together into a most satisfying whole. Again, these are deep beats for the discerning junglist.
*Another essential purchase and chapter in the Metalheadz LTD offshoot...

Limited Clear Vinyl Edtion!!
Dutch producer Switch needs no intro, he produced tracks together with Dutch producers Lenzman, Icicle for labels such as Soul:R, Shogun Audio and CIA Records. These three tracks give a fine example of Switch's production skills. Limited 140 gramms clear vinyl pressing comes with full artwork sleeve (+ high quality disco innersleeve) and including a mp3 download code for all three tracks. Highly recommended.

For the second single release of Transit 2, we are pleased to present three of our own established label artists; DLR, Survival & Silent
Witness. As you might expect they're all offering incredibly heavyweight tracks.
Setting the tone for this outing, DLR pays homage to the original 90s tech-step sound in true Dispatch spirit, with a raw and no-
nonsense stomper. Featuring heavily on Transit One, DLR has quickly become one the scene's most sought after producers, in high
demand from the dispatch fan base and co-producers alike. An awesome array of crunching kicks and resonating old school 8 bit
techno soundscapes, this sublime solo venture sets itself apart from pretty much anything else you might hear in the scene today.
This single release contains the dub mix of 8 Bits of 16, whilst the CD album features this track as a collaboration with UK Hip Hop
talent Kyza on vocals.
True to form, Survival & Silent Witness have provided an astounding joint contribution on 'Paddy'. The relentless roars of the build up
and immense drop terrorize all in its path! Both their solo and joint production quality is and always has been of nothing but the
highest order - this mighty album contribution from the guys rounds off their 2013 in powerful form.

Dialect & Kosine are paying tribute to the original pioneers of Dub & Jungle music with this exclusive VIP mix from Dread Recordings

patterns. Both tracks are setting a new dimension to Jungle music bringing it back to the original 90's Jungle sound. Featuring the
conscious vocals of Britain's outer national Reggae artist & Bush Chemists front main King General, his vocals set the mood of the
tracks with verses such as "Got To Be Conscious, If Your Not Conscious You Cant Ride This Bus" (Got To Be Conscious) Which
suggest the need to fix todays troubled society & sends out a positive message to the youth of today.

Kicking off with the sound of seagulls and a laid back rhodes, 'Spectrum Of Styles' has a nice, easy feel to it initially. The soulful
brass notes, gentle drum flicks and bass-guitar line, only serve to reinforce the vibe. 'We have many different types of musician ...
and the music is powerful for any type of person' - BLAM ! Nebula drops a heavy amen break, reminiscent of the kinda of sound
Dillinja used to achieve back in the mid-nineties. As the arrangement evolves, the melodies drop out to herald the introduction of a
slamming sub-bass section.
With the extra space, the beat trickery and filtering comes into focus before the re-introduction
of the melody brings about an eventual calm. 'We have many different types of musician ...
and the music is powerful for any type of person' - let's have that beat one more time then!
Another fine example of Nebula's ability to juxtapose the rough with the smooth.
Taking over for the flip-side is Italian producer Enjoy. Italy is better known for it's olives and wine but with a few more tunes like this
one, freaky junglistic chop-fests like this could be it's biggest export! Again it opens innocently enough, with a muted, wistful pad and
some tapping snares. A second drum layer increases the pace before the introduction of a rather fat amen (obviously fed on olives
and wine). No messing about here - the breaks are sliced, diced, stretched, squashed, reversed and recycled relentlessly throughout
the course of the track. Listen too for some spectacular break layering sections. Often, when there is so much focus on the chopping
and editing of breakbeats, the objective of writing a coherent piece of music can get lost. Not here. Enjoy employs a masterful
arrangement, which really ignites after the second drop where the beats spiral furiously and a synth sound pitches up, down and
around in unison with the primary motif creating an almighty crescendo.

Chase and Status have had one incredible summer. They headlined The Other Stage at June's Glastonbury. They played a storming, riotous set at Reading and Leeds. They announced their forthcoming third album Brand New Machine, the first single from which, Lost & Not Found, featuring Louis M^ttrs, broke into the top 10 on release and is widely acknowledged as one of the anthems of the summer. The current single Count On Me, featuring Moko, is all over the airwaves and was one of the highlights of their festival shows. Next up, following the release of Brand New Machine, the duo, alongside MC Rage, head around the UK for their first arena tour, kicking off on 31st October and culminating with a London 02 arena show on the 16th November.

Always keen to discover and promote new upcoming talent, Brand New Machine features a raft of rising stars and underground names. Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) are extremely passionate about finding and nurturing new artists and despite receiving a vast amount of requests to feature from all the big names, they opted for working with emerging new talent. Featuring Moko, Elli Ingram, Knytro, Abigail Wyles, Ed Thomas, Bo Saris and more, the album also plays host to collaborations with the legendary Nile Rogers as well as US rapper Pusha T. Brand New Machine gives a nod to the 90's rave era which inspired Chase and Status and showcases the duo's talent to write songs that smash through the boundaries of dance music, and cross over into everyone's consciousness.

Fans can hear much of Brand New Machine live at their arena tour in the Autumn. The shows will feature some of the new talent on the album as well as some exciting special guests. Tickets are on general sale now from www.chaseandstatus.co.uk.

Dispatch heavyweights Survival & Silent Witness return for DIS072 and as expected the results are nothing short of stunning with two
straight up, no nonsense slabs of Drum & Bass that are guaranteed to cause complete carnage and leave a trail of devastation in their
path.
Survival and Silent Witnesses ability certainly needs no introduction and 'Noise 3' Issues everything you would expect from the duo

brutal ease. And effect
The flip, 'The Wall' strips things back with heavy helping of live drums and delayed fx to provide that perfect rolling vibe essential to
keep heads nodding and the crowd moving. As with all press releases we could continue to bang on about how great these are but
the proof is always in the listening and Survival & Silent Witness here show exactly why they are considered some of the best in the
game with a 12 that hits all those important sweet spots of technicality in combination with musicality. A must have for all the serious
D&B heads and another buy on listen release from the Dispatch Camp - Not to be missed.

*Methxx04 takes an international direction and sees the Metalheadz debuts of ArpXP & Reza hailing from Italy and Poland respectively.
*'No Control' by Arp XP & Reza featuring Kayka is deep, dark and brooding. Rolling beats and super low sub are laced with Kayka's haunting vocal to devastating effect. A favourite of Lenzman's and featuring in many of his sets, this is a highly anticipated release and one that's guaranteed to get heads nodding and feet moving.
*'Unknown Feeling' by Reza is a dubbed out minimal journey into drum and bass. Melancholy chords combine with snippets of vocal and a sparse break, which are all underpinned by the weightiest of basslines. With two tracks of this quality it's no wonder this release is a double A side.
*Collectively the two tracks make for a killer 12' - yet another gem in the much sought after METHXX catalogue,

Since bursting onto the drum & bass scene back in 2008, the uber-talented young Russian upstart Alexey Egorchenkov has become
one of the hottest properties in electronic bass music. Better known as Enei, his brand of forward thinking musical muscle has
featured heavily ever since in the sets of Kasra. Friction, Andy C and many more, and in 2011 Kasra snapped him up to become
Critical's first ever exclusive signing. A name on the tip of most tongues, Enei's debut album has been the talk of the D&B town and is
now finally ready to unveil as we head towards the close of 2012. 'Machines' is set to catapult Enei to new heights, a long player of
devastating proportions full of incredible bass-wayed angst, vocal masterpieces and production that's second to none. Get ready for
the sound of the 'Machines', the most anticipated drum & bass album of 2012 and you're about to find out why.

"Yikes!" is the brand new album from London Elektricity, brimming with beautiful vocals, intriguing instrumentals and sumptuous compositions. From the soothing contemplative lilt of piano-driven, vocal-led 'Elektricity Will Keep Me Warm' through the energetic, uplifting cuts like 'The Plan That Cannot Fail' with its soaring synths, rock n roll tear out pieces like the eponymous track of the album 'Yikes!' and back again to the downtempo, vocal led intro of 'Invisible Worlds' and 'Fault Lines', London Elektricity's signature style is stamped indelibly into each track, but as so often is the case, it is as a whole that 'Yikes!' is made a timeless classic.
