Taken from the new long player 'Utah Jazz Presents Groove Therapy': Mixmag Drum 'n' Bass TUNES | ALBUM OF THE MONTH O
skool soul food.. One of the shining lights of the noughties' liquid-funk boom, Luke Wilson's much-envied library of rare soul sampl
continues to earn him legions of international fans and a unique perch in the d'n'b galaxy. True to his defiantly old-skool production
ethic, album number three is awash with the dusky sax trills, lilting piano rolls and shuffling breaks that have become his smile-
inducing signature - a trove of unvarnished rollers entirely devoid of mechanoid modern gloss or studio gimmicks. You'll also find
sassy reggae-flecked funk ('The Warning' feat. David Boomah) and loping 150bpm breakbeat grooves ('Infinity'), but it's the tear-
jerking brilliance of mournful piano gems like 'Loops for Days' that do it for us. Get those jazz-hands ready, people - summer has
officially arrived. 9/10

( Mixmag ALBUM OF THE MONTH)

No stranger to Bad Taste Recordings, Aeph has had a string of critically acclaimed releases on the imprint, including the retro tinged dubstep anthem Bad Wolf, and fast paced Holy Call.

This release comes complete with artwork designed and hand printed by Eveson himself, and also includes an exclusive 12" screen print. This is strictly limited to 300 individually numbered copies. Early support from Fabio on BBC Radio 1, Bailey and Crissy Criss on 1Xtra, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky and more....

ILL Audio returns to Distinctive for his second single with the label, issuing a round of hard hitting power-moves in the form of his 4-track EP, titled 'Never Be The Same.' Featuring the unequalled vocal talents of Skin (Skunk Anansie) and a huge remix from DnB topboy Rollz, this is a startlingly accomplished release from a producer who's at the start of his game.

DEADLY VENOM This is the big hitter played and supported by Fabio and Grroverider this tune is on the original blueprint jungle label Dread destroying dance floors world wide.
PROTOTYPE CHAMPIONED BY RAY KEITH AND BLADERUNNER this tune is a hard roller with its slick style of drum programming which is heavy on the dance floor , and get a rewind every time .

With a portfolio of music on some of scene's most prestigious imprints, Technicolour and Komatic have cemented their place as two of the leading forces at the deeper, musical end of the drum & bass spectrum.

Fresh new talent Widowmaker makes his debut release on Wheel and Deal with 3 dark twisted half step stompers. Tunnelling Wurm:
The atmospheric sinister skanker, featured heavily as one of N-Types intro tunes as of late. Industrial twisted bass, bobs and weaves
around half step shuffling beats. Thunderous sub gives any dub system a work out.
Forgotten Ruin: This shows Widowmakers diversity. here he demonstrates a more tribal sound, , reminiscent of Hatcha's sets in the
early FWD days, but with a 2012 re-lick. One for the steppers.
Exile: This takes us into a deeper ambient groove, spaced out dungeon beats, deep dark and dangerous!
a Widowmaker - Tunneling Wurm

Scott, Octane & DLR, Skeptical, Dub Phizix, Ant TC1, Total Science, Zero T & Xtrah, Need for Mirrors, DJ Storm, EBK, DJ Flight &
Safire to name a few.

Limited Vinyl promo. Flipping the proverbial script, Caspa, with his tongue-in-cheek Not For The Playlist EP. Taking it back to its
aggressive Croydon roots a la N Type and Hatcha in "Sir Rock A Lot" he blends raw bassline pressure with aggressive stabbing
drums and transposes this to "Champion Skank".

Coming back with a bang in 2012, Craggz & Parallel return with some eagerly anticipated new material in the form of the Product
Placement EP. Released on their own Product imprint, it consists of four tracks that while different in style, still retain that certain kind
of funk that has permeated through their music ever since those early releases on Valve Recordings right up to the guys most recent
full length effort, the critically acclaimed Turn The Page LP. After spending part of 2011 busy with album promo and gigs, the boys
took time out to build a brand new studio to start working on more music. They ended the year by releasing the Future Shock / Turn
The Page remix 12" and now it's time for them to bless the scene again with some fresh beats.
So what does the Product Placement EP have in store Kicking off proceedings is the gritty tech styling of Hurt You. The creeping
intro, all filtered 80's synths, horns and a lilting looping female vocal lure you in one direction before a classic break turns it into a dark
and moody stepper sure to appeal to those who like their sounds slightly more edgy and raw. This is pure soundtrack music. If Lalo
Schiffrin made Drum & Bass, this is what it would sound like.
Up next is The Kraken and like the mythical sea creature it's named after, expect this one to unleash itself heavily on your ears.
Gnarling synths, tight percussive drum work and a heavyweight bassline to help tie it all together, The Kraken is pure unadulterated
funk for the clubs. Simple but incredibly effective. Watch for the house influenced piano line too...
Switching up the style once more, things get a little more stripped back and minimal on Clandestine. Super low, chest rattling sub
bass mixed with dark atmospherics and haunting pads, the percussive elements keeps the pace moving along nicely. One for the
listening crew, turn your headphones up and get immersed.
Rounding off the EP is Belong. Showcasing the versatile side to Craggz & Parallel's production, it starts life as a dubby, bleeped out
skanker until suddenly... The tempo switches and turns it into a funky 130bpm beast. Those that know Craggz & Parallel will know
that house and techno are a heavy influence on their sound. This tune is proof of that love and a great way to finish things off.
The Product Placement EP delivers four cuts of absolute quality, with enough diversity, musicality and top drawer production to keep
all heads happy. A welcome return for Craggz & Parallel.
Also watch out for the their forthcoming track 'Musik' on the latest installment of the hugely popular Hospitality Summer Drum & Bass
series released at the end of May.

If you're into the more measured, musical spectrum of drum & bass music you'll no doubt know James Fearnside better under the
Furney name. It's a moniker he's performed and DJed under for a number of years now releasing music on labels like LTJ Bukem's
Good Looking. 'Eindhoven Times'
is one of his most sought after dubplates. On the flip side we have 'Heat In Chinatown' by Dynamic Ft. mSdoS.

A big start for new label Switch! Kicking things off in style with a collab from the mighty Zen of Flip Audio & Switch! label co-owner,
Coda. After a couple of years doing the rounds on dub, Joints finally see the light of day. This tune is guaranteed to smash up any
dancefloor with its punchy swing beats, riffing bass and an unmistakeable vocal. The flipside, Big Up, brings the dirty side of funk to
the floor, with off step rolling beats and earthshaking bass. Supported by Hazard, Twisted Individual, Majistrate, Taxman and many
more.

Nottingham boys Congi, The production style is certainly on the dark n weighty side of things. Sometimes it's moody and fierce like
'Awaken' or smooth and soulful like 'X', but what strikes you most about the duo is their live warm sound and the organic feel to their
tunes, which they say is a focus of their production.

This time around RONIN has been given the job to tear your dance floors apart.After decapitating the last of the warlords and relaxing with a nice cup of tea, the Ronin laid low is sword and focused on mastering his sonic weaponry. Sparing no one, and showing no merci or remorse, he has pursued his mission to combine the most powerful elements of electronic dance music into a unique tune: 'Undercover Fandango'. This A side is an abrasive and fast-paced exotic blend of rumba-calypso shaken up with hard drum & bass flavours. This 180 BPM dance-floor killer can happily be mixed with Drum & Bass, Hard Techno or Breakcore.

Bop & Diagram touch down on Auxiliary under their Abstract Elements guise. Super bass heavy minimal science is the name of the
game here.

This Cornwall-based artist has been making bold moves in the scene. Having stumbled upon drum n bass music at the age of 14, within two years Clarity managed to write music that was immediately picked up by respected labels such as Med School, Horizons, Nu Directions, 31, and the mighty Exit Records imprint. With a sound that is both melodic and easy to listen to at home, while still appropriate for smashing the dancefloors.

Already supported by Andy C, Sub Focus, Calyx & TeeBee, Optical, Wilkinson, Bailey to name but a few, this 12' is a definite must have.

The thought is quickly put to one side as the drop leaps in, it's huge subbass movement roaring alongside glistening metallic drum hits. Distorted computer tones groan and cry for mercy as twisted mids tear through the sonic landscape.

Desire is a soul sampling, organ riffed amen roller. Keeping things strictly underground Savage craft a dance floor smasher, with original jungle vibes in abundance this is straight forward, no nonsense funk filled bass music.
The Drums instantly draws the listener in with its deep hypnotic bassline, wrapped in spine tingling pianos, dreamy pads and vocal samples.
