A pair of huge, juicy, ripe bassy beasts here. The original mixes are still doing damage on international dancefloors and now it's the time for the remixes.

Some seriously heavy drumstep monsters here from Daniil Kormshchikov AKA Hectix, a talented young producer from Nizhny Novgorod, in Russia - picked up by John B when he was on tour out there earlier this year. He's already had releases out on labels such as Ammunition, Artist Recordings, Talkin Beatz & Drum Orange.

After their incredible 'Way Of The Warrior' album, possibly the best compilation of 2011 according to DJ Mag, the Shogun commanders stand up tall once again to kick off 2012 with what will be one of the definitive club tracks of the year. Bristol's Interface is no stranger to the limelight and with his debut on Shogun Audio that limelight's about to turn on him once again. Big, bashy and a little bit trashy....get ready!

Skream is set to release a brand new single 'Anticipate' on November 14 on Tempa. The ever-prolific producer has spent the summer touring festivals around the world including Glastonbury, Global Gathering, Electric Daisy Carnival, Glastonbury and Coachella.

Ukrainian duo Nickbee and Sunchase are on fire right now, and this release, their debut on Horizons, represents the very best of their production efforts. Having seen both sides of this 12" go off in a big way in the clubs, we are understandably very excited about this release.

Bass-wise electronic soul carved in the Various studio. The Various label's been strangely quiet this year but these tracks are a healthy sign that they're still at it.

Moving towards the end of the year and it's time for a temperature change as Critical gets ice cold with the talents of D&B scene newcomer, Foreign Concept. Although a relatively fresh face Foreign Concept has already made quite a name for himself have signed tunes to the likes of Samurai, Ingredients, Shogun and Commercial Suicide. Here Kasra picks possibly the cream of the crop with a release that has been hitting clubs hard all over for the past few months. Sometimes the only answer is 'Mob Justice'. A staggered break, industrial fx and drifting pads open it up with the by now familiar to most 'hang from the gallows' vocal that signals the drop into some enormous droning sub-bass with twisted fills and oldskool amen edits. Cuts deep in the mix on any worthy sound system; a Critical anthem for all the Fabric regulars. Flipping over and label boss Kasra joins him in the studio for a joint venture with devastatingly good consequences. Kicking off with a more regular two-step break, piano chords and old soul vox 'Show You' rolls into a bouncing stepper with a surging b-line that keeps things moving with pace. One for the marching crew and another good sign of Kasra's own production progress. Definitely much for to come from in the future from Foreign Concept.

After his great succesful double vinyl EP on FOKUZ047 the 'Intelligent Manners' returns on Celsius in style. Teaming up with 'Dynamic' straight from the UK they bring an incredibly funky piece of music that is both a treat to the ear and the dancing feet. A must have for all lovers of lucious soul music and sweet basslines.

Stepping into their fifth release label owner Phobia presents his first solo 12' for Coded. 'Polaroid' is a moody roller as you might expect from the label boss, featuring the vocal talents of Zoe Hakin. On the flip 'Severance' is a lesson in intricate drums and bass, definitely one for the headz. Bothtracks should be an essential part of any decent DJ's arsenal.Both tracks have received support from the likes of Spectrasoul, Jubei, Lenzman, Nymfo, Loxy and more.

Rush-released on LP following huge demand for the CD version, 'On-U Sound Presents Lee Scratch Perry Nu Sound And Version' - to give it it's full title - contains reworked, remixed and re-interpretated versions of 12 Adrian Sherwood-produced Lee Perry classics, including one extra bonus mix only available on this double vinyl pressing. Reggae legend Lee 'Scratch' Perry first began working with On-U Sound in the late 1980s. Initially working with Style Scott's Dub Syndicate rhythm section, he then collaborated with Adrian Sherwood on 'Time Boom X De Devil Dead' in 1987 and 'From The Secret Laboratory' in 1990. He would return to the label in 2008 to release 'The Mighty Upsetter' and it's companion-piece 'Dub Setter'. The tracks on this album see Lee Perry receive some of the most radical treatment his work has ever had, as his distinctive vocals bob and weave in the midst of bass, rave riddims and extreme experimentation fashioned from the imaginations of some of today's most cutting-edge, dub-influenced producers. Newly commissioned versions by Bullion, Congo Natty, Dialect & Kosine, and Adrian Sherwood make their exclusive debut appearances here, alongside productions plucked from the sought-after series of limited 12's by Kode9, Mala of Digital Mystikz, Moody Boyz, Horsepower Productions, and Pempi.

Sebastian Krakota has quietly set about his mission to dnb greatness in a short space of time. He has already featured on Critical's 'Modulations' series, CIA and his massive 'Be Myself' on our 'Recipe Book LP' in the summer made everyone take note. This is his first full solo 12' and what a belter it is. 'Scraper' is a superb dj tool, straight to the point with it's high energy pads and killer bass drop. While 'Tunnel Vision' is a lighter affair, with an uplifting vibe. Both tracks are very current & shows how much this young Dj has to offer already. Dj support from Marcus Intalex, SPY, Total Science.

The Ukrainian child prodigy cum dnb mastermind Limewax delivers two stunning examples of studio wizardry. On the a-side we find JiJ, a melodic and uplifting anthem with big breakdowns and even bigger drops. With the flip Limewax skillfully merges 3-4 individual tunes into one tearing behemoth of a track. Position Chrome goes from strength to strength....

The Dirty Dubsters team up with New York Dancehall Legend Screechy Dan and rising Reggae Star Whandah "The Dainty Queen", along with Sax-Man Anton Petelchyts of Fusion Wave to produce a big beat Reggae fused vocal track.

Its another monster from Survival and one thats featured as an untitled track in numerous sets recently. Here we are pleased to announce its title as 'The Year 2133. The intro on this one takes you on a short journey into space and back & returns you to land with a massive bump the mini-second the bass kicks in.

Tactical Beats is a new label for us here and a new venture for 2012. Mob Tactics run the label and these boys have been receiving a lot of hype over the past year and when you listen to the production on this first release you'll see why.

N3gus has been smashing it lately and as usual Spearhead don't miss a trick by snapping up this 12 for their Limited label. This release has a different vibe to it mixing the sounds of old with a modern twist. We likey!

For the fifth release on Lethal Records sees Nu Elementz and Decimal Bass step up with this monster of a tune.

First of three 12's taken from the Spy Tech 6 Album. Universal project trademark sound always delivers. Bboy breaks, techno elements, dubwise bass, all signalling to the future. Mr Foul brings the old Skool Jungle meets Techstep.

As the Album is sold out we now offer only the VERY LIMITED 12" DISCS of the album.
Hungary is the fresh birthplace of so many top producers within the DnB scene.. Mindscape, Matt-U, Chris.su, SKC... But this one producer has managed to produce so many killer tracks Citrus could not just leave it alone... This Producer is Jade.. And his Venom LP is the result of his hard work. A deadly collection of productions that, once injected into the eardrum will grasp the host track by track untill there isnt anything left!
