You're about to feel (again) why every record Ka§par does for Groovement takes a while to be released. Simply because special things need time to emerge. After Whatchadoo's underground buzz he's been intensely working in the studio, readying his most mature record yet. Inspired by the great masters and their legacy, Ka§par pushes himself towards the future with his own galactic sound palette. Ode to the ancients EP is certainly his most accomplished, consistent and authorial work to date.

The second part of the series contains a rare track by The xx split with a track from Sampha's `Dual' EP. 

We are happy and proud to announce our first 12" vinyl release of Dj Diamond - Deeper than Trax.
Representing Chicago's westside of town, Dj Diamond is a key figure in the scene and one of the most talented footwork producers of his generation.
with his own distinct style and an unusual ear for unexpected sonic and rhythmic combinations within the footwork template. Often he thoroughly edits samples into tiny trance-inducing, techno-like stabs. Combining this with loose broken drums and you have a sound which brings an intriguing deeper feel to his music.
DJ Diamond showcases an incredibly diverse range of styles within the footwork genre. Deeper than Trax is a straighforward EP with gems especially cut for your speakers, your parties & for the dancers.

Felix Lenferink has graced labels like Fourth Wave, Triphouse and Wolf Music with his electronic wizardry under monikers like Frits Wentink. 2012 saw Lenferink debut on Shipwrec, this dynamic artist delivering skewed bass and raucous beats in the form of the Forlane EP. Lenferink returns to his homeland label with new instalment, Forlane II. Whirring machine funk pours from speakers, Lenferink melting samples with pulsing drum patterns. Melodies arc and fade, harmonies quaking under condensed bassline. This swift soundweaver dissolves genres, splicing broken beats with echoed electronic memories. Shifting sonic sands and divergent textures. Comes with a full-colour doublesided poster and a download code for this EP + bonus track that is exclusive to the vinyl.

Follow Up zu Mieux's Neufant EP (released im Juni 2013) mit Neuinterpretation von We Sink (Athen), Sekuoia (Kopenhagen), Kelpe (London) und HADE (Köln).
Mit extrem clubtauglichen, von UK-Garage und Bass beeinflussten Uptempo-Remixen von We Sink (Symbols / UpMyAlley) und HADE (MPM) auf der einen Seite, und rockenden Mid/Downtempo Remixen von Kelpe (Drut / Svetlana Industries) und Sekuoia (UpMyAlley / PMC) auf der anderen macht das Kölner Label wieder einmal deutlich warum das Attribut 'forward-thinking' immer wieder fällt sobald von UpMyAlley gesprochen wird. Weit vorne. Wer Disclosure, Shlohmo oder ähnliches mag solte hier reinhören.

All four tracks were recorded in 1992. Staples of JD Twitch's DJ sets at the time & all tracks he still plays.

One of Russia's premier bass music producers (with releases on FOOL'S GOLD, DONKY PITCH and more) drops this dope 6 track EP on new up and coming label APOTHECARY COMPOSITIONS. The package comes complete with remixes LUCKYME / ASTRONAUTICO cohort OBEY CITY; FLOSSTRADAMUS' main support / MOD headman, LIL TEXAS; and Russian producer extraordinaire DZA. Limited pressing. Red vinyl.

Taking the boom of British bass culture and marrying it to the sweet slickness of classic American R&B, AlunaGeorge - aka Aluna Francis and producer George Reid - are excited to announce the details of their eagerly awaited debut album 'Body Music', released on July 29th via Island Records.

In the 12 months since their first release went viral, AlunaGeorge's DIY video for 'You Know You Like It' has clocked up over 2 million views, the band were crowned the most blogged artist of 2012, they sold out a European tour, performed at Moschino's catwalk show during London Fashion Week and made the top 3 for both last year's prestigious BRITS Critics Choice Award and the BBCs Sound of 2013 (#2). On top of all of the above, with no surprise, Aluna has also kicked off a career in fashion having been signed by NEXT Models.

These accolades, and the universal praise heaped upon the duo's shoulders, were of course a direct result of the incredibly fresh and unique music the pair are producing. Their second single 'Your Drums, Your Love' followed 'You Know You Like It' in October 2013 and latest single 'Attracting Flies' released in April this year has now sold over 100,000 copies. In between, AlunaGeorge scored a #2 hit single in the UK following their amazing collaboration with Disclosure on future classic 'White Noise'.

Fast becoming an unstoppable force in 2013 with their signature sound that has captured the attention of critics and fans alike, AlunaGeorge are turning British pop on its head. The summer of 2013 looks set to be theirs for the taking as the debut album 'Body Music' drops and a new 'You Know You Like It' EP on July 21st which includes the refreshed single and the B-side, 'Bad Idea'. The pair are also putting the finishing touches to a brand new video which drops in the coming weeks.

To have this release on R&S feels like the most natural thing in the world. This is the label that put out Lemon D and Jacob's Optical Stairway (aka 4 Hero) in the 1990s, placing drum'n'bass firmly within the continuum of international electronic music - and there is nobody better placed to draw the links between the current d'n'b scene and the wider world of techno, electronica and bass music than dBridge.
The record opens with a sample of simultaneously hilarious and deadly serious Jamaican dread wisdom, that leads into the Skeptical collaboration 'Move Way'. This is track is a perfect example of the half-tempo rhythms that dBridge helped pioneer, a kind of d'n'b parallel to the deepest dubstep yet which still maintains the momentum of 170bpm parent genre through subliminal flickers of percussion. 'Death of a Drum Machine' is a more standard d'n'b roller rhythmically but is embellished by filmic piano chords and absolutely exquisite production. Finally 'Plain to See' steps outside genre completely. Again with the half-step/double time thing going on, it's simply a piece of awesome electronica: a love letter to vintage electronic drum sounds yet utterly modern, rich in slowly unfolding layers of synth melody and harmony, and the perfect counterpart to the other two tracks on this perfectly structured EP.

Ever-prolific UK Funky producer Champion steps up for his first release of the year , after a busy 2012 which saw the release of ferocious dancefloor shaker 'Crystal Meth' on premier Grime label Butterz, and the infectious vocal anthem 'Crazy' on his own Formula Records imprint. On this strictly limited, white label style, vinyl only outing, A-side 'Prince Jammy'finds Champion in familiar territory, with quick-fast, sharp drums and claps anchoring the percussion and his signature guttural bassline in full gear, making this one another addition to the already glowing catalogue of buy-on-sight releases from the young Londoner. On the flip, 'Hydra Island' will be familiar to those who have seen him out in clubland, as it's the track that he has been opening sets with for the past year or so. Propelled by the infectious swinging rhythm of ultra crispy bongo drums, the track is characterized by a low end bass melody that growls with the intent and purpose of keeping the dancefloor moving, as Champion's signature tracks have proven to do all too well.

If you thought Pittsburgh Track Authority's production prowess stopped with techno and house, you were wrong. Here the trio dives into luminous, pulse quickening 2-step on the title track and booty bumping, aquamarine electro.

Rowl delivers The Crescent's fourth release with two original works packaged alongside a stunning remix from ASC. True to form, 004 is another beautifully varied EP exploring the depth of dub techno with influence from the UK's signature garage and dubstep sounds packaged across a plethora of BPMs.
*Already with a string of releases under his belt on imprints such as ICUAudio, M.U.D and Smoking Sessions, Rowl has stepped up once again to deliver an EP that has both headphone and dance floor appeal; one for the chin-strokers and DJs alike.
*The EP opens with the beautiful 'Egipto' - its careful shuffle mixed with Rowl's signature sculpted dub chords set the tone for the rest of the release and showcases his talent at combining influences, bringing a truly unique vibe to the 130bpm bass movement.
*On the flip, 'Someone' is a far more sombre affair, stuttered syncopated drums coupled with deep chords and a lush vocal complement a beautiful sub line, creating a tune rich in both emotion and narrative.
*ASC's interpretation brings his trademark experimental 'Auxiliary' flavour to the release. Perceivably an ode to the label's first excursion and drum and bass roots, the remix explores the ambient groove of 170BPM and does so seemingly effortlessly. It's a true display of disregard for genre norms and an interpretation that translates the original vibe into a subtler piece for autonomic aficionados.
*Early support from: Rowl, Versa, M.U.D, DjRum, Synkro, Troy Gunner, eleven8, HVL, Space Cadets, ASC, Sam KDC and more...

The UK scene has changed immeasurably since Hyperdub boss Kode9 released his Black Sun album two years ago. As dubstep, grime and funky mutated, so his own tastes gradually shifted, with his DJ sets increasingly drawing for the Stateside sounds of trap-inspired hip-hop and footwork.
*His new mix CD for Rinse, Rinse.22, documents the point at which his personal history in grime, house and jungle collides with those new sounds.
*The two tracks on this new 12" for Rinse - 'UH' (which features on Rinse:22) and 'OK' (EXCLUSIVE) - occupy that same zone between genres, finding him uncovering a thrilling point of contact between grime, broken UK house and the disorienting lurch of trap.*On 'UH' the connection to Kode9's history in UK club music especially is apparent - bounding along at house tempo, it repeatedly switches dramatically between the half-time lope of hip-hop, the deliciously swung shuffle of two-step and house's 4/4 pulse. 'OK' finds him exploring stranger, more rhythmically divergent territories: its strings of triplet-led hi-hat clicks and timestretched snares swirling wildly around each other, accompanied by a grimey synth melody. *It's simultaneously one of the strangest and most astonishingly funky club tracks in Kode9's back catalogue to date. Just as he's always done with his own music and the Hyperdub label in the past, both tracks revel in the possibilities for all man ner of bass-heavy music styles to intersect with and complement one another.

Lil Jabba isn't like the rest of them. While they're busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever's safe right now, he's throwing paint all over the page. He's not American, but he's affiliated with Chicago's Teklife crew (DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad, etc.) and divides his time between Baltimore and Brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you'll ever hear. Local Action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an EP wasn't enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, Scales.

Some of Scales has already seen the light of day through Youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. Some tracks sound cleaner than others; that's because they're newer. That's how these things work. What is consistent throughout Scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, Jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. These aren't trax, they're tapestries.

"I promise you Lil Jabba has detail and grooves cornered" - The Needle Drop

"Blew our collective mind" - FACT

"His sinister juke stylings had me spazzing fairly quickly, elements of world music mixed with jittery beats chopped and reworked into something from the underworld of sound." - Electronic Beats

"I listened to this track so many times, it's hard to say if the music is making me anxious to hear more or turn it off." - Tiny Mixtapes

Titans Halo Records presents Alpha Beta Gamma Remixes, an e.p that includes two reworks of the labels third reference by duo Brain Machine made by Irish producer Boxcutter and the Bulgarian beatmakers 1000 Names.

Jonas Schiefferdecker, known by the stage name of Joney, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, drummer and laptop musician from Hamburg, Germany. He took his first drum lessons at the age of five, and started playing in bands and orchestras by the time he attended high school. His musical influences range from the old jazz masters to the latest bass music producers. Since 2010, Joney has been releasing a broad variety of productions and remixes, ranging from jazz influenced drum and bass, to garage or glitch and trap influenced bass music, to house and techno club tunes. His close association to the Golden Pudel Club and the hanseatic crews named Eat The Beat and ill, both still gaining momentum with their involvement in any kind of underground activities, is seen as seal of quality by many of the cities punters. In December 2012 he released 'oh Allright' as the main title on Pudel Produkte 18 and a split single with Rampue on Audiolith as well as the digital 'illowhead' on Saturate!

"Lost In Love" is the first single to be taken from L-Vis 1990's forthcoming debut album, Neon Dreams. Continuing a collaborative partnership which began on last year's "Forever You" single, breakthrough Bristol-based vocalist Javeon McCarthy once again takes centre stage here. Through its melodious analogue synths, infectious vocal hooks and sub-4 minute running length, "Lost In Love" in many ways serves as the ideal entrée to Neon Dreams. This is the sound of L-Vis 1990 revisiting the routes of his dance music love affair.

Recorded in late 2010 and mixed in a remote studio during the Finnish snowstorms of early 2011, Donky Pitch present 'The Trick EP', by Helsinki resident and skweee pioneer V.C. Six original tracks of synth soaked computer funk, electro inspired slow jams and colourful hip hop heaters.

London based electronic marvel Kel McKeown - aka Kelpe - celebrates ten years of sonic boundary pushing with new maxi single, DRUT001/ 'Answered' - out April 15th - and new LP DRUT002/ 'Fourth: The Golden Eagle' - out June 3rd - both on his brand new label DRUT. Setting to work with a selection of analogue synths - Moog, Korg Polysix, Korg MS10 and Doepfer Dark Energy - the Ableton aficionado and purveyor of warped, cut 'n' spliced cliq-hop beats has delivered a handcrafted, 10-track masterpiece of an album which draws upon the strengths of his previous three. It's softer, warmer and more graceful than 2009's 'Cambio Wechsel', with a strong melodic element, and one which will secure his place in the canon of post-IDM greats. Kelpe says of the LP: 'On the whole, I was trying to make the warmest and most analogue sounding thing I've done, and I think it came out best on 'Answered'. The rest of the LP, in a way, is an extended build up to that favourite track on the record, which in itself was an opportunity to take leave of everything preceding it and go off on an epic trip.' Rollicking opener and curveball 'Astrolomy' brings to mind the mesmeric Anatolian guitar of 'After Gold' - a standout track on 'Cambio Wechsel' - swishing its tail to syncopated drum rolls as it dodges electro bolts-out-of-the-blue. It's followed by the lush, soulful, heavenly Baths-esque future pop of 'Beaks of Eagles' - with gloopy synths, hollowed beats and obfuscated crowd chatter - the kind of song that chillwave probably wanted to be, but never quite was. The shoegaze-ready 'Nice Eyes In My Size', with twinkles of xylophone and twisted, subtractive synths aping the guitar's wah-ing licks, is pursued and offset by the squelchy industrial clamour of ensuing track 'Single Stripe', which metamorphoses from techno to dream-pop in one fell swoop, glossed over with fade-out vocals and a denouement of synthetic steel drums.

South of Croydon raised Christian Sibthorpe (aka A1 Bassline) sent over a few things over the last 12 months that really had me paying attention. But it was Jessica (J. Phlip) ended up being the first one to drop "Falsehood" at the Spring dirtybird party in SF which pretty much sealed the deal. It just smashed the room to bits. Later on I met Christian in person when he helped me do a live radio show at Rinse FM in London along with Ben Westbeech and we agreed there that dirtybird would put these two tracks out.A1 claims to have been heavily influenced by early Metalheadz and you can really here it on these tunes. While "Buoyancy" is a smooth pulsing affair that really shines in the deeper mixes, "Falsehood" (which we are re-releasing from A1's Tighten Up label) really buries the hatched in your brain with bits and pieces of 808s, breaks and house hi-hats all forged together like hot iron.

- Huxley made his name with releases on Hypercolour, Tsuba and 20:20 Vision
- Early coverage and support from XLR8R, FACT, Mixmag
- Reviews confirmed in CLASH, Mixmag, DJ, Trap. In discussion with Pitchfork.
- Support from Pete Tong, Skream, Dusy, Maya Jane Coles

Over the past few years Huxley's name has been on everyone's lips in the house scene, following a string of deep house and garage-infused tracks for labels like Hypercolour, Tsuba and 20:20 Vision. His sound is incredibly distinctive, its swung rhythms rooted in UK garage, accompanied by diced vocals and chords that hark further backward toward originators like MK and Todd Edwards.

Huxley's latest release offers three subtly different takes on his sound. Lead track 'Lost Love' is stark and electronic, pairing swing percussion with keys that trickle upward through the beat. It's elevated further by shimmering synth licks that ripple across its surface and mark it out immediately in the mix. 'Who Am I' has been all over house dancefloors and Rinse FM recently, its downpitched vocal sample buffeted by thick organ chords. 'Walk 2 U' rounds off the package with one of Huxley's most explicitly garage-leaning productions to date, opening with a pirouetting two-step beat reminiscent of El-B, before a four-to-the-floor kickdrum halfway through transforms the track into a burning peak-time anthem.

Paradise Club Recordings are due to serve up another eclectic EP later this month - their first selection of what they have in store for
2013 - and it's one that furthers the label's trend of showcasing the many different styles at their disposal from their current roster.
Label stalwart Jabru kicks things off with 'Last Days of Rome', an aptly-titled cut that begins by traipsing through ambient swells and
looms, only to then brew up a truly decadent, central dancehall rhythm. The so-real-you-can-taste-it narrative of featured vocalist and
LV collaborator Joshua Idehen also lends the lyrical side a distinct sense of tangibility that serves to genuinely build upon the track's
woozy atmosphere more and more as the story progresses. Bristol's Hodge is on hand for the remix, and whilst his take is
deceptively similar initially, Jabru's tune is given a much more bass-inclined edge once it drops and it makes for a heart racing affair
by all accounts.
The EP takes a house-driven swerve with the final two tracks - Blacksmif's 'Gavelock' has lasers sniping constantly from one end of
the track to the other, allowing for its gloriously infectious groove to carve its way nice 'n easy straight down the middle. Equipped
with 'Solace State' (a joint effort courtesy of PCR up-and-comers Juno Sutton & MTD) and its jumping melody that blossoms with a
truly sublime vocal break, both tunes utilise many of the tropes associated with the modern house of the moment, and it's safe to say
with the dance world's current fascination on the slightly weirder side of the subgenre at full capacity, finishing the EP off with this
one-two punch was most definitely a damn good idea.

Vase continues its blooming series of stellar releases since its inception a few months ago with its boldest release to date: the Zodiac EP. This self-titled project by producer / songwriter Jeremy Rose marks a definitive episode in the young label's direction. The brain and ear behind some truly singular releases, Rose is responsible for production on The Weeknd's House of Balloons ('What You Need', 'Loft Music', 'The Party & The After-Party'), as well as 'Genesis' by Bay Area artists The Jealous Guys and the acclaimed Styrofoam Cup Session remix of Roach Gigz's 'Got Em Like.'

'Coolie Joyride' has a bit of history behind it. Long before we released Murderer by Spooky, or Over Capacity on our second release (before we were even a label) Spooky was best known for the Joyride Riddim. It was late 2005 when that was released, (a proper pirate radio anthem when that still meant something) a crucial interpretation of the iconic dancehall riddim Joyride. Coolie Joyride (or 'Coolie Dance,' as it was known) was basically the sequel, another harsh blast of dancehall grime in the midst of everything, battered by every grime DJ worth his salt. But it never came out. Spooky lost the files, the vinyl never happened. A couple of years later, we begged him to find them, he couldn't. All we had was a low bitrate mp3 and a load of old sets with it in, taunting us. Without wanting to appropri- ate Ruff Sqwad, a white label classic that never was.

Then a couple of months ago, Spooky got in touch, he'd found the parts, rebuilt the beat and sent it over. There it was, the .wav. So we had to release it.

On the flip there's another couple of bits of brutality. 'Electric Fence' is a nod to the classic Slew Dem sound, neck-snapping snares and harsh blasts of bass, gunshots, not much else. 'Rhythm & Slags Pt.2' is a sequel of sorts to the Darq E Freaker tune on our Quadrant release, Spooky tearing fragments of it apart and making something else altogether.

limted clear vinyl pressing. Taken from the album: Everything Is Boring & Everyone Is A F---ing Liar (produced by Boys Noize)
On the peak of the succesful wave of Spank Rock's sophomore effort, 'Everything Is Boring And Everyone Is A
Fucking Liar', Boysnoize Records proudly presents Spank Rock's latest single called "Nasty" featuring the
undisputed "Queen Diva" of Bounce Music - Big Freedia and hooked up by the lady herself Tyette.

For the third installment of our Club Construction series we proudly re-issue a modern classic straight out of Baltimore, USA.

Now "Bring In The Katz" isn't an old track, so why are we re-releasing it so soon Because it's been the biggest dancefloor bomb in our sets for months and we feel it deserves attention far beyond its native Baltimore Club scene.

The West London-based producer's original mix adopts the full widescreen effect, cascading deep bass throbs and a trembling metallic clatter across a ponderous 2-step click. Consequence's reworking wires in some heavy-ass sub-bass transmissions and a rapid-fire hi-hat rhythm, before Jack Dixon's late-night submission takes a clockwork 4/4 tempo and bolts a springy, low-slung bassline to it, accompanied by layers of velvety synth patterns.
Crossing is an EP of uniformly consistent quality, where texture and atmosphere take the spotlight.

erverse have been New Zealand's finest bass exports since the all-conquering Truth crew, and the staggering quality of their smoked out, eyes down dubstep beats is a reflection of the breadth of new talent to be found lurking on Kiwi shores. One NZ based label has also come to the forefront in 2012 with a clutch of razor sharp releases and it's only right that Innamind Recordings' inaugural vinyl release features a link up with the Perverse lads; an exclusively home-grown affair delivering two of the freshest cuts of sub-frequency superiority to hit the shelves this year.IMRV001 features a pair of equally devastating explorations of space, bass and weight. In a break from the norm, the A side Cross Examination features the distinctive lyrical deviance of the Hench recordings affiliated Beezy, whose cold and calculated vocal projections ride sinisterly above cavernous waves of taut subs. As Beezy's verses interweave with the darting, sparse drum incisions, you get drawn deeper and deeper into a bass-induced stupor; hypnotising stuff and the highest of production values.On the flip, Perverse have concocted a technoid stepper as dark as its namesake, Obsidian, which pulses malevolently with rapid fire salvos of staccato kick drums dictating the track's movement and direction. Contorted swirls of cinematic ambience and jagged synths create an all-enveloping soundscape, underpinned by a pulsing bass element designed to push a soundsystem's low end response to the limit.
It's a certified banger of a debut release and has garnered DJ support from various scene luminaries including Youngsta, Kryptic Minds, Cyrus, Biome and J:Kenzo.

The newest installment in our NSWL series sees us borrow two brand new tracks from the forthcoming Night Slugs Allstars Volume 2 compilation, cut to glorious 12" vinyl (with love and care as always by Precise Mastering). Two highly melodic, colourful R&B/Hip Hop instrumentals dripping with Slugs flavour.

On side A, the unstoppable GIRL UNIT expands on his gloopy, warehouse-sized rap beat "Double Take". Teasingly previewed in the outro of "Double Take Part 1" from his "Club Rez" EP earlier this year, now Girl Unit finally lets us have "Part 2" in all its bittersweet glory. The drums and FX of the original are deployed this time over deep analog bass, gorgeous layers of synth melody, DX7 bells and flanged toms borrowed straight from Prince. Few others could pull it off with such charisma.

On the flip, new NS signing, Kansas-based MORRI$ gives us "White Hood". Already sounding super confident, the young producer has cultivated a style that mixes subtle but powerful influences from Southern rap with highly melodic layered instrumentation and organic percussion. "White Hood" is driven by an irresistible accordion hook, framed by skittering hi hats, snare rolls and a massive 808 undercarriage.

Having mixed both sides of this release, NS executive producer BOK BOK takes the opportunity to strip down "White Hood" and pass its bare essentials through some lovely analog gear on the bonus cut, his "Accordian Dub". Listen to that chorus sing!

Dusk & Blackdown return with their comeback 12", allegedly featuring production from Burial ! After over three years spent releasing around twenty singles and five albums, building a seven-person live show,and filtering tens of thousands of fresh dubs for their monthly Rinse FM show,

The third release from the PMR stable showcases another precocious young talent in the shape of vocalist Javeon McCarthy, who's teamed up with fellow Bristolian Julio Bashmore to serve up a slo mo future-soul burner. Booming subs, cowbells and analog synths provide a brooding, dubbed out, 100BPM backdrop for McCarthy's plaintive vocals.

- Hotly tipped contemporary of Julio Bashmore, Maya Jane Coles and Eats Everything celebrates his regular Rinse FM Sunday show with the latest release in the Rinse mix series.
- Fresh from his biggest year yet with material for PMR, Enchufada, and Local Action backed by DJ's including Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, Dixon and Disclosure, as well as Radio 1's Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Fearne Cotton & Gilles Peterson
- Showcases new and unreleased material from Jessie Ware, Maya Jane Cole, Eats Everything and T.Williams himself in a snapshot of the UK's bleeding edge House scene.

T.Williams sits near the forefront of a group of producers twisting elements of grime and funky into a rough-edged strain of UK house.

His Rinse:21 mix, takes the form of an hour long, club-centred set. It begins slow and soulful, before slowly escalating through several different phases. A feeling of acceleration characterises the mix's first third, before Williams sinks into shimmering, loop-driven peaktime house for its middle section. It's around this point that the presence of grime - the genre that T.Williams first made his name in - begins to make itself felt.

Grime and funky are reprised during the mix's final third — a potent reminder of the pressure that still lurks behind the often smoother surfaces of Williams' peaktime selection. A series of ruff- neck grime/house hybrids follow, bringing the mix to a close in an exhilarating and playful blur of aggression and synthetic texture — and in doing so, hark neatly backward to Williams' own roots, and those of Rinse FM itself.

Mixed by the legendary Sir Spyro, DJ for international chart topper Tinchy Stryder and a long standing pillar of the scene and Sian Anderson, a hugely respected DJ and taste maker repre- senting the diverse sounds next generation, the 52 tracks here chart the establishment and growth of Grime from early pioneers such as So Solid Crew and Pay As U Go Cartel; formative figure heads More Fire Crew, Roll Deep & Ruff Sqwad, commercial titans Dizzee Rascal, Wiley & Tinchy Stryder all the way to the scene's cutting edge with artists such as Kozzie, Faze Miyake and Rinse's very own P Money, and Royal-T.
