Review: A huge new release on the Four40 label sees Regality kill it with an exceptionally fly mix of 808 kicks and snares, soulful vocals and distant harmonies on the excellent "Celebrate". A range of mixes back it up nicely, going from the dubby and mellow house of Charlie Banks & Stacklow's revisit to the more upfront floor-focused sounds of Squarehead.

Jiggly - (5:17)

from $1.49

Review: This latest cut from Four40 features Beacon on the production duties with some quintessentially hybrid bass music that spans electro, juke and UK Funky. The title track is led by a massive snare, which gets tempered by the bright and bold synths and R&B vocal hook. It should slot nicely into any number of styles, much like the more sparse Funky vibes of "When You Go". With restrained bleeps and a subtly booming sub, it's just left to the vocal looping to give a nod to the juke styles of recent times. "Jiggly" meanwhile plumps straight for the tech-house floor with a fat, driving bassline and rigid beats.

Watcha Gonna Do (Jay Robinson remix) - (4:17)

from $1.49

Review: Don't worry, Inspector Gadget's theme tune is safe from the bootleggers for another day. Hybu's material is completely his own. An upbeat, in-your-face flavour, it's unique amongst his French contemporaries, too. Two tracks and one release in total, the title track is a bumptious, bouncy number that switches from pacey squelches to soothing, synth soul with true style. Wooing both the house and electro crowds will be no problem with this particular gadget. "Watcha Gonna Do" follows, a full throttle bottle of party with a riff so squidgy you'll want to cuddle it - this is perkier than a box of Viagra (and a million times longer lasting!) Jay Robinson completes the set with a dramatic twist; stomping dubstep with eerie rave vocals anyone?

Review: With Morcee's last drop for Four40 still ringing in our ears, the London producer returns with "It's You", a searing dancefloor killer that combines some warped bass oscillations, a punchy steppers rhythm and warm melodic flourishes. On the remix front, Lakosa morphs it into a house number reminiscent of Mosca's more 4/4 moments, while Majora rounds off the package with a stop-start reworking which veers from dark instrumental grime to fast moving UKF in the blink of an eye.

Review: Mysterious new bass tunes - with more than a hint of tropical bounce - from Suckfake. Big funky grooves come courtesy of "Big Skank", while the huge "Bumba" adds a techno kick that's not to be messed with lightly. The icy grime-funk of "Bla" keeps things on a cunning yet minimal vibe and might just be our favourite so far.

Review: We're still recovering from the drop that was Suckfake's recent EP on Four40, and now they follow it up with three deadly UKF leaning weapons from DJ Spookz. "Turntabala" takes the essence of dub and combines it with incisive laser bass and rolling snares, while "Rock the House" places chopped vocals and insistent stabs over deep low end. "Amen Danger" might be the pick of the bunch, with it's chopped up amen breaks combined with devastating bass blasts.

Review: A big new tune from Liverpool bass man Lucent, with some killer remixes tied in on this release from Four40. After a killer detuned spoken-word sample, Lucent drops a mad yet threadbare rhythm that's all the funkier shorn of big stifling basslines. The mighty Tomb Crew craft an upfront raver on their remix, while Kozee's mix is a revelation - generating a warm and tight funk thanks to some distant beats and soulful keys.

Player - (5:31)

Let It Up - (4:37)

from $1.49

Review: Rising Leicester bass duo Everyman have already received support from the likes of Benga and Skream. This latest EP should raise their profile even higher with it's exceptionally well-produced sheen. Title track "Take The Block" is high-octane bass music pure and simple; "No Doubt" meanwhile is very retro house and certainly riffs off 90s classic "To Be Real" by Ladycop. "Player" recalls vintage R&B, but distorted out of all recognition by helium voices and stop start beats. Finally "Let It Up" is a dubby, percussion-heavy instrumental.

Indigenous - (5:10)

Take It Back - (5:04)

from $1.49

Review: Four40 return to highlight the considerable talents of Seraph, a producer with a keen ear for raucous yet moody steppers. "Freezing" goes in hard with its cavernous bassline and built-in spinbacks, while "Indigenous" takes things in a darker, more tribal direction with its rapid percussion and robotic synth textures. It's "Take It Back" however that's the real killer; sounding like it could be a lost track from The Prodigy circa "Experience" with the contemporary melodic sensibility of Lone or Machinedrum.

Played by: Wildlife!, Commodore 69 (Hot N Heavy), Futurewife

Review: Pale is acclaimed Northern producer who makes anti-bland downtempo music. New single "Silverstair" is floaty and gentle without ever being brittle or fey. Building from hushed electronic whispers, the track slowly flowers into an arrpeggiated anthem. Remixes come from his pals (apparently) and first up is 5kin and Bone5 who strip the track down to a sparse landscape full of off-beats and occasional bass wobbles. Kahwe opts for a more maximal approach: adding 4/4 drums, big hi-hats, trancey pads and an epic breakdown.

Review: Hybrid Theory returns to Four40 with his most substantial work to date, the five track Tropics EP. The title track more than lives up to its name, an infectious combination of bright UK funky synths, soca rhythms, heavy bass and tropical melody, "Top Boy" combines thick square wave bass with deep house stabs, while "Grime Alarm" is as raucous as its name suggests, switching up the energy between sections with crafty rewinds that lead into hands in the air rave moments. "Pita" strips things back with its simple combination of rattling percussion and deep subs, while closer "I Believe" takes a rolling flex and combines it with glittering keys and expert vocal manipulation.

Review: Midlander James Vine, aka Enigma Dubz, deals in tough, straight up, party-rockin' beats. Now he's back following a recent split EP with Sub Antix with his own solo release and it's a banger. "Fresh" features filthy post dubstep chugging bass and a messy 2-step swing. ""What Must I Do" is all heavy wobble craziness and an infectious hands-in-the-air female vocals. Finally things end on a head-nodding, sinister vibe with the menacing electro-dub of "Without You By My Side".

Review: Despite sharing its name with a Christian record label in the States, Birmingham's Four40 only really pray in one church, one with a soundsystem that boasts bone-rattling subs. Their latest signing, the mysterious Cloaka, is certainly all about the bass: this EP features bass so brutal and low it's positively subterranean. "Don't I Know You" features a low rolling bassline and eerie chants, "Booty Chatter" boasts harsh, stamping riddims and extra wobble on top, "Konkle" again centres around a hard, stamping kick but is more sparse and finally "Wuxi Riddim" is all about the voodoo beats.

Review: Grimey vibes abound on Four40 as Enigma, Screama and Trilla rep the 0121 emotions. Enigma's beats are the perfect balance of heavy presence and eerie melody while allowing enough space for Screama and Trilla to trade melodic bars with each other. The remix-list is mind bogglingly good with all flavours catered. From slinky, well-polished two-step (El-B) to haunted house trap (DJ Cable) via savage breakbeat garage (Filthy Vicars), Four40 have curated a very generous package that will suit every shade of bass addict.

Review: With Slick Don riding roughshod, this is an unashamed party joint jacked with all the London swagger you could possibly ask for. Slick comes across like Newham Generals on just a weeny dose of helium. Spitting with a smidgeon of sing, IKK's 4/4 garage riff is the perfect bed for Don's bravado (so perfect it comes with an instrumental). Elsewhere we find tech-minded tropical ("Crossover") and stripped back bleep bashment ("HS1").

Review: All aboard the remix express! Four40 follow up last month's b-boy two-stepper from IKK and Slick Don with four sparkling reversions. Pedro 123's re-imagination strips the original back into a plinky plonky trap attack that comes in both vocal and instrumental forms while KSH add much more of a bashy grime riddim. Then there's the obligatory VIP for added rewind pleasure. Get to the "Crux" of the matter... It's a vibes ting.

Review: It's bashment o'clock round Decibel towers judging by the sound of his new bomb, and the currently on fire Newcastle producer doesn't appear to be mellowing any time soon. It's all about the party here on "Skanks", mercilessly so, especially with the legendary grime MC Flowdan on vocal duties - there won't be a dancefloor left alive after this incendiary fusion of footwork, tropical and hysterical rave is dropped. Just in the (unlikely) case it doesn't rock your world, there are two extra mixes supplied - Hybrid Theory deliver a slower, wobble-heavy housey version, while the Enigma Dubz mix defiantly keeps the classic dubstep sound alive!

Review: Decibel and Flowdan tore things up with "Skanks" earlier this month, and now they're back with a tasty remix package spanning all types of bass styles. Network delivers a deep and dark bassline house version, pitching Flowdan's vocals down into the murky ether, while I Killed Kenny builds on the original's frenetic style with a rave-infused UK funky bomb, something mirrored on DJ Cable's similarly furious remix. Lol Gurlz meanwhile offer a moody and atmospheric take filled with syncopated, head-nodding drums, while Toni Moretti's remix offers much the same but with trippy hi-resolution percussive tones. Amazing stuff!
