Review:
UK garage legends 10 Below (best known for their work on Kele Le Roc's "My Love") step up this week with a pair of upcoming talents at their side - young London singer Kelly Pepper and Gracious K (cousin of Dizzee Rascal no less). The results are bubbly and typically tasteful, with Rhodes, pitched-up snares and thick bass stabs ruling the roost. The mix of Pepper's silky vocals and Gracious K's spoken flow works well too, making for an essential UKG release.

Review:
Influential garage imprint Ice Cream remain on-point with their current slew of tropical flavours, this being no exception. With a simple xylophone riff and a cute bashy beat, it's instantly infectious and works perfectly for MC Shantie's playful narrative. With lyrics like "I ain't coming to fight, I'm coming to jig" and "we even skank when the coach drives in", the positive vibes are in abundance and done with a spirit and authenticity that sits on the right side of cheese. The remixes are in fine form, too, covering every shade of the party from acid house tinged 4/4 garage (Dumplin remix) to cosmic deep dub (Subz remix) via a very cheeky two-step version.

Review:
Andy Jay and S-Tee are keeping up the good work with another new production that keeps them a fresh prospect despite having been around for ages. For this key tune they've left no stone unturned, supplying no less than six versions, all covering a different dance genre. Of the six our picks are the dark and bassy 2-step mix, the party-startin' dub house mix and best of all, the sultry edge of the tech mix.

Review:
Northern garage-turned-UK-funky 90s veterans Andy Jay & Stee team with reggae MC Rubi Dan to deliver this new anthem, which has been signed by alcohol giants Malibu. The title track is a body-movin', tropical beat-led, banger. DJ Q's "Back To 99" mix does what it says on the tin evoking the spirit of old skool UK garage for maximum joy. Fonti & Buskin bring out some serious bass and trumpets on their re-rub, it's all xylophone on Roll Out's mix and things get deep and jackin' on Dumplin's re-work.

Review:
Veteran duo Andy Jay and S-Tee have come a long way from their garage roots, now choosing sizzling future-tropical vibes instead. "Gotta See You Move" is a joyous hands-in-the-air party bomb with bonkers percussion, a rousing vocal from Sophia Ellahee and a cheeky Reel 2 Reel-style synth riff. Akira sticks with the 90s for a Nightcrawlers-esque remix, Ednasky delivers a killer deep and jazzy 4/4 garage workout. Elsewhere Prospectors Stateside go all tech-housey, LK1 goes bouncey-house and there's also a cool wobbly dub house mix.

Review:
Here we have a battle of the heavyweights as classic big beat/electro-house label Skint goes head to head with established garage imprint Ice Cream. Featured are two DJ mixes in which DJ Omar and Sonny Wharton mix up the back catalogue of each (including some exclusive versions), boasting names such as Fatboy Slim, X-Press 2, Tim Deluxe, Andy Jay and S-Tee and R.I.P. Productions.

Review:
An iconic and heavyweight garage label from the mid to late '90s, Ice Cream dropped a fair few classics in their heyday - as proved by this first volume of re-releases out this week. Songs don't get any mightier than Double 99's seminal bass-anthem "Rip Groove", which lead off this collection, while other forgotten greats like Stephen Emmanuel's choppy 2-step beauty "Hold On" and RIP Productions' huge house/garage hybrids "Work It" and "Love Is What We Need" simply put half of garage's new-jacks to shame.

Review:
It's great to see classic UKG label Ice Cream Records back in action of late. Here they've resurrected mid 90s garage pioneers RiP Productions, who even back then were way ahead of the curve in terms of futuristic takes on the formula. This re-issue of "Rush Me" sees the 1998 '10 Below mix' (another alias of RiP) lead the package, with a thumping, bass-heavy new vocal mix being the flake in this particularly tasty 99 cone.

Review:
Topical and relevant to the national consciousness at large as we accelerate through 2012, a landmark year for the nation's capital, Scott Garcia's "It's A London Thing 2012" certainly grabs our attention from the off. The classic original re-edit is a hypnotic piece with smacking beats and an enticing swing. The 2020 mix shakes things up with a futuristic edge and slowed down, swaggering rhythms; Billy Daniel Bunter & Sanxion whack in a whole load of purple wow-esque synths alongside a good dose of trance-like euphoria and dubstep squeals. Loki Boi takes things basswise with squelchy bass belches, whilst B Gnarly does just that with his stomping re-work, and then Certified Sickness gives it the D&B treatment.
