Review: The kind of EP you wouldn't want meet down a dark alley at night, this also marks Mokujin's first release for someone other than Blaq (maybe they were too scared?). Anyway, it's their loss as we get four tracks of menacing post-dubstep - "Confessions" features stunningly haunting synths welded to a UKF frame, "I Can't Take It" is the sound of distorted discord, aka serial killer garage, "Oh Baby" is 2-step with issues and "What The" gets all heavy on the wobble. Killer stuff.

Review: L2S continue to pioneer the UK funky scene with this sublime release. The modest Swede Monz delivers four original tracks that bring bouncy baselines, pristine vocals and catchy melodies to his already soulful productions. Positive music that also delves into the underworld of sub-bass, this is an eclectic EP, not to be missed.

Review: Of himself, Bryan Vance Hollinger aka Mr Beeb, says this: "I put weird pads on things and cut up vox". We're assuming he's talking about making music here, and speaking of which, "Sip" is a classy slice of unadulterated UKF - all urgent 2-step beats and a laconic drawl. For those of you who like their tunes with a more exclusive sheen, then step beyond the velvet rope for Beeb's own VIP mix that's as smooth and tropical as the tumbler of rum on this single's cover!

Montpelier (Kdns remix) - (4:40) 123 BPM

from $1.49

Review: Respected as a home for future-garage stars of, well, the future, L2S score a coup by dropping this first EP from Ollie MacFarlane. Title tune "Montpelier" starts off on a calm, slightly spooked vibe, but quickly drops a sharp beat of thick kicks and claps that anchor the floating vocal samples and chords just right. "Home" is strictly on the dubby side though, with some wonderfully intimate vocal lines creeping into the mix, as well as mighty, tear-stained chords that make this a truly moving tune. Kdns also drops a mix of "Montpellier" that serves as a wonderfully radical departure - with a slowed-down beat and some Aphex-styled leads over an almost hypnotic drone that runs throughout. Stirring stuff from a highly impressive EP.

Played by: Mr Brainz / Orpheus:ldn

Review: Pledge pitches up on UKG/UK funky imprint LS2 for a two track foray into subterranean bass pressure. Lead cut "Coming Home" initially impresses with its smoky, clandestine atmosphere, but on repeat listens it's the skittering two-step percussion, delicious vocal cuts and organ stabs that really hit home. The same could be said of "Long Time Ago", which sounds like a late night tribute to classic British two-step; all simmering strings, booming basslines, female scat vocals and flexible beats. The whole thing sounds like it could have been made around 1999, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Both cuts are certainly impeccably produced.

Review: A prolific home for upcoming garage-tech producers, the L2S label have once again come up trumps with latest signing Pledge. The London producer delivers sheer gold on title tune "Unknown" - a dream-like fusion of chiming arpeggios, sine bleeps and crisp beats. MileZ also gets the chance to remix "Unknown", and builds on it by making the beats a little more upfront and slowly releasing the incredible torrent of synths, making it a real builder. Pledge's "Close To U" is also included on the release and takes a darker and more subtle approach, using droning synths and a huge filter drop to create a mean and moody future garage gem.

Played by: T.r.o., Juno Recommends Uk Funky/Garage

Review: There's something oddly brilliant about a forefather of UK garage music dropping a release on the L2S label - typically home to ace first-release future-garage artists. The man who dropped 90s anthems such as "It's A London Thing" hits home with the vocal joy of "U Could Be" as well as the speak 'n' spell jazz of "F.U.T.U.R.E.G.A.R.A.G.E". "Want 2 Be' is just as hot, sporting an enormous bass line and some crisp drums, as well as a commanding, Detroit-style narrative vocal. We're unwilling to say that an old master has learned new tricks, but this is an unexpected and hyper-modern EP of new-school garage warmers.

Review: Aiming straight for the upper reaches of the Kiss FM playlist, Shagos has teamed up with Jay Dizzle for this super-catchy upbeat slice of garage-pop. Things get a little dirtier on the 2-steppy dub mix, before going all digital reggaeton (with a few dubsteppy breaks) on the "From The Hood" remix. Surely a summer hit?

Played by: Commodore 69 (Hot N Heavy), Bunny On Acid, Mike Hindle - Immersed Audio

Review: Back on L2S for his second EP, Sorrow goes on an all-out garage assault with these four new tunes, aimed somewhere between Todd Edwards, Burial and Rooflight. The beautiful swirling textures of "Reminiscence", the ambient 2-step jack of "False Sunrise" and the loose and floating samples that flow in and out of "Darth Sharenghis Parkrace" strongly mark Sorrow out as a producer with a fondness both for future garage beats but also deep and dubby arrangements that are utterly irresistible.

Review: Another excellent debut EP sourced by the future-garage heads at L2S, this time showcasing UK producer Sorrow who delivers four highly unique and absorbing tunes on the Existence EP. Dreamy textures and deep atmospheres collide with smartly-sequenced beats on both "Dante's Journey" and "Existence", while "Aesthetics" works up a slinky minimal half-step that's anchored to some brilliantly gliding bass notes. "Jacob's Ladder" rounds things off well with the deepest and most soul-touching tune in the set - a tune that's confident enough to leave long, beatless sections that really hypnotise you after the briefest of listens.

Played by: T.r.o.

Review: Exclusive to Juno, Submerse and Resketch reconvene after their killer "Hold It Down" release on Well Rounded. The glossy thrills of "Get Away" are on another level though - tearing up female vocal hooks and layering them over a tight future-garage beat, replete with tear-stained strings that get slowly ushered into the mix. Submerse's solo joint "2nite" is just as essential, with some speed-garage edges to the beats, a chilly set of atmospheric pads and some militant vocal chops all coming together perfectly on a soulful, post-Burial vibe.

Review: It's fair to say that Swedish producer Totte is not one for the dark side of bass music. This is no bad thing at all though, as "Nothing Can Keep Me" is a wonderful-produced slice of prime-time, party-orientated dance pop with skippy garage beats, full, tough bottom end, bright neon synths and even some guitar power chords cleverly woven into the beats. "Late Night" is clubbier, but with its slick, soulful vocals and dreamy, soothing pads, this guy is still clearly all about fun music that doesn't stray too deep into dodgy EDM waters.

Review: Newcomer producer Troy Gunner joins the L2S camp with a pack of future garage strapped firmly to his back. Inside is a whole heap of serious sub bass pressure, soothing synths and pared down beats. First up, "No More Tears" chops up sinuous beats with a lilting vocal and velvety b-line; "Sworn I'll Forget" meanwhile adds a more sonorous, chiming element with Joy Orbison syle patina. "Association" takes us on a mellifluous trip down 4/4 lane, with clicking beats and bleeps and a minimal sonic palette before moody "It's Not You" concludes the EP.

Review: Exclusive to Juno, four-piece collective TRP drop some seriously impressive beats on their debut for L2S, with the excellent "Tear Gas" leading from the front with a fantastic blend of distorted kicks, tropical percussion and Detroit pads making it an essential purchase. Elsewhere, the smooth "Dreaming" is simply stunning, while "Outlaw" is a hectic mix of renegade sine waves and grimy stabs and "Squiggie" rounds off the set with a rough 'n' ready future-garage rhythm. A really impressive debut, and a group well worth staying in touch with based on this fine EP.

Review: Whistla's garage-championing L2S label plays host to this excellent debut from UK producer Viers, who simply smashes it on single "Night". With a radical rearrangement of the oft-sampled "Think" break providing a deeply funky and snappy flex to the beats, Viers lends it a spooked echo vocal loop and long-attack Juno chords, not to mention a subtle dose of rounded sub bass to form this future-looking 2-stepper. Fellow Brit Duncan Powell drops the remix on this one - keeping the same misty vibes but instead rocking an incredibly tight UKF-tech beat for the win.

Review: Some Juno Download exclusive future garage business here from Whistla, released on his own L2S Recordings imprint. First up the Swivel promoter drops the deliciously fresh and crisp title track "Darlings Of The Tripstream" in which an old school garridge beat sits beneath a contemporary melange of clipped vocal elements and a seductive horn-led melody. The breakdown is particularly sublime! This is complemented by the tougher drums of "Take Me On" in which multiple vocals are again whipped up into a visceral stew. Tip!

Review: Following on from his The Swivel Sessions for Sub FM and releases like "Swivel Like You Mean It", L2S head honcho Whistla keeps spinning with this new full length album. A long-time exponent and champion of future-garage, Whistla shows off his slick 2-step chops straight from the off with the creeping beauty of "The Underground", while he really lets fly on brilliantly hyped tracks like the raw percussion-fest "Music In My Dreams", the blurry bass-punch of "Horny" and the charging stomp of "N35". Excellent work all round, Whistla's done a very tough thing in making such a consistent and surprising dance album.

Review: While consistently being a haven for upcoming future garage producers, L2S hadn't actually dropped any new material from head honcho Whistla. Step forward these brand spanking new tracks from the Sub FM man: firstly "Knosis", a dark and twisted bass fantasy complete with hyped old school drums and trippy mangled vocals layered over epic strings, and, secondly, "Coconut Udder" which is simply brilliant. A simple yet jacking dry beat with some chopped and soulful guitar stabs and more blurry acapella work sets it off perfectly. Great to hear Whistla on such effortlessly funky form.

Review: One thing's for sure, Whistla is not one to mess about.

There's an immense remix package to accompany from the likes of Enigma Dubz, Kanji Kinetic, Bojcot Selectah, Totte, Itchy Robot, Rude Boi Brand, Impact and Smerk which each give their own individual twist on the original. And trust - it's well worth listening to them all.

Review: L2s' main man Whistla finally drops the long-awaited "Pillow Talk", backed with seven remixes from some of his favourite producers. With the original already a spankingly fresh slice of future garage, complete with brutally sharp hats and affecting detuned vocal shots, names like Duncan Powell, Para, VVV and KMA all step up to add their own twist to this essential tune. Special props go to Submerse who simply smashes it with an itchy, tambourine heavy mix that brings in some high-pitched guitar samples that sound thrillingly unique. Highly recommended stuff.

Review: Although this is technically future garage, "This Love" is what one might call Clapham house. The L2S bossman Whistla has really nailed the positive, jazzy and soulful good times vibe that has always defined the kind of dance music popular in West London. Conversely on "Future Jammin" the production is less traditional with staccato beats, trippy and repetitive organ riffs and a recurring wide-boy vocal sample that's add some appreciated edge to proceedings. Classy stuff!

Review: Self proclaimed founder of future garage, Whistla steps up for the 27th release on his own L2S imprint with the When Eyes Meet EP. A stuttering and tinny percussive groove is immersed in soft chords and deep bass stabs on "Never Again" which is punctuated by some exceptional chopped female harmonies. "London Love Story" is a neat example of the future garage style as abrasive metallic rhythms are deluged by an assault of synth stabs, overlapping vocal samples and grimey 8 bit basslines with psychedelic results. Grimey string samples abound on the rugged sounding "No One" and the EP closes on the future retro sound of "No Treasure" where old skool garage synths meet a fresh steppy riddim.
