Review:
Basher first came to our attention back in 2006 when he made his debut on Ram's sister label, Frequency. Now he's back with his debut album on Andy C's genre-defining imprint and boy, is it good! Pairing classic D&B concepts with uber modern production styles, it's a varied and eclectic array of tunes. From opener "Androids" with it's sci-fi SFX and squelchy bass through such highlights as the ominous, stripped back future funk of "System Shock" and the upfront dancefloor D&B of cuts like "Xerox" ft. Xtrah, it's nothing short of fantastic from start to finish.

Review:
Legendary darkside soldiers, the tech-stepping D&B duo that is Calyx & Teebee return with a rather different sound in 2012. Since signing exclusively to Ram Records earlier this year, the pair have continued to impress but this release really sets itself apart from the rest. Title track "Elevate This Sound" is a stripped back, vocal-driven number with gently warping bass and ticking breaks. Accompanying cut "Hurting" retains the vocal element, but contains more of the old Calyx & Teebee we all know and love, with harsh, warping SFX and bludgeoning bass stabs. A glorious return for Calyx & Teebee.

Review:
Calyx & Teebee's signing to Ram has been a bold, but shrewd move by the pair as they continue to take the scene by storm with their razor sharp beats and enticing sound. This next single "Pure Gold" brings in the vocal talents of Kemo for a captivating trip with looping beats, well paced lyrics and a hip hop swagger. The remix from label mate Wilkinson is also well worth checking if you like things a little more dancefloor-orienatated with motorbike bassline a-plenty, whilst Hostage transforms the original into an altogether different beast. Pure gold by name, pure gold by nature.

Review:
Ram's new golden boy Chords provides the official start to the summer with "Biting Point", a fresh and energising roll through techy D&B influences past and present. Straight up and to the point, it smashes in and maintains that momentum producing what's surely been the most addictive floorfiller of the year so far. "Amygdala" takes a full u-turn from the party vibes and heads down a deeper path. '80s drums herald a sober approach, but are quickly overwhelmed by a darkly destructive bassline and heavy stepping beats. Expect big things from Chords, Ram aren't grinning about their recent signing for nowt.

Review:
With a steadily growing fanbase on Ram, initially coming off the back of his inclusion on Andy C's Nightlife 4 and a number of killer singles, Culture Shock's showing no signs of slipping with "Bad Red". With a funky and crunchy bassline working in tandem with some huge lead stabs, it works itself into a smooth breakdown before coming back in with even more fire and menace. "Surprise" on the flipside is also a tasty treat, with some militant and unpredictable synths filling gaps between the razor sharp jump-up drums. Clearly a producer on the rise, look out for more heat from Culture Shock in the future.

Review:
Since the release of Andy C's Nightlife 5 album late last year, Ram have really taken the D&B scene by storm with new acts coming through like Wilkinson, Delta Heavy, Loadstar, Culture Shock and Mind Vortex. "Footloose", up first, is all pumping beats and chiming synth work; "Onslaught" features an early Pendulum-style build with epic choral input, falling into a tremendous drop with squelchy bass and pelting drums. Hive goes dark and tech-y with the raucous "Blackout" and Commix remix influential classic "Lunar Bass" in a resplendent final track. Possibly the best of the Nightlife EPs to date - highly recommended!

Review:
Hospital starlet Cyantific defects to Ram and teams up with close collaborator Wilkinson for a powerful brace of killer cuts. Pulling out all the stops with grinding, Loadstar style bassline and tripping breaks, "Touch Me" sees Cyantific go solo with crying vocal snippets calling "touch me" seductively with piano keys, spaced out atmospherics and catchy panache. Wilkinson then joins the party for "Get In To It" - another bassline monster, with driving b-line, murmuring refrain and punchy drums, held together with tinkling melodies and rolling fervour. Expect to hear these rinsed at raves over the coming months.

Review:
Releases from Ram are coming fast and furious at the moment. Since their landmark Ram 100 album just a couple of months back, we've had no less than five more singles from Andy C's seminal label. This, the fifth, from DC Breaks is just as strong as the rest. "Creeper" pairs a winding bassline with fidgety breaks and a vocal calling "the creeper!" intermittently for maximum dancefloor destruction. It's accompaniment "Horror" is another filthy jump up gem, featuring thumping drum kicks and spaced out SFX, it falls into a tear out anthem designed to cause a ruckus. Ram is on fire right now. Miss this at your peril!

Review:
Having brought us some smashers in the past, recent Ram signing DC Breaks drops a superb 4-track EP on Andy C's Ram Records. "Firez" gets the party started with its uplifting synth builds, tripping melodies and warm, fuzzy bass. "Era", on the other hand, resets the tone with pumping bass, snapping snares, humming mid range and plenty of dancefloor power. "Move Closer" introduces vocal talent Belle Humble with a ripple of Sub Focus style synth stutters and "Shaken" rounds things off with furious, pounding drums and sci-fi SFX. Brilliant from start to finish, this is an essential for any discerning DJ or D&B fan out there.

Review:
Andy C's golden boys DC Breaks are back at it again - 'it' being: 'making dancefloor-smashing, cut-throat drum and bass with a neurofunk heart of lead'. "Shaman" begins on an ethereal high, loading layer after layer of atmosphere around a ragged neuro bassline. Pulling up straight into one of the heaviest drops heard on a heavyweight drum and bass track this year, expect to be hearing "Shaman" plugged around the clubs for some time, especially at RAM's upcoming nights. Heavy stuff. "Let It Go" then is a bit of a surprise club banger, proper hands in the air stuff with a drop featuring enough compression to gather this years' harvest of bass faces already. And it's only February.

Review:
Exclusive Ram signing DC Breaks follow up their 2009 smash hit "Pickett Line" on sub-label Frequency with another hands-in-the-air anthem featuring lush, soaring vocals from Rox. DC Breaks fans may remember her from the duo's superb remix of "My Baby Left Me" a year or so ago. Catering for the Annie Mac market this time, they blend rolling percussion with sonorous, melodic strings and finish it with a glossy polish. "Take That", up next, kicks off with unnerving notes, sci-fi synth swoops and sweeping strings, before dropping into classic Ram tear out, complete with rowdy bassline, growling vocal sample and soaring synths aplenty. Massive.

Review:
A bold start to the year for Ram. A label known almost exclusively for D&B is kicking off 2013 with this 110bpm slab of bass drama from Delta Heavy. And they've executed the manoeuvre perfectly... Polished with devastatingly big production and spiked with all the aggy grit and grime you'd expect from Delta Heavy cut but just slower, this will work a charm in the ever-developing bass game where tempo ain't nothing but a number.

Review:
Ram crank up the noise factor on this mammoth mainroom troubler from men of the moment Delta Heavy. The label has been knocking out the anthems at a furious pace of late and this release continues the trend with "Overkill" a boundlessly energetic drumstep rollout with cut up vocals and lashings of high end synth action. For flipside "Hold Me" they turn in a radio friendly dubstep excursion with classic vocal snippets laced over a truly wobbletastic bassline. In a word, big.

BBK owner Fresh adds to the rich and illustrious history of Andy C's genre defining Ram Records, with his Future Jungle EP and zeitgeist terminology fully under his belt! "The Gatekeeper" pairs classic jungle breaks with spectacular bass riffs and lashings of dancefloor panache. Big synth stabs and wobbly bassline tremors prevail in "Ice Cream" whilst "Arkanoid", up next, sees Fresh venture into Nero-esque territory, with terrifying mid range squabbles before finishing up with breakbeats and sci-fi SFX ahoy in "Mission To Mars". An essential purchase to all junglists, past, present or future.

Review:
Having cut his teeth on Ram's sister label Frequency, the hardcore-turned-D&B DJ graduated with full honours on Andy C's Ram imprint last year with his superb "Soundboy", which was recently given the VIP treatment as part of the landmark "Ram 100" album. Here, Hamilton presents his next single. "Brainstorm" is all Loadstar style scraping bass and tough drum breaks, with scattering SFX, making it a neat fit with the Ram catalogue. Accompanying it is "Echoes", which is all sparkling, twinkling melodies, moody atmospheres and blissed out sounds for the duration.

Review:
Following a slew of tear out anthems such as "Soundboy", "Brainstorm" and "Echoes", hard house turned D&B producer Hamilton brings us some excellent new tunes on Andy C's influential Ram Records. "Deep In My Heart" is a power anthem in the making, with an empowered repeating vocal hook echoing within the tune, and accentuating the pumping drums, trance-influenced synth work and sweeping atmospherics. "Rich Kids" is an equally exciting venture with punishing subs, grueling synth sweeps and pounding drums setting the pace and tone for the piece. Scintillating stuff here from the Ram camp.

Review:
As a duo, Utrecht-based drum and bass posterboys June Miller have been creating their instantly-recogniseable music for five years, mixing heavier Neurofunk with flowing musicality and smooth rolling rhythms. "From Autumn To Ashes" is a futuristic showdown, stepping up to the mark and staring right down the barrel of those blistering breaks. Matching this balls-out fury, "Change" is a complete switch. Featuring the haunting vocals of Sofie Letitre it begins with understated depth before burying into severe techy breaks. Whatever June Miller works on is hit material and this release is no exception.

Review:
Ram's latest two-piece prodigy follows hot on the heels of Chase & Status with their next release on Andy C's legendary Ram Records. Having brought us one of 2010's undisputed anthems - "Link To The Past", this next batch of killer cuts is everything you'd expect and more from the Bristol-based duo. Think catchy riffs, melancholy keys, trance-inspired builds, a gratuitous motorbike bassline, cheeky trigger-happy motif and epic vocal sample in "Berlin" and then unashamed full throttle tear out on the flip in "Hit The Ground", with pounding dancefloor driven drums and thunderous synths.

Review:
Bristol's Loadstar continues to follow in the footsteps of their ex-label mates (Andy C's Ram Records) Chase & Status with a new remix-packed er, package. In terms of the original, all key elements are present and correct: rolling deep bass, earnest MC flow, catchy, bleepy hardcore-style melody and sensitive, touchy-feely-trancey breakdowns. Remix-wise Breakage goes for widescreen Eurodance, Rack N Ruin do moody house, Hamilton opts for some heavy Drum 'n' Bass chaos and Tinker Hatfield goes the baile-tinged dubstep route. Bonus track "Vatican Roulette" end things on an apocalyptic, dubstep-infused, Drum & Bass high.
