Review:
Bang! There'd been hushed tones of this opus for well over a year, and at a whopping 29 tracks, it's been well worth the wait. Showcasing their widest repertoire, within the first trio of tracks we're already treated to Latino swing breaks, new jungle jiggery and dramatic dubstep. This wide-eared vibe embracement runs throughout consistently; "Hey Mr DJ" rattles a few electro-hop cages, "Countdown" is quintessential booty-bass heaven complete with delectable UK hip-hop rhymage, while "You Can Be My Night" shoots us up to planet D&B on a floaty carpet of rave heritage. A solid calling card to every party in town, it's time to get bouncing...

Review:
Taken from Deekline and Ed Solo's forthcoming Bounce 'n' Shake album, "Paella" gets a through going over from newcomers Dodge & Fuski, who give it a slap-in-the-face dubstep remake with some vicious attacking wobbles, and stripper who adds an electro-breaks flavour to the original. There's also a vocal version entitled "Gloria" which benefits hugely from the canny tones of Christina Nicola, while Hip Hop don Million Dollar Dan spits hyped verses over an upfront D&B version.

Review:
Two legends of the UK bass and breaks scene, Deekline and Ed Solo, team up with a legend of Miami booty bass on this new collaboration on Rat. DJ Assualt delivers the freaky sex rhymes on "Gimme", letting his flow sit over a chunky, speaker-rattling classic breaks beat from the Brits. Swedish electro outfit Audio Stalkers turn in a heavy tech makeover, while Brighton turntablist don JFB gets his scratch on over a jittery dubsteppin' backing on the remix front. A great meeting of minds and styles all round.

Review:
Taken from their jam-packed, juicy fruit debut LP Bounce N Shake, "Number 1 Champion" sees Deekline and Solo riding bareback on a classic 90s garage vibe while Million Dan, Kidd Money and MC Flispide go loco on the mic. Chanting in chorus while taking their own bars very seriously indeed, the collective conjure up toxic levels of energy. Remix-wise Keith and Fixx up the ante for a traditional tear-out breakbeat remix and Smookie Illson polishes up the synth hook before dropping into a devastating 4/4 bass romp.

Review:
Awwww, ain't this sweet! Afro Whitey wants us to come and stay the night. We haven't had a sleepover in years! Let's hope there's going to be a midnight feast. How cool would that be? Oh wait, you mean he's talking about sexy stuff? Awkward! While we're not attracted to Afro in that way, we do love this great hook up with bass barons Deekline & Ed Solo. With a sing-along chorus and hooky synths a-go-go, this is a fine merger between the US diirty south and the UK south coast. There's remix styles for everyone here, too; breaks (courtesy of US breaker Dustin Hulton), house and dubstep. Shucks, this is so catchy there's a radio edit too. Don't sleep(over) on this!

Review:
Getting Million Dan to spit lyrical over your track is the ultimate go-faster stripes. Dancefloor hype is pretty much guaranteed with his instantly distinctive dulcets. Mind you, dancefloor hype is pretty much guaranteed with any Deekline & Ed Solo track. And having spent most this year making rather cheeky nu funk bootlegs, they've flipped the switch with this wonderfully upbeat roller. With equal measures of rave and skank, this is quintessential breakbeat. Fans of four/four should opt for DJ Icon & Ground Control's version, ghetto-minded booty shakers should head for RacknRuin's mix while the dubstep crew should aim for Revolvr's evil half-step mix. No one's getting left out on this one. It's time to reload!

Review:
Power-up! UK booty-bass stalwart Deekline and German filth peddler Hardy Hard get heavy with a hands-aloft raver that ticks every breakbeat box possible; rushy riddims, a sopping wet bassling, ceiling-punch pianos and a united-we-stand vocal. It's a tricky tightrope to tread but they've done it with nary a harness in sight. North Base take things up a few BPMs on their remix, driving it into more of an old school rave scenario. JFB closes with show with a switch-flipping dubstep number - watch out for the tricky rhythms beneath the croaking bassline: this ain't no standard halfstep procedure.

Review:
DJ Deekline once again fuses the underground with the mainstream in nosiest way possible. Here he drops a huge rhythm using a break from the Jackson 5 on the title track. On "Bring the Noise" he brings sub bass and urban vocals to Talking Heads' seminal hit "Once in a Lifetime."

Review:
A well-deserved re-issue of the classic "Sexy Cinderella" from breakbeat and garage DJ Deekline. Essentially a reworking of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back", this might date back to 2000, but it still sounds as fresh and essential as ever. For those who don't have a copy, this is definitely one to keep in your back pocket to guarantee maximum love from the dancefloor.

Review:
The Rat crew submit to the summer heat and drop the tempo for a super-smoochy disco-funk ass-shaker. Darrison's rep as the scene's most melodious MC remains intact. With such a smooth flow he complements both the juicy lolloping bassline and the bold, insistent strings. Need more hardcore welly? Head for Electric Soulside's swashbuckling old school rave breaks revision. Need a more rolling Ils style workout? Check out Breaking News' headnod to breakbeat's most golden era.

Review:
You might say "Ganjaman" is a smoking riddim. And not only would you be funny... You'd be bang on the money: this is one seriously well executed piece of breakbeat, just like they used to make in the early noughties when the sound first emerged. Palpitating bass, beefy kicks and sirens galore, Rubi Dan's toasting is the icing on the cake. "Renegade" is equally authentic. With a smidgeon of garage charm on the wobbly underbelly, and some kicking old school stabs to boot, this is sure to rock your floor.

Review:
Deekline's Rat brand looks across the pond for some raw ghetto-minded booty breaks business. With Kidd Money making sure we understand exactly how he'd like his female dog to perform her chores, it's down to Keith and Fixx - both strong fixtures on the US breaks scene - to lay down the crisp, euphoric hooks. It's a heady brew and guess what? It wurks.

Review:
A peck on the cheek promising imminent death; that's what a Mafia kiss is. Just in case you were under any illusions. It seems Breakspoll winner Mafia Kiss certainly isn't. While this ain't no peck - it's more like a sloppy, passionate reach-around - it sure is deadly. Taking elements of Nino Rota's classic Godfather theme and smashing them into a wobblesome, bass-ravaged breaks track, "Who's This?" will cause instant applause thanks to its familiarity while giving your floor plenty of surprises thanks to the twisted arrangement. With added triplet squeezes and more persistence than a team of angry tabloid readers, you won't be asking who Mafia Kiss is for very long.

Review:
Atlanta rapper Shy D and former cohort of 2 Live Crew's Luke proves his booty bass skills on this excellent hook up with electro producer Micky Nightrain. Switching up the hook from the Jungle Brothers' classic "I'll House U", the duo craft a punchy mix of ghetto energy with slick electro sonics, while DJ Fixx and DJ Chris B lend a Bmore/dubstep flavour to their accompanying remix.

Review:
Mutantbreakz are climbing up the breakbeat ladder with some serious focus right now, and hooking up with the distinctive spitter Rubi Dan is likely to take them several rungs higher. Rubi's flow is up there with the Ragga Twins and Million Dan in its clarity and party-hyping abilities, and the MB's funk-guitar-munching licks and sizzling bass complement his rapid chatter perfectly. If you're more in the line for some dirtier, electro-edged, chunky devastation then head to Kid Panel's remix. Heavy.

Review:
Finally, a bubbly late 90s bassline/UKG flavoured dedication to Richard Whitely, the spiritual host of Channel 4's Countdown. Wait, what? This isn't a special dedication to a revered TV hero? Oh, you say it's a block-rocking, mic-munching party joint with a So Solid style spitfire rap? Actually that sounds like a much better reason to write a tune. Especially when it comes with two exceptional remixes and two instrumentals. The two-step take is authentically sharp but if you're looking for something all the more skank-worthy, head for Atomic's sprightly fun fare vibe. Exceedingly cheeky. Richard who?

Review:
Trading big bars over even bigger beats, the night New Jam hooked up with Deekline & Ed Solo there were tremors in every studio of the land...A mighty booty-rap-bouncer, this was always guaranteed to raise a roof or seven. Now available in more remixed forms, the mysterious Tomlinson applies two different methodologies: the Bass remix is a swashbuckling breakbeat version with added steppy depths while the dubstep remix puts tonnes more emphasis on the half step, twisting and tearing up the subs along the way. Worthwhile reversions, these need your attention.

Review:
Quick couple of questions: Do you have a booty? And would you like to shake it? If the answer is yes then press play and clear some dancing space. You're going to need it. Undiluted rolling breakbeat with deep, resonate bass tones, Pure SX has founded the perfect bed for Emma's rather sexified lyrical spittery and Benzo's back-and-forth banter. In a nutshell? Quintessential booty bass. Breakspoll award winning Mafia Kiss provides the remix. Paying respect to the original, at first it sounds like all he's done is add a chunky break. Then it all kicks off on the first drop. Two great takes on a bootylicious banger, grab the shades and press play!
