The Night Bass rampage continues to rage as they bring in Bijou for this exciting four track selection, packing a serious punch. The title track 'Super Phat' is a heavyweight collaboration with Ushi Qute, working her impactful vocals into a high pressure build up, landing on a synth driven madness of a breakdown. To follow we have the super punchy drum work of 'Do Not Disturb' alongside the distorted devisings of 'Expert'. The EP is rounded off with some major flare as the shuffling synths and hard hitting drum designs of 'Better Than That' run riot.

If you are looking for sunshine garage flavours then seriously, look no further than this super vibrant single from Blakk Habbit. From the off we are introduced to nostalgic drum shuffles, colourful vocal manoeuvres, expressive sub melodies and super bouncy rhythms, all the ingredients required to pull of a UKG insta classic. This release also comes complete with an extended club mix alongside a vocal club mix, making this one playable at all occasions!

The well respected Mean Streets imprint returns in serious style as Danny D gets to work on a super grimey four track run out, encapsulating the raw energy of the genre down to a T. We begin with 'Normal', a pitch bent workout of shuffling claps and unorthodox vocal stabs. Next up we move into 'Metroid', which is driven by its medieval style string melodies and yet more skippy clap maneuvers. Following this we dip into a legendary rework as the haunting strings of 'Mike Jones 2' work subtle magic before the EP finishes up with the title track 'Wildfire', a synthetic rollercoaster of grimey vocal inputs and sharp violin patterns.

The Stictly Flava camp have been on a serious roll of late, putting together some of the most exciting UKG and 2-step releases on the market. Here we see them bring together three high profile remixes of the super well received 'Selfish' from Jay Barrett. We begin with Soulecta's spicy recreation, before landing on incredibly choppy overhaul. Finally, Limita brings in a powerful presence as he puts down some vibrant skippy chord movements and sharp drum ideals, putting the finishing touches on a very well thought out remix project.

Having been previously premiered on the new Threethousand website, we see Killjoy and Smokey 'Bubblin B' lead the way with the super groovy 'Voices In My Head' alongside Shantie and the old school pulse rolls of 'Where's Larry'. We also get gifted a breaksy funky fusion as 9TRANE and Arridim team up on 'Plazma', whilst Cardinal Sound round off an awesome selection with 'Ayy', a carnival special set to turn any dance to a bruckout.
