Ski Mask EPPREORDER
Played by: AGENT K
Review: If you're worried about producers spending too long in their studios and not getting enough fresh air, or producers inappropriately dressing for an occasion, then save those thoughts for another artist as Agro is most definitely okay: he's currently out on the piste and he's most definitely wearing the correct gear as 'Ski Mask' will get those cheeks nice and warm with every slope-bound slap. Elsewhere 'Murk Nothing' wriggles and rants with the energy and mischief of a young Tyke, 'Porridge' will heat you up with its sludge, warm oaty vibes while 'Scum' closes on an ice cold vibe. Wrap up warm from face to foot.

Review: Hey Mario! You know that new evil sound you wanted for your spooky underground levels? Well listen to this! Yes yes, Agro is rolling out some true side-scrolling carnage here as 'Attack The Block' pops like 100000 1UP mushrooms. It's in good company: 'Cut The Mid Range' gets all choppy with the sick samples, 'Wendy On Wax' is woozy and wonderful and 'Contact' is just a straight up Bowser flattener. If this is the dark side we don't ever want to see the light again.

Review: Sub-liminal bossman Agro jumps aboard the good ship Subway Soundz with this feisty five track bass attack. The title track 'Discombobulate' sets the scene with its tunnelling subs and steam roller style funk. It's backed up by a whole load more goodies as the Brighton badsmith gets busy over a wide spectrum of gully grooves that range from scatty bass burps and chiselled two-steps ('Bumba Red') to utterly frazzling wobbles and bashy steps ('Stepper Irie') Keep it together.

Review: Sub-liminal badman Agro gets naughty this month with the massive 'Digital Armshouse' EP. His biggest release since his Bad From Morning album last year, once again we're treated to a whole range of spicy delights and low end lashings. Highlights include the sizzling rudeboy-calling title track, Taxman's epic twist of 'Bad From Morning' and the humungous rumbling subs and rattling fills on 'I Blacked Out' and the wonky wily funk of 'Reach'.

Review: Back by Tik Tok demand! One of Agro's earliest releases 'Noise Complaint' keeps the viral vibe alive as it returns in remastered form plus a whole new chapter. Still calling the council seven years after its first outing, 'Noise Complaint Part 2' keeps the same cheeky vibe and samples of the original but with a much juicier, rolling bassline. Still not giving any Fs, still not turning the levels down after 10pm, still bubbling with Agro's classic aggro signature, if you don't like it you can call the council yourself!

Review: Pow! Right in the kisser! You spend your days checking Sub-liminal releases waiting for a new Agro dispatch and he creeps up behind you with a massive collabo-fest on Gradient! Didn't see this coming... But with tunes as power as the sizzling, menacing 'If You Wanna Be A Killer' and the slap happy 'Exhibit A', you could certainly hear them rumbling down the street a mile off. Complete with crucial link-ups with the likes of good mates Amplify, Too Greezey and JTR, this is an absolute madness. Agro by name, banger machine by nature.

Review: Sub-liminal bossman Agro makes a rare appearance on Eternal with two brazen bruisers. 'Manmouth' gets all choppsy from the off with its futuristic bass purrs and heavyweight kickdrums while 'Big Smoke' celebrates the artist's recent move to London with trippy elements, a bassline made of pure slime and some subtle but very clever drum edits. High grade as always from the south coast soldier.

Review: Sub-liminal Recordings chief Ben Carvin aka Agro is responsible for one of the best drum n' bass long-players this year in the form of Bad From Morning. In the last few months, there's been a steady stream of remixes being released and here's the latest installment of reinforced rollers. Kent's Teej does his best impression of a classic DJ Krust style minimal steppa on his rendition of "Thuggish", Xav remixes "Let's Get Frisky" (feat Mr Traumatik/Devilman) into a jump-up themed jam that's sure to get the lighters in the air, and Yatuza who surfaced on the label last week with an awesome EP returns here for a remix of "Eagle Clan".

Review: Following up a great release by Yatuza a few weeks ago, label staple DJ Agro returns to Sub-liminal Recordings to follow up last year's ripper "Thuggish", taken from his Bad From Morning LP which receives a couple of nice reworks here. Kent's Teej (Nuusic/Co-Lab Recordings/OCC) gets onboard to take the jump-up vibe of the original into emotive, intelligent drum 'n' bass territory, until Agro takes things back - this time into snarling and ominous techstep realms - with his new VIP mix.

Review: Man like Agro adds more fuel to his album fire with a whole collection of instrumentals for your creative pleasure. Already out as a largely vocal-led album, and received warmly as something of a celebration of MC culture, here come the flips as Agro lifts the bonnet for all to see. 'I Get Gully' is a brand new original while 'Bad From Morning' originally featured Flowdan but is now completely stripped back for the world to see. Elsewhere other highlights include the sexy bassline wriggles of 'Everybody Down', the tension and tearing fury of 'War' (with Dreadnaught) and the off-the-wall bassine bubbles of 'Hit You Like A Creeper'. Vibes from morning.

Review: Agro is Ben Carvin, a drum & bass DJ/producer from Brighton and founder of Sub-Liminal Recordings. After nine years in the game, he has decided it's high time to release a full length - culminating in Bad From Morning. It features 14 killer tracks, many of them in collaboration with some hot names in the UK underground. From the title track; a moody sci-fi roller featuring Flowdan's wicked vocal delivery, to the dark side jump-up throwdown of 'War' (Ft. Dreadnaught & MC Foxy), mad steppa "Head Top" featuring Devilman is reminiscent of that classic Full Cycle sound, while "Everybody Down" with Flirta D is sure to give your subwoofers a good shakedown, as will "The Prophecy" featuring Velocity.

Review: Sub-liminal bossman Agro's remix project continues with this monstrous take on 'Tweeter Box' by Sub-Division artist Sinexia. The original (released last year) is a pretty stripped-back affair with a high voltage bassline and generous levels of sub. In true Agro form, the bigger the rig, the better it sounds. Meanwhile the remix from young Belgian Sinexia throws in a whole new layer of steamroller bass textures and pummelling drums for more of a straight up dancefloor dnb style. Box fresh.

Review: Sub-liminal sergeant major Agro continues his remix series with this very naughty twist from Mentah. Taking those big one-note drones and harmonic flutters of the 2020 original - which is also provided on this release - Mentah takes the track apart and rebuilds it with a supersized turbine blast basslines and a new drum kit that switches between crisp neck-snap two-step and bone rattling breaks. Comparable to a track like 'Dirty Chopper' in its relentlessness and bullnosed drive, once again both the remix and the original are 10/10 scenarios for any discerning dnb DJ right now.

Complete with an instrumental if you find Mr Traumatik & Devilman's pervy bars a little risqu?.

Review: One of the regular labels we feature are Sub-Liminal, a wicked little imprint that puts out a diverse sound ranging from techy rollers to jump-up steppers and even liquidy numbers. This week they've arrived with an EP from Agro, who, across six tracks, spans various tones and styles, all of them rooted in a sense of dancefloor aggressiveness and all of them top-notch. 'Claap Up' is a highlight, its rolling percussive line isn't the paciest but is loping and satisfying, whilst a gargling bass and sweeping reeces sit just above and inject all the force. 'Data Entry' is also a wicked track, with a lovely, stripped back drum line that's full of moody sonics. Top stuff.

Review: Sub-liminal Recordings are a regular presence on these pages, their music is precise and damaging and they're back this week with a single from Agro. Timbuk 4 is a two-tracker that relies on its wavey concoctions of low-frequency movement to impress, with hard percussive knocks resting nicely underneath. 'Fair Trade' is the B-side and probably our favourite, with Chats MC doing some serious work over a very creative back end. Lovely stuff.

Review: Agro is back on Sub-Liminal for a six-track EP that is Sofa Sound-esque in its emphasis on rough, vibrant percussion and rolling, dastardly basses. Every track on here is perfectly crafted for the dancefloor and it's all rooted in that wicked UK D&B sound that we know and love. The title track features Killa P on vocals, his tones wafting above a wobbly and pummelling back end which switches up into jungle for extra damage. 'The Cut' is similar but even heavier, with the obligatory Wu-Tang Clan sample that grounds it in a sense of history and nostalgia. Banging stuff.

Review: Agro is on Sub-Liminal with an EP that's full of, well, agro. He's roped in some of his friends for the release, including NV & Mentah, Leaf, Charlie Rotten and Toxinate in what is a full-throttle release from start to finish. This is clear from the off, as 'Don't Play' dives down deep into murky sonics and minimalist force for session that'll appeal to the real heads. 'Godfather' feat Lead has a unique percussive line that lends it an almost halftime quality; 'Gorgon Sound' is a naughty roller with a disturbingly scary sub bass & reece bass combination and 'Thinking Bout U' ties up the release with more dark atmospherics - quality stuff.

Tyke gives "Tank" a whole new harmonic body of armour, Too Greezey pumps the dickens out of "Settle The Score", Guzi gets his sharpest sheet metal out and adds some shred aesthetics to "Silver Lining" while Warhead soups up "Step Back" with added variations on the bass riff and proper barbed wire drummage.

Review: First there was dark... Then Agro came along with some disgusting gully riddims and the light was so strong man invented shades. Seriously; this man has yet to release a duff tune and here are two more examples of his scorching illuminations. The title track is understated, low slung and weighted in rich treacle bass while "Crazy Game" (with young upstart Guzi) sheds more light on the darkest, dankest of corners with a vicious fog horn Q&A and a breakdown that opens the gates to Hades itself. Time to get lit.

Review: Agro returns to Sub-Liminal with his fattest EP stack since last summer's "Settle The Score" and the word murderation springs to mind. The stench of deadliness is high the moment the stripped back kicks leave room for blessed sub wobbles on "Step Back" and the stank remains thick throughout; the slimy bass melts on "Silver Lining", the pungent jungle rolls on "It Came From Under Me" and the neck-snap steps and harmonic grunts on "Tank" are just some of the many highlights. Stinking.

Review: Having let off some serious stinkers on Hybrid's Audio Addict earlier this year Agro returns to his own imprint with five more blunt-nosed scudders. Once again, it's an understated affair which hits best with its low-swung technique - more rolling than jumpy, more grumbling that shouty, it's the type of tunes you'd expect to hear Randall play at 3am. Highlights come in the form of every track but don't sleep on the elastic bass stretches and sultry vocal on "All The Time" (with Raz), the ludicrously flabby bass on the brilliantly titled "Big Food Mover" and the epic, not to mention sandpapery, collabo between Aggers, Greezey and Kumarachi "AZR". Score settled.

Review: Agro - or Mr Aggravation if we're going to be all formal - returns to DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict with a walloping all-style five-tracker. Ranging from deeper, classically informed jungle shock-outs like "Bust Dis Ting" to creepy, toxic groaning rollers such as the Serum-style "Teasin'" and the loose-pants Full Cyclist wobbler "Culture", once again Agro is cooking up some truly authentic flavours that will work across both the jungle and jumpier sides of the dance. And that's before we even get to the killer remixes. Addictive. As always.

Review: Agro a-go-go.. The Sub-liminal bossman breaks down the doors of 2017 with four absolute flatteners. The story starts with "The Music" where a crisp, warm skank and vocal are soon shoved into a murky pool of low-end riffage, jump-up with added funk in the groove, this will spark up any dance in any corner. "Vengeance" follows on a meaner tip as stern bass and sudden amen flurries lick upside your senses and "Cold Roads" has one of the coldest drops Agro's ever created - sinister, moody and tubular, it is 1997 all over again. "Crush" concludes this fearful tale with the help of equally rising Leaf. Slapping and buzzing with a mild nod towards the Bristol sound and Clipz in his early prime - there's mischief in the moodiness. We'll let the music do the talking from here on.

Review: Fresh from his super bad excursion with Too Greezey, Agro returns to Sub-Liminal with five more originals. "Ambush" compounds the dust of the wild west for a gun-toting shoot-out style banger, "That Time" is a stretched-bass jump-up affair where Too Greezey plays a cool cameo while "Deep Plot" does the stampy tripletty thing with the kicks over a 40-a-day chest-rattled bassline. Rounding up we have serious heads-down rolls on "Not Fools" and madcap Hazard-style riffage on "Watch Closely". Heavy.

Review: A lucky seventh release comes out of Random Concept Origins that follows music by the likes of Phadiz, NC-17 and RV. Introducing Brighton artist Agro to the frame, there's no questioning the producer's ethics here, delivering three unapologetic numbers of dubbed out, streetwise drum and bass. Find your more straight up percussion and drum tracks in "Hold Tight" with its siren synth alongside something more tea rout and dark rave in "Bassline Gang". Mutated metallic keys and two-step rhythms get their fair workout in "Slang" with a sweet RV collaboration, featuring Tony Montana samples, wrapped up in a gnarly jungle aesthetic. Agro and locked down.

Review: Representing the vibes and history of reggae culture except with a uniquely British urban twist, Agro & Too Greezey drop a five-track testament to his ability as producer here. We've featured his music in the past and every time we do it's a devilish concoction of force and finesse, an amalgamation of ability and acumen. 'Fled The Scene' is as big as it gets, both in terms of its steppy percussion and driving bassline; 'Shot To Bits' reminds of Kings of the Rollers with a bassline that roars out the stops; title tune 'Time Traveller' combines reggae atmospherics with a rolling finesse. Sick EP.

Review: Both Agro and Murky Digital share a common passion for making club-ready drum & bass and this five-tracker from the producer, featuring Guzi on a remix, is a no-holds barred display of why they're such a potent combo. The grime-influenced synths and halftime vibes of 'The Dirty South' make it an ideal title track, a gully u rban-edged track with serious crossover potential. 'Presence' is the other highlight, a down and dirty roller with a rough, mid-2000s vibe that takes this EP in an industrial direction but one that's also cut through with a jump-up aesthetic. Seriously cool.
