Review: Cor blimey. Oh my giddy aunt. Have a word. Oh my days. What the dickens... Whatever quaint British expression of astounded feelings you like to utter when something massive comes charging at you from the speakers, you better say it now as Deekline and Liondub link up for one of the most incendiary, soul pummelling and deep digging 'Welcome To The Jungle' collections so far. Authentic jungle D&B vibes across the 70 track collection - complete with the obligatory mix of course - sounds come from across the board. A.M.C to Tim Reaper, Serum to Oram, Phibes to Kleu. And that's not evening tickling the tip of this huge junglistic iceberg.

Review: DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle continue their 100 celebrations with this epic four track VA version excursion. Each cut hits hard as [IVY] brings turbo wubs to Volition's 'Why' and DJ Hybrid gets twisted over Kumarachi's 'Junglist Styles'. Elsewhere we have two crucial VIP renditions... Sl8r juices up his 'M14 Dub' while Charlie B goes all out ravey gravy on 'Rave Up'. Here's to the next 100.
Review: DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle has done bits for the new generation of artists coming through since it launched in 2013. Now hitting the big 100, the label is celebrating with a collection of incredible remixes of label classics from some of the best in the game. This first volume sees DJ Hybrid himself tearing up Conrad Subs 'Come Selecta', Toby Ross & Oram getting all steppy and slammy on the bossman's 'Run Dem', Epicentre going well and truly loco on Charlie B's 'Rotation'. Elsewhere Conrad Subs returns the favour on Mrs Magoo & DJ Hybrid's 'Back to 96' with bubblesome results while Charlie B finishes off the EP with a killer twist on 'When It's Time'. What a package... And there's more to come!

Review: Pow! DJ Hybrid digs through the Deep In The Jungle vaults for this crucial collection of jams and vibes for this ultimate VA release that flexes the full range of the label and represents a how exciting drum & bass and jungle are right now. The whole LP is one massive highlight but it's great to reload cuts like [IVY]'s four-to-the-floor bounces on 'Moving', the cut throat amen slaps and chops on Toby Ross and Oram's 'Wide Roach', get swept away in the emotion of Flat T's 'Women's Work' and get KO'd by Lupo and DJ Hybrid's still-crucial 'Soundboy'. Serious collection for anyone looking to juice up their jungle playlists.
Review: Boom: Manchester's Charlie B gets real on Deep In The Jungle with what must be his biggest and boldest EP so far. Six tracks of badass breakbeat action in total, the levels are set high by the powerful bounding energy of the title track 'Jungle Soul' and the acid house vibes of '303'. Deeper into the EP we bite to find tasty highlights like the BC-like dark rave energy 'Space Dust', the cosmic skankage of 'Jah Jah' (with Jfal) and Soulr flavoured funk of 'Waves'. What an EP.

Review: DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle slams straight into 2022 with another blazing collection of past releases, all curated and packaged together with the super sick stylings of one of 2021's runaway DJ success stories - Frenetic. Renown for her crucial three-deck blends and premium energy, she's the perfect match for the label's megamix as there are so many wounders and blinders to get through. If you know the label's output you'll already know this but just in case you're new to this Deep In The Jungle malarky, expect nothing but premium modern day breakbeat badness. Highlights include RMS's purring 'Streaks & Blurs', Toby Ross's mischievous '170 Style', Charlie B's 'Rave Up' and DJ Hybrid's tongue in cheek skank-out 'The Last Bumbaclaat'. Anthemic.

Review: Fire in the hole! Deep In The Jungle unleash more treats from their forthcoming 'Deep In The Jungle Anthems 8' collection from a range of talented UK souls. Charlie B kicks off the sampler with the aptly titled 'Rave Up', a high energy breaks-focused banger with all ravey flavours you'd expect from such a romp. Sikka takes us much deeper with the ice cold 'Streaks & Blurs' where big pads keep things tense and crisp throughout before Bristol's Murder Most Foul shuts down the EP with a bright and springy jam that packs one helluva riff ear worm on the breakdown. Certified anthems in the making.

Nothing To Lose, Echidna & Charlie B - "Downpour" (feat Dubbul-O - Charlie B remix) - (4:36) 174 BPM
Review: Grand Theft Audio 50 LP is the largest project in the label's history; a 50 track album featuring 25 brand new ones, and another 25 from their extensive back catalogue. They released them over four editions in late 2021,but here it is in its full entirety and, again, we'd like to stress that it's a whopping 50 tracks! From the fierce breakbeat science of Sl8r & Somebody Else's "Facking Jungle M8", to the dark side jump-up of Nothing To Lose & Echidna's "Cyclops" (Intraspekt remix), the widescreen cinematic rhythms of Cynical Gene's "Emerge" and Nvrsoft & Sola's emotive vocal drum 'n' bass roller "Falling" - there's plenty more where they came on the Manchester label's impressive celebratory compilation.

Review: A long time ago, in a land far, far away, Deep in the Jungle unleashed interplanetary destruction on a galactic scale. Not really, but they are channelling the force with this compilation, which ropes in some of the galaxy's fiercest producers to craft old-school riddims with a futuristic touch. Conrad Subs lands all phasers blasting with a bunch of different cuts, and his collaboration 'Rock On' with DJ Hybrid is an absolute percy, a sub-heavy wobbler that oozes funk through brass stabs and a rhythmic, catchy approach. Redline flips a light, fluttery intro into bassline-led low frequency devastation, whilst Kartoon gets old school with his remix 'Lions of Judah' by Sharpz. Unreal stuff.

Review: The second chapter in Deep in the Jungle Anthems 7 is upon us, and there is yet another cacophonous blend of fractious jungle riddims inside. Drawn from artists across the scene both old and new, this LP is the second leg of a journey that's pull you deep through the spiky, rough edges of a the jungle. The crashing force of K Jah's 'Quest' is a good example, as repetitive breaks needle their way into your soul amidst a wobbling sub and jazzy samples. Bish is on remix duties for label boss DJ Hybrid and his tune 'Badboy', which samples possibly one of dance music's most iconic film lines and does so amidst a relentless, rolling instrumental. Sick - there are over 30 tracks inside so get involved.

Review: Deep in the Jungle continue their onwards march with this, the seventh edition in their widely acclaimed Anthems series, a compilation that always finds the ideal mix of current and future talent to showcase. In the case of the former, well-travelled producers Epicentre and Kumarachi roll things out and tear them down on 'Light Em Up', which features a gnarly array of interlinked bass nodes and torn low frequency sonics, al underpinned by a percussion section that's the perfect blend of rusty and sharp. New talent emerges in the form of Trobe and Mirage, who have their first label release with '89', although you wouldn't have guessed it based off this tune's razor clean percussive edge and expert use of space, a hard thing to get right and one this pair blow out the water here. Rave samples, expansive basslines and a synth arrangement you won't be able to shake - unmissable. 34 tracks later and Deep in the Jungle have nailed every single one of them - big ups.

Review: Northern scene legend Adam Wigglesworth sadly passed away on April 3. This is how his friends responded... By compiling one of the biggest tribute albums drum & bass has ever seen. Just look at the amount of talent on here: Pyxis, Euphonique, Nvrsoft, No Concept, Exile, Euphonique, Dawn Raid and so many more artists have contribute to this 45 track album of which all proceeds go to Adam's family. From the blazing bass riff of Sappo's late 90s style neck snapper "Hannibal" to Exile's turbine bass growler "Symbiosis" via Sl8r's jazzy, almost Detroit style vibes on "The Mill" and various bits from Wiggo himself, this is a heartfelt salute from the entire scene to a man who'll be sorely missed.

Review: Flicking up the Vs, Manchester's GTA crew get busy on their fifth instalment of their Vibrations series. Nothing but pure fire from six exciting names in the next-gen game, it's top gear from the off; Sl8r kicks off with a vibrant croaky bassline croak while Hanm follows with a slippery neuro-referencing tech monster. Elsewhere Nothing To Lose & Echidna deliver a slamming Prototypes style floor burner "Imminent Danger", Charlie B gets all ravey and wavey on "Feeling", KS gets savage with roaring metallic bass and raw jungle break rolls of "Out Of Control" and S.Opress just straight up tears us a new one with the high voltage hum of "Gutter Thug". Good vibrations!
