Review: The inimitable Dungeon Kru return to Liondub International and get us all gassed up with 'Butane', a deliciously broad and confident collection that slices across subgenres with razor sharp funk. Four originals, one remix; highlights come in all shapes and sizes from the dusty horn-heaving 'Bounty Hunters' to the steppy, grizzling, high-frequency blast-off that is the title track. Loaded with a firing remix from the currently unstoppable Maurizzle, it's another crucial dispatch from Liondub's camp.
Review: Talent-packed Liondub collective Dungeon Kru get busy once again with 'Drop The Riddim'. As is always the case with the crew the flavour is deep, dark and the vibe is rolling as they guide us through our paces. Highlights include the timeless bassline funk of 'Sound Boy', the progressive creeps and twists o the E.R.F collaboration 'Drop The Riddim', the eerie tension and percussive funk of 'Rumble Inna Jungle' and the vibrant finale with Bandit Emcee 'Level Up'.
Review: The internatty Liondub collective Dungeon Kru link up the massive for this generous co-lab collection. Liondub and Bandit MC join the fray first of all with the space-aged bubbler 'Fearless VIP' while Stranjah brings the twisted groans to the mix on the made-to-mix tear-up 'Untitled'. Elsewhere K Jah brings the bombs, Joely brings the breaks and Pharoah brings the deep and dreamy soul. Dungeon Kru bring the heat. It's a family affair
Review: From Toronto to NYC, Dungeon Kru land on Liondub International once again with another trove of gully treats. Five tracks, five completely different takes on the stripped-back minimal sound. Highlights include the hardcore-influenced pitched vocal pace and late 90s Full Cycle style bassline stamps of 'Loaded', the space ping-pong trippiness off 'Everytime', the ominous hollow bass tones and a theatre of 'Seriously' and the awesome twisted vocal and off-beat funk of 'Exactly'. Premier Kru.
Review: As ever with the Dungeon Kru, we are happy to see them back at it again, returning to Liondub International for a top quality display of collaborative energy across nine outstanding originals. The team invite the likes of T-Kay, Bandit MC, Yatuza, B-Plexx and more onboard to deliver a wide range of drum & bass and jungle creations, all doused in that classic dungeon energy. There's a lot to take in with this selection, from the super gnarly bassline growls of 'Navy Seal' alongside EzTee and ELE to the super choppy, unpredictable bass slices of 'Number 1' with SUV. It's definitely a project we would recommend exploring on long play, with our highlights including bouncing drum designs and clever dubwise sampling of 'Ganja Riddim' alongside Maurizzle, next to the screaming bass crunches of 'On Fire', which features additional work from Falco.
Review: Balls-out business from brand new southwest label 8Ball as they roll upwards and onwards from free downloads to proper official releases with this killer collection from Pyro, his nearest and dearest and remixers Mentah and Warhead. 'Grit' balances the rough with the smooth as a sizzling bassline rips through a beautiful trance-like arpeggio. Elsewhere Pick N Mix don Blckhry links up with the rubber ball bassline funk of 'Bad' and the remixers go all in... Warhead turbo charges the dancehall blazed 'System Corrupt' while Mentah brings some classic late 2000s jump up roughness into the mix. Bunch of ballers.
Review: Link-up, look smart; we've connected with one of the most exciting labels in dnb for a collection of their biggest hitters, rising stars and highest sellers: Liondub International. Headed up by Eric Liondub in NYC, Liondub International have broken and nurtured more new talent than most put together, and these first few volumes showcase. First up come these 15 examples as the likes of Kumo, Bou, Jayline, DJ Hybrid, Saxxon and many more all deliver timeless heaters. Highlights include Sub Killaz' broadsword skank-up 'Murderah', Brian Brainstorm's junglised slash-up 'Kill A Drumpan' and Bladerunner & Johnny Osbourne's ever-sweet 'Night Fall Dub'. All this and plenty more; whether you've been following Liondub since day or you're new to their consistent onslaught, there's plenty to catch up on here. Selector!
Review: Sheeesh, Liondub International aren't messing around this year. Proffering an onslaught of gully, regardless of any lockdown restrictions, it's been one of their best years in a long time... And it's just got even better now Toronto collective Dungeon Kru have served up their second extensive EP on the label. Like "Genesis" in April, the EP covers the full spectrum with vibes swinging from intoxicatingly funky (the double bass slapping "Sedative") to absolutely hellraising scattiness (the chainsaw bass buzzes on "Shut Ya Mouth") Elsewhere we've got a remix from the Young Guns championed Master Error, a VIP of "Impossible" and the beautiful finale "Dis Sound". Let's move forward....
Review: Liondub International have a bit of a reputation for spewing out some of the most venomous beats in the business and their talent for pushing some of the best unknown artists on the jump-up spectrum is undeniable. Dungeon Kru are holding up that standard and they're doing it in style, something clear right from the start of this EP. 'Pushing'' reels you in with heavy, pounding introduction and its inch-perfect drums are ideally suited for the twisting, gargling bassline that pops up around the corner. The other five tracks are all equally as pernicious and they make this one an EP to watch for sure
