Got It Like That (feat Bukue One) - (4:08) 135 BPM
Review: 10 years ago, Ed Solo & Skool of Thought's debut album 'Random Acts of Kindness' made a sizeable impression. Its bottom heavy, vocal laced, feel good affair of varying tempos ducked and weaved through the genres of dubstep, breaks and drum 'n' bass. Label manager Skool of Thought (who is also boss for the now Australian based Against The Grain label) and Ed Solo have decided to invite a small group of talent who they greatly respect to rework the key tracks: and keep the momentum going. Best known for its upbeat collaborations with MC Darrison, the album has some real party friendly moments, but also had its deep and dark moments. Highlights for us this time around were the hip-hop party starter "We Play The Music" (feat Darrison & JFB), the Jazzamatazz style street language of "Sometimes" (feat Bukue One & Pimpernal Jones) to the ska influenced block-rocker "Life Gets Better" (feat Darrison) and the jump up drum and bass destroyer "Always There".
Review: 39 tracks, 10 FX sounds and a full mix. This isn't any old slice of afternoon cake you might share your elderly neighbour or distant relative, this is a seven-tiered wedding cake full of every type of unhealthy, fattening ingredient you can imagine. And we're not stopping until we've chowed the lot. If you've feasted on Deekline and Solo's Jungle Cakes before then you'll already know how tasty this is; a selection of their own releases and similarly spirited cuts from the scene, all laced with dubwise, dancehall and skank-soaked soul. Highlights hang from every corner but you'd be mad not to peak at Aries & Gold's soul-flecked massage of Mr Benn, or Dominator & Logan D's brokeback bust-up "Cowboy" or Serial Killaz' savage repurposing of Freestyler's iconic "Entertainer". High calorie badness.

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: 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.
Ed Solo presents 1200 24-bit bass samples from subs to saws, wobbles to bombs, and dubbed out tones to searing leads for dubstep, drum & bass and hip hop producers
