Review: Call the emergency services! Jedi returns with a 'Blazing Fire' and it's getting out of control! 'Hear Me Talking' is the accelerant he poured liberally over the blaze by way of savage staccato bass hits. The weirdo wobbles of 'Do Some Damage' is the sonic equivalent of whole XXXL box of matches he's thrown into the blend just for the lols while the switchy wriggles and stripped back funk of 'Badguy' is him admitting to his arson but smiling giving zero effs about it. Finally we reach the inferno itself; 'Blazing Fire' hits with fat horn-based bass burps and more heat, brazen audacity and naughtiness than a shamed celeb caught frolicking out of lockdown rules. Heaters for your tweeters.
Review: Next up from the Audio Overload gang we jump into this well thought out four track selection from Jedi & Instag8, who deliver a range of flavours with some very well welcomed guests. We begin our journey with Instag8's 'Angels', a sizzling system smashing bounce, combining angelic vocal lines with lethal bass processing and high energy breaks, before Jedi brings a much more jump up-inspired synthetic approach with his remix. Following this, Jedi joins forces with Licks Latore for 'One Girl', an LFO driven ball of bassy madness, topped with euphoric pad lines and well processed rhythmic ideas. To round off, Instag8 sends this one to the chopping block with his mash up remix, layering in numerous lazer-like synthesizer lines to add an extra layer of intensity throughout.
Review: Audio Overload who have developed a reputation for going in all guns blazing, having released a string of releases over many years which don't play nice with your feelings. Now, they're launching the second part of their Jacked compilations series and it's top quality, with sounds that span a wide variety of styles, from rolling stuff to dirty naughtiness. 'Nuclear Inspectors' by Falco is definitely in the latter category and it's definitely one of the best on the release, with a cavernous bassline of spinning twirls and a pulsating epicentre that pushes out the rest of the track in a slick fashion. One to cop, this.
Review: Man like Jedi returns with another batch of high octane party pieces and it's vibes from the off as 'Sounds Falling' takes a classic house sample and flips it into a riffy chainsaw party. Nothing but positivity, it sets us up for the rest of the EP: the strident euphoria of 'Sleepless Nights', the star-gazing, trance-like synth arpeggios of 'Shake Money Make' and the prize piece of the feast; 'Spiritwalker'. If you like raising your hands really high and feeling goosebumps, or you're a spiritwalker yourself, or you just adore sudden trippy bass drops, this one's for you. Don't walk away from this.
Review: Jack it up, jack it in, let us begin... DS2B's Audio Overload deliver their first VA collection and it's an absolute banger-fest. Representing many of the label's exciting new-gen artists, and even more off the label's far-reaching sounds and styles, across the set expect to be KO'd by the sound rampant sounds of Lowlife, anticipate high levels of energy from man like Jedi (especially the reverse mindwarper "Popcorn Playa"), enjoy some feisty VIP action from Midst and plenty more chaos from the likes of Pruf, DEEb and Falco. Jack it on, jacket off - let's get to work.
Review: The dust has barely settled from his Instig8 collabs and Jedi is back on Raw Motion. This time he's packing a whole brace of bangers of his own. As always, it's a broadsword selection that runs the whole gully gamut. "Mark Of Shame" is a subversive, slightly deeper jam from the young producer while "Masters Of Death" is pure mid 2000s riot flavours. Elsewhere "Magic Lamp" rubs you up the right way with its epic dancefloor-style intro and drop into vicious staccato riffage before "Mechanical Psychopath" closes the show on a wonky stripped back ruffhouse tip. Masterful.
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with the Bass Defiler, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'Bass Defiler' is a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. Nice one.
Review: We're not quite sure how Jedi manages to put out so many releases, to be honest, because the man is just always on it. Always on a mix of labels, this time it's Audio Overload. The title track is refreshingly futuristic, creative synth work and stepping drum smacks forming archways of diving bass force, a joy to listen to and we'd imagine pretty devastating on the dancefloor. 'My Nuts' sees Jedi on more familiar territory - naughty jump up that makes you want to hit your nan. 'Ain't Got It Like Me' is different again, a pummelling, fluid back end laid out beneath a rolling set of drums. Yes Jedi!
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with the Family Jewels EP, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'Family Jewels' is a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. 'Wig Flew Back' is another highlight, if only because the bright, vibrant introduction sounds more like a liquid track than Jedi's usual territory, and the build-up is exquisitely put together. Top stuff.
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with his Hello DJ EP, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload and vocalist Missy G. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'Fader' is a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. Nice one.
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with Dont Do drugs, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'Get Down' iis a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. Nice one.
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with Your Moms A Hamster, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'You Ain't Shit' is a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. Nice one.
Review: A collection of artists land on Audio Overload this week for a jump-up release that genuinely stands out from the crowd. There's a lot of competition in this field at the moment and quite a few releases which aren't up to scratch or don't differentiate themselves enough to get noticed properly. They do both here and it makes for a rip-roaring release that'll have you clenching your fists and scrunching your face with regularity. 'Free It VIP' is just astonishingly powerful, its synths aren't anything new but the force that emanates out from them suggests some seriously good production value. 'Make My Day' is the roller of the bunch and, packing with movement, its momentum is just unstoppable. Top release.
Review: Jedi is back, once again, onto Audio Overload and this time it's with the No Weed EP, a four-track exemplification of his production ability, as well as that of the A&R people over at Birmingham's Audio Overload. He's a regular feature both on Juno and on the Audio Overload family and you can see why, his ability to craft hard-hitting jump-up beats reflecting well the new primacy of jump-up within the D&B scene. 'Stinking Badges' is a highlight, it's snapping, steppy drums supporting a rough, gargled bassline that chokes its way down the range. Nice one.

The title track is refreshingly futuristic, creative synth work and stepping drum smacks forming archways of diving bass force, a joy to listen to and we'd imagine pretty devastating on the dancefloor. 'Turkey Boy' sees jedi on more familiar territory - naughty jump up that makes you want to hit your nan. 'Yeah Man' is different again, a pummelling, fluid back end laid out beneath a rolling set of drums. Yes Jedi!
Review: Audio Overload's most prolific and consistent acts Jedi returns with four more barnstorming blister bangers. "Inmates Of Alcatraz" starts the scrap with a bassline so strong it can bend iron bars and crumble concrete while "Floor Shake" brings the house down with sharp vox sample and a two toned bassline that saws through the speakers like timber. "Trick" is sensual enough to have you spilling your milkshake everywhere while "Drop It" rolls the bassline... Because it's got it going on. Hot.
Review: Last spotted on Audio Overload kitten canoodling, Jedi returns to the label with some serious club slapping sample flexing. "Partys Jumpin" takes us late into the eve with a banger for the people while "The Rain" takes it to the Peebles (ahem) with a window smashing soul/grot tear up while "In The Club" hits the Marques with a singalong riff of Macky proportions. Finally "Everyday" gives you all the deets you need to tear the club up. Serious party heat.
Review: Jedi gets a little post watershed with his latest EP for Audio Overload. We won't go into explicit details, but let's just say his light sabre is throbbing wildly right now. "Goth Girls" gets messy over a stripped back and heavily swung swagger jam, "Bullet Dodger" takes us straight to Belgium on a rocket of lasers, "Kiss Her Pussy" takes us down town with Jedi's sharpest and funniest vocal sample/drop combos ever. Finally we have "Play That Track" that hits and heaves a Majistrate style wide armed synth riff. Kiss kiss bang banger.
Review: Fresh from celebrating the label's 100th release with a full album of material, the madly prolific Jedi returns with four more fresh heaters for the spring. "Stomp Ya Feet" takes a deeper route than you might expect from dark side master with its elastic harmonic bassline purrs while "Strong" takes a classic house vocal and twists it inside out over a mischievous croaking bassline that's loaded with springs and jitters. "The Toe" shows us Jedi's trippiest side with a spaced-out sci-fi bassline that oozes over both sides of the loosely hewn roll while "We Are Twisted" closes the show with a classy roboticised bassline harmony. Stomp your feet then make a note... These are some of Jedi's best releases to date. Mighty strong words.
Review: Finally! Jedi's named a tune after the noise we make when he delivers yet another massive banger care package... "Ohh Wow" mischievously twists up an autotuned vocal dropping into one of his trademark swampy bass licks. Elsewhere he names a tune after your enemy with "No Dick", a warped snake-like head-shaker, and even makes some sincere confessions: "I'm Going Mad" is the sound of 100 circuit boards flipping you the bird while "He Hit Me" is pure chainsaw funk. Wowzers.
Review: Noisy, squelchy jump up. It's a thing right now, and it's a thing we whole heartedly love, it's energetic, fun and really gets the floor popping. Each track of the EP follows the tried and tested formula of complex simplicity, a tongue in cheek vocal with a loud, grimy, overbearing bassline providing melody. Although fitting perfectly in the new style jump up box, the tracks are different enough to have their own identity. Our favourite track on the release in 'Funk Phenomenon' which has a Taxman 07/08 vibe, Big!
Review: VIP biziniz: turbo-charged Jedi returns with two tonked up variations of previous 2016 burn-ups. "Wrong Words" gets its bassline flipped from a downward spiralling paranoid riff into something much more positive while the guitar-thrashing "Skeet Skeet" gets its jagged edges all ruffled up into a much warmer rolling groove that's reminiscent of Total Recall or Saxxon. This is what VIPs were invented for.
Review: Fresh from his halitosis heroics on D2B last month, man-machine Jedi returns to Audio Overload and fires off another salvo of alien lasers. "Go Beserk" commands in every sense with its bullyboy bouncy riff, "If I Ever" adds a little R&B soul to a classic jump-up style bassline while "Sound Killa" has that Radius-style hornet bass buzzing, zipping and popping with insistency. Finally "UFO" takes us to the stars on a rocket powered exclusively by slimy frog-like bass tones. Ready for takeoff?
Review: Averaging a cool 1.7 releases per month so far in 2017, the unstoppable Jedi returns to his spiritual stomping ground Audio Overload with four more firebrand fighting tracks. "Everyday" contains one of his most infectious hooks to date that sets the scene for some well known ragga chats mid-way. "Everyone Fall In Love" plays the big tease with a sultry vocal and synths fluffing you up before the toxic drop ensures full bass messiness. "Gonna Do" takes a completely different trip with a barnstorming 4/4 feel to the main drums and a divine hardcore piano hook. Finally "Submarine Lair" shuts down with a one way tongue-in-cheek trip down the sub aquatic poop deck. All hands on decks!
