Review: Intrigue is one of the most consistent liquid labels in a drum and bass scene which has a conspicuous absence of high-quality, indie liquid imprints relative to the rougher side of things. This is their yearly album and it's on an astounding 18th year, a monumental achievement that is marked this time around with nineteen top quality cuts. Soulmotion's 'Moments of Blue' is a highlight, with a sumptuously deep back end that swells and swells to luxurious effect, as tinkling piano notes flutter through the top lines in nonchalant fashion. Label boss Ben Soundscape steps up for a remix of Raw Q's 'NY State of Mind', an Intrigue classic that he strips back and rolls out, with a supremely crisp set of drums that underpin a simple but sleek bassline. There are more cuts from Joakuim, whose halftime exploration takes him to deep depths, and The Insiders & Mutt, who get funky and old school with their liquid sounds. Sick stuff.

Review: The yearly escapades of Bristol's Intrigue Music are entering their seventheenth consecutive year, a huge achievement for the label. Like always, the album is full of a broad range of tempos and sounds that embody the ethos of an imprint known more for its consistent quality than any particular style. 'So Many Moments' by Philth and Farz, with Collette Warren on vocals, is a beautiful, floating track that rests on solid foundations but which carries a lightness, a deftness which sees it hover in hypnotic fashion. Randall, MC Fats and Ben Soundscape get jungley on 'Rollin' Ruff', Octo Pi gets even heavier on 'Battle Cap', and the album is all round just an ideal LP for all the heads out there. Big.

Review: Intrigue's yearly Anniversary Collection is always one of the best liquid albums of the year and it's pretty crazy to think that they're on number 17 now, so shout out to Ben Soundscape and the rest of the crew. This album, then, is appropriately packed to the gills with liquid talent, including Phase 2, Lurch, Deviant & Sam BInary and more. Lurch's 'London Bridge' rolls out the funk in style, with floating piano stabs that pop in neatly above its solid percussive foundation. Phase 2 always doles out the goods and he does so again with the stuttering jungle of 'Destruction', and 'Cosmic Roller', courtesy of Deviant & Sam Binary, is another walloper full of depth. Oosh.

Review: The DNBB revival releases continue with this timeless groove quartet from Lurch. Classic soulful drum & bass laced with space and restraint, each cut still crushes hearts and dancefloors.... The jazzy introspection on "Someday", the cosmic ebbs and flows of "Never You Mind", the poignant mistiness and sultry steps of "A Sadness" and the feel-good piano-slapping on "Head Over Heels" all still hit home just as perfectly and authentically as they did in 2014. Get to know.

Review: Tastebud-tingling peak time soul from Lurch & Kasper right here. Neither party require introduction and together they complement each other perfectly on the silky groove workout "The Flavour". Shining with soul but jumping with a sprightly break that's sprung with bags of energy, it's summertime arrival isn't a coincidence. Meanwhile on track two we see Lurch updating last year's "Fake Tan Dub" with a darker, heads-down roll-out vibe. Crucial.

Review: Consistently fresh: Intrigue slide into the new year with two beautiful slabs of deepness from two familiar faces to the label - Joakuim and Lurch. Lurch rides solo on the dangerous, jungle-minded "Rudeboys". With its far-away horn and flute sample over sub-laden breaks, there's a cool air of Future Cut to proceedings as we dig deeper and deeper into the molten step groove. "Thoughts Of You" sees the pair combining forces with a delicate dusty old sample where pianos lilt and flutter around woozy horn textures. Stunning.

Review: Longstanding Soul Deep fam, Lurch returns to the LA label with four more precision rollers. It all begins with "Slip Away" that balances a Metrik level vocal but a Need For Mirrors style bass groove. "Lost For Words" takes us deeper into his contrasts as the piano shudder with emotion before breaking into a classic Planet V era two-step and funk groove. "Life On A Loop" is a dreamier, harp-strumming trip-out and it's countered perfectly by the dark steps, jungle twinges and ragga nuances of "Fake Tan Dub". Real.

Review: Club night-turned-label Intrigue has been part of the Bristol drum & bass landscape since 2003, and continues to lead the way for those who like their junglism jazzy, deep and attractive. To celebrate their 13th birthday, they've put together this rather fine anniversary compilation. There's plenty to admire throughout, with local lad Break's previously unseen "Winter Rain" - all jazzy breakbeats and twinkling keys - proving an early highlight. Veteran Bristolian and frequent early party guest Lurch delivers some thrillingly experimental flavours on "Tangents", while resident DJs and label bosses The Insiders get in the celebratory mood on two tasty tracks. Fittingly, the set finishes with Joakuim's "Cenzontle", which is little less than a classic chunk of liquid D&B gold.

Review: If there's one safe thing in a world of uncertainty, it's the knowledge that Soul Deep are a sure thing. If you're not already reaching for your debit card, let's give the run-down on this. Lurhc is a South London producer with a penchant for fresh sounding brass and vintage housey synths. Tracks like "Stars Shining" and "Love note" enter the chill-zone, while "Mischief" shines through with more bass-driven groove.
