Review: When it comes to all things bass-related, you can safely count on the Lowup imprint for good vibes and absolutely all sorts of flavours to get the dancehall going! Usually, they're the masters of the EP format, but this various artists compilation couldn't have come soon enough; thanks to the diversity of artists that they have on their catalogue now, it was only a matter of time before the likes of DJ Mellow, Tommy Kid and Klan Guru got together under one roof. There are fifteen killer cuts on here, all showcasing something different and equally explorative, form the Arabic-inspired sounds of Gan Gah's "Violons", to Kid Cala's quirky house oddities, and Jowaa' creole club sounds. Outernational music for extraterrestrial people.

Review: Major Notes hasn't released an album since 2013's Dedication. However, "Nu African Disco Vol 2", which clocks in at five tracks, is probably his longest release yet. Continuing his African theme, we get a thrilling selection of his unique take on bass music - highlights include the digi-tropical bouncer "Fadama Riddim", the hypno house drum jam "Passa Passa" and DJ Spoko-style bleepy booty shaker "Dehka". Awesome.

Review: Ah yes, Major Notes steps forward with a new helping of Lossol Entertainment delight in a delightfully African kinda twist. It's a bittersweet assemblage of house, UK funky and of course, afrobeat. Sampling and twisting his way through three tracks, the Major does things properly. Check "Onofu", it's blindingly funky - highly recommended to fans of Daphne and the like...

Review: Major Notes has been building an ever-increasing reputation for well crafted future garage and UKF with a string of hot singles and EPs. Now the long player's finally arrived and there's no previously released material included. Instead, we get 14 of his freshest new cuts and it's an impressive debut. Highlights include the low-slung kinky beats of "Panic Attack", the lithe Afro-disco-isms of "Keep It Moving", the 21st century 2-step of "Do It Like This" and the deep, soulful electro-house of "Triumph".

Review: In its original form, Major Notes' "Abeka Lapaz Dance" is a pretty straightforward, tropical-tinged UK funky roller with more than a hint of "Township Funk" about its bleep melodies and swinging percussion. The remixes, though, take it in two wildly different directions. First, TemaGuy breaks up the beats on a garage-flavoured excursion that wisely keeps the original's bold, chiming melodies to the fore. DJ Eastwood, meanwhile, somehow manages to inject the original with a huge dose of rave-itus. There are wobbly rave riffs, skittering, Major Lazer style drums, fuzzy electronic noises and those melodies. The result is pretty darn tasty.

Review: This quietly impressive EP from Major Notes offers four distinct takes on future garage and UK Funky. Opener "Ama", for example, rides a wave of voodoo murkiness and tropical-infused rhythms before introducing a few rays of light later on. "Albino", meanwhile, goes for a similar voodoo feel, but adds odd, chopped-up vocals and marimba melodies for a slightly airier experience. "Abua" sounds like a booming, tropical take on Basement Jaxx's "Fly Life" (it isn't, incidentally), while closer "Antidote" is unflinchingly sweet and sugary - a genuinely happy finish to an otherwise intoxicatingly murky EP. Impressive.

Major Notes feat Koni
Played by: Ricky Simmonds (DJ RSI), Juno Recommends UK Garage, DJ Whitecoat, BIZT, Clear Conceptions, Major Notes
Review: At its best, UK funky can be one of the most joyously uplifting forms of electronic music. The key to great UK Funky tracks is always the grooves, which at their best offer a knock-'em-dead combination of addictive, almost tropical rhythms and heavy bassline pressure. This new single from Major Notes -accompanied by soulful vocalist Koni - boasts a fantastic groove. Combined with Koni's excellent vocal and some neat melodic touches, it sounds both grown up and markedly energetic - like soulful house given a massive boot up the backside. The accompanying Notesy Remix is great, too, and offers a deeper, less hurried alternative that gives the vocal more room to breathe.

Review: Londoner Major Note's impressive "Ashanti Jewels" and "Ashanti Spears" releases have seen the producer building on his hip-hop roots and developing real skills as a tropical bass wrangler. Pleasingly though, as on the sine wave frenzy of "Off Sync", he uses scratches and cuts to pepper his beats. The crazed UKF of "Blow Your Load" and the ethno-house of the title tune both go into making this EP a tasty treat for fans of fresh bass beats.
