Review: The Vivid label is yet another one from Burnski who also runs Constant Sound and Instinct. He is a single-handed garage hit-making machine and knows how to tap into the next gen too. Here he calls upon Peaky Beats for a naughty and nasty three track affair that has retro feels but contemporary style. 'Can't Stop' opens up with a 2-step shuffle and steely hits, then 'Get Ready' gets more free and melodic with some boxing little melodic patterns and oscillating bass. Last of all is the most menacing and dark - 'Wildcat' flips into a dub wise swagger midway through that is going to blow up the clubs.

Review: The tide of Time Is Now continues to roll in as they once again deliver a tidy collection of originals, welcoming Peaky Beats inside for a selection of four original garage rollers. We open up with 'Road Runner', utilizing old school chord progressions and sine-wave driven bass instrumentation for a bubbling introductory outing, followed closely by the more shuffling percussion and dizzying organ taps of 'Cats From The Back'. From here, the intensity amplifies significantly as the raucous breaksy overlays and warping bassline action of 'XL' then arrive with instant impact, before Yosh arrives to deliver a cooling remix display as 'Road Runner' is given an even more blippy rethink, rounding off the project in style.

AK Sports - "Accept That All Things End & Your Life Will Improve In These Five Ways" - (7:55) 140 BPM
Review: Shall Not Fade's annual birthday compilations are always worth a look, not least because they tend to be packed with plenty of previously unreleased material from label regulars, friends and newcomers. This seventh birthday edition - the label's fifth compilation in total - is another epic, with 28 high quality tracks jostling for your attention. The track listing reflects the label's eclectic but largely dancefloor-focused approach, with highlights including the stomping big room techno darkness of Alan Fitzpatrick and Reset Robot's 'Alpha', the organ-rich New Jersey style peak-time house bump of Lis Sarocca's 'Oasis Floor', the bumpin' speed garage revivalism of 'All The Girls' by Main Phase, the warped, MC-sporting two-step wobble of Killjoy and Kwam's 'Active', and the deep and dreamy breaks/two-step fusion of 'Overcome' by Adam BFD.

Review: The Peaky Beats team has been firing on all cylinders over the past few weeks, with this latest link up with Stones Taro showing just how much energy is being poured into the PBR imprint. We open up with 'Leeds 2 Kyoto', a chord-driven skip through choppy syncopated percussion and acidic basslines, with the more pad-focussed synth sweeps of 'Wind Power Ship' then providing some immediate contrast. After this, the breaks reign supreme as 'Karate Cat' unloads a jittering fusion of crunchy drum samples and moogy bass action, with 'Demon Dubs' then giving us a final, stripped back, LFO warbler, closing us off with a smash.

Review: There seems to be no stopping the enigmatic run of releases we are seeing from the team at Peaky Beats Digital, with their founder once again touching down for another tasty four track run out. First up, 'Round This Town' gives a catchy amalgamation of blippy FX and gnarly sub growls, with the sizzling sub sweeps of 'That Day', alongside Papa Nugs following in close pursuit. We continue the punch-fest with 'Show Yourself', a more abstract approach to UKG flavour as flickering synth warbles lead the way atop heavily syncopated percussion, with 'Naboo' then giving us a silky, subby, spooky showdown to round off the project with a seriously haunted feel.

Review: Next up from the Peaky Beats crew, another top quality four track display, diving across both old school roots and new school production techniques as the party continues to expand, this time alongside Highrise. First up, 'Underground', a crunchy combination of high octane drum processing, 2-step themes and smooth sub work, giving us a high energy introduction before 'DRLO2HGT' gives us a potent bass thump to follow up. Next, 'Listen' dives back into the old school side of UKG production, with more impactful drumwork being met by catchy vocal shops and sizzling sub action below, before 'Marshas Champerz' deploys a more dungeon-like dubstep feeling, giving the EP an ominous feeling to close.

Review: Next up from Peaky Beats, another solid four track collection as we hear a continued delving into the expansive realms of UK Garage, a sound that has continued to grow in popularity and poise over the last few years. First up, skippy chord progressions and intensely rhythmic drum arrangements kick us off on 'Free Your Mind', a summertime showdown jam-packed with tidy vocal chops and smooth subs, followed by 'Zen Mode', a more old school sounding bubbler with the OG drum sounds to match. Next up, a serious sizzler in '2001', with this original being stuffed to the brim with moody subs and shimmering shaker textures. We then close off on '10 Rounds Of Dub', a more mystic switch-up, focussing on unique percussive feelings and moody pads to match. Tidy!

Review: Peaky Beats Digital have once again proved their worth with this delightful four track drop, seeing the combined flavours of both Peaky Beats themselves and Core Syndicate. We begin with 'Ripto's Rage', the first of the two Peaky Beats originals, giving us a very loose garage warbler with a strong focus on catchy melody riffs, followed by 'ACME', an aquatic dip into loose organ sweeps and cartoonish FX. Next comes the reign of Core Syndicate, introducing firstly the skippy 2-step drums and subtle sub work of 'Simple' to the table, with the more unpredictable orchestral hits and minimalistic drum arrangements of 'Vitamin D' to follow. Very tasty indeed!

Review: The Peaky Beats team have delivered another tasty little two tracker here, exploring the more expressive and rhythmic side of the garage spectrum with a couple of tasty boogie-inducers. We begin with the shuffling percussive plucks and metallic stabs of 'The Ultimate', a refreshing reel through old school 2-step flavour, with an updated production style to glue it all together. To follow, 'Zoinks' strips it back even further, working together a smooth collection of LFO manoeuvres, with choppy rhythmic energy running throughout its heart. It's a very tidy pairing that we are sure is going to cause some real damage across various different dances.

Review: For the first edition of the newly launched Peaky Beats Digital imprint, we see the don himself: Peaky Beats deliver a bag of seriously groovy garage originals, giving us three rave-ready hitters to enjoy. First up, 'Cat Call' combines a fruity selection of bubbling chord melodies and choppy vocal scraps, atop a lively percussive backdrop, before 'Brandi Dub' dives into some smooth R&B recreation, taking a classic vocal and giving it a bassy backdrop to bounce off. Finally, 'Cats From Space' gives us a fiery supersonic sweeper to close off on, focussing on spacious atmospheric beauty and a sleek finish to match!

Review: What a fabulous collection we have here as GLBDOM return for another spicy collection, this time delivering the fourth and highly anticipated edition of their 'Spezial Series', bringing us a 14 track journey through future garage and tech, with a dash of breaksy goodness thrown into the pot for good measure. We see a bag of heavyweights involved from the jump, with the likes of Groovy D, Tuff Trax, DJ Crisps, Daffy, Longeez and more all arriving with stunning originals to enjoy. The thing we have enjoyed about these projects from the GLBDOM team mostly is just how varied they can be, from the super skippy percussive clicks of L&F's 'Turming Tides' to the super minimal acidic arrangements of 'Stand Up' from Hartta. For us, the two standouts would have to include the pure nostalgia-inducing garage eruptions of Dubplate Pressure's 'Massive Dem', next to the super bubbly drum punches and emotive melodic inputs of Ease Up George's VIP mix of 'Less Heights'. What a wicked collection this is!

Review: As the Breaks 'N' Pieces team look to lock off the year in style, they invite Peaky Beats back inside for a sumptuous three track sign out. We begin our dive into this one with the scattered drum rhythms and broken-beat infused UKG switch ups of 'Put Em Up', a bubbling introductory track which sets the pace for the EP nicely. From here, we strive into a slightly more wonky zone as 'Feline Good' deploys punchy drum smashes and scattered rhythmic displays to deliver a saucy second helping, before the super-syncopated drum designs and clicky percussive processing of 'Ishval' gives the EP a solid finale. This is a wicked way for both Peaky Beats & The Breaks 'N' Pieces team to close out the year in style!
