Review: Bryan Gee's label roster aren't playing games this year: V, Liquid V and Philly Blunt are all laying down the gully law on a seemingly weekly basis. For this particular outing Serum takes the reins with another on-point escapade: "Bass Switch" is a superb fix-up of Firefox & Glamour Gold's 20 year old Philly Blunt original with all the classic early jump-up dynamics still very much intact but with added modern production muscle. "Easy Does It" maintains those ageless feels with a funky, bass-led roller that nods tenderly to both liquid (with its short, sharp organic flickers) and jump-up (with its absurd bass hook). Just when you thought Serum couldn't be any more poisonous...

Review: Want to hear something out of control? The ruffians from Hype's Playaz have come out to play for the seventh installment of the now legendary The Flavours series, and good gracious is it a scorcher. Featuring a tech-heavy stepper called "Very Exciting" (agreed) by newcomer Konichi to break you in, the second track is a deep, devastating roller courtesy of big man Philth with politically charged vox from P-Fine. The rest of the EP comes on strong with heavy-hitting tunes from Serum, the ever-gorgeous Chromatic and Nu Elements as well as some hugely promising newcomers. Do not sleep on this - you've been warned.

Review: Serum isn't messing around at the moment. Not like he ever messed around before, but it's clear he's upped his game even more this year. Making his debut on Doc Scott's 31, "Species" is a rattling dark stepper with loose, swinging drums and a droning ghostly bass gurgle that groans in and out of the mix with raw paranoia. "Red Blood" continues the dark drone theme with more heads-down messages. Rocking a Jim Morrison-style sample from The Zodiac, there's a nice touch of psychedelia amid the gritty dynamics. Proper.

Review: Serum on 31... You already know this will hurt you without even pressing play, don't you? For formality's sake, here's the 411: "Species" is a real deep swing grumbler underpinned with a brilliantly tuned moaning bassline while its VIP provides a more fluctuating take on the bass for more of an aggy twist. "Redeemer" tips a wry nod at "Shadow Boxing" with its endless sheet-like bass panelling everything in its wake and "Blood Red" is gulliness incarnate. Heads business, this.

Review: The oft collaboration partner of erstwhile jungle revivalist Bladerunner goes solo for this release on Bryan Gee's V Records. Skittering breaks wrestle with accelerating bass grinds and occasional Clipz-esque progressions in the pounding "Twin Blades". The track is broken up by the occasional crooning vocal snippet but for the most part is dominated by relentless percussion and thumping ten-tonne drum kicks. In contrast, "New Era" sees the return of the aforementioned Bladerunner for a much punchier, darker incantation, full of cinematic SFX, rumbling subs and a grouchy bassline.

Review: Serum steps up for a seriously bass-heavy release on Ray Keith's infamous Dread Recordings. It's deadly by name, deadly by nature in the title track, as a tense, trembling string section in the intro gives way to an iconic vocal sample, and then the tune drops into a sub bass booming fray with gently ticking breaks and a deadening sense of foreboding. Accompanying this is "Prototype" with its menacing snares, eerie SFX and punishing bass wobbles, it's a track for the true D+B soldier. Approach with caution!

Review: Souper douper danger: Serum takes the controls for his label's second release with three more killer jams. "Earth Rot" pings and zips with a high frequency metallic rubber ball bassline while "Ripped Open" lives up to its name tears us all a new one as it stabs hard with a Mampi-style sense of focus and drama. Finally "Pulse-S" represents Serum's more leftfield sense of funk with a tin-of-bees bass buzz that wobbles raffishly off the kicks. Yet another soup filled with at least three of your five a day, once again Serum smashes it in his own unique way.

Review: Make the most of Serum's incredible output because at one point he's going to get arrested for murderation. And with this level of killer material, they'll throw away the key. "Black Metal" is the ultimate doom monger with its indecent drone texture that just groans malevolently over Serum's trademark rolling beats, "Ramparts" riffs on bag-rustling double bass while "Skeleton Key" strips the vibe right back to its essential ice-cold oscillating elements. Three more absolute killers from one of drum & bass's most respected artists right now.

Review: Oh Serum, how many pieces have you smashed 2017 to? Our last count was a billion but we may well be looking around the trillion mark with this new Souped Up special. Funk, humour, darkness and brute force are all at play here as we're treated to three more floor-burning classic Serum buzzes: "Hunchback" takes us back to Bingo's golden age with a riff so bouncy you'll be putting stabilisers back on your bike, "Nomads" is a little darker in its texture but just as funkily persuasive while "Road Dog" takes the Bristol sound, adds a hundred barking Staffies and lets them off the lead and right in to your face and ears. Tremendous stuff that's both classic, timeless and one of a kind. Salute to Serum!

Review: Back on Grid, Serum returns with Dread Recording's Bladerunner for a double-dose of D&B winners that can only be described as tight! The clean and punchy drums on both Walk The Walk and Warriors are a marvel, while slick atmospherics float over the top of the mix beautifully. While Walk The Walk has little touches of jungle nestled in between the beats, Warriors brings the bass and some hypnotic futuristic keys. Anyone who heard their last collaboration Snake Fist will rightly be very excited about this release..

Review: Long-time wobble specialists, Serum & Heist, team up for a slice of upfront D&B destruction on this latest Co Lab release. With some nicely filtered choppy samples and heavy hitting drums, Heist's remix of "Souped Up" is armour enough for the dancefloor, however it's the flip, "Rum Goblin", which provides the aural stimulation here. The David Axelrod-esque samples give the tune an organic feel that synths just can't convey. Don't be fooled by the lush, spine-tingling intro though - the bass and drums are still truly damaging.

Review: Powerhouse collabo business: Longstanding craftsman Serum joins forces with fast-rising duo T & Oberon for two understated space-travel rollers that shake and shudder with the perfect balance of shades and energy. "Take My Breath Away" is all about the star-gazing; the pads, vocals and extra-sweeping chords live up to the title while a depth plunge bassline ensures maximal weight and punch. "In Too Deep", meanwhile, nods its cap to classic house and tech foundations with a rising riff that wouldn't go amiss in a Stephan Bodzin set, neatly softened by a soulful vocal snippet. Fresh material.
