Review: The Organized Grime crew have once again pulled it out the bag with this latest drop, as they continue to march forward with a seriously spicy combination, taking AMPLIFY's dangerous 'Something Special' original and hand it over for a pair of high octane reworks. First up, we see the legendary Taxman arrive, unveiling lethal synthesiser prowls and a constantly alternating back drop of subs & drums, giving us a seriously hard hitting overhaul. On the flip, T>I continues the high pressure feel with his more neurotic overhaul, focussing on more subtle synth beeps and hard hitting sub-sweeps, giving us a nicely balanced A & B side.

Review: A superbly executed EP here, with VIP re-works from some of the key bods from the Playaz camp - the ineffable don of wobble jump up, DJ Hazard and his cohorts Erb N Dub, Legacy, Original Sin and brother Taxman, plus Friction and Nu Balance and newcomer Jaydan. First up is a delectable re-interpretation of massive 2011 hit "Food Fight" which draws out the vocal and juxtaposes it with grizzled bass. Next is "Alaska (VIP)" which is a glorious, fast-paced explosion of sound, and special mention must be made of the wonderful "Casino" VIP by Original Sin plus mid noughties classic "Robocop" which is updated by Taxman. Jaydan rounds things off in rowdy fashion with a VIP of "Driller Killer". An expansive package and a must buy.

Review: An enormous four-track split EP from D&B bad boys Original Sin and Taxman with one D&B track and one dubstep track from each. Older Tindall brother Taxman whips out the movie samples, crisp breaks and Nintendo bleeps in "Casino" - cheekily referencing Zinc's 2001 classic "Casino Royale" - whilst crazed lyrics, a screwfacing drop and gritty, drill-like b-line prevail in Original Sin's "Penamena". "Take No More" is a wild cacophony of whirring Doctor P synths, circus trills and mid range mayhem and "Like This" is a more bass-heavy venture, with an early HENCH sound to it.

Review: Now here's where taxes finally get interesting... The addition of swords. Taxman shows us how: First you take your blade, then you chop up your returns and self assessment forms to shreds to the epic grind and dark swagger of this latest Souped Up banger. 'Never Give Up' cuts just as a deep but with more of an emotional blast and a sudden hurricane twist on the drop. Stylish.

Review: As a real legend of the game, it's always exciting to see new magic from Taxman making its way into the store, with this hard hitting two track display being yet another wicked addition to his mythic catalogue. We open up with some classic, modernised jump up flavour in 'Special Request', a constant flicker between gnarly synthesiser designs and choppy drum textures, broken up by some classic soundclash cuts for good measure. On the flip, the intensity is most certainly upped as the hard hitting bass swoops and expansive LFO textures of 'Out Of Your Mind' cause some serious damage, with a constantly shifting backdrop of drumlines giving us a very nice alternative. Hard hitting stuff indeed!

Review: Quite possibly the most consistent artist Playaz have ever known, Taxman is always there for you when you need him. After his monthly assault of tunes last year he returns with yet more fresh goods in the form of "Can't You See". Breezier and lighter than his usual sledgehammer signature, the sensual vocal, dreamy chords and subtle rave elements roll-up together with total uplift... And allow just enough space for a stinky bassline to cut through in all the right places. One for the dancefloor dreamers.

Review: Taxman is one of Playaz's most reliable bass merchants, a man who consistently, if somewhat infrequently, drops music that's full of the old-school jump-up attitude that made Playaz so good back in the day. His Echo Vibes EP continues on that trend. Four slices of dirty, roughshod D&B that gives you a dirty look as it steps over your body. It genuinely doesn't care; it's not trying to be anything smart or sophisticated; it's not looking to impress you. All this EP cares about is giving you a sick night while scaring you to death at the same time and it does it fantastically. Our favourite is possibly the title track 'Echo Vibes' - not one to be missed.

Review: The Taxman has come to take your soul, you're gonna die tonight! A stark warning to any soundboys who are looking to take the crown of Dominic Tindill as king of jump up, coming in the form of three brutal digi-dubs on the Playaz imprint. Lead track "Die Tonight" features a call and response between a naughty jungle style sub and what sounds like manipulated samples of an elephants trumpet, crazy but genius! The ominous roots reggae "You will die tonight" hook and the iconic jungle "Warning" sample will surely give any sucker soundboy the chills. "Radar Jammer" again goes heavy on the call and response baselines but this is an altogether more untameable beast. This is peak time rinse out sounds for especially rowdy dancefloors; one of those beats that make the MC start rhyming an octave higher when it drops. Hectic! Taxman switches gears for "NTS roller", perhaps inspired by the cult radio station, this one is a much more sophisticated affair; airy vocals, slick drum fills and square-waves. 3am vibes!

Review: Considering Taxman typically sends out a key release once a year, the fact this has landed so soon after his "Amended" EP is already a blessing. The fact that the sounds on here are properly next level takes us into bless overload..."Scanners" has a unique rolling looseness thanks to some addictive shakers (and an elephantine bassline), "Wonky Riddim" lives up to its name with a strange trippy sci-fi feel while "On The Wire" is a classic gutter-chomping riot piece with an array of stretched bass textures. "Chameleon" plays counter to the ruffage with a cool cosmic funk vibe that's kinda reminiscent of J Majik's early 2000s work while "TDK" goes even further back to the jungle foundations with some head-melting drum edits. As with everything Taxman releases - this is serious business from start to finish.

Review: Fewer things are certain in life: death and Taxman delivering outrageously sick bangers. Here we find some of his biggest and most reggae-licked cuts dating back to 2006 amended and revised by either the big man himself of his peers: his own twist on the perennial "Too Bad" is worth the whole EP alone thanks to its level-shredding bassline that could melt entire villages. Elsewhere Upgrade adds a few spikes to the mix of "Nightshade", Bass Brothers add a fresh bounce to "Original Ninja" while Taxman shuts down the show with a twisted new bass texture on "Creepshow". You know say this is ruff.

Review: Creepshow sees the welcome return of Dominic 'Taxman' Tindill with his first new material since last year's fine debut album Synthetic Visions. Once again issued through Hype and Pascal's Playaz platform, the six track release sees Taxman wearing his influences on his sleeve when it comes to the title track which takes both its name and ample sampleage from the 1982 horror classic Creepshow and will please fans of Tindall's classic sound. From here, "Reprazent" goes deep into a kaleidoscopic jungle groove with some nice steppy rhythmic touches whilst "Billy Big Bollocks" lives up to its title, and dukes it out with the VIP version of "Falling Up" for our favourite cut on the whole EP. Welcome back Taxman!

Review: Since his grand entrance into the scene via Hype's Playaz, Taxman has been shoving high energy D&B out of speakers the world over. Regarded as one of the top producers of jump-up around right now, this nifty selection of remixes comes as a little bit of a surprise. It's neither nasty nor ravey. What it is, is a beautifully crafted roller backboned by soulfully majestic vocals from Diane Charlemagne. For those still needing a hit of the hard stuff, a "hard mix" is included, pushing the track to its limits with trademark Taxman wind-up bass and explosive energy from all directions. A gorgeous track with tons of dancefloor potential, you definitely need this.

Review: Jump up boys and girls prepare yourselves for a party; Taxman is back with more badness on the Playaz imprint. Get ready for a couple of killer cuts as Taxman goes in hard in title track "Cool It Judy", which gets its title from a vocal snippet, and is all bleepy, descending bass tones, gritty mid range and pummeling drum beats. A dramatic midway breakdown adds to the tension and anticipation. Awesome from the offset, this is another classic in the making. As if that wasn't enough "Mega Death", its even more exuberant counterpart, ups the ante yet again with punchy snares, grating synths an enticing jump up energy that makes this an essential purchase.

Review: The creator of such bonafide jump up classics as "Too Bad" and "Scan Darker" comes back in full force with two of the gnarliest dancefloor monsters we've heard from the Playaz camp in a long time. "My House" kicks off with a simple 4/4 beat and synth, developing slowly into the more recognisable Taxman we all know and love; cue pummelling drum rolls, croaking SFX, cheeky vocal snippets and gritty b-line pressure. The unsung hero of the release though is undoubtedly "Thr33" - an immense piece of darkside craftsmanship with eerie, sci-fi movie sample intro, it swiftly falls into an infectious anthem with juddering drumbeats, pounding bass and rolling synths. Beastly!
