Review: When Guns N Roses welcomed everyone to the jungle all those years ago they promised fun and games. That's fine and dandy but these days a jungle welcoming requires a little more substance... Like stacks of crucial forefront D&B jungle tracks and a vibe that feels like you've spent 3 days straight raving at the Roller Express. And this crew of new-gen heroes - Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise - are the guys to deliver those stacks. Like all previous Jungle Cakes Welcome To The Jungle mix compilations, the selection is diverse and covers all shades and styles from unreleased gold to undisputed classics. All the tracks are available in their full length glory and there's a mix to boot. Trust us, no one is doing it like Jungle Cakes right now. And no one is doing it like Toby Ross, 4K, Oram and Rise too for that matter. One of the best editions so far!

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: Playaz are rounding out this year with their first compilation for quite some time, and their 2020 roundup relies on a fairly small handful of long-term label stalwarts across twenty tracks. In this case, less is more and the likes of Annix, Taxman, DJ Hybrid and Tyke all come seriously correct in this compilation, their collective decades of experience really shining through. Taxman's 'You Can't See' is absurdly good, with wonderfully stuttering breaks which emerge from shimmering synth lines before cutting into a raucously stabbing bass hits, a proper rowdy collection of sounds which get right to the heart of the Playaz sound. Bristol trio The Sauce pop up on the label with several contributions, including 'Spooked', an eerie roller with choppiness right at its core - big stuff from the crew.

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: The Playaz label has contributed some of the scene's most iconic tunes so rest assured that this "Playaz Digital Vol 5" album is absolutely jam-packed with treats a-plenty. D&B heads prepare to don your raving shoes, this one will have you more than excited! Ranging from Sub Zero's tear out jump up mayhem in "Spin Doc" to a remix of DJ Zinc's legendary "Ska", via Pascal's "P-Funk Era" and Hazard's raw and wobbly movie-sampling "Killer's Don't Die", no stone is left unturned across this excellent compilation. And for those who thought that Playaz was all raucous jump up, make sure you listen to Sub Zero's deep, murmuring "Protection" which flips the proverbial script. Something for everyone here!

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: 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: 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!

Review: Pascal and Hype's Playaz label storms into the digital world with their fourth instalment of their Playaz Digital selection. Taking it back to the mid noughties with iconic Taxman cut "Too Bad" and seminal G Dub classic "Tink Ya Bad", before accelerating through some influential moments in Playaz history from the core crew - Hazard, Original Sin and Taxman - it's brock out business all the way with rollicking basslines and grizzled synths. Along the journey of rowdy jump up and wobble-tastic party bangers, we have old favourites like "Selector" and "Scan Darker" before moving into more recent territory with "Harry's Revenge" and "Bubbles". Big, bad and heavy.

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.
