Review: As a final outing of the year, DJ Pencil & The Cut Up Boys have joined forces with the ever-ready STEP2 team for a smokey backdrop of remixes, celebrating the full release of their anthemic 'Grooverider 2023'. The original track focuses on stuttered bass stabs and tidy vocal samples, giving us some exciting elements to play with. The project features fourteen spicy reworks from the likes of Dan Speed, DJ Lix, DJ True, Richard Wright and more, giving us a range of styles from jungle to 4x4. Our highlights have to include Daffy's moody rethink, focussing on gnarly sub-growls, and of course the rave-ready D&B overhaul from Chase Perry, giving the original and entirely different feel. Top stuff!
Review: We have another wicked gift here, courtesy of the STEP2 collective, who unload a seriously spicy box of remixes onto the world, welcoming back some of the most exciting names in UKG right now. We begin with two reworks of originals from DJ Pencil & The Cut Up Boyz, with Maarz firstly rebuilding 'Fiesta In The Market' into a chord-laden slap, alongside Shadow Of Light's more oldschool rethink of 'Come With It'. Next up, new school heavyweight BWK Project gets to work on shifting DJ LIX's 'Rinse Out' into a new school 4x4 bubbler, followed by DJ LIX himself overhauling Dan Speed's 'Tell Me That You Love Me' into a sub-busting emotive roller. Finally, Dan Speed takes a turn on the remix wheel as DJ LIX's 'Rinse Out' is given an LFO-driven rearrange, closing off this project with some euphoric 4x4 energy.

Review: New school garage will always put a smile on our faces, especially when it is approached with as much enthusiasm as both DJ Pencil and The Cut Up Boys always seem to bring to the table. Taking the title 'Flute Of Babylon', we see an amalgamation of classic 2-step vocal chops, party-starting drum sweeps and gnarly bass manipulation unleashed in one fabulous ball of fun, followed closely by four potent additional remixes. Firstly, Richard Wright gives the track a more squeaky feel, focussing on choppy drums and high ended bass notation, followed by both the tripletted drum stings of Rodent's overhaul and the junglist marvels of the Dark Dean & Hankinson rethink. Finally, Dan Speed unveils a sweeping sizzle of a remix to close up, focussing on high energy 4x4 drum rolls and some tasty bass action to match.
