Review: Woi to the oi. Bryan Gee's mighty V is now 30 years old! Chances are they're older than you... And way gullier too. Just listen to these first three anniversary cuts. Need For Mirrors takes a cult Dillinja jam and modernises it in a stylised, contemporary way that only he knows how. Urbandawn and Alibi whip up one of the most outrageous tear-ups we've heard this century and Think Tonk takes his 2020 banger Tom & Heavy to brave new ravey pastures. What an EP, what a way to kick off 30 years of beats! Original pioneer material.

Review: Dogger's Precinct hits its tenth release in true style with this beautiful VA from some of the label's nearest and dearest rolling out with soulful grace. Every track is a highlight as Dogger and Tyler link-up once again for the heart-breaking 'Try Again', LSB goes in deep and driving with his dream 'Dixieland' while Funktional makes his label debut with the sultry late night stalker 'Chemistry'. Elsewhere Zed Bias, Chimpo & Salo create pure soul gold with the essential summer bubbler 'Started With You', Minstate and Verbz get on the dusty jazz samples and fuse that hip-hop vibe on 'Get A Move On' and Think Tonk close the EP with the wavey and emotional 'Coastal Service'. Here's to the next 10 releases.

Review: Since their inception, there are few labels that have been able to tie the fusion of Jamaican system-influenced sounds with the UK underground as well as the Nice Up! Team. We have been absolutely loving their journey in recent times, with this latest selection seeing them gathering some of their biggest hitters for one of our favourite compilation drops of 2021. That list of heavy hitters includes the likes of Danny T, Tradesman, Red Eye HiFi, Taxman, Escape Roots and many more, all of whom contribute a fantastic combination of instrumental and vocal fire. The quality level is so high, from the footwork inspired drum rolls of Casement's 'Mutiny', to Congi's spacious rethink of Origin One's 'Dead & Buried' and even Gray's big room recreation of 'Strangers' from Mr Benn & Tiya X An. There are a couple of clear highlights for us, including Wrongtom's dubwise rethink of Seanie T's 'Veterans', which features one of the most vibrant collections of UK hip hop vocalists we have ever seen. As well as this, the Riddim Punks rework of Think Tonk & General Jah Mikey's 'None Of Dem' is anthem material if ever we heard it. Fantastic work!

Review: With loping dancehall funk and autotuned reggae vibes, this single from Think Tonk and General Mikey is the perfect envelope of music for carnival season. The weather is improving and the lockdown restrictions are easing, and these two have roped in two remixers to beef up an already perfect original. 'None of Dem' is legitimate dancehall, full of integrity and grounded in the partyland ethos that sees bashment, reggae and dub meet in a technicolour explosion of good vibes. Riddim Punks toughens things up with a drum & bass flip, whilst Red Eye Hifi lays out the kicks in an even harder rendition that crosses genre boundaries with ease. Lovely stuff.

Review: Jungle Cakes always tend to put out music that rests on the foundations of UK underground, the cross-over influences of soul, reggae, jungle and D&B. it's always a fresh sound and it always brings up connotations of Boomtown, free parties and sunny afternoons. This is a monster album curated by Aries and Kelvin 373, who have taken tracks both old and new to form a banging compilation. Bou nails it on 'Music Takes Me Higher', a rustic revisit to classic jungle sounds; Aries and Nicky Blackmarket roll things out in a tight way on 'Champion'; and Chimpo slams the brakes on 'DidDieDoThat'. We don't know the answer to that, but we do know this is fat. Big ups.

Review: This compilation arrives with a rich heritage of V Recordings compilations behind it, and Planet V has for a number of years been the flagship series for Bryan Gee's label. Edition four comes to a whopping 73 tracks and includes a mix as well, and all the familiar V faces are present, from Alibi to Paul t & Edward Oberon. All of the tunes have already seen the light of day in a previous form, and Disrupta and Duskee's 'Deep Thoughts' is one of the standouts, as Disrupta lays down a minimal yet funky beat for Duskee to rap lyrical over, something he does with serious presence. New gun SL8r makes several appearances, including on the excellent 'What U Need', which bounces along in a synthscape of serious depth and texture, its funky nodes nodding to the beat of a vintage blend. Crossover outfit Think Tonk also shine with 'Tom & Heavy', an offering unique in its stepping, breaksy percussion and one which oozes soulful class. There are dozens more to have a gander at, so take your pick.

Review: Think Tonk is one of the most unique artists within the V Recordings camp, as they blend hip-hop and reggae vibes with the pace and energy of drum & bass, an approach which matches perfectly with V's long, cross-genre history. 'Police Baton' is classic, with a funky, stepping drum line that underpins its snarling bassline and off-kilter, spoken vocals, a rhythmic package that smacks of carnival season and then some. The flip leans more towards classic jungle vibes, as a soulful melody stabs through the arrangement with the air of old school garage, whilst punchy drums sing their song below. Big.

Review: Mystery Manny badmen Think Tonk undergo the remix treatment with two of V's most consistent and forward-thinking artists. L-Side takes "What A Ting" apart and flips it into a brutal steamroller, continuing the high-grade uppsettery he's been doing with his remixes of Dillinja and Krust. "How We Do It Tonight" meanwhile gets boosted by Command Strange. Another V don who's yet to deliver a bad jam, he gives the original a super-tasteful treatment maintaining all the soul and heart of the original while adding a little extra weight. Thinking man's crumpet, thonking man's trumpet; everyone involved in this release can do no wrong.

Review: Bryan Gee and V Recordings do not mess around. They never have in the past, they're certainly not right now in the present and judging by this highly anticipated Future album, they're going to mess around any time ahead. 25 tracks from some of the biggest, best and baddest names in D&B (Dillina, Serum, Benny L, Paul T & Edward Oberon, Roni Size, DJ Marky, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Bladerunner, Saxxon, the list goes on) this one's been a long, long, long time coming... And it's been well worth the wait. From L-Sides massive remixes of Dillinja and Krust to Need For Mirrors super-revved "Lambo" to Benny L's incredible remix of "Days", this sums up why Bryan and his label are as influential and respected in the game as they are today. Don't mess around.

Review: V Recordings do some of the best compilations in the business and their brand new Foundation series is a natural recognition of that fact. They're not being hyperbolic with the usage of the term 'Foundation' either, because this is truly an overview of some of the scene's most foundational producers. Old-school Dillinja, Krust, Roni Size and DJ Die, amongst others, make up the roster of acts that formed an integral part of the genre back in the day. The new crew is also represented, however, in the form of L-Side, Think Tonk, Nasza Linez and loads more, all of whom bring some of that V-style heat. Wicked album - one for the heads.

Review: Bottoms up! V goes Manny masquerading once again as unstoppable fusionists Think Tonk return to Bryan G's homestead with four more high grade hybrid strains. Island vibes run through the four track EP as we're bashed, wavey and woozed into sunny side submission; "How We Do It" bumps with a yearning dusky haze and strong afrobeat connotations, "What A Ting" is a much darker stepper coded with demonic vocal textures and a full power pay off while "Medicate On The I" gets sticky fingered and smoky souled with almost trance-like undertones before "Live Our Lives" closes with a little harmonic drum resonance and Latin percussion. Bliss. You don't have to think too hard about this one...

Review: More fusion from the elusive Manny soundboys Think Tonk as they continue to melt down the essence of jungle, drum & bass and bashment. "Ride Out" is their shiniest dancehall stepper to date with an autotuned vocal that's almost foxy in its male prowess. The remixes pay full respect as Benny Page gets his sunshine D&B skank on while Zed Bias gives V two slinky 135 garage jams. Strap up, this one's riding for a long time to come.

Review: In case you've been burying your head in the cemetery, unknown Manchester troupe Think Tonk have been fusing some slick dark dancehall-influenced jungle on V since late 2015. Now on their third release, the vibes are as well-kept as the mysterious on who they are (they're too good to be new, trust us) "Setman" is a hybrid halftime piece with slow and low lyricism and ghetto tones while "Whatever You Go Do" brings Inja into the fold for a more full-flavoured vocal touch with far-away south east Asian elements that sits somewhere between grime, drum & bass and New Delhi. Magnificent...Once again.
