Review: To celebrate an incredible run of releases and festival stage takeovers, CruCast have collated some of their most popular releases over the last few years into one handy compilation, taking the name 'Cru100'. Now over the past few years we have seen CruCast lay down a pretty dominant release schedule, which shows in this tracklisting as we reminisce with classics from the likes of Skepsis, Darkzy, Distinkt and Tsuki, with more recent bangers such as Bru-C and Simula's 'You & I' making it onto the listing also. If you are looking for certified dancefloor ammo, look no further!

Review: One thing we have noticed about the CruCast release model, is that it is perfectly balanced between their more established faces and a constant wave of exciting newcomers. This release pays homage to the first of those options as CruCast roll out the red carpet for an all-star affair as the likes of Skepsis, Darkzy, Bru-C, TS7, Tsuki and more come together for a scorching selection of brazen bassy badness. There are some tasty pieces involved, but the ones that leap out the most have to include Skue-K's colourful rework of Bru-C & D Double's 'Heater', along with a vibrant VIP mix of 'Jungle' from Nu Aspect.
Review: Has bassline ever been more influential than it is currently across the UK? I think most people would struggle to argue otherwise. To celebrate this, bassline heavyweights DJQ, Jamie Duggan, Skepsis and Darkzy join forces for an allstar compilation album, including a selection of full tracks and exclusive mixes. The full project includes exclusive drops from the likes of Champion, Shanti, DJQ, Flava D, TQD, Preditah, Bushbaby, Darkzy, Bru-C and many more. You are going to struggle to find a more comprehensive bassline selection this year!
Review: The recent return of TS7 continues apace with this new slice of perky, party-time melodic dance music. Throbbing bass, cheeky disco claps, shimmering trancey synths and sped up R&B vocal snippets, all add up to a big old bundle of fun. Waltons remix dirties things up a bit with a juicy wobble bassline, while the Mella Dee remix opts for a big of classy and restrained garage action.
Review: After a five year gap TS7 is back in action with some uptempo garage vibes that don't hold back on the bright and bold elements, especially on lead track "Nothing To Show". Keyboard strings, R&B vocal slices and a chunky organ bassline make for a cheeky romp through popular dance music. It's a theme that gets adjusted only slightly for a dirtier cut on "Head of State", while "Real Love" goes slightly moodier with its minor key. "On My Own" may intriguingly find favour with trance heads on the strength of the vocal, which could be lifted from a peak time anthem fit for huge arenas, albeit with some thoroughly cheeky bass.
