Review: Buckle up for a high-octane ride with "Bomb Squad (Bou Remix)" on Low Down Deep Recordings. This remix by Bou injects fresh energy into the original track, taking it from jump-up territory to full-fledged drum & bass annihilation. The remix wastes no time in establishing its dominance. Gone are the original's playful elements; Bou slams the listener with a barrage of breakneck drumwork and a sub-bassline that will rattle your speakers. The signature jump-up sound is still present, but it's been twisted and contorted to create a more aggressive soundscape.
Review: Cor blimey. We all know how heavy Turno's "Power" was. One of the most powerful tracks he'd made at the time he named his album after it, anyone on remix duties had big shoes to fill... So it's a good job Low Down Deep have called in the best possible guys for the job: G Dub. Absolute legends from jump-up's most important era (and ever since) Sub Zero and Original Sin's G Dub alias go to town on the original, completely flip the arrangement, add their own take, textures and brazen sense of rolling energy. A powerful tune needs a powerful remix. This bangs.
Review: Manchester's North Base is normally found on labels like Shogun Audio and Audioporn, while Turno can usually be found on Low Down Deep or Sweet Tooth. Here though, these mighty titans collide on the Viper Music label. The results are typically explosive. A one-track release, "Third Eye" is a single epic that compensates for like, four of other producer's cuts. Beginning with moody synth work and an ominous rap from Harry Shotta, all mayhem arrives at 1:28 when the fierce metallic bassline and stop/start steppy beats blow up. Dancefloor chaos (in a good way).
Review: Italian powerhouses in their own rights, Turno and Gino link up for two of the most furious D&B tear-ups Crucast have ever released. 'The Swarm' is a hornet's nest of a track with stabby bass textures stinging and pinging all over the place while 'Hysteria' brings the lotion... Big rave flavours build up into a drop that's so disgusting you have a criminal record for just knowing about it. Think Original Sin down the gym every day doing 200kg deadlifts. Hysterical scenes.
Review: Non-stop manoeuvres: Turno's gripping the game by cohones this year. Flexing full axis, you never know what to expect, which makes every release even more of an exciting prospect. Fresh from laying down the law with Majistrate on Playaz, here he returns to Sweet Tooth with two left-of-centre jump up cuts: "Get Back" gets its funk on with a croaky bass and alien lasers while "Cattivo" goes for a deeper bass riff that doesn't sound a million miles away from early Clipz. Definitely no bad thing.
Review: Take a glance at the SoundCloud page for UK producer and DJ, Turno, and you'll see glowing testimonies from the likes of Majistrate and Nicky Blackmarket. And with good reason too, as Turno has put in the studio hours resulting in a wealth of music for Higher Stakes, Serial Killaz, Sweet Tooth Recordings and more these past few years. Dubz Audio belongs amongst this clutch too, and Turno's return to the label arrives with a brutal VIP take on his 2014 rinse down "The Iceman". Evil enough in original form, this 2016 edition officially upgrades "The Iceman" to screwface factor 10. Complementing this, Turno teams up with Dreps for the razor sharp "Team Drums," which has instant classic written all over it.
Review: Jump up heads, it's time to get nasty. A year after the release of this notorious dancefloor killer, Filthy Habits have taken to the lab once again to remix "No Cure" for the late summer crowds and boy are we grateful. Packed to burst with dirty bass and hard-spanking snares, there's not a pair of dunks in sight that could resist skanking to this. "Boiling Point" on the other hand raises up the salute to Turno's production skills with a faithful remix from Filthy Habits. Still dark, still destructive but with a sleeker, meaner level of devastating realness, this roller is going places. The favourite by far.
Review: Turno is without a doubt one of the big success stories from the previous couple of years and he's one of a handful of previously marginal jump-up producers to have rode the wave, a wave of their own talent as well as that of scene tastes, right into the middle of the scene. Gemini is his first full-length release on Shogun sister label Elevate and it's a banger that crosses several different sub-genre divides. 'No Chance' featuring Inja is our favourite, though, a proper foghorn number which perfectly suits Inja's famously menacing, skipping tones. It bends, swerves and bashes its way all the way through in fabulous fashion. Lovely.
