Deception EP
Deception - (4:29) 132 BPM Hot
Losing My Mind - (4:32) 126 BPM
Like This - (4:31) 131 BPM
Review: The Vital Techniques boys have been pushing a seriously high level of garage flavour over the last couple of years, with their efforts being rewarded by this fabulous appearance on DJ EZ's Nuvolve imprint. They let fly a barrage of bassy goodness, kicking off with the warbling low end scuttles and catchy melodic drifts of 'Deception', all glued together by an abstract approach to vocal sampling. From here, the party turns up a level with 'Losing My Mind' meshing together an eerie vocal lead with warbling bass notation and progressive chord designs for a summer sizzler, before 'Like This' then providing us with a party starting feeling, fusing anthemic vocals with a warbling bassline that will keep the rave alive until the early hours!

Review: Despite already being jam-packed with releases, the Garage Shared team have pushed even further forward in 2022 with another outstanding collection, this time seeing eight of their most popular releases face the remix treatment. The cast that has been assembled is pretty special to say the least, with the likes of Prozak, Deja, Hans Glader, Oh My Daze, Tuff Culture, K9 and more all getting involved with some colourful overhauls. For us, the release holds two clear standouts however, firstly with Mkjay's superb rethink of SOULSTATE's 'Come Home' original, delivering an old school feel, doused in organ chords and smooth drum production. As well as this, Howden's bubbling redesign of 'Judging Me' from Vital Techniques is a perfect stick of rave dynamite, again showing both the breadth and width of quality across the Garage Shared roster. Excellent stuff!

Review: In the near 6 years Southpoint has been up and operational, we have seen them constantly supply us with wicked compilation sets, always looking to showcase the next big talent whilst also welcoming back their stacked roster for another outing. The collection they have pulled together for this latest drop is pretty powerful, with label regulars Cortese, Daze Prism, TVU, Drax, Earthnut, Hamdi, Jakebob, Kiddah, EM-Roe & KXVU all making solid contributions. They also welcome the likes of Demure, DV-US & Vital Techniques back inside, following on from some very exciting single drops, whilst also introducing us to one of the stars of the future in Clarcq, a Scottish UKG producer whose infectiously uplifting 'Siren' leads the way here. Excellent work once again.

Review: December is of course the time of year where every label starts to unleash their final compilation drop of the year, with the Garage Shared crew being actively hailed as one of the country's most valuable UKG platforms. This is reflected in their 2021 catalogue which is explored in great detail across this new compilation, with the likes of Gemi, Tuff Culture, Soulecta, FooR, Bar Li, Oh My Daze, Deja, Smokey Bubblin' B and many more top names all landing killer originals. The full selection features 23 of the label's most popular drops for the year, with some of our particular favourites including the niche-inspired LFO pulses and scattered drum slides of MKJAY's 'Recess', next to the big room chord progressions of WZA's 'Over Me, Over You' and the singalong flavours of Blakk Habit and Gid Swedgewick's sumptuous 'Solid Plan'. Awesome stuff as per!

Can't Trust - (5:05) 128 BPM
Review: It's always a pleasure to see the heavyweight Leeds duo of Vital Techniques return to their home imprint of Second To None Music, this time delivering a six track epic across garage bass and breakbeat themes. We kick off with the euphoric introduction of 'Positive Thinking', which through nostalgia inducing piano chords and a bubbling breakdown, launches the EP into the stratosphere right from the beginning. We continue with the wobbly garage feel on 'Can't Trust', this time utilizing catchy auto-tuned vocals for some additional texture, before 'Pull Up & Play Back' unleashes a missile-like arrangement, perfect for the late night dances. From here, our personal highlight arrives in 'First Time', another singalong garage masterclass, encompassing everything we love about the Vital Techniques sound, followed by the well-titled throwback flavours of 'Back In The Day'. Finally, 'Never Be The Same' slows the pace significantly for a much more crunchy roller, giving us the perfect wind-down for a pretty outstanding project.

Review: It's always exciting to catch up with the 24hr Garage Girls imprint to see what they have been up to, with this latest drop proving to be a certified gem from the second it landed in our new releases box. They unveil a powerful new collection for their first compilation drop of 2021, including music from heavyweight garage faces such as Champion, MPH, Tuff Culture, Vital Techniques and more, whilst also introducing some of the most exciting new faces in Hans Glader, Oppidan & Zefer. The nine-track selection is seriously impressive, with Shosh's own 'Stick It Up' original proving to be one of the initial highlights, alongside the super colourful melodic slides and scatty drum work of 'Guard The Barrier' from Breaksmiths. Incredible stuff from an incredible team.

Review: As always with the Vital Techniques duo, they have gone all out on their latest drop via their home imprint of Second To None to deliver us six tracks of futuristic garage fire. We begin our delvings with a look at 'Euphoria', a floating, chord layden bubbling bop, followed by the lethal reese manoeuvres and catchy vocal hooks of 'Obsession'. From here, we move into the more broken beat rhythms of 'Nothing Matters', followed by the cleverly placed vocal slices and choppy synth plucks of 'Walking On Air' and the sumptuous sub-bass structures of 'Temptation'. Finally, 'Show Me How' sees the Vital Techniques team smash together an impressive collection of synth sounds for a big room round off.

Gassed - (3:53) 134 BPM Hot
Way Back When - (4:26) 131 BPM
Review: We have started to notice a bit of a pattern developing with the Leeds City veterans: Vital Techniques, that pattern being that whenever they join forces with long term associate: MC Pean, bangers tend to follow. This latest drop is a perfect example of that as we take in the high energy bassline roles and catchy toasted lyrical inputs of the A:Side 'Gassed', perfect for setting the party alight'. On the flip side, the party flavours continue, this time with a more rhythmic design on 'Way Back When', drawing on a combination of nostalgic lyricism and well processed bass warbles to stitch together a piece of rave-ready dynamite.

Review: It's pretty clear that Vital Techniques have not let the lockdown period slow down their inspiring work ethic as they get busy sourcing four explosive remixes to their vibrant collaboration with MC Pean entitled 'Bun Up The Ting'. We kick off with J69's old school niche bassline rethink, adding extensive wobbly bass designs and high energy drum runs into proceedings, followed by Soulecta's nostalgic UKG flip, perfect for the sunshine. Next, Danny T & Tradesman switch it up with a crunchy grime recreation before Sublow Hz sends the acapella into the jump up blender for the final overhaul, giving this project a fantastic amount of variety from start to finish.

Review: Second To None Music regulars Vital Technique return to action with the follow-up to 2019 General Levy hook-up "Give It To Dem". This time round they've got MC Pean in tow, a mic man who last featured on their 2017 EP "Gunfingers". He's in fine form on "Bun Up The Ting", a verified UK funky wobbler laden with wobble-step style bass, siren sounds, laden percussion hits and an ear-catching steel pan style lead line. The duo's tight production, bowel-bothering bass, twisted electronic noises and cheery melodies naturally come to the fore in the accompanying "Instrumental Mix", while the bonus acapella version is perfect for those inventive producers who feel like making their own remix (or DJs who just want to get busy in the mix for that matter).

Review: Leeds based top boy selectors Vital Techniques return here to their home label 'Second To None' alongside long term collaborator: MC Pean, for four top draw creations. We kick off with an exciting collaboration project with Leeds mic legends Dialect and P Solja, who provide some heavyweight flows on 'Santander'. Following this, we dip into the garage-inspired switch ups and bouncy textures of 'Oi', before 'Militant' rolls into focus on a new school 140 flex, packed full of delicious synth energy and sharp drum smashes. We finish this one off with a look at the more experimental flavours of 'Write Him Off', which forms into an electronic hip-hop style structure, bristling with tasty distorted subs and Pean's strongest vocal of the project in our opinion.

Featuring 4 original creations the full project is full of rave-ready material and is guaranteed to get the dance moving. The title track features a high energy vocal from the ever-ready MC Pean which sits perfectly above grinding bass synths and euphoric synth chords. Pean features again alongside Leeds city grime legend: Dialect for more electric vocals on the 'Supply and Demand' VIP. Following this we hear the demonic bass sounds of 'Hold On' and moogy patterns of 'Shadow Boxing'. This is a great overall project that even comes complete with the 'Taking The Piss' instrumental track.

Review: Second To None headmasters take us back to school with three broadsword 130 bass four-steppers "Spin The Dubplate" kicks with classic strutting UKG beats but rumbles the horns and harmonic bass of grime while MC Pean spits down the law chapter and verse. "Mucky" dips much lower into the bass swamp with a classic organ-style squelch guiding us through spacious, switchy drum arrangement. "Cloud 9" flips the contrast button with a superb breakbeat garage roller laded with crisp soulful vocals. Hypho brings the damage on his "Spin The Dubplate" for bonus grades. Power up.

Review: Second To None Music have chosen the right name for their label. These guys should not be underestimated, and their output is among the best UK bass, garage and funky that we have heard recently. This statement compilation is simply putting them on a lot of people's radars, and getting the to know that absolutely nobody at their HQ is messing around when it comes to relaxing fresh bangers for the UK's dance floors. The music is wild and diverse, ranging from pure bassline to UK funky, and there are certainly plenty of noticeable artists and known faces here, including neb-dancehall specialist Deadbeat, Mikey B, B Squared, and Hypho. If you're into the British way of doing house, then this twist up will surely satisfy.

Battleground EP
Battleground - (4:22) 140 BPM
Clear Vision (feat Mikey B) - (4:33) 136 BPM Hot
Something Happening Here (feat Jordache) - (5:34) 140 BPM
Review: Leeds duo Vital Techniques clearly believe in quality not quantity. Working hard on a follow-up to February's Bad Man Ting, their Battleground EP has finally arrived. The title track starts things strong, with swaggering brass stabs, rat-tat-tat drums, delirious spinouts and oodles of bass frequencies. Next, "Clear Vision" sees the guys pair up with Mikey B for some lively UKF fire - all wobble bass, skippy beats, a sprinkling of 2-step and lots of pitched RnB vocals. "Something Happening" meanwhile is a harder beast; delivering tough and fast 4 x 4 action with relentless bass mayhem and aggro MC flows. Edgy!

Big Man Ting EP
No Way - (5:49) 136 BPM
Jenga - (5:32) 130 BPM Hot
Big Man Ting - (5:17) 136 BPM
Review: Following a well deserved festive break, Vital Techniques began 2016 with one-tracker, You. Now they getting fully back up to speed with the hard-hitting bass blitzkrieg of the Big Man Ting EP. There are three new tunes here that have already gained support from the likes of Marcus Nasty, Flava D, Hatcha and Dappa: "No Way" is fast and furious 4 x 4 with buzzsaw bass, with swishy pads, bouncy kicks and string stabs, "Jenga" is slower, deeper and more mystical and finally the title track is on full rave alert -big drops, merciless bass frequencies and speedy beats.

Review: Founded back 2010 by duo Vital techniques, Second To None, was born with the intent to promote 'the sickest...130-140bpm bass' from around the UK. They've certainly done that here, presenting 12 bleeding edge cuts for listening pleasure. Highlights include the linear, up-and-down hoover bass joint "Live My Life" by Deadbeat UK, Mikey B's heavy and eccentric 2-step gem "I Wonder" and Vital Techniques own deep bass workout, "News To Me".

Review: Having already been dubbed 'fire' by Krissi B and also bigged up by Butterz, the hype around the Wait EP is growing. Back with a bang, the release kicks off with Vital Techniques' speedy hacksaw-bass jam, "Make Me Feel", before Mikey B's "Damage" delivers some seriously aggressive wobble action. Then they pair up for the orchestrated dubby 2-step gem, "Wait".
