Review: From the V to the I to the P; three little letters mean such big things for any card carrying junglist. Especially those who follow the good work of OnlyDrums who are revisiting key cuts from their discography and reboosting them with all-essential VIP energy 10AD's album title track from 2022 brings even more string-surged drama with 'High Roller', Vital's 'Fire' hits with even more heat while Decrypt & Inforce's 'Good Time' brings so many good times there's a danger Chic might come and kick your door down! Elsewhere Jhitzu's bullet-busting 'Revive' has an extra twist in the bassline while CXM's 'Voicemail' from 2022 gets an added layer of drama to the mix. Give OnlyDrums a call today!

Review: Vital returns to the scene of the OnlyDrums crime for the first time since the label's launch release in January '22 and there's a lot to celebrate here. Flavours for everyone; 'Miracles' goes all-in with the stinkiest basslines the label has ever released, 'Wind Up' is a big one for those cheeky switch ups and springy funk blasts, while 'Bullet To The Head' is a trippy, leftfield take on minimal steppery and 'Hopeless' swaggers with kicks so wide you'll think your ears have expanded and there's something wrong your intestines. We believe in 'Miracles'.

Review: Grubs up gang! Vital returns with this delicious four-courser on Lickwood & Gunshot. 'Moody Foody' commences the banquet with its saucy bassline swing and high fibre breakbeats. More dishes follow... 'Timebomb' is pure ruffage with its root veg bassline smashing and bashing to the point of boiling while 'Outlined' cleanses the palette with its citrus guitars and acid puddles of bass. 'The Get Back' plays the role of the consummate dessert; sweet, nostalgic and baked to perfect. Bon appetite.

Review: Vital makes some of the nastiest beats around and he's back now on Audio Addict with a release that's decidedly dark, featuring lots of monochromatic basslines and pumping, remorseless vibes. 'Steppin' is one of our favourites just for its precise, stepping percussive line that comprises lots of little sounds all interwoven together, and features a sample from Flowdan's 'Welcome to London'. 'Move' is simpler but bigger, with a rambunctious bassline that ploughs through the range with ease. Nice one.

Review: If you couldn't tell from the previous two editions on Liondub International, perhaps 'Criminal Minds Volume 3' will finally make you realise that Vital is above the law. With beats as brazen as these, he's got more diplomatic immunity than everyone ever involved in the Lethal Weapon franchise put together, and still he continues; the ringtone neck-wringing of 'Compulsion To Kill', the swaggering grunts and classic sample of 'Positive Vibes', the tension and paranoia of 'Good To Me' and ruffneck drama of 'Unorthadox' are all so badass they instantly come with a get out of jail free card. Naughty naughty.

Review: Vital is a drum and bass producer/DJ from Bournemouth, on the south coast of the UK. He has had releases on Subliminal Recordings, Samurai Bass Audio, Bulletproof Recs and Twisted Beatz. The Recognition EP features the wonky bassline action of "London", while "Culture" similarly infuses the street sounds of grime to impressive effect. Stepper "Recognition" has a somewhat dark jump-up vibe reminiscent of the True Playaz sound and "Disconnected" channels that classic techstep/neurofunk style of all on this roller from the darkside.

Review: Sub-liminal take a moment to look back over almost six years of hard graft at the future talent coal face. Having been responsible for so many bangers from so many now household names, it's a mean feat boiling it down to this mere 50 heavyweight highlights. All the label's key names are on board; Guzi, Dreadnaught, Nick The Lot, Too Greezy, Kumo, Version, Vital, Pyro, Motiv and many more dust off their past heavers, hurters and head-slappers to reflect on everything Sub-liminal has stood for and encouraged so far. From the deeper, more subtle bubblers (Sam Harris - 'Coffee Machine') to the most outrageous funk-ups (Warhead - 'Cranked') this EP has everything. When the Riddim hits you, you can't say no...

Review: Vital by name, Vital by nature... "Criminal Minds" sees the young UK producer return to the NYC imprint with the start of an exciting new series. Delving deep into a fat sack of gully, each of these cuts rep Vital at his darkest and most uncompromising. "Criminal Minds" takes the lead with a classic vocal sample and a Serum-style naggy bass riff, "Acid Rocker" goes full-on foghorn fire with its big farty turbine bass roars, "Patterns" adds a little late 90s tech danger in the synths before dropping into an absolute sewer bassline while "Recognise" closes the EP with a little trad jump-up craftmanship. Riffy, addictive and laced with just a touch of soul on the vocal. Killer material; being a criminal has never been so much fun.

Review: Everyone likes a good compilation, right? What's better than having as big a range of artists as possible in one condensed place? It's essentially an album with the ease of listening of a single, so we're all for it. Subliminal have come out with the 2020 edition in their Riddim Return series and it's packed full of bangers, across a range of styles, and it's one of those albums which doesn't try to be cool or sophisticated by chucking in a few fillers for the sake of diversity - it's just hard stuff here. It works great, with Sam Harris' tendency for muscular minimosity coming on loud and clear on Boom Ting, a wickedly devilish and driving roller.

Review: Pick N Mix: A place where full fat variety comes as standard and you're guaranteed to leave with a blazing sugar high and the stickiest fingers imaginable. Since launching last year they've been responsible for a whole barrage of on-point fire jams from the most exciting names in the new-gen D&B movement and for their 10th release they've levelled up the selection in a major way. 20 fresh tracks from 20 killer new talents, the vibes here are so palpable you could chew them. Highlights include the techno-like insistency and of Alex SLK's "Gorillaz", savage tear-out in the form of Vital's "The Game", Zoro's Dread-bass warp wonder session "Buss It", Magenta's MC-fronted bash-about "Purpose", the list goes on and on. Sweet!

Review: Iron Fist is an appropriate name for the label behind this collection of VIPs and, listening through them, you can hear why. This release is a solid envelope of four tunes which demonstrate a serious understanding of jump-up's nastier end, the type of jump-up which some hate but which inspires a passionate love for the genre in others. Jaydan's VIP of Say Nothing is the best example of this, its pointed, jagged-edged basslines are cutting and penetrating at the same time, snappy drums lie underneath and the whole tune is packaged with effortless finesse. Check out the others for some of the hardest-hitting D&B around.
