Review: Barry Ashworth and his band of merrymakers return with their ninth studio album. Shooting from the hip with swaggering ill behaviour, with a strong presence from fellow breaks OGs Freestylers and renowned and decorated singers Natty Campbell, Cheshire Cat, Top Cat (plus many other collaborators) their big party sounds remains consistent with everything they've delivered over the last 25 years... Intoxicated, high energy and refusal to sit still. Highlights include the big D&B swing of 'Soundboy Killa' (which tips its hat heavily at their original Cyclone sound) the easy-vibe reggae buzz of 'If You Ever Get A Draw', the heated jungle flavours of 'Spitfire' and the super toasty spirit of 'Nah Give It Up'. These are just the tip of the bullet... Dub Pistols remain fully loaded.

Review: Long-standing collaborators Binga and Shafique continue to go pound for pound on this bulbous nine-track EP. Eight originals and one stone cold Perez remix, this one's a danger session as a vibrant, dancehall thrust sizzles throughout. Highlights include the dreamy chorus on "Check Di New", the Carpenter style motifs on "Pot Ah Bubble", the squid bass and textured twist on Rider's smoky vox on "Rootsman Tonic" and the incredible surge of emotion on "Chinchilla" thanks to its beautiful rising chords on the finale. And that's before we even get to Alix's deep space twister take on "Highly Blessed". Nothing short of essential.

Review: The Liondub International team seem to have a lit the touch paper this year, with their recent run of futuristic dubwise delights being one of the most enjoyable collections across the world of new school reggae. This time around, they welcome the explosive vocal ability of Blackout JA inside for 'Take Time', a dancefloor-ready march, doused in sizzling sub power and new school drum processing. This is a tune that is going to cause a fair few dances to turn up, with the full release also including a powerful dub mix, diving further into the hard hitting bassline action, catchy chord progressions and silky overall processing which sets the Liondub production parameters a level higher than their nearby competition. Fuego!

Review: For us, the Glasgow based sound system champions known as Mungo's Hi Fi receive nowhere near enough credit for their constant stoking of the UK's dub and reggae fire. They here team up with both Eva Lazarus and the legendary Max Romeo on their home imprint of Scotch Bonnet for a wicked future dub-style creeper. As a recording 'Babylon Raid' is the perfect fusion of classic roots audio and modern experimental reggae flavours, dipping between a smokey introduction and a more digitized breakdown, perfect for lighting up the dance!
