Review: Next up from the Foundation Audio imprint, they continue their incredibly impressive run of form as founder: Chad Dubz links up the Manchester based powerhouse known as JFO for a weighty three track collection. We begin our dive into this one with the sizzling sub textures and smooth drum designs of the title track 'Insight', which really does set the tone for the rest of the project right from the off. From here, 'Flow' warbles into play with its super tight low-end bass explosions, topped with unbelievably well processed drum clicks and piano stabs, followed by the amphibian synthesizer smacks of 'Amnesia', which brings pulsating basslines and yet more sharpened snare work to the table to round the project off in style.

Review: Chestplate and Artikal = Chestikal. If that doesn't already grab your attention then the fact that it's Distance and J:Kenzo on two massive collabos and the tunes are every bit as smoking, spacious and sick as you'd like them to be most certainly will. "The Offering" is a pure swaggering jam with rasping, distorted basslines striking through anything and everything in their wake. "Dhyana" offers sublime contrast with a much deeper, smokier blend of mystical atmospheres, roomy drums and an eerie eastern call that will have your skin up in so many goosebumps you might just grow feathers. Big up your chestikals.

Review: Duploc's run of top quality drops has been pretty unrivalled, with their catalogue boasting some of the finest dubstep originals to land over the lockdown period. This latest link up see's Hebbe take the driving seat, who for us, is one of the most widely underrated production talents out there. We kick off with the more stripped, LFO driven percussive drifts of 'Up Town Dub', a throwback of a steppers original, showcasing the more old-school side of Hebbe's sound. Next, 'RSNT' takes us down a much more systematic avenue, smashing together tremendous 808 pulses and drippy drums for a masterclass in dungeon-influenced production. Finally, J:Kenzo arrives just in time to give us a fabulous rework of 'Up Town Dub', taking it down an even more dubwise diversion, rounding off the EP nicely.

Review: Released last year, Kenzo and Collinjah laid down serious sermons on "Straight Defeat". Now time for an instrumental (in case Collinjah's words are too much to handle) and two industrial strength remixes: Caspa bangs the war drum for a greasy mechanical roller while Jubei ups the tempo ante with a tribal stepper that strips back the elements and lets Collinjah's vocals take the centre spotlight. Serious dancefloor business.

Review: New signing J Kenzo marks the 56th release for Youngsta's legendary Tempa label. Unsurprisingly, it's a typically dark and dubbed out offering from the more cerebral side of dubstep. Title track "The Roteks" kicks off with a hovering sense of uncertainty, with faint industrial shivers and a warping bassline. A quasi-scientific sounding vocal sample heralds the movement into the main tune, which features blustering kicks, snapping snares and bellowing bass. "Protected" moves from the post-apocalyptic sounds of the intro into a half-step roller with plenty of appeal for fans of Kryptic Minds, Distance and DMZ.

Review: J Kenzo makes an appearance on the lauded and legendary Tempa imprint with these two tough little tracks, which display heaps of character and genre-defining skill. "Ruffhouse" sees Kenzo team up with Rod Azlan for an intriguing journey, dominated by bleepy synth melody and low-slung bongo drum for the first minute, before dropping into a classic mid-noughties dubstep burner with hypnotic bass and weighty soundscape. "Therapy" is reminiscent of some of Pinch and the Tectonic crew's more experimental work, with a techno twinge, fidgeting beats, a Benga & Coki bleep and plenty of unique character to set it apart from the rest.

Review: Teasing us ahead of the release of his label's inaugural compilation, J Kenzo lays down a supreme slice of contemporary bass with Collinjah. The beats ooze Kenzo's demonstrative dark, restrained drama - all weighted but never too OTT - but it's Collinjah who really gives the track the edge. Clearly refining his lyrical flow and penchant for Newham General-style melody subversion, bars like these will worm their way into your head for days after the dance. Bring on the full Artikal.

Review: After a very lucrative last twelve months for the In:Flux Audio camp, we are pleased to see them start to round out the year in style as they present us with this collection from J Kong. We begin with the title track 'Nonsense', an out-there amalgamation of dubstep and breaks, pushing unpredictable drum cuts with warbling bass tones and vocal hits. Next up we have the punchy bass grinds of 'Ruthless', which follows by example, being lashed with original sound design. On remix Duty, J69 and Inner Realm get busy on their intuitive recreations of 'Nonsense', with Dr Oscillator following up in style with his weighty rethink of 'Ruthless'.

Review: We can safely say that In:flux will be leaving 2019 as one if it's standout labels, having constantly supplied a stream of forward thinking music from bass to garage to dubstep and grime. The 140 vibes continue on this one as J Kong lands to potent original designs, kicking off with the warbling sub tones of 'Dutch', which sit below twisted percussion clicks and unpredictable rhythmic structures. Following this 'Poncho' provides a spooky stepper, driven by sharp drum slaps and thick sub tones. On remix duty, 9TRANE lines up a killer rethink of 'Dutch', whilst label top dogs: Tik&Borrow unleash some lethal synthesis in their version of 'Poncho'.

Review: As always with In:flux Audio, it appears we have stumbled across a bit of a gem as J Kong lands for a spicy new EP project, alongside a couple of very well thought out remix additions. We begin with 'First', a dubsteppers delight, as we witness a swampy creation stuffed full of luscious sub-driven energy and crunchy drums, before 'Second' unleashes a much more wonky design, again going heavy on LFO manoeuvres throughout. On remix duty we have two great producers giving their thoughts on 'First', with Aztec arriving to flip the track into a systemized warbler, alongside Fork & Knife's LFO bubbler of an overhaul. Wicked work as per!

Review: Tribe 12's label boss gets all mystical as we head deeper and deeper into the dub swamp. Leading from the off, the title track is a crisp groove that harnesses the power of bongos with candour and funk. Dark, but not deadly, it's a dancer rather than a nodder. "Tundra" meanwhile is an insanely tribal homage with drums hypnotically hammering a texture onto your brain and beyond, it's strictly for those deep, late night shamanic sessions we know you love to have. "Tsavo" is more your trad dubstep with a clock-strike half step and zoned out bass trippiness. A collabo with Gantz - "Spontanious" - is darker and slower again. Oozing out like the intro to an 80s video nasty, it's drama time!

Review: London-based dubstepper J Rose got her break on Under Surveillance Recordings in March last year, slotting in nicely on a label dedicated to breaking new voices in bass science. We're now treated to a second offering from J Rose, and The Mugshot EP is quite the treat indeed! The well-judged grasp of space and atmosphere Rose demonstrated on her UVS debut is here, dare we say it's even more refined and the sub-bass seems to have accrued a new fathomous quality too. Those dubstep selectors out there that like their cuts to put the frighteners in the dance will get fully behind this new batch from J Rose.

Review: We have come to really look forward to Simply Deep releases, who again touchdown with an impressive selection here as they welcome the super experimental sounds of J-Shadow, one of the most unique producers working within the tech-grime hybrid bracket. Kicking off with the unpredictable rhythms of the title track 'Modulator', running through the spacey pad textures of 'Gene & Defect', the glistening percussion of 'Side-Step', the choppy snare slaps of 'Inflation' and haunting harmonic structures of 'Glaciers', this EP proves to be an expert showcasing in the science of sound. This one also comes complete with three top quality remix additions from the likes of 9TRANE, Jubley and Pro.Tone, making it one of the most unique packages of 2020 so far.

Review: It's always an exciting prospect to open up a J-Shadow release, so when we saw him teaming up with the ever progressing team at Bun The Grid, we knew we were in for a treat. This project kicks off with the incredibly techy post-grime flavours of the title track 'Embers', laced with pulse energy and sharp drum switch ups from start to finish. This is then chased up with the blippy atmospheric designs of 'The Awakening' and the bubbling junglist rhythms of 'No Gravity', before we move into two absolutely corking remixes. First up, Danny Scrilla gets busy with a very intelligent rethink of 'Embers', followed by Etch's stunning overhaul of 'The Awakening'.

Review: Ahead of the massive Architects Volume 1 album, featuring some of Artikal's most innovative creators, bossman Kenzo drops his first original since last year's jungle damagers on ThirtyOne. "Cross Polarity" sees an endlessly shifting bassline slipping and sliding between evolving drum patterns before diving naked into a deep pool of ageless elements that's deeper than a late night whiskey with Hawkin. A taste of things to come and a reminder of why J:Kenzo is an absolute monster at the controls.

Review: Artikal Music has always been an exciting imprint to follow, especially when the bossman comes to town. J:Kenzo therefore makes an explosive return with this EP as he invites four of the most unique producers out inside for a full remix drop, opening up with Boylan's system-busting rethink of 'Like A Hawk' with Flowdan, fusing breaksy drum arrangements and seriously bass manipulations from the jump. From here, Mani Festo jumps on board for another breaks-driven overhaul, this time turning 'Deadbull' into a writhing reesey monster, followed by the crunchy bass designs and electrifying synth action of MYTHM's 'Narky' twist up. Finally, Unkey delivers a fabulous rework of 'Desired State', a dripping dungeon dweller of an anthem, sweeping between potent sub growls and ear-prickling melodic taps. What a collection this is!

Review: As one of the most consistent dubstep imprints out there, seeing Artikal Music welcome the one and only J:Kenzo back is always going to be an exciting moment for any steppers fan. This time around however, it's remix season, as Kenzo invites ten guests inside for a fiery display of re-distributed energy. The project has some awesome names involved, from the likes of 140 royalty such as Boyland and Unkey, to abstract soundsmiths such as LSN and Coco Bryce, who both flip Kenzo's work into spacey junglist rollers. Our highlights would have to include the monstrous bass designs of MYTHM's 'Narky' rethink, next to the digitised funk of Mani Festo's 'Deadbull' overhaul. Awesome work!

Review: Hello is the serious burns unit? Yes it's Juno Records here, we've been in direct contact with J Kenzo's latest Artikal release and have lost several layers of skin. Get an ambulance right away you say? Just after we've listened to this a few more times! "Battlefield" twitches a ruddy sub that bounces around beneath big system horns and a strident energetic drum groove. "Zbantu Shake" is a much more stripped back stepper that's all wooden kicks, trippy flute flurries and ladles of thick treacle subs. Soundboy killing material.
