2tuf4u

Staking its claim as an essential, thriving hub for both new and established talent, 2TUF4U has fully cemented its acclaimed standing since its inception in 2002. Created by chart-topping scene pioneer Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown, the celebrated UK imprint has always stayed true to its roots as a launching pad for the very best in eclectic underground UKG, 2-step, R&B, funky house and syncopated, broken beat gems. With the award-nominated Brown stepping away from DJing to pursue his spiritual path as a Minister, 2TUF4U continues to move with the times, supplying a fresh, modern take on the aforementioned genres whilst also dropping seminal, nostalgia-etched trips into the past from a phenomenal roster and back catalogue that includes the likes of El-Tuff (El-B & Brown), MJ Cole, Kele Le Roc, Madd Tuff Project, DJ Q, Gary Esson, CJ Reign, Krissi B, Soulecta and many more. Regular support has flown in from heavyweights DJ EZ and Todd Edwards, and a regular highlight - Groove Skool, a compilation made up of releases from budding producers enrolled at Brown’s production school - provides a new source of inspiration for artists all around the globe.

(Gotta Be) Free
(Gotta Be) Free (Amy Stevens remix) - (3:01) 124 BPM
Review: Whenever we see the 2TUF4U banner waving above a new garage drop we are, quite rightfully filled with excitement. This latest collection of remixes for Beat Rivals & Lifford's 'Gotta Be Free' hold so much dancefloor potential, kicking off with the sumptuous Erick Nivar remix, stripped the track back into an emotive roller, perfect for a sunset set-time. Next, Jay Steel gets his hands on the project with a much more pad heavy creation, inducing old school rave elements and groovy bass twists to add a touch of energy to any dancefloor. Finally, Amy Stevens gives the track a much more Ibiza-style spin, focussing on glittering chord progressions and murky vocal processing to give us a trifecta of top quality reworks.

Madd Tuff presents Faith Is My Fire (The Remixes)
Faith Is My Fire (feat Leanne Louise - MRT Houze remix) - (6:51) 123 BPM
Review: Now across the course of 2020, The team at 2TUF4U have been putting together some incredible garage releases, always managing to find a fabulous middle ground between the nostalgic side of UKG, alongside it's more futuristic flavours. Today we take in their brand new remix selection for Madd Tuff Project's 'Faith Is My Fire' original, featuring the magnificent vocals of Leanne Louise. Apart from numerous edits and acapella editions of the original track, we see the likes of MRT Houze, Para, Sovereign, Highrise and more all supply some scorching recreations. For us however, the two stand out remixes come from Krissi B and Fresh II Waves, with Krissi firstly blending the track into a moody, purple-sounding garage twist up, before Fresh's high tempo overhaul sends the track in a whole new sunshine-driven direction. This release also comes complete with a bonus track in 'Perfect Dub', a groovy leg-shaker and a pleasant addition to this already stacked tracklisting!

Beat Rivals - "Gotta Be (Free)" (feat Lifford - Drama's Dream House mix) - (5:13) 124 BPM
Review: We have been singing the praises of the 2TUF4U imprint for a fair few weeks now, but this latest release takes that to an entirely new level as they unveil a phenomenal 30 track selection featuring heavyweights such as Mad Tuff Project, Leanne Louise, Don Oliver, Kele Le Roc, Gary Esson, DIY and a tonne more. It's a pretty monumental project, showcasing the best of the combination between old and new UK garage in it's richest formats. Despite the tracklisting being super stacked, our highlights would have to include the dreamy landscapes of Undertone's Instant Mood Vocal mix of 'Let It Be' from Xavier, alongside Solution's Doctor dub mix of 'You', put together originally by the exceptional combo of Fully Loaded Project, Karl Brown & Todd Edwards. What a legendary compilation this really is.

Gonna Fly
Gonna Fly (Sole Masters Inc remix) - (7:07) 122 BPM
Review: The garage fever is seemingly not going anywhere as we carry on with the massive expansion of the genre into a brand new decade. One of our favourites here at Juno Download is most definitely CJ Reign, a producer whose consistency and originality really does see him rise to the top of the pile more often than not. We here see him land on 2TUF4U for a very tidy remix EP, as Sole Masters Inc, Odin Hardt & GG provide us with some sumptuous remixes of 'Gonna Fly'. Each remix is fantastic in it's own right, but the vibrant flavours and harmonic structures of Sole Masters Inc's re-think is a real standout on this one!

Another Day
Another Day (original mix) - (6:13) 124 BPM Hot
Another Day (instrumental mix) - (6:13) 124 BPM
Review: Karl 'Tuff Enuff' Brown's 2TUF4U ("too tuff for you") label bring us this old skool-sounding jam which harks back to the late 80s/early 90s glory days of New Jersey garage. A complex, analogue-sounding synth bassline and raw-edged 4/4s provide the musical backbone for the track, with the diva-style female vocal layed over the top in both full sung and cut-up forms - simultaneously, which is an interesting touch. As the track progresses, sax parps, vibes and synth-strings drift in and out of the mix to maintain dancefloor/listener interest, shining through most clearly on the accompanying Instrumental, which also brings the beats further to the fore.

Lately (The Househoundz remix) - (4:54) 124 BPM
Played by: Kastle
Review: Who doesn't love a bit of classic UK Garage? This release is perfect for any old school UKG nut as Livin Out Loud's modern classic 'Lately' receives five fantastic reworks, each as vibrant as the last. We start of with Ski's 'Super Switch Dub' which strips the production back to melodic vocal stabs, crunchy drums and smooth chord arrangements. Pure Statix follows this with his 'Klubb Grooves mix', mellowing out the arrangement thoroughly for a smooth ride. As well as this, CJ Reign and The Undertones provide soulful reworks whilst The Househoundz steer the composition down a darker alley.
