Review: Kick starting 204 in sizzling fashion, it's awesome to see Wraz. back in action for another fiery four track display, landing on the ever ready Artikal Music imprint for some heavyweight dubstep heat. Opening up with the gnarly sub growls and spacious backdrop design of 'Dreadbox', we know we are in for one hell of a ride, being following the mind-melting reese synths and choppy drum textures of 'Fiend', a marvellous display of dubwise fusion. Next, Mat The Alien joins the party for 'After Hours', a sneakier slink through mystifying melodies and high energy hi-hat combos, with 'Flex' then closing us off with vibrant breaks and moody sub booms. Awesome stuff.

Review: To celebrate their consistently growing empire, the team over at Artikal Music UK have unveiled this awesome new collection for their loyal fans to enjoy, sourcing 14 original steppers rollers from some of the best in the dubstep game. We are immediately gifted a wickedly wide range of steppers originals, from the warm sub work of Mystic State's 'Ever Further Dub', to the more party-driven drums of 'Tribal Alien' from Legion and the squelching sub squeezes of MYTHM's 'Dead City'. This is an LP that truly celebrates how varied and unique dubstep music can be, with our standouts including the super-clean sub work of 'Vanquisher' from head-honcho J:Kenzo, next to the sweetly syncopated drums and haunted harmonies of Cimm's 'Deep Red'. 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!

Matrix - (4:59) 141 BPM
Leak - (4:06) 142 BPM Hot
Review: There are fewer things more exciting than a brand new Artikal Music drop landing in the store, especially when we have Bisweed at it's head, delivering a soul-shaking double up of bass infused weapons, perfect for the late night ravers. For a techy introduction, we kick off with 'Matrix', a glitchy sweep through syncopated rhythms and pulsating bass pops, giving us a seriously otherworldly feel from start to finish, topped off with some fabulous metallic drum work. On the flip, we take things old school as the tribal percussion and unique soundscaping of 'Leak' gives us another tasty bite of originality, providing us with a wicked b-side, stuffed to the brim with original flavour.

Review: The Artikal team have unearthed a worldy here as Leo Cap arrives in sizzling fashion, bringing us a multi-genre fusion of dancefloor delights. We open up with 'I Feel Good', a fragrant title track, linking together the intense rhythms of UKG with a hard hitting slap of grizzly bass notation, topped with choppy vocal expression, before 'Surround Me' lets loose a scintillating display of electrifying synthesiser sweeps. From here 'So Damn Beat' ups the heat even further as a stripped back drum set plays host to one of the angriest basslines we've heard in years, with the popping percussive melodies and skippy rhythmic textures of 'Free Your Mind' then giving us a cosy landing zone, rounding off this very impressive body of work in serious style.

Review: We always get excited to see a new Artikal Music drop, with Wraz. being the latest name to join the list and kick off his 2023 with a serious thump. We jump into the madness right from the off with this one as 'Wraith' delivers an electrifying combination of otherworldly synth sounds and gritty textures, before 'Overdrive' takes the alien feel even further with a super squelchy slap of unorthodox bass design. From here, we again up the pressure levels once again as the acidic bass pumps of 'Spooked' give us a different look at Wraz.'s character, before 'Resistance' sends out an array of sonar-like bass pulses, shaking the foundations of any system they are heard on and rounding off this very impressive collection with a low ended bang. Amazing stuff!

Mystic State & Jack-Flynn Oakley - "Blinded" - (5:24) 140 BPM
Inner Sanctum - (4:13) 140 BPM
Review: The Artikal team are back in business with this latest juicy drop as they welcome the ever-ready mystic state to the table with a bulbous four track selection. We open up with the jittering melodic backdrops and delicate drum designs of 'Gallows', a fearsome title track, jam-packed with gnarly bass goodness and eerie atmospherics, of course amplified by the unmistakable vocal presence of PAV4N. From here, the dubwise side of Mystic's character rises to the top as 'Understand' delivers a chord driven dip into delayed percussion and sweeping subs, before Jack-Flynn Oakley joins the party on the sizzling bass crunches and scuttling rhythms of 'Blinded'. Finally, the subtle Asian string work and hard hitting bass notation of 'Inner Sanctum' gives us another powerful feature to round the EP off. Excellent work!

Desired State (Unkey remix) - (5:36) 140 BPM Hot
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!

Just Flexin - (3:40) 140 BPM
Review: It's been a short while since we last heard from LX ONE, with this vibrant new set of steppers originals kick-starting his 2022 in style. The Artikal team have a real knack for unleashing the more dungeon-inspired side of producers, which they certainly facilitate here as 'Kevlar' sees Biome join the party from the jump for a naughty little creation, focussing on eerie atmospheric drone presses and system-busting reesey subs, launching the EP into the stratosphere from the jump. Next, the shuffling percussive switch ups and dissonant metallic stabs of 'Shift' are let loose amidst a distant sounding stringline, again adding to the haunted feel of the EP, before 'Just Flexin' unleashes a monstrous pit of slithering LFO maneuvers, rounding off the project with a sub-heavy slap of dubstep goodness.

Review: It's always good to see label heads returning to their home turf, with this latest drop from J:Kenzo seeing him reappear on the fantastic Artikal Music for four tracks of steppers mastery. We begin with the title track 'Karthaus', an eerie roller, littered with subtle pad sweeps and a dizzying sub-line below, giving us a spooky journey to open things up. From here 'Solar Return' then delivers a devastating punch of gritty bass synthesis, topped with bell like percussive stabs and choppy drum textures, before 'Astral Traveller' the moogy sub pulses of 'Astral Traveller' send us back down a road of trippy abandon. Finally, the path settles for a stunning showcasing of soundscape ability, with 'Silentium', bracketed with 'Path Of Tranquility' cools the senses and lulls us into a sleepy trance, giving us a soft landing to round off this top notch collection.

PFD - (5:06) 147 BPM Hot
Review: We all know just how good the recent run of Artikal Music releases has been, so when we saw the link up of Gremlinz & Jesta announced, we knew we were in for a good time. It's a lively 2-tracker on display, which kicks off with the colourful and expansive percussive maneuvers of 'Left To Rot', a futuristic delving into the more dungeon-esc side of electronic music, focussing on a slower pace and more intricate rhythmic expression. On the flip, the slowed breakbeat sampling and haunted sonic padding of 'PFD' then rolls into view, again exploring a much more stripped back side of the sound, relying on inquisitive melodic pulses and an unpredictable layer of drum work throughout.

Watch Out - (3:15) 140 BPM
Review: It's been a pretty crazy run from the Artikal Music team, with their recent catalogue additions looking stronger than ever, a theme that continues with this brand new selection of sizzlers from MYTHM. We dive right into the thick of it with 'Vex' as destructive synth scrapes are deployed in an unpredictable arrangement of twisted synthetic bass and vocal slices. It's one hell of an intro, followed up in style by 'Run Up', another grizzly goblin of a riddim, sweeping together tightly processed drum licks with a raucous display of bassy goodness. Finally, 'Watch Out' gives us one last dash of gnarly sound design, wrapping up a super-demonic yet incredibly pleasing selection.

Out Of Step (Quasar remix) - (4:37) 140 BPM Hot
Review: We know for a fact that Artikal Music is always a good place to explore the best of the latest dubstep flavour, with their recent release run being pretty outstanding to say the least. This next drop sees them invite the sounds of Sabab to the forefront, who delivers a ghostly new single by the name of 'Out Of Step'. This one combines a wicked fusion of dubwise-inspired delays and lazer drones with shuffling hi hats and grizzly subs below to give us a real systematic experience. The remix addition to this one takes us down an even swampier path however as Quasar arrives to send the track into an even wonkier state, with aquatic sounding delays and pulsating sub warbles taking this one to a completely different level.

Review: Having made quite a name for himself over the past few years, Surge is back with yet another pack of dubstep-inspired delights, this time landing on the ever-ready Artikal Music imprint. We begin our journey into this selection with 'Dub Power', a percussively-driven display of bassline mastery and melodic manipulation, combining evil-harmonies to leave the hairs of the back of your neck creeping up. Next, the distant electric guitar leads and chopping drum punches of 'Reckoning' sit above powerful reesey tones before the dungeon-ready bass synths of 'Inner City' give us a superb finale. This one hits the deeper side of dubstep hard and is a wicked addition to Artikal's already impressive catalogue.

Review: As ever, the Artikal Music team return to their rampage of top quality new dubstep releases with this brand new project from Legion, giving us four sizzling creations perfect for the systems as the dances begin to reopen. First up, the title track 'We Are Many' sits as an explosive bag of bass-driven juice, alternating between amazonian sounding percussive lines and lethal bass oscillations. Next, the oldschool sounding LFO drifts and unpredictable drum switches of 'Boards Don't Hit Back' lead the way with more sumptuous system-designs, followed by the more dancefloor orientated drum skips and rhythms of 'Bewildered'. Finally, '3rd World Cop' gives a dubwise twist to the project, with syncopated chord and packed out percussive lines giving us a perfect send off.

Review: Now over the course of the last couple of years, it's safe to say that the team over at Artikal have established themselves once again as one of the most consistent dubstep labels out there. This brand new chunky two tracker from Monty and T-Man is another perfect example of that mastery on display as 'Apollo' gives us a gnarly, system-ready roller to enjoy, with T-Man's high energy vocal lines sitting perfectly atop the gritty bass designs below. This project also comes complete with a very spicy remix from Mystic State, who switches up the flavours with a potent, sublow recreation, taking the track down a much more stripped back avenue.

Review: There is no doubt that in regards to the quality of sound, dubstep is going through a real renaissance period, with the levels never being higher. Therefore, when we see the likes or Artikal Music teaming up with the super consistent AxH, we can't help but get excited at the prospect. We kick off this lively two tracker with 'Monkey Brainz', a blippy combination of stuttered bass pops and glittering melodic action, giving the whole piece a real industrial feel. On the flip, the energy levels go up a tad as 'Boxknife Chrome' gives us some more system-ready magic, deploying super energetic drum rhythms and eerie pad-lines above an unpredictable selection of bass instrumentation. It's weird, whacky, wonderful and we can't get enough!

From start to finish this is a fabulous outing, kicking off with J:Kenzo & Sabab's monstrous, synth heavy recreation of 'Systematic', alongside the legendary Warrior Queen. Next up, Von D arrives to give Rider Shafique's super catchy vocals on 'Reality' a tasty, sub-heavy revamp before Synkro sends 'Gone' to the blender, bringing us a chilling, post-jungle rethink, dripping in metallic synthesis and eerie atmospheric pressure. Finally, Mister Shifter gets busy with his percussive-lead overhaul of 'Join 'Em' to give the EP a bang for a finale. Amazing work from all involved!

We begin with the hypnotic synth twists and amazonian atmospheric delays of 'The 14th', which unleashes a raucous display of percussive power, before 'Parasite VIP' delivers an outstanding piece of dirty dubstep production. Following this 'Smoke Em out' brings forward more sweeping pad textures to add an eerie sense of depth to the EP, before the fluttering flute lines and dubbed snare delays of 'Far North Dub' puts the final touches on one of the strongest releases from the Ternion camp we have ever seen!

We begin with 'Bloodshed', a metallic rumbler, doused in heavily reverberated vocal samples, spine shattering snare slaps and a super creepy sense of atmosphere throughout, all playing host to a central bassline that is sure to cut through systems like butter. On the flip we take in 'Tunnel', another melancholy piece of harmonic design, driven this time by a sweeping low end, some unusual hollywood sampling and some incredibly crispy drum work, perfect for inspiring a stomp in the dance. Lovely work.

Both tracks on this one deliver something pretty special, with the spacey drum designs and warbling 808 pressures of 'Scrape' landing first of all. From here we move onto the flip side with 'Concrete', another gnarly masterpiece, slapping together a sub-busting reese line with highly energetic rhythmic manoeuvres and colourful background FX to really work a system to its limit.

We kick off with the dungeon-ready sub warbles and dubby drum delays of 'System Skank', followed by the intense bassline LFO's and eerie, distant atmospheric pad structures of 'Piercing White Light'. The haunted feelings continue as we move forward with the spacey snare smacks and grizzly synthesizer designs of 'Fittest Of The Fittest', reminding us of early Dub Police work, with the EP then rounding out with 'Unity', a futuristic dubwise adventure, driven forward by extensive chord delays and an overall chilling feel.

We begin with a dive into the swirling synthesizer whirlwinds and dizzying sub pulses of 'New Dawn' which combines eerie atmospherics with dubwise drums in perfect balance. On the flip, we take in 'Downshift', a much fuller creation, jam-packed with colourful arpeggiator tones and a constantly shifting bass-heavy soundscape, certain to dazzle dances up and down the country!

We begin with the warbling bass tones and stunning drum processing of 'Reckless' which invites Busted Fingerz into the party. On the flip, we see Quasar get involved with some additional production work on system-ready sub slaps and aquatic textures of 'Data Dungeon'. Both tracks pack some serious umph on this one!

Obstacles - (5:03) 140 BPM
Goat - (5:25) 140 BPM Hot
Whatevs - (4:53) 140 BPM
Review: Within the dubstep scene, it's quite hard to not view Von D as anything other than a legend, boasting an incredible back catalogue of classics. He here lands on the fantastic Artikal Music imprint for three tracks of pulsating power, kicking off with the distorted kick shells and metallic percussive presses of the title track 'Obstacles'. Following this, we dive into the incredibly gnarly drum switch ups and sizzling sub textures of 'Goat', before finishing up our voyage on 'Whatevs', a twisted combination of distorted 808 slaps and writhing reesey tones. Awesome work!

Tomahawk EP
Tomahawk (original mix) - (6:30) 140 BPM
Mystic State & J:Kenzo - "Competition" (original mix) - (6:00) 140 BPM Hot
Mystic State & JFO - "Cuatro" (original mix) - (5:42) 140 BPM
Hemisphere (VIP mix) - (5:03) 57 BPM
Review: For this mighty selection, we see Mystic State land on the incredibly impressive Artikal Music imprint for another absolute shellout, this time consisting of two tasty solo pieces and two corking collaborations. The title track 'Tomahawk' makes the most of a twisted, eastern-sounding string line, pressed between moogy bass plucks and crispy percussive elements to match. Next up, the VIP mix of Hemisphere is unleashed, jam packed with neurotic bass twists and sharp drum patterns. We then move into the remixes, as the legendary J:Kenzo joins the party for the sub-heavy expressions of 'Competition', before JFO's additional input on 'Cuatro' wraps the EP up with some serious sauce.

Review: 2019 was without a doubt an excellent year for the Artikal Music imprint, constantly tabling exciting new projects, which always seemed to hit with a serious bang. This time around they kick off the year with the ghostly sounds of LSN, who gets us underway with the haunted vocal lifts and broken drum textures of 'A.I'. Next, serious drum work comes into play as the percussive brilliance of 'Spirit Dub' is unveiled alongside the sharp sub slaps and vocal lines of 'Machine', before the 8bit melodic structures and shifting rhythms of 'Breakin' round us off in style.

Review: Now many have guessed that this one has been in the works for a while, but that makes us no less excited to unveil this tasty new album projct from J:Kenzo, who returns to his home imprint of Artikal Music for 'Taygeta Code'. From start to finish, the album is a true exploration into electronic music, primarily of course focussed around 140BPM. It's got bass pressure on 'Desired State', it's got acidic originality on 'Hoodwinked', it's even got a weighty guest vocal from the legendary Flowdan who returns on Kenzo's Darkside VIP mix of 'Like A Hawk'. This is an excellent showcasing of J:Kenzo's ability within a crowded dubstep scene.

Review: As ever with the now legendary Artikal Music imprint, we are gifted a fantastic four track selection, courtesy of the dubwise divisings of Sabab. We kick off with the title track 'Guidance', which perfectly combines classic rootsy vocals with dungeon-ready drum smacks and earthy subs for a real heavy hitter. The bass tones continue to play vital roles as the shimmering low-end of 'Youthman Dub' and more explosive synthesizer rays of 'Harmonic Dissonance' come next. Finally, all hell is let loose on the tearout bass instrumentation of 'Dutty Babylon' which sees the project span the full breadth of the dubstep banner.

Review: As ever with Artikal Music releases, we are in for an absolute treat on this one as they invite in the forward thinking sounds of Saule for three tracks of steppers bliss. We kick off this one with the title track 'Zeroes', a high pitched warbler, reminiscent of early Clue Kid heaters, followed up by the super deep sub tones and war like drum slaps of 'Baro', already giving the EP some seriously cool contrasting points. We then move into the eerie overtones and unpredictable drum punches of 'Pistola' which boasts yet more weighty sub movements, rounding up a tight body of work.

Review: This is a release we were dying to get our teeth stuck into as the legendary Artikal Music imprint welcomes home J:Kenzo for a fantastic new single, alongside the man himself: Flowdan. The pair join forces for a wicked new creation which takes the name of 'Like A Hawk'. You can tell that this is a track that has been created to send the raves into a frenzy, as J provides a stunning steppers backdrop, over which we hear the legendary vocal presence of Flowdan let loose, with classic, gritty lyricism and aggy flow patterns. The release also comes complete with a J:Kenzo 'Darkside' VIP, which sends the track even further into a new dimension.

Review: Now if there was one label we could say really fuses the void between system culture, dubstep and dub music, it would have to be Artikal Music, who here arrive on the scene again with absolute peach of a release from Quasar. We kick off with a ride through the dubwise snare delays and pulsating subs of the title track 'Soundsystem Addict', followed by the alien drum switches of 'Oops', a tasty collaboration with Haze0. Next, 'Post Echo Dub' arrives with a bag of potent sub pressure and onedrop rhythms, finishing up with the marching drum lines of 'Dub Speech'.

Review: It's been a fantastic 2019 for dubstep, as we have seen the newer breed of artists become seriously established and flourish. We see one of those flourishing artists here, as Cimm steps out on Artikal music with three absolute heaters, kicking off with the long awaited percussive switches and glittering plucks of 'Godsmack'. This is then followed by this bubblin synths and lethal reesey extensions of 'Stonebridge', which leads into the more unusual rhythmic persuasions and expansive LFO movements of 'Wolf Council', rounding off this project nicely.

Review: The dubstep resurgence we have seen taking place of the last couple of months has been nothing short of mesmerising, with so many label projects releasing top quality content weekly. Artikal is one of the front runners without a shadow of a doubt and this new Mystic State project proves exactly why. We begin with the hypnotic reversed melodies of the title track 'Mahdi', backed up with potent sub structures below, before diving further into the deep with the subtle reese growls of 'Nines'. We finish up with a look at the amazonian percussive rolls and succulent bass tones of 'Hemisphere', wrapping up one tasty meal indeed.

Review: The run that the team behind the Artikal Music imprint are on is pretty phenomenal to say the least, with an almost uncomparable catalogue for 2018 already under their belts. However, they still have a gift to give as they unveil this corker of a project from LSN. The title track 'Systematic' is a crunchy ball of bass heaven, topped off by the unmatchable vocal presence of the one and only Warrior Queen. Following this, Gone sends us down an avenue of electronic grit, with 'Join Em' being a stick of dynamite in the dungeon. Rider Shafique then joins the party with his memorable vocal appearance on the dubwise expressions of 'Reality', bringing this project to a very smooth close.

Review: There are many dubstep labels who have had a very productive 2018. One of these without a doubt is Artikal Music, who have excelled in their release schedule, dropping banger after banger. This latest drop from Ternion Sound makes no exception as we kick off with the mammoth title track 'Parasite 6', which stomps forward with a bag of energy, drawn from it's super powerful synth design. We get swampy next on 'Loonz', which combines dubwise delays with punchy production, before hitting the unpredictable percussive grooves of 'The Chamber'. Finally, we finish up the selection with the glitch-driven stylings of 'Nicky P', filled to the brim with electronic energy and delightful groove pockets.

Scholarship - (4:23) 140 BPM

Review: Argo nails the sounds of the deep like few can with this EP. Daredevil harks back to Cockney Flute, haunting woodwind that blends with sonic smoothness to create disturbing, eerie soundscapes. Keje is next and it's more of a 2-step vibe, relaxing melodies juxtapose with penetrating lows to create melancholia that makes you want to move, an almost nostalgic track that has a cinematic edge. Dimez takes a more downtempo turn, a floaty piano sample nurtures distinctly old-school vibe, rusty drums and broken atmospherics nicely diversifying the EP. The final track, Scholarship, is a subtle creeper with a wallowing bass, grounding the tune in a thought-provoking swirl of pads.

Played by: Taiko
Review: The Artikal Music imprint has been providing us with heavyweight belters for quite some time now, so when we saw they were teaming up with Akcept for a two tracks vibe out we couldn't be happier. The title track 'Might Of The Trinity' is a subtly spooky roller, packed to the rafters with mind boggling sub work and unpredictable snare delays, topped with eerie ride cymbals and marching drum rhythms. On the flip, 'Night Crawler' is a more mellowed out exploration of space and texture, with dubbed chord structures shimmering left to right above smooth drum movements and perfectly crafted bass tones.
