Review: Need a little twisted futuristic D&B groovemanship? Audio Addict have you covered. Introducing new names to the label, this one is all about Entropy who links up with two friends along the way... 'Automatik' sees him pairing up with MC Skandal who spits realness over a well oiled 23rd century funk up. 'Mint & Lime' meanwhile sees the unstoppable Unorthadox resident Pinks join the party for 'Mint & Lime'. Don't be alarmed by the flavour clash in the title - this brings together the sweet and sharp in the most perfect way. You want some?
Review: Got trouble with your neighbours asking you to turn it down? Nosy geezer over the way calling the feds every time you have a party? Then buy some property on 'Funky Streets' where it's nothing but good grooves and chaos around the clock for the whole community. The soundtrack goes a little like this... Minimal murkery with big bassline bruisery. Speak to Nooch and Oram for more details and availability. Low low prices guaranteed and no nasty landlords.

Review: Following high key releases on the likes of Delta9 and Program, Xemoi and Kaiza kick down the doors of Audio Addict with four more high energy, emotional bruisers. 'Piece Of Me' sets the scene with emotional weight and a full-charge groove. It's backed by three more heavyweight twisters: 'Wolves' is a howling, growling tear-up, 'Calimba' hits hard with the haunted feels while 'Careful' closes the EP on an all-out stomp session. What an EP! Xemoi and Kaiza are crushing it right here.

Review: A timely reminder that D&B is a spiritual affair for many of us, Basshunterz return to DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict with 'Baptism'. Stripped back and oozing with the tension of thousand Godly smites, it could convert the biggest hater and have them speaking in tongues before the second drop. Right alongside runs 'Check It Out', a slightly beefier jam with a Hazardesque flavour to the drums and burbling bass. You'd be wise to do what the title tells you. Lord have mercy!

Review: AJ Mutated continues to deliver the goods, this time on Audio Addict... 'Brainfreeze' takes the lead with a cool fusion of deep bass pads and gully textures that creates a powerful sense of tension and funk. Elsewhere we have two collabos: super creeper 'Rule 34' sees him tapping in with Jeopardize while 'Dusted VIP' is a refreshed take on his Deadcell's 2019 link-up while 'Effigy' showcases AJ's sense of groove, minimalism and ability to keep it both twisted and soulful at the same time.
Review: Following some massive releases across the UKG / DNB spectrum on labels such as Steppers Club, Crucast and DnB Allstars, super-talented newcomer Burt Cope now makes his debut on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict with this epic three-tracker: 'Lies'. The title track takes the lead with sweet and sassy pitched up vocals and garage elements, 'Warriors Skank' gafs up the jam with a lovely Serum-style wob while 'Saxy Dub' goes full-on horny mode. An exciting and full-flavoured EP. Burt is going to smash the scene this year... And that's no lie!

Review: DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict look back over another diverse and exciting year with this excellent 'Reloaded' VA that cherry picks 25 of the many highs throughout 2022. All flavours, all styles, all energies, expect the full spectrum here from Ozone's alien squelching 'OG' to menacing, minimal finger clickers like Jam Thieves' 'Outbreak' to dreamier, emotional switch flippers like Klimate's 'Through My Eyes'. Riddled with pristine bangers from the likes of Vital, Prestige, Posk, Joely, Exile and many more, this is a great snapshot of a very successful year for DJ Hybrid's label.

Review: Following a major surge of one-offs on the likes of YANA this year, Volition steps over to Audio Addict with his biggest EP to date. 'Begging' is a full-throttle tear-up that sets the tone and pace for the full collection. Elsewhere 'True Vet' takes things to grizzly, moody places, 'Brighter Day' brings massive waves of emotion, 'Calm Me Down' brings the funk while 'Who Ever Knew' is all about those breezy breaks and yearning sense of soul. Last but not least 'Don't Look Back' closes the EP with a powerful funnel of bass that sucks you in and keeps you hostage for the whole tune. Wild scenes.
Review: Blinded by the lights! Rising new talent Odyssy raids the herbs cabinet for a flavoursome tear-up on Audio Addict. Linking with Manny monster Diligent Fingers for the title track, we're off to a flying start. Elsewhere 'Lockarf' brings the heat with a rumpy pumpy bassline, 'Shut Us Down' goes full on classic rave business while 'Come Back' comes with the roughness, all big swaggering drums and gurgling basslines.

Review: Russian jump don and big favourite of Noisia, Prestige gets busy on Audio Addict to remind us that nothing is normal in this strange and turbulent life... Not even a track called ' You Think You Are Normal' is normal right about now, but that doesn't stop us raving hard to its warped and wonderful bass tones. Other unnormal treats include the guttural and groany sounds of 'Baobab', the swooning, yearning vocals on 'Calling Out' and the powerful dark emotions of 'Always Alone'. None of us are normal... It's time to own that and be proud!
Review: Bubbling on the Bristol scene for sometime, and responsible for a fair share of crucial bootlegs and free downloads on his Soundcloud, Budden goes in with his debut EP. Following a cameo on Born On Road's Future Blends VA last year Audio Addict take things next level with this feisty four tracker. Highlights include the face-tearing bass and sexy R&B vocal chops on 'Beside You' and the merciless bounce and flex of 'Gunman'. Shots fired.
Review: Following appearances on Invicta, POV Audio and Classified already this year, 'Mr Cowboy' isn't Klimate's first rodeo... But it might just be his largest. Five tracks, courtesy of Audio Addict, the vibes are fine tuned, stripped-back and loaded with great samples. Every track is a highlight but the sweet honeyed vocals on the bittersweet 'Through My Eyes' really do soothe the soul while 'Malfunction' brings on the grizzle factor in a really tasteful and breathy way. Check plays the consummate finale with its insistent vocal stab and wobbly-assed bassline. Ride 'em cowfolk!
Review: Following their release on Tyke's Holographic Audio, Basshunterz now seek their prey on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict and the results speak for themselves with a brutalist range that stretches from eerie and tense to out-and-out banging. Highlights include the stripped-back and steppy title track 'Strange', the chugging harmonics and weird trippiness of 'Arcane' and the staccato hits and thumps of 'Lead Gunner'. Throw in crazy moments like the wonky funk of 'Harmful' and you've got yourself a winning package.
Review: Who let the frogs out? Ozone returns to Audio Addict with some wonderfully far-out flavours. 'OG' ribbets away hopping across the swamp with some well-fashioned croaks, boings and alien textures. For more depth and little heart-tinkling charm dig deeper for 'Let Me Be' where a dark soul is whipped up by gentle pianos, a textured vocal, a brilliantly murky, growling bassline and some cool triplets. A genuinely unique vibe here. Get on it.
Review: Brand new artist name Western Curriculum arrives on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict with four slabs of total bassline dynamite. Each one flexing a different party flavour, we slide and glide across the spectrum as this mysterious artist takes us from the ragga-flecked 'Chatter' (with Mad Sam) to the AudioPorn style bassline growls on 'Immortality' to the stark drama and tension of 'Chemical Warfare' all the way to the venomous stepper 'Trust Issues'. Nuff to chat about here.

Review: Here's a Dre we're not going to forget in a hurry... Arkala Dre follows up big cameos on the likes of Nuusic, Allstars and Pullup with his biggest EP so far on none other than DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict. Flexing his deepest tones and textures across five tracks (including collabos with DRZ and Just Eden) Arkala really gets into his emotion-laden signature with gentle elements like the lilting, dreamy arpeggios on the title track, the darker twists of 'The Place' with that velvet subby bassline and the swirling psychedelic flare of 'Faith'. This is just the tip of the iceberg - stay tuned for the next episode.
Review: Having appeared on the likes of Sub-liminal, Deep In The Jungle, Bytheproducer and Dub Damage, exciting new talent Posk makes his debut on Audio Addict with this hefty six-tracker. Highlights include the eerie minimalism and loose limbed breaks on the blurry, whirring 'Mojito', the savage drum switches and fired up funk on 'Jungle Rudeboi' and the twisted finger clicking murkery on 'Disintegrate', not to mention the excellent sample on the title track 'Headmaster'. Pay attention or face detention!
Review: Fresh from appearing on a whole host of VAs for the likes of Audio Addict, YANA and Deep In The Jungle, young talent Volition returns to DJ Hybrid's label with his first full EP for the label. His biggest EP to date it's a full spectrum assault of styles and flavours ranging from the heaving Ram-style opener 'Be There' to the dreamier sax-blasting styles of 'What You Need', the instant reloader blow-out 'Fall Again' and a heads-down, early 2010s style blaze-up 'The One'. Be there or be square.

Review: Serious collab business as Simon Splice returns to his Exile alias for two big old bruisers on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict. 'Rattle Speaker' sees him linking with the ubiquitous Manchester MC, man like Madrush for a stripped back and spiky thumper that's all gritty and growling. Deeper again we slurp down some premium uncut jungle juice as Exile links with the bossman DJ Hybrid for 'Junglist Sound'. Expect nothing but high grade bubbly subs and breezy detuned synth tones. Vibes for miles.

Review: What a way to sign out of the year! DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict look back over a killer 2021 with the help of one of the most exciting rising DJ talents to emerge in recent years - Invicta Audio's Anais. Whether it's the mix you're after, or the epic clutch of 25 tracks, one thing is certain: you're going to have a lot of fun. All styles, all sounds, all shapes, all sizes, Audio Addict lays it all down in front of us from dark heads-down sweepers (Acuna & Madrush MC - 'City Lockdown') to mystical head-benders (Xav & Zach - Bristol Sound) to dramatic, bass heavy floor fires (Hexa - 'Hot Amps'). All this and plenty more, both Anais and Audio Addict have smashed it right here.
Review: Following up great releases on Eternal Muzic and Drum Lab Audio, Bournemouth's Daniel Peters aka Vital returns this week with another typically fierce drum n bass offering on Audio Addict. He gets properly subterranean on the brooding neurofunk vibe of "Superbad" and "Read Me" respectively, before serving up some more darkside steppas aimed squarely at underground heads in the form of "50 Shot Clip" and "Outlined" - the latter nailing that classic V Recordings sound.

Review: DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict continue to celebrate 100 releases with this epic collection of fresh fire-ups and revved up reboots. Featuring all the label favourites, plus a gamut of new talent, killer moments can be found on all 18 tracks but only fools would sleep on cuts such as the warped slap-about '+++ Strength' by Scartip, Formula's jittering twist-up of DJ Hybrid's massive 'Run Tune Now', Flat T's widescreen wobbler 'Crush', DJ Hybrid & Mrs Magoo's choppy choppy slappy slappy twist on Oram & Toby Ross's 'Baddest Sound' and Realist's ice cold tear-up 'Hold It Down'. Bring on the next 100!
Review: The Audio Addict 100 Vol. 2 Sampler features some heavyweight remixes. The first is from 24 year old up-and-comer from Devon Nury Blackburn, aka Amplify, whose noisy neurofunk rendition of Nectax's "Midnight" is sure to blow the doors off, while the dream team of label chief DJ Hybrid and Edinburgh's Mrs Magoo collaborate on a rework of Oram & Toby Ross's "Baddest Sound" - a mad junglist roller in proper back to '95 flava that will surely appeal to the nostalgists.
Review: Destination Toronto: RMS returns to the scene of the crime as Audio Addict release his first EP in quite some time. As always, the sounds are stark, futuristic and beautifully crafted with highlights including the wild and unpredictable collab with Herby 'The Antichrist', the gully-assed dreamboi supergroup situation with Kumarachi and Epicentre ('Fallin'), the raw and gritty drum funk and mad switchy fills on 'Sound Kill' and the tremendous turbine revs of 'Smooth Operator' with RMS & Excess. Welcome back RMS!

Review: Boom! DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict hit the big 100 and they're celebrating in true style. Here's part one - a 22 banger collection featuring the label's brightest and gulliest talent and close friends. Highlights lurk around every heavyweight corner from the off as T>I flips Hybrid & Haribo's 'Raised In The Jungle' into a riot. Mountains of carnage follows with highlights coming from all angles - Diagnostix gets ice cold with the venomous 'Depth Charge', Para flips Erbman's 'Ride Or Die' into a lesson in tension while Kalum reminds us of the label's deeper side with the barbed euphoria of 'Enough'. All this and so much more, the Audio Addict guys have taken things to the next level.
Review: Lordy lordy! Audio Addict are hitting release 100 and they're about to celebrate with some massive dispatches. It starts right here with these two powerful remixes. First bossman DJ Hybrid and Haribo's 2018 bust-up 'Raised In The Jungle' enjoys a woozy and raw shakedown from man of the moment T>I. Then Teej gets busy on Martial Taktics' label debut earlier this year 'Katana'. Big chops for big systems, we'll give these 100 out of 10... And we know there's even amazing Audio Addict 100 vibes to come soon. Big up DJ Hybrid!

Review: GLM is George Ley-Morgan, a 20 Year old Bristol-based drum and bass producer with releases thus far on Incurzion Audio, Helix, Kojiki and Sub:stance Recordings. His latest one is the Radioactive EP which comes courtesy of DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict label, which recently celebrated the milestone of a decade in the business - respect! Featuring the seething subterranean atmospherics of the title track, the dark jump-up vibe of "Follow Me", as well as the minimal stepper "Grab The Mic" reminiscent of classic DJ Krust and closing it out with the vocal-led roller "Whole Lotta Love".

Review: Nottingham master blaster Joely follows up his awesome Lickshot & Gunwood and Liondub International EPs with his first solo EP on Audio Addict. Once again, it's a bubbly varied affair as each of the five tunes reveals a different aspect of his style. 'Trust Me' hits with a big pulsating sub that sounds better the bigger the rig you spin it on, 'Can't Sleep' takes us on more of a twisted, dreamy one while 'Moonrocks' shakes our bed with shimmering jazz echoes and a sub that grumbles and rumbles sternly in the background. 'Accepted' and 'Gravity' close the EP. The former is pure concentrated hype with is ghetto kicks and cascading tones while the latter brings us all back the sweet spot with its gentle chord progressions and percussive break-outs. Good night!
Review: Following up some impressive releases by the likes of Euphonique, Xav and Bruk, UK drum and bass label Audio Addict returns with this intense offering by Akas aka Steve Wise. It is titled Reset and features the euphoric liquid drum and bass vibe of the title track, "2 Many Times" is a more emotive number nails that Marcus Intalex vibe of old, while things take a much darker turn on "Fall Out" (a collaboration with Ovadose) and finally going out all guns blazing on the snarling techstep of "Here We Go".

Review: Audio Addict returns with yet more freshness. Building up the troops with a whole new league of next-gen talent, once again we're treated to a wallop of futurism as each artist makes themselves known. Violition goes in on an late 2000s Ram vibe with huge switches and big splashes of breaks, OZ>One pays homage to the epicentre with some really interesting minimal bashment vibes, Bennie & Guest go for the trippy glitches and well crafted automation on 'Indistinct' while Nautik gets our hearts fluttering with his soulful intro and our faces flipping on the disgusting drop. For added filth Akas brings the collection to close with a ridiculous supersize bassline. Addiction never sounded so good.
Review: The heat has yet to settle on his Chronic EP and rising talent Acuna returns with another big hitter on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict. This time linking with Manchester mic master Madrush MC, the pair weave two sterling cuts, both laced with venomous tension. 'Babylon System' is every bit as foreboding as and grizzly as the title suggests while 'City Lockdown' takes a deeper, more tense vibe as the pair flex between some buzzy midrange bass hits and a skippy beat. Loaded with two instrumentals for added mixing creativity, Audio Addict smash it once again.
Review: This release from Jamezy bucks the trend on Audio Addict's normally dancefloor-friendly output, and it does so by layering stuttering breaks underneath soulful vocal licks, a winning formula that in combination with some weighty basslines, manages to be both light and heavy at the same time. 'Never' has some serious DJ Clipz vibes, with roughshod old school drums and an almost sample-esque feel to the vocals which lends a sense of nostalgia; a real gem this one. The title track 'Skylights' is faster and more frenetic, whilst 'Hold Me' has a more typical liquid feel to its arrangement. Lovely stuff.
Review: Bunkers are so last year. Right now it's all about the cellar... Wine cellar to be precise. And tonight your sommelier will be Oram. Fresh from his cameo on Deep In The Jungle, here comes his first tasting session on Audio Addict. 'Baddest Sound' is a Chilean Merlot; spicy and heady with its rough bassline grit. The stripped-back Lynx-like 'Double A' is more like a Australian Chardonnay; fruity and full of zest. The junglised groaner 'Fine Wine' is more comparable to an Italian Rioja - heavy, jammy and like rocket fuel for the senses. Finally we have 'Hide & Seek' which is the soundtrack to you running down offy because you've run out of wine. Bottoms up!
Review: DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict continues to deliver serious sounds from across the D&B board with two killer cuts from LA-based Replicant. Best known for his work on Viper and Get Hype, here we find the US drum & bass artist playing a cool game of contrasts; 'Sun Comes Up' has festival anthem written all over it with its addictive riff and soothing chords and female vocal samples. 'It's Closer Than You Think', meanwhile, shows off Replicant's 3am side with a much grittier, nastier riff that sits nicely between tech and jump-up. Two vibes, one crucial release; don't sleep on this one.
Review: Blackbelt badness: Martial Taktics lands on Audio Addict with three knock out tunes. 'Katana' starts the fight with a little help from MC Senso Zentinel who lays down his rogue ethics over a slippery, slinky beat. It's backed up by two more heavy duty weapons: a techno-influenced prowler called 'Phase 3' and a turbine-style shock-out with the finale 'Covenant'. Three absolute barnstormers. Wax on and on and on and on...
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: Align your chakras for Akas. A new name to many but actually a total legend who's been involved in D&B for years and was responsible for signing early releases from a whole class of modern day headliners with his label Talkin Beatz. Back to the future, he's flexing some serious muscles with this debut on DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict. Two tracks, two reasons to tear-up the dance; 'Mini Roller' is a rasping, wasp-like work-out with a bassline that stings and buzzes in all the right places. 'Eurostar', meanwhile, goes into hyperdrive with a bassline that's so naughty it digs its own tunnel to France. No passports necessary!
Review: Hoax has been doing absolute bits for quite a while now and this forthcoming two-tracker for Audio Addict is a reminder that his ability to craft moody beats is right out of the top draw. 'Backstabber' exemplifies this best and moody doesn't begin to cover the grasping force of this track, a lows-heavy and ego-light rendition of pure dancefloor energy, with old-school brass textures providing the backdrop for a remorseless escape into clubland. Tickets ready please and leave your baggage on the door. The flipside is a remix from Kontakt, and he flips the bassline completely into a different beast, a remorseless set of stabs which hit with abandon. Insane.
Review: After a string of thumpers and bumpers on Pick N Mix, Bagged & Tagged and Brawlin Beatz, Refracta gets busy on Audio Addict with this epic EP. '88' sets the tone; bouncy, fun but full of weight and grit. Elsewhere 'Gravity' takes us into deep space with its sci-fi-like spaciness and zero gravity floaty feels, 'Tonight' flips between dark and light with cute keys over a roughhouse reese that grumbles from here to Glasgow. Finally we take a deep breath with the vocal-led arm-raiser 'Oxygen'. Lift up!

Review: We all know Jam Thieves bang hard. We all know they're canny with that minimal, grunting, dirty funk style. But do we know what flavour Jam these pilferers are? Has anyone ever asked them? Let's see if we can find some clues... 'Outbreak' is sharp and citrusy with a bite like a gooseberry. 'Johnny Cash' has a dark charm to it, all slinky and mysterious like a black cherry. 'State Killer' has a spicy vibe to it that creeps out of nowhere like a good chill jam while 'Crystal' tastes like machine oil and bassline napalm, cooked to perfection like mamma used to make. Still no idea on their flavour but boy do they taste good on the ear. Stickiness guaranteed.
Review: Boom! Audio Addict looks back over the vaults and draw for some of Euphonique's many big hitters on the label for this killer remix EP from some serious names and label family members. Guzi steps up first, fixing up our focus on the rave stabs on 'True' while man-of-the-moment Kumo flips 'Siren' into a gnarly dark style slap-about. Elsewhere man like Sl8r adds his unique, loose-limbed funk to 'Gangstar', Conrad Subs gets all jiggy over 'Booyaka' while Epicentre turns in with a flabby grizzler remix. Euphonique herself steps in to conclude this EP with the Amen VIP mix.
Review: Forget the rona, begone with the covid, 'Dubplate Fever' is the most serious virus you need to be aware of in 2020. Symptoms include a lifetime studio obsession, an addiction to all things jungle, developing 'breakbeat' as a second language and a fixation on making people turn their faces inside out and swearing at you. Xav suffers all these symptoms and has captured the energy and angst of the virus for us all to hear. The razor drum edits on 'Dubplate Fever', the ghostly vibes and two-step of 'Bristol Sound' (with Zach), the dubby synths and plunging bass gurgle on 'Take A Trip' and the classic melting-pot homage '1993'; each track translating the dark energy and uncurable rawness of 'Dubplate Fever', each track suggesting Xav is happy with the fact there is no known cure. Stay safe, stay sick.

Review: 10 years deep and counting; DJ Hybrid's Audio Addict are celebrating the big milestone with a whole brace of absurd updates on already slamming originals. Digging deep over the archives, the likes of Kastro, Hexa, Rantic, Dunk, Shayper, Zoro, Epicentre and many more all get their grubby mitts on some serious Audio Addict classics. Highlights include Zoro's brilliantly bubblesome old school twist on DJ Hybrid's 'Mix & Blend', Crossy's spacefunk bass grunts on his remix of Kartoon's 'Soundboy Surrender' and Epicentre's insane twists and touches on his remix of Scattyone's 'Give It To Me'. And that's just the tip of the remix iceberg. Huge shouts to Audio Addict for 10 years of ardent, loyal service!
