Review: Although named after a cop in Miami Vice, Rico Tubbs actually hails from the decidedly less sunkissed Finland. He's been rocking raving electro tunes for nearly ten years now, and he's back again with a new bass-fuelled anthem, "The Return". It's a hyper collage of 4x4, bassline, wobble, garage and '90s samples - in other words proper dancefloor ammunition. Remixes come from the Ed Banger-style TJH87, the deep and dark bassline of Kepikei and the cut up party chaos of Kraymer.

Review: Bass=Win are notorious for their half-step bombs, and we have here a fresh new various artists EP containing some of the best new names on the block. Rico Tubbs and Spenda C go for sub-level-induced, Southern hip hop tip on "ShakeDown", whilst Deep's "Anthem" is an aqueous escapade into jelly-like synths and metallic percussion dabs, all the while surrounded by the sound of the deep and dirrrty Southern crunk. "Bad Bitches" by RatTrap and Jesse Slayter is a fast-paced techno/crunk workout with a seriously twisted drop and Pigeonfox's "Burnout" gives a straight up middle finger to all the haters out there - loud, brash and absolutely tasty!

Review: Ready for a trap attack? Of course you are. Who isn't? Luckily Rico and Will are here with two fine examples of how trap has risen from its ghetto roots and developed into the laser-reaching beast it is today. "Bass Track" opens with an aggressive lick (and a very well known very sample) before building into a crescendo of rush-soaked synths. "Horn Track", meanwhile, adds even more drama to the mix thanks to the heady mix of staccato synthetic horns and, yes, another very very well known sample. Clever. Heavy. Winner.

Review: Savagery abounds on Bass=Win as Fog steps up with a quad of unashamed shock-outs. The middle finger waggling "Disrespect" kicks with treacle-trap 808s beats while screaming with a dubstep mid-range bass. "Granades" is more of the same heady nastiness but with more a scream in the riff as it rises with insanity. "Vybes" is much more stark and sleeker with more minimalism and funk than aggression. "Why I'm In The Hood" finishes the set with a swaggering synth-horn hook that's got more menace than a 20 man gang scrap.

Review: Terry Hooligan's Bass=Win imprint looks down under for inspiration as Sydney-based Damien Williams steps up for his label debut. A cool fusion of string-surged soul and street-charged trap, "Thank You For The Music" is a unique blend that's likely to create major dancefloor huggage when dropped at the right time. On remix-flex we find LAOS dusting off his best range of amens for a rub that's reminiscent of High Contrast's best material while Notixx gets lively on a more traditional dubstep jam. One sparkling original and two startlingly creative remixes. Bass=Win = Win!

Review: A lot of people write into Juno and ask how much producers get paid. We'll never tell but we can give you a ball park... Terry Hooligan has a loft just for grooves. He's got another loft for the usual gubbins one might stash in an attic, loft or roof space and he's got a second one specifically for grooves just like this insanely funky-borderline-punky electro shock out. Nagging, pumping and full of silly fills; just when you think it can't bang any harder, in whooshes a downtempo moombahton drop before the mentalism ensues. Do the eclectic spread of remixes meet up to these high standards? Why of course they do. Apparently Terry is chatting to his builder mate to install groove lofts in the house of 601, Kraymer and Aerotonic as you read this very review!

Review: The McMash Clan aren't messing around are they? Taking Rico's sweaty "Sauna Pants" and running it through their hype machine, they've generated a physical ear-twister that pumps with hardcore heroism and shakes with Baltimore badness. Timeline's take on "What You Know About Bass" is a switch flipper; cruising on a Miami-bass halfstep with added glitches and grunts, it soon swoons into a slow-motion hip-hop break. Guaranteed to get your floor strutting.

Review: Grand Ruckus are a duo that aim to 'combine Golden Era Hip Hop, Upfront electro, Dub Step and Breakbeat'. It's a tall order, but they achieve their goal with aplomb on "Too Nice"; a gruff, hip hop anthem that speeds up into electro-skip midway through, the more dubstep influenced "6 Milli" and the heavy ghetto wobble of "Descender". B-Tek remixes the title track into a killer staccato electro-dubstep monster, whilst Concrank take it in a more bleepy direction. Finally Juttla remixes "6 Mili" in a booty-dub style.

Review: Finnish Anglophile Rico Tubbs' love affair with the ravey sounds of '90s UK is still sizzling, with "Babylon Fall" incorporating lots of the best elements of British rave fom the last 20 years. The title track is a rolling 4 x 4 goliath, full of heavy bass, filtered rave keyboard stabs and pitched up vocals. Elsewhere we get hyper dubby breaks (Slick Shoota mix), retro speed garage (Jack The Hustler mix) and a totally mental wobble assault courtesy of Phatworld's mix.

Review: Little is known about emerging bass fiends Pyramid Juke right now, but with beats that bang as exceptionally as this, their anonymity isn't likely to last. Kicking it old school with the synths, but utterly new school with the beats, arrangement and addictive bassline, this rocks with confidence and sits at a very comfortable tempo too. Naturally, it being a Bass=Win release, there's a plethora of stonking remixes on offer, too. AMPR & Rico Tubbs take the tempo even lower and add a serious swagger to the beats along with a screaming bassline that will melt faces at a thousands paces. Meanwhile I Killed Kenny adds more of a tropical flavour before dropping with some drum work that could almost be old school hardcore. Reilly Steel & Jaws Da Jormungand bring the show to an almighty close with a rub that sounds like it really was made in 1992. Think A Guy Called Gerald but trippier. A very interesting package; there's no maybes about it!

Review: Terry Hooligan's fledgling Bass = Win continue their relentless multi-genre assault on the dancefloor in 2012, ushering a fine cast of talent for this heavy duty compilation Bass = Win Electro Vol 1. Perennial bass bin botherers Baobinga & ID open proceedings with a typically incendiary remix of Gella's "Twinkle", while Sir Hooligan himself makes an appearance with a great remix of Prato's "Keeps Ya Moving" which flickers between dubstep indebted electro and a classic break. Rico Tubbs mans the mid section, Lazy Rich and The Mighty Fools go toe to toe in the battle for the most outlandish remix of the Tubb man (the latter just shade it in case you were wondering). Stupid Fresh indulge in some pitch shifting madness with "Do The Dog" and Submerse ends this release with a bang on the 136bpm face screwer "Railgun".

Review: Few labels state a clearer manifesto than Bass=Win. And they seem to be on quite the mission at the moment. One of several label compilations available this month (covering both dubstep and breakbeat) we're treated to five brusque bangers, each laced with barbed bottom end charm we've come to expect. It's nice to see the return of Atomic Hooligan who let rip with a hefty 4/4 and a cool Boogie Down Productions sample. Further on we find a dash of Turbo-style techno finding its way in the mix via K-Theory's "Get It Right", but done in a filthy B=W fashion. Another highlight comes in the form of Rico Tubbs and Will Power's brick-munching power house remix of Tomb Crew's ragga-tinged "Inna Dat".

Review: The founder of Midlands bass institution Stealth summons the spirit of a million parties with this high energy romp. Stomping with a ruthless, percussive 4/4, it's all about the bassline that warps and wails so hard it turns itself inside out. Jordan's executed the vocal loop really well, too, making it a percussive feature that builds the tune to silly levels of insanity. Remix-wise Rebel Sonix flips the switch for a Miami bass glitch workout, giving it a whole new suit of slo-mo arms. Win, indeed.

Review: Bass = Win equals guaranteed funky house delight and this time it's a right showdown with a full remix EP of the "Baby" track by Orkidea, Rico Tubbs and Heavyweight, three label regulars who know all about body-rocking goodness. Jayceooh, Rare Candy, Desto and Daddy Flix all turn in the goods, ranging from housier to more half-step territories, but our favourite has to be Desto's neo-jungle reinterpretation, a cut which glides between footwork and d&b with pure ease and utter grace. Tight little bag, this one!

Review: Bass =Win get mucky in the halftime dance with a Finnish artist Ddog who's either a newcomer or a clever alter ego for longstanding B=W affiliate Rico Tubbs. Either way, both cuts bang: "Anthem" is pure sludge and wonk with big bruised bass melting over the swaggering half-tempo beats. "Burning The Way" goes for more of a breathy ravey texture where breaks flutter in from all sides and no sides at the same time. Very contemporary. Very playable.

Review: Much like his namesake, Finland's bass underdog, Rico Tubbs, proves that he packs just as much of a punch Don Johnson in Miami Vice, and then some. Here he references more American culture with Ghost Rider, the flaming skeleton biker. However, it's less retro America and more sweaty UK warehouse - fusing hands-in-air piano stabs with gurgling low basslines and skippy beats. Dr Cryptic's mix perfectly captures that gurn-fest moment when it feels like the sky is literally attacking you. Elsewhere Thijs Haal delivers the hardest mix here, whilst Ampr drops to half time for some robo dubstep fun.

Review: Bass=Win has been Terry Hooligan's baby since day one, a label on which he has released chest-pounding bass music both from himself and new and exciting talents from around the globe. This time he's scouted another debutant, Alisky, and the young 'un comes through with "Without Your Touch", a pseudo house joint sparked into life by the bubbly bassline surrounding it and the vocals emanating from its core. There are two remixes within, the first being a wobbly garage tune-up by Rico Tubbs, and the second one sees PRXZM twist the house out into storming, machine-like dubstep with plenty of fire power.

Review: Despite the name, Yorkshire's premier junglist, Future Wildstyle, looks to the past a lot for inspiration. "Ultrafunkula" is all about early-'90s hardcore breaks, ragga MCs and rave horns, but just cos its old, it don't mean it aint good! Jet setting bassline hero Rico Tubbs steps in to add some pumping peak time 4x4 vibes on his excellent rework. "Started Again" is a much more contemporary wobble bass assault, and "This Style" throws some cool turntablism into the mix.

Review: Forward-looking Sheffield duo Future Wildstyle tore up the rulebook when they recently began producing together. The results have created quite a stir and one thing they really make a point on is that the tunes have got to work off the dancefloor too. With the Hyper Vibes EP they didn't make 'straight up club bangers', providing instead three killer tunes that work everywhere. The title track features mean and moody start-stop beats and jazzy piano stabs, the DnB-influenced "Bad Man" lays on the dub pretty thick and finally "Make Them Bounce" is a rip-snorting j-tek monster. Boom!
