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: 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.

Flow State feat Tippa Irie
Played by: Juno Recommends Breakbeat
Review: It's possibly the only Anglo/Finnish bass label in the world, but somehow co-owners Rico Tubbs and Terry Hooligan make Bass=Win work. Here they present Flow State's nine minute 90s house-pop epic "Bad Man Tune". With wonky Gypsy Woman organ stabs and a ragga MC (Tippa Irie), the tune could be a rave-pop act on an old episode of The Word, or thinking about it, it's not that far off the theme tune either. Also appearing is Mafia Kiss who delivers a harder, dubstep-informed remix that you wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley.

Review: The Bass=Win project has been setting pace for quite a few years now, with projects spanning the full length of electronic dance music. We are here now to have a quick look at their latest 'Bass = Win Breaks' compilation, featuring 16 absolute heaters. Heavyweight bass names including Rico Tubbs, Future Wildstyle and a tonne more make solid appearances, but the obvious highlights of this compilation for us have to include Mafia Kiss's swampy rework of Flow State's 'Bad Man Tune', featuring electric vocals from Tippa Irie. Other highlights include Mij Mack's super clean remix of 'Bullets' from Rico Tubbs and of course Atomic Hooligan's break heavy rework of 'If We Try' from Reset!, also known as 'The Love Anthem'.

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: 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: Long-time partners in crime: Rico coaxes Terry back into the studio for a straight-up party jam comprising "Big Fun" style keys, MC samples, horns, synth horns and a rip-your-arm-off bass house drop. "One & Only" continues the contrast game with its crafty balance of sassy vocal UKG soul and early 2000s breakbeat garage badness. Complete with chicken-dancing 4x4 bass womp and detuned synth versions, they've got every corner covered.

Review: Rico Tubbs & Terry Hooligan are the Bass=Win Soundsystem. The story goes that while touring in the early days of seminal act Atomic Hooligan, Terry met Rico in his native Finland and they hit it off immediately. The Bass=Win Soundsystem is here and it's massive! This is their first collaboration in recorded form but this EP marks a special point in history for both the guys and their label. The EP draws heavily from garage, rave, breakbeat and bass music. There is three versions of "One and Only" whilst "Bring The Horns" does exactly that.

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: You know those really stompy 4/4 bass tunes that could have easily been produced since 2005 and always work on the dancefloor? This. Strutting speed garage drums, a paranoid bassline that rises and rises without a care for your sanity and cheeky vocal chops ensure this Finnish creation's golden bullet status. Hey, it's not called "Big Bad Tune" for no reason. Remix-wise Matt Craig softens the blow just a tad for groove's sake while Teknian & ZeroZero and 1point5 lay down rubs of "Red Sun". The former deliver a crisp D&B refix, the latter go all My Nu Leng with a heads-down warpy house twist. Badness.

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: Ralston isn't exactly a fledgling artist anymore; his music has been getting plenty of attention from the right kind of circles, and each new release sees the producer mature in both style and ideas. This new EP for Bass=Win is spear-headed by the excellent "Choose One", a garage banger with a subtle jungle sensibility, and this is followed by the equally magnificent, albeit more aggressive tones of "Pump Up". "Twilight Zone" has that inimitable UK garage swing, but it's a house track through and through, supported by a bouncier, more bass-fuelled VIP mix. BIG!

Review: As ever with Bass=Win, we are expecting a set of party starting anthems as Rico Tubbs lands for a wavy new release. The title track 'Circles' is a very tasty creation indeed, combining an unusual vocal layer with almost niche-like drum bubbles and pulsating bass textures below. This also comes complete with a vibrant MPH rethink, pitching up the vocal and allowing his jazz-ready chord structures to bring a whole different angle to the composition. Finally, 'Home Workout' links more bouncy bass tones with a more minimal drum arrangement, using the same vocal from the title track but in a completely different light.

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: 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: 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: As a label and forward thinking underground music project, we are always excited to see new music hit our shelves from the Bass=Win team. This time they have another fresh present for us courtesy of Demon Tweaks & Coolman who combined in serious style here for 'Hold On'. This one takes on the form of a neuroticly futurstic UKG roller, topped with crispy effected vocals and choppy bass leads. We are also gifted a very cool remix addition from man of the minute: Albzzy, who reworks the track into his signature stripped back bassline style, adding an additional touch of finesse.

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!
