Cre8 Dnb Music
Played by: Juno Recommends Drum & Bass
Review: Everyone's favourite jump-up artist with a 3 in their name returns to Cre8 with two of the most alarming frequency cocktails you ever did hear. 'Grotty Funk' lives up to its name so much it might as well come with a signed pic of your old dear. Snarling, snappy, twisted and bitterly funky, it reinforces the value of the word grot for at least another 20 years. 'Overdrive' is similarly fitting in its weight, style, energy and sense of focus. Gnarly, rampant and stinking to the core, it's a perfect snapshot of where the L3mster is at right now.

Review: After a whole string of sickness on labels such as OYO and Korsakov, man like L3MMY returns to his pals at Cre8 with two heavyweight tear-ups for us all to get choppy and boppy with. 'Dumbot' is anything but dumb... Playing, springy and loaded with a quirky groove that's unlike anything else out there, this will flip the energy and vibe of any dance you have in store. 'Fields Of Blood' ups the ante even further with a powerful euphoric intro before hurtling into one of the most sci-fi themed apocalyptic drops he's ever sculpted. Get Cr8ive.

Review: Following his arrival on the label last year, Steely returns with two more peaktime weapons on Cre8 Dnb. 'Dead Out' lives up to its name: a sheet metal slammer with bitter bass textures and wallop back and forth giving you no room to breathe and plenty of energy to dance. Then we hit 'Neon', a more space-aged take on dancefloor D&B. Written with fellow rising talent Pengo, here we're hit with Ram Trilogy-like fills and more twists and turns than a hedge maze in a posh person's garden. The bright lights beckon...

Review: MC Zee is a Toronto-based lyricist who is no stranger to Cre8DnB, being the founder of the local collective and radio show Cre8DnB in the 6ix. He teams up with fellow Ontario locals Brockout, RMS and Dcision on "Raise It Up" in which this dream team delivers the very best of heavyweight Canadian bass. There is also the jump-up throwdown of "Crowd Pleaser" featuring Brockout and to round out the EP, Zee teamed up with the legendary UK bar king Funsta on the tough techstep roller "Electric Flow".

Review: Cre8 welcome newcomer Steely to the fray with two humungous bruisers: 'Let Me Down' takes reference from the Supreme Being style of late 2000s jump-up that's all chainsaws and bassline bloodshed. 'Clear To Engage' maintains the gnarly grit and tension but with more warped sound design and space between the twisted textures. Straight to the dancefloor, this is mangling music.

Master Error feat Nkid
Review: Pow! Right in the kisser! Master Error teams up with hyped new talent Nkid for four grotty stink-ups on Cre8. 'Get Ready' prepares us mentally and physically for the onslaught with its sandpaper bassline hits and widescreen kicks. It's backed up more extreme fire: 'Secrets' hits with such an alluring high frequency in the riff that you'll be confessing to all sorts by the time the breakdown kicks in, 'Machines' gets super twisted with its halftime intro and fax machine style bleeps and squeaks while 'Pretty Good' brings the EP to a close in a fine trippy fashion that's not dissimilar to the Audioporn nutcase Gino. Feed the machine!

Review: Cre8 DnB Music are regular appearances here for two main reasons. Firstly, they release a hell of a lot of music. Secondly, it almost always hits hard and in good order. So, with that in mind, CRE8LP Part 4, the fourth instalment in a Cre8 album courtesy of JTR, is here and it's been a bit of a wait since we wrote about Part 3, but it's been well worth it. 'Powerful Impulse' is without a doubt the highlight of the EP, with an infectiously funky arrangement that's grounded in a glitchy sense of progression and movement. It goes hard, but in a way that's not off-putting or over the top. That's the general impression of this EP, and special shouts out to 'Do It' as well, which is almost neurofunk in its obsession with power and dagger like synths. Top stuff.

Review: Cre8 Dnb Music are one of the most prolific jump-up labels around. We regularly feature their releases and they almost always smash it out of the park, this time being no different. Part Of Me is a fiery EP that epitomizes the type of jump-up, but also slightly different flavours as well, that, in more ways than one, has defined D&B over the past couple of years - no-nonsense, uncompromising and proudly nonchalant about what you think. It's just pure attitude, dancefloor- based music at its best and music that simply does what it wants, there's no pretentiousness or image-orientated concerns - it's just D&B. Big, big tunes.

Review: Blackley is the DJ and producer who originally became known for his trademark mixing style across 6 CDJs, a fast and furious style that saw him chop and change between subgenres, tempos and producers. That diversity has come to life on this Cre8 Dnb Music remix ep, featuring Sub Zero. Harley D, Tyke and Jaydan, four producers who certainly know how to make a jump up record. The story here is one of flexible force, from the old-school studded stabs of Sub Zero's take on 'Actions', to Tyke's garbled funk on 'I Like IT', all the tracks have flair, they move well and hit hard. Lovely.

Review: Cre8 DnB Music is another one of very prolific, very consistent jump up labels who are riding high the wave of fervour spreading through that side of the scene at the moment. For this week's instalment of their mission to madness, they've got Yoteii on board for this riotous four-tracker. 'Temple Run' leads you in with hypnotic, ancient instrumentation, before laying them out over a subby, rolling drum break, complete with some naughty stabs. 'Ducking Hell' takes things up a notch in terms of craziness, its squelching, grating bass notes hit all the spots and we're very, very into it. Top EP.

Review: Cre8 Dnb Music do one thing, and that's pump out absolutely wild cuts of destructive D&B. That's their sole mission and, not for the first time, they've roped in Magenta to help them accomplish it, a producer who is more than familiar with the peculiarities of dancefloor pressure and twisted sonics. 'Dust' is arguably the best cut on the EP, with absolutely wicked drums undergirding a Serum-esque display of dragged-out bass wizardry and gurgling force - the back-end on this track doesn't take any prisoners. The other tunes are trademark Cre8, with the punching stabs of 'Cult' and the stepping aggressiveness of 'Tatar Riddem'. An honourable shoutout also has to be made for the title track, which sees Magenta take things in a halftime direction - big stuff.

Review: L3mmy Dubz has developed a bit of a reputation over the past couple of years for his outlandish approach to making jump-up that sounds, well, bloody insane. He never holds back but this release on Cre8 DnB Music is actually somewhat more restrained, with L3mmy experimenting with a few different styles and textures. 'Komorebi' is interesting, with hypnotic stabs making up the main arrangement in a stripped back roller. Check these out to hear something slightly different.

Review: Cre8ers gonna Cre8: Blackley rallies up the new-gen troops for another batten hatching riot of riff blazing jump up stampers from allies old and new. Label regulars Ironlung and Danger kick off with "Unknown Object", a high frequency squeezer that wheezes with potent levels of toxicity. What follows is a slew of flabby bassline KO sessions. Highlights include Jack The Ripper's darkside stampage on with "Serious" (a track that certainly lives up to its name) Magenta's funky squelches on "Run It", Zeba's sprightly staccato funk on "Party People" and Yoteii's tightly coiled spring viber "Acid Roller". But the true gem of the set has to be "Freedom" by Fanatics. Horny, funky and loaded with wry humour, file under 'switch flipper'. Yes m8s.

Review: L3mmy Dubz is an artist who you've probably been seeing more and more of recently, as his own distinct brand of jump-up is starting to garner attention and turn heads. Aeon is the latest instalment of that journey, a four-tracker that hits hard and doesn't any prisoners - not even useful ones. This is exemplified best by the title track, which just goes, any time you think it's going to break down it just comes back bigger and better. 'Happy Pills' will certainly make you want to take some, a grating mash of pure energy that's matched in the subtlety of 'Hunted', which takes things down in terms of loudness but up in terms of sophistication and production value. Finishing off with 'Neurostar' and boy, what a finish, as glitching, techy stabs rattle all over the place and shove you along with them. Sick EP.

Review: Uh-oh Certified is pulling a moony and it's not a pretty sight. Sweaty bodies everywhere because there's no way you can't move to it. Out of tune singing everywhere because there's no way you're going to hear basslines like this and not want to singalong. In short, a pure riot because the energy is too good. "The Moon" subverts a cheeky horn sample out of nowhere, "Naked Drums" hits with riff infection but bubbles with cheeky rave synths, the sci fi ping pong bassline on "Biscuit" is just plain scrumptious while "Hearts Of Hearts" (with Silent Storm) closes the deal on the most twisted note of the EP; all spiralling harmonics and a strange Q&A, you might just say it's certifiably gully.

Review: Released the same week he appears on Diamond Audio's Fresh Batch album, "Euphoria" is yet another massive reason to keep Manchester monster Solix on your radar. Four tracks of wild, full strength and forward thinking D&B, we kick off with the XXXXXL sized riff theatrics of "Ain't Telling Me" before being plunged into the groan zone on "Euphoria", hurled into halftime slipperiness on "Do You Like Music" and pulped by the moolah mashing "Money". A collaboration with Basstripper, it's nothing but eastern horns, sandpaper basses and a tight pacey twostep. Get euphoric.

Review: Manchester is fizzing with new-gen bassmiths right about now, and Niterider is leading from the front. Joining him on his first Cre8 EP is fellow Manny mandem Bou who kicks off with the wild reggae fusion on "Tumble Weed", elsewhere we see the 'Rider get mean with a waspy Q&A on "Fame" then pure savage with the rattling techy jumpy hybrid "The Niterider". Finally we head south to Kettering for a grimey alien shockout with Meladee. Watch the ride.

Review: One track head shots: CRE8 cut straight to the chase with this inaugural "Singles" series launch. From the big bosser Blackley himself, "Eradicate" is a roaring riff heavy tear up that sits somewhere between Macky Gee and Mefjus thanks to its tight balance of infectiousness yet out-right technical muscle. With a deliciously trippy breakdown thrown in to boot; who needs more tunes on a release when you've got tracks as firing as this?

Review: Ripping up the rules at every opportunity, JTR returns to the ever-ready Cre8 stable and he's rolling deep with his own crew of emerging names. First up comes Manchester's Solix who co-pilots a stinking rampage jam where the bass croaks and the beat pokes. Deeper into the EP we find the prolific young producer tagging in with US, Germany and NZ collective BlackMask for theatrical string-scorcher "The Monster" and Woodz helps bring a little Charge power to the party with the laser-blazing "Get Your Own Groove". Finally, we see Southend happy slapper Alphaze getting mucky with the alien stabs on "Tribe" while "Warfare" brings us to a white knuckle finale with previous collaborator L>SP. Five d8s with Cr8 m8s, this ain't no b8.

Review: Heavy breathing intensifies: Ironlung returns to Cre8 with four outrageously stinking peaktime slammers. "Life's A Break" takes a well known rap vocal and wraps it around an abrasive bassline tear-up, "Mutton Dressed As Lamb" pays homage to the matriarch in your family with pure laser venom while "Supper Time" feeds us with high carb, full-fat twisted harmonics. Finally "Jack Sparrow" celebrates the seafaring cult of pirates with a very infectious bassline that's got "sing along" written all over it. Easily Ironlung's biggest release to date. Stay oxygenated!

Review: Easily one of the strongest new UK jump-up labels to have emerged in the last two years, Blackley's Cre8 continues to rep the spectrum with another blistering V/A collection. Highlights include the trippy dual-tone bass riff on Rowney & Propz's "Look Further", the pure gutter-tones of Blackley's "Question", the "Night Flight" style beats and tubular sub on Dorian's "Warface" and the early Die-style bass burps on Fineprint's "Drop Danger". Creativity never sounded so strong.

Review: Blackley's CRE8DNB community continues to develop at pace with their second sensory-assaulting collective EP. Dub Berzerka opens with hammer horror strings before Ironlung updates his battle bash parade with grizzly one-note bass hits on "Killer". CRE8 founder Blackley joins the fray with a swinging, mischievous funk-up "Roll It Out" and Damage Report get straight up silly with the rising detuned bass spirals of "Make U Famous". Jaxx and Sidejobz bring up the rear; the former getting creative with spoken word samples and an AK47 bassline, the latter gets all kung-fu with black belt bassline skills. Brutal.

Review: Kentish warlord Ironlung continues his aggravated assault on the D&B scene with two superlative happy slappers: "Stop Talking" is a tonked up bassline batterer that tips its cap at the work of Majistrate and Turno with its uncompromised attitude. "Cold Blooded" strips things back a little with less emphasis on the samples and full focus on a bassline so dramatic it makes the Cray Twins look like Teletubbies.

Review: Fresh from the Cre8 DnB Radio Show comes the crew's backbone - Rowney, DJ Blackley, Certified Sickness, Fineprint and Jaxx all make an appearance to bring the cult radio station to a club near you. Filled with the upfront sounds you'd expect with the creative twists you might not, each producer adds a touch of the unexpected, making this a release you don't want to miss. Highlights include the hyped jump-up of "Not This Time" to the strange, kung-fu film inspired mania of "Get To The Point". There's "Reactor Faliure"'s techy build-up to Fineprint's brutal "Chop Off your Arm" and finally the downright filthy final track "Twisted Tones". After this you'll be a Cre8 convert.
