Cre8 Dnb Music

Cre8 Dnb Music

With a reputation as one of the most prolific jump up labels around, and curated by DJ and selector extraordinaire Blackley, Cre8 Dnb Music launched in 2015, quickly staking their claim as one of the upcoming labels to watch, and rightly so. Siphoning off some of his infectious, high-octane energy into Cre8, the label’s reputation for hard-hitting, consistent drum & bass output has continued to grow since the release of their very first project, ‘We Cre8 Vol 1’, which featured the close-knit team of the highly popular Cre8 Dnb Radio - Rowney, Blackley, Certified Sickness, Fineprint and Jaxx. Since then, a plethora of varied artists have been on the books, reading as a who’s who of widespread DnB talent: Bou, Simula, Ironlung, Hizzleguy, Dutta, Profile, Skore, L3MMY DUBZ and many more, and that’s without mentioning their pioneering Dub Club subscription service. Don’t expect the Cre8 train to stop anytime soon.

Grotty Funk / Overdrive
Grotty Funk - (4:33) 175 BPM
Overdrive - (4:15) 175 BPM Hot
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.

Dumbot / Fields Of Blood
Dumbot - (4:08) 175 BPM Hot
Fields Of Blood - (4:31) 175 BPM
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.

Dead Out - (3:42) 175 BPM
Steely & Pengo - "Neon" - (4:23) 175 BPM Hot
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".

Let Me Down - (3:39) 175 BPM Hot
Clear To Engage - (3:44) 175 BPM
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.

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: As if 'Psycho' with Starz & Deeza earlier this year wasn't quite heavy enough, Certified returns to Cre8 with one of his most epic jams to date - 'Exterminate'. Taking elements of the classic TV show Dr Who and flipping them into a riot jam, this will take you to another dimension. Elsewhere Busta calls out the rhyme thieves over a stinking bassline on 'Stolen Flow', 'Your Turn' goes full-on wobbles as Certified tags in with Bilson and 'Darleen' takes us on more of a trippier leftfield sojourn. Perfect for exterminating any bad vibes in your life.

Can You Feel It - (3:40) 175 BPM
Review: Jtr is absolutely on it with this release. Coming at you with some of the most twisted jump-up you'll have ever heard, 'Life Forms' is the standout tune, a wobbly collection of sines and subs which taken together form an arrangement that's equal parts heavy and equal parts funky, a tried and tested combination that always goes down well in the club. The other three land with even more aplomb on the jump-up side of the spectrum and the title tune is representative of that sound, with big ol' bass stabs punctuating a tight collection of hits and knocks. Top release.

Do It - (3:44) 175 BPM
Powerful Impulse - (4:24) 175 BPM Hot
Played by: Syndicat
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. Fanatics' Wizards 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 and we especially like track one, the title track, for its almost neurofunk approach to clunky stabs and rippling basses. Awesome.

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.

'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: Cre8 Dnb Music are barrelling through 2019 with this single from Phadix and, listening to it, you can tell why they've decided to put this tune at the forefront of their release schedule. Those stereotypical jump-up drums remind you what territory you're in before the tune even gets going but jump-up's tendency to sometimes err on the unappealing isn't present here at all. The drop propels you into a spacious arrangement characterised by a funky, uplifting and yet gnarly array of bass synths which are dying to be mixed out on a system. The flipside is just as good - sick stuff.

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: Cre8 DnB Music are back on the fast-moving train that is jump-up and once more, they've proven adept at bringing to the fore some forward-thinking sounds in that regard. Klay isn't a name we know but 'Human Music' - the title track to this release - is certainly a promising sign. Glitchy and with a satisfying sense of lagged out travel, this tune certainly bites hard but it does so in a fresh, unique manner. 'Ghaungar' is step-up in sophistication and nastiness, a snappy, stepping drum line pushing up into its metallic bottom line, this one is a proper creeper. 'Aka Manah' finishes things up in screeching fashion - top stuff.

Review: Magenta lands on Cre8 DnB Music with Break, a four-tracker with no other intention aside from punching you in the face, nicking your wallet and laughing at you as it steps over your body. That's clear from the off - the title track smacking of Souped Up rollers as it powers past in a flurry of pitched up synth notes. 'DJ' starts off deliciously funky, a gorgeous piano that riff tricks you into thinking it'll be a smooth ride, a deception which becomes clear on the riotous, squelching drop. 'Addiction' steps up the game in terms of drums, it's heavy hitting snare perfectly accompanying a track that very quickly, gets ridiculously fat. 'New Day' isn't exactly similar to LSB's tune of the same name, it's significantly more pissed off and certainly drunker, something evident in its screeching, siren-esque synth lines and diving sub bass. Tune!

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.

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.

Solix & Basstripper - "Money" - (3:50) 175 BPM Hot
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.

Wicked - (3:44) 175 BPM
Review: JTR comes returns to Cre8 with another ripper. A hefty one track scud as part of the label's ever-developing singles series, "Wicked" lives up to its name with a woozy, raffish distorted swampy feel that rolls up and down the spectrum while the drums roll relentlessly. Perfect for those surprise switches and double drop scenarios. Wicked and bad.

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.

Eradicate - (4:34) 175 BPM
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?

Danger & Mavu - "Touch Of Generations" (VIP) - (4:34) 175 BPM Hot
Review: Ever feel like life is a simulation? Like this is all a fabrication for some great dark puppet master and we don't actually exist in this world? Danger does, and he's making a break from the matrix to see what's out there in the real world. "Sleep Paralysis" breaks our cranial plug from the machine its spiked out riff while "This One" revitalises our weak machine-sustained bodies with its low rumbling rolling bass turbulence and "Simulation" confronts us with the raw horror of the actual reality we've been trapped in thanks to a high voltage lighting bass hook. Klay joins the fray for the penultimate blast of wokeness as "In Put" stabs and slams with a vicious staccato before a VIP of Danger's past glory "Touch Of Generations" sends us back to our portal, safe and snug in our cosy simulations. Home sweet simulated home.

Review: Who 8 all the pies? Judging by the naked obesity of the cuts on the latest instalment of Cre8's latest V/A EP, these guys did. Highlights from this unashamed gully feast include the harmonic chimes and razz bassline of bossman Blackley & Meladee's "WDYP", the squelching Krustian bassline weirdness of Dutta & Jammin's "Say My Name" and Sublimit's darkstepping ricochet bass rips on "Snake Pit". With plenty more to chow down on, this Cre8ive banquet is gonna feed you for months on end. See you l8a m8.

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.

The Ticket - (4:27) 175 BPM
Review: Jaxx has been kicking us up the jacksy (Jaxxy?) with his ruffled Bristol-inspired bass for a hot minute now. Every track getting straight to the point with firm focus on the left-sided groove and genuinely memorable basslines, he's not released a duff track to date. This is no exception: "Remember" shakes and slaps with a depth plunge elastic bassline and mild skanks in all the right places while "The Thicket" is an absolute barnstormer with a venomous bassline that will leave you wanting a shower moments after you've dropped it. Barmy.

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: Murderation station: Jack The Ripper steps over to the perennially on-it Cre8 with four solid slap-downs. "Feel The Beat" stretches and flexes with a nice amount of elasticity in the groove and some crafty use of a heritage rave sample while "Minimal Dance" provides a stark playground for some of the most disarming bass textures JTR has ever conjured. Deeper into the EP we hurtle for the grunting funk of "Glory" and the creepy twisted chimes and toxic bass of "What's Up". Deadly.

Raise Your Lighter - (4:56) 175 BPM
Review: Got a lighter? Good. Not got a lighter? Time to take up smoking. Your doctor will hate you for it, your loved ones will tell you about your smelly breath, you might die younger but boy will Blackley and renowned MC duo Starz & Deeza will love you forever. And being as they've given us one of the most euphoric, feel-good intros Cre8 have released so far, taking up smoking is the least we can do. Positive vibes through-and-through, you'll be thrusting your lighter around the place for months on end to this. Massive.

Furniss - "Showdown" - (4:30) 175 BPM
Review: They might be averaging 2.5 releases per year but man are Blackley's Cre8 killing it. Every single release has been rammer-jammer with talent, ideas, fusions and energy. The "We Cre8" series epitomises this spirit and attitude the best as we're bombarded with heaviness from the off... "Medusa" teases with a starlit arpeggio on the intro before snapping your neck with a waspy bass drop, "War Mongers" is a much fuzzier, no-nonsense skin-scorcher, "Touch Of Generations" fires more lasers than an unruly robot while Jaxx provides balance with the springier funk of "Leaf Of Life". Rounding off with stern spacious bass tones of "Hemp Seed" and the timeless roller "Showdown", this is the best "We Cre8" edition yet.
