Review: DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle imprint is forever at the forefront, uncovering fresh new talent and bringing us the best of their skills. Take Tee9, a young Bournemouth talent who's resident at Rewind and only ever dropped free downloads until this release. Four slabs of timeless scorchio, this is straight up jungle breakbeat funk with all the trimmings. Highlights include the subby slap and tickle of 'Badlife' and the ultimate celebration of all DJs... 'Hold Tight The Selectas'. 9 thumbs up.

Review: Word on the street is that there's going to be a YouGov petition to get DJ Hybrid to change the name of Deep In The Jungle to something more honest such as Absolutely Banging In The Jungle or Rinsing Hard In The Jungle. He's going to have to with cuts like these from Lowriderz or trading standards will be on to him... Each cut is a walloping floor-flattener! Highlights include the really sleazy dark feeling with 'Soundbwoy' (featuring Enek) and the raw funk fusion and snake-like percussion of 'Hybrid Skank VIP' but the whole EP totally wallops. Big love to Lowriderz and DJ Hybrid.

Review: Fresh from Copenhagen! L.A.D.J makes his Deep In The Jungle debut with this firing four track collection which will appeal to heads of all jungle generations. Very cleverly treading the fine line, its old sample references and general mood nod to the roots while the production, energy and general switchy nature of each track make them great fun to mix in the more contemporary style. Highlights include the barking trippiness of 'I Pull Up' and the savage slappy tears of 'Get Money'. You Don Kno!

Review: It's the ultimate breakthrough tune... Released back in 2014, 'Badboy' was the tune that changed the game for DJ Hybrid and boosted him to the levels he's known and respected at to this day, how he's celebrating its legacy with a series of outstanding remixes from some very talented artists including Zapya, Bish, Toby Ross, Kartoon and Lavery. Highlights range from the modern day rave slappery from Zapya, the slower breakbeat bubbles from Toby Ross, Bish's steamroller session, Lavery's face-melting drum work and Kartoon going for a classic jungle twist. Hell even Hybrid himself has delivered a killer VIP. What a package!

Review: Oh gosh! Whether you're massively into Deep In The Jungle but you've got a few holes in your collection that need filling, or you've just started getting into this side of the music, this 60+ anthem collection is an amazing resource for all modern day junglists. Curated by bossman DJ Hybrid, this collection takes us back through the label's history and cherry picks an amazing array of peaktime wounders, bruisers and bubblers. To pick one or two highlights from such a generous collection doesn't feel right so let us advise you to take in that tracklist, press play and totally vibe out to some of the best jungle bangers made in the last 11 years. Mad love to the DITJ crew!

'Just Vibes' says it all; full-on breakbeat hurley burley with all the wobbyly subs and trippy tops you'd ever need. It sets the timeless vibe for the whole EP with highlights include the screwfacing DJ Hybrid-collabo rinse-out 'Wait No More' and the slightly slower, Watch The Ride style bubbles and flexes of 'If You Wanna'.

Review: Fresh from their massive 10 year compilation, Deep In The Jungle continue to flex their breakbeat muscles into new pastures with fresh artists and new sounds. And it doesn't get much fresher than this as Nautika and Gatehouse link up for two dreamy, soul-drenched workouts. 'Rinse Out' takes a mellow disco-flavoured approach while 'Let Loose' goes for a dreamier type of vibe. Both putting the deep back into Deep In The Jungle, once again DJ Hybrid's label keeps things fresh.

Review: Holy smokes! Deep In The Jungle is now 10 years old! Huge props to the label bossman - and all-round G - DJ Hybrid who's smashed the label's repertoire and reputation over the years. Just look at the artists who've contributed to the label over the years. Lavery, Sl8r, Hungry T, RMS, Conrad Subs, Epicentre and so many more established jungle talents have all enjoyed a DITJ boost over the years and this massive VA is a reminder of that. 50 cuts from across the last decade, we're not even going to insult the rollcall here picking highlights - this is a huge collection that's essential for anyone looking to stack up on authentic jungle productions and represent one of the coolest, most consistent labels in the jungle dnb world.

Review: Time for a reload! DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle look back over the last few years of skankings, tear-ups and vibe missions and curate them all in this awesome compilation that stretches the entire jungle drum & bass spectrum. From the classic Bristol style bubbles and bumps of cuts like Conrad Subs' 'It Goes On' to the more traditional junglistic savagery of cuts like Lupo's 'Retrograde', over 30 cuts we're treated to some beautiful 174BPM moments. Other highlights include the emotional 'Must Remember' from Critycal Dub, the powerful and poignant energy of the late great JDizz and the undying rawness of man like Kumarachi. This is awesome music.

Review: Last spotted on Deep In The Jungle's massive VA annual at the start of '23, newcomer Makaveli returns to the label with this epic slab of jungle head-benders. Each one of them hitting hard with the same raw vibe and skull tickling breaks the label has always been known and loved for, these are some high grade nugs for the summer. 'Everything For You', 'Deep In The Jungle' and 'Badbwoy Sound' all roll out like classic junglistic weapons while the finale cut 'Rollers Express' slows things down a tad to a smouldering 150. Perfect for those transitions. Makaveli, mom's spaghetti!

Six tracks heavy, each one hitting hard with the breaks, highlights include the mum-sucking diss flexes and classic Zinc style reverse bass warps on 'Boycamp', the grime influences on the rampant blaze-up 'Boy Move' and the pure tension and coldness of the deeper, minimal finale track 'Selecta'.

Laced with sharp bars from 2Shy MC and not shy of a few jazzy keys, it sets the scene for the whole collection where many highlights lurk, waiting to pounce out on you... 'Roller 98' will smother you with its swampy bassline swing, 'Bipolar Roller' will flatten you with its two-tone vocal energy while 'Turn It Around' is just a bouldering, smouldering ruiner that will still crush floors in 50 years time.

Nodding heavily in the direction of the rave foundations, cuts like 'Continue' and 'Love Can Bring' will have you reaching for your whistles and horns within moments while elsewhere 'Backspin' is will have you melting in a pool of emotions (before throwing up at the absolutely disgusting bassline) and 'The Reckoning' closes the EP on a big dubby odyssey.

Review: The Deep In The Jungle crew have pulled one final box of goodies out from under the tree before their Christmas break, welcoming three very exciting creators inside for the the 9th edition of their 'Deep In The Jungle Anthems' series. We open up with a system rumbling riot in 'Feel It', which sees the smooth production abilities of Street Creeps join forces with Tasha Alice for a nostalgic slide through some throwback junglist flavour. Next, 'Clap Your Hands' welcomes K Jah inside for a chord driven bulge through swampy subs and crunchy drum processing to match, before we reach a powerful finale in 'Nation', DJ Gaw's killer closer, stacked in floaty pad expressions and tidy drum work to match. A lovely way to close out the year.

Big booming subs, stripped back elements and loose springy breaks were the order of the day. Which is exactly the vibe DJ Hybrid and Mrs Magoo have captured here with 'Back To 96'. Complete with a crucial vocal mix with Rider Shafique on the VIP, lets go back in time and take the boom back from the boomers.

Review: Forever bringing forth new talents, DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle proudly introduces [IVY] with these two exceptional breakbeat workouts. Both laced with soul, emotion and musicality - but not afraid to slap you silly when the time is right - 'Moving' takes a bouncy, upbeat approach with springy garagey keys and housey / old school vocals (while kicking arse on the drops) and 'Take It' is a bit more mischievous and darker in its intent but still laced with a sensual, urgent vocal that gives it a really sexy twist. Tip top behaviour.

Nothing but pure fire from across the board as each artist works hard to bring their heaviest cuts and sharpest breaks to the ring. Mixed up by Mrs Magoo (who also collaborates on the track 'Big Bout Ya') the whole vibe and energy of this collection hits harder than 100 Fantazias.

Review: Somewhere on a dancefloor far, far away... Deep In The Jungle rallied up the troops for another bout of highly competitive (and exceedingly gully) Jungle Wars. The results were a high energy shoot out of historic proportions as all artists brought their very best to the battle. Here we have three fine examples as three artists, all very much on top of their game right now, lay down more teasers ahead of the album... Conrad Subs brings a little hardcore fever with the feels-heavy 'Wild Style', Epicentre's 'Cantankerous' will have you running to mumsy while Euphonique delivers one of her hardest hitting, warp-frenzied tracks to date in the form of 'No Problem'. The force is strong on these ones!

Review: Man like Kumarachi returns to his spiritual stomping ground Deep In The Jungle with some absolutely disgusting rave energy. 'Echoes' is chock-a-block with hardcore and early jungle elements, all wrapped up and galvanised into a heady ballistic brew. The foundation fire continues on 'Everything I Do', which comes on strong like a classic Headz piece, while 'Bad Boy Sound' rubs our faces in the bassline dirt before firing us up into space with a deep cosmic set of synths. Finally 'No Repeat' reminds us of Kumar's sci-fi side with stunning electro-like synthetic menace and a set of drums so sharp and brisk they could fly you round the universe and back. Badness.

It's a proper old school junglist roller featuring the lyrical skills of MC Neat, and some beautiful soulful vocals by Sammie Hall. Despite the title, the Jungle mix is more of a techy stepper with an early aughts sound to it, and we liked it all the same. Also featured are some instrumental versions for your rinsing pleasure.

One of the key artists in the Invicta Audio crew, she lives up to her 'Badgyal' credentials through and through on this this EP. The title track instantly hits hard with big vocals from Logan and a stinking, gutter-chomping bassline to boot. It's backed up by more fire as she links with SMG and Madrush MC on the gnarly, jump-up hybrid 'Game Changer', 'Bill' is a scatty, steppy affair that buzzes, crunches, and sizzles all at once with a poisonous concoction of bassline flavours while Riding West (with Natty D) is a pure bulldozer riddim. Naughty through and through, Anais is just getting warmed up here.

'Gold Selection' says it all as a big soul sample brings the heat over a rolling, rattling breakbeat. The rest of the EP maintains the high level with big moments like the overwhelming sub rumbles on 'Let's Jungle' and an overdriven roll-out that's so bad-ass, you'd think it came out of Bristol around 97 on Dope Dragon.

Review: Not to be confused with flat earth believers, or the flat white (a generic coffee of choice for many people) Flat T is actually a longstanding badman based in the east coast and usually found frolicking around the evergreen playground between jungle and jump-up. This massive EP on Deep In The Jungle is no exception as he unleashes a rainbow of gully across five tracks. Notable moments of 'YES' include the Clipz-style high range bass tones and funky bubbles of 'Pied Piper', that beautiful, tear-jerking vocal sample on the emotional brock-out 'Womens Work' and the insane depth charge bassline plummet on 'Guilt'. And that's not even the whole EP. 'Colony' - proof that working together will always pay off.

It's another gunfingers affair as 'Soundboy' kicks us out of orbit with all the space between its elements. Elsewhere 'Retrograde' hits hard with a serious breakbeat sound that wouldn't have gone amiss on the likes of Dread around 1997, 'Lucid' is all shakers and savage licks while 'Original' brings us to a halt with a ridiculous bassline pattern and breaks so chiselled they'll trim all whiskers in a 20 mile radius.

Reflecting exactly where the mother genre is at right now in 2021, he's dug deep for a whole range of flavours, including a few cheeky exclusives. Every track is a banger but you'd be mad not to check Crom and Rider Shafique's theatrical slap-about 'Change', Xav's mind-blowing shock-out '1993', Mrs Magoo & DJ Hybrid's stripped-back and purring 'Back To 96' and the absolutely foul behaviour of Kumarachi & Epicentre with 'Patterns'.

Review: A long time ago, in a land far, far away, Deep in the Jungle unleashed interplanetary destruction on a galactic scale. Not really, but they are channelling the force with this compilation, which ropes in some of the galaxy's fiercest producers to craft old-school riddims with a futuristic touch. Conrad Subs lands all phasers blasting with a bunch of different cuts, and his collaboration 'Rock On' with DJ Hybrid is an absolute percy, a sub-heavy wobbler that oozes funk through brass stabs and a rhythmic, catchy approach. Redline flips a light, fluttery intro into bassline-led low frequency devastation, whilst Kartoon gets old school with his remix 'Lions of Judah' by Sharpz. Unreal stuff.

'Back To 96' is a time travel machine that takes you back to the days of rolling reece basses and frantic percussive work, simpler times when all you needed was the barebones to create a vibe. Conrad Subs goes in a funkier direction, with brash brass notes that lead into a wobbling concoction of bouncing basslines and innocent clubland notes. Cracking.

Crom feat Rider Shafique
Review: Deep In the Jungle know a thing or two about curating rough and ready beats, and this EP from Crom fits the bill perfectly. Across four tracks, the producer spits out a diverse mix of beat structures that form a singular purpose: dancefloor readiness. The title track is the highlight, as Rider Shafique does his usual business of injecting menace and catchiness in one fell swoop, this time above a stuttering junglist beat and sweeping basslines. 'Sticks & Stones' is our other favourite, a stripped back, no-nonsense tune with clean, powerful percussion and a relentless feel to it that reminds us of Grey Code or HLZ. Big ups.

Review: Toby Ross has arrived on Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle label and you can hear why his music has been deemed to have made the cut. This release is a solid envelope of tunes which demonstrate a serious understanding of jungle's nastier end, the type of breaks music which some hate but which inspires a passionate love for the genre in others. The first track is the best example of this, its pointed, jagged-edged basslines are cutting and penetrating at the same time, snappy drums lie underneath and the whole tune is packaged with effortless finesse. 'Soundclash Riddim' packs a reece bass that will haunt you into your dreams and baby, what a tune that is. Unreal.

Review: The second chapter in Deep in the Jungle Anthems 7 is upon us, and there is yet another cacophonous blend of fractious jungle riddims inside. Drawn from artists across the scene both old and new, this LP is the second leg of a journey that's pull you deep through the spiky, rough edges of a the jungle. The crashing force of K Jah's 'Quest' is a good example, as repetitive breaks needle their way into your soul amidst a wobbling sub and jazzy samples. Bish is on remix duties for label boss DJ Hybrid and his tune 'Badboy', which samples possibly one of dance music's most iconic film lines and does so amidst a relentless, rolling instrumental. Sick - there are over 30 tracks inside so get involved.

Review: With some cool, dark, artwork, Conrad Subs has landed on Deep in the Jungle with a hard-hitting five-tracker which combines a penetrating sense of attitude with a non-nonsense approach to musical arrangements. 'Love 4 U' has an warped-out, Souped Up vibe in its arrangement that feels powerful to the extreme and is perfect for a crowded dancefloor, especially with its underpinning in some weighty percussion. 'Funk Me Sideways' is the roller of the EP and grounded in wobbly atmospherics and a sense of space which makes it a pleasure to listen to, its snapping drum line providing the ground rock underneath. The rest are proper sick as well - big ups.

Review: Deep in the Jungle continue their onwards march with this, the seventh edition in their widely acclaimed Anthems series, a compilation that always finds the ideal mix of current and future talent to showcase. In the case of the former, well-travelled producers Epicentre and Kumarachi roll things out and tear them down on 'Light Em Up', which features a gnarly array of interlinked bass nodes and torn low frequency sonics, al underpinned by a percussion section that's the perfect blend of rusty and sharp. New talent emerges in the form of Trobe and Mirage, who have their first label release with '89', although you wouldn't have guessed it based off this tune's razor clean percussive edge and expert use of space, a hard thing to get right and one this pair blow out the water here. Rave samples, expansive basslines and a synth arrangement you won't be able to shake - unmissable. 34 tracks later and Deep in the Jungle have nailed every single one of them - big ups.

Review: The second sampler ahead of Deep in the Jungle's 7th Anthems album is here and gives us another glimpse into what is sure to be a superb collection of vicious jungle weapons - they always are. This one features Crossy on remix duties for Epicentre and Diligent Fingers, and he's turned 'Run Up' into a vibrant track with a gorgeous set of hi-hat studded drums and a luscious, deep bassline that packs plenty of attitude. 'Run Dem' by Hybrid is stepping in its percussion and lands with a seriously heavy amount of downwards pressure, whilst Bish remixes Hybrid's 'Badboy' to great effect. Toby Ross and K Jah both kill their tunes as well, and to say we're excited about this album would be an understatement.

Review: This is the first sampler to drop ahead of the next Deep in the Jungle Anthems LP, and since we're seven deep into this series already, you'll know just how hard they tend to hit. This sampler is no exception and the team have roped in a handful of the best in the game. Napes steps up first for a remix of 'Madman' by DJ Hybrid and the result is furious expression of breaks and bass, a flurry of energy that starts on the drop and doesn't let up for a second, its old school vibe cut through with modern jump up force. Janaway's cut - 'Know Dem' - is especially sick, with stepping drums and an infectiously funky bassline that ripples with high frequency energy. Conrad Subs lives up to his name with the subby monster that is 'When Its Time', and Tony Ross keeps things minimal on 'Marathon'. Sick.

Review: If you're looking for frantic, high intensity breakbeats then Deep in the Jungle is one of the most reliable destinations. Their back catalogue proves this beyond all doubt, and this latest four-tracker from Java is more evidence, if it was even needed. Jungle is on a big hype right now and Java's approach ticks all the boxes whilst remaining unique, from its driving percussion, to its ragga sampling and bouncing basslines. 'Rudeboy' has serious clash vibes, with clattering breaks that just won't quit and a rave atmosphere that will leave you gagging for the dancefloor, a heady approach that respects the contours of the genre's history. The final track - 'Skylarking' - is the other standout, with a superbly wobbling bassline that is made for a system and designed to give you a bass face. Another wicked addition to the collection.

Review: DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle label is one of the hottest destinations for first class jungle that exists right now, and his curational skills are back in force with this four-tracker from Conrad Subs and Grimesy, two producers who are absolutely on a roll. This is proper barebones stuff and two worlds are merged with the dulcet vocal tones of Lizzy Stringer on 'Time', which sees vocal magic float above a tight, penetrating jungle beat. There is a reece bass to die for on 'Red Rum', whilst 'Golden Era' sees a warped-out foghorn bash around its clattering junglist foundations with serious attitude. Top release.

Review: Deep in the Jungle are back doing what they do best - laying fractious jungle rhythms and having a blast while they do it. This time around it's Critycal Dub, and their focus with The Secret is focused on what's really important with this music, the barebones elements of the genre that give it vitality and soul. Nowhere is that more apparent than on title tune 'The Secret', featuring DJ Hybrid, which soulfully flicks its way through the intro and into a fluctuating, vibrant reece bass that perfectfully hovers in place, caught in suspended animation between the teeth of the drums. 'Can't Stop' feat. Yush is more junglist fever, while 'Cluster Bombs' strips things back even more on a slightly rollier tip. Big.

Review: Deep in the Jungle have emerged as arguably the biggest standout new jungle label in recent times and, off the back of their growing family of artists, they've decided to try and represent both where the label and the genre are in 2020. With artists from DJ Hybrid, to Conrad Subs and beyond, it's a statement of intent from the imprint. The music reflects that intention as well, with jungle sounds throughout but punctuated with that modern, sharper edge that we've come to expect from our newly revitalised scene. DJ Hybrid's 'On A Riddim' is the best example, as a punchy bass note streams out of a bedrock of clattering breaks, whilst we're seriously digging the rolling reece's of 'The Rhythm' by Conrad Subs. All of these are proper percys.

Jungle vibes primed from the off, "Natural High" kicks things off on a warm bubbly vibe before the EP gets heavier and heavier; "Lonely Monday Morning" is a turbo slab of warped bassed and scorching breaks, "Let's Do It" is the shredder of the collection with its turbine bass roars and pranged out dubby textures while "Oklm" ups the drum ante once again with some real neck-breaking breaks. Finaly "Oldskool Raver" finishes off the EP with foundation class. Watch out for those classic synth sounds... They'll make everyone over the age of 35 wet their trousers in seconds.

Review: Holy moly! This is how you smash open a new decade; a 50 track album absolutely drenched in stinkage. Now a tradition for DJ Hybrid's label, this anthem collection is one of the biggest to date with names and vibes across the spectrum. Epicentre, Kumarachi, Conrad Subs, Stompz, Veak, RMS and many more all bring their fieriest artillery with highlights bursting from the seams. Every single track slaps the dance from the stripped back drumfunk and demented mentasms of Substrate's "Throwback" to the mystic sitar twangs and heavy bass bangs of Euphonique's "Moksha" via ruded up Dread bass badness of the bossman's own "Lost In The Jungle". And that's not even the tippiest tip of this anthemic jungle iceberg. Don't dilly dally.

Review: Deep In The Jungle Records is a UK jungle imprint that have been making bigger and bigger waves over the past several years, a big part of which is their affinity for fat compilations that straddle numerous sub-genre boundaries and which represent lots of different artists. This next one is about classics and it features artists like Conrad Subs, Kumarachi, DJ Hybrid, Kartoon and more. Conrad Subs is a favourite of ours and his cut, Takeover, is a wicked, deep rolling piece of work that packs a sick bassline, one which makes you think of late-night raving at its finest.

Review: Both of these artists and Deep In The Jungle have been excelling this past year and in some ways they've helped each other, the pairing of Kumarachi and Epicentre is a match made in heaven with their barebones jungle sound fitting the label perfectly. Patterns is no different with 'Murda' getting things off to a wonderfully wobbly start, with diving sub basses and funky, nonchalant drums. 'Evolve' touches on more classic jungle notes, a riotous break slams down the middle whilst ever-present bass stabs punctuate the arrangement and inject that junglist force every good breaksy track needs. The title tune is in the same vein, whilst 'Last Time' is a lovely little roller. More top work from this crew.

Instantly going for the jugular with a chainsaw bassline, charged-up breaks, he soon eases us into a little more soulful territory on the piano-tickling "Soul 4 Real". Elsewhere "Runaway With You" takes us deep into a field sometime in the early 90s on a bed of woozy sax and "Bristol Vibe" brings the funk in all the right ways you'd expect with such a title.

Review: Do you like venturing deep into the jungle? Well, if you do, make sure you don't get lost - the jungle is massive. Jokes aside, this four-track sampler precludes a full-length release that offers you the exact type of jungle tour you need. Up first is the prolific DJ Hybrid with 'Rumble In The Jungle', a stuttering, rambunctious jungle cut that hits hard and leaves you in a slight state of shock. 'Run Em Out' by Epicentre is full of upbeat ragga vocals and samples, the top-line to a tune that has a ferocious bottom-line pinning it all together over a rolling percussive line. Kumarachi bloody does in on 'Have You Here' and to finish, RMS goes in just as hard on 'Clash Stash'. Top sampler - can't wait for the full thing.

He's not showing any signs of slowing down either as this return to DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle imprint proves... There's a wry nod to speed garage on the Rip Groove saluting "Special Request" and the 187 Lockdown referencing "Come Selecta" while elsewhere we have rapid ragga chats on "XXL", deeper sci fi funk on "Sound Killa", absolutely savage breakbeat shattery on "Lions Dub" and stone cold jungle finale "Run The Track".

Review: Veak explodes out of the blocks with this release, a six-tracker of heavy-weight jungle-influenced music that simply doesn't mess around. 'Hard Times' features rattling jungle breaks from the outset along with classic samples, a real bit of jungle pressure that'll make want to dance. 'Pressure Drop' earns its name easily, as more classic reggae sampling takes you back to the junglist roots amidst forceful bassline attacks. 'Supernova' switches up the vibes slightly with its synth-focused direction that injects a slick electrionic feel into a mostly organic EP - nice and celestial. 'Badman Riddin' has an crazy, pummelling kick that smacks of Enei's 'Hot Plate' and its classic jungle basses will have you gasping to hear the final two. Rest assured, they're also excellent and finish off a wicked EP in style.

Review: With roots going back to the turn of the decade and labels like Metalheadz in his discogs Soul Defiance needs no further reference. Neither does DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle seals of approval for that matter. What we're talking about here are five moments of authentic rollage laced with superb choppy fills and powerful production. Highlights in the swashbuckling breaks chops on "Rudebwoy", the synapse snapping steps and alien bass squirms on "Oblivion" and the scattershot 23rd century funk of "Man On A Mission". Primordial super.

Review: Deep In The Jungle is a UK based label dedicated to resurrecting the jungle stylings of yesteryear and bringing them back to their rightful place: front and centre of the dancefloor. Next up on the label are Canadians RMS & Veak with some hard drum and bass steppers on the Foundations EP, which undoubtedly give a respectful nod to the old school. From moments of fierce darkside breakbeat science as heard on "Fiyah Burn" or "Amen Props", through to the title track or "Hear It Come" which use late '90s reference points such as Dillinja or Loxy & Ink.

Review: The man, the myth, the monster... Kumarachi returns to one of his strongest stomping grounds Deep In The Jungle for a furious four piece of amen addled action. "Sound Boi" sets the hair raising tone and pace before we're treated to a whole cavalcade of collabs.... Newcomer Veak joins the fray for two stinking space gazing work outs while the similarly unavoidable Sl8r brings the badness on the finale "Freeze" where low slung subs worm, wriggle and melt beneath evocative rave pads and head turning pitched drums. Phenomenal scenes as always.

Review: Epicentre is back on Deep In The Jungle and he's packing a clutch of gully workouts so absurd and wild you'll need at least ten or twenty pairs shoes to throw at him every time you see him. In vein with his "Run It" EP on the label this time last year, this is Epicentre at his most militant and full force; the marching snares and eastern instrumentation of "Big Bloodclart Sound", the blistering breaks of "Bruk Up" and "Buss Di Gat" (with his longstanding mate and Sub Woofah bossgyal Euphonique) and the nose chiselling two-step of "Anxious" and the purring sub VIP flip of last year's "Infamous". Patience is no longer a virtue, it's downright essential.

Review: He's our selecta, he's your selecta, he's My Selecta and he's clearly been deep in the lab working on his craft as this is the first outing we've heard from the young northerner in over a year now. The wait has been worth it; upping the tempo from his signature breaks to gully jungle climes, each cut shatters and batters in true DITJ style: "Get Up" is all about skitty drums and dizzying intense feels the best peak time jungle jams create, "It's On You" takes us deeper down the tunnels with a cleverly manipulated vocal sample and booming subs, "Run" is all about the aggy kick drum patterns and iced out ravey pads while "Hold On" closes the show with a gritty bassline brawl that nods respectfully to the tones and textures of the foundation Headz releases. Fire in the hole!

Review: It's time, once again, for Deep In The Jungle to cordially invite you to their cosy Murderation station. Home to four brutal killers, you might not leave alive.... But they promise the last thing you'll hear before you croak your last puff are the gulliest sounds imaginable. SL8R chops off our gun fingers and switches them to rifle fingers with his gut-melting groan bass and venomous breaks, Kid Mix-A-Lot gives us bless by 1000 skanks on the hip-slinking dubwise "Original Selectah" while Fokus takes us up to the highest of levels with the classic reggae vocal... Only to let us plummet back to earth with a ravished bump. Finally Jahnglist Bwoy picks up your broken pieces and puts you back together in the form of the rudeboy you actually wish you were. Dead good.

Review: Let us see your war face!! Just in case the "Ravey Misbehavey" collection on his Audio Addict imprint wasn't enough this week, DJ Hybrid has also blessed us with this killer "Jungle Wars" series edition. As always the vibes are high with each track rolling like a 10-strong trip to Holland. Highlights include the dancehall damage of Euphonique & Kelvin 373's sticky icky "Hot Spliff", Veak's rusty break gut-puncher "Nuff Respect" and the classic rave stabs and thundering drum work on DJ Hybrid's "Stand Up".

Review: When Deep In The Jungle tell you your number is up, you best start ordering a coffin and planning your goodbyes. They don't muck around mate. Especially when it's the likes of label mainstay RMS at the controls. This time he's brought an equally murderous new Canadian talent in the form of Dublic. Flexing with a bold ragga tint throughout, each cut hits hard and fast with flashes of soul amid the tightly rolled breaks. From the siren-wailing, vocal cutting, break-melting "Deadman Walking" to the precision balance of sunshine skanks and thundering sub groans of "Soundboy Test" via the rave-tinged vocal and trippy bass Q&A of "Night Sounds", if this is a death sentence, bring on the funeral.

Review: Walk on by if you're expecting this to be some type of homage to Skrillex. This is the true essence of patios bangarang... Total chaos and a hubbub of the highest order. Six sticks of 170 dynamite, we range from the high voltage shreds and danger of "Tune Deh Bad", the bumpy Bristol blunderbuss vibes of "Save Me" to the aquatic skanks and hip-swaying energy and dynamics of "Deep Energy". With plenty more stinkers to be found in between, this is one of Veak's biggest and baddest EPs to date. Beast mode enabled.

Review: Yorkshire's Galvatron returns to DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle with his most generous EP in a long time. Six tracks, all sitting happily at the blistered, frazzled edge of jungle, each cut kicks hard with his signature ruffled edge. Highlights include the Vamp-style techno detuned synth hook and spatially-stretched drums of "System Test", the sunkissed skanks and the brutal tin-pan smacking drum tones of "Shack Out" and the classic house vox subversion of the lead track on "Never Enough". Pure jungle power jams.

Review: With releases on STAT, Inna Rhythm and Soul Deep Digital already under his cap this year, Conrad Subs makes his debut on DJ Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle with five more rowdy workouts. "Rampin" tickles a pungent whiff of Bristol thanks to its harmonic bassline riff, "Dubrock" is all trippy drums and gunshots, "Spit Shine" takes us deep into the rave with a Binga-style jitteriness while "Let Me Go" turns us inside out with its turbo bass shots, sirens and rampant drumwork. Finally "Basic Replay" closes on a slick sick steppy fix. Easily Conrad's most comprehensive and hardest hitting collection so far.

Review: From deep in the jingle, Deep In The Jungle arise from their Christmas chrysalis with their biggest album to date... 44 absolute beasts from some of their closest allies, freshest friends and long-time sparring partners. From the soaring synths and twisted drum switches of Kumarachi's "For You" to the classical rave feels of Demented Frequency's "Amens On The Nile" via absolute toxic gully from the likes of Galvatron, Didak, Veak, Redline, Epicentre, Sweet N Sikka, Conrad Subs, Martyn Nytram and the bossman DJ Hybrid himself this is a pure steel steal. Nothing short of essential.

Review: Batten down your hatches, lock down your aerials, keep your pets inside: Deep In The Jungle are about to slap 2018 silly with another massive album. And it kicks off here with some of the label's finest. Bossman DJ Hybrid and currently unstoppable RMS take the lead with "Now That Your Gone" which hits and slices with a Charge-style hoover riff, Welsh artist Substrate follows with his DITJ debut, the amen-shattering, Remarc-style slammer "Crayfish" while the bulletproof banger wizard Kumararchi gets all grizzly and ruffneck on "Buss A Ting". Finally Opius & Dapz leave us hanging for more with a powerful brock-out that nods slyly at the mid 90s Urban Takeover sound with added splashes of gospel. Bring on the album!

Review: The force is strong on this one! One of Deep In The Jungle's most consistent and prolific artists, RMS has been shelling us with raw jungle bombs for some time now and this is one of his biggest EPs to date. Heavy highlights hang from every hurter; the sickeningly savage drums on "Am I Crazy", the molten breaks and rolling drum funk of "Universe", the unabashed brock-out-ness of "Rasta Yout", the raw unfettered Good Looking rushes of "Take It", the deft scratches on "Now Is Time" and the classic V feels of "Hi Grade". Loaded with cameos from equally talented peers and pals like Dcision, Skru and Schematic, these collisions are nothing short of deadly.

Review: THIS MEANS WAR: Hybrid's Deep In The Jungle crew dust off their best breaks for a second bout in their authentic roller battle. Label boss Hybrid teams up with rising star RMS for the ragga-raged lead track before we're treated to crucial cuts from the across the label's ever-growing talent roster: DJ Cautious's "Romy" is a stripped back swinger with stacks of space for the distinctive Top Cat style vocal chants, Galvatron pulls of the switch of his life on the expertly-tuned skank shock out "Revolution" and Lavery's awesomely titled "Akai Blackeye". Watch out for those cascading pitched snares, they're lethal. Let us see your war face!
