Launched by highly-popular DJ, producer and SASASAS member Macky Gee in 2014, Down 2 Earth Musik is his first step into the label world, honing in on his unique, barbaric brand of fully-flung jump up drum & bass. Always turning heads with their rapturing, instantly-recognisable sound, the UK-based hit factory is moving forth at lightning pace, already releasing standalone tracks and the expansive, well-received ‘Moments’ LP from Macky himself (featuring Harry Shotta, Ragga Twins & Erb N Dub), as well as shining a spotlight on some of the most exciting new names that are just announcing themselves to the wider masses - Down 2 Earth provides them with a spectacular platform to launch from. High-profile releases from Mollie Collins, Complex, Spaow, Tsuki, Xyphon, KY, Hizzleguy, Matzet, Burt Cope and Xeonz amongst others have garnered hugely positive attention from all corners of the genre, evidencing Macky’s prowess not just as a DJ and producer, but also as a label head and A&R.
Review: Down 2 Earth Muzik is Macky Gee's imprint, his way of putting out more of the music he personally enjoys and wishes there was more of, a stamp he can plonk down on the scene and call his own. This next release is from Gino and it seems like he's heard the criticism that jump up is too samey, and so gone out and tried to refine and change the sound. He's definitely succeeded, whether you're into it is up to you, but there's a certain creativity in how the synths and basses are constructed and how they relate to each other. We love it and can't wait to hear more. The title track is especially good, with a super unique beat pattern and tough and tumble vibes popping off all over the shop.
Review: Down 2 Earth Muzik are without a doubt one of the strongest jump up labels around at the moment and their output is so damn consistent, with almost a new release every week. This week it's the turn of Spaow, a regular on the label, and, this release is a four-tracker chracterised by its sheer veracity. With crisp drums and a tumbling percussive line, 'Sniff The Bass' rolls out in style, hitting punches and stealing packed lunches left right and centre, with a really original, complex approach to make interlinked basses. Gino, Skibadee and Heist features on trracks two, three and four and it's the last of these we love most - 'Plastic Kebab'. Proper tune this - no messing around, but then again what would you expect from these two?
