Review: Dread at the controls! The bearded baron returns with his umpteenth studio album and it's another wild trip into the timeless jungle rabbit hole. From the opening shimmers and ripples and strangely timed vocal sample of 'Cybertron' to the final rushes of the euphoric closer 'Sunrise', it's one of his most consistent, soulful and musical bodies in years. Other highlights include the jazzy introspection of 'Helm's Deep' and the raw funk and classic samples of 'Rudeboy 22'. Fly high.

Review: Ray Keith is back on the road with his archive series, in which he digs up old classics and shows us some of the sounds of his past. We can assume that Ray Keith's archives are absolutely enormous, given the sheer amount of time that he's spent producing, curating and releasing music, and the strength of this LP demonstrates that best of all. The eponymously titled 'Dread Sound' shows off what Keith is about - roughshod, rolling reece basses and fractious junglist beats, a basement-worthy sound palette that feels both nostalgic and right up to date. 'Filthy Jazz' is another highlight, as stomping drums come into conflict with funky stabs and melodic notes, a juxtaposition of sounds that works to great effect. Big.

Review: They don't get much more legendary than Ray Keith's Dread Recordings, an imprint which has been in the game for years and, unsurprisingly, Keith is packing a shedload of lost dubs and dusty tapes. This is the fifth edition of the release of such tapes, and it's a trip down both memory lane and a road characterised by shuddering breaks and rough but roaringly good basslines. 'Phantom Dread' is especially good, as a ridiculously sharp snare rolls out with eerie precision, before a choppy structure pans through a litany of tumbling breaks and spooky atmospherics. Typically Keith, extremely wicked.

Review: Ray Keith's Dread Recordings has paid host to a litany of memorable tracks and infamous artists over the years, and this week's remix single is no different. Featuring T>I and Benny L on remix duties for two tracks by Ray Keith and Dark Soldier, it's a release whose finger is firmly tacked onto the pulse of the scene. T>I's minimal VIP of 'Renegade' slams from start to finish, with delicately placed piano riffs moving apart for its smash and grab portrayal of T>I's signature style. Benny goes junglist on the flip side, and 'Dark Soldier' is as moody as it is aggressive. Top form here.

Review: Since emerging on L Double's Flex a few years back, Margaman has blessed us with a whole string of timeless cuts through the likes of Kenny Ken's Mix & Blen, Dawn Raid's Hocus Pocus and Ash-A-Tack's Director's Cut. Now he makes his debut on Ray Keith's seminal Dread imprint with two incendiary EPs. It kicks off here with the massive 2am blow-out "Searching", a track that grabs you instantly with its over-layered vocals and energetic thrust. Other highlights include the stripped back tribality and jazzy echoes of "Tribe Of Benjamin", the slurry bass and Headzy mentasms of "Satisfy" the space-race metallic tech-step pace of "Nasty Bloodclart" and the neck-breaking jungle grunts of "You Still Here". Dig deep as there's a whole other EP as part of this release too. Margman isn't messing around!

Review: Dread Recordings unleash their fifth mixtape of dancefloor stormers, and with 17 massive tracks to choose from, they're not mucking about. Spanning the entire genre of drum and bass from its old school beginnings to modern minimal and everything in between, there's something for every picky sub-genre bass aficionado. This tracklist of rising stars like Excalibur, Mara Man and Deploy sit alongside the likes of Savage Rehab and Renegade Live to pull off the biggest D&B event of the year. Hold tight, this is gonna get messy.

Review: Following the first collection of digital dubplates and VIPs from veteran producer Ray Keith's seemingly bottomless archives, Dread Recordings returns with another bumper selection of tracks from the vault. His vintage junglist style sounds as fresh as it always has, with highlights including the early liquid offerings of "Rare Groove", the syncopated sub action of "Too Strong", the savage jungle bass and subtle Detroit-style pads of "Unorthadox", and the rave-inspired madness that is closing track "Wobbler". Quite simply, they don't make 'em like this any more.

Review: Evergreen Ray Keith continues to pump out the hits in his fearless, floor-friendly junglist style. This fresh, digital-only album features a range of his own dubplates - previously unreleased cuts that he's been spinning on and off for Lord knows how long. There are few surprises - by now, we should all know what his vntage, Amen-sporting old skool style sounds like - but plenty of confirmed bangers, from the breakbeat hardcore rinse-out of "Chopper" and pleasing vocal cut "Midnight", to the intense rhythms of bombastic closer "Visual Attack".

Review: As one of jungle's originals, there was a time when Ray Keith was one of the heaviest hitters in the drum and bass scene. These days, his star has waned a little and is known more as Joy Orbison's uncle, but he still retains the ability to rock a dancefloor. For those of a certain vintage, I Am Renegade - his first new album in three years - should be a bit of a treat. Devoid of contemporary thrills - bar a trip into deeper territory in the shape of "Stardust" - it recycles the amen-heavy brand of hard-hitting jungle and hardcore with which Keith made his name during the 1990s. As such, it's a thrilling blast from the past.

Review: Serum steps up for a seriously bass-heavy release on Ray Keith's infamous Dread Recordings. It's deadly by name, deadly by nature in the title track, as a tense, trembling string section in the intro gives way to an iconic vocal sample, and then the tune drops into a sub bass booming fray with gently ticking breaks and a deadening sense of foreboding. Accompanying this is "Prototype" with its menacing snares, eerie SFX and punishing bass wobbles, it's a track for the true D+B soldier. Approach with caution!
