Review: Exclamations at the ready... Nick The Lot jumps aboard the good ship Dub Shotta with three bangers so tightly coiled and full of venom they're likely to illicit a severe slew of 'Oh My Gosh' remark from you, your dancefloor and your nan. The title track is all about the back-and-forth between the squeeky top line and the razzy, distorted low end, 'Inner Pickle' takes NTL's savage stew to a much darker place of tension before 'Radio Active Light' finishes off the EP with a full-flavoured chaotic tear-up. Oh gosh indeed.
Review: Jungle don Benny Page returns to last year's P.U.R.P.L.E album and shares out the parts to some of the many stand-out tracks for some timely remix justice. First up Kursiva plugs "Power" up to the mains and flips it into a high voltage tech-edge shock-out. Zero G follows with his switch-up on "Bless". One of the album's lower tempo dub joints, he supercharges it with skippy breaks, warm skanks and great use of both Sweetie and Eva's vocals. Finally the fast-rising Kleu takes "Should A Know" into brazen new pastures of badness with his absolute shredder of a remix. Boys and girls better know. Dutty!
Review: Dub Shotta are here with four-track from Zero G and Sublow HZ that's typically insane. This label always - repeat, ALWAYS - bring out the goods with their tunes and this release is no different, sitting very nicely in the modern, up-to-date brand of attitude-filled D&B pioneered by the likes of Serum and hundreds of others. Title track 'Raggamuffin' exemplifies this perfectly, with a rough and diving bassline that will definitely sit well with the discerning D&B head, especially when it's combined with the ragga vocals. 'The Don' is another creative cut, its spooky bassline definitely setting it apart from others. A top, top release from the crew.
Review: Back to 2006! Originally released on Shy FX's seminal Digital Soundboy, Benny Page's timeless soulful jungle piece "Turn Down The Lights" gets a relick from none other than Brookes Brothers and Rene Lavice. Taking things back to the mid/late 2000s vibe during which the original had its anthem status approved, there's a warm tubular sound the bassline and loads of cool disco glitches and stabs to keep things interesting. Next up is Benny's long, long LONG awaited VIP. Crunchier in the beats and laced with some really gully bass gurgles, it's what VIPs were invented for.
