Drawing on the roots of jungle, Dubplate Dread fires out raw, heavy and dark drum and bass ammunition, fit to destroy any soundsytem. The label has so far rolled out releases from the likes of: Conrad Subs, Xav, El, Fleck, J.O.E, N-Dread, Toby Ross and Ray Keith himself.
Review: A long time in the making; E-Lisa finally gets to release her biggest EP on Dubplate Dread. Weighing in at six tracks - all with her own vocals as well as production - it's more of a mini album than it is an EP, and it hits like one, too. Tracks like 'Love Struck' and the title track 'Craving For You' hurl you into a deep D&B abyss where emotions are high and E-Lisa's lush euphoric pads and delicate vocal immerse you in a sea of soothing sonics. Elsewhere tracks like 'Pressure' and 'The End' slap with more tension and dark drama. A highly accomplished EP executed with subtlety, class and craft; one of the best Dubplate Dread releases in recent times.
