PVC - "Give Me Bass" - (5:24) 130 BPM
Review: What an absolute treat from the F2 stable this is! The courageous label has taken it upon itself to keep releasing puristic garage in an era where genres are bbeing blurred like Saturday night cocktails, and it really is a great thing to have someone carrying on the UK's seminal tradition along the hardcore continuum. This is the first volume of their F2 comps, and features a whol load of break-ready, gun-toting individuals wishing to inject some class into modern house. Inside, you'll find some absolute bangers for peeps like Champion, Tuff Culture, Deadbeat - who comes through with some twisted two-step - and Pharaoh K, among the many fresh faces on here. SICK!

Cave Explorer
Cave Explorer - (3:54) 132 BPM Hot
Selektar - (4:34) 134 BPM
Review: Sheffield's JG may not be Ballard but there's still plenty of crash in his upfront hard-hitting bassy productions. Cave Explorer may be his most fierce yet, boasting two cuts that literally provide passage to the underground. The title track is all about the hip-hop string samples, jukey percussion and lots of wobbly metallic subs. He brings some serious fiyah on "Selektar" though - with distant police sirens mixing with scattershot beats and eccentric basslines. This produce has ventured deep underground and has discovered pools of creativity hidden beneath.

Illusion/One More
Illusion - (5:42) 130 BPM Hot
One More - (6:55) 130 BPM
Review: Futuristic UKG vibes are the order of the day as New Movement affiliate Mind Of A Dragon belches out more smoky, spiky soul. Tipping wry nods to the Todd Edwards style of garage with vocal snippets being used as instrumental elements, but done in a much darker 2016 style, "Illusion" wriggles with angular funk while "One More" takes us on a more heads-down early 2000 tip. Both kill it.

Solar/Desire
Solar - (6:31) 125 BPM
Desire - (6:00) 125 BPM Hot
Review: Midlands bass hero Tuff Culture doesn't normally show his feminine side. Having taken ages off to perhaps contemplate this issue, he's now returned with this emotional new two-track jam. "Solar" features cascading, flowery sonics, with smoky late night harmonies and velvety smooth orchestration. "Desire", meanwhile, sees him toughen up his act somewhat, adjusting his collar and knuckling down to produce some harder garagey beats. Before you know it, the menacing future step bass mangling kicks in and it's business as usual. Two different takes on bass from a top producer.

Lower My Glasses/Tuff
Lower My Glasses (feat Mr Chiverton) - (4:35) 129 BPM Hot
Tuff - (4:59) 65 BPM
Review: Leeds producer Joedan made a name for himself on the great Influx:Audio a while ago, and his effective d&b hybrids have been pleasing us ever since. He's up on F2 for his latest appearance, and he's in more of a garage mode than anything else, serving up an old-school rocker with a 4/4 beat and Chiverton's dangerous vocals on top of it - the main hook is instantly seductive...the inimitable "Lower My Glasses". "Tuff", on the other hand, goes for the jugular thanks to its mutant bass swarm, broken beats and heads - down flavour.

Out Of Line
Out Of Line - (4:01) 130 BPM
Young Hustlaz - (4:35) 130 BPM Hot
Review: In his first EP away from recent home Tumble Audio, edgy UKG fella Deadbeat resurfaces here with Out Of Line on the F2 label. There are two new sizzlers to devour - the title track with all its skippy, wobble-heavy attitude and the sample-laden, aggressive bleep-fest, "Young Hustlaz".

It Could Be
It Could Be - (5:55) 127 BPM Hot
Close - (6:25) 127 BPM
Review: Formula's F2 off-shoot follows up PVC's grimey debut with two show-stopping UKG cuts from the fast-rising Tuff Culture. "It Could Be" treads a fine line between sexy and sassy with its polished keys and honeyed vocal sample and utter filth with its growling bassline. "Close", meanwhile, goes on a My Nu Leng flex with strutting 4/4 drums and an array of ghostly bass tones. Gutter business.

Give Me Bass / The Underground
Give Me Bass - (5:24) 129 BPM Hot
Underground - (5:24) 129 BPM
Review: Formula Records, the London label run by Champion and home to the likes of Mele, Flava D, Hybrid Theory and more, expand operations with the arrival of the F2 sublabel dedicated to breaking emergent talent. The honour of the debut F2 release falls on PVC, previously spotted excelling on Formula's f=BASS²' compilation. The Brighton talent sets the bar high with two bonafide dancefloor cuts that really showcase his talent for crisp, intricate drum programming and razor sharp basslines. The latter is naturally a prominent feature of "Give Me Bass", augmented by some swinging 2-step rhythms redolent of vintage UKG. Complementing this, "Underground" has shades of prime Mickey Finn to its usage of vocal samples and is a deliciously darker production.
