Review: CDBL appears on Hot N Heavy for the first time after rising through the ranks of other labels Sounds Of Sumo and Orlinzo. Here CDBL delivers two killer cuts of club music for the peak time while keeping the euphoria to a minimum. This is best heard in "Watch Out" which sounds like a club-ready 2014 remake of Mr Oizo's "Flat Eric" while the title track fuses catchy hooks with groovy drums and liquid basslines with a hint of acid. It also comes with four remixes - two of each track - with Mark Starr's version of "Come On" getting slow and dirty while Hybu's effort works the bass and adds a synth that sounds like it's impersonating a falling star. Pasteman collaborator Tanka adds vocals to his mix percussive remix, while Commodore 64 injects the EP with some refreshing techno.

Review: San Francisco's Hot n Heavy Recordings mark their third birthday with a new action packed compilation, released on the symbolic date of 12/12/12. Featuring 14 fresh cuts spanning future bass, deep house and leftfield garage. Highlights include the tropical melancholia of Laney's "You Need To", the menacing minimal vibes of "Hairdresser" by Allmostt, the sparse, abstract garage of HxDB's "Spectator" and the slammin' raw, retro house of "Darlin" by D3adl1ne.

Review: Mako is the latest name to arrive on the Hot N Heavy imprint, bringing his own brand of intricate bass music. The sparse title track focuses in on weighty 2-step kicks, wrapping all manner of subtle melodic riffs and vocals around its complex percussion. "Hurt Me" is more explicitly UFK, rolling forward on a rhythmic flex of funky snares, reverb heavy vocals and filtered synths, while "Good FiRday" shows the producer to have a knack for crafting boogie infused hip-hop beats, combining neon saturated 8-bit melodies with weighty organic beatwork. A hefty remix package is also offered; Almostt turns Tropicality" into a moodier, snappier cut, "Shouts" swathes the track in rippling dub effects while, Huffaker Park transforms "Hurt Me" into a precise piece of swung 4/4 house.

Review: Lunova Labs is an electronic producer hailing from the unusual base of Nashville, Kentucky. Describing his sound as future garage and inspired equally by Debussy, Aphex Twin and Philip Glass, he finally releases this two-track follow up to recent EP Pneuma. "Burden" is a simple affair with a tropical xylophone motif gently lilting over sparse beats. Three further mixes of the track feature here: Kyson Market Stall take the song in a trippy slow motion soul direction, while Commodore 69 and Azedia both concentrate on toughening up the tropical beats and bass. Second track "Holding On" again has a minimal arrangement, but is augmented by soaring soundscapes and a fragile piano melody. Fedbymachines deliver a killer Burial-style doom mix, Admin delivers a laid-back house interpretation, but it's EPLP's standout garage-tinged mix that will fill the dancefloors.

Review: Combining broken garage beats, powerful basslines and some heavy textures, UK producer D3adl1ne's "Wait For You" boasts three dubby killers - the deeply-atmospheric title tune, the meditative half-stepper "Still Believing" and the more house-shaped chilled tech of "Baby Got Beef".

Review: Second time around for Mak and Pasteman's "Playboy", this time in glistening "VIP" form, backed by a string of new remixes. For those who enjoy their garage to flicker between fizzling haf-step and bombastic tropical rhythms, "Playboy VIP" should be essential. Remix wise, choose between the cut-up wobble of Udachi's remix, the breakdowns-and-dubstep-on-speed flex of the Clicks & Whistles version, and the snappy bounce of the Subio remix. There are also three new reworks of "Jungle Juice". Of these, it's the fairground two-step and call-and-response madness of the Palle Remix that most impresses, though there's something deliciously raw about Mike G's heavy rework.

Review: Delightfully smooth vibes can be found in abundance as Gullfisk marks his entrance into the bass world with his first full artist EP. With slippery synth pads and neatly diced vocal cuts running throughout, this will win you friends on the dancefloor and your home stereo. The title track is especially beautiful with its subtle kicks and trickling hi-hats playing careful cameos as the vocal and groove do all the talking. The two-step powered "Green Waters" is slightly more dancefloor inclined but equally deep and enchanting. Meanwhile "Explore" lives up to its name and explores the wonderfully retrospective world of synth sounds to such an expert level it almost sounds like an Orbital track. With remixes from EPLP, Commodore 69 and D3adl1ne, this really is quite the package.

Review: A UK producer who's showing huge potential with his house/UKF hybrids right now, Corporal F's latest for Hot N Heavy lends bass music some crafty touches. There's the brilliantly oddball sampling on the house gem "I Like You", some funky garage-flecked 808 funk on "Give It All" and a proper carnival smasher in the shape of "Heat Up". Add to that the heavy tribal grind of "Jungle" and this makes for a hot release.

Review: A bass-loving UK duo who are able to bust out quality bangers across a wide-range of genres, Mak & Pasteman turn in two stand-outs on this new Hot N Heavy release. "Playboy" is a pepped-up half-stepper with a glitched out bassline, a sea of astral arpeggios and a Machinedrum-esque use of R&B acapellas that fire over the track in a head-spinning array of pitches. "Jungle Juice" on the other hand rocks a UKF beat with nasty grime bass and an excellent, DJ Mujava-esque lead sound thrown in.
