Straight Up Jungle: Volume 3EXCLUSIVE
Review: Pow! Digging deeeeep into the foundations, Conrad Subs strips back his sound to the bare essentials and goes loco on this third volume of his 'Straight Up Jungle' series. Some cuts are all about that subtle warm bubbly vibe ('Revisit The Sound') while others you can imagine Brockie rinsing out at the Roller Express back in 1994 ('Outstanding') Elsewhere cuts like 'Roast' and 'Phone Line Crew' goes for the high end subby trill on the bass that always bring out the goosebumps (and sound so good when you're cutting them in the mix) Looking for something a little harder and bashier? Head straight for the finale 'Down Representin'. Straight up fire!

Review: Flat T and Pharoah team up for 'New Class Ain't A Thing' on Koba Audio, bringing a refreshing energy and innovation to the label. The pair provide us with some seriously smooth techniques and arrangement ideas across this marvellous two track display, opening up with the warming guitar riffs and smoothened sub taps of 'New Class', a groovy introduction indeed. Following on from this, the pace of the party increases somewhat as 'Ain't A Thing' takes a more intense approach, initiating jungle-infused breaks drums and sliding synths across the background to see out this awesome two tracker in style.

Review: Conrad Subs invites Classifyed over to Koba Audio HQ for some slaps and he comes back with two savage left hooks. 'Big Bass Slapper' rasps and wheezes away with diesel like bass fumes and a nagging MC vocal sample. 'The Way We Ride' follows suit but with less vocal focus and saw-like bassline that hits like its 2004 all over again. Slap or get slapped!

Review: The one and only Conrad Subs continues to maintain his reputation as one of prolific contemporary junglists with a brand new album! Positively entitled 'More Than Just A Little Bit Better' and 10 tracks heavy, it's a treat for all senses with highlights flying off left, right and centre. Big moments include the very mixable and super-cheeky 'OK Roller', the undiluted bubbles and funk of 'Right About Now', the raw forthright fire of 'Truffle Shuffle' and the super swinging vibe of the finale 'King Of Style'. Better get on this!

Review: Hot on the heels of his Dread EP, Conrad Subs returns to his own Koba Audio imprint with five killer new originals. 'Leff Dem Dead' takes the lead as Subs links up with Natty Campbell for a big sing-along vocal cut that will go down well outdoors this summer. Flexing the full range, Conrad leaves no sonic stone unturned as the EP progresses; 'Derelict' is a heads-down grizzler, 'The Code' is more of a cheeky zippy number, 'Smash N Grab' takes things to the dancefloor with much heavier intention while 'Earthbound' (our personal fave on this EP) goes all sci-fi and steppy. Complete with an instrumental of 'Leff Dem Dead' for all your creative mixing needs, Conrad's kicked this out of the park.

Review: Conrad Subs' Koba Audio has been an exciting source of contemporary jungle throughout 2023 and this final release of the year is certainly no exception as Conrad invites Yung Flatty to the fold with these two super crisp cuts. Ironically for a name like Flat T, these are hyper pumped as both 'Got The Feeling' and 'This Way' slap and tickle with pure venom and mischief. The former goes for the feels with a classic housey style vocal sample and a drop that booms hard enough to wake animals from their winter hibernations while the latter goes a little more old school in its charm offensive. Both crush it.

Review: Blimey Conrad Subs is on a mission this year. It's been non-stop roll-outs, rinse-out and slap-abouts throughout the year. Especially on his own label Koba Audio. Here's a great example. Following massive dispatches such as 'History Lesson' and 'Horizon Leans Forward' comes the second collection of 'Straight Up Jungle' work-outs. Big subby foundations, wild breakbeat funk, authentic grooves from the start to finish, highlights include the early Bristol-style bubbles of 'Rep', the super sweet funk and surprise drum fills of 'Like Honey' and the squiggly finale 'Over Sub'. Think Full Cycle and you're in the right ravey velodrome.

Review: The unstoppable Conrad Subs presents his second LP and it's a powerful collection that celebrates the timeless art of the album. Deep, dynamic and full of big surprises, it's his most consistent and hard hitting release so far. Opening with the epic emotions of 'Dream Sequence', he hurls us down a cinematic breakbeat rabbit hole, taking us along a whole range of vibes and styles that flex from the stunning Klute-like emotional hurricane 'Answers' to the Sub Focus-like dancefloor sweeper 'Helter Skelter'. Other highlights include the piano-tickling lament-fuelled 'No Matter', the techno influenced 'Temper' and the high voltage urgency of 'Ultraviolent'. An exceptional body of work.

Review: Grab your mum's suede jacket. Grab your dad's leather jacket. Cut egg-shaped pieces from your dad's leather and stick them on the elbows of your mum's suede. Wear that badboy. Now you are a teacher and head of education Conrad Subs has mapped out your lesson plan. It starts with the blissful pianos and unified feels of 'History Lesson'. Hefty enough to carry you through your GSCEs, further items on the curriculum include Bristol / Dope Dragon history on 'Blowin' Up', the science of quantum travel with 'Better Late Than Never', Greek philosophy with the Aphrodite style bubbler 'Move It Bust It' before ending the day with a big old detention with the super naughty 'Baddest DJ'. Quiet in class please!

Review: Always prolific yet always fresh; Conrad Subs builds up his own Koba Audio weapon cabinet with two more high grade bruisers. 'One Touch' is Conrad in full Valentines mode. All romantic and soulful, this will come into its own as the warmer months eventually kick in. 'Dragon' meanwhile is the complete opposite... Dark, dramatic tension with unrelenting snare rolls, it's as dark as Conrad has ever gone before and hits with a Benny L edge. A truly deadly two-tracker, this is broadsword sound of a next level Subby right here.

Review: Super prolific bass merchant Damageman jumps aboard Conrad Subs' Koba Audio with two white knuckle tear-ups. Both rooted with a certain old school 90s/early 2000s stripped-back but beefed-up dnb charm, 'Reality Control' hits like a sledgehammer rattling away with a Formation Records-style vibe and heavy sci-fi undertones while 'Remarkable Weaponry' bumps and swaggers like a classic Ram joint. Think Moving Fusion but with the grunt and shunt of a Shimon tune. Damageman is onto something here.

Review: Coming up next on Conrad Subs new label Koba Audio is the rising Northern powerhouse talent Grimesy. Following releases this year on the mighty Formation and the brand new Faces Of Jungle, he comes charging into our selections with these two utter hellraisers: 'Birdie' and 'Bad Man Sound'. The former takes a little touch of tech to deliver its strong-armed message while the latter is an all-out reese-laden tear-up. Both can absolutely tear up any dance in a 50 mile radius. Pay attention.

Review: Conrad Subs chows down hard this month with a brand new label Koba and it starts right here with 'Swayze'. Taking a leaf out of the Sub Focus book of production, it's an all-out dancefloor melter with a big stomp factor coded into the groove. For balance and a cool sense of contrast, he's also included a VIP of previous walloper 'Dance' where the jungle vibes play the lead role. Powerful stuff; no one puts Conrad Subs in a corner. Roadhouse!
