Review: The kind of EP you wouldn't want meet down a dark alley at night, this also marks Mokujin's first release for someone other than Blaq (maybe they were too scared?). Anyway, it's their loss as we get four tracks of menacing post-dubstep - "Confessions" features stunningly haunting synths welded to a UKF frame, "I Can't Take It" is the sound of distorted discord, aka serial killer garage, "Oh Baby" is 2-step with issues and "What The" gets all heavy on the wobble. Killer stuff.

Review: Tinkering with genres like a crazy gene scientist, Blaq bossman Mokujin returns to L2S with three chop-slapping strutters. "Dare" oozes subtlety as jazzy chords and an insistent vocal snippet work together to create a groove and hook that nags relentlessly. "A Lickle Sumtin'" takes us deeper into jacking territory with a bigger vocal cut and a slap-happy drive that wouldn't go amiss in a Derrick Carter set. Need even more of a punch? Jump on his 'techno garage' version of "Dare". With its buried-but-beefy kicks and dense atmosphere there's a strong whiff of Underground Resistance to this, exploiting every shard of ice from those minor keys.

Review: Didz steps up with the "Rum 4 Cover EP" on L2S Recordings. Kicking off with "Somewhere Out There" it's all choppy, distorted female vocal, euphoric rave chords and shimmying percussion for the main part. Don't rest on your laurels though as Didz switches things up in "Special Ting", up next, which builds from a sultry, subdued intro into a disorientating main part with muffled vocal and hissing hi hats. "G Party" changes the pace and changes the style once again with a tense, bleepy intro it becomes a slick, R&B-influenced venture, before "You Don't Hear Me" brings the EP to a close with a more stripped back finale.

Review: Dutch producer Milez makes his debut on Whista's future-garage haven, L2S, with this hot double-tracker. "Perfectly Still" is crystalline and floaty, with silky strings and surging pads met nicely by thick subs stabs and crisp percussion, while "Squarely" leads the listener on a aquatic braindance via sub deep drones and urgent hats.

Review: Having just celebrated their 100th release, L2S have now secured four of the most sought after tunes by this sizzling Birmingham bass producer as the follow-up! Tuff Culture's music is bursting with an ambition not usually heard in a scene largely focused on bangers. "Can't Stop" blends fuzzy electro keyboards with Y2K 2-step beats and angelic female vocals, "Voices Of Neptune" features almost choral vocals over a slick MJ Cole-style future garage backing, "Voices Of Saturn" (we think there's a theme here), is dirtier, bassier stuff and "Voices Of Mercury" wraps things up with widescreen orchestration and melancholic breaks. Essential.

Review: Brussels may not be the first place that springs to mind when one thinks of dubstep. Bunzero is all about putting that right though, and after 15 years in the game, he assuredly lays claim to being one of the biggest dubstep DJs outside of the UK. All that said, his new EP isn't strictly dubstep, it's a broader sound that often bridges the gap between Metalheadz-era jungle and future bass. First up, "Wet" has broken beats aplenty along with buzzy bass and trippy pads, while "Wool" is slower and features half-step beats and wavering synth melodies. Janner remixes the latter, and frankly it's a belter - keeping the synth pads top-line, he adds the deepest, throbbing bass notes and melancholic melodies, really sealing the deal on this quality EP.

Review: One thing's for sure, Whistla is not one to mess about. Going straight in with the bold statement "On Drugs", the artificial beats and computerized voice immediately create a heightened sense of existence, with bleepy SFX and repetitive rhythms and disorientating atmospheric sweeps. There's an immense remix package to accompany from the likes of Enigma Dubz, Kanji Kinetic, Bojcot Selectah, Totte, Itchy Robot, Rude Boi Brand, Impact and Smerk which each give their own individual twist on the original. And trust - it's well worth listening to them all.

Review: It's fair to say that Swedish producer Totte is not one for the dark side of bass music. This is no bad thing at all though, as "Nothing Can Keep Me" is a wonderful-produced slice of prime-time, party-orientated dance pop with skippy garage beats, full, tough bottom end, bright neon synths and even some guitar power chords cleverly woven into the beats. "Late Night" is clubbier, but with its slick, soulful vocals and dreamy, soothing pads, this guy is still clearly all about fun music that doesn't stray too deep into dodgy EDM waters.

Review: Although this is technically future garage, "This Love" is what one might call Clapham house. The L2S bossman Whistla has really nailed the positive, jazzy and soulful good times vibe that has always defined the kind of dance music popular in West London. Conversely on "Future Jammin" the production is less traditional with staccato beats, trippy and repetitive organ riffs and a recurring wide-boy vocal sample that's add some appreciated edge to proceedings. Classy stuff!

Review: Of himself, Bryan Vance Hollinger aka Mr Beeb, says this: "I put weird pads on things and cut up vox". We're assuming he's talking about making music here, and speaking of which, "Sip" is a classy slice of unadulterated UKF - all urgent 2-step beats and a laconic drawl. For those of you who like their tunes with a more exclusive sheen, then step beyond the velvet rope for Beeb's own VIP mix that's as smooth and tropical as the tumbler of rum on this single's cover!

Review: Runcorn's very own 'shellsuit samurai', LOJT, is back to deal another sweeping death blow (or in layman's terms, he's got a new record out). "It's A Future Thing" is a searing journey to, well maybe not quite where no man has gone before, but certainly the outer reaches of musical space. It's a place where perky 4 x 4 beats thrust along with watery synth clouds gliding by and distant klaxons herald party time in vague galaxies. Lots of remixes too, the best of which include Mr Beebs killer 2step mix and LOJT own original version.

Review: It's been a while since his last release, Ways Of The Underground, which came out on L2S way back in February. Now with this new two tracker the wait is over and even a cursory listen to "Who You With?" will reveal that this guy means business. The title track is an urgent slice of future garage that's literally bristling with a thrilling menace. "Go Hmm" on the other hand is a choppy offering of the uplifting garage house variety. It's all quality not quantity with this guy.

Review: Self proclaimed founder of future garage, Whistla steps up for the 27th release on his own L2S imprint with the When Eyes Meet EP. A stuttering and tinny percussive groove is immersed in soft chords and deep bass stabs on "Never Again" which is punctuated by some exceptional chopped female harmonies. "London Love Story" is a neat example of the future garage style as abrasive metallic rhythms are deluged by an assault of synth stabs, overlapping vocal samples and grimey 8 bit basslines with psychedelic results. Grimey string samples abound on the rugged sounding "No One" and the EP closes on the future retro sound of "No Treasure" where old skool garage synths meet a fresh steppy riddim.

Review: Newcomer producer Troy Gunner joins the L2S camp with a pack of future garage strapped firmly to his back. Inside is a whole heap of serious sub bass pressure, soothing synths and pared down beats. First up, "No More Tears" chops up sinuous beats with a lilting vocal and velvety b-line; "Sworn I'll Forget" meanwhile adds a more sonorous, chiming element with Joy Orbison syle patina. "Association" takes us on a mellifluous trip down 4/4 lane, with clicking beats and bleeps and a minimal sonic palette before moody "It's Not You" concludes the EP.

Review: Famed as a DJ on UK's Sub FM and all over Europe's bass-loving clubs, Belgian star BunZer0 makes his debut on L2S with this three-track EP, exclusive to Juno Download. Very much in keeping with the house style, "Bring Me Home" (featuring Juakali on vocals) is a mix of eerie, echoed textures and whip-smart future garage beats, while "Toof Toof" carries on the momentum, almost serving as a dub of "Bring Me Home". The orchestral, bass-busting march of the impeccably funky "Dub It" is also here and is a must for fans of shimmering yet gritty forward-thinking bass music

Review: The L2S juggernaut rolls on, destroying UK garage's more sanguine exponents with its dancefloor focused canons of justice and scattergun basslines of truth. This time round, the man at the wheel is Jup1ter, who delivers a wonderfully varied collection of cuts that should see heavy club rotation. There are four varied slabs of UK funky/UKG action on offer, each ticking a different box - presumably with a fat marker and a cheeky grin. There's some deep two-step vibes in the shape of "Open Your Eyes", a snappy breakbeat piano-jam ("Alien Warhead"), a two-finger rave salute ("This 1"), and even a proper ruffneck rinse-out ("Asteroid").

Review: Respected as a home for future-garage stars of, well, the future, L2S score a coup by dropping this first EP from Ollie MacFarlane. Title tune "Montpelier" starts off on a calm, slightly spooked vibe, but quickly drops a sharp beat of thick kicks and claps that anchor the floating vocal samples and chords just right. "Home" is strictly on the dubby side though, with some wonderfully intimate vocal lines creeping into the mix, as well as mighty, tear-stained chords that make this a truly moving tune. Kdns also drops a mix of "Montpellier" that serves as a wonderfully radical departure - with a slowed-down beat and some Aphex-styled leads over an almost hypnotic drone that runs throughout. Stirring stuff from a highly impressive EP.

Review: A prolific home for upcoming garage-tech producers, the L2S label have once again come up trumps with latest signing Pledge. The London producer delivers sheer gold on title tune "Unknown" - a dream-like fusion of chiming arpeggios, sine bleeps and crisp beats. MileZ also gets the chance to remix "Unknown", and builds on it by making the beats a little more upfront and slowly releasing the incredible torrent of synths, making it a real builder. Pledge's "Close To U" is also included on the release and takes a darker and more subtle approach, using droning synths and a huge filter drop to create a mean and moody future garage gem.

Review: Debuting on the always-vital L2S label, Perth's DYP keeps the beats as crisp as hell over these four modern garage beauties. Title tune "Every Day" is simply stunning, with a looped vocal hook that's truly anthemic and a minimal synth rattling away nicely in the background, while "All You Need" is a tight, sub-sporting melange of disjointed drum hits that DYP melts together thrillingly. With the grimey "Vocall" and the dreamy "Desire" also included, this is a hot debut for DYP.

Review: Whistla's garage-championing L2S label plays host to this excellent debut from UK producer Viers, who simply smashes it on single "Night". With a radical rearrangement of the oft-sampled "Think" break providing a deeply funky and snappy flex to the beats, Viers lends it a spooked echo vocal loop and long-attack Juno chords, not to mention a subtle dose of rounded sub bass to form this future-looking 2-stepper. Fellow Brit Duncan Powell drops the remix on this one - keeping the same misty vibes but instead rocking an incredibly tight UKF-tech beat for the win.

Review: Back on L2S for his second EP, Sorrow goes on an all-out garage assault with these four new tunes, aimed somewhere between Todd Edwards, Burial and Rooflight. The beautiful swirling textures of "Reminiscence", the ambient 2-step jack of "False Sunrise" and the loose and floating samples that flow in and out of "Darth Sharenghis Parkrace" strongly mark Sorrow out as a producer with a fondness both for future garage beats but also deep and dubby arrangements that are utterly irresistible.

Review: This new split single from excellent future-garage label L2S sees grime pioneers Macabre Unit go up against fellow UK producer Rowl, with doubly devastating results. Macabre Unit's "Clockwork" is simply brilliant - a stripped down burner with a crisp, Blawan-esque 2-step drum pattern, deep basslines and a slowly rising four-chord pad sound, all mixed together with huge amounts of tension. Rowl goes for a more murky sound with "Think About You" - a complex and deep banger with a worming bassline thread through dubby atmospheres and crackling drums.

Review: After getting a huge response via Whistla's show on Sub FM, L2S finally drop these two future-garage nuggets from London producer DLVRY. "These Words" alone is worth the excitement - a madcap series of twisted arpeggios that usher in a fierce 2-step rhythm and some punchy walls of bass. "Downtown" Is more of a twisted, sci-fi beast that settles into a breaks-like melody whilst still sporting some incredibly tough 2-step kicks and snares.

Review: Long Island in New York isn't exactly the first place you think of when you listen to Blind Prophet's latest release Skeleton Key - the tight rolling 2-step and deadly bass lurking underneath the title track, lost in a haze of smoky synths, sounds like something to come out of London's garage scene ten years ago. However, both this and "Got Me Thinking", rich in shimmering electronic melody bring to mind fellow city-dwellers FaltyDL and Policy. Remix support comes from Unknown, who turns in a growling dubstep refix of "Skeleton Key", maintaining the loose rhythms of the original while beefing it up with some fat low end, and HGLDT, whose remix of "Got Me Thinking" contains rhythms so free-flowing it recalls a jazz improvisation at times, with a kosmische synth backdrop that highlights the dreamy quality of the fine original.

Review: While consistently being a haven for upcoming future garage producers, L2S hadn't actually dropped any new material from head honcho Whistla. Step forward these brand spanking new tracks from the Sub FM man: firstly "Knosis", a dark and twisted bass fantasy complete with hyped old school drums and trippy mangled vocals layered over epic strings, and, secondly, "Coconut Udder" which is simply brilliant. A simple yet jacking dry beat with some chopped and soulful guitar stabs and more blurry acapella work sets it off perfectly. Great to hear Whistla on such effortlessly funky form.
