London-based Natty Dub Recordings was launched in 2012 by Cabin Fever UK in order to provide an outlet for their own style of jungle/drum and bass. Cabin Fever UK is made up of DJ and producer Malachai and vocalist Regina (Voltage was a former member). The label continues to shape its deep, sometimes minimal, jungly, bass-rich sound with releases from artists including: T>I, Bladerunner, DJ Hybrid, Saxxon, Aries, Jaydan, Jam Thieves, Jaxx, Voltage and the Cabin Fever UK crew themselves.
Review: Two legends go toe-to-toe in the studio right here on Natty Dub: new Bristol resident K Jah and Brizzle native (and stone cold west country pioneer) Suv on 'Bubble Soap' and 'Lavish'. Both men renowned for their love of the craft, these cut don't disappoint; the former is a real pavement pounder of a track with its steamroller kicks and flabby funk while the latter takes us on dreamy sway with pure Bristol class. Something for all heads. This is a powerful release.
Review: US representing! Serjah9 makes his debut on Natty Dub with four total and utter tear-ups. 'Pay Up' cuts through the BS like a chainsaw. Sizzling with high frequency tension, this will cut down your entire unit in seconds. Elsewhere 'Every Where I Go' is the highlight of the set with its hip-hop sample and rampant bass worm lead while 'Cool Breeze Bass' flips between island bliss and street-bound grit. Last but not least 'Signals' brings XXXL drama to the EP with its guttural bassline classic sci-fi samples. Cool and deadly.
Review: Bristol bubblers aplenty! Jaxx returns to Natty Dub with four more of his finest bumpers and bruisers. All stripped back to the bare beats and bass, each cut comes with its own cheeky groove and character. 'Patterns' takes the lead and sets the scene with its molten bass and rolling drums, elsewhere 'Love Over War' ups the energy with big splashy Zinc-style breaks and trippy bleeps, 'Sycamore' hits with that classic Full Cycle style jazz and some superb bassline wobbles while 'Stuck In A Rut' closes the EP with a rasping gritty edge that's reminiscent of a young Mampi Swift. Woi to the oi.
