Natty Dub Recordings
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.

Review: Once again, we see the awesome sounds of Natty Dub Recordings return, this time delivering a pulverising display of original D&B flavour, welcoming the lethal sounds of Serial Killaz inside for a truly tasty remix. The original sounds of DJ Hybrid are on display, as we hear his heavyweight roller 'Back In The Day' receive that classic Serial Killaz overhaul, reworking the track into an even more gritty roller, with a strong focus on gnarly synthesiser growls, eerie backing melodies and of course a combination of hard hitting drum thuds. It's a killer rework that is certain to cause a large amount of damage in the dances.

Review: Longstanding US drum & bass operative Hoogs comes charging into the Natty Dub HQ with a steamroller made entirely of wobbling low frequencies. 'Falling Away' hits first with its bellowing tubular bassline and full charge beats while 'Mechanical Gears' goes all-out on the swaggering groove, the XXXL reverse warps and that classic early 2000s Bristol style groove. Both absolutely flatten the joint.

Review: Word to the wise, pay attention: Coda is sitting on some of the best and most forward-thinking material he's made in his prolific career so far. It starts here with this wild barrel of Natty Dub funk - 'Mister Beat'. From the cover art to the very last burping bass, everything about this EP bumps... 'Mister Beat' hits with classic jump-up funk, 'Satellite 2001' is a lesson in minimal groove craft while 'Last Chance' has a turn-of-the-century Ram records charm to it. Finally 'B-Side Funk' is a proper rusty rattler that nods rather heartily in the direction of Krust circa late 90s. Don't miss this.

Conrad Subs kickstarts the EP with a little Latin heat on the ludicrously funky 'Salsa Dip' while Saxxon goes monster with his deep dark slammer 'Neptune'.

A sublime selection across the board from some of their nearest and dearest, vibes range from the depth plunge tension and creepiness of Dub General's 'No More' to the soulful vocal charms of Scurrow's 'Go Now'. All styles and shapes and sizes in between: Dunk & Jaxx go dubby and slinky on 'Amazon River', Simple Simon gets his jazz on with 'Bounce Rate' while Vytol does the damage on 'Get Cute'.

Pristine drum production and some excellent gritty funk in the bassline department, each cut will cause havoc but special persies here for the Juno Download family are the futuristic bassline and textures of 'Give It To You', the Ram-like feels of 'Take A Hit' and the deep space finale session 'Like This'.

Review: Putting the bang into bangers and the hurter into hurters, Natty Dub wrap up 2021 with this box of heavyweight weaponry from some of their closest family members and affiliates. Coda takes the lead with a stampy, stompy heads-down piece with a stern reverse warp bassline and thicc-assed kicks. He's joined by an all-star cast: K Jah & Vytol link up for 'Another Tomorrow', a pipe-snapping stepper with big harmonic bass breathing beneath, Erbman gets all roughhouse with his early Clipz style bass textures, Jaxx calls time with his swaggering 'Tickin Clocks' while Damagement concludes the EP with the focused fire and fury of 'Odds & Sods'. Ready? Aim.... Fire!

Review: You've tasted Turkish Delight and Angel's Delight, now chow down on these sweet beats... Midlands veteran K Jah explores his dancefloor roots on 'Ravers Delight', a killer debut album on Natty Dub. Cashing in over 20 years as a raver (a good 10+ years of which he's also been a producer) K Jah rattles and slaps his way through timeless jungle dnb work-outs. Highlights include the percussive Skeptical meets Hazard tear-up vibes of 'Ominous', the stripped-back bounce and hoover stabs of the title track 'Ravers Delight', the jazzy feels and sudden operatic flare of 'Aria' and the old school Playaz / Zinc bumps and bounces of 'Different Things'. With a strong 90s / Bristol / hip-hop vibe running throughout, there's a consistency here that you don't always hear on an artist debut. The long game always pays off. Big up K Jah.

Review: Established in 2012, Natty Dub Recordings is a digital jungle/drum & bass label based out of Essex, UK. Following up some great releases by the likes of Erbman and Jaxx, we have a new one on the label here this week by kC & MC Astro who surfaced last year on French label Weapons Of Choice Recordings. They are in fine form on this three tracker, which features the party rockin' jump-up energy of "Rock The Sound" featuring Astro's cool-as-a-cucumber vocal delivery, the wonky steppa that is "Moon Patrol" and slamming it out with all they've got on the wicked "Driving Fast" calling to mind the best of DJ Marky or Bingo Beats.

Review: Erbman has developed a reputation for tough, urban-edged sonics over many years of cultivation and curation, over years of doing his bit for a scene and over years of pumping out very, very good music. He's diverse in his capabilities and this EP sees him nailing once more his jump up-ier side, something we're definitely very keen on, especially when it's on a label like Natty Dub. This release is wicked and 'Fat Bud Stack' is a highlight, with a snapping percussive line forming around its inching, creeping basses and eerie background ambience. We also love the funky basslines in 'Pontiac Funk' and 'City Flow', two tracks that are designed to make you move. Top stuff right here.

Review: Jaxx is rolling out the old school vibes here, harking back to the Bristol jump up glory days with its oozing, heavy-set basslines and crunchy, vibrant drums. It's a two-track single on the always present Natty Dub Recordings, and it's the flip, 'Machu Picchu', that really shines. With a percussive line that will live rent free in your head for some time to come and a simple yet shocking good bassline, this is a genuine party track that would sound equally at home at a free party as it would a Metalheadz rave. Big ups.

Review: Natty Dub Recordings always deliver tough, urban-edged sounds that don't prance around or act fancy, they just get down and dirty. K Jah has delivered exactly that here, with a two-track single of moody tones and no-nonsense drum lines. 'Life Support feat.Vytol' is a perfect example of said drums, with impossibly clean hits and a clear sense of space and progression, its bass stabs are almost shadowed out. 'Ominous' is the most futuristic, with a deep back end and seriously cool synth spasms that lend it a techier feel than the other cuts on the EP but one which is still grounded in roughness. Another unreal piece of work.

Review: Coda crash lands on Natty Dub with two naughty barn-stormers. Taking things back to basics, there's a premium whiff of timelessness here on both cuts as Code reminds us of his groove science. 'Smoked Out' rumbles and grumbles with an old Die style bubbler bassline while the beats pump and pummel relentlessly. 'Jabberwocky' is the more upbeat and lively with a Serum-style Q&A riff rising and falling up the groove. Infectious.

Review: K Jah kicks the doors of 2021 down with the launch of debut album Ravers Delight. This is the first sampler and it sets the scene perfectly. 'In Love' takes a classic vocal snippet and wraps it up all sassy and sweet around a harmonic bassline that nods respectfully towards the likes of Sir Clipz and Professor Serum. 'Status Concrete' digs deeper into a dark, moodier sound. Tension in those big drone basslines and full command from Natty D's vocal, it's very clear K Jah's door kicking is going to continue for some time to come. Delightful.

Review: Natty Dub never fail to rouse us out of our stupor, no matter how bleak things look outside. This two-track tear-up from Vytol is of course no exception. 'Sell Out' is a stern slab of rollage with a Heavyweight-style bassline that grunts and growls its way through the mix with clarity and venom. 'Morph' meanwhile pays homage to every UK 80s/90s kids favourite plasticene hero with a little help from fellow Natty regular K-Jah. Pure bassline squelch business, this one is for all the artists out there. Harty on dudes.

Review: It's a Bristol thing! Two D&B professors from two different generations link-up once again for some two bubbly rub-ups. 'High Altitude' has that classic Full Cycle flavour throughout; massive happy-slapping breaks and a sub so wobbly it makes Andre The Giant look slim. 'The Message' follows on a much darker tip; imagine Lynx's 'Disco Dodo' but while marching through a think muddy swamp while being snapped at by crocodiles. The message is clear: Suv & Jaxx are certy badmen.

Review: KC & Regina are on Natty Dub for a single that sits comfortably on the intersection between lighter and darker bits, a nice concoction of influences that come together for wicked results. 'Street Lights' is fresh and creative, with a skippy, Serum-esque drum line and warped out synth nodes that climb and fall in tandem with each other, forming a hypnotic main melody. Mcleod steps in for the remix on the flip and takes things into darker territory with a stripped back arrangement, greater focus on the drums and an even nastier back end. Big.

Firing from all cannons, every track is a thumper; Saxxon gets his squelch on with "Brockley Fox", T>I is all screams, wriggles and giggles on "Pointless Torture", Sikka delivers one of his best tunes to date in the funk-fuelled form of "You Know", Suv and Mood give us a Bristol kiss with the slinky, hip-twisting "Mambo" and Jaxx nods his cap at the wild west of the mid 90s on the percussion heavy "Hurdles".

Review: Andezz has done the liquid rounds for quite a while now, having released previously on labels like V Recordings and Liquid V, and his style is always wispy but tough, with the melancholia of all good liquid but without the emptiness of some. Regina joins him to adds a vocal lick to his production and her voice sounds amazing on top of his rolling, piano-laden instrumental base, the track progresses nicely and it's a great example of how liquid producers can strip things back but keep things tight. Excellent single.

Review: Calling all ragamuffins and roustabouts; DJ Hybrid's 2016 Natty Dub banger gets the treatment from two bonafide roller dons. T>I steps up first with a serious murk of approval as the creepy intro, spoken sample and stripped back nature of the original are maintained but with added clunky drums on the fills and a gnarlier twist to the bass fills. Damageman also maintains the arpeggiated intro but then drops into a classic loose-limbed breakbeat before eventually building into a big juicy synth riff a la BBK circa 2005. Spot on.

Review: They don't call Trakker 'The Sweet Sweet Gully Attacker' for nothing. Actually they don't call him that at all... But trust us, they soon will when they get a slap around the chops from his Natty Dubs releases. Authentic dark rollage with strong jungle roots; just like his label debut last year - "Tunnel Vision" / "Blanks" - both these cuts hit home like a final notice bill. "Neighbour Snitch" is all waspy and ruthless, stabbing and weaving like 1999 V cut while "The Martian" takes us down a much spookier, bashier tip where tension is coded into big, broad element. Seriously sweet, gloriously gully. Trakker is on the attack.

Review: Hailing from Coventry, DJ Hybrid has firmly established himself over the last couple of years as someone at the forefront of D&B's re-discovered love for jungle-influences and bouncy but hard-hitting basslines. Drawing upon those influences, he's back on Natty Dub Recordings for a full-throated six-tracker that kicks off with title track 'Push The Dub', a gently weighted sine-based wobbler that pushes on every corner of the range. 'Back in the Day' and '808 Roller' have clear Kings of the Rollers vibes, with juddering bass pulses and that recognizable sense of hardware-based rawness. This release has overtones of Manchester and undertones of the South - proper UK underground stuff.

Review: This double-sided single from Suv & Jaxx is about as hellish as the dystopic and/or paranormal artwork would suggest. Comprised of devilish sampling, eerie soundscapes and sharp, jagged drum lines, this release hits the absolute spot. 'Spirit' is the steppy, broken cut of the two and after a spooky intro that could be likened to a haunted house, it drops out of nowhere into an impossibly clean arrangement of tight percussive hits and gargling bass pulses. 'Ready' is pacier and is packed with more momentum but isn't quite as dystopic, it's back end arrangements ooze heaviness but also a sense of upbeat enjoyment and pleasure: it's not blackish but still packs a punch. A quality single this and we're looking forward to seeing what follows from these two.

Four slabs of flabby bass fire, each cut hits you right in the loins, soul and solar plexus: "Blue Panda" wriggles with some beautifully loose Bingo style breaks, "Treacle" is as sludgy and bittersweet as its title suggests while "Serve Cold" aims north for the jugular with a crisp groaning slap that's not so much as cold but totally glacial. Finally "Blocks" wraps up T>I's first session of 2019 with a high voltage bassline, trippy textures and some drums so beautifully crafted you want them to kidnap you from reality forever.

"Tunnel Vision" is an uncompromised flashback to 99 and prime techstep feels: steppy, distorted and foreboding. "Blanks" is all clipped and buzzy. Swaggering on a wonked out tripletty swing, it's countered perfectly by a series of smoky horns and an overall trippy feel. Natty to the core.

"Power Surge" is a nod to the early 2000s Bristol and V Records sound. Stark, grunting, unabashed and insanely addictive.

Further into our mission "Park Hill" thrusts us through ozone with cheeky vox shots and another elastic molten bass riff, "Forbidden Fruit" brings us down to land on the lunar surface with trippy shards of jazz wrapped around robust percussion-primed breaks while the grumbling basses of "Moving Mountains" bound us around the craters in a moonbuggy stuck in top gear. Finally we take off for home with "Where The Root Is". The journey will be turbulent but the soaring harmonies and cosmic skanks will soothe your intergalactic-travelled ruffled soul.

Loose, swinging breaks, juicy subs, stacks of room and space between the elements; these are the ingredients at play here as Jaxx and Dub General get busy. "Out Your Head" has a Shimon-style gutter kicking roughness to the vibe as the bassline scuffs further and further into the ground while "Yes I" is a little direct with brighter drums and more of Serum-style buzz to the bass textures. Both tailored for deep mix pleasure, you can file these under timeless.

The addition of the strings and piano chords give this a very real vibe of musicality. 'You Have To Wait' see tribal drum and soulful vocal dance across a floor of dampened modern jungle and waves of atmospherics. 'Temple Drumz' see the deep warm bassline take centre stage of the track, what you might not expect is the 70's Kung Fu film style narration and pan flutes.

Review: If you know T>I's productions then you won't need to read this, you'll already be on them. The man has saint-like status among the very top best roller and riff selectors such as Andy C and Serum. It's because of tracks like these. Each cut hits hard, rattles with funk and is clearly made for the mix. Both "Permanent Marker" and "Absence" really fix our focus on his deeper rolling side, "Don't Stop" switches up a well known break with an understated groaning bass whip, "Rolling With The Nines" takes us on mystical trip, Thresh Hold is freaky creeper with ghostly pianos and strange otherworldly basses while "Move On" closes on a superbly restrained soul stepper that opens out into some beautiful synth strokes midway. This couldn't be more on-point if T>I opened up a knife sharpening franchise.

Review: Cabin Fever alumni and longstanding vocal legend Regina builds up to her debut solo album later this year with two crucial, hard-nosed collaborations with two of the most respected men in underground drum & bass. "Killa" sees her hooking up with T>I for a fuzzy rolling vibe that's slung so low the bassline scuffs its knuckles in the gutter. "Secrets" sees her teaming up with PA on a techy workout that sits somewhere between Enei and Teebee. Comparisons don't get much better in this field. Bring on the album.

Review: Fast becoming one of Natty Dub's finest success stories, Jaxx returns with a job lot of sweet sweet rolling gully. There's a sexy simplicity and minimal sense of mischief throughout; "Don't Push It" purrs, "Herbs" twangs, "Take A Walk" groans while "Search Party" jitters and teases. Lean, to-the-point and straight-up funky, this is what properly classically trained drum & bass is all about. Welcome to the asylum.

Review: Trustworthy source of killer jumpy jungle for some time now, Ruffneck Ting affiliate K Jah is jamming out some crucial vibers on Natty Dub right here. Not just a clever pun in the title, "All Rhodes Lead Here" flips between a heavenly Rhodes hook and a straight-to-business Serum-style waspy bass groove. "Destination" comes from the Warhead school of thought with its shifting bass sweep and insistent and distinctive percussion, "Heavy Hitter" has an A-Sides-style bounce and funk to it while "Get Out Of My Life" climaxes on an all-out badboy jungle brock-out. Serious business - join K Jah's on the rhode to victory.

Review: Fresh from a slew of slayers on their own InnaRhythm and SS's seminal Formation imprint, Yorkshire's finest Sweet N Sikka make their debut on Cabin Fever UK's ever-precise Natty Dub imprint. "Ridiculous" lives up to its name thanks to sharp horn stabs and a rising, croaking Dispatch-style bass presence while "Relative Pressure" hits with more of a subby swing that adopts a jungle-like flow when the claps come in. Insatiable.

Review: Raising tension and attention with every release right now, Natty Dub return with yet another BS-free collection from some of the underground's most respected individuals. T>I loosens the bass strings for his slinked out dark-jazz stepper "Regulate", Hoogs puts all the aces in their places with a precision space-reggae gully jam "R Ting", Coda goes all bubble-bass a la mid 90s V on "Back It Up" and Jaxx & Dub General roll out with pure grumble groove and classic jump up spoken samples. Finally Flat T brings business to a close with a deal-breaking late 90s Bristol-flavoured cut where the spooked-out bass has a life of its own. Immense.

Review: Half man, half machine (hence the name), Hybrid has been unstoppable this year. Tune after tune after tune for days and they've all been precision delivered with the dancefloor and heads in mind. Here we find him on mean debut label EP flex for Natty Congo and nothing is left to chance as all vibes are licked thoroughly; "Occupational Hazard" kicks with real classical Moving Fusion style late 90s power and some brilliantly tripped out cascading moans, "Lunar" kicks with a Rockwellian ghettotech pace while "Bad Man Culture" rolls with a mild jumpy wobble reminiscent of foundation Bristol. "Turn It Around" brings home the funk bacon with a vibe that's not dissimilar to Break. Seriously.

Review: Is a "Fat Cap" a generally large headpiece or a hat solely worn by fat folk? Serious question.... We'd ask Coda but he's too busy in his London laboratory cooking up concentrated jungle chaos to answer us. "Fat Cap" eases us in with a late 90s Die-style Bristol vibe, maybe with a wee dash of Kartoons in the funk. "Krusty Dub" whips up much more a frenzy with its nutty, not to mention relentless, amen chops and defiant, pinched bass punches. Absolute stench.

Review: Having established their co-lab strength with "If You Know" earlier this year, Full Cyclist Suv and Natty Dub's homegrown rising star Jaxx team up once again for two honest, timeless jams: "Input" reminds us of classic Bristol badness with a classic riff/bounce bassline and a shaker-sassed rolling break while "No Discrimination" takes us deep into the conscious dub flow with delicious mystic-sheened vocal, a humming Bladerunner-style bassline, shivering pianos and subtle melodic nuances. Beautiful.

Review: More VA manoeuvres from the perennial Natty camp. The label has recruited new names and they're all packing ammo. Label bosses Cabin Fever reboot with old sparring partner Saxxon for an electrified brock-out "Clubhopper" before four acts make their label debut: DJ Hybrid applies a skillishly simplistic and highly timeless bassline stepper, Version cooks up with rattling wasps-in-tin bassline and warped retro sci-fi tones, Sureshock looks to the stars through a pair of Klute's glasses and a soaring big system vocal, while Kenji twists up with a serious space jam.

Review: London label Natty Dub Recordings have become trusted torchbearers for all things junglist over the past three years or so of operation, and their latest offering is a fine example of just why. It sees two heavyweight collaborations, with Suv & Jaxx going toe to toe with Bigga Star and Spreda. Suv & Jaxx are first, riding a hefty line in drums and beats on "If You Know", with the junglist vibes and sampled vocals set deeper in the mix. "Aura" from Bigga Star and Spreda is all about that sub bass heft which will really light up any decent soundsystem.

Review: Having caused ruckuses galore on Ruffneck Ting, K Jah makes his Natty Dub debut with five straight-up trouble tunes. "Street Trends" taps into the classic Urban Takeover style where a funk-minded bassline is countered by a catchy hip-hop vocal sample. "Down By Law", meanwhile, rides with a hornet nest bassline that persists with midrange mischief and "Got Me" rubs majestically with a jazzy bassline that wouldn't have gone amiss on V back in the day, "Shine Like Gemz" celebrates the importance of atonal bass textures and their paranoid impact while "Now Or Never" closes the show with a clever spoken word sample and a bassline that nags so much and so hard and persistently you could write a whole book of mother in law jokes about it.

Review: Fresh from releasing their first album, Natty Dub label bosses Cabin Fever and Patman clears space in the schedule for a five track showdown of his own. Lean, spares and muscular are the power words of the day as Saxxon fuses classic late 90s jump up with future jungle and modern production touches. Highlights include the balance of atonal bass burps, the apache break and jazz chords on "Junction", the Sub Zero style bass plunges and classic gaming samples on "Street Fire" and the paranoid low end stretches and twisted soul sample on "Proceed". Complete with a cheeky 40 minute mix, Saxxon is spoiling us right here.

Review: This epic release comes just in time for jungle's optimum time of year. We're talking, of course, about midsummer raves, outdoor parties and general naughtiness in the sun and "Rise of the Soldiers" has got all that nastiness and more. Packed with vintage samples from the golden days of ragga, reggae and soundsystem culture, and perked up with fast-paced drum and bass riddims and bass heavier than Jabba the Hutt's mama, you can't afford to sleep on this. Featuring Saxxon, Bladerunner, Supreme Being and Coda to name just some, there's enough talent here to get any self-respecting VIP BBQ off to a flyer. Get a shuffle on.

Review: London label further crank up the expectations regarding their upcoming Rise of the Soldiers compilation with a second digi sampler featuring the collective talents of Saxxon and Bladerunner. A strong figure in the UK drum and bass scene for over a decade, Bladerunner makes his presence felt with the taut jungle rollage of "Into The Fire", a collaboration with DNA. Saxxon meanwhile goes solo with the rugged darkside business of "Radio Raheem" that has some superbly programmed drum fills. The Soldiers' uprising will be strong on the basis of these Natty Dub samplers!

Review: Natty Dub come at us once again with a double header of pure bass-driven madness courtesy of the man like Serum and Original Sin's favourite Supreme Being. So what's the gist? Ridiculous whomping bass and slick rolling percussion for Serum's "One More Thing", "No One" is Supreme Being's offering, with classic MC sampling straight from the old school landing heavily in the middle of some serious junglist vibes. Nicely done.

Review: Cabin Fever UK's Voltage takes some time out of his busy schedule to bring some of the hardest-hitting upfront drum & bass we've heard all year. Satisfyingly brutal basslines kick out some unbelievable pressure in first tune "Gangstars", and the nastiness keeps on coming in icy roller "Brain Matter" and mangled break-fest "Buss Tha Roller", pushing mean sounds with meaty production values. Final track "Flyin Disk" takes on a cold, minimal approach, quickly ramping up the tension with Break-style drums and bass for a dancefloor-slaying funk-fest. The definite article.

Review: An important snippet of advice to any would-be raver, "Party Smarty" also happens to be the squelchiest, dirtiest slice of jungle-influenced jump-up this side of the Atlantic. Pushing into obscene levels of skank-appeal, it somehow remains chilled despite having the biggest hook on the block. "Drum Machine" bounces along on a destructive mission to get the world dancing with a seriously addictive bassline and again, a false sense of security that you're being coerced, not forced onto the dancefloor. Big, punchy and lots of fun, expect this to air a lot down your local bass emporium.
