Nice Up!

Having first started as an events company showcasing reggae and dancehall, DJ Shep originally founded the Nice Up! label imprint as a means to release exclusive remixes and one drops on vinyl to help promote the events side of the business. Since that original idea, the label has without a doubt grown into one of the UK’s leading experimental dub, reggae and jungle platforms, with a host of the most sought after vocal talent making regular appearances. One of the things that makes the project so unique is their incredible selection of collaborative link ups, from P Money & Chronixx to Riddim Punks, Eva Lazarus & Taxman and then back to Adam Prescott, Dynamite MC, Jah Screechy and Woz, the creativity behind their catalogue holds no bounds. As they continue to push the boundaries of Jamaican influenced music here in the UK, the future has never looked brighter for Nice Up!

Review: Since their inception, there are few labels that have been able to tie the fusion of Jamaican system-influenced sounds with the UK underground as well as the Nice Up! Team. We have been absolutely loving their journey in recent times, with this latest selection seeing them gathering some of their biggest hitters for one of our favourite compilation drops of 2021. That list of heavy hitters includes the likes of Danny T, Tradesman, Red Eye HiFi, Taxman, Escape Roots and many more, all of whom contribute a fantastic combination of instrumental and vocal fire. The quality level is so high, from the footwork inspired drum rolls of Casement's 'Mutiny', to Congi's spacious rethink of Origin One's 'Dead & Buried' and even Gray's big room recreation of 'Strangers' from Mr Benn & Tiya X An. There are a couple of clear highlights for us, including Wrongtom's dubwise rethink of Seanie T's 'Veterans', which features one of the most vibrant collections of UK hip hop vocalists we have ever seen. As well as this, the Riddim Punks rework of Think Tonk & General Jah Mikey's 'None Of Dem' is anthem material if ever we heard it. Fantastic work!

Review: Over the years the Nice Up! Imprint has continued to supply us with forward thinking, dubwise-influenced original creations, with this new second selection, entitled 'Deeply Remixed' seeing some of Origin One's best work put into the blender. The project is stacked with exciting overhauls, including inputs from Zero T, T-Kay, Congi, Rukus and more, all supplying colourful flavours to the table. There are a few real standouts, with Robot Riddims giving 'World Peace' an uplifting twist, doused in electronic energy, next to the spacey tones of MNTX's rethink of Jah Jah. There is also something very satisfying about LVNDLXRD's sub-heavy garage version of 'Gyal A Wine Up', again adding to the versatility of this fantastic selection.

Review: With loping dancehall funk and autotuned reggae vibes, this single from Think Tonk and General Mikey is the perfect envelope of music for carnival season. The weather is improving and the lockdown restrictions are easing, and these two have roped in two remixers to beef up an already perfect original. 'None of Dem' is legitimate dancehall, full of integrity and grounded in the partyland ethos that sees bashment, reggae and dub meet in a technicolour explosion of good vibes. Riddim Punks toughens things up with a drum & bass flip, whilst Red Eye Hifi lays out the kicks in an even harder rendition that crosses genre boundaries with ease. Lovely stuff.

Review: Over the years we have seen the Nice Up! Team deliver a really wide range of creations, often focussing on the more dubwise end of the spectrum. This time around however, we see them unveil this killer new footwork-style selection from Casement and boy is it impactful. We begin with the super grimey synthesizer work and choppy breakbeat grooves of the title track 'Mutiny', which is set to bring life to any party. Next, we continue the grimey-influences as the eskimo-infused melodies and percussive clicks of 'Thunder' take us somewhere completely different, before finishing up the EP with 'Movement', a crunchy experiment in rhythm and sub. A very tidy selection indeed!

Review: Riddim Punks is dropping an album on Nice Up and the results are distinctly impressive. The features they've managed to bring in particular, as Rider Shafique, the Ragga Twins, Eva Lazarus, Chronixx and P Money all get in on the fun. There's a moody intro track from Rider Shafique which sets the tone, before a wickedly wobbling number - 'London Is Burning feat. King Ali Baba - gets things underway. For those who love things heavy, 'Calypso' feat. Navigator and Scorpio MC is a stepping jump up number, whilst the dream duo of Chronixx and P Money lay down the fire on 'Sell My Gun'. This album is tight, fuelled by the sounds of the U.K. underground and totally unmissable.

Review: This EP has to have possibly the most ridiculous MC lineup that's ever been concocted in the UK, as a truly all-encompassing list of UK greats get's the remix treatment. The Ragga Twins, Navigator, Roots Manuva.... the list goes on. It's crazy to hear and things are made better by the quality of the remixes on offer, as Liondub and Jah Boogs roll the motley crew of vocal sounds out over a rythmically diverse beat that mutates from hip-hop tones into rolling drum & bass business. Wrongtom nails his remix, lounging the vocals out over a dub beat, whilst Daz-I-Kue gives it an afrobeat flip. Legendary stuff.

Review: Well, what more can we say about the Nice Up! team at this point? Their roster and recent catalogue have both been incredible to watch, culminating in this, the sixth edition of their 'Nice Up The Session' compilation series. The line up is outstanding as we see Gentleman's Dub Club, Seanie T, Red Eye HiFi, XL Mad, Origin One and more return to the label for a showcase of some of their most popular releases this year. Two tracks we definitely would like to point out as interesting highlights for this one have to include 'Shards', a lethal future-bashment arrangement from Casement, alongside Champion Sound's explosive jungle rework of Turn Ya Lights On from Escape Roots & Dark Angel. Awesome!

There's even more to pay tribute to, too... Zero T is on board with an absolute belter of a remix, all purring bassline and dubby spaciousness. Looking for a little digidub danger?

Review: Nice Up! are at it again here as they continue their journey into the unknown, this time employing the talents of Noh Vae who arrives with three parcels of absolute weight. We kick off with the title track 'Look At U', a precisely design jukey masterpiece, with incredibly crispy drum arrangements and subtle bass tones leading the way, before the more emotive atmospherics and vocal stabs of 'Days & Days' roll into play. Finally, we take a more experimental D&B route as 'Perception' again deploys incredibly fine drum work to round this project off with some major finesse.

"What It Is" busses up sexy R&B vibes with some fantastic drum choppage as the breaks get diced and spliced to smithereens amid a whole sea of tropical tones. Dig deeper for "Knife & Fork" where a little trappist drama provides a white knuckle build into a stripped back dancehall stepper jam. Don't ask what, ask why not?

Review: Numa Crew's T-Kay returns to Nice Up! with two more energy sessions. "Bring The Bass" slaps and tickles with serious Bingo Beats 2005 era bassline funk, galvanised by some obese production chops. "Heard Somebwoy" digs a little deeper with its spacious tunnelling soundsystem primed bass drones and rolling underground feel. Two exceptional cuts with a mixdown that really bites into any mix you drop them. Okay T-Kay!

Review: Nice Up live up to their name with a trio of speaker-melting takes on Origin One's most recent release; the fragrant herbal homage "High Grade". First up are no-nonsense next-gen junglist Selecta J-Man and Kelvin 373 whole flip the gritty dancehall original into a turbo-charged jump-up hybrid, mysterious Manny collective Think Tonk get all wavey and stampy while Canadian operator flips things into a cosmic halftime workout where K.O.G's gritty gravel vocals really shine. Nice work.

Review: Reviewed by Jungle Strikes: Nice Up has been killing it lately. They always seem to get the right balance between vintage Reggae and dancehall vibes but with a modern feel. Something they hit spot on with this release. All three mixes are cool, Redhifi bring the modern dancehall 808 and horn feel whilst Hempolics vibe it out to great effect but the huge Kursiva Remix is the one for us. With that heavy bass and skanking guitars alongside the 'wanna Know' vocal hook, it's aimed straight at the dance floor. Delivered in a way that reminded us of Ed Solo productions or Shy Fx at their skanking best.
