Review: Vital returns to the scene of the OnlyDrums crime for the first time since the label's launch release in January '22 and there's a lot to celebrate here. Flavours for everyone; 'Miracles' goes all-in with the stinkiest basslines the label has ever released, 'Wind Up' is a big one for those cheeky switch ups and springy funk blasts, while 'Bullet To The Head' is a trippy, leftfield take on minimal steppery and 'Hopeless' swaggers with kicks so wide you'll think your ears have expanded and there's something wrong your intestines. We believe in 'Miracles'.

Review: OnlyDrums continues to thrive at the forefront of the current rave energy with this savage six track VA attack. Featuring a range of exciting new names, the likes of Foe & Krusty, Decrypt, 10AD, Hook, N.T.G and Masson all get stuck in and deliver some disgusting dynamics. Highlights include the blazing, brazen drama of 'Franky 4 Fingers', the deliciously wobbly licks and kicks of 'Crystal' and epic, tightly coiled spring funk and timeless riffage of Masson's finale 'Jumper'. Bouncing!

Review: Following recent bassline brawls on labels such as Scoped, Subway and DNB Allstars, the always consistent Alphaze lays his hat down at OnlyDrums with this hefty spread of dancefloor tackle. As always with Alphaze, there's a sense of mischief between the dark and light as a punished basslines twist up and fold in with funk and a playful groove. The housey vocal on 'Motivation', the brazen trippy naughtiness of 'Weird Sounds' and the melting, groaning bassline on 'Hat Trick' (with Nexus) are just three examples.
Review: Stop, saddle up and listen. Rodeo's back with some brand new inventions. And boy do they gallop! As always with Rodeo, it's all the riff as he hits us hard with unforgettable funk and fire and the type of riffs you'll be humming for days to come. Highlights on this particular hoe-down is the tongue in cheek sample and tightly coiled bassline funk on 'Mr Sister' and the weird, woozy bass textures on 'Constantly'. Ride 'em pal.
Review: Houston, we have a banger... Foe graduate from astronaut school and 'Lift Off' on an OnlyDrums rocket for a trip around the jump-up solar system. From the horn-melting, asteroid-smashing 'Fiend' to the milky way-munching gutter bass of 'Don't Fight It' to nebula-flexing title track itself, this is the sound of Foe at their most energetic and creative. Complete with a Krusty-collab, it's time to strap in and feel the Gs!
Review: Shots fired! After several cameos on the label, Jhitzu hits the OnlyDrums bullseye with this debut EP 'Bullets'. Killer cuts, each and every one of them, 'Bullets' brings a little anthemic energy on the euphoric breakdown, 'Revive' is a total and utter groaner with a twisted nagging bassline while 'Turf' brings a little dubwise skank magic before Vizion joins the fray for a jam that will have us all packing up and packing in. Guns out, funs out!

Review: Barely six months have passed since Decrypt told us all to 'Shut Up' on OnlyDrums but here he returns and he's rolling deep in big company as Jhitzu, Jay Jay, Inforce, Froidy and Sterxy all jump aboard to form some type of hench gully gang. Flavours range from savagely spicy to absolute fire as we're pushed and shoved from vibe to vibe. Highlights include the nagging chuggy groove and cosmic breakdown of 'Good Time' (with Inforce) the turbo-charged drama and disgusting wobbles of 'Ravers' (with Steryx and G3 MC) Get friendly.
Review: Putting the bang back into bangers, the currently unstoppable Froidy lands on OnlyDrums with some explosive results. 'Atomic Weapon' sets off the war cries with a mushroom cloud of grizzly basslines and 'No Tellin' follows with some brilliantly demented harmonics on the bass riff while 'Ghost Train' goes full-on creeper vibe with its sprawling range of low-end flavours and swampy subs. 'Pretender' brings the EP to a close with infectious hooky feels. Duck and cover!

Review: Leicester lads CXM and REWD link up for this walloping collection on OnlyDrums. Focused on the floor with pure fire coded into every element, 'Tonight' kicks off with an addictive spoken word vocal over an absolutely savage beat while 'On Sight' is pure menace, all stern and razor sharp. Elsewhere 'Pull It Up' plays ping-pong with our minds, bodies and souls as we bounce between basslines over a tightly coiled groove. Finally 'Delinquent' gets naughty over a grizzly, twisted jump-up lick. 'Tonight' is your night!
Review: Following his recent excursions on the likes of Pick The Lock and Kartoons, OnlyDrums bossman 10AD goes in deep with his debut LP. Pure unadulterated dancefloor power, High Roller lives up to its name in every direction; cuts like the title track bring a sense of funk and class thanks to big musical sweeps while cuts like 'Missing' bring the level up with major league cameos from the likes of Traumatik. Other collabo appearances include Froidy on the stalking dark funk creeper 'Heavy Init' and Decrypt on the scatty, springy 2012-flavoured banger 'Things They Do'. 'Spaceboy' brings the final note on a slower, old school breaks flex. Ready for take off?

Review: FACT: El Pablo is actually short for 'bloody hell Pablo, these are some serious bangers!' This official debut EP is evidence. Four despicable originals courtesy of OnlyDrums, the vibes are alive from the off as DRZ joins the fray with the glitchy, guttural funk-up 'Breathe'. Elsewhere we have the sensual vocals and prowling groove of 'Skin', the ceiling raising thrusts and bumps of 'Resolute' and the dramatic grand finale All I Need (with Curt) Proof is in the playing...

Review: Finally some motivational advice we could all benefit from: Decrypt slams down on OnlyDrums with the words everyone needs to hear from time to time - 'Shut Up'. The message is delivered with 10AD over a heavyweight Dominator-style beat and it's backed up by more equally powerful and forthright heat. Highlights include 'Too Dutty', an almighty headbutt of a tune similar to late 2000s Original Sin, 'Time To Choose', a spiky game of trippy Q&A bassline stabs, and the cranium-aiming 'Headshot'. Stay schtum and listen.

Review: There's no stopping Harley D right now as he lays down these monthly murky sermons on a whole array of labels ranging from Serial Killaz to his forthcoming missive on the mighty Crucast. Right now though he's on OnlyDrums with five examples of absolute bassline blazery. Highlights range from the sudden switches and shocking 4x4 finale of 'Crisis Zone' to the trippier, bad dream flexes of 'Hide N Seek'. Elsewhere 'Critical Condition' hits hard with the big steppy slaps and 'Jump' sees him linking up with Konetix on a rifle-like 2012-flavoured jam. Critical by name, critical by nature.
Review: Listen very carefully we shall say this only once... D-Flex is making his debut on OnlyDrums with a walloping six track collection. High energy as ever, and packed with more switches than a powerplant, highlights on D-Flex's biggest release to date include the classic Taxman-flavoured energy of 'The Crew', the menacing drones and dark matter slammage of 'Drop The Bass' and the brazen distortion and firing vocals on the title track 'Listen'. And that's only half of it. Get some flexual healing today.
Review: Time to ditch that OnlyFans subscription and sign up to OnlyDrums. Same principal - hot stuff sent direct to your senses, just a hell of a lot more fulfilling and vibey. Vital takes the honour of the label's first full paid release and it's nothing short of a four-track fire up. Each cut tickles a different corner of the dancefloor. Highlights include the crisp, duck-like quacks on the bassline of 'Fire', the tension and release on the Bristol-sounding 'Live & Direct' and the classic jungle elements on the title track 'System Check'. Check it out.
