Review: Back to 2019... Lupo dropped the growling, prowling beast that was 'Frequencies Of Dub'. Now part of the exciting slew of Lupo remixes that seem to be dropping right now, we have two updates from two close friends in the game. The funky Dunk steps up first with a pared-back grumbly one. Driven by a curmudgeonly bassline, there's a real flabby sense of fun to the groove. Meanwhile OCC sparring partner Teej goes in on the dubby reflections and big fat rolling subs. Make a connection.

Review: Atom-splitting remix action now on Profound Beats as Teej's 2018 EP undergoes a few version excursions. First up is Flat T who takes 'Radioactive' to grizzly new levels with brisk beats and layers on layers of droned-out bass textures. Fellow OCC member Lupo follows with a shake-up of 'Paralysis', giving it a whole stack of big boom energy on the already ballistic bassline. Power-full.

Review: The three artists here are all well-known names these days, having been smashing the jump-up circuit for a number of years across the UK. They've all made a load of massive tracks and the three of them have collaborated on two remixes that make for a wicked EP. Jayline is on remix duties with 'ESP' and it's made us wonder how he packs so much sheer energy into his synth lines and the clarity he composes throughout the range is properly sick. Shadre & Salvage jump on 'Valhalla' with ease, getting straight to it with a quickfire intro that descends into a hellishly aggressive mash of bass synths of varying persuasions. Sick release this.

Review: Every now and then, you just want a release that slams start to finish. No frills, no pretence of trying to be something that it isn't, just solidly banging D&B that gets your head nodding and your feet moving. Exile has done that here and this single is a run of attitude-packed jump up, all of which would sound fat through a sound system. 'Hysteria' is a highlight, moody samples leading you in into a fluttering array of jagged sonics and boom-bap drum hits, a vibe that's quickly transferred across into '321 Gravitate' - snapping percussive hits, moody bass notes and melody that oozes power.

Review: With some cool, dark, artwork, Nautik has landed on Profound Beats with a hard-hitting double tracker which combines a penetrating sense of attitude with a non-nonsense approach to musical arrangements. 'Watchinada' has an warped-out, Souped Up vibe in its arrangement that feels powerful to the extreme and is perfect for a crowded dancefloor, especially with its underpinning in some weighty percussion. 'FBM' is the roller of the two and grounded in wobbly atmospherics and a sense of space which makes it a pleasure to listen to, its snapping drum line providing the ground rock underneath. Yes boys.

Review: Frequencies of Dub is one of those names that sort of just sounds good, you know? It's almost like the D&B equivalent of managerial buzzwords, except instead of 'collaboration', 'passionate' and 'driven', it's terminology that draws on the history of UK underground music. Lupo is doing exactly that with this release, the first side of which is a straight up bit of foghorn gullyness, with a distant, pulsating bass that forms the main body of some serious low-frequency energy. 'Something Like Dis' is more low-key, slipping you into the wobbly madness before you quite realise what's going on.

Exile & Flexxa feat Duskee
Played by: Juno Recommends Drum & Bass
Review: With some seriously emotive artwork, Exile & Flexxa have landed on Profound Beats with a hard-hitting double tracker which combines a penetrating sense of attitude with a non-nonsense approach to musical arrangements. 'Barrier' has an warped-out, Souped Up vibe in its arrangement that feels slightly cheap but is perfect for a crowded dancefloor, especially with its underpinning in some weighty percussion. 'Nucleus'' is the roller of the two and grounded in wobbly atmospherics and a sense of space which makes it a pleasure to listen to, its snapping drum line providing the ground rock underneath. Yes boys.

Review: Featuring some of the suavest artwork you're going to see for a while, Silent Storm is landing over on Profound Beats with a fiery single which includes a remix from resident serial dancefloor killer Jack The Ripper. 'Protection' opens with a reggae influenced intro that's held together by an array of percussive knocks, yet flips on the drop into a expansive web of bassline force that contracts and expands according to its underpinning drum snaps. Super unique feel on this one, love it. The flip is less sophisticated but more furious and it features the vocals of SMK on mic duty. Jack The Ripper has done a wicked job for transforming this one into a jagged mash of punchy synths and industrial bass notes. Nice.

Review: Jaydan is a well-known name these days, having been smashing the jump-up circuit for a number of years across the UK. Ironlung isn't quite as prolific but that doesn't stop him from making massive tracks and the pair of them have collaborated on two remixes that make for a wicked EP. Jaydan is on remix duties with 'Makes You Wonder' and it's made us wonder how he packs so much sheer energy into his synth lines and the clarity he composes throughout the range is properly sick. Ironlung jumps on 'Time To Die' with ease, getting straight to it with a quickfire intro that descends into a hellishly aggressive mash of bass synths of varying persuasions. Sick release this.

Review: Over on Profound Beats, Teej is doing absolute bits with this EP. It opens with the title track, a Serum-esque array of drawn-out, dirty synths that stretch and stretch with an other-worldly quality that just sounds amazing. 'Paralysis' has a spooky intro full of the sounds of rain and a shivering girl, an eeriness which puts you in the mood for the unique, minimal-led steppiness of this tune. - a seriously cool bit of music. 'Razor Blade' is more minimal goodness, a proper little roller that creeps from phrase to phrase in menacing fashion, its horror movie-aesthetic worsened by the breathing and gasping you can hear. 'Valhalla' finishes things up in more rolling style, a fluid back end flowing in underneath yet more perfect drums. There's loads of detail etched in to every second of these tunes - sick.

Review: Previously spotted on Clawhammer as part of their Stars Of The Future series, London new-gen bass meddler Noire makes his debut on Profound Audio with another far ranging clutch of rollers, steppers and stinkers. "Shoot Em Up" groans with a classic warhead-era Krust style droney but funky bassline while "Off The Record" is all swaggering swung drums and strange middy bass harmonics. Elsewhere "Moving Forward" whisks us off into space with Furney style sax elements, "Scanners" is all twisted, cyclical and just on the right side of prang before ending with "Black Sabbath". A jittering finale, its bassline is so venomous it could track down Tony Iommi and bite off the rest of his fingers. Rock on.

Review: Previously of Northbase, Exile continues to smash things solo with his first full EP. Five track of total demolition, there are too many guns for our feeble humanoid fingers right here: the urgent turbine groan of "Murk It", the staccato drama of "Devil's Belief", the tuned percussion, junglised fills and tubular basses of "ESP", the absolute stank of the swampy, flabby bass riff of "The Victim". Flipping the switch for the finale, Exile gets conscious on the thoughtful narrative stepper with wisdom from MCs Stubb Z and Midas proving he's not totally evil (just evil most the time...)

Review: Last spotted giving us shiners on G13, Ingenuity makes his debut on Profound with two boneshaking grizzlers. "Drop Kick" lives up to its name with a groaning wobbled-out bassline melting over the robust kick drums. One kick and you're down. "Rex" is equally monstrous with its multi-textured basslines weaving and bobbing between each other while theatrical horns lead the charge. Total knock out material.

Review: Two savagely on-point new-gen bass arsonists land on Profound Beats and fire off a shot each. Enta gets all oceanic with a futuristic bassline that's not dissimilar Bladerunner's sound. Smooth, shiny but unfailingly formidable in the dance. Flexxa meanwhile goes a little deeper than usual with a real growler of a tune that swathes back and forth with a truly menacing purr that's softened by a swooning jazzed out sample. Rock out with your glock out.

Review: Quick! Ironlung is about to get Schwifty, he needs a beat and he needs it stat! Non payment of said beat will leave you swamped in metallic bass scrapes, fog horn funk and a tense state of unpredictability for days, maybe even weeks or perhaps years. For more insane, switch flippery and unrivalled energy jump on "Problems". A more classically trained hooky jam laced with some expert vocal samples and a wonderfully swampy bass texture, it's yet another fire starter from the man like Lungy. Wub a lub a dub dub!

Review: Manchester's Sphereix keeps on twisting and turning with his own unique ruff-house bass scuffs. Making his debut on the ever-developing Profound Beats imprint, once again he brings the noise with a rampant bass riff and a precision plucked vocal sample. Next up is a continental soundclash as he gets jiggy with Belgium's Woodz. The result is a head-melting balance of crystal synths and a jagged laser bass where both men's muscles are felt with equal punch. The struggle is real yo.

Review: From zero to bravo in two seconds flat, Silent Storm belies his title with his third militant package of the year. "Army Chatter" is a laser-firing stampede designed to flatten and conquer nations. "Razor" is the ultimate pincer movement with its sneering, searing electrified bass rasps while "Try That Again" stocks up the stabby arsenal for an all-out badman blockage. Finally "Carnage" seeks and destroys with a little help from SMK. Charge after charge of murk muskets, it's another battle won for the Silent soldier.

Review: Previously spotted murking the life out of Unauthorised Audio and Wobble Infection this year, the fast-rising Phenom makes his debut on new Kent-based label Profound Beats. Three solos and two collabos with long-time partner in grime Vital deep, essential highlights include the iconic jungle vocal sample on "On My Mind", the low-riding Bristol-style bass funk of "The Real Scarface" and the relentless steppy energy and stark minimalism of "The 10th Commandment" All corners covered.

Review: Launched at the end of 2015, Kent based Profound Beats is still very much in its infancy as an imprint, but this five track EP from Bou featuring his regular collaborator Dutta shows they're ready to play with the big kids. This EP is massive! 'Ganster Whistle' will have you pulling all types of bass faces while bussin' the one foot skank, trust us it's not optional the low end is just magnetic. 'Landscape' is one of those tracks that really stands out in a set, its distinguishing feature is it's high pitch, modern jump up melodic pattern, but the metalic, gritting grind between the bars brings something fresh. "New Beginnings' is our favourite track of the release, it's all about that pulsating low end. 'For The Moment' is stripped back dancefloor, cowbells, train horns and a dirty sub. 'Midnight' builds with a head bobbing, clapping and tapping drum pattern, but the glory of this track comes with melody, it's fun and party ready.

Review: Long-time cohorts and collaborators Danger and Jack The Ripper crash into each other once again, this time on Profound Beats. The Ripper man takes the lead with two solos; the rampant wasps nest bass shredder "Disko" and the brittle metallic zaps and slaps of "Random". Danger joins the fray for the final two bumpers of the package; "Go" is a woozy, drunken bass wriggler while "The Past" kicks us into the future with absolute sheet metal textures that double up and subvert in a really funky way as the track develops. Bottom's up!

Review: Finally, a chance for everyone to experience LSD safely and legally as D-Minus and friends take over Profound's first release of the year. Rather than a frolic in a field of strawberry fields, the title track is a little more intense with its bad trip bass blaring with horn-like menace. Deeper into the trip we flex as K-Motionz & Danger do the rusty robot on "Eyespy", Ironlung takes us all for the fools that we are, LBS twists up the styles with a neuro intro and jump-up drop on the battle-ready "Special Forces" and K-Motionz gets his angular grit on with "Orbital". There's no comedown from this.
