Review: Big bundle of breakbeat power here with a new, slamming two-tracker from the one like Firestar Soundtsytem! The Rat imprint is the host to these two burners which, by the way, will undoubtedly satisfy every bass head from here to Aberdeen; "Weed Music" is fueled by a bursting bit of electro bass and caressed into a seductive new form of futureproof r&b thanks to the vocals' catchy hooks, while "Can't Test Me" adopts a much more global approach thanks to its full-bodied blends of house and bass.

Review: This will certainly "make her arse shake", one for the floor if ever we've heard one. We love the constant change in pace as the track moves through beat patterns. 'M.F.B.F.B' dominates the same space as its partner track, it's energetic, punching and designed to send the floor off.

Review: Oh yes, the tie has come for some utter electronic 'fuckery', and there is no other prodocuer to deliver on that other than Pray For Bass. The name should say it all but, as you can imagine, this single "Fuck Everything" involves a shit-load of beats and a whole heap of destructive bass explosions that are masterfully blended into one mean groove. Put it this way, if you're into the wobblier side of dubstep, but are keen to have a little pop sensibility on top of that, then you've luckily stumbled on the right single. BANG!

Review: Deekline's Rat Records never beats around the bush when delivering a new jam; you always know that it's gonna be about up-front beats and dancefloor vibes. This latest offering, from Mutantbreakz & Seven G features two joints of pure 90s sports-casual bliss. "I Believe" features roof-raising ghetto beats, chopped up diva vocals and ravey, steel drums breaks. "You Know" on the other hand, sees soulful, pitched down RnB vocals and retro 90s Robin S-style organ bass riffs fuse with skippy UKG beats. Impressive stuff!

Review: Ivory gets lively with his debut Punkture piece: Big swaggering drums, fuzzy bass and nagging, infectious vocals. Very similar to the Hyper or Freeland material of about eight years ago, it's the type of track your floor will think they know instantly. Complete with a sweet-shuffled 4/4 garage bubbler from Paleface, it's going to take more than a repair kit to recover from this one!

Review: Spanish duo UFO Project have long been one of the continent's more celebrated exponents of UK-style bass fusion, with their first single dropping back in 2008. Here, they return to Deekline's Rat Records with the fifth installment of their long-running Sexy Bitches From Outer Space series. "Sound of Fire" sets the tone, with picturesque melodies and intergalactic electronics stretching out atop a fearsome breakbeat garage groove and thunderous sub. "I Feel Alright", is similarly epic, with 1990 style bleeps, classic vocal samples and intense rave noises riding punishing breakbeats and pulsating wobble bass. Both tracks sound like ready-made floorfillers.

Review: Mackenzie, Fixx and Rat Records have been developing a firm relationship of late. Hot on the heels of the storming "Wurk It" and "Freak Dat" releases comes this bass-charmed booty-basher. Referencing both breakbeat and trap, the smouldering 808 kicks and bass have been dynamically built into a thundering breakbeat riddim while the pitched down vocals add the perfect touch of ghetto paranoia. For a headier trap rendition jump on D:RC's remix; leaning sleazily on a cool halfstep, switches are thrown on the break as the synth riff takes over. Heavy!

Review: Originally released in December 2012, Slyde's bashy, electro workout gets the facelift treatment from Rat boss Deekline and good friends Ed Solo and Laidback. Deekline and Laidback's remix screams peak time with its hardcore-referencing synth hook and dramatic build-up dynamics. For a slinkier, more traditional booty-bass breakbeat treatment jump on Ed Solo's remix. Stripped back and sexy, it purrs with timeless butt-shaking science.

Review: Not only does this hashtag-brandishing banger sit neatly amidst the playlists of trap, breakbeat, bootybass and ghetto-funk, it's something of an all-star cast, too. To make things even more appetising, Rat have called up JFB, Afrowhitey and Dancefloor Outlaws for an array of equally heavy genre-bending rubs. JFB smelts notions of dubstep naughtiness with tight rolling beats, Afrowhitey throws down a series of massive trappist drama hits and licks while Dancefloor Outlaws opt for a more subtle, jacking house angle. In true Rat fashion each one tickles a totally different corner of the dancefloor with aplomb.

Review: As if the JFB and North Base remixes on the original release in February weren't quite enough, Deekline and Hardy Hard's "Can't Hide It" enjoys six more exciting reversions from some of the coolest names in the breakbeat scene. Mafia Kiss add a touch of ghetto booty class, Ed Solo ramps things up on a D&B flex, Inasound get slinky and sexy on a two-step trip, Eklektik Mindz go all dreamy, deep and progressive, Jurassik pays homage to the Prodigy with his nu-jungle blend while Si-Dog closes the show with a dramatic, saw-toothed breakbeat stomper. One epic original, six wholly different rubs, this is why Rat are at the very centre of the bass music's top table.

Review: When it comes to bona fide garage MCs, Sparks is one of the top boys. His distinctive chatter helped "Fly Bi" become one of the UKG's most epoch-defining crossover tunes. For this authentic garage homage we find him going toe-to-toe with fellow mic luminaries Rubi Dan, Midas and many more, creating a sterling balance between nostalgia and future-thinking bass music. Remix-wise, label bosses Deekline & Ed Solo give it a modern day breakbeat reboot, Pure SX and Mutantbreakz add some cheeky slap bass into the mix and, last but definitely not least, Rennie Pilgrem does serious damage with a breakbeat tidal wave. Lift those shoulders now!

Review: Originally released this spring, Deekline and Ed Solo return to their hype-heaving vocalist hoedown with two more interesting versions. First up is Deekline himself with his own twist on the trap story; adding a huge cavernous bass tone to the 808s, it's distinctively Deekline while referencing the current Atlanta-born bass phenomenon. Mike Delinquent, meanwhile, pays respect to the original's two-step arrangement while adding his own sense of low-end drama. Champion sounds!

Review: Deekline's Rat brand looks across the pond for some raw ghetto-minded booty breaks business. With Kidd Money making sure we understand exactly how he'd like his female dog to perform her chores, it's down to Keith and Fixx - both strong fixtures on the US breaks scene - to lay down the crisp, euphoric hooks. It's a heady brew and guess what? It wurks.

Review: The Rat crew submit to the summer heat and drop the tempo for a super-smoochy disco-funk ass-shaker. Darrison's rep as the scene's most melodious MC remains intact. With such a smooth flow he complements both the juicy lolloping bassline and the bold, insistent strings. Need more hardcore welly? Head for Electric Soulside's swashbuckling old school rave breaks revision. Need a more rolling Ils style workout? Check out Breaking News' headnod to breakbeat's most golden era.

Review: Taken from their jam-packed, juicy fruit debut LP Bounce N Shake, "Number 1 Champion" sees Deekline and Solo riding bareback on a classic 90s garage vibe while Million Dan, Kidd Money and MC Flispide go loco on the mic. Chanting in chorus while taking their own bars very seriously indeed, the collective conjure up toxic levels of energy. Remix-wise Keith and Fixx up the ante for a traditional tear-out breakbeat remix and Smookie Illson polishes up the synth hook before dropping into a devastating 4/4 bass romp.

Mutantbreakz feat Rubi Dan
Review: Mutantbreakz are climbing up the breakbeat ladder with some serious focus right now, and hooking up with the distinctive spitter Rubi Dan is likely to take them several rungs higher. Rubi's flow is up there with the Ragga Twins and Million Dan in its clarity and party-hyping abilities, and the MB's funk-guitar-munching licks and sizzling bass complement his rapid chatter perfectly. If you're more in the line for some dirtier, electro-edged, chunky devastation then head to Kid Panel's remix. Heavy.

Review: Power-up! UK booty-bass stalwart Deekline and German filth peddler Hardy Hard get heavy with a hands-aloft raver that ticks every breakbeat box possible; rushy riddims, a sopping wet bassling, ceiling-punch pianos and a united-we-stand vocal. It's a tricky tightrope to tread but they've done it with nary a harness in sight. North Base take things up a few BPMs on their remix, driving it into more of an old school rave scenario. JFB closes with show with a switch-flipping dubstep number - watch out for the tricky rhythms beneath the croaking bassline: this ain't no standard halfstep procedure.

Review: Bang! There'd been hushed tones of this opus for well over a year, and at a whopping 29 tracks, it's been well worth the wait. Showcasing their widest repertoire, within the first trio of tracks we're already treated to Latino swing breaks, new jungle jiggery and dramatic dubstep. This wide-eared vibe embracement runs throughout consistently; "Hey Mr DJ" rattles a few electro-hop cages, "Countdown" is quintessential booty-bass heaven complete with delectable UK hip-hop rhymage, while "You Can Be My Night" shoots us up to planet D&B on a floaty carpet of rave heritage. A solid calling card to every party in town, it's time to get bouncing...

Review: You might say "Ganjaman" is a smoking riddim. And not only would you be funny... You'd be bang on the money: this is one seriously well executed piece of breakbeat, just like they used to make in the early noughties when the sound first emerged. Palpitating bass, beefy kicks and sirens galore, Rubi Dan's toasting is the icing on the cake. "Renegade" is equally authentic. With a smidgeon of garage charm on the wobbly underbelly, and some kicking old school stabs to boot, this is sure to rock your floor.

Review: Following up their monstrous "Hole" late last year, Spanish sizzlers UFO Project return with yet another rotund romp that sits comfortably between the underground and more current electro-dubstep mainstream. "Play Me" scrams and hisses in one ear with a screaming bassline yet whispers dirty nothings in your other ear with the slinky breakbeat rhythm. "The Flow Is Fat", meanwhile, is home to one of the juiciest trad-breakbeat basslines (think old school Freq Nasty), b-boy breakbeats and an epic electro riff on the drop. Do as the record says...play it.

Review: It's been a big old year for Spanish breakers UFO Project; their slew of releases has been nothing short of astonishing, their album on Elektroshok just keeps on giving AND they named a track "Sexy Bitches From Outer Space". Props. No surprises, then, that this kicks serious jacksy. With an energy and raw riff power of the Freestylers or Breakfastaz, both cuts here are unashamed dancefloor damagers "Hole" is a classic jump up breaks assault (circa mid noughties) while "Boom Bass!!!" takes a more booty bouncer with added spike and menace. Unabated party business, this is one "Hole" you're happy to burn in your pocket.

Review: Trading big bars over even bigger beats, the night New Jam hooked up with Deekline & Ed Solo there were tremors in every studio of the land...A mighty booty-rap-bouncer, this was always guaranteed to raise a roof or seven. Now available in more remixed forms, the mysterious Tomlinson applies two different methodologies: the Bass remix is a swashbuckling breakbeat version with added steppy depths while the dubstep remix puts tonnes more emphasis on the half step, twisting and tearing up the subs along the way. Worthwhile reversions, these need your attention.

Review: Finally, a bubbly late 90s bassline/UKG flavoured dedication to Richard Whitely, the spiritual host of Channel 4's Countdown. Wait, what? This isn't a special dedication to a revered TV hero? Oh, you say it's a block-rocking, mic-munching party joint with a So Solid style spitfire rap? Actually that sounds like a much better reason to write a tune. Especially when it comes with two exceptional remixes and two instrumentals. The two-step take is authentically sharp but if you're looking for something all the more skank-worthy, head for Atomic's sprightly fun fare vibe. Exceedingly cheeky. Richard who?

Review: A peck on the cheek promising imminent death; that's what a Mafia kiss is. Just in case you were under any illusions. It seems Breakspoll winner Mafia Kiss certainly isn't. While this ain't no peck - it's more like a sloppy, passionate reach-around - it sure is deadly. Taking elements of Nino Rota's classic Godfather theme and smashing them into a wobblesome, bass-ravaged breaks track, "Who's This?" will cause instant applause thanks to its familiarity while giving your floor plenty of surprises thanks to the twisted arrangement. With added triplet squeezes and more persistence than a team of angry tabloid readers, you won't be asking who Mafia Kiss is for very long.
