Review: Serious business right here as Jinx enlists the lyrical skills of the one and only Cheshire Cat. Top ranking skanking all the way, his patter flows like water over a bruising bassline and relentless kicks. File under 'festival anthem in waiting' then get jiggy to the rest of the EP; 'We There' is a thugged-out warper that's not dissimilar to D*Minds, 'Rock The Party' is a classic jump-up tear-up while 'Dub Wize' thunders out with a wobbly tubular sub and brisk breaks that wouldn't have gone amiss on Ram back in the late 90s. Run Tingz running tings exquisitely once again.
Review: Tunes to make you go 'yoink!' Loveable rogue Nick The Lot is back and, in true Run Tingz spirit, he's making so much noise he's gone and woken the dead. Zombielicious highlights include the title track, which is up there as one of his most deliciously ridiculous tunes to date; 'Watch Your Block', a bubbling rattler that switches more bassline flavours than your mum's had lie-ins; 'Teleportation', a twisted jitterbug with more grizzlies than Yellowstone and glitchier than your dad's cracked copy of FL Studio and 'Let You Go', an alien infested freak-out with some of the most surreal sounds Nick The Lot has ever conjured. Boink.
Review: From Bristol to the world, long-standing jungle collective Run Tingz wrap up 2020 with a serious jolt of positivity as they take in the internatty landscape and bring the full crew and many new faces together for this album rammed to the rafters with original - and largely vocal - dancefloor skank-ups. Highlights are instant as the opener 'Beautiful World' sets the vibes to stun. Elsewhere 'Lava Mouth' with Junior Morgan fuses savage breaks and disco stabs, Jinx and Deanie Rankin go for some proper gritty late 90s Dread vibes on 'Hooligan' and Cru newcomer Dublic dishes out a serious grumbler with the Total Science-style 'The Streets'. These are just the tip of the iceberg. Go global or go home.
Review: The latest six-tracker from Run Tingz Recordings is a six-tracker from Jinx, a producer whose jungle and jump-up credentials are firmly established and whom is on top form here once more. Title track 'Bed Of Roses' is certainly aptly named as it combines both an alluring prettiness with sharp edges, in part thanks to the slick vocal work from Texxus Red, who sounds especially good on the loping, hip-hop influenced introduction that perfectly sets the scene. This track also sets the scene for the rest of the release, an excellent piece of work from the Run Tingz team.
Review: Run Tingz are a Bristolian crew with an ever-expanding pedigree in the unique blend of Dub, jungle and D&B that comes out of the city. The sound there is honestly like nowhere else and these guys really capitalise on it, their releases always strike that balance between fun and seriousness and they land hard but also chill out at the same time. Salaryman and Veak team up for this one and it's all very sick stuff, especially 'Ghetto Youth', which combines some slick lyrical business with a fluid, wobbling back end. Lovely.

Frillla is responsible for this one and it's all very sick stuff, especially 'Feel The Rage', which combines some slick lyrical business with a fluid, wobbling back end. Lovely.
Review: Run Tingz Cru are a Bristolian outfit that specialise in uplifting, jungle influenced sonics that'll make you smile and pull a bass face at the same time. This EP is out for Valentines day and it's a rip-roaring mix of sounds and styles, with almost all corners of the scene being represented one day or another. The Dubtime Amen remix of Took My Breath featuring Solo Banton and Lady Fyah is up there with the highlights, a lovely combination of vibrant vocal tones and raucous jungle strikes, with an absolutely killer kick drum. The Jinx Amen remix of Drop Call, which features the legendary Tenor Cat, is also up there, its summery fluidity sounding amazing with a slice of darkness underneath. Banging.
Review: Bristol's Run Tingz crew are living up to their name once again as they curate a collection of bumper thumpers primed and fortified with killer vocals from Jago and Deemas J. Pure soundsystem MC culture, both dons apply their dancehall tones across a range of flavours; from the tripped out woozy grunts and shunts of "Ganja Girls" with Jinx through to the pure hype slap-about "Raggamuffin", all laced with heavy doses of pro-green poetry, this bountiful EP is a precision snapshot of the skills of Jago, Deemas J and Run Tingz. Pure jungle timelessness. Essential skank weapons.
Review: Run Tingz are a Bristol based imprint that seek to project the Bristolian sound all across the U.K. That sound is a hypnotic blend of ragga influences, jungle vibes and rolling, bassy tones of the type that blow up Bristol dancefloors on an almost daily basis. For their Best of 2018 album they've rolled out the big guns for a fat compilation featuring the likes of Bladerunner, Kursiva, Dossa and Brian Brainstorm so you know it's going to be good. 'Sound Killer' by Bladerunner is typical of this; funky, upbeat ragga sampling and sick vocals from Fuchaman with an underpinning of junglist vibes and pulsing basslines. The rest of the album is just as good - go cop it.
Review: Run Tingz is a uniquely Bristolian outlet that consistently pushes that feel-good yet dirty vibe so endemic to the Bristol D&B scene - arguably the best in the world. This LP combines the reggae-influenced jungle sound with a more edged out sense of darkness, the former of which exemplified by 'My Sound' featuring Deanie Rankin: its recreation of Curtis Mayfield's 'Move On Up' is especially cool. Brian Brainstorm contributes an absolutely fire jungle riddim that just does everything right: bright reggae sampling, hard-hitting breakbeats and diving swirl of wobbling sines and reeces. When you listen through this album you can almost see the bucket-hat donning and wavey shirt wearing Bristolian crowd going nuts - pick it up.
Review: Legendary reggae / dancehall singer Da Fuchaman joins the dots with his debut excursion into jungle. He's rolling with the best company as Run Tingz have recruited a crack team of on point craftsmen for him to vibe with: Serial Killerz, Isaac Maya, Frisk, Numa Crew, Choppa, Brian Brainstorm join the Run Tingz Cru themselves as Fuchaman brings the consciousness over a menu of gully textures. Highlights include the stench like bass on "Babylon Falling", the pure fire of the opener "Jungle Love" and the classic horn waves and snaking snares of "Call The Police". A unique and vital album that celebrates fusion at its deepest melting pot roots.
Review: Absolute remix fire from Brizzle's Run Tingz Cru as a select bounty of the label's vaults gets the treatment from a rollcall of new-gen roustabouts. DJ Hybrid takes the lead as he supercharges the already stinking KO shot from Serial Killaz, bringing a whole new energy to Blackout JA's throaty vocals. Other highlights include the immense drum work of Aries on J-Man's "Roadblock", the unapologetic roughness and energy of Isaac Maya's take on Dossa's "Rock A Dub" and P-Tay's superb scatty switches and glitches on "Crossroads". Immense.
Review: Run Tingz Cru invite us deep into their stomping ground with this walloping five track west country jungle odyssey. "Welcome To Bristol" gives us a hearty handshake by way of some very clever reference points and razor sharp breaks. Elsewhere we're skanked to high heavens with "Spit Fire", we get slapped by the ghost of Clipz on "Women Dem" while "Legalize" is all about the heady rave stabs and stick gunfingers. "Fully Loaded" provides the final fire of the EP with a nagging vocal, haunted elements and drums that punch from here to no man's land. Bring on the second part!
Mashup Di Place (feat Lady Chann) - (3:53) 176 BPM
Mashup Di Place (feat Lady Chann - Run Tingz Cru Dirty remix) - (4:10) 176 BPM
Review: Mexico b2b Spain b2b London: Isaac Maya, Kursiva and Lady Chann collide for a sunny-side skank-out Run Tingz style. Big hooks, emphatic vocals, driving beats and hammonds from here to Land's End; fusions of reggae and drum & bass don't get much slicker and more soulful. Remix-wise the Run Tingz Cru and Breakah Dirty add a little grimey murk, demonic bass tones and a sharp jungle drumset for the darker hours of the night. Mash it up!
Review: Run Tingz spark up the dance with a little Lionfire as longstanding junglist Gold Dubs joins the party. Firstly, he links up with Da Fuchaman once again for a sing-along pro-sticky, anti-inequality skank-out "My Erb". Secondly, he rips a huge hole on your soul with a break-shattering, rave-referencing shock-out "Mash Up". Thirdly, he saddles up with Carasel for a spooked out ride through the darkest corners of the techy roller universe. Fourthly, he shuts the shop with what appears to be a light-footed jazzy stepper before dropping into a vicious waspy bass aesthetic. Fifthly, don't sleep on this!
Review: David Zowie collaborator and all-round badman Da Fuchaman applies his gutsy, gravelly soundsystem sermons to the Run Tingz template for two savage drum-drenched jungle workouts. Gold Dubs switches the dancehall switch with a steppy, tripletty, stripped back jam while Levela jumps in and does what he does best... Smash the place to pieces. Authentic jungle business.
Kill Dem Again (feat Blackout JA) - (4:13) 180 BPM
Kill Dem Again (feat Blackout JA - Koznik & Khavy remix) - (4:27) 175 BPM
Review: A firm face in the Run Tingz camp since 2013, Bristol ragamuffin J-Man gets lively with two of the most distinctive reggae vocalists who've crossed over to the D&B darkside; both Daddy Freddy and Blackout JA punch with real throaty gravel over J's shank-skanked rhythm to create in an ageless jungle jam. Looking for more punch in the bass department? Jump on Koznik and Khavey's potty-mouthed jump-up slapper. Think Konichi's style and you're not far off.
Review: Bristol-based, Kingston born vocalist Da Fuchaman and champion jungle futurists Run Tingz are the perfect match. Following in a very similar vibe to Blackout JA, Fuchaman's gravelly toasting wraps itself round a 170 breakbeat like tar on a lung bronchiole - all sticky and dangerous. Gold Dubs' version maintains full use of the vocal while J-Man creates more space for his classic retro bubble bass licks. Both are serious skank-ups with an abundance of rewind potential.
Review: Ah yes! More smoked-out drum and bass runnings from the one like Kursiva, and this time he's brought along Jahba and Clasiko to take care of the vocal front. As per usual, "High Vibes" combines the heart of both jungle and reggae, where seductive lyrics meet choppy jungle breaks and waves of blazing delay on the melodies. The remix duties are picked up by Terrahawk who focuses more on speeding up the beat twists in something of a dub version. Gnarly.
Review: You know the jungle will smash it up with a Run Tingz release and they haven't disappointed with this collaboration with the mighty Doubla J and Breakah. Still repping that sunny sunshine vibe the Run Tingz crew add their tropical tastes for the first remix in the pack. Coming up close behind, Levela destroys with a jump-up remix to end late night dancefloor fatigue for good. Also doing his bit to keep it jumping early into the morning, J man's jungle edit is on a true junglist hype. Rounding off with the dutty original and an alt mix thrown in just because, you've just met your new favourite crowd pleasers.
