Sub:stance Recordings

Headed up by hotly-tipped producer and DJ Shulgin, Leeds-based sub:stance recordings’ release schedule reads as an encylopaedic who’s who of the best in fresh, upcoming talent: Bruk, DJ GAW, J Select, Manual, Dunk, StillZ, GLM, Tweakz, Gray, OB, all have passed through the cultivating sub:stance platform, excelling along the way on a wide variety of low-slung, aggressive drum & bass rhythms, available on individual projects, and on VA compilations like 2019’s fantastic ‘Controlled Substances Vol 1’. Guided by a pinpoint attitude to A&R and a natural instinct at both recognising and helping establish new-generational beatsmiths, sub:stance really has it all, and continues to prove its mettle with each passing, growling release. They’re just getting rolling in the industry at lightning pace, and there’s no sign of them slowing down anytime soon.

Review: Bruk is flying the flag of the UK's supremely confident jump-up scene with this excellent four-tracker over on Sub:stance Recordings, his tendency to isolate the key elements and focus on the basics being done with absolute effect. Manual features on the absurdly good 'Stand Up Tall', which packs murderous funk into its choppy arrangement, a collection of energy which coils like a loaded spring and then releases with aplomb. 'Say My Name' samples Destiny's Child's classic pop record but flips it into a devastatingly heavy collection of potent stabs and kicks. The second half of the record continues in the same vein and the results are predictably top class.
