Review: Low Down Deep sister imprint Subway Soundz rallies up the new-gen gang for some future-focused funk and fury on this walloping VA 'Technology'. Vibes are set to max the minute the drama of Deuce & Breakout's 'Listen Up' oozes through the speakers. What proceeds is a hectic weave of contemporary D&B dynamics; D-Minus dusts off the pipes of the theatrical 'Into The Jungle', Clikvork gets weird like a young Hazard or Tyke on 'Trapped' while Tempa & Hetsu flip Lundy's 'Love Me Down' into the sludgiest, greasiest groove Subway Soundz have ever heard. All this and plenty more, we well and truly have the 'Technology' right here. Welcome to the future!

Review: Hey hey, it's Jay Jay! Returning to Subway Soundz once again - after a brief excursion or two on Octave and RIQYardrock - here he lays down the EP of his life in the form of 'Resistance'. Six tracks heavy (including a collab with Kenji), every cut hits hard in Jay Jay's unmistakable uncompromised way. Highlights include the croaky one note funk of 'Gangster', the slithering, alien worm-like groove of 'Ready' and the utterly euphoric jolt to the senses that is 'Move' but that's only half the EP... The whole thing is absolutely slamming. Trust us, this 'Resistance' is most definitely not futile!

Review: Do not be fooled by this artist's name. We're not sure on much background information, but whoever Average is, they're most under-selling themselves... A powerful, dynamic, jump-up album based on Greek mythology does not come from an average place! Absolute heaviness and history fused and entwined with pure grot and filth; highlights include siren-like urgency of 'Poseidon', the sci-fi drama of 'Athena', the high pitched rifle riffage of 'Apollo' and the alarming energy and rawness of the ultimate finale 'Zeus'. Definitely not average material from Average.
Review: Fresh from his recent dispatch on Majistrate and Nu Elementz' Bites imprint, Baker now lays down two slabs of jump-up on Subway Soundz. First up is 'Immortal', a spiky weave of classic stabs over some razor sharp beats. It's backed up by a killer collabo, too. Forget the butcher and the candlestick maker, Slipz is actually the man for Baker right here as together they make a supreme sounds on 'Mofo'. Hype-fuelled, energetic and heavy enough to crush every mofo in a 50 mile radius, Baker's cooking up a storm here!

Review: Clarkey gets busy on Subway with some of his sharpest jams to date. 'Captain Needa' sets the pace with its needle-like bass stabs and tense electrical surges. The energy remains up top throughout; 'Fate' plays with a smouldering vocal hook before going full neon lasers and a super dreamy breakdown while 'Euphoria' plays the long game with a massive build up that teases throughout the track while 'World Is Ending' brings the EP to a triumphant finale with its murderation sample and a strident sense of drama. Duck and cover.

Review: We now get to jump into a real treat from the Subway Soundz squad, welcoming Alphaze inside for five pieces of new school jump up heat. We begin with 'Effective' alongside Magenta, a crunchy roller, focussing on simple yet catchy basslines and nostalgic vocal cuts, before 'Next One' ups the bass with more subby squelches. From here, D-Flex arrives with a vibrant display on 'Trouble', a monstrous original that is likely to tear the dance to shreds, with Froidy's additional production punches of 'Tipped Off' giving us a secondary gut puncher. Finally, the pressure reaches the maximum bubbling point as the grizzly LFO sweeps of 'Talk Bout' gives us one final dosage of bassy goodness, putting the final touches on this wicked selection.

Review: It's a great time to be a Corrupted Mind fan. Following a slew of grizzlers on YANA comes this three-piece power-up on Subway Soundz. 'For The Rave' is exactly what the title states. Big laser-blasing riff mischief with a trippy breakdown while 'T-Up' goes full-on bouncy ball bass with sudden fills and glitches. For a final KO punch 'Asteroids' goes supernova. Growling reese switches, a cool sample and a white-knuckled pace. Ready for take off?

Review: Kenji juices up the rockets for a cosmic trip around the solar system's most far-out jump-up planets on 'Galaxies'. Co-pilots on this mission include Warhead, who navigates between meteor showers and space debris on the warped and twisted 'Galaxy' and the laser-blazing 'Real Deadly', and Magenta who spins us around Jupiter just for the pure devilry of it. Elsewhere Kenji flies solo on the super grotty and dark 'Clear'. Ready for take-off?

Review: Sub-liminal bossman Agro jumps aboard the good ship Subway Soundz with this feisty five track bass attack. The title track 'Discombobulate' sets the scene with its tunnelling subs and steam roller style funk. It's backed up by a whole load more goodies as the Brighton badsmith gets busy over a wide spectrum of gully grooves that range from scatty bass burps and chiselled two-steps ('Bumba Red') to utterly frazzling wobbles and bashy steps ('Stepper Irie') Keep it together.
