Review: This is it! Trouble & Bass's final release... Going out on a high, Drop The Lime ties the many tendrils of his hugely influential imprint in one 25-track strong set. The result isn't just a celebration of T&B's successes, but the development of bass music at large and how it's irreparably dented US club culture for the better. Timeless highlights include AC Slater's epic speed garage slapdown twist of Mathhead, Supra1's jiggling wobblefest twist of Little Jinder and the proto-tropical fusions of The Boogaloo Crew. A genuinely historic document: high five to Trouble & Bass for all the good times.

Review: Biblical badness from T&B mainstays Doctor Jeep and Tony Quattro. Jeep goes in first with two stark originals; "Creator" pays homage to the big guy upstairs with an ace lesson in vocal splicing, gritty 4/4 pumps and epic snare rolls. "Torpedo" follows on a steppier, tribal vibe while Quattro closes the show with a sweet homage to both jump up D&B and ghetto-tek. Firing on all cylinders, T&B continue to lead rather than follow.

Review: Rah! Part Three of Nevermind's demi-techno for the incorrigible Trouble & Bass imprint. Nevermind picks up from where he left off with number two in the series, going in for the kills with four hybrid floor cuts. "Oooh" is a hearty peak-time monster boasting a rather ludicrous progressive bassline, while "Scratch" is more lo-fi and contained thanks to its garage swing. "Treehouse" is odder and floats between Chicago house and UK funky, and if you didn't think that was enough, you also get a deeper, more chugging and percussion-driven dub version of "Oooh". Part 4, anyone?

Review: We last heard from this New Yorker back in June, collaborating with MDME, now he's got round to rustling up a new solo release in the form of these three tracks, all of which dwell firmly on the dark side. "Angel" kicks things off with some brainmelting tech-hop (remixed into some brilliantly evil deep dubstep by Archive), "Control" samples Hot Streak's breakdance classic "Body Work" and welds it to some sinister tribal beats (remixed into some peak time wobbly bassline by Flava D) and "Grim Reaper" rounds things up with a relentless carnival-fuelled assault.

Review: Twisted dancehall vibes fresh from Liverpool, as Lucent teams up with Rubi Dan for a steppy shock-out that positively demands outrageous skanking behaviour. For added measure Lucent also teams up with Tomb Crew for a collaborative remix where Rubi's vocals get buried by a smouldering bouncy bass hook. Further on Klient Weight take "X-Rated" down a dark techno alley and turn it into a savage 4/4 bass-battered affair. Looking for more of a straight-up jack attack? Head for "Tunnel Vision". An uncompromising stomper with sinewy bass melodies, it's a kindly contemporised nod at the material Herve and Switch were serving up about seven years ago. Finally, Rico Tubbs jumps in on the remix flex with an old school homage, all time-stretched vocals, speed garage sirens and fractured amen angularities.

Review: San Francisco's Worthy drops a payload on the inimitable Trouble & Bass imprint in the form of two brand-spanking new belters. "Golden Fang" is a proper hybrid track if we ever heard one - deep, sweltering bass, 4/4 kicks and absurdly mutated percussion blend to create an all-out monster! "The MZ" follows in the same vein, where gnarly squelches and melodies are swollen by a heavy kick-snare framework. Killers, both of them!

Review: You can always count on Trouble & Bass to deliver the goods when it comes to filthy, gnarly dancefloor antics, and here Nevermind drops a two-track monster which jumps and kicks its way from half-step to techno with ease. The aptly named "Heckno" is one of the most creative tunes we've heard from the artist and it really is an amalgamation of all the UK's dance music melting pot, filled with nasty snares, 4/4 kicks and broken beat patterns. "Arrowloop" is even nuttier, though, as Nevermind proceeds to create a sort of ritualistic, 303-laden dance to the Gods. Seriously, check this stuff, it's pretty far out and comes heavily recommended!

Review: Rinse FM badboy Shox goes in for the kill on his latest outing for the always quality Trouble & Bass label. "Drone" is a perfect example of his style, which sits somewhere between UK funky, bass and 2-step; a rigid percussive pattern is engulfed by one mean flurry of low-end and a whole load of glitchy synth oddities, providing a killer for the dancefloor and headphones. The Sister remix is straighter, more to the point and backed by a broodingly gnarly repetition of kickdrums. Lastly, it's fair to say that "Pickup" is the housiest of the lot, where a stumbling 4/4 pattern is surrounded by sparse melodies and a 90s-inspired bassline. Boom!

Review: The one like Tony Quattro returns to Trouble & Bass with a scorcher of a three-tracker. We don't really know how to describe his sound apart from absolutely banging - all three tunes are total winners but the prime cut has to be the title track, which features a jittering, gnarly, oscillating electrolyte bassline penetrating through the mix like a dagger. Check it!

Review: This is the third installment from New York's Doctor Jeep, and it's clear that he's still very much enthralled with UK bass culture. This is none more evident than on "Eccies", coming across like the kind of sleazy rave made by Zomby in his early days. "Vortex" is tropically trippy wobble, "Flash Area" is all digital tribal beats and "Dopamine" is like a hybrid of all the above with added vocoder weirdness. Dope!

Review: We're not that sure that the underground ever really went away, but Trouble N Bass regular AC Slater insists it did and now he's back to make the point clear. It's a stonking EP that flings us about in a rollercoaster of tough bassness: "Out Here" is a peak time, 4x4 hip-house banger that's positively pulsating with wobble, "Donkey Shake" flirts with breaky dubstep and ghetto house, while "Gunplay" is accelerated dubby bounce. Finally "LMLY" is a thrilling hybrid of '90s speed garage and contemporary urban bass. Epic!

Review: This is Damn Kids second release for Drop The Lime's Trouble & Bass imprint, so they must be doing something right! As you might expect this EP is all about the bass action: "Worthless" being a prime example of slow building urban tropical with extra claustrophobic atmospherics for good luck. The VIP mix sees footwork frenzy meet a chilled RnB breakdown and "Tyledon" mixes 4x4 with a bit of wobble bass for some nasty dancefloor business.

Review: It's pretty fair to say that our Tony likes New York. A lot! This latest arrival from the on-fire Trouble & Bass imprint eschews the hazy trapisms of recent releases and goes for the party jugular. Pumping and housey, "New York Anthem" features some of the deepest bass frequencies know to man. For "Forth & Seek" Quattro enlists the help of Doctor Jeep and B Ames for some saucy breakbeat mayhem.

Review: Ah the 90s! seems like it was only yesterday. Everyone's been riffing off 90s retro lately, but none have been so bold as to sample The X-Files theme. No one until the arrival of the shady Strange VIP that is! "Funeral At Sky Mountain" takes Mulder & Scully's eerie backing music, loops it and adds some smoky trap beats to hypnotising effect. Elsewhere we get the apocalyptic synth-brass-fest that is the hip-hop-ish "Back To H3ll", the death metal influenced "Take Me From Heaven", the orchestral bombast of "When I Die" and the intense strings n beats darkness of "No One Left".

Review: Atlanta's Distal caps off a stellar year with a release from the ever on point Trouble & Bass imprint. The title track features frenetic whip crack footwork mechanics bolted onto high-pressure bass, while "Green Lantern" sees the producer experiment with dirty Southern hip-hop styles, as triumphant horn solos are combined with monstrously detuned vocals, while "Cheery Red" does the same, combining a brittle 808 flex and organic percussion with its sliced up vocal collage. Finally, star of the contemporary ballroom scene MikeQ steps up to remix "Green Lantern", transforming the trap style original into a linear house banger, filled with razor sharp vocal delivery and ravey house stabs.

Review: What a wicked way to end the year... Drop The Lime's label are celebrating six years in the business and their best year yet for releases. And they're not doing it by patting themselves on the back or re-hashing their best moments. No; they've paired up their favourite artists for some serious unique collabo freakery. Each one of these demands attention but the haunting house hip-hop of Deathface & Lil Internet, the stripped back n' sexy booty bass of Star Eyes & UFO and the cosmic bass wizardry of Zombies For Money & Slap In The Bass. A damned fine collection.

Review: Rinse FM's dark dubstep/grime and garage hero returns with a new seven tracker on Trouble & Bass, "Bad Like Us" is pure SL-2 'On A Ragga Tip" retro hardcore rave featuring MC Doctor. "Senate" couldn't be more different: being a cool and slick orchestral hip-hop number. "Pwnd" goes darker and slower: featuring buzzy bass drones and sparse beats. Finally MC Doctor returns to wrap things up with "Rebel Music" which is a synthy lighters-in-air anthem.

Review: Now here's an interesting business proposition... Find some zombies, find a buyer, sell the zombies, get some money. No doubt there's a lot of legal ramifications to endure but if it works for Navajo and Drop Top, it works for us too. Naturally this track acts as a great zombie selling theme tune; the sprightly high-end riff notating your every transaction, bleep and screaming as you get busy on the cash register. With cool snippets taken from George Krantz "Din Daa Daa" and short-but-powerfully sweet drop, this is yet another fine DJ tool from Drop The Lime's ever-reliable Trouble & Bass imprint.

Review: With several releases for Trouble & Bass under their belts, Ursa Major return with another EP of lean, stripped back bass. The title track balances a churning dubstep bassline with sharp garage rhythms and warm keys, coming across like the perfect blend of classic dubstep and futuristic broken rhythms. "Test Match" meanwhile is characterised by its rigid percussive rattle and deep techno stabs, and will go down well with those who like their bass music sparse, rolling, and dark - recommended.

Review: The first Heavy Bass Champions release of 2012 from the venerable electro-club label Trouble & Bass sees Bristol's Kenji Kinetic finally dropping some originals after a standout remix of Drop The Lime. On "Jinx", Kenji rocks a fierce mid-130s tempo and switches brilliantly between a dry, Bmore beat and a thick, bassy beat. "NWO" bears more grime influence, while "Frontier" goes on an all out Rustie-style half-step odyssey.

Review: Those keen on easy pigeonholing and laboured genre tags will have a hard time pinning down this EP from the delightfully monikered Zombies For Money. The "Sun" version of "Indonesia", for example, smashes together fragments of brain-warping tropical drums, ravey riffage and a traditional Indonesian vocal. The "Moon" version, meanwhile, eschews the touchy-feely rave synths in favour of sphincter-destroying wobble bass and ragging acid reminiscent of early Meat Beat Manifesto. "Jakarta", meanwhile, sounds like Orbital's "Remind" for the 21st century post-dubstep generation, while "Puncek Jaya" speeds off on a tropical/garage fusion tip (with the addition of some strange voodoo flute solo action). Utterly bonkers.

Review: The inimitable chunkiness of the Trouble & Bass stable come to bear once more on Little Jinder's pop sensibilities after something of a three year gap, making for a ramshackle but on-point nugget of a single. The slow-paced electro of the original has a definite penchant for 80s chart busters, which Starkey neatly slices up for a kinetic slice of thoroughly modern dubstep. Deadboy gets some euphoric piano and string stabs going in his summery take, and Distal takes a lighthearted breakbeat approach with his usual jukey drum fills. Colourfully diverse from start to finish.

Review: The latest in T&A's long-running series of exclusive electro-bass nuggets sees crew member AC Slater deliver two fine examples of fired-up, late-night delights. "Full Power" makes great use of a pitched down vocal on the drop into a stew of slowly rising synths, nicely underscored with some acid-influenced beats. "Hip-Hop Drop" hits the spot even harder with some frenetic tropical drums anchoring a k-hole inducing set of pitched-down pads and sparkling techno chords.

Review: Gathering together the best of NYC's alternative producers for this exclusive five track collection, Trouble & Bass pick the right names to show off the city's progressive side. Label boss Drop The Lime updates The Ramones on "Bourbon Blitz", giving it a subtle tip of the hat via some electro snares and Tex-Mex guitars, while Kingdom keeps things typically fascinating on "Uptown Buck" - delivering a brutally stripped-down kicks and vocals feast. Elsewhere Hussle Club take their cues from the CBGB's, while Cubic Zirconia deliver a tripped out acid freakdown with the beautiful "Lucid In The Sky".

Review: The eponymous track of the EP starts with a cavernous, echoing soundscape with bleeps flitting between gentle percussion and chopped up Ramadanman-style vocal. Developing into a positively piquant piece with dramatic strings and wallowing bassline, it segues nicely into "With You" - a more synth-drenched cut, steeped in heavy late night moodiness and underpinned by murky subs. "Crab Apple" is a more stripped back, gently pulsing 4/4 affair and "Congo" rounds things off in style bringing a funky edge in to the EP.

Review: After 14 blinding releases, the Trouble & Bass crew have compiled the best of the bass for this collection of original releases from their epic series of gonzoid-electro bangers. From the snakey Dutch leads of Drop The Lime's "Doomsday Device" to the hardcore dubstep tweaks of "Days Go By" by Boogaloo Crew, this is a must-have for anyone who missed out on the earlier Champion releases. Rico Tubbs and Calvertron are to be found in typically ravey form on "Body Free", while Baobinga mixes nasty rap verses with bassline beats on "Make It Drop". With AC Slater, Mumdance, Samo Sound Boy, Marc Remillard and Zombies For Money also included, this is an essential collection of the finest bass beats out there.

Review: Nottingham's Tomb Crew continue to impress with this fierce, fast and highly funky trio of tunes out on Trouble & Bass. The pacey 4/4 stomp of "Oh So Good" is destined to become a DJ favourite - a rude crossover between house rhythms and dubstep/UKF sounds, while the Mantronix tribute "King Of The Tweets" pinches that immortal siren sample and adds it to a post-hardcore set of rave pianos and pads. Staying on a early 90s hardcore vibe, "FIYT Night" rocks the "Think" break and adds some heavenly synth-strings to round off an excellent release from T&B.

Review: This latest instalment of Trouble & Bass' series of exclusives sees man of the moment Samo Sound Boy take the helm - dropping two newies that'll reinforce his standing as one of America's hottest electro-rave producers. "Rattlesnake" is straight-up huge: a menacing mix of Dutch house-style bleep leads that ride the octaves over a switching set of tropical kicks. "Burning and Stealing" goes in for a more jacking, post-Chicago flavour, using heavily reverbed soul vocals and filtered horns to create something highly unique and constantly surprising.

Review: Four huge funky/garage house tunes come out of their corners fighting on this latest volume of Trouble & Bass' EP series. Label boss Drop The Lime kicks things off in style with the clattering snares of "Thwomp Stomp" - one of the most apt names for a tune in a long time. While DTL's contribution is kept deliberately bare, Baobinga's "Make It Drop" is riddled with looped hip-hop vocals, with the beat cutting perfectly into a half-step for the verses. Star Eyes & Pharaoh lace "Cry Baby" with female vocals and plenty of low-filter bass, while the chopped and pitch-shifted vocals of Jay Robinson & Supabeatz's "Screech" is probably the highlight - thoroughly unique sounds and as funky as hell!

Review: Trouble & Bass finally stop teasing the music buying public and unleash Drop the Lime's sax bass anthem "Sex Sax". Anyone who has seen Luca DTL play one of his ubiquitous DJ sets will instantly recognise the sax sample in "Sex Sax" which is wrapped in inimitable heavy bass lines, pounding drums and topped off with cheeky wolf whistles and aya caramba vocal samples. This being Trouble & Bass there are a slew of quality remixes that fit all parameters of house music. Reborn UK garage don MJ Cole drops a typically sub heavy 2 step take which is matched in the speaker worrying stakes by Bart B More's take on the track. Grizzly boss Sinden excels here, being confident enough to cut out the sax altogether and instilling a real tropical flavour thanks to some steel drums and dreamy synth stabs.

Review: Luca Venezia's Trouble & Bass imprint touch down in Australia for the sixth edition of their jetsetting Heavy Bass Champions Of The World Series calling on Melbourne's resident mutant funkateers Acid Jacks. The duo last appeared on the heavy bass loiving label in 2007 with the party house of "Mookie", and this EP certainly marks a progression in their sound, albeit one that still retains their love of the acid house sound. First up is an extended rework of live favourite "Crazy Legs", last seen on the T & B Scion sampler, with the Prince meets DJ Pierre 303 carnage being extended by a full four minutes. "Acid Hits All Night Long" combines early acid house jack with percussive elements of Baltimore club music and vocals reminiscent of Detroit Grand Pubahs. "Jerked" finishes proceedings with a throbbing lysergic exercise in dancefloor simplicity.

Review: A heavy dose of fidget-influenced fun on this fourth volume of Trouble and Bass's EP series, this time provided by Russian producer Anton Triplet. First track "Derty Beatz" couldn't be more perfectly named, the bass on it is frankly bone-rattling! But it's sophisticated as well as thoroughly pounding, with some huge filter sweeps and punchy drums. "The Story of Love" is equally jacking with a huge garage style bassline and a rising sweep-synth breakdown that'll make your hair stand on end. With squelch-tastic last tune "Bassline" rounding off the EP, this is most certainly a treat for fans of dirty ghetto house of the highest order.
