V Recordings

Few record labels can claim to have changed the face of their respective scene. However, V Recordings, started in 1993 by Bryan Gee and Jumping Jack Frost, can confidently say that they have done just that. Never swayed by fashions, fads and sub-genre divisions, V Recordings has been a benchmark for quality since the very beginning, and have bought through artists such as Roni Size, Krust, Die, Dillinja, and most recently L-Side, Alibi and Sl8r.

Roni Size - "It's A Jazz Thing" (Electric Boogie mix) - (6:01) 153 BPM

Lemon D - "I Can't Stop" - (6:13) 159 BPM

Played by: Buck Lee, Dr Meaker, The Ragga Twins

Review: V Recordings do some of the best compilations in the business and their brand new Foundation series is a natural recognition of that fact. They're not being hyperbolic with the usage of the term 'Foundation' either, because this is truly an overview of some of the scene's most foundational producers. Old-school Dillinja, Krust, Roni Size and DJ Die, amongst others, make up the roster of acts that formed an integral part of the genre back in the day. The new crew is also represented, however, in the form of L-Side, Think Tonk, Nasza Linez and loads more, all of whom bring some of that V-style heat. Wicked album - one for the heads.

Roni Size - "All The Crew Big Up" - (5:19) 159 BPM

Dillinja/Bryan Gee - "Bad Man" (Amen mix) - (5:09) 159 BPM

Review: V Recordings: A genus source for drum and bass, the launch pad of so many great careers it's not worth counting and still a consistent source of forward-thinking beats. If any label can justify five volumes of back-cat badness, it's Bryan Gee's. Going right back to 1993 (Roni Size's "Timestretch"), we whistle, rattle and roll past some of the label's (and scene in general's) titans. Dillinja is repped hard with an array of discography highlights such as the shattered amen attack plan ("Bad Man"), Krust is paid in full with cuts such as the minimal muscle roller "Set Speed", jungle godfather Sappo reminds us of real old school with "Into The Light" while Future Cut's later-era "Prophecy" is rewound to great effect. And that's just five of the album's 21 chapters. A must read document for junglists old and young.
