Review: 15 years. Has it really been 15 years since Focuz became part of all our lives? To celebrate, some of D&B's finest have come out to play, offering up slices of pure gold as their presents to us all. Kicking off with Lenzman's beautiful remix of Command Strange's "Rock Steady", legendary producer BCee also joins the party along with Scott Allen, Lynx, Enei, intelligent Manners, Malaky, and newcomers Soligen and Type-2 and many more, creating a very special celebratory get together indeed.

Review: Next up from the team at Fokuz, a system-rumbling display of grizzly flavour as Skoel touches down with four tracks of original D&B heat. We begin our deep-dive with '25 Connections' a very valid title track that links together hard hitting, rave-inspired lyricism with a box of devilish reese synths, giving us a steady yet sumptuous introduction. From here, the more minimal drum designs and skippy percussive pressures of 'Aqua' give us a thunderous follow up, with 'Job' then diving even further into murky waters to follow. We then close up the project with the sounds of 'Bad Trip', a monstrous display of reesey goodness, closing off the EP in typical techy style!

Review: A collection of gems from the deeper and liquid side of D&B here from the likes of Command Strange, Bachelors of Science and Scott Allen. Quadrant's "Expanse" gets the album started with crisp, metallic breaks, sweeping instrumentals and a warm, fuzzy bassline. We are taken through such moments as Gerwin's super slick, vocal-led cut "Floods (featuring Suree)", the bittersweet "A World Full Of Lies" from Smote & SoundNBeats and the hip-hop influenced swagger of Bachelors Of Science "Bounce". An excellent long listener, take this on a car journey with you and discover something new today.

Review: A second collection of Fokuz gems from the deeper and liquid side of D&B here from the likes of Technicolour, Well Being and Hybrid Minds among others. All 11 cuts here are more than worth checking out, from the blissful opener of "The Harp Tune" by Technicolour to the languid half-step of Well Being's "There's A Place" and RoyGreen & Protone's slightly more robust "Smoothie". An excellent long listener, take this on a car journey with you and discover something new today.

Review: Fokuz are one of the most consistent labels in the scene and have an illustrious history stretching back into the 1990s. They release a hell of a lot of music across the three labels under their umbrella and Farflow is the latest artist to appear on their schedule, his About Us EP showing off exactly what the label have made a name for themselves doing: combining soulfulness with an inner core of gritty low frequencies. 'Bliss Bliss' highlights this especially well, with an emergent melody of sultry piano chords and wispy pads that give way to a powerful, rolling tapestry of luscious drum & bass. 'Down Under' is down to earth and spacy in the pads, whilst 'About Us' is wonderfully deep, its introduction setting the tone for a breaks-led rendition of warped, vocal music. Bang on.

Review: BCee and Villem's Vanguard Project returns for the first time in 2023 and it's a full-range assault of the d&b loving senses. 'Adoration' is a gentle opener and almost Balearic in its guitar plucking charm. It's in good company - 'Isolation Station' keeps it jazzy and vibey, 'Just The Ticket' takes us back to the late 2000s/early 2010s Brookes Brothers sound while 'Sticky' plunges us deeper into the underground, rolling deep sound.

Review: UK-based producer Actraiser blends his frenetic, complex style to beautiful liquid backdrops in this stunning EP for Fokuz. Luckily, he's perfectly adept at blending both his high-energy beat-chopping and glorious, otherworldly harmonies, so the result throughout each track is pretty amazing. Sparkling with fresh, spritzy production and underpinned by deep rumbles of soft, velvety bass, there's textures upon textures upon textures, all waiting for listeners to diver right in.

Review: Come on, were you expecting anything less than sheer beauty from these guys? A collection of shimmering, hazy-toned tunes set to ready even the most pessimistic soul for a summer of gorgeous sun and good times, it's really something special. "Always Yours" shines on over glistening harmonies and crystal clear percussion, moving into funkier territory as "Wanna BE Your Lover" picks up a bassline to die for. "Something Special" continues that jazzy feel as guitar and strings collide to create a real soulful D&B gem. Finally, "One Touch" crashes back to present day with a boom, pushing crisp, clean production and melancholy melodies.

Review: Resident Dutch powerhouse Fokuz are back at it this week with the next piece of work from Sub:liminal, who has teamed up with previous label album HumaNature and Resurgence to craft something pretty special. The title track takes the cake, with a gorgeously soulful vocal that floats above a bed of gentle instrumentation, but it's the bassline that steals the show; a twisting, winding expression of low frequency force, and a lesson in how to craft something subtle yet heavy. There's more wispy ambience on 'Glass Fields' and 'With You', whilst Resurgence nails 'Stranger Tides' to finish off the EP in style.

Review: One of Fokuz's many success stories, Macca returns from his SGN adventures to the Dutch imprint with four evergreen work-outs. "Artifact", a sinewy stepper laced with an exquisite alien squirming b-line, sets the tone as "Intelligence" follows with a Critical-like thump-and grind wriggle and "What" shocks-out with a 1.21giggawatt high voltage bassline and some cracking rim shots. If that's not enough, he's also VIP'd the dickens out of last year's "Switch". Tunnelling business.

Review: If dreamy, ethereal, lullaby D&B is your thing then look no further than this release from Flowrian on Fokuz which epitomizes this certain strain of 170 - 175 bpm music. Ironically entitled "Back To Reality", this is a floaty excursion, with tripping breaks providing the backbone with twinkling SFX and soft pads. "Love In Your Eyes" is an equally enchanting piece with rippling keys, warm undulating bass and enunciated breaks.

Review: Expect stylish, pared down D+B to be emitted from this Basic Elements EP on Fokuz. Kredit blends a range of sounds together to make something truly spectacular across the four-track selection. First up is the title track, with its spaced out atmospherics, thumping drum kicks and unsettled, wavering tone. Next, we ponder over "What Is Life?" which is another blissed out offering with swaggering, low slung beats and a sparse soundscape. "Between Heart & Distance" is full of pattering drums, bleeps and clicks and segues nicely into "Quiet Stars" which completes the EP.
