Review: Remix time! Walking Dead switch up the stems with a straight up swap between two of its key protagonists. Eazy takes on D-Nasty's "Kapo" first; maintaining that addictive riff, he dives in with big groaning textures on the bass making it feel like it's being dropped on you from a space centre. D-Nasty returns the favour by taking "Time To Kill" to even more murderous plains than it already existed. Croaky.
Review: Following a streak of releases this year from Yatuza, Confusious and L-Kind, Weapons of Choice Recordings usher in their first compilation for the year in style. Looking to the remix for inspiration, Command Strange is first up taking on Confusious with a ragga-tipped, stepped-up, rave-rolling bomb! New kid on the block Lankzi goes 'back & forth' with a sweet vocal rhythm and workout of Conrad Subs's heavy original, with Quadrant & Iris perfectly liquifying Gunston's "Stay Real". With some horror themes and supernatural motifs taking over the atmospheric passages of FX909's Malicious, Molecular's remix caps off a fresh update of Weapons of Choice Recordings' fine back catalogue.

Review: This is a gorgeous collection of laid back vibes, which is totally soul soothing. The vibe of the EP seamlessly mixes, liquid, jungle and dub into one warm pot of remix loveliness. Standing out as one of our favourites is 'Early Morning (Treeex Remix)' with is soft flutes, piano and its warm, unassuming sub. 'Different' has been remixed twice on this EP and we're really feeling the Rvee cut which feels open, allowing us to hear the subtle pulsations and reoccurring drum crashes. 'Look at the Trees' has a real ethereal feel inviting us to float and observe the world from higher planes.
Review: Quadrant and Dabs switch it up on this split release on Citrus; first it's Dabs remixing Quadrant's "Only Mortal" and then it's vice versa. The former is all terse, punchy drums, dreamy ethereal pads and understated trance-like synths, falling into the main tune with a shudder of SFX and pound of drums. The latter is Quadrant's remix of Dabs' "Crawler" - crisp, stuttering beats are punctuated by hissing hi-hats and warping bass reminiscent of a Jubei release kicks in and dominates for the rest of the tune.
Review: You shoot, you score... Weapons Of Choice look back over the last two years of killer rollers and thumpers and recruit a rollcall of hurter-mongers for some updates. The seemingly ubiquitous Bou returns with a savage shakedown of Saxxon's "Weapons", L Side flips Simplification's "Awesome Days" into a crazy amen munching sea serpent, Redeyes adds some dreamy charm to Dave Owen's "Twin Stars" while Jayline gives Mr Explicit's "Funk Ya System" an absolute foghorning. Full El Dude Brothers business, this has the power of at least 100 truckers all learning on the horn at once. Shots fired!
Review: Now here's how you launch a label... Having established themselves with a few cheeky free downloads, DJ Zent and James Curtis's label Dreambassuk launches with two crisp remixes from man of the moment Teej. Both cuts from Zent's recent back cat, 'Johnny Relax' is given a savage, snare-rattling shakedown while 'Wills Myth' brings on the tension, creeping up on you so violently it could slap you on stage. Living the dream.
Review: This Cardiff/Brighton-based label call themselves Breeze but they're actually more of a typhoon in their energy and approach. It's been proved time and time again with hurricane releases from the likes of HYN, Dreadnaught, Formula, Parallel and many more exciting new names. Now, with a good few years of building their discography with exceptional new-gen talent, comes the remix EP. A whole load of the label's best and brightest, remixed by each other and fellow label kindred spirits. Highlights include Stuss's dramatic sledgehammer twist on Para's 'For You', Nautik's tense and grizzly take on Hyn & Pengo's 'Frequency' and Drowzee's head-twisted rhythm on his rub of 'Selecta'. Furious business. No airs or graces necessary.
Review: Juicy Fruit are back with a juicy, fruity number and on this occasion the production credits are going to K-Jah and S Man, both of whom have delivered very different but no less appealing slices of 170 goodness. K-Jah's remix of Wah Gwarn is rolling and vibrant, with a proper old-school feel the drums and some melancholic synths over the top to give it a slick vibe. S Man has taken things in a darker, more penetrative direction with his remix of What We Deal With, which skips along at a serious pace, pulsating and echoing basses fluctuating beneath. Top stuff.
