Ragga Party Jams Vol 9EXCLUSIVE
Review: Soundclash-level battle booties abound as Dirty Dubster dish out another Ragga Party Jams collection. Iceone's "Hump Around" takes the vocals of House Of Pain's sure-fire party smasher "Jump Around" and lay them down of a Toots style reggae groove. "Why Me", meanwhile, takes Cuban Links and introduces him to a laidback dub funk lick (complete with neat references to Cutty Ranks). Elsewhere Bluntskull takes Nine's "Wutcha Want" and throws it down over a vibrant skanking jam while Subtifuge concludes proceedings with a jittering, juicy upbeat D&B blend that features a distinctive Eek-A-Mouse style vocal. Battle business guaranteed.
Ragga Party Jams Vol 7EXCLUSIVE
Review: The Dirty Dubster crew return with a bumper seventh volume of their ragga party jams, and true to form, they mash up ragga with other contemporary styles with considerable style. F-Block's "Jah Bone" combines all manner of echo-laden dub guitar with filthy dubstep bass, while Wood N Soo's "Smoke 2 Joints" is a contemporary update on The Toyes' classic, filling it with rolling snares and powerful low end. Subtifuge's "Love 4 U" is a slightly more skanking effort, with rolling D&B rhythms completely at odds with its laid back mood, while DJ Tzinas' "Wicked" combines a horn sectiona and tropical acoustic guitar with some serious dub airhorn - big stuff all round!
Subtifuge feat Khari Kill
Review: Velvet version business, Portsmouth skanker Subtifuge teams up with renowned toaster Khari Kill for an instantly recognisable riddim burner. Remix-wise Danny T crisps up the drums with more emphasis on the highs, Jamie Bostron gets busy on a firing and funky jump up feeling while Token Selekta taps the track back into a timeless jungle idea with some superbly edited amens. One for the Headz.

Review: Portsmouth's Totally Dubwise Records are back with Dan 'Ganja Dadda' Subtifuge for some proper dancehall vibes; raise ya lighter in the air if you dig it! On the Kalung Kalung Riddim EP he serves up "Call Me A Rasta" featuring Blackout Ja's gravelly vocal talents which makes you just want to get blazed and get down. "Turn Out Dem Lights" features Margaman on this low slung and hazy soundclash while you'd best have the right sound system for "Take A Lift" featuring Ponchita who wonderfully represents the underrepresented ladies of the ragga sound. It one Jah!
Subtifuge feat Mr Williamz
Review: Subtifuge's debut on Irish Moss is here. A hip-swaying, big-toking Ganja anthem sure to have lighters raised and heads nodding, the one and only Mr Williamz delivers sweet vocals while Subtifuge's original goes for a huge steppin' riddim. Remixes come from Canadian Jungle don Marcus Visionary, Scotland's finest J. Bostron providing a huge amount of extra jungle fire power on this release, while Dirty Dubsters slow things down to a half-time reggae riddim. Lift up ya can in salute and get moving!
Review: Get that summer zing back with Subtifuge, whose sunkissed sounds come straight from the heart of Kingston. You'd never guess he was from Portsmouth. Vintage jungle and ragga blend together in the title track while sweet reggae vocals smash it perfectly with light-hearted dubby bass bringing out a cheeky vibe. On the other side, "Lick Di Plum" brings more of that trademark naughtiness with a fun and funky skanked out sound and raspy ragga vocals. Plenty to get your move on to.
Review: Serious hard-stepping sounds from the Advisory Manchester connection on this set of jungle-inspired large ones. Take it back to the old school with "Schoolboy", an instant classic with the pedigree to carry it far or revisit your youth with "Dubwave Anthem", a tune that epitomises summertime all-nighters and renegade ways. "Some Choon Fi De Gyal Em" gets things rolling and final tune "Pass the Tu Shen Peng" rocks some laid-back vintage reggae vibes. Get skanking.

Review: A pristine riddim release from the TDR crew. Mowty Mahlyka's beat treatment is clean, fluid and fine-tuned for the warmer months while King Sammy's conscious lyrics flow like lava, wrapping around the beats with charm, though and - at one point - a cheeky little nursery rhyme. Versions par excellence include Danny T's digidub stepper, the highlife sun-splashes of Max Rubadub's shaker and Jamie Bostron's balls-deep jump-up D&B slammer.
Max RubADub ft Dark Angel - "Rubadub A Rule" (feat Dark Angel - Turntable Dubbers remix) - (3:45) 176 BPM
Review: Signing out 2016 in style: Totally Dubwise follow up their successful Riddim Up collection with another full-spectrum compendium featuring all firm family faces. Fresh versions abound from moody, gully darkness ("Versitality Dub", "Struggle") to rushed-out party skankers ("Party All Night", "Money Friend") to sultry sunrise horn-blazers ("Temptress Riddim") via out-and-out bounce attacks ("Police Officer") ensuring this album not only documents the strength and creative clarity of the label but every member involved, too. Serious firepower.
Review: One of the UK's most distinctive toasters, Bristol's Blackout Ja and his grit-throat tones instantly and consistently warm (or mash) up the dance. Five versions in all; Escape Roots provides two takes - one stripped back, one skanky. Label bossman Subtifuge twists up a slink digidub dance while D&B damage comes from two sides; Shorsh brings the bubbles while Bostron brings the punch. Get mashy

Ted Ganung feat Jah Defender
Played by: Ted Ganung
Review: Spoil yourself with six alternative versions of Danny T's summer vibin' Dreader Than Dread. Bim One strips the mid range and focuses on the lyrical, low end and percussive content of the track while the Dirty Dubsters live up to their name by mugging up the mix for something far more filtered. The real deep electronic vibes come from Jinx's dub, before bringing the track to life with a funky bassline - and the tablas come out in Tradesman's remix! For all the junglists there's Subtifuges rework and don't forget the riddim version for that instrumental alternative.
