Review: Next up from the ever-ready Liondub International, a throwback filled to the brim with lethal flavours as Conrad Subs touches down to deliver four tracks of pure dancefloor fire. We open up with the unpredictable synthetic twitches and reesey rumbles of 'Rave Report', setting the tone of the project nicely before 'Dough' gives us a more minimal fusion of growling bass notes and sharpened drum designs. Next, 'Big Chungus' opens up the roof for an even harder hitting sub-line, upping the ante even further as we move forward, with Speaker Louis providing some additional work on the well thought out rhythmic arrangements of 'Shots Fired'. Another tidy collection from the Liondub dynasty.

Review: The road don't stop in Bristol. Flex 180 to the other UK coastal outlier for more inspo as cats in Anglia show us how it's done on the east side. There's some tasty names on board, too, as Damageman takes the lead with the big bruising 'Grey' before Conrad Subs freezes us in our track with an iced out grime-flavoured 'Version'. Elsewhere Flat T' brings dusty funk samples on the earth-flattening 'Freddie Got Fingered', JOE goes for that old school D*Minds vibe while Phaze One has us all in a soaking wet mess on 'Champion Tuneup' as a jump up wobbler turns into a lighter raising anthem. Big up all crews over the east side!

Real Dread EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: The most prolific man in drum & bass, Conrad Subs returns to Ray Keith's Dubplate Dread for the first time since 2020 with a humungous wedge of wallopers. Seven cuts in total, each one of them tailored for those magic 3am moments, big moments range from the gruesome growls and grizzles of 'Octavirus' to the pure raucous shreds and slaps of the title track 'Real Dread', a cut which really does live up to its name. Oh boy, this could well be Conrad Subs' mightiest EP so far, which is really saying something. Real talk.

Review: Conrad Van Orton drops a diverse, dance floor-focused release for Emerald. The title track is led by a dense, swaggering rhythm and features brooding chords. It makes for an intense, peak-time affair. Both "Overcloud" and "Power Nap" follow a similar approach, but they see Van Orton deploys swirling filters and musical hooks. While these elements are combined with heads down rhythms, they do make for deeper tracks. Spiralling acid lines are to the fore on "Use It Wisely", while Van Orton opts for a different approach with "Wishful Thinking". More stripped back than the other contributions, it's a murky, tribal techno workout.

Review: Having spent January appearing on numerous VA collections, Ipswich badman Conrad Subs charges into the new year with his first proper single, a meaty double header 'Lose It' and 'Whole Lotta Things' on Sub Heavy Audio. The former takes us east with its vocal sample and use of percussion weaving a mystic web of gully intensity while the latter goes for more of a straight-up early 2000s Bristol style grizzle. Big bubbly low end and slippery breaks that never let up. Both absolutely kill it. Shout to Subby each and every.

Review: Now here's a VA you can take home to your parents and be proud to show off your lifestyle to. Sure your ma might pull such a messed up bass face she tears a muscle in her jaw for life, your step dad might throw every single slipper out of the window and your neighbour might try and get the police to order you with an ASBO, but you'll be happy when you see everyone tearing up the living room the twisted grizzles and sizzles of Conrad Subs' 'Smash VIP' or ruining the beds by jumping up and down to the weird springs and pings of Shakez 'The Cause Of Death'. And that's only half of this amazing EP!

Review: Blimey Conrad Subs is on a mission this year. It's been non-stop roll-outs, rinse-out and slap-abouts throughout the year. Especially on his own label Koba Audio. Here's a great example. Following massive dispatches such as 'History Lesson' and 'Horizon Leans Forward' comes the second collection of 'Straight Up Jungle' work-outs. Big subby foundations, wild breakbeat funk, authentic grooves from the start to finish, highlights include the early Bristol-style bubbles of 'Rep', the super sweet funk and surprise drum fills of 'Like Honey' and the squiggly finale 'Over Sub'. Think Full Cycle and you're in the right ravey velodrome.

Review: The unstoppable Conrad Subs presents his second LP and it's a powerful collection that celebrates the timeless art of the album. Deep, dynamic and full of big surprises, it's his most consistent and hard hitting release so far. Opening with the epic emotions of 'Dream Sequence', he hurls us down a cinematic breakbeat rabbit hole, taking us along a whole range of vibes and styles that flex from the stunning Klute-like emotional hurricane 'Answers' to the Sub Focus-like dancefloor sweeper 'Helter Skelter'. Other highlights include the piano-tickling lament-fuelled 'No Matter', the techno influenced 'Temper' and the high voltage urgency of 'Ultraviolent'. An exceptional body of work.

Review: Buss out your brolly, grab your galoshes, wriggle them wellies; Sola are back on Nuusic, they're bringing their pals, and they really couldn't give a monkeys about the weather. A thoughtful, well-measured grizzly head-nodder, 'Dance In The Rain' sees them linking with long-time friend Jfal and MC-du-jour Freddy B. It sets the perfect scene for the rest of the EP: loveable jungle rogue Conrad Subs links in for the almighty 'Squeeze' AND a killer remix of 'Dance In The Rain' while Sola go solo for some addictive skanky panky on 'Ska Tissue'. Perfect, whatever the weather.

Review: Grab your mum's suede jacket. Grab your dad's leather jacket. Cut egg-shaped pieces from your dad's leather and stick them on the elbows of your mum's suede. Wear that badboy. Now you are a teacher and head of education Conrad Subs has mapped out your lesson plan. It starts with the blissful pianos and unified feels of 'History Lesson'. Hefty enough to carry you through your GSCEs, further items on the curriculum include Bristol / Dope Dragon history on 'Blowin' Up', the science of quantum travel with 'Better Late Than Never', Greek philosophy with the Aphrodite style bubbler 'Move It Bust It' before ending the day with a big old detention with the super naughty 'Baddest DJ'. Quiet in class please!

Review: Sub Heavy Audio keep things spinning with another volume of their Recycled VA series. Each cut primed for heavy wallopage - as you'd expect from the Sub Heavy crew - Damageman, Flat T, J.O.E and Conrad Subs all get stuck in with twisted bass textures and mischievous senses of funk. Highlights include Flat T's absolutely flattening 'Black Hole' and Conrad's wobbly grizzler 'Drop Top'. Run the tracks!

Review: Man like Guzi is all set to drop his album on Nuusic very very soon and these are the type of full-strength flavours you can expect from the man. A tempo-melting eclectic experience loaded with plenty of collabos, Goldstone Life will flex the full spectrum and this second sampler is proof. While the last sampler focused on some of the 140 style vibeage, this one focuses on some of the many high level link-ups he has in store. Conrad Subs brings some firing jungle energy on 'Selector', Epicentre gets stuck in with the big synth blazing tear-up 'Rate My Switch' while SuM tags in with a more hardcore-influenced blazer 'On Fiya'. Scorchio!

Review: Bubblers galore! Conrad Subs gets stuck in on Twist Recordings with two prime time slap-abouts. 'Champagne Roller' takes us back to a classic Bristol style ruffage sound; all stripped-back with aggy bass and skippy beats. It's pure straight-up funk. 'What The Streets Say' continues the theme with a gritter sense of attack and booming, plunging bass notes that hit at the just the right time. Of course, the streets actually say 'stop covering me with concrete and throwing your rubbish on me you muppets, you're killing the planet' but streets can't actually talk. Subs has done a fine job of translating for them here.
