Review: After some impressive outings by the likes of Monss, Alphaze and James Hiraeth, Norwich-based label Jumped Up are back this week with a riveting EP by two ascendant names on the scene. Leicester's Breakout joins label regular PSYCH (Will Swiers) on the jump-up throwdown of "Money Laundering" - get rich or die trying indeed! There's block rockin' party beats aplenty thereafter, as heard on the wonky stepper "Animated" which certainly has enough attitude to pack the dancefloor, followed by the darkside techstep roller "Disturbed" which harks back to the sound's heyday on the early noughties.

Review: A special dedication to the often maligned and misunderstood ghost and ghoul junglist communities, Psych and The Force pick up where they collaboratively left us on Ruffneck Ting a few months back. Four spooky sessions in total, each sings with the ghosts of drum & bass's strongest characteristics. 'Spirit' is straight up addictive Q&A jump-up fun, 'Secrets' blasts with some of the warmest organs we've heard since the early 2000s while "Mad Man" thumps with donkey punch kick drums and a croaky bassline that instantly recalls the jump up flavours of the late 2000s. Last but not least, 'Tardis' defies time and space with its higher-range harmonics and gully twists on each fill. Each one filthier than a travelling carnival's haunted house ride, these are bound to cause some serious bumps in the night.

Review: Regular on Jumped Up in recent months, Psych returns with another goodie bag of bangers. 'Tonight' takes the lead and hits hard with a big bouncy Macky Gee style riff and some excellent kickdrum rolls on every fill. It's backed by plenty more heaters; 'Caretaker' gets all switchy with its off-beat bass hook, 'Curfew' gets lairy with the dramatic horns, 'Lucky Escape' brings a little neuro fusion into the mix on the build ups while Stillz finishes off the EP with a euphoric dancefloor remix of one of Psych's earlier releases 'Loving You'. Loving this.

Review: With early support coming from the likes of Kenny Ken, Nicky Blackmarket and Mollie Collins, drum and bass debutants Psych & Jay Jay present this fierce four-tracker for Essex-based Good 4 Nothing. "Poison" is a proper jump-up throwdown sure to get those lighters in the air, with the wonkiest bassline you'll hear this year. Second offering "Eager" is a more restrained affair by comparison; this minimalist neurofunk trip is the proper underground flava you crave.

Review: Often spotted on Low Down Deep, D&B long-timer The Force links up with newcomer Psych for two hair-raising jams on Heist's Calypso. "Head Trip" lives up to its name. Spacious and tense, it's characterised by pranged drawn-out bass notes and eerie harmonics. Real creeper business. It's back up with "Feel Good" also has a telling title... But don't go expecting euphoria for nothing. Vibes as gutsy as this cost at least 10 disgusting bass faces. Where's nan when you need her?

Review: Now this is how you kick off a brand new year! Good 4 Nothing smash down the doors of 2024 with nasty intent as they rally up a squad of exciting new generation troops for this vividly titled VA 'Horrible'. Horrid highlights include the electrifying riffage and energy of Insightz' 'Danger', the howling textures and abrasive funk of Eski B's 'Gudunka' and the gamified drama and vibrancy of Flint's 'Heaven'. That's only three of the eight tracks on offer here as Good 4 Nothing leave us under no illusions as to how they want this new year to sound. Horrible times call for 'Horrible' music and we are here for it!

Review: Good 4 Nothing remains good for everything as they catapult themselves into 2023 with pure dubplate intention, teasing us with brand new heat from across their family of artists. 14 cuts in total, each one tickling a different underbelly of the D&B psyche, highlights range from Filthy Habits' loose-limbed grizzly opener 'In The Dark' to the final battle charge reese bass of Phadix's closing 'Forest Calls'. In between we have startling savage moments such as Fanatics' horn-melting wonky-leg 'Bebop', early 2000s flavoured riff gold on Breakbout's 'Over And Out' and pure wobble science on Lundy's 'Ride With Me'. And that's just the tip of this mighty iceberg.

Review: Ruffneck Ting are a label perfectly placed on the border between jungle and jump-up, and this EP from The Force displays their aptitude in selecting the best of both strains. It's a gentle, subtle yet damaging release, one which flows upon a bed of soul yet comes out with fists flying at the other end. 'Second Sight' has the type of funkiness that only reggae music can provide, with stabbing bass touches providing lift and sensation to its clattering, rough and tumble drums. 'Stop The Show' is heavier and has more weight packed behind its stuttering percussion, its bassline wonderfully bouncy and dripping with the sunny skies, eyes closed heritage of reggae and dub music. Wicked.

Review: 12 years and 50 releases deep, Kre & Friskie's Dub Damage mark the big five-oh with a series of preposterously heavy work-outs from their nearest and dearest. Always at the cutting edge of the dancefloor and jump-up sounds, this collection is no exception as we're bombarded by ruffage and damagement; the savage drum rolls and venomous riff on 'Mob Tactics VIP', Dreadnaught's thundering basses and breezy breakdown on 'Brickz Inna Mixer', OMT's sharp, snappy and intoxicating 'Krokodile' and Sola & Jfal's warped and wonderful 'Final Curtain' are just some of the heaving highlights. Life begins at 50...
