You're Dead EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: We hate to break the news to you but, as doctors R!PT!DE and Ghee-K have officially confirmed: 'You're Dead'. Putting this 'ahhhhhhhhhh' into RIP, mourning will be rolled out in a series of super freaky, ultra sleazy, mega leftfield sound designs and textures. From the regimentalist solider orders of 'Rojah' to trippy, broken-spring finale fire of the title track 'You're Dead', this is one exceptional collection. Time to put your affairs in order.

Review: Bladerunner back on Philly Blunt baby! You already know this one is going to be special. Two massive cuts laced with big V funk and exciting, unpredictable twists, 'The Chronic' is an immense piece of work that's just as much disco as it is jungle thanks to some lavish synth blasts mid-way. 'Straight Up' goes for something even ruffer as the main bassline revs up a storm like a can of coke on your bike's back tire. Grizzly ain't even the word, this is savage. Go on Bladerunner!

Review: Nick The Lot on Low Down Deep... Now this is a treat for the senses! Watch and learn as the Brighton bandit hurls out some of his most disgusting textures and techniques possible. 'Big Bad Bass' sets the scene with its oddball noises and sudden turbo synth thrusts. Unpredictable, weird and never taking itself too seriously, the rest of the EP is a riot and highlights come firing left and right and centre - 'Bermuda Triangle' is one of the most bonkers thing NTL has ever done while 'Waccy Baccy' melts us down to a psychedelic mess for the finale. More than your lot.

Review: Nu Elementz and Majistrate's Bites imprint hits the big five-oh right here with this heavyweight four-tracker from jump-up rising star Steryx. Following his 'Gas Pedal' EP on the label late last year, once again it's an all-out stamp session as he flings out some premium uncut grot. High frequency funk can be found on 'Self Destruct', weirdo wobbles and trippy twists are lurking in the shaows of 'Warmed Up' while absolute tear-up lunacy is coded into the heart of 'Twisted'. As for 'Witch Hunt'? Well buy it, download it, burn it to CD and chuck it in lake and find out. If it drowns, you'll get done for littering so be careful.

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: From Belgium with love: Obbley joins the gang on Vibe Chemistry's Make Your Era and lays down four utterly savage twisters. The title track is your straight up Belgium fare - big lasers, bigger grot, endless rampant energy. Elsewhere 'Where To Go' takes us to church with its falsetto vocals and soul-shivering feels while Hamses and Shifu join the fray for two collabos. The former on the face melting laser lasher 'Cold Killer', the latter on the sci-fi drama of 'Rebels'. Chant your pants off. What a package.

Review: It's official, Eatbrain have now officially eaten all of the brains and have moved onto eating the entire world. Pure domination and 'Divergence' is the sound track. Now on their fifth volume (which is so big it's split into two parts), this edition features a dizzying range of artists from Aggressor Bunx to Sola to Current Value to Gydra and an insane amount more across 19 tracks. Highlights include the ravey twist of MNDSCP's 'Grumbler', the sensual vocal element and raw strings of 'Tusk' by Volatile Cycle and Dropset and the pure swagger of State Of Mind's 'Fall Forward'. But that's just three of a humungous set. Dig deep and diverge!

Review: Whenever we see the 1985 Music banner sailing into port, we know we are in for a good time, especially when it carries goods of the level of these from VIsages, who continues to impress with another killer 4 track drop. We open up with the title track 'Dol Guldur', a gnarly fusion of metallic bass tones, neurotic drums and spiced up vocals, followed by Snowy's high energy vocal performance on 'Evidently', a serious grimey throwback. Next, the more ethereal vocal slides and mind-melting synth pads of 'Panacea' flip the themes of the EP right on their head, with a killer vocal appearance from Killa P on 'The Most' giving us the final dash of juice to round this EP off in serious style.

First up is a VIP of L-Side's already flattening remix of Krust's 'Not Necessarily A Man' before Alibi and A-Audio go toe-to-toe on the soulful bruiser 'Middlemen' where a big funk sample gets battered into submission but an equally stunning Reese.

Review: Rumour has it our kid Harls named this EP 'Circular' after the A406 North Circular ring road around London. Word on the street is that he named it after the shape of his favourite coin (a 10p). Frankly we don't care either way. Not when the music's as vibey as this. Once again flexing his deeper, more leftfield side, highlights include the woozy introspective wonk of 'Bring Me Down', the smoking 140 sizzles of 'Close Your Eyes' and the interesting momentum, twists and cool neck-snap funk of 'New Direction'. The dreamy-but-punchy title track has a lot of sass to it, too. You'd be loopy not to jump on this Circular.

Review: Usually known for more jumpier takes on D&B - especially with his 2Ton project - Corrupted Mind follows up the Jungle Jam single with a full EP of the same gully, uncompromised and blistering breakbeat jungle style. Each cut gnarlier than the last, Nuusic's signature fizzy energy has been reimagined in an exciting way as CM goes in on all the little details: 'Rinse Out' comes with serious tension, 'Murder Tune' is all about the militant percussion while 'War Cry' is just pure bassline aggression.

Review: The crew over at Subway Soundz have packed a serious box of weapons into this new drop, welcoming the enigmatic production abilities of Jay Jay inside for five rave-ready rollers. First up, 'No Drama' takes a high pitched synth screech and fuses it with gnarly LFO slides to match, before Blackhry arrives on 'Black Smoke' for a more abstract link, focussing on unique drum designs and super choppy rhythmic twitches. Next, pure jump up heat as the belching synth crunches of 'Atomic' and speaker-jamming subs switches of 'Rejected' provide back to back punchers, with the slapping drum arrangements of 'Radiation' bringing us to a cool finale. Nice!

'Big Talk' takes the lead with a big old b2b2b in the studio as Kubbie, TS and Minor Forms all get mucky in the action. Elsewhere 'The Imposter' goes for a classic wormy bassline tension, 'Trippin' is pure filth laced over scattershot drums (with more filth thrown in for good measure) while 'Sullied' closes the EP on a pranged out drone tone.

All jokes aside, Doctor Roberts is not actually your typical healthcare professional. He'll cure you but it'll be with dutty bass and high energy tear-ups rather than medicines or modern science. The toxic waste electro thrills of the title track will have you doing dancefloor surgery, cutting up the place with your sharp moves.

The last time was the epic 'Emotions' on Dub Shotta but now the Bristol badman is back with this crucial BoujeeBass debut. Naturally every track hits with a crunch and crisp riffy groove, ranging from the belligerent techy bite of the lead track 'Curves' to the more cosmic, futuristic 'Spell' which hits like a modern version of a Nero and Drumsound & Bassline Smith collabo. Elsewhere rampant tear-ups like 'Nasty' and 'Take Me Away' add all the spice you need for the season. Get curvy.

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'.

Delivered in 10s over five different themes from classics to remixes to floor-scorchers, the end result is an excitingly varied and feisty 50-strong spread of drum & bass perspectives where vibes range from Conrad Subs' utterly gully jungle vibes on his remix of Sl8r's 'Facking Jungle M8' to the thundering dancefloor wallops of Cliques' remix of the label bosses 'Pico De Gallo'. No strong is left unturned throughout the collection as we're just as like to be refreshed by liquid (Pyxis & Maykor's 'Guardian Angel') as we are flattened by venomous, laser-kissed neuro blasts (ICU's remix of 'Rip The Roof Off') Crash bang wallop what an album.

Review: Buckle up, because Particle is taking us on one wild ride with his latest album "Pyro" on Critical Music. This 10-track juggernaut is a full-throttle excursion through the gnarliest terrain of jungle and drum & bass. Right from the jump on the opening cut, Particle flexes his funky bassline muscles to get things properly greased up. But don't get too comfortable - by the closing VIP remix he's dropped the hammer and has the whole thing redlining in the most deliriously unhinged way. This is an artist operating at the peak of his powers, seamlessly blending classic jungle/D&B fundamentals with meticulously futuristic production chops. There's something for the old-school heads and fresh recruits alike on this album. Longtime jungalists will get misty-eyed over the cavernous subs and proving garage-bred breaks of tracks like "Fooling." But Particle also caters to the new-age barneys on tunes such as "Assassin" and "Needles" complete with enough manic robotic contortions to have you rapidly evacuating your flesh vessel. Not one to rest on his laurels, Particle keeps things utterly weird too. "REM" is a deliciously unhinged descent into stuttering jungle psychedelia. And his link-up with Inja on "The Message" injects a taut, nerve-shredding atmospherics that'll have you sweating through three layers of merino wool. Don't sleep on this one, ravers.

Review: Fresh from delivering an EP of nostalgic 'Club Specials' on regular home Wolf Music Recordings, Frits Wentink returns to Clone's Royal Oak imprint for the first time since 2020. Title track 'Spiritual Basslines' - which is available in 'Club Mix' and 'Extended Mix' variations - follows a similar sonic template to the Amsterdam stalwart's most recent releases, adding classic deep house sounds to the kind of skippy, loose-limbed groove most often found on late '90s US garage releases. Highlights elsewhere across the EP include the vintage Nu Groove-influenced excellence of 'Eternity', the dub house meets-nu-disco shuffle of 'Golf Cart Joyride', and the deliciously deep, dusty and dubby shuffle of 'Olympiad'.

Pure laser-infested grot, this vibe is carefully maintained throughout as GinX gets more and more twisted with his sound design and processed demonic vocals.

Review: Fresh off the presses of Jungle Cakes Records comes the "Survival" EP, a four-track journey guided by the skilled hand of Gold Dubs. No stranger to production, Gold Dubs leverages his years of experience and diverse influences - from bassline to DnB - to craft a dynamic and electrifying listen. The EP kicks off with the aptly titled "Survival," a collaboration with Kalum featuring the distinctive lyricism of Rider Shafique. This track hits hard, both sonically and thematically, with pulsating basslines, warped sub frequencies, and expertly layered FX. Next up is "Infinity" a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a distinctly 90s vibe. Think sharp sub bass, heavy percussion, and vocal samples and synths that evoke a bygone era. Offering a stark contrast, "Bliss" lives up to its name. Soaring, spacey risers and futuristic basslines create a sense of weightlessness, perfectly complemented by the mesmerizing vocal effects. The EP closes with "Too Late," a showcase of Gold Dubs' mastery of the bassline genre. Warped subs, pulsating basslines, and tastefully sparse synths combine with captivating vocal samples to create an infectious groove. This is a track that will leave you hitting repeat and craving more.

Review: Next up on Laurent Garnier's label is a split release that explores the deeper end of house and techno. DJ Deep is up first with "What's Going On". Powered by raw, tribal beats and featuring lush pads, it sounds like the veteran house head's tribute to Joe Clausell's organic sound. Avision's "Hold No Groove" is also inspired by house music, but on this occasion, Chicago rather than New York is referenced. Combining a snaking bass with busy, layered percussion, the result is mesmerising. Deetron ups the tempo but maintains a deep sound on "Pulse", its musical but insistent rhythm recalls classic Kenny Larkin.

Review: Throughout their decade-long career, Alma Negra has combined their love of disco and deep house with percussion, instrumentation and ideas excavated from African, Caribbean and tropical musical cultures. On this EP, they largely ditch the latter inspirations, instead delivering full-throttle revivalist disco sounds where the Basel-based band's organic instrumentation and vocals combine with colourful synth sounds and heady horns. The headline attraction is undoubtedly 'Madrugada', a warming and thickset, subtly deep house-influenced take on the turn-of-the-80s NYC downtown disco-not-disco sound. It comes backed with two revisions - an extra-percussive, dubbed-out Yuksek tweak and the band's own dub disco-goes-deep house 'Dub Mix' - and the riotous, party-starting brilliance of 'Funky Fever'.

This four-track journey explores the producer's signature sound - think driving basslines and warm, soulful vibes - while incorporating a range of influences that keep things fresh. The EP kicks off with "Take It There," a powerful track that sets the tone with its pulsating stabs and undeniable groove. The title track, "Seascape," offers a beautiful contrast, layering airy pads over dynamic percussion, creating a dreamlike atmosphere on the dance floor. "Close To U" and "Exotica" further showcase DJ Steaw's versatility. Both tracks maintain a recognizable, nostalgic feel, perfect for those who appreciate classic deep house with a modern twist. They're undeniably club-ready, yet possess a quality that's equally suited for home listening.

Review: It's that thyme again! Filthy Habits are off to Tescos and heading straight for the condiment aisle for a little spice and seasoning. First up is 'Herb Deal', a bouncy bubbler that nods at the mid 2000s dancefloor sound and stinks of oregano. Elsewhere the tarragon-tinged 'Right Here' gets all switchy with its tear-out drops and bleepy flips while the swaggering Hazardian 'Brain Functions' will batter you will until you swear everything smells like dill. Deeper into the spice rack we reach for 'Disconnected' and shake our hips to the rattling rosemary scented loose limbed breaks while 'The White Feather' is a much colder, almost electro-informed stepper. It also reeks of parsley.

Kicking things off with "It's Mad," this track hits you with an instant surge of energy right out the gate. The thumping basslines and infectious groove just grab hold of you and don't let go until the ride is over. Moving to "Punished," and we're in a darker, grimier zone. The eerie melodies and nasty basslines create this tense, suspenseful vibe that keeps you on your toes. But as the track builds and builds, it just explodes into this intense barrage of hard-hitting bass and beats that leaves you feeling it deep down.

Review: Art of Tones fantastic collaborative EP with live disco-jazz outfit Chatobaron, last year's 'Flight of the Comet', have been given the remix treatment. The EP begins with a trio of takes on 'Ban The Disco'. Crackazat steps up first with a UK garage-influenced deep house revision rich in musical colour, before Bruno Hovart dons his familiar Patchworks alias for a luscious, all-live take that sits somewhere between deep disco, jazz-funk and organic house. If you're looking for a little more energy, check Paul Cut's driving, Rhodes-laden revision of the same track. Elsewhere, the 'Raw Analog Funk Remix' of 'Pendant Ce Temps La A Vera Cruz' is a languid, warm and richly organic deep house treat, while Tiurbojazz's take on 'Flight of the Comet' is a slow-motion, sax and piano-laden head-nodder with added Balearic sunshine.

Something Good EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: St Petersburg's own disco don Sunner Soul returns with three more predictably high-calibre slices of contemporary disco. The EP opens with the sumptuous, lounge-y and aptly titled 'Late Night Vibes' with its dreamy female vocal, chorus'd "oohs" and lavish strings. 'Right Place' then joins the dots between deep house, filter disco and 80s boogie in a most pleasing fashion, before finally we come to the slightly housier 'Something Good' with its rich, warm bassline and sampled chunks of interview dialogue with the mighty Tupac. What the EP doesn't have, you might argue, is any obvious peaktime calls to the dancefloor, but that's a good thing... this is for the headz!

Choir EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Leeds' own disco don Andy Buchan returns to Hot Gorilla with an EP consisting of what are, essentially, three nu disco-fied cover versions - specifically, his takes on 'Don't You (Forget About Me)' by Simple Minds, 'Get Lucky' by Daft Punk and 'Burning Down The House' by Talking Heads. But there's a twist - as the EP title suggests, each of those covers has been augmented by the employment of a full choir on vocal duties. It's an approach that may prove a bit 'Marmite' (for this writer, the treatment works best on 'Get Lucky') but it certainly makes a change from endless re-edits...

Review: Sam Pyro touches down on Subdue Audio for a very tasty collection indeed here, unveiling four rolling originals that pack both a unique and dancefloor-friendly punch. Opening up, we jump into the twisted vocal processing and eerie synthetic pad textures of 'Painkiller', giving us a vibrant title track that constantly leaves us wondering what's next. This is then followed by 'Tear It Down', a mind-melting combination of epic vocal lines and stuttering synthetic beauty, before 'Overtime' gives us a more spacious feeling, again working some real vocal wonder. Finally, 'Wanted' pushes the boat out into a more abstract synth-driven pocket, giving us a fiery closer to this wicked collection.

Review: One of Subway Soundz most consistent operators right now, Duece lets rip with another clutch of jump-up rib breakers. 'Shimmy Salsa' sets the pace with venom. Nagging and infectious, this one kicks hard for the doubles. Elsewhere other highlights include the rump shaking drama of 'Take Ya Time', the super grizzly face melter 'Nothin' To Worry About' and a very special VIP of 'Listen Up'. Shimmy shimmy ya!

Review: Buckle up for a high-octane ride with "Bomb Squad (Bou Remix)" on Low Down Deep Recordings. This remix by Bou injects fresh energy into the original track, taking it from jump-up territory to full-fledged drum & bass annihilation. The remix wastes no time in establishing its dominance. Gone are the original's playful elements; Bou slams the listener with a barrage of breakneck drumwork and a sub-bassline that will rattle your speakers. The signature jump-up sound is still present, but it's been twisted and contorted to create a more aggressive soundscape.

Review: Four40 have been known for their cultivation of talent since their inception, with this latest offering seeing the monstrous flavours of bullet tooth land for a much awaiting link up. Across these five tracks, we see exactly what bullet tooth is all about, with the moody sub pulses of 'Your Love' and crunching drum stutters of 'Immaculate Skank' giving us a truly vibrant experience. Killa P then touches down for a hard hitting vocal performance on the heavily syncopated slides of 'Brand New Day', followed by the pacey breaks-driven drum lines of 'Love Sensation'. Finally, we round off with a more subtle piece of soundscaping entitled 'Signal', bringing a touch of calm to bring this awesome debut drop to a close.

Review: While he never went away, it would be fair to say that DJ Sneak has enjoyed something of a career revival of late. This EP for Phonogramme follows strong recent outings for Heist Recordings, Hard Times and Toy Tonics. He begins in pleasingly bouncy and percussive mode on 'Let It Go', where warming stabs and hushed melodic motifs rise above a Kenny Dope style bumpin' house beat and deep, rich bass, before opting for a wonky, mind-mangling sound on title track 'Galactic Funk'. The Chicago veteran then gives it to us 'Soft & Ruff' - think rolling, locked-in grooves and slowly evolving melodic loops - while closing cut 'Crashin' Out' is a suitably sub-heavy slab of deep loop-house headiness.

Review: Natasha Diggs gives a fresh spin to Blaze's soulful house classic "Breathe" on Slip 'N' Slide. Known for her passion for funk and rare grooves, Diggs infuses her NYC-inspired style into the remix, breathing new life into the track while paying homage to the golden era of music. Her remix of "Breathe" highlights her exceptional taste and talent, seamlessly blending the original's saxophone and trumpet sounds with her own smooth grooves and captivating synthwork.

Review: Following Blckhry's killer EP at the start of the year, Bites continue to serve up with this geometrical masterclass - 'Corners' from one of their most consistent artists, Flatline. Very much of a game of two halves, he kicks off with two solo originals; the sweetly wonky and weird 'Corners' and a the old school inspired grizzliness of 'Evil Form'. Rounding up we have two collabs where Flatline links with Steryx for something deliciously harsh and angular on 'Ready' while 'Feel That' closes on a woozy tip. All 'Corners' covered

Review: Submorphics on ThirtyOne! How cool is this? We could write a risotto recipe for the rest of this text because you already how this situation is going down. Supreme frequencies, silky smooth and starlit, surging up into the cosmos at 174pmh with a powerful sense of hope and futurism. Some trips are more vibrant than others, however. And forever bright leap and bleep of cuts such as 'Odanata' and 'Astroglider', there's a much darker Detroitian bite to the lead track 'Galattico' and the deeper, more belligerent 'Bluntnose'. Infinity thumbs up.

Review: Midnight Riot do their bit to address the much-discussed gender imbalance in dance music with a 25-track collection featuring an almost entirely female line-up (though a few possessors of Y-chromosomes do sneak in as collaborators). With big names like Kathy Brown, DJ Paulette, Rowetta, Caron Wheeler, Sulene Fleming and Natasha Kitty Katt nestling up alongside a host of more up-and-coming artists, the quality standard is high throughout, with the musical emphasis largely on good-time, Saturday night house and disco vibes, though there a few more gently paced moments - notably in the form of covers of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' and Sade's 'Sweetest Taboo' - while Paulette & Massey serve up a pleasing dose of acid on 'Sheroes'.

Review: Slithering around the CIA gaff like he's the captain of the good ship Slytherin, Serpnt sheds some serious skin with his debut EP. Without doubt his biggest release to date, over four tracks he gives us a timeless treatment with curmudgeonly bass and moody, offkey grooves. Highlights include the wonky grit, detuned keys and strange warped basses of 'Rave' (with Infrah) and the spacious siren-winding wriggler 'Different Flex' but the whole EP is something special.
