Review: It's definitely summer time as the big soulful booties start rolling out and sounding perfect. Fokuz have been a great source of these edits over the years and these 90s switch-ups are no exception. In fact they're some of the best we've heard as the likes of Tupac, Erykah Badu and Roy Ayers get the 174 treatment. Subtly done in a way that's reminiscent of the early 2000s golden era liquid, they give the original song all the space it needs to breath while bringing it into dnb realm. Highlights include the glistening jazz of 'Call Tyrone' and the Roy Ayers iconic 'Searching'. Beautiful.

Review: Since establishing in 1999, there is no doubt Fokuz Recordings is one of the most influential powerhouses in the realm of Drum & Bass music. This time, the label is back with this mysterious pseudonym Unknown Artist. We will not be able to answer the tell you who is behind Unknown Artist, but as any previous releases, you are in for another hit here. The track titled 'Take Me As I Am' commences with exhilarating hyper-speed breaks and chilling hi-hats, creating an electrifying atmosphere. Following this, the soothing and romantic 'Do 4 Love' unfolds, offering a tranquil experience that nurtures the mind, body, and soul. Additionally, 'Long Way Up' presents an exceptional fusion of impeccably crafted R&B vocal samples and sleek beats. Furthermore, the release includes a thought-provoking, late-night rendition of Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy The Silence,' delicately infused with piano melodies.

Review: The mysterious Unknown Artist returns to Fokuz with another fat round-up of re-rubs and big sample-slapping D&B. Good time D&B for party heads, and sculpted well enough for the heads to stroke their beards or give a wry grin, once again we're treated to a whole load of familiar vocals and hooks laced carefully in, around and over the breaks. Highlights include the Darondo flexing 'Didn't I' (which some may remember from Breaking Bad), the seminal rave classic 'Need Your Loving' and the Badu to the bone 'On & On' but each cut is guarantee to get the butts wriggling.

Review: More mysterious fodder from DJ Kaos' Jolly Jams imprint, which specialises in oddball, off-kilter and saucer-eyed re-edits, reworks and bootleg remixes. 'Promo Only (Original)' is in many ways typical of the imprint's skewed but inspired output, with dreamy, elongated chords, lo-fi electronic melodies, pots-and-pans percussion and (presumably sampled) eyes-closed guitar solos riding a raw TB-303 bassline and machine drums. 'Promo Only (Remix A)' layers the same lilting Steve Hillage-esque guitars over a hypnotic groove and druggy synthesizer arpeggio lines, while 'Promo Only (Remix B)' re-imagines the track as a bright, sun-kissed post-Italo number that's as tactile and touchy-feely as they come. Cracking cosmic disco goodness all told.

Review: With an instantly recogniseable piano skit from the early 2000s Ashanti hit "Foolish", this slice of smooth RnB influenced drum and bass comes fresh from the Focuz bed of cool new talent. Funnily enough, not much is known about this particular Unknown, however what we can say is that his brand of sunshine grooves and soulful twists give some of the sunnier liquid gods a run for their money. "One More" revels in LA rap and pop-gangsta style, whereas "Notorious Honey" sees syrupy-smooth vocals swoon over a jangly guitar riff and rolling vibes. One for the beach bums.

Review: Any ideas as to who this mystery artist might be? Snapped up by Fokuz to continue their unstoppable roster of impressive new and upcoming artists, both tracks on this enigmatic release hold true to their ethos of lush, liquid rhythms and classic D&B sounds. The first untitled track is heavily influenced by old school jungle, but comes at it from a far more laid back approach. Sweeping strings round off the edges and uniquely husky vocals sweeten the deal. "Liquid Love" is an all out summer roller, building that big, warm, bouncy vibe alongside soulful sampling and earworm-inducing vocals. Impressive stuff - now we just need to find out who they are.

Review: Lush summer sounds from the most enigmatic new producer on the block, "Jungle On broadway" is the perfect dub pick-me-up for the grey UK skies, vamping it up with hot ragga sounds. "Steppin (Rollers remix)" is an all-out horns 'n beats roof raiser, taking those sizzling summer sounds to new heights with vintage samples and a touch of cheeky track switching antics. Fun and flavas - what more could you want?

Review: And now for a stepper and a roller of a different type, Focuz dip into their fresh artists roster to pick up two tasty soul-influenced beauties. "Gonna Be Alright" is equal parts stompin' and groovin' with funky guitar and beautiful vocals from Rose Hart. Second track "The Other Side of the D&B Game" takes a smooth, soulful approach, with rich brass and an R&B feel. Velvety. Take a chance if you've not heard of these guy before and pick this up - both tunes are stunning.

Review: Steeped in mystery, the latest release from Fokuz should soon have tongues wagging as to who the mystery man or woman behind the moniker is. It builds from a sparse, stripped back intro of ticking beats, eerily placed so as to make it feel like you're intruding on something. Slowly it builds out from this with firm, terse drumbeats and a murmuring melody and silky smooth vocal. The jazz and soul influences come in thick and fast, with a sultry trumpet tone and strumming guitar reminiscent of the sounds of Bonobo and Andreya Triana. Intriguing from the off, this is well worth checking out.

Review: Fokuz's Unknown Artist is back for their latest outing on the imprint and, as per usual, it's an EP full of non-bootleg bootlegs, as the Dutch label continue their somewhat cheeky but nonetheless highly appreciated talent for sourcing recognisable samples. 'Just Vibe With It' is beautifully smooth, its back end just rollicks with soul and there's a deliciously swing, eyes-closed sensation across its arrangement. 'You Know How To' is the other standout, with a set of sumptuous samples that scream samba Sundays, all placed over a funky 174 beat. What more could you want?
