until now duffstep has hidden in the seedy undergrowth of london always in disguise, clandestine and covert, ever plotting his imminent escape. this bid for freedom then, is called >getting to sirius<. sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, in ancient greek times sirius was said to mark the beginning of summer, where women became aroused and men became weak. duffsteps debut album >getting to sirius< is a blend of dub influenced, down tempo beats winding through layers of melody, synths and vocals softening the blow and giving a nice, warm and fuzzy edge to the thick slabs of sonic concrete. though you dont have to wait long before a nice big bass-line knocks you down on your arse again.

untold drops his follow up to the >gonna work out fine< ep with the highly anticipated >flexible< on brainmath. as always, there is little information, and limited copies available.

we are extremely proud to present the re-wired ep, introducing you to four exciting new producers who you will be hearing plenty more from over the coming years.

support from sinden, 2562, toddla t, poirier,baobinga, murderbot, roska, starkey, bok bok, dub boy.... the newly formed steak house records bring some much-needed carnival fire for these winter months, their sights firmly on the trinidad carnival season. label owners atki2 and hanuman take the helm on this release, enlisting the vocal talents of mc zulu on the ep?s standout lead track ?hyped up?. the party continues on the flip, with the psychedelic funky of ?haarlem drift? and the arabic folky heater ?tigris riddim?, already a firm favourite with toddla t. mashing up global riddims and bass heavy genre bending ruffness, they incorporate sounds from bassline to bashment, grime to dubstep to funky to soca and back again

hyperdub has long been a fan of grime don terror danjahs razor sharp productions, his unparalleled, skittering rhythm science, deadly riffs, brilliant technicolour synth squiggles, gremlin cackle signature and general ear for a catchy tune. on this first ep for the label, he showcase two strains of his many skills. acid cranks up the energy, with an ascending synth crashing into stuttering drums and synths. they play hide and seek with each other for a bit, before the track unexpectedly breaks into a 4 / 4 house rhythm, and then shatters into pieces again. on the flipside, pro plus, terror is joined by long time collaborator d.o.k for a slice of their classic sound - an infectious, twisted sickly sweet synth melody wrapped around syncopated, stop start drums to mean effect.

faisty records returns with its second offering of up front bass music, featuring two tracks crafted by dj and producer dom. suntime is a dark, brooding stomper sure to give your subs a workout whilst the flip side, tall tales has a lighter more energetic feel that is sure to bring a crowd to life. the brighton based producer dom has had a string of successful releases both on faisty records and on clandestine cultivations and his tracks regularly get crowds moving in clubs everywhere. watch out in the near future for forthcoming releases on faisty, clandestine and l2s.

wonky synthes and jazzy keys set this release off with a bang, with some cheeky little trumpets in there too...

a seriously heavyweight plate from twisted, a member of germanys acclaimed dutty dubz crew. erratic is a grimey monster of a tune, the subtleties of the intro with its pattering bongos and stealthy pads giving no indication of the carnage to come. dropping harder than a ton of bricks, the filthy buzzsaw bass comes swooping in beneath slamming halfstep beats, squirming between the enormous bashy snares and sinister electro riff topline. on the flipside twisted goes a little more leftfield, tapping into the chiptune flavour thats currently permeating the dubstep scene via the likes of rustie and zomby.

the sunshine coast?s resident electronic maverick, milanese is back on with his heavy-as-fuck 2nd album on the mighty planet mu, and a snapshot of the continued evolution of his unique, fresh angle on streetwise uk bass music.
having pioneered the heavy, dark and twisted experimental dubstep sound with his previous releases on warp, combat, mg77, arcola, seed and planet mu, this new lp sees a shift towards collaboration. with strong vocal artists like ben sharpa (pioneer unit, cape town) and rqm (al haca, vienna), who deliver interesting lyrics in a unique style, melded perfectly with milanese?s own fat swerving basslines, solid drums full of attitude and odd, mangled samples.
melting dubstep?s earth shaking frequencies with hip hop & grime vocals and hard edged timbaland influenced drums and percussion, the result defies categorization: neither dubstep, grime, hip hop nor idm - you could call it a mashup of all these, but it?s more accurate to say it sounds like streetwise bass music for the year 3000. incredibly strange beats and sounds but keeping the funk, fury and bounce 100% on lockdown.
challenging, menacing and forward thinking like his previous releases 1up on warp (2004) and extend on planet mu (2006), its also 31 year old steve milanese?s most dancefloor record yet.

massive 2 tracker by sarantis for the 3rd release on subsonik

fourth outing from the highly-reputed spatial, and at this point in proceedings the mans work should need no further introduction to the many listeners already up on his sound ? and yet, these fresh productions ? >100402< and >100319< ? mark something of a departure from the so-called >future garage< tag with which he has frequently been associated in the media.

red007 sees pushing red taking a slightly different turn with more of a juke style release. (greek - known as dimitri) buckles down with a with what could be called as a fusion of juke, ghetto house & footwork to outstanding results. the sharp 808 kicks and bassline pulsate throughout the tune while a sharp vocal sample cuts through giving the tune that much more punch! flip over for the wonderful ikonika remix. ikonika has really taken this tune and given it her own feel and appeal. turning the stormer into more of a halftime/ house feel, its hard to put to words the outcome. its ferocious & melodic and all wrapped up with that signature ikonika feel! one you just have to hear!

after releases on hotflush & scuba nyabingi aka mc vicious from slaughter mob hits us with his long awaited 12inch on halo beats. a cocktail of dub and 4x4 drums gives this track a take on dubstep that isnt done enough. this dubstep pioneer demonstrates the bumpy side of this music

2nd mindset release by narcossist!

one of the great aspects of the endlessly varying bass music soundwave is the way it seems able, even compelled, to fuse antecedant styles and genres to itself. in the most innovative hands, influences from last month are absorbed and reworked as smoothly as those from last century, and creativity sparks brightest when the marriage of form and function takes place beyond recognised boundaries? and it?s from that unrestricted zone that uk producer o-dessa emerges. opening with an initial resemblance in sound to the same plaintive blue air of burial, as these tracks resonate deeper in the mind, it becomes clear that this sonic affinity is merely a veil beneath which a new heart beats. the rhythms lurking below the bassline in ?deeper? are like some undiscovered amalgam of old skool hardcore and something you might hear on the latest dirty south mixtape, which somehow manage to defy sense and co-exist in a driving and breathtaking way. mournful mariachi horns and a plunging dub bassline intermingle in a desolate approximation of sergio leone?s western soundtracks, while reedy flutes and distant female voices build a swirling vapour through which skittering woodblocks and metallic ticks raise an anxious sense of motion. anchored by a vast, cone-melting sub-bass undertow, ?deeper? s treasures are buried well below the surface. the juxtapositional subtle-tear-out nature of o-dessa?s production is even more apparent in ?million dollarz?, which reveals itself in stages to be a gradual descent into layers of tweaked amen breaks, but with a grandeur unlike anything previously heard, even though that drum pattern has already been chopped countless ways over the years. it?s not until midway through its five-and-a-half minutes that the famous phased snares rise from the dense banks of atmospherics, but when they do, a moment of blurred euphoria hits and the tune bursts into colourful life. this 12¬ is the first broadcast of many more to come from o-dessa, as - like many have in their own way before and still more strive to do so now - he embarks on his individual journey in the continual reinvention of bass music. instant thrill junkies won?t find their fix in these grooves, but followers of the path less travelled will recognise many signs pointing the way to a rich future.

redmist bring the talents of fx 909 to the table, crispy fried beats roll thru intro giving way to a trancy filled breakdown then twisted swirling bass flows throughout the track making this a dancefloor destroyer.

kraken are rolling again, with their second release in as many weeks (check out krkn009), and its good to have the denmark based dons back! very little is known about a side artist and la resident jaybird, but im sure plenty of people will be on the hunt for info after this little number drops. absolutely relentless, crushing dubstep music, a refreshingly nasty little number reminiscent in atmosphere to one of krakens earliest releases eye of the demon by wolfman (jsl), this tune is currently tearing up clubs worldwide, with support from 2000f and notably featuring on hatcha & crazy ds kiss fm radio show, you re gunna love this one! legendary kraken artist jsl pops up on the flip with a brand new beat, kept relatively under wraps this one comes out of nowhere and smacks is straight round the chops like kimbo slice! act quickly on this one, it wont last.

full artwork custom sleeves. n types label is on a roll right now and 003 sees a massive release from budapest based dj/producer matt u who is nothing less than a tune making machine. armed with a seriously heavy deep and techy based sound, matyas szalai has made a name for himself releasing hard and heavy drum & bass for labels as renowned as the legendary moving shadow, timeless and cylon. with over 34 releases to his name since 2004, this is one producer you should be keeping an eye on. his music encapsulates many genres of music, from drum & bass to dubstep, but all with that matt u sound running throughout. recently his dubstep tracks have been getting plenty of attention from djs such as n type, trg, luke envoy, tes la rok and many more. look out for his releases forthcoming on subway, boka and true tiger.

vicissitude - zu deutsch wandel, wechselhaftigkeit, unbeständigkeit - ist der titel des neuen, dritten albums von maps alias james chapman, das anfang juli auf mute erscheint. schwang im zweitling *tuning the mind* noch der hedonismus des mercury price nominierten erfolgsdebüts *we can create* nach, vermittelt das wunderschöne indie-rock/pop-album *vicissitude* nun die unmittelbare konfrontation chapmans mit der realität: *writing and recording coincided with quite a lot of things in my life changing. although things are good for me now, every song on the record comes from a long period of me having to take stock, to start again almost. i took myself out of everything and had a hard look at what i wanted to do and where i wanted to take maps.* den letzten feinschliff der platte übernahmen produzent und sound engineer ken thomas (sugarcubes, m83, sigur ros), der zuletzt auch an *we can create* mitarbeitete, und sein sohn joylon, der schon als programmierer und produzent für bands wie s.c.u.m. und telepathe aktiv war.

with the >blame it on the dutch< ep, mwm delivers his 3th vinyl release. this 3 track 12inch contains 3 of hollands most respected dubstep producers/djs. >blame it on the dutch< started as a radioshow on the american internet station glitch.fm almost 3 years ago, and is still on air. this is the first of a collection orange pressed vinyls with dutch bass producers only, resulting in a impressive collection.

blah blah blah turn 5 years old this may and as part of their celebrations they have saved perhaps their most exciting signing yet for a limited weare5 vinyl release, the prolific genre juggling blacksmif. blacksmif flirts on the edge of reason, taking flamboyant percussive and melodic risks within a bass driven jazz tinged environment, such is the adventurousness of his music that he has already gathered himself quite a fan club, among which he can count mixmag, gilles peterson, and mary anne hobbs as leading members.

2methyl (aka 2methylbulbe1ol) is an up and coming 26 year old audio heavyweight from the east of france. at first a fan of post-hardcore, grindcore and noise rock, his discovery of venetian snares and xanopticon opened new boundaries for him to explore, resulting in his own distinctive, crushing sound. he uses music as a form of narrative, leading dance floors through intriguing cyberpunk, industrial soundscapes. 2methyl s releases to date include 2 ep s on rotator s ruff recordings imprint, and another one on komodo dragon records. he shared stage with eight frozen module, niveau zero, sinister souls, counterstrike, reso, dope d.o.d, luke viber, shitmat.with his new ep on overclockheadz rec., 2methylbulbe1ol dives deeper into his approach of dubstep,a blend of metallic heaviness, mechanic pianos dull melancholia and the humming of sub-bass reminiscing the hyper technological sounds of neuro-funk. 3 dystopian visions of an hyperspace haunted by fantasies of civilization, 3 requiems for mankind sung by orphan automatons. to complete the whole, a stripped-out version of golem by hecq, a mastering by angelos liaros (mobthrow), splendidly-sleeved by the old accomplice okiko.

hush arbors and arbouretum have each been exploring for years now the intersection of progressive folk and psychedelic rock, albeit filtered through their own distinct sounds. it was only a matter of time before their paths would cross. keith wood and dave heumann met at a show in baltimore and discovered their mutual appreciation for each others music. the two bands planned a joint european tour, and recorded aureola to further showcase and celebrate their complimentary sounds.

meet bwana. his tunes started racking up plays and conversations commenced with new music buddies xi, submerse and djd. a variety of different 130bpm sounds were toyed with from dubstep, garage, 2 step, 808 dubstep and his very own mashes of r&b-lead garage-step. it all seemed to work. a bunch of labels got in touch and tracks were signed to mad decent and montreal based infinite machine.
