i know u combines tribal rhythms, pounding bass, insistent synth stabs, some distressed dialogue and a insanely large crash in the most maniacal way imaginable for what has to be one of the most devastating and original tunes for a very long time. sparse and spacious but yet rhythmical and energetic, lxc manages the ultimate arrangement balancing act here. the intensity increases gradually as the track progresses, culminating in an all-out tribal war ! a modern day jungle masterpiece from one of the most under-estimated producers around. on the flip, senses finally unleashes a track that decimated the very first technicality all-nighter back in 2004. 8 years later and that power is still very much in evidence! everybody want go heaven. nobody want dead – taking influence from the 1990 film marked for death, senses builds a dense vibe here, thick with imminent danger. rolling drums soon give way to a energetic ride-heavy break and pounding sub-bass hits. drum rolls drop and mentasms screech before the storm begins to subside half way through. the respite is brief however and after a complete silence the track reassembles, beginning with some insane slow to fast mentasm pitching which continues as a dark, slick reece begins to build with mysterious atmospherics. the tension is cut by the return of the drums – rolling along at first, before the mentasms and subs hit hard again, signaling a percussive onslaught! jungle just got catapulted into 2012.

any fan of drum & bass will know the name cyantific. having built a reputation as a leader of the new school d&b generation, jon stanley is now approaching a decade of releasing incredible music thats equally at home on the dance floor as it is on your ipod or in your car. last year saw cyantific unleash an incredible single for ram records, as well as bounce it / obey on his own self-titled cyantific record label. here we have the follow up to that release and its undoubtedly another exciting 12 inch, packed with plenty of cyantifics trademark energy. effortlessly combining sharp production skills with graceful musicality, you can always be assured that a new cyantific record is one to watch out for and this new single is certainly no exception. mirador takes the lead, opening with huge sweeping sound fx and a bouncing synth line that harks back to a classic ram sound. its not long before you notice cyantifics signatures though, as he brings in vocal snippets and washing pads that gradually build and grow before a monster bassline drops into the mix. this one undeniably straddles the line between restrained musical class and outright dance floor mayhem. on the flip side defect comes in at an infinitely more paranoid level. strings are infused with urgency and rolling breaks thunder along, dragging you kicking and screaming towards the inevitable drop. you wont be disappointed when it hits either, grinding bassline sections are juxtaposed with obsessive synths, all pulling you deeper into cyantifics musical world.

this is the debut vinyl release from up & coming producer jim morton. the 12 inch presents two different flavours of the jungle sound. the a side is nyc-dub, a heavy duty track with plenty of pace and energy. an atmospheric vibe is present but the production still carries enough weight with the beats and sub to work the dance floor. think ray keith meets breakage!

after leaving behind the somalian pirates, geiom is cruising the sunny waters of the indian ocean when he picks up a distress signal on his scanner. he follows the signal until he locates a tiny remote island and a guy called bowly, who said that he was on his way from france to the new world, but got totally lost. judging by the age of the map he was using its easy to see how. bowly spent his time on the island hanging out with the locals who amuse themselves by creating a unique style of music on some amazing handcrafted instruments. geiom helps bowly get on his way again, and leaves him with a more useful map. some months later, bowly beams over his music as a gift from his new found homeland in canada ? the tracks are like some strange mutation of those distant tropical players and the uk-based pirate radio transmissions that bowly has been tuning into ? geiom loves the result and decides to send them straight over to transition in london for mastering and release on berkane sol. this 12 has been getting played by selectors like ? subswara crew nyc (soul motive), brackles (rinsefm), grevious angel (soul jazz), martin kemp (blunted robots), cooly g (hyperdub), shortstuff (ramp), spamchop (wigflex), oneman (rinsefm)?

absolute madness from immerse here, as october is released from his minimal techno day centre to wreak havoc amongst the dubsteppers. elephants is a pretty appropriate name for the a, as bongo loops and ominuous machine noises are summarily flattened by the phasing bass crunch and trumpeting midrange. add a dash of running breakbeat to the mix and you have a strange yet effective dancefloor worrier. flipside, medium opts for broken techno stylings, simmering pads and clattering percussion setting the scene for the tense main event. 8/10 recommended review by diccon c/o idjmagazine

this tastemaking ep combines four key cuts of the album including the two scorching club burners dont stop (feat. bliss & main flow of mood) and pull em down (feat. electro crunk general shane fontane). the futuristic slow motion funk of binary poetry is blessed by the gifted voice of weather girls backround singer kerry l. dooley. pump up the volume this is bit hop

audio phreaks new signing archie cane has been causing some seriously big waves on the dubstep circuit of late and when you hear his music, you will understand exactly why. a recent upload from ukf that is a collaboration with dream has really got people talking!here is his first vinyl release to date and boy does it pack a punch! >kill everything< on the a side is a all out, in your face bass monster! gritty and technical low frequencies make up the production with heavy beats slicing through the track. 2 tunes that compliment the release very well. dont miss out, i m like you, very limited press on this one.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

following a busy year of stylistically varied releases under various guises on his own magic + dreams label, ralph cumbers delivers his first long-player for punch drunk. with a title lifted from the lysergic prose of a brian aldiss novel and grooves informed by the loopier, more martian aspects of chi-town jack and detroit techno-soul, >reeling skullways< marks a subtle, but highly alluring development in the evolution of cumbers primary recording project. long-term bass clef fans may be surprised by the lack of samples on this album, and in many ways it follows a similar creative process to his recent work as some truths, with most rhythms and textures sculpted from the raw, elemental waveforms of modular analogue synthesis. but with tighter editing, contagious melodies and perfectly positioned drum patterns, the end results reveal bass clef simultaneously at his most stripped-back, focused, playful, complicated, emotional and irresistibly groovy. unfettered by fashionable production tricks, imbued with a timeless machine-soul heart, >reeling skullways< is one of those albums you will be reaching for again and again.

from the unlikely bass music hotspot of austin, texas, the mighty vvv returns to fortified audio with his strongest material yet in the form of his – and the labels – debut album. if you slept on the projects ep we released in 2010, nows the time to get acquainted with the dynamic progressive garage thats garnered praise from the likes of martyn and oneman. while still giving nods to the classic sounds of ghost, early tempa and vintage dem-2 productions, across the sea updates these formats with deep and futuristic synth work, subtle but weighty basslines and precision rhythms that mark vvv out as one of the most formidable producers working in the crowded field of bass music. this time around its not only the future sounds of london that are present, but also the ghosts of classic chicago house, richard d james-esque electronica and an ethereal contemporary soul sound. across the sea showcases the strongest work to date from a guy we consider to be one of the best in the game

welcome to the first love sick recordings release brought to you by the likes of riskotheque, marchmellow and screen age & mudie (aka southbound hangers). a side >all alone< provides an exhilarating journey through heartbreak, loss and isolation. in the intro, delayed piano chords hint at distant happy memories but soon make way for stark 808s and womb-like sub frequencies that bring the listener back to bitter reality. insistent vocal snippets serve only to galvanize the tracks emotional content. truly a song to cry to as much as dance. in contrast to this is aa >you dont understand<. positivity and hope pervade this little beauty, its glistening synth hooks and intricate drum programming conjuring thoughts of joy and new found affection. perhaps the perfect sound-track to a summer romance.

if you thought we were spoiling you with the last build release (baobinga & hyetals joint 12, loved and played by pretty much everyone), then you should probably look away now. yep, once again, the game has been upped most thoroughly: build006 sees guido, one of the most original talents to emerge from the fertile bristol scene, team up with genre-blind bass-music badman (and label boss) baobinga, for another collaborative 12&#8243,,, of impeccable quality and taste… and of course, weird artwork.

san francisco-based producer antiserum steps up for dub police with two unique collaborations, featuring local producers ill-esha and 12th planet respectively. his music is a masterfully crafted fusion of influences that results in a sound entirely his own, balancing light against dark and colour against pure bass pressure. showcasing a deft musicality as well as an unrivalled talent for system shaking productions, antiserum is taking the scene by storm. releases on narco.hz, s.c.u.m and argon amongst others have already propelled him to the forefront of the rapidly growing american dubstep scene, with plenty more still to come. on the a side, he is joined by ill-esha on >zephyr<, a sick g-funk inflected roller. skittering hi-hats and tough drums lay the foundations on this one, with the deep, smooth bass sweeping underneath. the vibrant synths weave in and out of each other with ease, swimming around the mix and swelling expansively through the speakers. on the flip he teams up with 12th planet on the massive >purple & gold<. the g-funk influences continue to flow through this track, pinned down by a hard bassline and taut drums. the shimmering synths sliding over the top of the percussion and off into the atmosphere give the track an epic stop-in-your-tracks effect.

ltd 50% deal ...significant success for artists is based on two things: talent and timing. dave.i.d has talent by the spadeful but his timing may also be spot on. when dave.i.d released his debut single in march 09 he was probably too ahead of the game but now as we enter the last third of 2010 it feels right on the money. daves initial release went down very well though. paul lester in the guardians important new band of the day feature totally lost it, calling dave.i.d >totally brilliant< and dubbing him >aphex timbaland<. his single was voted single of the year in dazed & confused and made the end of year round-up in drowned in sound. now with the amazing zola jesus setting up so well around the world and the dark electronica coming more to the fore outside its nerd roots, dave.i.d sounds perfectly in tune with the unhappy, troubled sound of now.

for this tune hem and terrible shock take apart an 80s soul lp, add some sci-fi synths, lazy drums and a sprinkling of analogue fx. after many painstaking hours of recording the duo take a well earned coffee break, then return to the studio just in time to see the back of the light-footed blunted robots man shortstuff as he runs off chuckling >your vocals are mine now!<. revenge plans are made, vehicles are fuelled up in preparation ? but these activities are cut short by the arrival of an email from the culprit ? it seems that he took the files back to his hq for what he describes as a refix ? with the engines still running, hem and shox check out the file and find it to be a work of genius ? what they hear is an accelerated kaleidoscopic fusion of on-beat claps and snares in a peak-time northern soul style, super heavy subbass hits and hectic syncopated keyboard chops.
